3
4	''[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/ Discorderly Conduct]]'' is an Blog/AskAPony Tumblr starring everypony's favorite Lord of Chaos, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]]. Due to the author, [[http://peachiekeenie.deviantart.com/ [=Sunshine/peachiekeenie=]]] (a bit of a Tumblr [[http://permaclown.tumblr.com/ RP]] [[http://batwhatever.tumblr.com/ veteran]]), frequently collaborating with friends and fellow pony bloggers, this article also covers sister blog ''Cupidite'', as well as {{Crossover}}s with blogs like ''Ask Pinchy''.
5
6	The blog covers Discord and his exploits in some undefined point in the ''Friendship is Magic'' continuity (or maybe it's an AlternateUniverse, who knows?). Along the way, he meets/annoys familiar characters like the Changeling Queen, Chrysalis, innocent schoolfilly Ruby Pinch, and even G1 ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' villains like Tirac/Tirek and ''frickin' Grogar''. It's most notable for being one of the most consistently funny and in-character portrayals of Discord, as well as being one of the most ''amazingly'' well-drawn pony Tumblrs.
7
8	As stated before, this blog has a sister, ''[[http://cupidite.tumblr.com Cupidite]]'', which focuses primarily on Queen Chrysalis and is drawn by a friend of Sunshine's, [[http://tarajenkins.deviantart.com Tara Jenkins]] (another [[http://wakjob.tumblr.com/ Ask Blog]] [[http://quinntaessentia.tumblr.com/ veteran]]). Both blogs share storylines and art styles, and they even shared the same blog space for a while.
9
10	After a long hiatus, the blog has gone through a ContinuityReboot. As such, entries prior to the reboot are now considered non-canon to the blog's story. The classic entries can be found [[http://discorderlyconduct-classic.tumblr.com/ here]]. However, it appears that it's on hiatus again/cancelled, with the blogs last update being in 2014.

13	!!Discorderly Conduct Classic Tropes:
14
15	* AlwaysABiggerFish: Surprisingly enough, [[spoiler: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22519157306/they-feed-on-his-anguish-and-tears Chubbies]].]]
16	* ArtEvolution: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/48177983093/keep-moving-forward-discorderlyconduct-is-now-1 Summed up here]]
17	* AprilFoolsDay: 2013 had them switch from Discord and Chryssie to [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hades]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula]]. [[FanDisservice They engage in a make out session per request.]] [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/46831863828/growing-pains-collaboration-with-askpinchy Ask Pinchy]] joins in on the fun by switching Ruby Pinch with [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Lilo]].
18	* BelligerentSexualTension: Discord and Chrysalis, natch. [[spoiler: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/42993038180/cupidite-berserker-bgs-and-animation-by They seemed to have been an actual couple at some point in the past.]]]]
19	* TheBigDamnKiss: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/43059206169/cupidite-from-me-and-sunshine Happy Hearts and Hooves Day!]]
20	* BizarreAlienBiology: In addition to being a MixAndMatchCritter, [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/23759717910 Discord's heart]] is a black, many-eyed monstrosity that spits green goo and ''hisses''.
21	* BrattyHalfPint: Discord as a kid.
22	* CerebusRetcon: Discord knocked out his missing fang by time-travelling to his teenage years and accidentally knocking out his dweeby past self. [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/23717953038/pony-prom-part-1 This is played for laughs]]. Chrysalis's [[http://cupidite.tumblr.com/post/23797925162/been-there-done-that-discord-pencils-by memory of the same night]] isn't.
23	* {{Crossover}}: ''All the time''. It's probably safe to say that about half of the more well-known pony tumblrs share the same continuity with this one.
24	* DudeNotFunny: In-universe, [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/23588371799 this ask.]]
25	* EmbarrassingNickname: Tirek the "Butt Trumpet". The G1 ponies (actually Discord's puppets) calling him by his nickname [[BerserkButton lead]] to the events of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyRescueAtMidnightCastle''
26	* EvenEvilHasStandards: "[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/26624271256/stop-being-so-creepy STOP BEING SO CREEPY]]"
27	* FanDisservice: As part of their April Fool's 2013 gag, in which they switched from Discord and Queen Chrysalis to Hades and Ursula, they used one of the more blatant troll questions to great effect. It asked for a make-out session.
28	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Discord, who was a bit of a "[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22899699896/late-bloomer late bloomer]]".
29	* GenderBender: "[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/28572541060/misscord-lol Misscord]]"
30	* GentleGiant: Tirek was once this before becoming a villain, and even then, it was all because the G1 ponies (Or rather puppets of them made by Discord) called him a "[[EmbarrassingNickname Butt Trumpet]]"
31	* KarmaHoudini: Grogar, see TheManBehindTheMan for more information.
32	* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: Grogar. Whenever he shows up, the mood turns 100% serious. Unless Candyland is involved.]]
