You know, that moment wasn’t the last time we saw Discord. We don’t have to guess if he went after her or not. The recent Smooze episode clearly shows that he have no interest in Celestia. You would think that he could at least once tried to get her attention if he liked her more, but the flower scene were clearly meant for 2 things:
 
  1. Act as an apology so the writers won’t be forced to adress the betrayal in the future(that’s why they allowed IDW comic to adress it in the future Luna/Discord comic). Headwriter of the show even confirmed the meaning of those flowers.
     
  2. Set up the conflict in the Smooze episode. It made Fluttershy think that since she accepted the apologies, there would be no problems with inviting Discord to the gala. And thus she invited Tree Hugger.
     
    So the only meaningfull interactions would be Celestia enjoying his jokes and being mercyfull toward his actions of betrayal and mayhem, and thats a basis for onesided ship

Yeah but no one cared about that. I could pick one flower out of the ground and give it to my aunt or something.
 
He gave Celestia a full bouquet of flowers that shined and had the colors of every mane six member on each petal. It showed that he knew who she was. That must have meant he made them himself for her rather than the one little flower he just poofed up or picked.

ikr? This is such a small moment in the show and their acting like it has serious implications.
 
An artist likes it, they draw it their own way, people who like it enjoy it, leave a positive comment and move on… but then others come in yelling:

and it ALL goes downhill from there.

Interesting concepts, but they completly change Discord’s timeline by turning him a child.  
And the IDW comic’s cat?
 
There is a fan comic about the reformed Discord. You can find it with the ‘find yourself’ tag if you don’t know it. ( my fave comic and the only one what I read… :D )  
It’s not too far from the show’s Discord. Well, a little more reformed Discord.

Oh there are some headcanons, there is the popular one where Discord turned into child and Fluttershy raise him. I think it spawned a tumblr blog and even few animations like “Friend like me” and “Chip of Discord”. Basically throughout my “career” in this fandom the only depiction i seen in his fan art and especially in every fanfic is that he is either treated like her peer (mostly shipped or just a platonic friend) or as her child (there is even a mother’s day fanfic about them) but i never seen or read Discord to be mature enough to actually parent any of the Mane6.  
And i think it’s better this way, the IDW comics had a character implying that he have a crush on her and she even became hostile toward Fluttershy, so i don’t want to imagine any Uncle having a crush on his niece, and especially not in Son/Mother relationship. It wouldn’t feel right, just like Twilight/Spike shipping

My thought is he acts like ‘uncle troll’ all the times. Also with Fluttershy. Mail, tea party. Not so childish things…
 
I cant find Discord as Fluttershy’s adopted son. Only Fluttershy and Discord’s son… :D

The main problem that there is no way to show a non-vocal apology without an obvious symbol to represent it. Flowers are the only gift in our culture that could be used in that scene and understood by kids, if he gave her an olive branch or white dove, no one would understand it and would still question the writers if Discord going to be forgiven for his deeds. Roses or candies would be interpreted as shipping tease. But surely not flowers with colors reflecting mane6.  
You personally see him treating mane6 as children and Princesses as equal. However i see him less mature and treating mane6 as his peers while i could expect Discord to blow a raspberry at Celestia when she turn around, just like an immature troublemaking kid toward his aunt. Then there’s a lot of people who even see him as Fluttershy’s adopted son. That’s what great about immortal spirit, is that he doesn’t need to mature with age since this is a trait meant for creatures that actually age (mind and body). So with that in mind, different people may interpret him in different ways. Just because of that, director of Equestria Girls said that his character can’t be reflected in human form. And basicaly all of his humanizations where he is an elder, middle aged or a teenager are correct at the same time.

Discussing the show or characters is usually about presenting arguments and confronting other ideas. We don’t necessary discuss this actual picture but Discord as a whole. It’s not a flamewar.

Discord handed her flowers with a wink in the show. This artist likes the dislestia ship and recreated it with a romance twist with a comical reaction from Luna and Cadence.
 
There REALLY isn’t that much more to be discussed here.

