Let's take a break from talking about your love life and talk about Celestia's. Some claim that she and Discord were an item at one point, Any truth to that?

No. Absolutely none at all.

Here’s a problem I have with even suggesting that; it creates sympathy for a monster, when there is none to be had. Discord doesn’t have a tragic backstory, or Freudian excuse, or anything like that. He simply IS chaos. He did what he did not out of some higher purpose, but because he enjoyed the pain and suffering of his reality bending.

That was, in fact, a key part of it, and why he wasn’t merely Pinkie Pie with godly powers. There had to be anguish in order for him to enjoy the chaos. Ponies are very emotional creatures, and so he took particular delight in making us his playthings.

He was also fully aware of the consequences of his actions, as he knew the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. But simply did not care. He simply rejected reality and substituted his own.
