Diamond and Dazzle

Diamond and Dazzle is a comedic slice-of-life comic series by MagerBlutooth. It follows the misadventures of Diamond Tiara and her pet kitten Dazzle. Many installments in the series are single-panel one-shots, but several—including the comic's first installment—are full-length comic strips.

Strips
Masterful Diamond
 * The first strip in the series. Diamond Tiara makes a tower of bits and calls her father over to come and see. Dazzle hops onto the desk, and Diamond thinks he's going to knock the tower over. He nuzzles Diamond's face and tickles her nose with his tail. Diamond sneezes and flies backward onto her bed. When Filthy Rich comes over, he thinks Dazzle was the one who made the tower of bits. An angered Diamond Tiara knocks the tower over herself.

Imp
 * Diamond Tiara has a one-sided conversation with the telephone, telling it that she's expecting an important phone call. Dazzle enters, but Diamond tells him she's busy. When Diamond momentarily leaves the room, Dazzle unplugs the phone line. When Diamond returns, the phone suddenly rings, to Diamond's delight and Dazzle's confusion. Diamond answers and, after a short conversation, hangs up. She goes to tell her parents that the ponies from Phone Owners called and want her to be on their show. Dazzle prepares to smash the phone, but it rings again. He answers, and a demonic voice on the other end tells him to leave a message for Diamond.

Sweets
 * Diamond is about to partake of a chocolate cake when Dazzle enters. Dazzle wants a piece, but Diamond keeps the whole cake for herself. Dazzle briefly leaves and returns wearing a cute dress and holding a sign that reads "Please?" Defeated, Diamond gives Dazzle the whole cake.

Fear
 * Diamond is unable to sleep due to a terrifying thunderstorm. The impish Dazzle wants to take a photo of her fright, but his conscience (manifesting as a small light-blue cat with wings) tries to dissuade him. When Dazzle ignores, his conscience jabs him with a pitchfork, and he zooms onto Diamond's head. Diamond, thinking Dazzle is also scared of the storm, allows him to sleep with her. Dazzle gives up and whisks off to sleep next to his owner.

Love
 * Diamond wakes Dazzle up from a catnap and holds him close. Dazzle, annoyed by the over-affection, pushes Diamond away. Diamond feigns sorrow at Dazzle's coldness and fakes a heart attack. An alarmed Dazzle is about to inject her with adrenaline, but Diamond assures him she's fine. Relieved, Dazzle hugs her and purrs (a sound Diamond never heard him make before).

Vet
 * Diamond takes Dazzle to the veterinarian Mane Goodall. Noticing Dazzle's tension and eye dilation, Goodall asks Diamond if he's been feeling any anxiety or distress and getting enough sleep. When the conversation shifts to Dazzle's diet, Goodall asks if he's been cutting down on the sugar. While Goodall's back is turned, Diamond and Dazzle try to sneak candy from a jar; Goodall catches them and says it's sugar-free. She tells Dazzle to eat more healthily for his follow-up exam the following week. When Diamond asks if that only applies to him, Goodall sees her off with a carrot.

Restaurant
 * Diamond, Dazzle, and Filthy Rich eat out at a fancy restaurant. Just before Dazzle uncouthly digs into his meal, Diamond "ahem"'s, prompting Dazzle to employ proper table manners. Filthy is impressed by his etiquette, and Diamond says she rubbed off on him. The waiter asks Filthy if he needs anything else; as he watches Diamond and Dazzle eat soup in the same manner, he asks the waiter to bring him a camera.

Vacation
 * Diamond and Dazzle wake up Filthy Rich and help him get ready for their family vacation. After a swift breakfast, the three go out and share in various fun activities like the beach, miniature golf, face painting, the aquarium, and the arcade. After a full day of fun, Filthy tucks Diamond and Dazzle into bed. Just before he leaves the room, Dazzle gives him a rolled-up piece of paper. It's a drawing of Diamond, Dazzle, and Filthy together, and it reads "LET'S DO THIS AGAIN, DAD - Diamond Tiara & Dazzle".