I didn’t say that it’s a shipping flower, I said that the gesture is clearly different from the mane six’s apology. Looks like apology to the kids, and apology to a women. That wink is unmistakable despite the fact that’s not meant to be shipping. We know that.
 
Discord had wise moments. He flipped the elements of harmony to the opposites in s02. He sent back Twilight to the forest in the s4 opener. And he marked the key pages personally for each of the mane5 from the journal.  
I think in the ’Three’s a Crowd’ he just had fun.  
He is an immortal spirit. He is childish and wise at once because of his power. He’s just chaotic. He acts like an uncle with Twilight. Boop, face touching, dance, etc.
 
But I don’t think he can see the future. In the comics (‘B’ canon I know) he had a timetravel machine.
 
But he can travel trought dimensions. That was cool… :D
 
His character became more like a genie.

he isn’t seeing future or being clever, he was just trying to be a prick in S4 premiere and TaC. There was no secret lesson. He only tried to help her open the box because he felt bad about her when he heard her song. Maybe he knew something about secret power inside the Tree of Harmony and that’s why he planted the plunde seeds, but i doubt he knew exactly what that was.  
And him figuring out the answer for the box didn’t make sense. He point out important things in her journal but he himself said that he is new to this whole friendship thing in “Make new friends but keep Discord” and can’t understand the basics of it. So it’s mostly just another of many inconsitencies between Levinger and Meghans’ Discord (just like Levinger forgot that Discord should already expect Fluttershy to think that she’s his only friend because he literally said so in Keep Calm and flutter On but i guess she woudn’t be able to push Smooze into the episode without this plot point)

Those are interesting observations.
 
I’m probably gonna be coming out of left field, but anyone else get the feeling that Discord is Twilight’s foil? He’s the one that gave Twilight the last key to open the chest, he’s the one ultimately telling her that her role ultimately is up to her and doesn’t have to change the status quo, and honestly I don’t know what in the hell was he teaching in ‘Three’s a Crowd’ because that was a huge foreshadowing to the season finale. In essence, he already can see what is gonna happen, and other than Celestia and Luna, he can literally warp time and space to his whim (that’s his special talent, if you wish)
 
And even from the first episode of season 2, I just get that he already had a hunch that the Element of Magic was active once again, like in ancient times. Why else would he be so nutty to Twilight??

He doesn’t see them as kids, he is more immature than them. And he gave multiply bouquets to Celestia and to other Princesses. It wasn’t there to ship tease them. None of the writers care about this shipping nor their age or their size. People need to stop talking out of their headcanon. No one in the reactions who wasn’t already shipping them even thought about this being a tease nor their interaction at the Gala. Both Larson and Jim even tweeted that they have no interest in any fan ship and that none of them will ever be referenced in the show. Meghan herself said that flower scene was not a tease either but simple apology. And she was sure about that, no “maybe’s” or “i leave it to you imagination”

That was a funny episode because Discord’s wise words helped out the mane six to open the rainbow chest but Discord gave the power and the chance to Tirek. Discord’s betrayal and Tireks necklace was the last key.  
Then the tree gave back Discord’s power. The princesses nor the mane six can’t punish Discord. Only the tree. Well, they can banish him in words. But actually Discord’s friendship was the last key.
 
When Discord gave the flower to Celestia, the events was over and they celebrated the new castle. Hug for the ‘kids’ (mane six), flower and wink for Celestia.  
Let the rainbow remind you and that was a rainbow colored flower. Friendship, I’m changed, etc. So the flower scene was separated when everypony was happy.
 
The shippers like the DiscordxCelestia, because they are centuries-old, immortal, wise magical creatures. Do not look for logic in the drawings, they just draw the scenes as they want it to see. It’s just an art.
 
The wink shows that Discord sees Celestia as a women while he sees the mane six as kids because of the age difference. This is a normal point of view in a kid’s show.
 
Other princesses not received anything.

Why do you think he wasn’t forced? It owuld be obvious that he would apologize to her and other Princesses. Why it’s such a big deal for shippers? Were they just expecting him to just shrug it off and ignore the fact that he send them to tartarus for entire day? The fact that he apologized to everyone is the only reason he was not punished at all (except not getting a throne)
