"Discords Therapy Visit" A Moment with DRWolf

How do you deal with a patient who can bend all of reality to his will and yet can't seem to believe he's worthy of trust?

One thing I love about Discord is that animators have carte blanche go as crazy as they want. When logic and physics are an opinion that Discord disagrees with, fun is the word of the day.

[@joemaxwel1997]

Indeed

[@tommymarberry3272]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@JesseFerris-e5s]

Discord hates gravity it's a fact

[@zavexcapricious2519]

I honestly like the Idea that Discord has trust issues due to how most ponies see him. When he was first reformed, only Fluttershy ever cared for him, while the other 5 and every other pony barely tolerated him and didn't really see him as a friend and more as a nuisance. Not only did he try to take over equestria, but the way he looks combined with his immense power and unpredictable nature, made it to where ponies, including the mane 6 with the exception of Fluttershy, both hated and feared him because of what he did and how different he was. In my mind, it was because of this that he sided with Tirek, because everypony but Fluttershy barely even tolerated him and treated him like an annoyance instead of a friend, and he was fed up with it. Afterwards, the mane 6 treated him like an actual friend, even though they still find some of the things he does annoying, which supports that theory of him betraying them because of how badly they treated him, and they realized this and started to try to be better friends with him. But even then, everypony else still despised him and reject him, probably even more so than before due to him betraying the little bit of trust he had from them. I honestly feel like even now it is tearing at Discord, because no matter what he does he is still treated like an outcast, everypony but the mane 6 and starlight still refusing to even get within 10 feet of him, much less accept him and see how much he has changed. Despite all their talk of friendship, trust and forgiveness, they have a poor way of showing it when they push away anything that is different than them, things that are outside the norm, with capabilities that they know nothing about and in their mind could be a threat for all they know. Because these creatures, like Discord, are different and have little to nothing know about them, ponies fear and dislike them and keep away because of it. Even though he doesn't show it due to his personality and 'normal' behaviour, I think that deep down he is hurt by the fact that no pony else wants anything to do with them, simply because of how different he is and his past actions. Even after saving equestria, I bet a lot of ponies still don't trust him or want anything to do with him. It is sad when you think about it that way, and I think it is a VERY interesting concept. But that is just my take on it, so take it with a grain of salt :p

[@brigidtheirish]

It would make his tantrum in A Matter of Principals a little more understandable. (That, and I don't think he quite understands how breakable ponies are compared to him, thus the whole bugbear-chasing-the-students incident.)

[@noahkildow4617]

You really thought about this and I love that

Discord kina has his own rule in frendship. Only treat others a they treat you.

[@RealmsCrossMyths]

8:00 D'aww, looks like Fluttershy fixed the claw marks and put Dr. Wolf's nameplate back on the door~. Or someone forgot about continuity…

[@CrownePrince]

Discord fixed everything when he dropped the furniture back in place.

Dawillstanator is best fandom voice of Discord!

[@MsAnimeraven]

that could work

[@harukatakahashi8822]

I disagreed with you, it doesn't really sound like Discord, all I can hear is Dawillstanator

[@MrDoctorVK]

Ohh, I bet he was enjoying every moment for been in the role of Discord.

[@BellaPinkSavage]

StevenUniverseMLP90sFan YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!

[@thesladesterb3vt3co7h]

Haruka Takahashi Seeing as Will did an incredible job as Discord in Daughter of Discord Episode 8, Bride of Discord Episode 10, and Sailor Moon Meets MLP- I disagree. Even in this video, Will did an incredible job as Discord, especially with that epic insane laugh of his.

[@Siluntwolf]

Awesome, even Dr. Wolf managed to get through Discords thoughts of doubt, still you can't blame Discord for who he is. Discord's crazy sometimes, but, fun to be around.

[@DreamDragoness25]

And Oin Lightbringer makes an appearance. XD Congratulations on surviving a therapy session with Discord. Equestria salutes you!

[@capedavenger5446]

Anyone else notice discords eye opening sounds like the portal of truth from fullmetal alchemist

[@shadowldrago]

Caped Avenger That was presumably the idea.

[@autumbreeze1129]

Looked like it too. Pretty sure that was the idea

[@nighthaste4311]

Caped Avenger I noticed

[@capedavenger5446]

If so then that's awsome I luv that anime

[@PramkLuna]

Yes finally someone noticed that

[@padillagamer4675]

LOL! this is why discord is my favorite mlp character LOL!

