History Awesome / TheNuptialverse

** After the fight, Chrysalis decides to just cut and run, claiming she has what she came for. When the Mane 5 investigate and it appears Chrysalis has already taken the artifact they came for, Applejack loses hope, believing that Chrysalis has won. However, Rainbow recognizes the symbols around the temple from the books by A. K. Yearling, noting the books are very accurate, and says they just repeat "fake" over and over. Thanks to that, the five ofthem search until finding the real Sun Stone, and decide to start heading back before Chrysalis finds out she only has a fake.

--> ''More cowardly ponies would fall to the ground right now and wait for the Chief of Police to arrest them.'' The mob agrees. And obeys.

* Before that, The Changeling Queen, thinking that the Mane 5 are still wracked with guilt for how badly she tricked them with her Cadence disguise during the Royal Wedding the previous year, rubs it in their faces to give herself a psychological advantage. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Much to her shock,]] they respond by laughing their heads off and mocking Crysalis for actually thinking that was going to work, since they've accepted that their mistake has happened and moved on. Rarity [[LampshadeHanging even admits she wasn't expecting Crysalis to understand.]]
* When Discord shows up, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Pinkie Pie]] immediately figures out that it's the Changeling Queen in disguise based on stuble clues.

* Olive Branch tries to use the fact that Speedy Delivery has Rainbow Dash & Soarin' as hostages to make Princess Celestia gives in. Not only does Celestia refuse citing that both ponies would, in their loyalty, ''never'' want Celestia to risk Equestria for just the two of them, when we next see them, Rainbow Dash and Soarin' are not only unsurprised, but pleased, that Celestia's staying strong.

* [[spoiler: Both Clyde admitting how much he searched for Pinkie after she ran away, and despite that he figured out that Pinkie was messing with her own route by circling and doubling back he ''still'' couldn't find her because she didn't want to be found.]]
* [[spoiler:Celestia literally ''laughing'' in Olive Branch's face when he reveals his [[ImmortalitySeeker true]] motive for staging the conspiracy. When Olive Branch desperately tries to save face by revealing he has Twilight hostage, Celestia coyly asks him if he truly thought a "standard issue" magic suppressor would be enough to stop her personal student. Cut to Twilight effortlessly destroying her horn collar and [[CurbStompBattle curb stomping]] Olive Branch's minions [[MamaBear after she discovers what they plan to do with Spike]].]]

* Scootaloo finally standing up her dad after all the crap he's put her through, followed by Rainbow Dash [[spoiler: kicking his ass]].

** Twilight [[spoiler:subduing [[TheDragon Rabble Rouser]]'s entire mob simply by [[ToThePain listing off]] the various offensive spells she knows ... well, the first 24]]. And then Applejack gets a moment by [[spoiler: knocking him out with one kick]].

--> ''More cowardly ponies would fall to the ground right now and wait for the Chief of Police to arrest them.'' [[spoiler:The mob agrees. And obeys.]]
* Celestia gets one when it's revealed that not only did she know about the [[spoiler: secret passageway in the guard barracks that leads outside the palace grounds, but that she pretended not to know about it specifically for a case like Olive Branch's where he had co-conspirators within the Royal Guard itself]].
* Olive Branch's ultimate punishment, as delivered by [[GoodIsNotSoft Luna]]: [[spoiler: he's forced to feel ''all'' of the pain his actions have either directly or indirectly caused. And he'll continue to feel any future pain he causes.]]

** Applejack holding her own against [[TheBrute Red Hoof]]. [[spoiler: Granted, she ends up in the hospital, but she's released three days later.]]

** Fluttershy helps Applejack and Rainbow Dash to get the upper hand in their fights -- in the former, by temporarily blinding Red Hoof with a piece of cloth around the eyes, and in the latter, by ''biting'' Lightning Dust's wing, distracting them enough for her friends to win. [[spoiler: And then she beats Trixie by strapping a device designed to drain the Alicorn Amulet's magic on her horn.]]
* Rarity ShamingTheMob to prevent vigilante justice from being taken on Trixie. [[spoiler: And this is after what Trixie did to Sweetie Belle.]]
* A more cathartic moment (in-universe and out) than awesome, but after the fight with Trixie, Dr. Malpractice is fired and sent back to medical school, due to [[spoiler: failing to notice the blatant signs that Sweetie was being affected by dark magic.]]

* Celestia gets one when it's revealed that not only that did she know about the [[spoiler: secret passageway in the guard barracks that leads outside the palace grounds, but that she pretended not to know about it specifically for a case like Olive Branch's where he had co-conspirators within the Royal Guard itself]].

* When Twilight and Spike arrive in the human world Twilight is able to [[AwesomenessByAnalysis pick up on how things work just by observing her surrounding]]. Whether it's seeing how someone drives a car, how a road works, or how to use silverware she just observes and learns. Celestia even picks up on this and lets her figure out how to do research on the Internet herself through trial and error after directing her to a secure encyclopedia.
