Description

So a friend pointed out that I've never explained the heights of these characters Also my first time drawing them all in their royal outfits!

Methodical Madness, Discord and Celestia's biological daughter, is bloody massive! Alicorn genes and draconequus genes combine to make a taaaaaaall critter. She's a big awkward bundle of limbs, and she's fallen down the stairs of Canterlot Castle an upsetting amount of times.

Alto Stratus, Celestia and Zecora's biological daughter, got all of Celestia's size. Like her other fantastic features, Alto sees her height as just another mark of unbeatable beauty! One would think the girl is compensating for something...

Existential Qrisis, Discord and Zecora's biological son as well as the oldest of the three, inherited his size all from his tiny, mortal mom He's in the habit of crossing his arms or holding them behind his back, which only makes him look tinier amongst his family. Qris insists that he was bigger than both of his little sisters for years!

I'm definitely going to line and color this, but it will take a while, so I wanted to show a preview


Realizing now that I still need to explain how this relationship came to be... welp, gotta start on that, too!

I'm the shortest person in my family, but not by much. Most of the women in my family are short. My grandma and aunt are both 4'11". My younger sister is one of the taller woman, she's 5'4" (plus she always wears spike heals so she appears more like 5'7", 5'8".).

Love that Qrisis is the shortest

I have been wondering how these three got together. I was thinking its was like that one episode of My Name is Earl  where a bunch of side characters were in a phone booth while bees were attacking outside so thinking they are gooing to die they all have an *Taken away by a big hook *

Thank you! He flaunts about being taller than everypony else when he's not at home, lmao.

...you know, I love My Name is Earl, and I love referencing things, but no, no that will not happen. Escpecilaly beacuse I'd probably shove them into Doctor Whooves's TARDIS and make it a horrible three way crossover.

May I tell you how they got together? I'm still working out the kinks, might help me to discuss

Thaaaaank you!! It's strange, I have the hardest time writing him, but every time I manage it he's the most fun to write

Yaaaay!

...why are you the way that you are

THANK YOU--YOU KNOW, I LOVE IT WHEN YOU ASK ME ABOUT MY CHARACTERS, IT MAKES ME HAPPY, AND IT HELPS ME FIGURE THINGS OUT

So the way that Discord and Zecora get together I think I may have mentioned before? Distraught Discord (after breaking up with Fluttershy, but that's another story to work out) stumbles upon her hut in the Everfree, she invites him in, they make chaotic potions all night (which is not a euphemism), and become friends. Over a couple of weeks their friendship grows into attraction, and they begin casually dating. They're together for a few months, really beginning to get serious, when suddenly in a bizarre combination of chaos spells and voodoo... baby is formed Little Qris appears magically out of a cauldron, in a minor explosion! Screaming and panic ensues, and Zecora even slips out of rhyme in her confusion and terror. Discord subsequently slips into rhyme in his confusion and terror.

Neither of them are at all prepared to raise a child, and, because they are still friends, Discord awkwardly seeks out Fluttershy to help them care for the chaotic, dangerous, extremely prone to outburst of dark magic, hybrid child. She does her best to help care for Qris, but ultimately he's too dangerous to keep around her animals, and it's too straining to her friendship with Discord to be helping raise her ex-boyfriend's son with his new girlfriend. Discord and Zecora do their best caring for Qris without help for a few weeks, but his magical outbursts are damaging and dangerous and neither parent is able to figure out a way to control them, at least a way that doesn't risk hurting the baby. The options that they see in front of them are, a) open up the chaos pocket dimension and raise him where he can't hurt anypony, but is isolated from society, b) seek out a powerful and knowledgeable pony for help controlling him. So, they go to Celestia.

Should I continue? I'm still trying to work out how she'll help them figure out how to control him.

Percy-McMurphy In reply to kingofpriderock [2017-03-09 02:35:37 +0000 UTC]

Yay~

Understood



An accidental Power Puff girl. But yes, yes he is. (Thank you, I was so proud of that X3)

Oh! Wait, a bit more background--after Discord and Fluttershy's breakup, he sought out Celestia for comfort, and they spent the night together talking (and I mean just talking ) and becoming closer than they had been in thousands of years (headcanon that they dated as teenagers). In the morning, Discord kissed her, but Celestia gently informes him that a rebound is not what he needs, and, sadly, he agrees. They both have feelings for each other (Discord's being a mix of genuine feelings for her and just trying to get over Fluttershy too quickly, but Celestia's purely genuine), but they don't say it, and then Discord goes on his way, a few weeks later meets Zecora, then all that happens.

