Guardian Blade


E

Discord’s conversation with Fluttershy at the beginning of season 2 ends in a small bet being made. It was nothing to hard, just that Fluttershy had said, “laughter is more enjoyable when sharing it with others,” so Discord randomly decides to challenge her to prove it.

Fluttershy soon learns that sharing some laughter with Discord involves her learning a few things that in no way fit into her simple lifestyle. But the odd thing is she actually kind of started to enjoy hanging out and causing a bit of chaos with the draconiquis. Now if only she could find a way of helping ponies instead of bothering them.

(Any suggestions for a better description would be greatly appreciated)

Hello everyone! Please let me know how you enjoyed the story so far! Feedback is greatly appreciated. And I’m quite accepting of any criticism you may have. This is my first fan fiction after all. XD

I wrote chapter two before I even posted this. So wail it might take a bit of editing, hopefully it will be out soon.
Sincerely, Guardian Blade.
And as always, please remember,
Be loyal,
Be honest,
Be friendly,
Be generous,
Try to bring happiness to others,
And most importantly, be kind.

But, wouldn't Discord always enjoy causing chaos with someone, even if it's just a small amount?

Well I’m sure he would enjoy it, the actual bet was could Fluttershy get him to enjoy it a vary noticeable amount more then total chaos. Discord loves causing total chaos, so it’s a bet of wether or not having somepony along for the ride can out weigh how much less chaos he’s causing.

So yes of course he would enjoy it, but he thinks he enjoys total chaos more. Remember that before he met Fluttershy he’d never had a friend before.

I really hope I understood your question correctly. If there’s some part you think needs altering just let me know, and I’ll see what I can do.

Thank you for commenting! And I appreciate any feedback you might have.
Sincerely, Guardian Blade.

First off, I’d like to apologize for not responding for so long. I thought I’d get a notification or an email if someone commented, but I guess I was wrong about that. So sorry for the long wait.

Anyway, thank you so much for commenting! It really means a lot to know someone enjoys this! And it’s just what I needed to help me get back to work on this. I kinda have a bad habit of overworking myself on projects, getting tiered, then putting them off for waaaaay to long. But knowing someone it enjoying my work dose help keep me going.

Thanks for the grammar corrections! I’ll get to fixing those shortly. Honestly I was expecting more. XD

You know, now that I think about it I’m actually a little glad I read your comment now. I’ve just started work on this again, and wail I’m almost ready to post chapter 3, I’ve been putting off working on chapter 4. But reading this helped perk me back up and stop all the procrastinating I always do. Big thank you for that!

Anyway, if you have any suggestions for what you think would be fun to see in this story just let me know! I don’t care what they are, as anything has the possibility to give me some inspiration for a chapter.

Well, thank you once again for commenting!
Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

Thank you for understanding! And once again sorry for taking so long to respond. I do feel pretty bad about that, especially after I asked people to comment. So my sincere apologies once again.

Actually, wail I do ship FlutterCord, I decided not to make this a ship fic. The reason being I wanted to write something that everyone, no matter who they ship, could enjoy. Also I don’t trust myself to write romance properly. XD
Oddly enough, I enjoy several different Discord ships. Such as FlutterCord, CelestCord, and . . . DisPie? PinkieCord? I can’t remember remember what the Pinkie/Discord ship name was right now. But yeah, I’m a bit more open on the shipping. Which is probably one reason I decided to make a fic like this. That wail it could easily be looked at as a ship fic, isn’t actually written as one. Again, I really don’t trust myself to write romance properly.

Again, thank you for commenting!
Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

I like this, a very novel idea, and it's entirely too rare an occasion that we get to see Fluttershy doing something fun. She could drive Twilight batty by letting Twilight see her levitating something out of the corner of her eye, but when Twilight turns to look, nothing's happening. It would be the pinkie-sense debacle all over again.

On another matter, you seem to be getting some grammar stutters, try reading the chapter back to yourself out loud, I find that helps me even out the flow when I'm writing something.

So excited to see what kind of mischief those two could get into.

