The Naming of Worlds · 4:54am Mar 17th, 2020
I think Discord named these, or some of them anyway.
Terra Fabula -- The Earth of Equestria (which they call Earth when they refer to the planet, and in fact most planets are called Earth.)
Terra Mundi -- A mundane, magicless world. Our world, the human world of Not the Hero, the human world of Ice, and the human world of the thing I am working on right now that I should not be working on because I have too many incompletes already but here we go.
Terra Alterfabula -- The world of Equestria Girls, which is linked to Terra Fabula in some fashion.
Terra Mollia -- The world that Discord was going to toss Tree Hugger into. Mollia is Latin for puppet.
Terra Contrarium -- "opposite earth", the world of Good King Sombra and Captain Goodguy. (Yes, I've decided they exist. No, Celestia did not have a romantic involvement with Good King Sombra; that was a different dimension's Celestia. This one never went to Terra Contrarium. Discord's been there, though. He and Captain Goodguy don't like each other, surprise surprise.)
Terrae Stellaluce: The worlds of Starlight. In my universe, I reconciled the comics' and early episodes "you cannot alter time" with Starlight dramatically altering time by using the alternate timeline theory. Starlight created alternate timelines; once they had been created, splitting the timeline again just created yet another alternate. Technically speaking, the last universe, where Starlight didn't disrupt the Rainboom, was also an alter, but identical alters merge into each other almost immediately.
The Terrae Stellaluce are:
Terra Luna Regina -- Queen Luna World
Terra Metamorphia -- Changeling Earth
Terra Sombra -- Shadowed Earth, also Sombra Earth
Terra Culus -- Asshole Earth. That one's Tirek.
Terra Discordia -- guess
Terra Fratres -- based on the very little information Twilight had about that world, which was that she saw the Flim Flam brothers destroying Sweet Apple Acres, Discord called it Brothers Earth
Terra Heremus -- Wasteland Earth
I am aware that none of this is formed as accurate Latin. They're Latinate words, not true Latin.
If he gave the alternate world in Elements of Opposition a name it's probably Terra Contra, "opposition Earth", which is not quite the same as "opposite Earth", though you can see they are similar.
This one's too hard. I think you'll have to give it to me.
Well, it’s easier to decipher than my naming convention is (which gave us the likes of Equestria Epsilon Decimus).
Heh heh heh, I like it.
Did Last Draconequus Discord ever meet Reflections Celestia or Good King Sombra on his visit? I have to wonder what he would've made of that whole relationship, given his unique perspective on the matter.
I concluded long ago that the comics are a bundle of loosely related parallel timelines. It's the only way to make it all make sense.
Which means they still exist out in probability space. Mind you, that's also how I handle them most of the time, but still, fridge horror.
In any case, always nice to get a map of the local multiverse. Thanks for it.
Interesting... Is this something we've heard about before? Perhaps that Agent Cord thing?
“Terra Culus -- Asshole Earth. That one's Tirek.”
Heh, of course Discord would call Tirek’s earth that.

Huh. No, it's something much more self-indulgent and coming out of nowhere than that, but you've reminded me that I don't have a name for the Dick Cordry universe. That being said... in that universe Discord is not exactly going to be worldwalking again anytime soon, so he may not feel like it needs a name.
I think maybe after this thing I'm doing, the next thing I'll do is one of those pieces from Eating Dessert, either that one or Voyage of the Harmony.
Man, I would love to hear a conversation between Discord and Captain Goodguy.

Same, I just want some Cap content in general. Is there actually any official info on Captain Good guy? Like personality or anything? Does he work for the king or is he a freelance hero? I can't even find a Wiki on the dude, just a few pictures
5222745 I don't know of anything official. I can recommend these stories to you though:
