Guys, my internet is being retarded. I gotta sign off for a bit.

Do you think Pinkie Statues could be like that?

Nah pinkie statues would only move when you were looking a them, if left alone they freeze and are unable to party.
Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool. My random thoughts

I'm pretty sure the Pinkie statues would party whether you're looking at them or not.

As adorable as that is, Discord doesn't strike me as something that was ever young, but rather something that simply is. A Universal Constant, so to speak. Even more so than one of those As Long as There Is Evil type entities. So long as there is reality, there will be chaos.

But eh, that's headcanon for ya.

[up]That makes sense. Another theory, however, is that he was created very early on in the Universe's life, in the form he takes now.

As cutesy as I find the fanon theory that Celestia and Discord are ex's, I seemply can't imagine a period in Discord's like where he was ever 'good'.

[up]My own headdcanon is that he has no real body of his own, so he made himself one using parts of various creatures of the world.

Well he can change his shape, so he probably just has a preferred sahpe constructed out of mixed up creatures for the lulz.

Concentrated Swag.

[up][up]I like that, that sounds a lot like an ancient myth.

You know as much as the episode implies that Discord is a true god figure and a primordial force of nature, he never really comes across as more then a demented Mister Mxyzptlk to me.

Why would you wear sunglasses at night? Is she planning to kidnap some faeries?

Hey, does anyone think that there are other Draconi? Minor Discords?

To use 40k as an example...if Discord is a greater demon (indeed, the greater demon)...could there be weaker 'lesser demon' Dranconi?

It really is the difference between being omniscient and omnipotent. Discord is the latter, not the former. Combine that with a tendency to play with his victims, and he pretty much sets himself up to be defeated. I doubt he really cares that much, though. He's immortal, after all, and will get another go at it sometime. It's just a silly game to him.

[up][up]Kind of makes any victory against seem really hollow.

[up][up][up]I think he may actually be unique despite his species name. Kind of like varies monsters in Greek mythology.

I don't think I'd say he's omnipotent, at least not in the classical sense. There's definitely a limit to his abilities. He's really really powerful; likely the most powerful in the setting, but I don't think he even comes close to omnipotence.

Cherilee's description implies he is part of a species, but it doesn't make sense if he is. OF course you know what he says about making sense.

I'm guessing that since he's basically a mythological figure, they probably treat it as a species even though he's the only one. Sort of like how we treat pegasi as a species despite the fact that in Greek mythology he was a unique case.

I like to think of him as an Elder God that manifests aspects of himself on lower planes every once in a while for giggles.

Big Mac and Applebloom are easy enough to explain, but Granny Smith?

Did she go back in time and become their grandmother?

Well, the Draconequess could be an in-universe mythological creature, whose appearance is based off the real Discord.

Wow, Fluttershy's house is dang close to the Everfree. I guess I knew that, but still, her chicken coop is literally right against it.
