Damn, that comic is kinda sad, but in a good way, y'know.

Watch this:

Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.74

This is pre-WWII. You can sort of tell from the sketch style, from thee way it refers to Japan (Japan in the 1950s was still rebuilding from WWII), the spelling of Tokyo, lots of details. Nothing obvious... except that the upper right hand corner of the page reads "November 1931." --- Simon_Jester

While I can appreciate the artistic skill behind this, the whole Celestia/Discord romance thing still bugs me and I am pretty much compelled to voice my dislike of this piece of fanon when I see it. :|
This one, on the other hand, is pretty much awesome in every way. :D

Yeah, you made that pretty clear the first time around. :D When I ship ponies, it's really only for the sake of enjoying fanart and fiction, not because I get anything intrinsic out of the exercise.

I have embarked on a righteous crusade to expel the Celestia/Discord shipping from the Internets, what can I say?

That you're a gigantic killjoy? :P Very few 'ships' make sense to me. Don't mean people can't have fun with them if they like.

Well, normally I don't care that much about ships, because hey people are silly about that.

I just tend to draw the line at Celestia/Discord. Because the whole hero/villian thing is just nonsensical. Either that or it's people who want to push Trollestia somehow because, well, guess who originally sealed him away with help from her sister? That and probable attempts at making him somehow a sympathetic villian for no real reason. I'm all for sympathetic villian backstories, but only where they fit. Chaos God, well...sorry, but not buying it. He is what he is, and it ain't some harmless misunderstood romantic spurned by the woman he loved.

tl;dr: ponies are srs bzns

The problem is that we only sort of see both characters in a support role, not in a more direct role.

I still wish there will be an episode centered around the sisters (ie, as in, they are in it for most of it, not just mentioned).

EDIT: Another problem is that we know fairly little about Discord, or how to play his character in love.
Which is a bit sad really, because there is definitely potential regarding the idea of two demi-gods in love.

And just to assuage RogueIce's earlier dismay, some conflict between Celestia and Discord:
Discord - Felixattchar

Commission- Discord - XxshirushixX

Human Discord and Celestia - Nouveau-Charles (Ok, this one's somewhat ambiguous)

Picturing Discord as a boss in a fighting game (like "Fighting is Magic") :

1 - keeps changing the rules at the worst moments for you
2 - return the environment against you
3 - use confusion attacks (reversed controls => "up" = "down", "left" = "right" ; changing combos ; etc...)

Exploitable weakness : weakness against a certain type of attack that keep changing randomly during the fight ?

It's simply more likely that a, they are babies and some of Pinkie's jokes just flies by their heads and b, they are more exposed to Pinkie than most other ponies and thus are more used to some of her antics.

I don't know, I quite like the idea of it. But then I imagine it more as: Celestia falls for Discord, but no he's just toying with her, and ditches her at the worst possible time.

"B-but I thought you loved me-"
"Oh, don't be silly Celestia. How could anyone love you?"

So whenever I see those pictures I imagine that it's just part of Discord's plan to destroy her spirit.
Super-duper bonus, maybe Luna recognised what a scumbag Discord was and tried to warn her sister, but of course this only fuelled arguments...

Agreed.
