Would explain why she never seemed to realize trying to be scary in a clown costume wouldn't work. For her, it was the only thing that would.

* Considering that [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed Luna Eclipsed]] showed multiple grey-coated, yellow-maned pegasus mares wearing different costumes, I'd say this one is pretty close to confirmed. The one wearing paper bags who drained the apple barrel was the real Derpy Hooves (you can tell by the eyes) and the one dressed as a witch was her someone smarter sister.

If you watch "The Cutie-Mark Chronicles," you'll see Derpy on the lower left during Twilight Sparkles flashback as Celestia is just about to raise the sun in Canterlot. She even has her characteristic derpy eyes. This means that despite appearances, Derpy is older than Twilight Sparkle by quite a bit. However she hasn't aged a day between back then and now. This is because in actuality, Derpy Hooves is the depowered form of Celestia and Luna's mother, who gave up her powers and responsibilities as the one true god-ruler of Equestria thousands of years ago to her two favorite daughters as a gift when they earned their Cutie Marks. She's still alive because even after sacrificing her horn and all its magic, her body's still immortal. She was in

* In "A Bird in the Hoof," Princess Celestia excuses herself from the party early, explaining that the Mayor needs to speak with her. If the Mayor didn't do anything and was just a figurehead, it's strange that she wouldn't just go to the party herself and meet the Princess there, instead of requesting a separate audience.

*** Depending on how Equestrian schools work, this could still fit. Maybe all the class groups went on the same field trip and having Cheerilee was the only older Pony able to take charge that day (certainly the only one visible), making it an acceptable break from the "not being taught by a relative" rule. Stuff like that used to happened in this tropers school from time to time.

[[WMG: Discord is actually just another victim.]]
He was never evil to begin with,or a Draconequis, just an alicorn prankster. Like Pinkie Pie, however, he knew when a prank would be too much.
However, one day, while he was up rearranging the stars (probably into some juvenile statement), he was attacked by some dark force that wormed it's way inside him.

Though the attack seemed to have no effect at first, eventually his pranks started to get more vicious. Then he decided that it didn't matter if anyone else laughed, as long as ''he'' got a laugh. He went around, sewing chaos everywhere, and drawing power from the conflicts he caused. The dark force fed off this power, making Discord more malicious. As he grew more malicious, he caused even greater chaos to draw power from. A negative feed-back loop was formed
The dark force eventually began affecting his physical form, gradually twisting him into the monster we know him as now.

By the time the other alicorns figured out what had happened, he was too powerful for them to stop. He proceeded to wipe the alicorn civilization from the planet, until six young alicorns discovered the Elements of Harmony. By the time they engaged Discord with their new found power, the darkness in him was too powerful to be purged, but they managed to seal him in stone. During the battle, four of the six were fatally wound, and during the sealing, a small portion of the darkness broke away and took up orbit around the moon. The two remaining alicorns, Celestia and Luna, [[LastOfHisKind last of their kind]], preceded to rebuild civilization using the lesser pony races:earth, pegasus, and unicorn (and sea?).

The darkness eventually returned and attacked Luna, but Celestia, having seen the signs of corruption in Discord(particularly the first physical manifestation, those draconic eyes), banished her sister to the moon, isolating her from any source of power for the darkness to feed on, and giving her time to find new bearers for the Elements of Harmony. Since the darkness in Luna wasn't ''nearly'' as strong as it had been in Discord, Luna could be purified, but if she had been allowed to corrupt more thoroughly, her form would have also twisted, though retaining a lunar them, as opposed to Discords chaotic theme.
*If the Elements of Harmony ''alone'' weren't powerful enough to purify Discord, perhaps adding more 'good' elements will help?

to:

[[WMG: Diamond Tiara's and Silver Spoon's Special Talents are not being [[TheLibby Libbies]].{{Alpha Bitch}}es.]]



The reason they're both [[TheLibby libbies]] anyway is that they think their High-Class Special Talents make them better than everypony else.

* Alternatively, Diamond Tiara's talent is leadership, since a tiara is a symbol of authority. She's TheLibby, but she's the kind of libby who actually gets things done at school. If the Ponyville school has clubs and societies, she's president of most of them, rules them with an iron hoof, and makes them succeed.

[[WMG: Discord is a genetically engineered being...]]
... Just like Luna and Celestia. Thousands of years ago, some scientists (were they pony? Were they human? Or something else? WE MAY NEVER KNOW) strived to create the "perfect being". Luna and Celestia were far from the only creations, but they were the most successful. Discord was initially declared a success, but since he's made up of so many different creatures, he had a mixed-up nature that made him crazy. (similar to how if you breed dogs from two different breed classes, they're often conflicted on their behavior) He easily broke out of the facility, killed the scientists, and took over the world. After a while, Luna and Celestia stood up to him. The reason they didn't kill him was pity, they knew it wasn't his fault he was so messed up. They intended to find something that could help him so he wouldn't have to stay stone forever, but their responsibilities to the rest of the world just kept getting in the way, not to mention the Nightmare Moon fiasco which made it even harder for Celestia to work on many things at once. It's one reason Celestia set up the institute of magic, as she hopes that one day, maybe another unicorn will find something to help him.

to:

* It is possible, but it's unlikely. Just about every pony we've seen has made their cutie mark talent into their career. Still, it would be interesting if it's true.




to:

* It's pretty likely. Being a Wonderbolt isn't about being born into fame or wealth, it's about being a talented flier with a passion for the job. Also, only Blueblood, out of ALL the ponies at the Gala, expressed strong distaste for "commoner food", and that's because he's an enormous snob. Being born into wealth doesn't necessarily mean a pony will only eat fancy food.

