So Discord is Celestia's special guest for the next Grand Galloping Gala?
Pink Sugar Heart Attack!
@Pykrete: Yeah. I kind of imagine that after >1000 years, Celestia has reached the point at which she takes the serious stuff (anything that genuinely endangers her subjcts) *very* seriously, and basically gives zero fucks about anything else (wrecking the Gala, messing with aristocrats). After "I had to put my only family member into solitary confinement for a millenium", I'd guess "my protege's friends destroyed an X-thousand-bit statue" doesn't seem like that big a deal. So I could totally see her turning Discord loose on Canterlot society when she gets bored or needs a laugh.

I'm putting off getting groceries. There's a big snowstorm coming in, and the market's going to be insane. Plus, I can only walk short distances, so I'll need to use a riding cart.
Pronounced "Sid-zellia"
My idea was something along those lines. My theory is she will use him to deal out ironic and fitting punishments for the really
Jerk Ass who won't except any lessons in kindness no mater what they try. So she'll summon them to her presence, put them in a room with Discord, and do what's required to break down their prejudices and bad behavior. Wow, this is sounding a lot more like Room 101 than I thought. Still, it would be a very good use for him as long as he doesn't go too far.

I still find those Source models weird.
I used to, but either they're growing on me or they're getting better.
While I'm sure she has major reason for wanting him. I also could see her using him like that once she was sure he was safe and wouldn't take it to far. Kind of, "You've done good, but I know you crave a little more chaos now and then. So see those ponies? Long as they stay alive and in one piece, have fun."
Well, just completed my registration for Bronycon, yay.
The Gravy Boat: Her most famous role!
Her most famous role is Zecora, the one she doesn't even play.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
Hopefully nothing screws this up.
Oh, I thought they were taking one of those uber-long breaks again.
I can't attempt to point you in her direction.
I didn't see her walking out of the door.