33	* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Grogar, for King Sombra. He also played some unknown part in Chrysalis being turned into a Changeling.]]
34	* MorphicResonance: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/21566911691/discord-is-best-queen Apparently, Chrysalis and Discord didn't bother changing their eyes and fangs]]
35	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/40126488696/you-remind-me-of-someone-i-used-to-know-tara Discord, after realizing how much of a jerk he was to Pinchy.]]
36	* MythologyGag: G1 characters like [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22383103622/nothing Grogar]], [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22455220239/discord-not-even-once Tirek]], and the [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22661542459/disagree-to-disagree Bushwoolies]] are regularly revamped and brought into the blog's canon.
37	* {{Narcissist}}: Discord ships himself with himself. Yes, in ''[[ScrewYourself that]]'' way.
38	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
39	** Discord tries this on Grogar. It fails. ''[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22383103622/nothing Horribly]]''.
40	** Scootaloo gives one to Discord after making Pinchy cry. [[spoiler:It reminds him of the same speech [[YouRemindMeOfX Pre-Changeling Chrysalis]] gave him when they were younger, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone prompting him to apologize to Pinchy]].]]
41	* {{Retcon}}: Combined with MultipleChoicePast. Pre-hiatus, Tirek and Grogar were Discord's [[ChildhoodFriend childhood]] "[[VitriolicBestBuds friends]]". Post-hiatus, Discord was apparently Grogar's apprentice and is shown to be younger than him and Tirek. When [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/74780047705/conceal-dont-feel pressed]] by Twilight and Fluttershy about the sudden change, he tells them to [[BerserkButton not worry about it.]]
42	%%* ShipSinking: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/34702900342/behold-the-true-terror-of-nightmare-night-2012 Don't count on any Discord/Celestia shipping here.]] [[spoiler: Especially after Discord and Chrysalis shared TheBigDamnKiss]]
43	%%* ShipTease: Every other time Discord and Chrysalis interact.
44	* ShoutOut
45	--->'''Discord:''' [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1 "Lightbulb."]]
46	** Discord and Pinchy at one point enter a portal to the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn Last Unicorn]]'' universe.
47	** [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/29058418250/1-9-pages "Discord]] [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries was here!]] [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]] is a loser!"
48	** [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22711126255/contract "What a happy coincidence,]] [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica I have something to ask you as well."]]
49	** [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/24419806262/please-send-all-hate-mail-to-stripey-for-giving-me The one time Discord was on Equestrian Idol]], he chose to sing [[WesternAnimation/Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted "Afro Circus"]]
50	** "''[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/74780047705/conceal-dont-feel I'm never going back!]] [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 The past is in the past!]] '''LET IT GO!'''''"
51	%%* SmugSmiler: Grogar.
52	* TheStoic: Grogar seems to have only two expressions -- a DeathGlare or [[SmugSmiler a smug smile]]. [[NotSoStoic The only exception]] was when Discord [[BerserkButton cheated]] during Candyland night.
53	* TragicVillain: Chrysalis, see [[WasOnceAMan Was Once A Mare]] for more information.
54	* {{Troll}}: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/27852601793/he-who-controls-the-butthurt-controls-the Who do you think?]]

57	* VillainsOutShopping: Discord [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/22325733969/real-men-play-candyland plays]] [[RealMenWearPink Candyland]] with Grogar, Ahuizotl and Tirek.
58	--->'''Grogar:''' ''[[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/35752459069/good-ol-days "THERE ARE NO CARS IN CANDYLAND!"]]''
59	* VitriolicBestBuds: Discord with ChildhoodFriends Tirek and Grogar. And Chrysalis, when they're not busy having BelligerentSexualTension.
60	* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler: Chrysalis. Remember that alicorn princess from "Hearts And Hooves Day"? Yeeeeahhhh...]]
61	* WhamEpisode: "[[http://cupidite.tumblr.com/post/40188675980/mama-knows-best-cupidite-hiatus-is-now-over Mama Knows Best]]"
62	** [[spoiler: [[http://discorderlyconduct.tumblr.com/post/44799580322/winners-write-the-history-books "Winners write the history books"]]]]
63	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[JustForFun/DaringDo Ahuizotl]] was amongst the villains Discord invited on Candyland night. He hasn't been seen since then (Possibly due to Ahuizotl being an in-universe fictional character[[note]]At least prior to ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont Daring Don't]]''[[/note]]).
64	* WingdingEyes: Every time Discord gets ''really'' furious, his eyes get, for lack of a better word...''[[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3pvicoua01ru5991o2_500.jpg scratchy]]''.
65
66	!!Discorderly Conduct Reboot Tropes:
67	* BefriendingTheEnemy: After seeing the success of reforming Discord, the ponies are hoping to do the same with the Changelings, starting with Chrysalis.
