**The “Bride Of Discord” Universe** is a series of fanfictions based on *My Little Pony Friendship is Magic* set in an alternate universe where Discord escaped after “The Return Of Harmony” instead of being turned to stone and waits to make his move. Three years later and the mane 6 have moved on with their lives, all except Fluttershy who cannot get the draconequus out of her mind. The others are happy in their new and comfortable lives, until enemy returns and will only relieve Equestria of his havoc in exchange for a bride, which turns out to be Fluttershy.

Originally by DisneyFanatic2364, it has since expanded into sequel stories, audio dramas and other side stories.

## Characters

As the “Bride Of Discord” universe, takes place in a universe different from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, most familiar character roles have changed, slightly in some cases and significantly in others.

### Fluttershy

Bride Of Discord (trilogy's first) starts with Fluttershy and her friends celebrating Discord's defeat, but soon realize that Discord hadn't been turned to stone. She looks to Twilight who suggests that they visit Princess Celestia who tells her to wear her Element of Kindness as protection, during his three absence Fluttershy had been seen as a hero and a natural beauty and would be asked out on a regular basis but would reject them all. At the gala, she would perform a song but halfway through Discord appears and announces his return, he strikes a deal with them where it leads to Fluttershy accepting his deal after seeking advice from both Applejack and Zecora. Throughout Fluttershy's stay at the Castle of Chaos, she and Discord learn to get along and become friends while slowly falling in love, unfortunately on her birthday Fluttershy was pressured into telling her friends whenever or not she loves him. Discord overhears and loses his temper which then leads to him releasing Fluttershy and during that time she is advised to go to him which she does, however both her and her friends are attacked by Timberwolves but were saved by Discord. After her friends were healed she and Discord admit their feelings, kiss and would start dating until their wedding day.

In Daughter Of Discord, the story starts with Fluttershy meeting up with her friends which ends up with her visiting a doctor and learning she is pregnant, while the audio drama starts with a recap of Bride of Discord and Fluttershy's baby shower. She would later give birth to a pink earth pony with lollypop eyes and Discord would name her Screwball, while growing up both her and Discord would realize the many abilities she possesses and have daily play-dates with her friends including Derpy Hooves. After learning her daughter used her magic (again) on her classmates, she would attend a meeting after school to help soothe things over but ends up slapping Filthy Rich for insulting Discord and Screwball. At dinner, she scolds Discord and tells Screwball he is in time out and wakes up the following morning to find Screwball missing and later discovers that she was with Queen Chrysalis's son in the Everfree Forest, weeks later she would realize that Screwball has a crush on a colt. Five years later, Fluttershy is seen attending her daughter and Dinky's birthday party and telling the girls to go to bed when she had them for a sleepover. She would arrive at the gala alongside Discord and Screwball where she would dance with her husband and later find out about Mothball and Screwball's relationship. In one of the spare rooms in Canterlot Castle, Fluttershy would witness the growing argument and fight between Screwball and Discord and after Screwball returns gives Rarity advice on her predicament with Fancy Pants. After a few days had passed, Fluttershy would be at the spa with Rarity, meanwhile Queen Chrysalis would use her abilities to turn the Mane 6 including Fluttershy against Discord. Thanks to Screwball, Discord and the Mane 6 realize that Chrysalis was behind it and during the fight, Fluttershy would be seemingly killed but woke up after the changeling fiasco and welcomed Mothball to the family and into Castle of Chaos.

Son-In-Law Of Discord (the main series finale and the only story not made into an audio drama) starts with Fluttershy returning home with her family including Mothball, she warns Discord to not be too harsh on their daughter's boyfriend and would dance with him later that day. She attend Thunder Dash and Apple Blossom's wedding 5 years later, and would witness Mothball proposing to Screwball and the next morning would learn that Chrysalis is dying and that there is another heir to the changeling throne. A few hours before Screwball, Mothball and Twilight left to find the changeling heir Fluttershy offered that Twinkle Sparkle could stay at the Castle of Chaos since Flash Sentry was away on business at the Crystal Empire, which Twilight accepted and later told Discord that if he wanted to see Chrysalis it was okay and that she didn't mind. While laying awake at night talking to Discord, Screwball used a mirror to contact her parents to give them an update and to ask for advice, which both her and Discord gave. After Discord teleported back to their home, Fluttershy would tend to Screwball after her encounter with a Tatzlwurm and two months later attend her daughter and son-in-law's wedding.

