History Fanfic / TheLastDraconequus

* BewareTheSillyOnes:

* BoringInvincibleHero: Surprisingly averted, given how powerful Discord is compared to the ponies. He gets put through the wringer more than once across all the continuities.

* GodOfChaos: Matrisse, a mountain of living crystal is the Avatar of Order. While there have been many Avatars of Chaos throughout history, there's only been one Avatar of Order. It's not a good force and tried to destroy all magic due to finding it chaotic.

* ColdBloodedTorture: In the ''Elements of Opposition'' series, [[spoiler:Discord himself is subjected to this repeatedly for ''months'']].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Discord definitely had one, but his outward demeanour hides a lot. In ''Elements of Opposition'', once she learns more about Discord's past, Twilight is shocked by how bad he really had it, just because he never let on.

* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:Discord's opposite number is Matrisse, the Avatar of Order, who is described as a living mountain of crystal and once tried to destroy all magic. He is also a true immortal who cannot be killed, only weakened. The Tree of Harmony may also qualify to a lesser extent, being a living crystalline tree that has powerful magic, recruits "partners", and can replicate itself by growing offshoots elsewhere in Equestria. Ironically, this makes Discord the most normal of the three]].

* HateSink: Anon from ''Not The Hero'' -- any appearance he makes in-story will (out of universe) elicit horror, hatred, disgust, and threads of bodily harm from the readers, up to and including a wish to [[Creator/MyWayEntertainment "kill him, rape him, and eat his fucking costume."]]

* WarIsHell: The war against the dragons, in which Discord fought [[spoiler:for Equestria at Celestia's request,]] is said to have played a large part in driving him insane.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Discord's got some very questionable moral values. Sometimes, he deigns to explain them, and they're... interesting, to say the least.
** The first chapter of ''Awkward Conversations'' was all about Discord explaining to Twilight why he doesn't actually commit rape, after Twilight remarks that it would be in-character for him to do so. He is indignant and offended by this, not because rape is a horrible thing to do, but because he sees it as the most uncreative way possible to torment someone.
-->'''Twilight:''' Believe me, your logic about ''why'' you don't want to commit rape is so weird, nopony would ever come up with it independently.

** [[spoiler:In ''Not The Hero'', it's revealed that he's actually lying when he said he's against committing rape because it's an uncreative way to torment someone; it's actually because he has chaos avatar memories of Mayhem raping his mother ''from his perspective.'']]
-->'''Discord:''' [[spoiler:[[WhamLine I can remember Mayhem raping my mother. From his perspective.]]]]

* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:Discord himself in the ''Elements of Opposition'' series is subjected to this repeatedly for ''months'']].

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In ''Traitor'', Discord fully intends to give his life to save the ponies from Tirek's wrath after he is betrayed. Fortunately, it doesn't come to that]].

* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Discord's mother, Madonna, vanishes at the end of the first chapter of ''The Last Draconequus'', along with the rest of his species. It is left unclear whether she is dead or has managed to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.]]
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: ''Elements of Opposition'' features at least two characters talking about some of Discord's more badass moments in the past, including how he [[spoiler:fought for Equestria in their war against the dragons at great personal risk]], and how he [[spoiler:saved magic itself by smashing Matrisse, the Avatar of Order into pieces, scattering his power]]. However, since ''The Last Draconequus'' is still incomplete and has not gotten that far yet, we haven't actually seen either of these events.

* OutsideContextVillain: [[spoiler:Anon]] from ''Not The Hero'' is this for Discord.

----

* SlidingScaleOfLivingToys: In ''The Last Draconequus'', Discord uses his magic to animate a toy draconequus he made out of a discarded and partially destroyed stuffed pony. The toy, Little Sister, is a Level 4 (I've Got No Strings) when Discord is actively using his magic to animate her, though he removes the animating magic when he is sleeping or not present.

* MindRape: The discording effect used against the main six is referenced a few times. In the ''Elements of Opposition'' series, we see a more extreme version of this which turned the other world's main six into [[CompleteMonster Complete Monsters]]

* ExtremeOmnivore: Subverted. Discord does ''seem'' to be able to eat almost anything, but he's not actually capable of digesting everything and has to internally turn it into something he can handle. He also changes the taste of much of what he consumes to make it tolerable, [[spoiler:and suffers when this ability is taken from him]]. Additionally, while his body ''does'' require meat, he hasn't ever actually eaten real meat before, because he can conjure simulated meat just fine.

* CompleteMonster: The alternate main six from the Opposition world became complete monsters due to that world's Discord going too far.
** Tirek, already not exactly the nicest guy in the original series, has outright murderous intent here. [[spoiler: It's only Discord's efforts that convince him to not kill every defeated opponent they face.]]

"''The Last Draconequus''" is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction series, written by Alara J. Rogers, that started with a single story of the same name intended to tell the backstory of Discord. Although the original fic remains incomplete, numerous side-stories, sequels and spin-offs by the author (most of them set in the present time of the show), have used the backstory it tells, creating an expansive, fleshed-out universe that includes many alternate continuities and what-if premises. It remains canon-compliant was far as season four (although it ignores the comics).

"The Last Draconequus" is the first in a series of stories, set in the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic universe, that help expand and deepen Discord as a character. Written by Alara J Rogers on the 15[[superscript:th]] of November, 2013. In this story, we learn more about the Draconequus species as well as Discord's own origins. Can be found [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/145719/the-last-draconequus here]].

!!The Last Draconequus contains examples of:
* EntropyAndChaosMagic: The story is focused around, Discord, a god spirit of chaos.

* OrphansOrdeal: Discord is the only Draconequus and has been since early in his existance.
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Discord's mother, Madonna, vanishes at the end of the first chapter, along with the rest of his species. It is left unclear whether she is dead or has managed to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.]]
* TheArtfulDodger: While this trope usually applies to children who live on the streets, it applies in this case despite the fact that Discord lives in the wilderness. After initially attempting to find food in nature, and mostly failing, Discord comes to thrive on and greatly enjoy stealing food from earth pony farmers, and will deliberately taunt them with his exploits (for example, leaving behind apple cores after sneaking into an apple cart and eating several of the apples as the farmer pulls the cart to market.)
* SlidingScaleOfLivingToys: Discord uses his magic to animate a toy draconequus he made out of a discarded and partially destroyed stuffed pony. The toy, Little Sister, is a Level 4 (I've Got No Strings) when Discord is actively using his magic to animate her, though he removes the animating magic when he is sleeping or not present.
