Okay, so this is new. I'm talking about the most recent episode as I was able to gather my thoughts on it rather quickly after I finished.
To be honest, I was never a big fan of Discord even back in season 2. Sure, he was a much more dangerous antagonist than Nightmare Moon, but he wasn't intimidating enough to be threatening. His humor, while very funny, didn't really enhance his villainy (like say Kefka or Terumi), and he really didn't leave much of an impact on me.
I once saw a film called Repossessed! (Dir: Bob Nolan; USA 1990) Repossessed! was this horrible excuse for a comedy about an adult who gets repossessed by demons and must be fought by an ex-Exorcist. None of the subject matter in the latter film was intended to be (or is) funny, but I point the finger at the really tacky stitching and abuse of various figures from the time frame in which the film came out - ESPECIALLY THE POPE, OF ALL THINGS - He was (and still is) too
So I'm watching What About Discord
Fucking goober xD hehehe, I love that goober.
Also, does anyone know someone who I can ask to make me an avatar? While I absolutely adore my Rainbow Dash screenshot, I desperately wish I had something more... custom, I suppose in regards to either her, or an OC of mine.
So... anyone know who I can con an avatar out of?
While I found the lesson a good one, this episode angered me more than it touched me. I guess the best way to describe what I’m feeling is in a thought for thought analysis.
I know how late I am, but I've been working all weekend, and I've gotten home at ten and eleven, to late IMO to post an episode synopsis so I'm just now able to do it...
Yeah, I could have done it before work but... I have no excuse.
In my defense, I've also had to wait all this time and it wasn't easy, I like Discord.
Anyway, it starts with Twilight deciding to re-organize the books because Twilight.
Edit: This somehow got double posted. Sorry about that! This is the final version.
Disclaimer: It is not actually all about Discord.
Even though most people have probably already seen this one I'm going to put up a spoiler alert anyway.
**SPOILERS**
If you've seen the episode and are interested in my words then read after the break, otherwise just move along or come back later.
I didn't even bother rewatching Scare Master because I've seen it twice now and it just does nothing for me. As for today's ep, it may be the lowest-stakes episode in the show's entire run, and yet it wasn't that bad. Maybe a tad forgettable.
Rating: Okay
I thought it was an okay episode, but I was disappointed by the lack of troublemaking on Discord's part. Still not used to his being all 'buddy-buddy' with the Mane Six. This is probably the only Discord episode I've seen that I wouldn't watch again.
What About Discord? What about him, indeed? Fittingly for a god of chaos, Discord stirs mixed feelings in me. This episode does not: I'm rather secure in stating my feelings about it.
Another Discord episode, cool. KP outta be over the moon about that
NO TIME TO TALK! The last few weeks have been intensely busy, as I have officially gotten my first freelance client, and put in my notice at work, I leave in December. Not only that but I’ve been working hard on the outline for Of The Night and the actual body of the comedy story that will be a fun side project. And I’ve been streaming more to try to build a fanbase (my current record for viewers is upwards of four at one time! None of whom were logged in or chatting, but still!) The point is,
Just posted a new story, a sequel to "Friendship is Empathy." Where that story dealt with the episode "The Mysterious Mare Do Well," this one addresses "What About Discord?" in light of the talk Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash had in FiE.
Please read and review!
So I finally stumbled across a YouTube upload of Saturday's episode (at least I think it was Saturday's. I still haven't seen the Nightmare Night one, so I'm a little mixed up). I love it. I love it so much that I'm blogging about it immediately after watching it at 5 in the morning (don't judge). But not quite enough to take screencaps.

Frenemies Talk, Chapter XXI: What About Discord
Yes, what about Discord? Well, he is an incredible creature, made out of particles of sheer Chaos, taking a form we call "draconequus", a large abomination of Chaotic Neutral alignment, AC of at least 25, although it seems modifiable via his supernatural ability called—
Ehm, pardon me, my Dungeons & Dragons experience is showing.
So, I kept hearing about the What About Discord? episode this past week. Mostly it was from various forums and the general consensus seemed to be that it was a middling to bad episode. So of course I had to watch it. I mean what sort of person who writes about random stuff would I be if I didn't watch it? It's a Discord episode also, I mean it couldn't be that bad right?
Spoilers in your shoes. So funny. Much laughs.
No, seriously. Not that funny an episode. This is because, like Twilight, we're left out of the loop.
