#i'm gonna make sure discord's au design is good just to spite vivzie

Do you ever plan on including Discord in the Grand Galloping 20s AU? (sorry im a big fan of discord lol)

Designing him now.

Actually, I should talk about him for a bit because there are some design considerations I wanna voice beforehand.

I'm taking inspiration from famous black performers and artists of the early 1900s such as Cab Calloway and Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog (because it's just too good not to). As such, I'm ditching his British accent and making Discord Louisiana Creole. Rather than a draconequus, he'll be a "demon" (The male variant of the witch species of magical beings. Like witches, demons are neither good nor bad in nature.).

(This particular costume of Discord's that he wears to a 1920s jazz club in the show was chief inspiration for this design direction.)

While I'm excited to tinker with this idea, I'm gonna have to be very mindful not to call upon imagery of minstrelsy and blackface performances (especially since this is set in the 20s). Given how exaggerated and comical Discord is, it would be easy to fall into that trap.

Just some things to look out for for myself. Let me know what you think.
