I suppose the argument could be made that when Discord was Ruler of Equestria, the "royal voice" was to speak in a way that matched modern speech, and the Royal junk Luna was speaking developed after she and Celestia took over, but I just thought it was funny that Discord was away longer than Luna was and managed just fine. |

Was Discord ever a Royal? |

>implying anything about Discord makes sense at all |

Then again Luna was "in sleep mode" and Discord wasn't or claims wasn't. |

Discord was still trapped on earth and was totally conscious when he was a statue, so he probably picked it up from people wandering around him, talking. |

1. Discord was never royalty
2. He was still aware when petrified, and would have been exposed to modern language |
| Anonymous #590572 9 months ago |
Well he picked up the Mane 6's personalities and names without ever having been exposed to them.
He's just a higher order of being then Luna is. |

^Discord Was Ruler(without Royal Title) of Equestria before the princesses defied him |

Discord did a lot of things that made me question exactly how much he really knew (the whole nudging applejack when getting to the no cheating part of his game, the little back where you began riddle referring to the book, the very first thing seen in the series) so it really wouldn't surprise me if he just 'knew' how to speak properly even after being imprisoned. Besides he also somehow knew Italian. |
| Anonymous #590615 9 months ago |
two theories.
one: he was still aware wile stoned or able to perceive parts of the world beyond his location. Two: He was busy messing with starship captains and simply assimilated the current language when he got back. |

where are people getting the "he was conscious inside the statue" thing? can someone provide the quote in-episode that backs this up? |
| bamakid1272 #590639 9 months ago |
I think Luna didn't always speak that way, she was only doing it as part of the regal act. This whole time, she's been trying to learn how to be "Proper Royalty" to better her image. Of course, she went to the books instead of her sister, so the "Ye Olde King's English" came with it. I'm expecting the next time she shows up (WHICH BETTER BE THIS SEASON) it'll be gone. |

@#590632: It probably comes from Discord saying it was quite lonely being imprisoned in stone combined with all the knowledge he seemed to have about the Mane Six in spite of just being freed. |
| Anonymous #590728 9 months ago |
Discord knew a lot of what went on, including the elements of each of the mane cast, and he remarked on it being lonely in his stone prison, true.
I think he was likely aware, to some extent, and he observed speech patterns and such changing over time. |

| McGack #591862 9 months ago |
discord was in a statue and could probably hear everything going on around him, Luna was on the moon with nothing |
| Anonymous #591883 9 months ago |
Maybe he always spoke like that. |

The way I see it:
Possibility 1: He was aware on some level while petrified Most likely scenario: "What fun is there in making sense?" |
| Anonymous #614156 9 months ago |
I sort of imagine that Discord's prefered method of speaking is a complete random jumble of sounds... After all, what could be more chaotic than complete random jibberish?
But, of course, that method leads to some problems- so Discord adapts for the sake of his fun. |
