Prince Du Pain Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 For anyone looking for some grand theory on Harmony vs. Discord... this is not where you are going to find it. This is just something that briefly thought was going to happen while I was reading TLM (but then very quickly realized would not) and thought other people would find interesting to speculate on. Basically, if I am remembering correctly, it seemed that we got the most references to Harmony's dark shadow/Discord from Wayne and specifically during his death sequence. Since the shadow was appearing concurrently with Harmony, I briefly thought that Harmony might split once again, but this time into two different Shards, Harmony AND Discord (both of which would hold a piece of Preservation and Ruin). Since I had this thought during Wayne's death sequence, and Wayne is generally seen as a wild and--dare I say, discordant--character, there was a moment where I thought that Wayne, instead of passing into the Beyond, was going to pick up the fractured Shard of Discord and then the cosmere was going to be plagued with a god-tier level of Wayne's shenanigans for all of eternity. I'm glad this didn't happen, but I do have to say, Wayne holding the Shard of Discord and constantly bothering Harmony would be a very interesting thing to see, especially since Wayne would likely have a very childish/wacky and non-evil interpretation of Discord. And if he ever met Whimsy as Discord... the cosmere would probably be a very different place. Plus I just think it would be funny to see this almost big-brother/little-brother, "I love him"/"I hate him" relationship between Harmony and Discord rather than the irreconcilable polar opposites that they will likely be presented to be. Anyways, I would love to hear other peoples' thoughts on what the cosmere would look like if Wayne was Discord .
