Funny / Old Mare Luna

• Discord introducing himself to Morning March, showing that 500 years have not changed him that much.
• Some of the banter between Luna and Discord is worthy of giggle too, for example:
  Discord: Good thing I've got a plan for this.
  Luna: I trust this plan doesn't involve any violence.
  Settler: That honestly depends if using that sleigh Thorax provided us to smash through Chrysalis' arena and bust Flurry Heart and Settler out through the hole we made counts as 'violence'.

• The fact that Discord, of all people, took up marriage counselling by the time of this story.
• A meta one. According to Word of God, the sentence within the first chapter, "All anypony knows is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since", there was a typo that said "shits" instead of "shots", with him explaining how such Toilet Humor could easily kill the serious tone the story was going for. Even funnier knowing the later chapters have a Mood Whiplash problem.
• When the lava demons were beating Luna up, Discord manages to save her by throwing a tub of water over them, with him panting and quickly collapsing to the ground, but not before telling them they need a bath.
• When Praiseworth was telling Discord off for drunkenly giving Setter and Flurry Heart the idea to go after Chrysalis, he attempts to justify himself by saying he was merely the "yes-man".
• While what happens afterwards is not funny, there is this exchange between Discord and King Sombra:
  Discord: Being a former villain myself, I know how this works. You monologue for a bit, the heroes show up to stop you, then they go out for some shawarma.
  Sombra: Do you really think your friends could possibly beat me?! I am Sombra! I am invincible! All beings shall soon bow before me! Ahahahahaha!
  Discord: I'm no psychoanalyst but I believe your biggest weakness is your overconfidence.
  Sombra: Your faith in your friends is yours, Discord!
  Discord: Not really. They have beaten you before and they can beat you again.
  Sombra: Actually, it's that Princess Cadence and Shining Armor that have defeated me the first time, which is why I'm having my forces capture them as soon as they retake the empire so I can have the pleasure of executing them myself. And their little alicorn filly too.
• Another meta one in the comment section where a user named Assy Assman says Luna needs a beard, to which DmitriTheWriter (the story's editor) says she already has one while Leondude himself trying to correct them by saying female ponies can't grow beards, which leads to this:
  DmitriTheWriter: But she already has a beard. What do you think that waving sheet of stars flowing from the back of her head is?
  Leondude: Uh...Dmitri? That's her mane.
  DmitriTheWriter: No, it's her beard. When Luna was banished to the Moon a thousand years ago, she singlehandedly took down the Moon Mafia, in the process becoming so manly that she spontaneously grew a huge wavy beard. Then she cut if off and glued it to the back of her head. Come on, everyone knows this.
  Leondude: What an interesting headcanon.
  • Given how all three of them are members of The (Not So) Cynical Creators Guild, a group filled with cloudcuckoolanders, such a conversation was inevitable.
  • More hilarity between the author and his editor is when Leondude calls Dmitri out for missing the biweekly deadlines in the author's notes.
• When Discord tries to teleport him and Luna to Chrysalis' arena, they instead wind up in the middle of the Forbidden Jungle, where this happens:
  Discord:Well, it can't get any worse.
  [a mix between the Pony of Shadows and an Ursa Major appears]
  Discord: I stand corrected.
  Luna: Run!
• Discord doing an impression of Tracer when he, Luna and a group of changelings arrive to save Settler and Flurry Heart.
• Luna's son, Gail, wanting to play a DOOM Expy called MOON. He tells Morning March that he thinks Luna might like it since it's about a pony on the moon battling Nightmare Forces, with Morning March saying that Luna would probably prefer to negotiate with Nightmare Forces rather than "frag" them.
• Gibbet asking Discord "why the long face" is funny for two reasons. One is the Incredibly Lame Pun, the other is that Discord was shook up from nearly getting killed by a corrupted Flurry Heart earlier.
• Gibbet inspecting Discord's backpack, only to quickly turn away because it smelled like mouldy salami.
• While Grogar is more frightening than ever, he still has his comically serious moments.

  Discord: Well, I hate to break it to you, Grogar, but we don't do evil bad guy stuff anymore. Lulu over here has taken up rock farming while I have been helping ponies with their marriage problems. While neither of those are as fun as causing a bit of chaos, but as far as I'm concerned, my brand of chaos is much more fun when I have somepony to share it with.
  Grogar: You're joking.
  Discord: Does a pony that correctly guessed my original plan for a tea party that involved green tea that turns you green, ginseng tea that actually sings and stairs that go nowhere sound like I'm joking to you? How many ponies do you know that knows you so well that they anticipate whatever chaos you might bring to the table?
  Grogar: If a pony can predict what you're going to do, then you are a poor lord of chaos.

• Discord singing his own version of the Laughter Song to cheer Luna and Settler up after they all got locked away by Grogar, much to their annoyance.
• When the ponies that rescued Luna, Discord and Settler turn out to be the Dazzlings, Settler decides to take the time to comment on their attractive looks, which results in Adagio kicking him square in the nuts.
  Settler: Do you think I deserved that, Discord?
  Discord: That honestly depends on the context.
  Settler: In this context?
  Discord: Maybe.
• The reason why the Dazzings are ponies? Sonata ran into the entrance back into Equestria by accident while chasing a squirrel, which results in the other two Dazzlings chasing after her for her own safety. They also have difficulty controlling their new pony bodies as well, which catches the attention of Grogar.
• When Grogar found out that the Dazzlings lost their ability to sing, he considered killing them for not being useful to him, before deciding to teleport them to Ponyville since killing them would not make a difference and would be a waste of his magic.
• Sunburst trying to pull a "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight on a mind-controlled Starlight, much to Sombra's amusement. Turns out it was a distraction so he could charge up the spell needed to break Starlight out of Sombra's control.
• Sunburst confusing his belly button in his human form with the scar Sombra left on him.
• Settler and Skystar gushing over Flurry Heart, who had turned back into an infant filly.
