ManaMinori 4,145 March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 Rather than bringing in a brand new character that is also an option Twilight clone, should the writers have made Discord Twilight's student instead? Thinking about it, he's still inexperienced, his only friend is Fluttershy, so he could do to make more friends, as well as give Twilight a challenge up against his chaos magic. 2 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't really want that gone. It wouldn't feel as natural as fluttershy and discord imo. Tbh I would rather have starlight learning herself and not having twilight be her teacher. It just doesn't feel very natural imo to have Twilight be starlight's teacher as it was with Discord and fluttershy. It feels like Twilight's teacher role is an unnecessary role. I would rather have twilight stick to a developing character rather than act as a teacher. And have Starlight learn on her own, kind of like Celestia did with Twilight Edited March 12, 2017 by Firedog 1 Pony NEWS YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat-kun 2,527 March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 Discord is a needy deus ex geezer so I don't think this would work all that well. However, the question does make one think. What kind of a student would work best for IP development? What kind of a student would work best as a close associate of Mane 6? What kind of a student would not waste potential of existing characters? Do we really need such a character? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,705 March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 I think Flutters already has this covered, but we need actual episodes revolving around the concept of her telling Discord to cool it. Having episodes where she does put him in his place, and this way, she can teach him that doing completely random things for the hell of it might not be the best idea. Would help fix his character a bit more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hierok 11,832 March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 Well, I don't think it is going to work out since Discord does only things his way and wouldn't listen to Twilight. If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example.

Violet_S 785 March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 That's actually not a bad idea but seeing how he gets on Twilight's nerves almost all the time he spends with her ...it would make things... interesting between their teacher-student relationship 3 Let the rainbow remind you, that together we will always shine~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choros Isorropai 409 March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 not sure if others have had this thought... fluttershy + discord Twilight + Starlight Dash + Scoot Rarity + Sweetie Jack + Bloom and (technicaly) Pie + Cake twins, sorta... is there an intentional "partnering" of mentor/student? or am i just reading into it too far... also I do think discord would be better with fluttershy as her timid nature will teach discord to be observant of his actions, mellowing his general attitude. Twi would just urge on his chaotic side... not intentionally. 1 OC: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/choros-isorropai-r9669 Blog: https://mlpforums.com/blog/3158-poetry-simply-that/ The unasked questions are what bother me, not the answers. The answers give me clarity. Silence is in its self an answer, so ask! To not ask is to deny the existence of said question, and leaves you with just "what if".

His entire reformation was because he wanted friends. But he still has one friend. Meanwhile, Starlight Gutter, who was introduced far later, already has at least 4- Spike, Sunburst, Trixie, and Twilight. (I highly doubt Discord is her friend) 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarShadow 397 March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 Probably not. Twilight and Co. are still not a 100% trusting of discord and certainly don't enjoy spending time with him for long periods of time. Fluttershy was the only one to ever give him the benefit of the doubt a give him a true chance on equal ground so i personally think Discord was better off with Fluttershy. They get along well and Fluttershy has always shown him respect and kindness and i think that in turn rubbed off on Discord. Friendship was indeed important for Discord to learn but he also needed to learn how to be kind and respectful and that was not something he could really learn from the other ponies since they couldn't stand to be around him and always where very passive aggressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 I'd rather see more of him learning friendship lessons from Fluttershy, because given the last two seasons, she really needs the screen time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanhades70 14 November 29, 2017 Share November 29, 2017 (edited) Never would happen. The voice actor would never agree to being a permanent part of the cast. He has never even watched the show. Edited November 29, 2017 by titanhades70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill 1,287 November 30, 2017 Share November 30, 2017 I can only tolerate Discord in small doses, so I'm going to say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaneki 1,073 November 30, 2017 Share November 30, 2017 Not really. I always took Discord as a guy who does things his way, kinda stubborn. Though if it did happen, it would be hard, but maybe possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Sponge 1,017 November 30, 2017 Share November 30, 2017 Discord and Twilight would work good for a single episode because that's just how Discord is best used. Starlight works better as a long time student because she's not just inherently evil, she's been abused by her friends and parents and as a result did bad things, now she needs to learn how to trust people and how to make friends without fear of being left behind.

cuteycindyhoney 13,308 November 30, 2017 Share November 30, 2017 It's already been clearly established that Discord can mess with Twilight's mind far too easily. He would not be a good student under her tutelage. Twilight would end up needing to take a rest after dealing with his playful shenanigans. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

dead account 2,711 May 25, 2022 Share May 25, 2022 As her student, he would have had more screentime. And a character like him would be very annoying to always have around. I love him, fantastic character, but even I can't imagine that's a good idea when he shows up as much as Starlight does in the show. I think they handled him nicely. He appears sometimes, it's very entertaining and fun with him and that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
