Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
I love your Swap Six AU! World-building question (also because I love him), who reforms Discord in the AU? Sunny Rays is technically the closest thing to our Fluttershy equivalent (at least that’s what I understand from her being the Element of Kindness/Empathy), but Ginger Gold has the ability to communicate with animals like Fluttershy…
*shoves all the worldbuilding Discord lore in the closet for now, until I can draw it*
Regarding this Discord, I have three different routes planned for his possible redemption partner:
- Ginger Gold: She is SO different than Fluttershy that it might be interesting to see what happens if she is tasked with redeeming Discord because a lot of their relationship would change and be interesting to see the ways they impact each other but I wonder if she would have the emotional skill to reach out to someone who’s that on the side of evil. She’s very headstrong and a real rip roarin’ spitfire and she’s the rough Rainbow Dash equivalent and I don’t think Rainbow Dash could have broken through to him. They’re not the same ponies obviously but similar enough I wonder if I can pull off justifying why they’d click.
- Sunny Rays: It would be the most similar to Fluttershy herself redeeming it because they play similar story roles and therefore have the same element and similar strengths that would play out and make her a good choice to redeem him… but then I wonder if it’s a copout and a bit unfair to treat Sunny Rays as just Fluttershy again. Despite how similar they are and even how similar they are I do see them as two different ponies.
- Roseluck: Her element ‘Element of Inspiration’ could make sense as a way to bring out the best in Discord, they’re two fun characters and I have a small ‘Beauty and the Beast’ kinda vibe in my head. There’s a small part of me that wants to make them into my AU’s Fluttercord. Also cause I think Rosecord/Lucky Chaos are fun ship names.
I guess you guys can reply and tell me your thoughts!!
