Description
“…It’s a tree.”
Discord chuckled at his daughter’s disappointed face. Every afternoon, Pandora would bolt straight home from the Ponyville schoolhouse for their daily lessons in chaos. Last week, he had teleported the two of them to the bottom of the ocean to hunt for the lost kingdom of Marelantis. They hadn’t found the city, but they had found an angry kraken, and Twilight had been less than thrilled when Discord had finally brought their daughter home for dinner, the two of them giggling and covered in squid ink.
Today, Discord had taken his young charge to the outskirts of Ponyville, where he had summoned an enormous purple tree that looked for all the world like it belonged in a Dr. HorseSheuss story-book.
" My, my, what an astute observation. Perhaps if you do get a cutie mark someday, it’ll be in detective work. " He teased. Pandora’s face soured. Snickering, he ruffled her hair fondly.
"This isn’t your average tree, my dear. It’s ancient, and imbued with the very cosmic force of chaos itself! Also, the bark is grape-flavored." He demonstrated by snapping off a bit of violet bark and proceeding to gnaw it.
"What you are looking at, Panny, is my very own, private thinking tree." Discord said grandly, purple crumbs flying from his mouth.
"Private? Nopony else is allowed up there? Not even Mom? Or Auntie Fluttershy? " Discord could see Pandora’s eyes starting to glitter with curiosity. So very much like her mother.
"Nopony. Only draconequii." He whispered conspiratorially. Pandora barely restrained a little squeak of excitement. Discord grinned.
"Race you to the top."

How the heck did i forget to post this, i finished this like two weeks ago
Headcanon: Discord’s thinking tree grew from a seed given to him by his old mentor, Starswirl the Bearded, so that “the boy would always have a quiet place to think. That boy could stand to do more thinking.”

I really like how Discord's tail is wrapped around the tree, for stability. For some reason that really appeals to me.
Probably the hyper-safety-awareness part.

Noticing that, if you look over at Pandora, she's following her dad's example. Of course her tail isn't long enough to wrap around completely, but it's not free-hanging.

Awww luv it! I love your Discord style and Pandora is just plain adorable i noticed one thing though. That Twilight Discord aren't together a lot, its more like Discord is her adoring admirer and Twilight is embarassed or annoyed by him. Are they separaed Or is that just the life with discord.

Lopoddity In reply to wolfrulez [2014-11-30 04:22:29 +0000 UTC]
They're together, I just don't draw it as often as I should. Most of their love life is Discord being annoying though

I find it a little funny how everyone keeps asking if the mother is fluttershy XD she looks a lot like twilight. Also I love the way discord looks, so calm and concentrated, it's such an oddity to see

Lopoddity In reply to Viist [2014-11-19 02:44:57 +0000 UTC]
God, thank you. I was starting to wonder if I should tweak Pan's design to look more like Twilight. :/ It's probably all the pink that confuses people

No she is perfect the way she is, the little indications of just the bangs are what makes the designs unique, besides if they looked to the right they would also see this featured in the group Discolight.

In the final sentence of the description, "That boy could stand to do more more thinking". Just had to nitpick.
Other than that, I absolutely love the whole thing!

WHAT? I cannot imagine Twilight agreeing with the pregnancy,except if Discordy put she under mind control.

I have devoted a huge chunk of my gallery to Twicord, art thou truly surprised?
Fluttershy is easier to pair with Discord, yeah. I like Fluttercord, but Twicord is just my jam

I´m truly surprised! Keep in mind that on the toons,when Twilight meet Discody,is matter of seconds until begin a terrible argue!Them look like so "friends" like Tom and Jerry.

Lopoddity In reply to TanukiTagawa [2014-11-17 00:35:20 +0000 UTC]
Exactly. Therein lies the charm. Fluttercord is sweet and all, but Twicord is funny, with so many potential moments of "aww they do like each other"

I cannot imagine how Discord would change the Twi´s mind. In fact,I think that in a meeting,the dialog between them likely would be this way:
Discord(Smile): Oh,my dear Twilight!You´re so wise and cute!
Twilight(Frown): Drop dead,creepy!

Lopoddity In reply to TanukiTagawa [2014-11-17 04:37:35 +0000 UTC]
Discord: *drily* Oh, my, Twilight. Such a wise and gorgeous mare. We should all aspire to be like you.
Twilight: Sorry, what was that? My sarcasm detectors are on the fritz. All I heard was "Twilight you're a wise and gorgeous mare and I, Discord, am a dumb old goat."
Discord: You might be paraphrasing a bit there, dear.
See? Writes itself. They banter all day long