[@bandicootsauce4569]

Is it good to be helping? Yes. Is it good to be a therapist in Equestria? Only if there's a therapist for the therapist waiting in the wings. Lol!

[@coolio104]

Wow, Dawillstanator and Katie Patterson are amazing as Discord and Fluttershy. I will definitely check out their channels! Thank you, Dr. Wolf.

[@baliyae]

This is one of my favorite Dr. Wolf videos. Discord is a lot of fun, and DaWillstanator voices him perfectly.

[@_flobbernasher3723]

During guys night is he playing as Oin Lightbringer? That's Dr. Wolf's character for his Brony D&D campaign

[@amegenshiken]

That's what I'm wondering as well. If it is, that sounds awesome!

[@benberlin57]

And then Dr. Wolf gets a letter from a slightly irritated Celestia in regards to her castle becoming a huge block of rather pungent cheese.

[@Soultail]

Ha! That would be epic and flies everywhere is the icing on the cake

[@GodIAdore]

Great job dr. Wolf even you can have the therapy visit with the Lord of Chaos.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Yes it's here,DRWolf this is the best therapy session with an mlp character you've done yet and the artwork as well as the animation is just absolutely flawless and incredible it i love it.

[@ebany2244]

[@MrMynameis12]

Thespio was a good choice to voice Discord.

[@DaylightTwinkle]

niall corcoran he’s gone from to just a normal Thomas KZbin to our official voice for discord for this fandom lol! John de Lancie was good but thespio does a great job too!

[@MLPREDMAN1340]

Now that gave me a pick me up when I felt down. Thank you DRWolf. I hope to finally meet you at BronyCon 2019

[@VentesDemon]

"Festering is destructive. Forgivness is divine." Those words are so powerful, it got me to write a comment. Thank you, Dr. Wolf for the video and strong message on trust.

[@Inoysha]

Well, well, well... If it isn't everyone's favorite fan Draconequus. Dawiscordnator!^w^ And... Oin Lightbringer?! OMG The OC's OC's are coming true! Quick hide your Wifu's, hide your kids, hide your plushies!O_O

[@star-stonelegend]

The animation REALLY suits discord’s therapy visit. Most of the time I was like 🤩🤩 and then I was 😥😥 and the at the end I was 😆😆. I will have to admit I seriously thought discord was going to break the fourth wall and mention stuff like the bride and daughter of discord stories (like the mlp meets sailor moon). Still it’s nice. Looking forward to you next therapy visit doctor.

[@bandicootsauce4569]

I went into this thinking, 'Good luck, Doc. You're gonna need it.' And as soon as that plaque fell off the door, I knew I had understated that. Lol!

[@BenLWolf]

Ironically, as someone WITH paranoia... I've found that the safest course in my life remains "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you". I still believe there's a very healthy level of mistrust and suspicion to be had, particularly in the work place and around people you don't know.

[@lazlow8788]

Discord will always be Discord. Sure someone of the thing he does can seem a bit devious and childish, but that's just his character. He enjoys messing with ponies and creatures. It's why we love him so much.

[@meemietheeevee4400]

Props to Crowne Prince for all this creative artwork and to Starbat for the effects and audio cues! I can tell this was an ambitious project to undertake given the chaotic spells Discord displays here! Great job, guys! Also… Arbitrary Inference, a common cognitive distortion, is when a person infers and assumes something to be true without proper evidence to form a conclusion. For example, a person may infer that their friend doesn’t want to see them whereas there is no evidence to be sure of that. So, the person may avoid their friend to prevent that encounter(Beck 1963). YES!!! This is such a good message to convey, that jumping to conclusions can interfere with relationships! I think a lot of people do that. Many automatically assume people won’t like them or don’t want to be around them, so they enter a sense of helplessness and don’t even try. The best way to resolve it is to give people another chance and put yourself out there, like how DrWolf encourages Discord to reconnect with Celestia. Doc and Starbat, you both get a cookie for conveying empirically supported theories in a fan-made youtube series!

[@Starbat88]

Meemie the Eevee Thanks for your insights Meemie. I'm happy to know our writing (at least this time) was psychologically accurate. :)

[@meemietheeevee4400]

Yeah, definitely! And, boy, was this entertaining to watch with all the special effects and audio!