### Discord

Throughout the Bride Of Discord (trilogy's first) story, Discord plays the antagonistic role who uses his magic for his own gain and enjoyment, but when Fluttershy accepted his deal he would learn to use his magic to make others happy especially Fluttershy. He would eventually and quickly fall in love with her and by the end of Bride of Discord marry her and prove to be a powerful ally and to no longer wish to overthrow Equestria.

In Daughter Of Discord, Discord is one of the supporting characters and fathered a daughter (Screwball) and five years after a son (Zany) both inheriting his chaos magic abilities, he would be supportive of Screwball's use of magic and obviously angry when he learns that she was communicating with Mothball (changeling prince and heir) and knowingly five years later dancing with him at the gala. After returning home, he would have trouble talking to her and after he witnesses Fluttershy kissing another stallion (two changelings in disguise) and flies off. He would teleport to Screwball and offer a chance of fun and revenge aganist Gold Digger and Silver Tray while assuring her no one will get hurt and Fluttershy won't mind.

In the fourth chapter: Words, Words, Words of CMC:The Next Generation, Discord along with his family are informed that Gemstone is missing and decide to search the Everfree Forest but would later learn that Gemstone was in Sweet Apple Acres.

In Hearth's Warming Chaos,After he told Tri-Pies that there's no such thing as Santa Hooves he would spend the majority of the fanfic to make it up to Raspberry Pie who became disheartened and lost her holiday spirit.

### Screwball

In the Daughter Of Discord storyline, Screwball is the main protagonist along with her friends and crush later boyfriend Mothball (husband in the sequel) who is the son of the story's antagonist, Queen Chrysalis. The plot details the difficulties of being the daughter of Discord and the dangers of falling in love and befriending the prince of changelings

In it's sequel Screwball along with Mothball journeys to find his half sister (who is revealed to be Trixie) so that she could claim the throne from their dying mother.

### Mothball

In Daughter Of Discord, Mothball is the heir of Queen Chrysalis's throne and the childhood long love interest of Screwball./ Throughout Daughter of Discord the plot is widely inspired by The Lion King 2 which is the happier ending of Romeo and Juliet.

In Son-In-Law Of Discord, Mothball helps Screwball and Twilight find his royal half-sister Bellatrix so that she can receive the royal blessing to become the new changeling ruler. In both stories it shows Mothball's difficulties on keeping and maintaining his relationship with Screwball whilst learning more about his half-sister, her daughter and her life.

But 1 out of the 4 people’s dramatic fanfic readings remained online while the others were deleted.

* On Fimfiction, Mister Phoenix has made blog logs for each chapter of Bride Of Discord. There was also a User by the name of RachWrites that said was planning to do a review of Bride Of Discord. But that blog post that mention that was posted in 2014.

* There is YouTube reviews of the Bride Of Discord and Daughter Of Discord Audio Dramas by ILoveKimPossibleAlot, Shunks,KateCast Reviews,and Luna.
* Ice Gaze, the voice of Cinnamon Roll, made a song parody of "Michael In the Bathroom" from Be More Chill called "Cinnamon Roll In The Bathroom." DF loved it so much for adding more depth to Cinnamon Roll's character than she could've thought of that she eventually decided to adapt it into an animatic for BronyCon 2018.

* Magpiepony (of Princess Trixie Sparkle and Pinkie Tales notability) did a song parody of "At The Beginning" from Anastasia with Haste Dash (the voice of Spike in PTS at the time) called "Here Next To You" inspired by Bride Of Discord. DF asked to use it in the credits for the final episode, and Magpie accepted.

* DaWillstanator(Thespio) and Katie Patterson(Midnight Sonata), who voiced Discord and his daughter Screwball respectively, are dating in real life (and, as of October of 2018, married).

* As is often the case with young boys in voice acted projects, a few are voiced by women. DisneyFanatic2364 voices 5-year-old Cinnamon Stick, SkyJayne voices Zany and baby Thunder Dash, Sprinkly Songs voices Applespike as a baby, and Jacqueline M voices him as a toddler.

* As more reviews started to highlight the problematic aspects of Bride of Discord, such as the relationship between Applejack and Spike and Discord's possessive nature towards Fluttershy, DF started to get more backlash thrown her way. When the BOD short "A Different Kind of Family" was released and still showed Applejack and Spike as a couple, DF posted a message on her Community tab addressing the problematic aspects of her stories and how she's evolved as a writer since then, but can't do anything to change the universe she's already established now: "There's something people need to understand about "Bride of Discord." At the time I first wrote it, I was 18, living in a country where marriage laws were different than in America, and was a closeted asexual with very little context of how relationships worked, except for what I observed in media and the people around me. There were things about the world and myself I didn't yet understand. So if anything is found problematic in the way I presented my ships, know that it came from an imagination that was innocent, naive, and not fully matured. Since then, I've strived to improve my writing and the way I write romantic relationships, but it's far too late to change the canon of "Bride of Discord," hence why the ships in the recent short remained constant, despite the understandable issues they arise. The point is I am an imperfect person and writer. I was learning then, and am still learning now. I acknowledge that fact. If you still find what I write to be problematic, you don't have to read/watch my stories. I beat myself up already for my mistakes. I don't need others to do it for me."

