While doing additional research into Pinkie Pie's genealogy, Twilight Sparkle makes a startling discovery. Written for the Equestria Daily Writers Training Ground #3.

This is a short piece written in under and hour and a half to meet the submission deadline.

An interesting idea that I may revisit, rework and edit what's currently here, and expand on if there's enough interest. What do you think? Any suggestions to improve the story?

Could use some polish, yeah. I might take the last part (when they're walking through town) and reverse the information. Start with the descendant, follow it backwards to the humorless mayor, explain about the villain in hiding, then, as you reveal that they were going to PLACE then, muse about it making sense, then reveal the name.

New headcanon now. :pinkiehappy: Great idea and well written story.

Interesting, and quite possible. You just never know. :rainbowlaugh:

well, screw with genealogy even more and tell that Blueblood is related to Dischord (hence the only reason he is kept within Celestias sight) or something like that. If you screw with genealogy, you gotta screw with it good. Prove that somehow RD is connected to a duck, Fluttershy with Bloomberg the tree and that Spike is actually the unlegitimate half brother of Garble through inbreeding with Crackle of all dragons.

Come on! Show some initiative! Also, you could let Dischord talk with Pinkie about being 'one of his kin', see what happens then.

Can I write sequel?

Thank you all for the comments!

3790639 I completely agree with you MetBoy. I honestly wanted to expand it a bit. That last part was a complete info dump, but I was a bit pressed for time. I only got this into the Writer's Training Ground submission with 15 minutes to spare, so I had to cut it off.

3790738 Thanks! When I thought of it, I thought it made an eerie sort of sense.

3790743 Indeed, you never DO know with Pinkie, do you?

3791051 Have at it! I'd be very interested in seeing other people's take on this idea.

3790826 If I had some time I was planning on expanding on Discord's lineage a tad bit more. After all, there were ponies before Pinkie Pie who were related to Discord, and I figure while most would be completely normal that some inherited traits and power from their Draconequus ancestor. As previously stated, I didn't have the time to flesh this out as much as I wanted to.

Question time! What other characters do you think could be related to Discord?

It all makes sense now :pinkiegasp:

I'd not a physical place like the sun or the moon, so ...

Those pesky typos ...

3791235 I say ....drum roll please *snare drums start the drum roll* TRIXIE , SUNSET SHIMMER

3791587 Confound these typoes! ;)

3794094 I could see Sunset Shimmer working.

i wanna read more!

Well, Screwball could be related...maybe even Braeburn?

3794739 At this point I think I will have to expand, edit, and polish this story considering how positive a response it's been getting. I'm super excited! I didn't expect so many people to be interested in my silly little story. :D

3795897 Screwball is pretty much a given. Blueblood I probably wouldn't have as a Discord descendant.

Revisit, Rework, edit, and expand. This is a good seed.

Since Slendermane is official canon now, why not relate him/her/it to Discord?

And you could let the old draconequus also be the 'reason' for Changelings and thus Chrysalis's ancestor.

3798144 Thanks! I think it's a good idea as well, so when I can I'll be doing just that. I'll be getting some work done on that this weekend in fact.

3801135 I'm not big into Slendermane but that could work. As for Queen Chrysalis I actually have a head-canon for Changelings already that doesn't involve Discord and that I'll be using for another story. Great ideas!

I've got nothing but ideas all day so why not share them? Have fun with your stories :twilightsmile:

Short and sweet. Groovy, man. :pinkiehappy:

Prove that somehow RD is connected to a duck Nah a chicken, just to give scoots a boost.

Shouldn't it be straight PONY, not straight MAN? :P
