(1) Discording is not the corruption of a personality, nor does it remove freedom of choice, or free will.  Discording takes the most identifying, or most prevalent aspect of one’s personality and inverts it.  It does not change who someone is, so much as it changes their priorities.  The discorded Mane Six were different from their typical selves, but each one exhibited behaviors while discorded that are shown at other times before and after, such as Applejack lying to Pinkie during Party of One, or Fluttershy’s approach to the animals during at the Grand Galloping Gala.  It does not make you do things that you would not do if not discorded, at least not canonically so the ‘potential this can have for indirect murder’ is strictly hypothetical and based upon fanon.

(2) I pointed that out myself, and that Celestia’s actions were justified in that situation, but she was the one to initiate action at that moment.  Chrysalis talked and spilled the beans, Celestia made no attempt to reason, and instead attacked in an attempt to subdue the threat and protect her subjects.  Though the situation is different for the viewers in the blog, Celestia has no reason to view things differently from before, especially given recent events in show canon and a great amount of experience in blog canon.

(3) In the blog, Papi and the changelings came to Celestia in force.  They mean well, but the approach is poorly executed, due in large part to Papillon’s inexperience and flawed views of the situation, as well as an understanding that a small group, especially one that came in disguise would be met with just as much hostility without nearly as much deterrent.  Celestia did not seek out this confrontation, and those that she has been involved with in the blog’s canon may or may not have been initiated by Celestia and ponykind.  You don’t know as they have not been shown yet.

(Conclusion) The evidence that I have used to set up the headcanons I have for Celestia comes directly from interpretations of canonical events, and don’t necessarily line up with the widely accepted views of the character.  The evidence is still valid.  The portrayal of Celestia that I am using in the blog is based upon canonical evidence, as well as events that are canon to the blog that have not been fully divulged for reasons of narrative and time.  There are better reasons to be upset with a story or a character than the fact that it is different from what you expect, or from what is commonplace.
