We all love it, otherwise it's unlikely you'd be here. Talk about the show and the fanbase surrounding it. Brony music discussions encouraged.

Star Swirl the Bearded = Discord?

Postby soultensionbenjamin » 03 Feb 2013 06:05

All facts provided by Xannot


- Both Discord and his voice actor (John de Lancie) are confirmed to return in season 3.
- Whenever Discord teleports or makes things disappear, stars appear.
- Whenever Discord hypnotized one of the mane 6, stars appeared in the background.
- When Discord hypnotized Rainbow Dash, silhouette of the maze was shown with its center being a swirl.
- Both Discord and Star Swirl have a white beard.
- Cheerilee said Discord has a pony head, so draconequii seem to be closely related to ponies.
- Discord is able to time travel, and time travel spells are kept in wing named after Star Swirl.
- There is a huge hourglass in said library wing that seems to be counting to something important. Twilight was easily let inside by a guard, so maybe Celestia wanted her to learn the time travel spell?
- Celestia has prepared next level of Twilight's studies, and Luna's book with stars and a swirl appears in the same 2-parter. Markings from this book also appear on the tower on sharp left during The Failure Song. What if Twilight is supposed to study under Star Swirl?
- Amniomorphic spell may actually be Omniomorphic, which supposedly would transform things. Star Swirl is its inventor, and Discord looks like a product of multiple unsuccessful transformations.
- Discord's theater seats have stars on the edges.
- Star Swirl lived at the same period as Clover the Clever (he was mentioned in Hearth's Warming Eve), and both Discord and regal sisters seem to appear shortly after Equestria's founding. Discord clearly remembers Celestia, and even seems to know her personality ("I forgot how boring you can be, Celestia"), which implies he had spent quite a bit of time with her in the past.








Does this fit in with the my little pony season 3 finale?

My mind is slowly blowing. While this would be really awesome, I don't know if it will pan out. Though all these do seem to point to Star Swirl. (He's also the only character who hasn't been seen that has been mentioned numerous times in the series; always by Twilight Sparkle)

I've always liked this bit of headcanon. There was that one thread on /mlp/ or something that "leaked" lines from some future episode which suggested it, but even if it's a hoax, it's a pretty damn cool idea.

I like it, though he did say he had never had any friends ever. Starswirl and Clover the Clever where friends (most probably). I would expect him to have said something along the lines of "You expect me to do what you tell me to just because I might lose the first friend I have had in over 1000 years". Instead he says "only friend I ever had".

You theory could be true though...

Except Luna recognized Twilight's costume as Star Swirl. And when has Discord time traveled? Also, everything has stars in this show, so that doesn't exactly prove Discord is Star Swirl.

Hell, even your name has stars in it!

I'm guessing Discord could time travel if he so desired, given that he's an insane reality warper.

I'm skeptical, but it might turn out to be true.

After all, every single one of my theories have fallen flat on their face.

Then everypony starts hating him because he looks scary. Therefore he loses the few friends he once had. Nobody ever realises its him and now he's almost forgot it himself. In the final episode of season 4 he will somehow save the day and be reviled for who he really is.

Can I point out that in the finale of S3 Celestia says that Starswirl didn't understand friendship as Twilight did?
