YMMV / Discorded Whooves

Go To

  • Arc Fatigue: Every single arc. Some are unresolved or put aside, this doesn't go well with some fans.
  • Ass Pull: Every time Jitters has Whooves become discorded again each time he's going to snap back to normal. And it's not just whenever he's around Derpy. It's every time he becomes hopeful.
  • Awesome Art: Even detractors will admit the artwork and Dissy's own design is rather brilliantly done!
  • Base-Breaking Character:
    • Miss Twilight Sparkle. By so many degrees. Some fans enjoy her character, while others find her completely unnecessary to the story itself, especially now since she's a recurring character in Motherly Scootaloo. Also the fact that she's basically began with Discorded Whooves only because Jitters is good friends with the tumblr creator, Princess Marshmallow. Which makes it ironic considering Princess Marshmallow ended the blog a long while back.
    • The decision of bringing back Octavia has met with mixed reception: Some fans are happy to see her back (And to put focus away from Miss Twilight Sparkle, who's already divisive) while others see it as Jitter's attempts to lengthen out the story and others have brought eye rolls since it's obvious Jitters is going to have Dissy go behind Twilight's back with Octavia.
  • Broken Base: Everything of the tumblr is this. Most fans love Discorded Whooves, while others don't see nothing really happening.
    • Special points to Miss Twilight Sparkle, either because of Die for Our Ship or the fact some find the tumblr completely out of focus of the entire plot (Also becoming a part of the Motherly Scootaloo tumblr) doesn't help either. Some find Miss Twilight Sparkle completely unnecessary due to how out of sync it is and it doesn't help that Jitters is friends with the creator (as well with Laura the Zony. but she's pretty saved compared to Miss Twilight Sparkle). Some like the tumblr though, but as a stand alone tumblr (which is what it was when it started off...).
    • Jitters himself is this. Some love his work, while others don't know for sure if he's simply enjoys being what Steven Moffat is to Whoovians. Other aspects to Jitters is how he will take criticism, as if someone comments on how they don't like Discorded Whooves, he immediately defends it by stating their points wrong.
    • Two words: Octavia's Return.
  • Continuity Lock-Out: With so many blogs, some being unknown to casual viewers because they get little mention, it going to happen, which leads to a lot of confusion....
  • Die for Our Ship: Any time Dissy is seen with Twilight, fans go on a rampage of asks, telling him he should be with Derpy. This almost always leads to the Doctor reverting to his Discorded self.
    • The shippers have gotten so bad that they started harassing Ask Miss Twilight Sparkle blog.
    • While this is mainly due to the crazed fanbase, some fans do have an understanding anger towards Miss Twilight Sparkle, some feel that Twilight and Dissy's relationship suffers from Strangled by the Red String. While there are some moments that feel the two understand each other, due to Jitter's usage of Rule of Drama, it comes off as just forced. The fact Jitters keeps writing in Miss Twilight Sparkle when she isn't needed and gets uptight if someone criticizes the pairing. The ironic thing is Jitter is actually a fan of Whooves X Mayor Mare and MTS isn't even his character.
  • Fan-Preferred Pairing: This ranges to Derpy Hooves X Dissy, but this will depend on whether Dissy isn't too corrupted or another aspect. This has been increased since the creation of Ask Bedeviled Derpy, which is a what-if scenario with Derpy being discorded instead of Whooves.
    • Derpy X Dissy is usually more subtle with the fans due to Jitter's interests with Dissy X Miss Twilight Sparkle, which fans see more as an Author Tract.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Dissy had a deinonychus companion (named Vivian) for a short time, and was able to understand her perfectly. This was before the Twelfth Doctor's debut, where he mentions being able to speak dinosaur.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Dissy is a jerk yes, but he is the result of a lot of self hate and a pretty bad Mind Rape.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Who here just goes to the tumblr just to see Derpy becoming depressed over Dissy's change/Dissy being a Jerkass/Dissy having sex with mares and/or having sex with Miss Twilight Sparkle? The huge later may be Averted due to Jitters becoming more tamed with the tumblr.
  • Never Live It Down: While toned down and more or less showing how pathetically sad he is, the blog is forever just known at the fact Dissy went around having sex with anybody he saw.
  • Padding: One of the many complaints fans have of Discorded Whooves is how much the story takes too long to get from point A to point B. While some tumblrs (like Lil Miss Rarity or Student of the Night) take around three-four updates to flesh out a part of the story, Discorded Whooves takes ten to fifteen updates to get to point B. And those are rare.
  • Signature Scene: The scene were the Doctor beats Derpy near death, is one of the reasons why the blog is so infamous.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • Any scene with Derpy. Each time Dissy is back to normal, you seriously, seriously want him and her to reconcile and finally have some change in the story. But as always, Status Quo comes in. Other tumblr readers can get tears whenever Miss Twilight Sparkle and Dissy are flirting or being in love with each other as it takes away what was they wanted to happen to Derpy. Faust dammit Jitters...
    • Despite some critiques, some do feel sorry for Miss Twilight Sparkle due to everything that occurs to her. Doesn't help that Dissy knows he'll just ruin her recovery but she keeps coming back and he keeps returning to her.
  • The Woobie: Derpy, just Derpy, considering what she endures.
