Derpy is the only Derpy. Screwball is Screwball, silly. |

@HeinousActsZX Correction, Derpy new best friend and/or Dinky's aunt. |
| Lockstep #496037 10 months ago |
Also, she loves pie like Derpy loves muffins. |

no. she isn't even like that normally. why is she being so hyped? I don't actively dislike her but I don't particularly like her either. we don't NEED another derpy, and this is a sad replacement for derpy anyway. |
| Glord #496046 10 months ago |
I smell a new Background Pony.
I'm putting my 2 cents in that she's Derpy's cousin. |
| Anonymous #496049 10 months ago |
I mean, if all she's gonna be is pink derpy, there's no point. |
| your_waifu #496050 10 months ago |
lol it's derpy trying way to hard
she is the carrot top (the comedian not the pony) of derpys |
| NightJack #496052 10 months ago |
Silly anon, we're not talking about replacing Derpy, just that she is like her. |

but she isn't like derpy. this isn't her normal self. this is her discord'd self |
| Wrongness #496072 10 months ago |
Thanks I was looking for references for Screwball. |
| Lockstep #496080 10 months ago |
I'd be surprised if we ever saw Screwball in the show again. With a cutie mark like hers, what could she possibly be like when normal? A pony baseball player?
Most likely she's a one-shot joke. That doesn't mean, however, that the fanon has to end. |
| NightJack #496084 10 months ago |
No anon, she is like Derpy, Derpy started as nothing but a background pony that people started to like for the way she looked(the derp eyes) and it's the same with Screwball. |
| Marrock #496087 10 months ago |
She's related to Diamond Tiara. |
| Glord #496103 10 months ago |
@067 So Discord changed her cutie mark also?
And you are familiar with this fanon right? |
| Kanrabat #496106 10 months ago |
Fanfic about her in 3...2...1....... |
| PonyPuffy #496107 10 months ago |
^This, she's the black sheep of that stuck up little filly's family |
| Anonymous #496110 10 months ago |
>implying that she is always derp eyed and that the derp eyes arent' also part of discord's manipulation
either way, the fanon that is being built is essentially pink derpy. that is just redundant and pointless. I'm fine with her being a fanon character, but have some creativity guys. |
| Glord #496120 10 months ago |
Also if she was Discorded, she's be greyed. |
| cthulhlu #496133 10 months ago |
actually dicord had nothing to do with this, she was just high as fuck. |
| NightJack #496140 10 months ago |
Um.. from the fanon I'm seeing of her, she is a mid point between Pinkie and Derpy and family to Diamond Tiara. |
| Lockstep #496196 10 months ago |
The huge difference between Screwball and Derpy is that she was made on purpose to pass through the foreground as a joke. Derpy can blend in with background ponies because she looks relatively normal, but Screwball stands out.
Screwball is not a background pony at all. She's more like Vinyl Scratch or Octavia--she's a pony that fits into the context we see her in. |

| YenaMuffin #496241 10 months ago |
Screwball is a creation of Discord's chaos, much like the ballet buffalo. |
| Anonymous #496243 10 months ago |
Nope. Not Derpy related, she's totally Diamond Tiara's crazy mother/ older sister/ or aunt. v

What Muffin said.
She's Discord's creation and therefore qualifies as his daughter! Yay! /clap |
| HerbieHero #496259 10 months ago |
The main problem I have with this pony being like this normally is that if she is, it negates the purpose of her appearance. She shows up during a scene demonstrating how chaotic things are due to Discord's influence--if she's like that normally, she's not illustrating anything about Discord's power because, well, she'd be like that anyway. As for the cutie mark, it's unlikely that it has some other meaning, but it's not impossible that Discord changed it by magic. Twilight Sparkle was able to make Apple Bloom's cutie mark appear temporarily earlier in the series, and every time she repeated the spell, it was a different mark. Discord's magic is much more powerful than Twilight's, so it's not impossible that he'd be able to maintain such a change indefinitely--and it's also not impossible that it wasn't a permanent change. As for why he just chose one pony to do that too, well, he's the embodiment of chaos. In that context, it makes perfect sense for him to randomly choose one pony and make her, well, a total screwball. |

I figure, where Derpy is more ditzy, Screwball would be more bat-shit crazy. |

Derpy derps. Screwball can just be completely retarded. |
| Anonymous #496939 10 months ago |
She's quite possibly an even bigger reality-warper and 4th wall-breaker than Pinkie.
And yes, that is scary when you think about it. I also like the idea that she was created by Discord, but I doubt she disappeared when he got "Rainbow of Light'd". I doubt she would have any of his malice and jerkassery, but all of his powers at a more minor scale. Gee, all this speculation over a 3-second pony... We are truly something, aren't we? |
| Anonymous #497330 10 months ago |
Its a pony from G3-3.5 or atleast an reference to something. Her design standsout way too much for being just an BGpony. Look at those soulless button eyes. Thats no hypnosis. That cutie mark cant be real. Her mane is unique, but not overblown nor crazy. If she was ment to present us with chaos her design would have been closer to that of an O.C with stripes and horns.
She even looks directly at us! That pony has to be an reference. |
| relias #497561 10 months ago |
Thing is, she's really not that much like Derpy. Derpy's all cutely confused/clumsy, whereas Screwball is more openly just totally nuts. I'm absolutely completely expecting her to never show up in the show again at least in this form, at most there'll be a background pony with her design but probably a different cutiemark and everything. But I love her colors and hairstyle and I love the idea of a totally, completely insane pony that makes even Derpy and Pinkie look lawful neutral. |

Oh god, she doesn't even have wings and she's flying |
| Anonymous #499168 10 months ago |
Hold on a second here! This is the fandom that created entire histories for background characters that have none, gave them families and children.
But now the first new bg pony of season 2 is being denied one by some of you. What's up with that? |

I'd be fine she's just normally a non-derp-eyed prankster who just runs the local prank shop that Pinkie goes too. We already have a Derpy after all, and a Pinkie Pie prankster as well at that. |