[@Starbat88]

Well, thank you. :3

[@TheStarryArcher1213]

This was very interesting! The visuals fit beautifully with Discord's chaotic energy and made him look very animated (in more than one meaning of the word). My favorite part was when he manifested himself as a drawing. What you said about trust really struck a chord with me. When a person is genuinely trying to recover from a negative experience-as one who was hurt or as one who hurt others-it's painful and disheartening when others don't believe in them. And if one is regarded with suspicion and scorn, then it wouldn't be strange for one to become wary and bitter toward others in return. Thanks for sharing this with us! ^_^

[@cameronjsmith7382]

Awesome video Dr Wolf I always look forward to every video you do :)

[@travissmith2848]

That was fun. And congrats to Thespio, close enough to a performer that is hard to match is quite the accomplishment. And on an in-universe note: I'd not worry too much Dr., Celestia like the occasional dose of strange as it keeps things entertaining.

[@fermintenava5911]

That's actually a very clever observation: Discord has a big problem just being honest. Whether it's the Galloping Gala or being substitute headteacher, he never expresses his issues directly.

[@nicke9012]

That went a lot better than I expected.

Great video. Discord was my most wanted character to have one of your sessions, and it didn't disappoint. And I really love the animation. I've always loved Crown Prince's art style.

[@Nazo-kage]

I felt it was interesting with discord's response when Teri's betrayed him. I think he had thought he had finally made friends with a kindred spirit someone who excepted all sides of him, and didn't want him to feel like he needed to restrain himself at all. Besides discord had always thought of himself as a master trickster, but that interaction had showed that he had never been on the receiving end.

[@Hawbitten]

"Festering is destructive. Forgiveness is divine" Wise words Doctor Wolf.

[@dragoncross42]

This was a fun and interesting video, glad to see a look into how Discord would go though a therapy visit and how he is really feeling about things, got to say nice idea for a video. I do hope he comes back to visit DRWOLF for another Therapy visit. Loved this video!

I get the impression that Dr. Wolf analyzes only what we've seen on the show. We know precious little about Vinyl or Octavia, so that video would be either short or padded with fanfiction.

This may be my favorite AMWDW in a while! I was already excited at the idea of a Discord session, and this definitely delivered something entertaining. Will's performance as Discord is still a delight and keeps getting better, the writing is excellent with a great idea for what would trouble Discord enough to talk to Dr Wolf about, and the animation is just remarkable. Crowne Prince really gave Discord's chaos all the energy it requires (and the way she draws Discord is so flipping cute!). Every snap of his fingers put something on the screen that made me smile or laugh. Just like Discord in the show itself. A great collaborative effort from all involved! This is a video I'll be coming back to a lot.

[@MichaelaAquilina]

Discord is like the My Little Pony version of Beetlejuice (the cartoon version). Especially when Discord transformed into a butterfly and saying he's a social butterfly, sort of referencing BJ's literal translations! Heck, Discord and Fluttershy's dynamic is similar to that of BJ and Lydia in the cartoon!

[@Ingram-Ironhide]

Nice job once again Thespio. You are my favorite Discord voice.

This was the best! My favorite peeps both together, and best arts it in the making! I loved the lesson here about forgiveness and to trust your feelings and to talk to those you have wronged and to talk things through even when unsure, and Discord is best chaotic doctor :)

[@doctorhunter5553]

Discords issue is relatable to many people and i do have similar issue with discord since i always restrict myself from having a nice conversation to prevent myself from being rude,blunt and being unable tl confess and express my depression to someone i trust not even doctors can assure that i can trust them.

Oh boy. A Therapy visit with Discord? Well this is going to be out there. Seriously though, great job with this guys.

[@EvilPaladin11]

It's been a while since I've seen CrownePrince's animation style, but it's fluidity brought me back to some of his early the high action animations. Like the one where he recreated a scene from Clone High, but with ponies. Also the one where Discord was trying to break out of cuffs. Which left me oddly disappointed that Doc didn't burst through the window behind Fluttershy to flee when he found out that he would be talking to Discord. Yes, I know that running from a patient would be waaaaaay OOC for Dr. Wolf, and I know that colored animation is hard and time consuming. It's just that the intersection of the fluid animation style, the animator's previous work, Doc's nervousness, and the clear path between Dr. Wolf and the window, led me to believe that Doc was going to 'Nope' out of there. I liked this episode. Well acted Fluttershy and Discord. I tend to prefer the "A moment with" episodes where Doc has to wrangle the guest a bit and he gets frustrated and annoyed along the way. Also, it's a little weird seeing Doc move around on all fours, when he usually moves around bipedally in all of the other art styles.

[@melodysketchdraws]

They way Fluttershy said 'no' was extremely on point
