Not to mention he’s probably traumatised by being turned to stone twice. You can not tell me he didn’t have a panic attack after being turned to stone again for the second time. I would get into what i believe are the effects of the trauma but im too lazy rn lol.
Ok but that other post actually gave me the idea that like, Discord is actually slightly traumatized from the multiples times he had his magic taken away throughout the show.
Especially when one of those memories is connected to Tirek, a guy who's actions veeery closely mirror that of an abuser's. (Plus, Discord probably looks at the whole of that memory with a lot of Bad Thoughts tm) it's easy to imagine Discord getting discomforted at things that may remind him of those memories.
So anyways Discord probably like...flinches a bit if say, somebody picks him up using magic, or if they start using magic pointed at him. Nobody notices because his reactions are small, or just him showing slight discomfort that could be chalked up to being picked up or whatever the context of the situation is around him. (because this isn't like a Huge thing, but it's still discomforting to him if that makes sense)
And every once in a while he'll get a bad dream about it, maybe. Maybe not necessarily always like...a nightmare, but a dream that definitely makes him feel uncomfortable when he wakes up, and then he just kind of feels...off.
Just something to think about.
