Pinkie Pie: Soooo… what should I do for my curse? What's sorta the goal here?
Discord GM: To let the others know something's wrong… and to have fun with Pinkie Pie's character!
Pinkie Pie: Fun? But I already have fun with her.
Discord GM: Are you sure? Not holding any extra wackiness back?
Pinkie Pie: Not really. Pinkie's already, like, where my wackiness lives. And I don't really want to roleplay, like, unhealthy levels of wack. Let's just say I've kinda gone off the deep end before… and I don't wanna go back.
Discord GM: Aww, Pinkie… Let's try going in the other direction, then. What if you invert Pinkie's character traits?
Pinkie Pie: Wait… That's it! I'm gone for a while, and then the next time my friends see me… I'm talking in a rough, gravelly voice. Because now I'm a super-serious, no-nonsense action girl.
Discord GM: Ee-hee-hee-hee! Yes, yes you are!
I mean, I'd be concerned if one of my party members came back into the fold suddenly acting like a B-grade action movie character. That'd be very concerning!

Will Arnett has a strangely specific typecasting:
A rich guy with mental disorder who likes to pull off disappearing acts, and has no one but himself to blame for his problems.
"I want to play a cleric."
"Okay, which deity did you have in mind?"
"I actually wanted my character to revere a concept."
"That's fine. What's the concept?"
"Rocks."
Maud's holy symbol gives her the faith to act bouldly. She's a rock-steady member of her party, and a gem of a friend. She doesn't carry a chip on her shoulder; if she's angry at you, you're in for an avalanche of hurt, if she doesn't just leave you in the dust. Dwarf analogies can be made, as she downs beer by the quartz.
He knows that Pinkie's player will go along with fun curses, so he let her choose it. So that he can defeat her.
I 100% expect him to cross a line and go "I win, losers, no way your characters can be playable again" or something like that, before regular!DM goes "oh yeah?" and send Twilight the friendship reports so she can cast her "turn things back to a previous state" spell she got chewed out for trying to cast without preparation, at the begining of this scenario.
No... this guy seems to understand that it's not about "GM versus players." It's "GM plus players." Co-op, not versus. He seems more like the type to get a thrill out of them squealing, "when is he coming back again!?"
