Dromedaverse Mlp AU: current lore
Q and A (Updated 2.0)
Decided to rewrite this post with the current lore I've shared for Q&A's which have been very fun to answer.
Main points: Discord and Andromeda: He never actually considered children until this point in his life and legitimately had one inside him. He ends up sort of rolling with it. He later admits he has not a god damn idea what hes doing, how to be a parent and that he's probably very unfit for it as his own insecurities and concerns came to haunt him. He developed massive doubts about being a father.
Had hid the fact he ended up pregnant by magical means for 7 months from the others
Despite his doubts he absolutely loves and adores his daughter. Hes very dotting to her.
Discords living the single father life with his daughter. Extremely protective over her especially with the fact shes the only child he'll ever have in his enternal life and Starswirl attempted infanticde.
Draconequii only ever birth one offspring in their entire lives. Discord being the only Draconequus alive produced his one and only child, Andromeda.
Andromeda has no biological mother. Discord's essentially both "mother" and father to Andromeda as he was pregnant with her. He created her via magic as all draconequii have done in the past via flux Crystal that they consume to gestate a baby. He wanted to experiment and toy with the concept not intending to actually commit to fatherhood. He inadvertently stumbled into it
He didnt really take the pregnancy serious until the physical signs started showing between 6 to 7 months months in. His initial denial of expecting a child he subconsciously ignored any early signs of it until he felt a baby kick. He was essentially forced to acknowledge his young.
Discord has commitment issues, more specifically around romance due to a certain ex-girlfriend of his who caused nasty trauma from abuse, using him, controlling him taking advantage of his powers. All of which translated into why it was so hard to maintain later friendships during his redemption arc. As a result he wants nothing to do with romance in the slightest.
Instructions unclear regurgitates his baby when it was time. It wasnt on his bingo card.
His pregnancy lasted 19 months. Draconequus are such an ancient species and magically powerful creatures they're gestation periods are longer than most. He experiences magical shuffled mode, meaning his magic has unpredicted outcomes he doesnt do intentionally. (concept of what I mean)
His cravings were the most out of pocket things ever much like standard cravings. Like a cosmic brownie made of the cosmos and certain meat related things.
Discord has zero intentions to tell Andromeda some old delusional unicorn tried to kill her when she was in the womb.
Starswirl planted the paranoia of other attempts to kill/take his daughter from him since he was so hell bent on it previously. Discord never leaves Andromeda alone or out of his sight nor will he let others near his wheezy baby. If he leaves his home shes strapped to his chest in a sling.
Andromeda was born with Bilateral vocal cord paralysis that made her struggle to thrive after birth she was lethargic and made little noise outside of her wheezy breathing.
Despite being seen by doctors they only alleviated her conditon slightly to a form of Unilateral paralysis the damage was too severe to completely correct. Discord took what he could get. At least she'd survive.
Andromeda mainly has a weak cry or a breathy/wheezy voice quality. A mild stridor; noisy, high-pitched breathing especially when upset. Some minor swallowing difficulties. Discord figured out how to manage and handle her paralysis rather well.
It will later develop into taking frequent pauses while speaking, often breathless after a while of constant talking. Voice straining and vocal fatigue.
She has ferret behavior tendencies; energetic, hyper-curious, high risk activity little kid. She is rather mild mannered and calm most of the time seemingly almost aloof she manages to keep her chaotic ferret like behavior tendencies in check. Just as whimsical and theatrical as her father
Andromeda often makes ferret "duking" happy noises whenever she sees her father she also has ferret behavior; energetic, hyper-curious, high risk activity gremlin. Alternating between wild, playful "zoomies" aka weasel war dance and incredibly deep sleep which has scared Discord more than once especially with her breathing troubles.
Shes also a bit mischievous and likes to stash things and is a bit of an escape artist at times.
Starswirl has made his distaste toward Discord and Andromeda is so garingly obvious, it's no secret of seeing her as an abomination that shouldn't exist. He finds Discord extremely ill-equipped, unfit, unorthodox, and far too irresponsible to raise a child. Starswirl doesn't believe villains can be reformed (especially Discord, Chrysalis, and Tirek). A sort of stuck in the old days and way of thinking. Unable to adapt to the current modern world unlike the rest of the pillars. He attempts to commit infanticde by poisoning Discord when he was pregnant. Starswirl never admitted to it nor was there any solid proof he did it when he did even when confronted.
Starswirl was never truly convicted of infanticde and disappointed the child wasn't a still birth. His behavior is now being monitored by the royal princesses after they visted Discord when his daughter was born
Twilight when she heard Discord magically conceived a baby she is extremely curious and especially keen on studying him this baby of his and his species as a whole. This is the first ever draconequus to be born in eons.
She had been reading up on typical pony pregnancy metrics and is comparing it to his blabbing on and on to him about it so caught up in the facts and statistics that she frequently ambushes him with questions, research notes, examinations.
Discord entertained her nerdy research begrudgingly he knows if he denies her she'd just pester him about it anyway.
He later adopts a pony disguise to avoid being seen by Twilight. It works for a several weeks until Fluttershy accidently admited this new pony Twilight's seen around town is actually Discord in disguise now wondering; Will the baby inside change along with him? Does she adapt to whatever he does when he changes forms or is she the same?? What happens when he does various movements like distortion, contorting himself, bending in weird ways, changing forms, transform into various inanimate things.... etc.
Seasons 8 and 9 do not exist. The MLP flim StormKing invasion happens within the au however I haven't decided when in lore it happens there are two ideas with various potential that I'm playing with.
