And all your friends will be there with smiles on their faces.
Some grow upset as they age and the world no longer makes sense to them.
For some, it's the opposite.

This story was largely inspired by John Brunner's Traveller in Black. Thanks to Anon Y Mous, wherever you may be, for the awesome art on my story. Please come back and say hi sometime.
Also, repunit!
Oh, this is incredible. Discord represents a wide variety of different entities across a vast swath of potential scales. Seeing the contrast between past and present isn't just striking, it speaks volumes of whatever diminution awaits him in the future. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for it.

That's a really good point. It also ties into G5, where both the ponies and Discord seem further diminished in magic as the world becomes more modern.
Reminds me a lot of Middle Earth, where every age sees less might and grandeur (for both good and evil) than the one before.
