Another fannon destroyed by season 4: The Starswirl the Discorded theory.

Fannon: after Starswirl failed to finish that spell from Magical Mystery Cure because of his lack of having friendship in his life, the disharmony grew within him and, accentuated with his magic prowess,  turned him into a grotesque spirit of chaos: Discord.

Reality: Starswirl existed in between the reign of Discord and the appearence of Nightmare Moon, meaning that Discord was still a rock at the time. Also, if he had somehow really become Discord despite the impossiblility of the timeline, he would have recognized Scorpan's necklace, as he was friends with Scorpan's.
