Worth It (A Chaotic Birthday)
It's Discord's Birthday! Time for a party, gifts, and heartfelt conversations.
I wrote this one a while ago and forgot to post it, lol.
Edit: In terms of both kudos and hits, this is my most popular work by far. While I certainly like it, I don't quite understand why it's so well received?
Edit: The above is no longer true, but it is officially my fourth fic to get 100 kudos! As of 28 January, 2025. 😊
Edit: Now with AI art in its own 'chapter', because my mom made an AMAZING poster for me 🤩 As of the 17th of September, 2026
I think Twilight has a habit of being just a little preachy/summing up situations, so I tried to write her this way. Sorry if Discord's a little OOC -- Out Of Character, for those new to this ;)
Should I do a prequel about Pebbles?

This was very sweet!
Glad you enjoyed!
i bookmarked this a while ago, saw it was updated and got curious. turns out the entire fic is ai slop 👎
The entire fic? Only the art is made by AI, the story was written entirely by me.
And how in the world would me adding some art in a second chapter possibly ruin the fic for you if you already liked it enough to bookmark before??
I love the pace of this! Comedy, romance, deep dives and surface fun. This was a nice day out with friends.
if you weren't already aware, generative ai & helper ais like chatgpt steal from actual artists (the data used to train them use real art posted online without the creators' knowledge or consent), they are terrible for the environment (they use up a lot of water and pollute the air, and towns and wildlife that are near datacenters are suffering because of it), and have been causing a decrease in critical thinking skills and an increase in psychosis in people who use ai. this is just everything off the top of my head, btw, there's more. please, PLEASE refrain from using generative ai as much as possible, for your own sake, ours, and the planet's. picking up a pencil or stylus and drawing, or commissioning a real, human artist, is much more ethical. thanks.
But pencils are so... YELLOW. Yuck 🤢
okay, you were already aware of generative ai's many shortcomings... you just don't care. go tell daddy gpt to vomit out some more slop for you. just don't complain too much if a datacenter is built near your house and you dont have any more clean water to drink because someone keeps generating ai images of godzilla and tung tung sahur making out
outstanding, i keep noticing how you write someone discovering that the readiness they kept waiting for had been available to them for longer than they knew. Haha this is going straight to my head, and it also sparked a thought linked to the fic's direction. DC: cutemayahere (that's my username)