Happy to hear that! Though any suggestions are appreciated, nomatter what they are. As there’s a chance to get inspired from just about anything. It’s just that the hardest part is keeping Fluttershy in character.

Anyway, thank you for commenting! And if you ever see something that you feel could be written better, feel free to let me know. As I want to make this as enjoyable a read as I can.

Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

I wouldn't mind if Fluttershy and Discord put on an impromptu Bride of Discord performance. That way, it's a reference to the fiction., AND a WTF moment at the same time.

9059799
Thank you for saying so! I’m glad people are enjoying this.
Honestly I think that the reason for there being less fics about Fluttershy just having fun is probably because writing her like that and keeping her in character is pretty difficult I’m guessing. Actually it’s one of the reasons I wrote the part where Fluttershy realized that Discord didn’t have any friends. It gave her the motivation and determination to do things and be a little more out going then she normally was back in season 2, which helped keep her in character for these later events.

. . . Yup, I talk to much. But yeah, keeping Fluttershy in character has honestly been one of the hardest parts of writing this. I have to keep in mind her kind hearted personality, but at the same time write about her coming up with things for her and Discord to do. Luckily I have a couple of ideas, but I’m not sure how good they are. Oh well, I guess I’ll try my best!

Also thanks for the suggestion! I’m not sure if it would fit to well, as Fluttershy is trying to keep it all secret. But I’ll keep it in mind! I might be able to use it eventually, or perhaps get an idea from it. So thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the advice on reading out loud, though I’m never vary comfortable doing that, but honestly it would probably be good for me to practice a little. And yeah, my grammar definitely isn’t the best. Though honestly I’ve been trying to not procrastinate so much over what I write, which is one thing that tiers me out mentality. So if reading it out loud helps me check over for mistakes easier and better, that would be awesome!

Thank you for commenting! It really dose mean a lot.
Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

Hmmmm, an interesting idea. Though since Fluttershy is trying to keep her involvement a secret, so I’m not sure if I could pull it off to well. And I’m not sure if I’d be able to do a reference to such a great fanfic justice.

However, your comment did give me an idea. And I might just be having Discord and Fluttershy (who would be disguised as Discord without a beard again) go out on “date” somewhere. Which of course will utterly confuse the rest of the main 6 as they wonder why Discord is taking himself out to eat like it’s completely normal. That’s the general idea I have so far anyway. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a good chapter out of it! As sometimes I do mess up when writing.

Anyway, thank you for commenting! . . . You know, I’m starting to wonder if I should just make this a ship fic. Originally I wanted to make something everyone, no matter who they shipped, could enjoy. But I’m starting to wonder if I should change that. It definitely wouldn’t be the main focus, but more of an ending. Eh, it’s just an idea. Perhaps I’ll ask if people would like me to try in an authors note. I honestly don’t trust myself to write romance properly, but I might be able to pull it off near the end or something.

. . . Well I’ve just blabbers to much again. XD
Have a wonderful day!
Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

9060475
Thanks for the advice! I’ll make sure to check it out. Currently I’m using the notes app that came with my device. And yeah, just a little wail ago I noticed I’d written wail instead of while again. Definitely got to break that habit! XD

Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

I have other ideas if you want to hear them!

1. Take away gravity in a confined space.
2. They make it rain, but instead of water, it's actually hardened craft glue
3. Replace somepony's food order with a food that EVERYONE despises. Brussels sprouts. DUN DUN DUN.
4. They cover bars of soap in clear nail varnish and watch people wonder why it won’t lather.
5. Hand out free soda... only it's not soda.... it's ketchup. Though they won't figure out until they taste it... and that takes a while.
6. They caramel apples... but they're just onions made to look like apples. (This could actually be a cute prank Fluttershy pulls on Discord at the end to show her affection. Read that it was a good prank for couples that cook for each other.
7. They make Brown E's. Get it?
8. They make a Whodunnit, where one of the Discord's is a background pony's dead body and all of a sudden they create a "Whodunnit?" Only no one did anything.
9. They do a prank involving a fake snake that "ravages" the town.
10. Make the whole town scared of a butterfly a la the SpongeBob episode that did the same thing.
11. make it whenever someone steps on a certain area, music suddenly blares from it.
12. Have them send Twilight on a scavenger hunt to find the last pages of the book she was reading that they stole.

