How would you convince Discord to turn you into a pony?

[pnylvr 185]

Imagine this. You've made it to Equestria through some portal that leaves you human. You find Discord and ask him to turn you into a pony. He folds his "arms", turns his head away, and asks, "Why should I?"

What do you say in response?

 

Personally, I'd let him transform me into whatever he wanted for a set period of time, after which he'd have to turn me into a pony. I think he'd go for that.

You can play any games you want with me as long as you turn me into a pony

[silvadel 1,393]

Heh, you ask TWILIGHT if you want to be turned into a pony.  You only ask Discord if you want to be turned into something the ponies would refuse to turn you into like a draconequus, alicorn, or dragon.

"Just imagine how much chaos would be caused by a human being turned into a pony!".

Heh, you ask TWILIGHT if you want to be turned into a pony. 

 

Could she do that? I can't think of any transformation spells she's done since becoming an alicorn, and considering how hard it was for her to turn an apple into an orange in "Too Many Pinkie Pies" or cast an age spell in "Magic Duel", I'm not sure she'd be up to the job. Something tells me turning a human into a pony is much harder than either of those. 

 

You only ask Discord if you want to be turned into...a draconequus

That's an easy one.

"Think about how much chaos TWO of us could cause!"

[Frozen Glow 69]

"It isn't easy being breezy" ring a bell?

[weesh 690]

"imagine the chaos when you turn me back!"

[pnylvr 185]

 

 

"It isn't easy being breezy" ring a bell?

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten about that. Note the part at the end with her refusing to transform RD again, though. I still say it would be easier to convince Discord than Twilight. 

[Frozen Glow 69]

Overall I do agree with you.

[silvadel 1,393]

Discord is the one I would be more likely to try to avoid for the sole reason that he is the one able to open up portals and send you to sock puppet land.

[Celtore 2,769]

"Since when does CHAOS need motivation? My dear Discord, you have grown soft these past few years. Celestia must have some real dirt on you if you'd pass up such an open ended, exploitable request like that, huh?..."

 

And then we'd either become best friends or I'd have my wish, but glow neon. Its a gambit, but I guess it all depends on the delivery.

I'll cook up a tasty meal for Discord to be turned into a pony, or more likely, my own O.C

[FluffyGoat13 375]

To be honest I would prefer to ask him to turn me into a Draconequus or something along those lines by saying "Imagine how much chaos would be caused by two Draconequii!!"

 

But to get him to turn me into a pony? Tell him how much confusion would be caused by a pony that was once human, particularly when they start spouting humanisms like "would you give me a hand?".

[Mingan Muon 16]

Two other posters mentioned the chaos that would be caused by two draconequuses (draconequi?). I'd talk with Discord along the same lines. Two Discords could drive Celestia mad, totally ruin any opposition, and create so much chaos. Discord still leans toward chaos when he has a chance, as seen by the S4 finale, so I am sure he can be convinced. While his friendship with the Mane 6 might be in danger because of this Two Discord Proposal, Discord could claim that I, the second Discord, did all the chaos work, and possibly maintain the friendship. Although, Twilight would be wondering where the second Discord came from in the first place...

 

After the chaos, Discord could secretly change me into a pony, no one would know that I was the Second Discord, and I could live out life happily.

 

Chaos is wonderful.

"Yeah what was I thinking by asking you? Maybe I should ask someone who is a lot better with magic to do this hard hard job.."

Classic persuasion tricks. Nice.

[DeadAccount 4,603]

Eeeyup Discord still has his pride that can be used to trick him :-P

[FancyHorse 1,208]

By asking very very nicely :3

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,201]

I would tell him that I would have Fluttershy hug him a lot in one day. That would be the sure-fire way. XD

[Monsoon 1,648]

I wouldn't XD I would say "I was being sarcastic anyway" but in all seriousness even if he offered it to me with no strings attached I would still decline just because I'll be more unique in every way possible XD however I would give it a trial run or he would just troll me and convert me anyway hmm it would probably be for the best if I avoided him

[Justin_Case001 4,855]

I wouldn't.  I would ask him to turn me into a draconequus.  Duh.  Then I could turn myself into anything I want at any time.  Hopefully something about my humanity would pique his interest and intrigue him, and he'd decide to turn me into one of his own kind to learn more a la Hide & Q.

[cmarston1 5,951]

I wouldn't.

Why do that when you could turn into something awesome like a Dragon or something.

[firephantom 30]

I do know Discord has a soft spot, and can understand wanting things that you've never been able to achieve. Discord with friendship, and I with turning into a pony. I'd ask nicely, and I'd basically just pour out my dream to him. Hopefully he would then soften at this and transform me.

Pre-friend Discord...

"Oh my God! No, don't even think it! You can't turn me into a pony! There's no way I'd let you do that to me!"

 

Post-friend Discord...

"Fluttershy? Could you please ask Discord to turn me into a pony? I'd be very happy if you did that for me. Oh, would you like me to pour the tea?"

[Terra woodsland 26]

I would use reverse psychology on him. Something similar to how Aladdin tricked genie.

(ex:"you're right there is no reason you should... or is it that you are not capable of such a feat?")
