History Trivia / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1

* UncreditedRole: Creator/LaurenFaust's husband Creator/CraigMcCracken did a few passes on Discord's design while she was recovering from a cold during production.

* FanNickname: Fluttershy's easily-exploitable name gets another variation in this episode: {{Jerkass}} Fluttershy is "Flutterbitch". "Fluttercruel" is also seeing use, "Flutterbully" is also sometimes used. Surprizingly "Flutterbrute" is not, even though it flows well and Twilight herself called her a brute in the next episode
** There is more - discorded Applejack is Liarjack, discorded Rarity is sometimes referred to as Greedity or Rarigreed, discorded Rainbow Dash is Traitor Dash or Rainbow Ditch, and discorded Pinkie Pie is sometimes called Meanie Pie.
** Fans occasionally replace the c in Discord with a Q: Dis[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q]]ord.

* ShoutOut: To Music/TayZonday's "Chocolate Rain", of all things.
** The rabbits with long legs resemble SalvadorDali's [[http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/5000121546/1/tumblr_lkbhhb78Rb1qghk7b paintings of elephants]].
*** In a similar vein, when Rarity is wandering the maze, we see that it now defies gravity in a manner reminiscent of an [[MCEscher Escher]] painting.
** Discord is basically a DarkerAndEdgier [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q]] with a weird body, which makes sense as [[ActorAllusion Q's actor is Discord's VA!]]
*** Not only that, but Picard explicitly called Q "Next of kin to chaos" in ''Q Who''.
*** Rainbow Dash [[LeeroyJenkins charging at the stained glass window]] may be an allusion to Worf pointing his phaser at the viewscreen when Q's face appears on it in [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint "Encounter at Farpoint"]].
** Discord's status as [[BewareTheSillyOnes a "silly" acting villain]] with [[RealityWarper reality warping abilities]] whose method of choice is psychologically attacking the heroines and breaking apart the bond they share may be inspired by Him from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' (which LaurenFaust worked on as well). He even appears as butterflies with his own face on them to tempt the yellow furred [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]] of the group, something Him did with Bubbles in "All Chalked Up".