** Well, they both have a chaos motif.



If the Elements of Harmony were simply a threat to his existence, Discord would've just made them vanish with a thought; but that would be too easy. Instead, he performed MindRape on these 6 ponies and waited. Discord's tricks would've facilitated a FaceHeelTurn for each of them, souring the Elements the moment they'd use them. In fact, if the real Rainbow Dash had been there the first time [[TheOtherDarrin rather than Spike]], the Elements would've belonged to Discord, and the universe would've truly been at his disposal.

[[WMG: Discord may have been defeated, but he's still an immediate threat.]]
The episode immediately after Discord's defeat, Twilight went crazy, and displayed some very Discord-like tendencies. My theory is that, even after Discord's physical body was turned to stone, some part of him remained, at least in Twilight if not the other Element-wielders. I believe this is also what happened to Luna/Nightmare Moon; after defeating Discord the first time, she was altered/possessed by Discord.

Stained Glass Discord dancing on the head of Stained Glass Twilight Sparkle messes with the head of the actual Twilight Sparkle, through a sort of voodoo doll effect. That's why her OCD kicks into mythical proportions during Lesson Zero - all a repercussion of Discord's mind-warp power.

Not only is he one of the [[TheSmartGuy smartest]] and [[GeniusBruiser strongest]] ponies in the show, but he managed to pull off a HerdHittingAttack when covered by a DogPileOfDoom. Am I the only one who thinks he's done [[OneManArmy this sort of thing]] before? He was probably a BadassLabcoat - maybe even Equestria's equivalent of [[HalfLife Gordon Freeman]] (after all, they both [[HeroicMime barely talk]]) - who decided he was GettingTooOldForThis and settled down on the family farm.

As for his field of study? I'm invoking RuleOfFunny and guessing he was a computer scientist... Big '''Macintosh''', anyone?

[[WMG: DISCORD is a TimeLord]]
Well, to be more specific... Discord is the Master to Doctor Whooves'... Doctor. Ties in nicely with the Doctor theory above that he battled Discord in the past. How? Discord is the Master, who picked up a few tips from Q and some others, and those tips he took are what changed him into the MixAndMatchCritter that he is, voice included. He accepted this as the perfect guise to hide from the Doctor under, since he would not expect it.

** "Tails" could be the nickname of another pony, much like how Pinkie is short for "Pinkamina". OR he could be the homonym "Tales" whose special talent is story-telling. He will be Trixie's brother, in fact. Also, I think if Sugar and Spice are TomboyAndGirlyGirl, Spice should be the girly girl and Sugar the tomboy as a neat subversion. AND they will be colour-coded like the Powerpuff Girls (Spice will be green, Sugar is pink, and Nice is blue)

[[WMG: Discord was created by the [[OrderOfTheStick ongoing disputes of the Gods]]]]
Originally, there were many racial deities, but the ongoing feuds of how to run their respective lands led to conflict. Discord was born of those conflicts, and took the amalgamated forms of the other gods to mock them. Then he systematically purged the other gods (which is why we never hear of any Buffalo, Cow, Dog, Dragon, Griffon, etc gods during these worldwide crises) and even members of the Royal Pony Sisters extended family. That's why he ruled Equestria and not the world. He was trying to draw Celestia and Luna into open conflict with him where he could crush them. He didn't expect the Elements of Harmony though.

[[WMG: Spitfire is Scootaloo's sister]]
Unlikely. Scoot might be a bit thick sometimes, but if Spitfire, a Wonderbolt, were her sister she'd have bragged about this to Rainbow at the FIRST opportunity. There's no way that Scootaloo, being such a huge fan of Rainbow, wouldn't have learned that Rainbow herself is a fan of the Wonderbolts.
* Perhaps Spitfire has a SecretIdentity?
** Spitfire IS the secret identity, ie. a stage name. Her real name? [[spoiler:Firefly.]]

[[WMG: Spitfire will become TheMentor to Rainbow Dash]]

[[WMG: Spitfire's & Soarin's cutie marks have nothing to do with flying]]
We haven't seen any Wonderbolts out of costume and there's nothing to suggest that a pony's special talent ''has'' to be flying in order to get into the Wonderbolts. It would also provide some comedic irony when Rainbow Dash finds out that her idols special talent is something completely unreleated like sewing or fishing or something. Some guesses...
* Soarin's cutie mark is a chef's hat or something related to cooking. He clearly loves homemade pies, what if he was a chef before joining the Wonderbolts?
* Their cutie marks are on their costumes.
** No they don't. Those are some kind of insignia/symbol other then a cutie mark, unless you think that nearly every Wonderbolt has one of two cutie marks.

[[WMG: One of the Wonderbolts is Surprise from G1]]
She has a yellow mane, and white fur like Surprise. They're both Pegasi, and it would go great with the "S" theme (Soarin', Spitfire..)
* It would be hilarious if it turned out she was related to Pinkie Pie somehow...
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Pinkie! Why didn't you tell me your Aunt Surprise was a Wonderbolt?!\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Cause then it wouldn't be a SURPRISE! Silly pony!
* Alternatively '''Pinkie Pie:''' You never asked.

[[WMG: Just like the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels Blue Angels]] are drawn from US Naval, Air Force, and Marine Corps personnel, the members of the Wonderbolts are all specially-selected members of the Equestria Armed Forces]]

[[WMG: Discord was originally a statue]]
The Elements of Harmony's friend beam can't do anything to harm other creatures, that's why they could only send Nightmare moon to the moon, and later, return her back to normal. That said, it didn't petrify Discord; it only returned him to his original form. However, that means there are now two forces of evil out there that are liberated.
