This drawing got right the fact that while Discord barely paid any attention to anypony other than Fluttershy, Celestia did paid attention to Discord.
Well, not quite with love sprouting from her face, but her giggle and implicit approval of Discord antics was a small movement for the dislestia train.
‘While Chappism appreciates British culture and loves tradition, it is nonetheless rooted in the Situationist strand of anarchism with more than the occasional nod to Dada. It is also indebted to Monty Python, Peter Cook, Spike Milligan and Viv Stanshall as much as it is to the avant-garde.’
…thus one can still be ‘Chaotic’, but in a most civilised and agreeably Absurdist manner; and in such a way as to impress the ladies.
@Mr. Bait
Their interaction in the S2 opener was the first time Sunnybuns was put out of her comfort zone, and she’s known to be really calm. So at least we know Discord can push her buttons. Also, it was her idea to release him and it was her idea for him to stop Tirek. So we can’t say there isn’t some level of material between them. But man, there’s no fucking shipping within the show. People should realize that already and stop acting so delusional.
@ArcheoPony
You’re talking about the same people that put them in a ship when they’ve never shown any interest in one another and have no chemistry on top of never actually saying anything to one another outside of Celestia’s openly hostile words when he first broke loose.

Ah, I getcha. It’s one of those ‘Zuko and Katara’s fight formed a heart-shaped attack out of fire and water tru luv confirmed’ type of shipper.
@GekkanShounen
Stepandy is ILoveKimPossibleAlot kind of fangirl. You only need them in the same episode with no interaction to get their confirmation for canonicity.

If Meghan write this then it’s safe from shipping. Outside her love of Discord/Fluttershy friendship and Discord/Twilight foe-yay relationship she doesn’t really have any reccuring theme of interactions.

I know, I know. As a shipper myself, I don’t have any problems with someone else’s shipping behavior, let alone any hangups about the Dislestia ship itself. Apologies if I came across as negative. It’s just that once I saw this pic I followed the links to the actual trailer and paid special attention and in the end I just couldn’t hit the same wavelength as the artist.
