Description
Concept work for a now-abandoned comic that was called Flutter OnNow for some random headcanons;
Older Fluttershy is basically the same as her younger, canon counterpart personality-wise. The only differences are that she's slower in her movements, and her wings are no longer able to support her weight for flight.
Butterscotch is Fluttershy's daughter, about the human equivalent of fifteen (Fluttershy had her late). She's shy just like her mom, but she's a little ball of energy comparable to Pinkie Pie when she's around friends and family. She helps out a lot with the animals Fluttershy keeps at her cottage, along with keeping a small garden in a window box outside her bedroom. Her favorite thing in the world is when Uncle Discord comes by for a visit.
Note: Because this keeps popping up; as of right now I'm just saying Butterscotch's dad died.
Older Discord is much more mild mannered and level-headed than his canon counterpart. He's calmed down a lot, still loves a good laugh but it isn't the driving force behind his actions anymore (though he still can't resist pulling pranks every now and then). He's been a constant presence in Fluttershy's life through the years, as a good family friend. Whenever he gets a break from his relatively new place as Equestrian royalty he visits his friends, Fluttershy, Butterscotch, and the other Element bearers, in Ponyville.

For some reason, I see Butterscotch sleeping on gathered up fog beds, rather than flying all the way up to cloud-level to get one.

Or just wait until they get moody like this one did .
But in lieu of stubborn clouds, yes, she would just sleep on fog beds

Aw, this is cute! Also, the first one at the top, with Discord and Fluttershy, reminds me of a certain part in Hellsing......

This is a great idea for a comic, cant wait to read it.
I can just see discord snapping an going back to his old ways when Shy dies of old age though

Guh, this chokes me up a bit. But I suppose any nods to friends or family growing old or passing always gets me a bit. Also, just because I haven't said it anywhere else: I love your visual take on Discord. It's really influenced my own image of him, and honestly I enjoy it even more than the style/shape on the show.

I like the idea of Discord becoming more mature and calmer as the years go by. Very nice idea, can't wait to see more in the future.

Hmm, it seems that Discord keeps getting longer and skinnier with age...
It's interesting, because in fanon, "Butterscotch" is 63ed!Fluttershy's name. I'm curious what you're going to do with the character.

woe unto butterscotch's father if he didn't conveniently die of natural (or unnatural) causes to explain his absence from the family to uncle discord (unless he actually is still together with fluttershy)
hope you don't mind me saying, but personally i'd play around a bit more with butterscotch's colours...maybe use the pink you used for shading for her actual mane. cause right now she looks a bit too similar to fluttershy, in a way that makes me think it is fluttershy with her colours off.
love how discord's being older is kept very subtle through the grey streaks in his mane and his coat being more scruffy.

I'm just gonna say he died and make it easier on everyone derp
And that's exactly what I was going for with Butterscotch Wanted to make it plainly obvious that she was related to Fluttershy without having to actually say it.
