Funny.

Another wonderful explanation fic. XD Fascinating to see how the Tree could be considered evil. Too much of a good thing and all that. :D So, is the Everfree like the last place the ponies haven't drained of magic yet? Is the Tree supporting the non-drain, non-pony needing Forest? Cuz it doesn't sound like that in your continuity. So many questions, I hope you address them one day, my new favorite author. :D

The value words you throw around, like destiny, are fascinating.

Stasis and stability are each aspects of a slot in the Right-Wing Authoritarian quadrant of the 5D personality grid.

Continuation and holding are very closely related conceptually to stasis and stability, and yet sufficiently different that they're in the Gaian quadrant.

Compared to those, harmony isn't anywhere close. It's somewhere in the Moralist quadrant ... in the complementary position.

And of course Discord at the opposite end over in Annealer, he considers RWA and Moralist to be far too closely related for his comfort. Even though Moralists *despise* RWAs because ... RWAs are far too closely related for Moralists' comfort either. :D

Discord did Uplift the ponies and Exalt Celestia and Luna, didn't he? Those are Annealer values.
