My theory on the mysterious merchant of the displaced stories · 7:16pm March 18th
the merchant seen at the beginning of the animated "Aladdin" was Genie in disguise. So if a Genie, an elemental spirit with phenomenal cosmic powers doomed to live in an Itty bitty living space can disguise themselves as a humble merchant, what's preventing a spirit of chaostrapped in stone from manifesting in another reality and bringing random bronies to Equestria sometimes to help other times to stir things up. Whatever the wayward Q or Lord of Chaos gets something to do while being a bird perch/bathroom (Birds are not the cleanest of critters).
Let me know what you think.
Nice to see you're still around.
Thanks.
Doesn't sound like it'd be his cup of tea. He's the spirit of chaos, he enjoys creating chaos and not watching someone else doing it for him, but of course you could AU this a bit and say Discord escaped to the human world and he can't get back to Equestria untill he generates enough chaos magic by turning humans into their costumes and sends them to Equestria and that the chaos the Displaced do will fuel Discord untill he has enough chaos magic to return to his Equestria.

I mentioned he was trapped in stone In my theory. He could become the merchant during the Melania Lulu & Tia trapped him.in stone. And/or the short time he was stone by mane 6. Also I see him doing it if he's bored.

That's what I meant. A piece of himself managed to escape but the rest of himself is trapped in the stone prison, hence why part of him escapes into the human world. Sorry, I've got autism and I often misexplain things.
