Besides Fluttershy, who should Discord be paired with more often?

[Megas 28,341]

Since it's apparent that Discord and Fluttershy has become great friends since KCaFO, who would you like to see Discord, to put it simply, be paired with in an episode?

 

Personally, I'm mostly interested in seeing him in an episode with Applejack and/or Rainbow Dash, since I get the feeling that they seem to have the biggest issues with him(though I'm not sure how much the S4 finale affects this, if it affected it)

I feel like Pinkie and Discord have a lot of parallels in their 'chaos and humor' motifs, and that they were only kept apart by distrust from their previous encounters, etc. I think that with a bit of exploration, it would be a really fun and dynamic duo.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Either of the royal sisters. It could provide a lot more backstory to why he took over the land of talking horses, and maybe even a little of the sister's own lineage and history with discord pre-deus ex machina dethroning.

[Anci3ntArtiFact 66]

Twilight, obviously!

 

 

 

Let's do Applejack Pinkie Pie

 

 

The strikeouts are all a lie.

 

 

 

Pinkie and Discord basically have the same personality, considering how much of a joker he is. 

[Passion 3,490]

I approve of predecessor Khajiit speaker's idea.

 

Although if we were to pair him with mane 6, I'd have to go with Twilight. Obviously, he tends to know more about her and her future than Celestia sometimes. Plus, let's face it, I love how he's always making fun out of "Princess Twilight Sparkle". I doubt he'd resign from this lil' piece of fun just like that.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

Celestia of course

 

And also Pinkie has that almost same personality as Discord just as  stated. 

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

I actually don't think Discord should go with any of them. He doesn't look like the kind who would be in to romance. In fact, here's probably the most romantic thing he would do to any of them.

 

Discord: Hey there ladies!

 

Mane Six: Don't even think about it.

[BastementSparkle 20,335]

The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Come on, you know you want to see it. It would be deliciously chaotic.

Already been done. 2nd friends forever comic:

[Pastel 7,630]

Pinkie Pie! They're 2 funny characters of the show, an episode focusing on them would be awesome!!

 

Pinkie Pie is a personal favorite of mine....laughter.

Celestia! 

 

Besides, it would explain why he was able to get under her skin so easily in the Return of Harmony and why she later decided to give him another chance by trying to reform him in Keep Calm and Flutter On as well as the the latest ship tease...it would give some more insight into these characters and their pasts.

[Metemponychosis 1,263]

I think Discord should interact with Maud Pie. As a stone statue.

[Banul 3,831]

I think he would foil nicely with Applejack's down to earth attitude. It could make for some amusing shenanigans.

[DukeofCanterlot 158]

I like the idea of Discord and Pinkie Pie.

I think they are pretty different though in terms of personality... both like chaos and are hilarious but there is an important difference.

Pinkie Pie: Cares about others more than herself and is willing to sacrifice herself for others
Discord: Cares about himself above all else.. and that's why he seems to not be able to make friends.. with Discord, it's all about him.

 

The writers could do a really good episode about Pinkie Pie and Discord bringing havoc to Ponyville.. I could see Dave Polsky writing it.

 

But yea.. they would make a fun, crazy duo.. but please nothing even close to romance like with Discord/Fluttershy.. those two are a better pair romantically.

I really like that idea. Pinkie and Discord would go really well together.

 

Discord seems to be a little annoyed by Pinkie too, even though she's his favorite element. Remember when he tricked Pinkie to chase the balloon, when she wanted to take of him him while he was sick?

[Flutter's lover <3 8,210]

I'd probably have to say Pinkie. 

 

Pinkie because of her randomness, I mean she welcomed the chocolate rain and cotton candy clouds...I can only imagine what would happen if her and Discord starred in an episode together.

I don't think OP means a romantic one, I think they mean who he should "Hang out" with in an episode.

Well in that case yeah Pinkie. They would wreck s*it up and cause chaos everywhere.

[Rocky Doo 39]

I'd say either any of the princesses or Pinkie

You took the words right out of my mouth. I think Pinkie Pie and Discord would make a cute couple.

[Forlong 1,726]

Why is Celestia not on the list?

"Damn it, I freed him because I like-like him.  What does a mare got to do to get some lovin' around here?"

[The Crimson Cross 7,533]

Hmm... Discord and  Princess Luna?

Well in that case...

 

 

[NightGlade13 120]

Besides linking pie I'd have to say Celestia. Mainly for age and size reasons. Lol

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,676]

I'm thinking either Rainbow Dash or Applejack.

 

Rainbow Dash has always shown lack of trust towards Discord and although she seems to have warmed up to him at the finale's end, well... This is Rainbow Dash we're talking about. Maybe she just got caught up in the moment of things. *shrugs*

 

As for AJ, it'd be curious to see how they'd interact. I say curious because not even I can say how that would work XP

Imagination works in ponderous ways. Who knows? Though I do agree with the rainbow dash theory there. Aj however could be a completely different story

[windy_prance 114]

AJ would be the best match. The element of Honesty is a good counter to Discord's half truth trickery.

 

It's also an opportunity to get Applejack gain some character development outside of the farm/family setup she has been stuck in.

 

Get those two lost on an island or something.
