My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/WMG/Secondary Characters: Difference between revisions

{{spoiler|Their fighting caused him to break free, or his breaking free caused them to fight, I don't know}} but to "thank" them, he'll [[Plot Relevant Age Up|magically age them up]] and cause them to go [[Brainwashed and Crazy]].

She'll be reluctantly trying something with the others, only to find she actually really enjoys it... but when she realizes she got her mark for it, it causes her to [[Freak Out]] due to not fully understanding that a cutie mark doesn't completely ''define'' who she is, and that ''she's'' the one who gives it meaning.

Not only is he one of the [[The Smart Guy|smartest]] and [[Genius Bruiser|strongest]] ponies in the show, but he managed to pull off a [[Herd Hitting Attack]] when covered by a [[Dog Pile of Doom]]. Am I the only one who thinks he's done [[One-Man Army|this sort of thing]] before? He was probably a [[Badass Labcoat]] - maybe even Equestria's equivalent of [[Half Life|Gordon Freeman]] (after all, they both [[Heroic Mime|barely talk]]) - who decided he was getting too old for this and settled down on the family farm.

It sounds generic, I know, but think about it. It wouldn't make sense for a young filly to be called 'Granny', so it's likely she had a similar sounding name when she was young that became 'Granny' as she grew old. Plus, 'Annie' is a good [[Shout Out]] to the novel Anne of Green Gables, which Granny Smith in her youth resembles with the twin pigtails.

When Celestia and Luna were fillies, and playing with their magic, they accidentally merged many beings into one. The result was a [[Mix and Match Critters|strange-looking]] [[Eldritch Abomination|anamoly in reality]]. The resulting person was driven insane by all that had happened to him. As a result, he wants to create mayhem and suffering, either because [[Blue and Orange Morality|he genuinely believes it's the right thing to do]] or [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|to try to end his pain]].

Like the Weeping Angels of ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', Discord can spontaneously arise from any depiction of him. The original spell that Celestia and Luna cast using the Elements of Harmony over a thousand years ago didn't turn him to stone as such, it suppressed this effect, so that when they destroyed his current incarnation, he stayed dead until the spell wore off at the start of Season 2. The statue of Discord in the Canterlot statue garden was literally just a statue until it became Discord himself. He didn't mess with the stained glass windows in Canterlot Tower - the depiction of him in one of the windows animated and became him, stuck in the windows. Celestia didn't destroy the statue and the windows because no matter how much damage Discord could do if he materialized in Equestria, it would be worse if he materialized [[Enemy Within|inside Celestia's memory]].

There's probably a race out there called "draconequus" ([[Mix and Match Critters]], or perhaps just look like it), but Discord isn't a member. He probably just looks like a draconequus, and the ancient ponies didn't know better; or, he claimed to be a draconequus to obfuscate his true nature as a Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony.