I'm sure I can think of more.

Well, I’ve definitely got a few ideas from that. Seriously, thank you! Though now I’m going to spend awhile writing down the ideas that I got from these. Hopefully I’ll be able to write them properly!

I’ll most likely be altering them a little bit though, as certain things don’t seem like something Fluttershy would do (Discord most definitely, but probably not Flutters). Though the Brussels sprouts, I’m definitely keeping that one in mind. I really hope I can get it written well (sometimes things just turn out to be harder then expected, but I hope that doesn’t happen).

Anyway, thank you again for the ideas!
Sincerely, Guardian Blade the positive analyzer.

9063006
Well, if you ever want any help. I'm here if you need me.

Nice to see this story come back! I really love the idea behind this.

9740456
Thank you! I’m glad to be back. And yeah, the idea for this story was something I love as well. . . Now if only I was able to do such an idea justice. Xb

9740471
Thank you! Seriously, comments really do mean a lot. And that story title sounds interesting, I’ll try and remember to check it out (I currently have around 15 different FIMfiction I’m reading XD).

Spelling. You need an editor, and perhaps better proof reading.

9746639
Heh heh, yeah my spelling isn’t great. Xb
I’d feel bad asking anyone to be an editor though, as I usually take a really long time to get a new chapter finished. Though I did write this chapter a long time ago, so I’ll try and remember to fix it up when I can (probably will still miss most of my mistakes to be honest XD).

Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Sincerely, Guardian Blade.

I love this story !!! it is pretty cute and wonderful!!!
The development between fluttercord is so nice!
PLEASE give me more!!!

9821387
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much I needed to hear that.
I’m not sure if you’ve herd this before, but comments are like an authors food, they give us the energy needed to keep writing. So I guess you could say I was “starving” before you showed up. :twilightsmile:

I’ll try to start writing the next chapter soon, but it’ll be quite awhile before it’s ready.

Once again, thank you so much for the wonderful comment and taking the time to write it!

Sincerely, Guardian Blade.

9821693

I am so glad to know that you will write the next soon!! I can't wait to read it!!!!
At last, may you happy every day!

9822840
Do you perhaps post pictures of your paintings anywhere? I would love to take a look if I can (I do all my work on mobile, so some sights don’t work as well).

I actually got an hour and a half of writing in despite being a bit busy, and got about 200 words written. . . I think I’ve actually gotten a bit faster at writing! :yay:
(yeah it’s going to take awhile to finish) :twilightblush:

9823803
I always post them in Tumblr:https://www.tumblr.com/blog/sadistjolt
I am so glad that you will be interesting in my art!
And i am happy to hear that you are writing!!! I must say your essay makes me happy!!
Take it easy! I believe your article is beautiful!!

9823942
The link wanted me to sign in, but I looked up your user name on google and managed to find some of your art, and I must say it’s quite lovely and cute!:rainbowkiss:
I also found you on deviantart (I actually have an account there XD), wonderful work on your Fluttercord pictures there as well!

Aside from the grammar and spelling mistakes, I am very invested with this concept!
The flow of conversation between Discord and Fluttershy was very good-- you've captured their personalities well!
I can't wait to see what happens!!! XD

(Also I just listened to the Discordians! It's so catchy!!)

Ooooooo!! I really really like where this is headed!
Fluttershy casting spells?! Yes PLEASE!! Discord training her? Even better!!

"And with that she stepped into a side ally, rounded another corner, checked the sky to make sure no Pegasi were around, and disappeared in a small flash of yellow light with a tap of her hoof."

Amazing!!!!🤩

Your writing comes across so well despite the spelling mistakes! You're very good at telling a story! I'm not getting lost with the plot at all. All you need is someone to review and give you a spellcheck before you release a chapter. Like seriously, I love your writing style!!! I would very happily read a book you've written!