ANYWAY, back to where we were, with baby Qris and stuff:

So, Celestia is very surprised to meet Qris, and bothered that she wasn't informed of the creation of a new draconequus--although she can't find any laws that say anypony need alert her when they have a baby. All three dig through the libraries of Canterlot Castle together in the hopes of finding a book with some instructions on how to soothe the infant draconequus' outbursts, and after searching for some time with no luck while each taking shifts watching the baby, Celestia takes the temporary measure of casting a shield spell (one considerably more powerful than Qris' chaos magic could break through) around the baby, in which he can move around in harmlessly. Basically a hamster ball. Over the course of a couple of days, the trio search all of Canterlot's libraries and the Crystal Empire libraries, before Celestia gets the idea to search the libraries from the old Castle of the Two Sisters. In a stroke of luck, they do manage to find ancient instructions on subduing draconequus magic, albeit ones that have to be altered to not take away Qris' magic, merely dulling it until he's old enough to learn to control it.

After several emotionally charged days of nonstop working together, as well as caring for the baby together, a strong, strange bond has grown between the three. The sort of bond you get when you spend time in a war zone with someone, but a bond non the less. Over the course of about a year, Celestia spends more and more time with the couple. At first she just needs to re-cast the spell on Qris daily and make sure there are no side-effects they weren't able to predict... but eventually she's just spending her off hours with Discord, Zecora, and their kid. They evolve into a sort of... strange family unit. Celestia realizes her feelings for both of them before they realize their feelings for her.

Should I continue? It's mostly angst for a while after this

By alligators?

...Wow Let's pretend it was an intentional reference!

()

I like that headcanon especially because it makes their rivalry when Discord was evil more personal

Thank you! I'm glad it works! It's hard for me to think of a logical way for Celestia to meet one romantic partner, so with two I had to get creative

YAAAAAAAAAY Well, Celestia faces a little bit of a crisis. Ancient, wise, and brilliant as she is, this is still a strange situation for her. Her immediate reaction is "oh my god I'm a home wrecker no no no no what is wrong with me," but she quickly gets to work figuring out what she should do. Celestia calmly (read: not calmly, but also not in view of anypony who can see that she isn't calm, and therefor calmly) sorts out her feelings alone. She knows that she is attracted to and has feelings for both Discord and Zecora. She's not disturbed--centuries old pony like herself has seen many cultures and knows what polyamory is--but she is a little surprised that she has feelings for anypony at all. She doesn't exactly get crushes, and having a consort isn't really on her list of things to do. Celestia considers confessing her feelings to the couple. When it comes to Discord... Celestia imagines that if he still has feelings for her, he'd have no qualms with an unusual relationship, he's Discord, his first girlfriend was a chimera if she remembers correctly. But how Zecora would feel, she isn't totally sure. They're friends, good friends now, but the question "would you date two ponies at once" hasn't exactly come up. If she brought up the idea, would Zecora be interested, and if she said yes, would she do so only because Celestia is a princess and you don't say no to the princess if she wants to date you? And what if they were genuinely interested in having a relationship with her, what about the baby, would it be hard for him to grow up even more different than everypony else? Celestia eventually decides that she'd rather not risk ruining the friendship that she has with them, but starts spending less and less time with them.

Poor Discord and Zecora have already excitedly discussed suggesting the idea to Celestia, with no qualms or angst at all! Zecora has even less problems with the idea of polyamory than Celestia does, it's far more common where she comes from than in Ponyville, and Discord... again, he's Discord, being unusual has never not appealed to him. They love her, she's basically a third parent to their son already, and if she shot the idea down, surely they could still go about being friends! No problem! As Celestia starts spending less time with them, the pair hesitate to propose the idea for a moment, but decide that they might as well go for it. A little nervously, the next time that the princess is over to re-cast the spell on Qris, Zecora mentions how much they enjoy spending time with her, and how much little Qris adores her. Less subtly, Discord mentions how lovely it was dating a chimera that one time, but that it sucked that all three individuals were in one body. After much face-hoof-ing from Zecora and dawning realization from Celestia, massive, emotional group hugs ensue~

Side note, this all takes place over the course of about six months

And lastly, because this part isn't so exciting and doesn't need lots of paragraphs, they stay together as boyfriend and girlfriends for a year before deciding to get married, when Qris is two. They're married for a year before Methodical Madness is born

PERFECTION!

I'm glad you're glad the other two had discussed it I figured it would be weird and intrusive if Celestia was the one to suggest it, it would feel... not so romantic, but having Discord and Zecora actively want to be in a relationship with her seemed to make it more... loving somehow.

*watches clip* Yeah I guess I could have done that But since they bond through RAISING A CHILD TOGETHER that probably would have been weird!

He does, doesn't he?

Another time when our place was flooded we found fish bones all over our ranch .Also once there was a forrest fire that turned the sky red and it rained ash.

I am just calm in hindsight .Everyone freaked out when the sky turned red,made even more interesting because  I was at a CHRISTAIN school ...So a lot of the students,including me, thought the rapture had started