Privacy
 * In Diamond's bedroom, Diamond uses her computer and Dazzle writes in a book. Filthy Rich calls from the next room and reminds him to put away the dishes. As Dazzle leaves the room, Diamond sees Dazzle's diary on the page and goes snooping. Dazzle returns, and Diamond expresses her displeasure that he hasn't written anything in his diary about her. Annoyed, Dazzle goes to Diamond's toy chest and fishes out a giant book labeled "Living with a Princess". However, the book is locked and Dazzle has the key. Diamond chases Dazzle through Ponyville as ponies look on in confusion.

Conflict
 * In the series' first ongoing storyline, Diamond serves Dazzle his late-night snack, giving him a choice between cat food and ice cream. When Dazzle picks the ice cream, Diamond scolds him, saying he's supposed to eat less sugar and is going to get her in trouble. When Dazzle ignores her, Diamond suddenly cries out, "You're a cat!" The commotion catches Filthy Rich's attention; he sees Diamond upside-down in the trash can and a feral-looking Dazzle chowing down on ice cream. When Diamond emerges from the trash can (with a scratch on her cheek), she takes Dazzle's collar and denounces him as her pet. She walks out of the kitchen, leaving Dazzle heartbroken.


 * In her bedroom, Diamond fumes that Dazzle isn't her perfect kitty all the time, stating that he was on the day she got him.

Glimpse (Part 1)
 * In a flashback to Diamond Tiara's birthday party several years prior, Diamond pretends to be a unicorn as Filthy gives her a present (Diamond quickly deducing from the air holes that it's a kitten). "Princess" Diamond Tiara "liberates" the kitten from the box and is shocked to discover him acting like a dog.

Glimpse (Part 2)
 * When Diamond asks her father about the kitten's behavior, Filthy explains that he was the only kitten in a shelter full of dogs and has never even tasted cat food. Diamond is displeased by the present but changes her tune somewhat when the kitten gives her a paddle ball.

Glimpse (Part 3)
 * Filthy says he doesn't understand Diamond's dissatisfaction, saying the kitten meets all the criteria for her ideal pet and already likes her. When Diamond asks if she can go to her room, her mother holding the video camera gives her her last birthday present. Diamond unwraps it excitedly but is confused to find a physical diamond tiara, claiming that wearing it will negatively impact her image. At that moment, the video camera's battery dies.

Glimpse (Part 4)
 * Filthy asks why Diamond is so displeased with her pet, and Diamond says that there's nothing special about owning a dog. She says she wanted a kitty that was different from others—a kitty that was one-of-a-kind. When Filthy tells her to at least give him a chance, Diamond does just that: in a game show-like environment, Diamond gives the kitten six seconds to prove he can be her perfect kitty. Dazzle is unsure of what to do and starts chasing his tail, much to Diamond's frustration.

Glimpse (Part 5)
 * Filthy calls the pony he got the kitten from on the telephone and sees about returning him. Diamond overhears this and suddenly doesn't want to get rid of the kitten. She shows her father a storybook about a spoiled girl who throws away every present she's given in the garbage. A witch places a curse on the girl that causes her to shrink in size whenever she acts ungrateful. Eventually she becomes so small that her servants mistake her for a bread crumb and throw her in the garbage. Not wanting to be a copycat, Diamond resolves to make the kitten into her perfect pet.

Resolution
 * Back in present day, Diamond wakes up from a bad dream. She goes out into the hallway and finds a sad-looking Dazzle. Upon noticing Diamond and wanting to make her happy, Dazzle eats the cat food that she wanted him to eat earlier. However, having a distaste for cat food, Dazzle immediately throws up.


 * As the two wash up in the bathroom, Diamond tells Dazzle that when she first got him, she was going to turn him into her perfect kitty. But she realizes now that Dazzle had always been her perfect kitty. Dazzle cries tears of joy and licks Diamond's face, and Filthy watches the heartwarming scene from the bathroom door.

Diamond Tiara
Adapted more or less from how she is depicted in the show, Diamond Tiara is a rich, spoiled Earth pony filly. However, she has occasional moments of genuine kindness, and Dazzle's presence serves to keep her somewhat grounded.

Dazzle
Diamond Tiara's pet kitten. An oddity of a domesticated animal, he shares many traits with canines (having been the only cat in a dog shelter. Mischievous, playful, and often the butt of Diamond's jokes, but deep down he loves her dearly. He is also shown to be very intelligent for a cat, being able to read and write.

Filthy Rich
Diamond Tiara's father and thus far the comic's only recurring character.