* pokeyinmypocket was a Make-A-Wish Foundation kid who suffered from a terminal illness whose wish was to meet DF and help her with her videos. She wound up contributing art to and voicing Twilight's daughter Twinkle and Rarity's youngest daughter Jewel in Episode 8 of Daughter Of Discord. As of 2022,pokeyinmypocket is feeling better now.

* After Velvet Sugar took on the role of Fluttershy for episodes 1-6 of Daughter Of Discord, Mary Medley, who voiced her in Bride came back in Episode 7. Sadly, this would be short lived, as in Episode 8, Katie Patterson took over.
* BigApplePie voiced Big Macintosh initially in Bride Of Discord, but littlemanjack98 inherited the role in Episode 10. However, in the final episode of Daughter Of Discord, Big Macintosh is once again played by BigApplePie, which is especially surprising if you know his reasons for leaving, as detailed below.

* BigApplePie, the voice of Discord, left the series after Episode 9, citing dissatisfaction with the story as his main reason (as he views Fluttercord as an abusive relationship). He'd actually been wanting to leave since Episode 5, but stayed with the project longer as a favor to DF, who is actually his cousin. Brony analyst DaWillstanator would take on the role for Episode 10 and Daughter Of Discord. This also meant that the roles of Big Macintosh, Shining Armor, and Prince Blueblood had to be filled for their brief speaking appearances in Episode 10, by littlemanjack98, Color Blitz, and DaWillstanator respectively. Though despite all of this, BigApplePie would play Big Macintosh again in the final episode of Daughter Of Discord, and even voiced General Mantis in the Daughter of Discord short "Heartless".

* When DF was holding the casting call for Daughter Of Discord, she briefly convinced Mary Medley to return to the role of Fluttershy by saying that the character's role wouldn't be as big as it was in Bride Of Discord. However, she realized that by taking the role back, she would be depriving everyone who auditioned of a shot, so she left again, and Pinkie Rose, who voiced Pinkie Pie in Bride was announced as the new Fluttershy. However, Pinkie Rose also dropped out due to personal reasons, although she had recorded enough Pinkie Pie lines for Episode 1 before doing so, leaving Fluttershy to be voiced by Velvet Sugar, at least until Mary Medley ultimately came back for Episode 7 due to Velvet Sugar's home issues (only to leave again and be replaced by Katie Patterson), and Pinkie Pie to be voiced by OtisCat123 in Episodes 4-7 and Quirky Craft in Episode 8.

* Chrysalis was going to be voiced by Magpiepony in Daughter Of Discord, but she left due to her commitments on Princess Trixie Sparkle and Pinkie Tales, which DF understood since she's a fan of both series. Instead, truesailorcomet (the composer and voice of Lightning Dash) wound up playing Chrysalis. Magpiepony did wind up playing Chrysalis' mother Queen Arachne in a flashback in Episode 6, however.

* DF herself intended to give up the role of Rainbow Dash when Daughter Of Discord was announced, as she felt she wasn't as good with that voice as she was with Applejack, and held auditions for a replacement. Initially, Ribonchan was announced as Rainbow Dash's new voice, but then she dropped out. Then, Emogak stepped in, but couldn't get his lines in on time, and making DF once again step into the role.

* + In a charity livestream, DF revealed the identity of Mothball's father. It was Cinnamon Stick and Cinnamon Roll's biological father, meaning that Mothball and the Cinnamon siblings are half-siblings.

## Reception

The “Bride Of Discord” series received to generally positive to mixed reviews. The audio dramas Bride Of Discord and Daughter Of Discord have received the same reception. Viewers either loved it,mixed on it or flat out hated it. Bride Of Discord has a lot more criticism than Daughter Of Discord. The main criticisms had with the “Bride Of Discord” series as a whole is with Fluttershy and Discord’s relationship, Discord being way too controlling over Fluttershy and his daughter Screwball and Applejack having romantic feelings for Spike which DF can’t change due to her universe already been established.
