---> "Are you sure? I don't see any miasma, and I'm almost positive we don't have any dead dwarves in the basement."

---> "Well, anyway, the point is, we can be ESP buddies! Now all we need is an alien, a time traveler, a slider, an omnipotent Japanese schoolgirl, and a snarky narrator! Ooh! Do you think Twilight could be snarky enough? I'm sure she could make enough obscure literary allusions, and she's done lots of voiceovers when she's dictating letters to Princess Celestia!"\\

---> "Sorry, sorry. I just get so excited sometimes, it gets hard to stop myself, and before I know it people are accusing me of turning Rainbow Dash into cupcakes and I don't know where to even begin with that kind of recipe and—"

---> "Wow, you've got some kind of Ditzy Sense? That's so cool! I thought I was the only pony in the whole wide world that had that kind of ability! Well, me and my sisters. And Mom. And Granny Pie. And—"

-->"Oh, right."\\
--> "It was either Aristrotle or Brayto if I remember correctly."\\
-->"Oh. Right."\\
-->"You did court both master and pupil, didn't you?"\\
-->"'''OH. RIGHT'''." The reverb sent chills down Ditzy's spine and made her very grateful she'd visited the bathroom prior to the meal.\\

"As I recall, you had no patience for matters of court at the time. Something about some charming young stallion."\\
"Oh, right."\\

"Oh. Right."\\
"You did court both master and pupil, didn't you?"\\
"'''OH. RIGHT'''." The reverb sent chills down Ditzy's spine and made her very grateful she'd visited the bathroom prior to the meal.\\

* AlienGeometries: {{Inverted}} with Ditzy. Her mark talent is for planeswalking, meaning that she can handle eleven dimensions easily. Her problem is trying to make do with only three.

* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: The Courier Capsule Knew You Would Say That: Tezzeret does this to Jace before explaining why it would be a very bad idea not to teach the nice pony blue magic.

* WorldsBestPerson: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/29275/6/my-little-praetor-phthisis-is-magic/immune-response "Immune Response"]], by Discord, says to a trapped Celestia about Twilight being the best at "power", after a few events:

* GreenIsGross: From [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/29275/5/my-little-praetor-phthisis-is-magic/visible-symptoms Chapter 5]], a spell is used to conjure a viridian foul ooze. Viridian is a shade of green.

A {{crossover}} of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' by Creator/FanOfMostEverything. Currently complete, with two SequelSeries in progress. The first, ''Sideboard of Harmony'', is a collection of {{drabble}}s. The second, ''My Little Praetor: Phthisis is Magic'', is about the Phyrexian invasion of Ungula (the ponies' plane). There are entries in the anthology ''Fanfic/StoryShuffle1'' that are canon, and there is also a one-shot continuation, ''Where Parallel Lines Converge'' which is about Ditzy's first meeting with Starlight Glimmer.

Tropes for ''Story Shuffle'' are on [[Fanfic/StoryShuffle its own page]].

--> "Please don't imprison me or banish me or imprison me in the place where you banished me."\\
\\

* HumanoidAbomination: Well, Equinoid Abomination:

Tears streaming down her cheeks, Ditzy Doo lost consciousness.\\
\\

** [[Franchise/{{Dune}} Paul]], the Kwisatz Haderapple and [[Literature/TheVeryHungryCaterpillar Eric]], the Very Friendly Caterpillar

* SignatureInstrument: ''Pithisis is Magic'': Incantessa Octavia Pie, a cellist, whose cello bow is made using her love's hair, and uses cellos as a blunt InstrumentOfMurder and that bow as basically a monomolecular bladed weapon.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Most unicorns go unresponsively euphoric in the aura of magic around Twilight's library. [[LargeHam Trixie...]] doesn't.

* EvilCounterpart: Played with. Lauren and Discord are Lawful and Chaotic Counterparts. They're also [[EvilTwin twins]]. And just like the Elements of Harmony are made [[spoiler: from Lauren's body]], ''Ave Discordia'' creates the Elements of Discord: Chaos, Mischief, Charisma, Ambition, Vanity and Cunning.

* TheMultiverse:

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In universe, Iron Will is wildly popular in [[UsefulNotes/{{France}} Prance]].

* SanitySlippageSong: Appropriately enough, [[Music/OzzyOsbourne Crazy Train,]] sung by Pinkie as she begins wreaking havoc in Phyrexia.

* [[ThemeTwinNaming Theme Quintuplet Naming]]: WordOfGod has it that each of Cadence's sisters will have a name that ends in -nce and a full name that will follow a "Mi (Italian noun related to talent that ends in -e) (Italian cognate for common name that ends in -nza)" scheme, as demonstrated with Prudence (Mi Illusione Prudenza.)

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Pumpkin Cake, who actively shields the ETSAB meetings from the narrator.

** In her dialogue of the first chapter, Pinkie refers to the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' series, ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', and ''Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}}'':
"Are you sure? I don't see any miasma, and I'm almost positive we don't have any dead dwarves in the basement."\\

"Well, anyway, the point is, we can be ESP buddies! Now all we need is an alien, a time traveler, a slider, an omnipotent Japanese schoolgirl, and a snarky narrator! Ooh!

"Sorry, sorry. I just get so excited sometimes, it gets hard to stop myself, and before I know it people are accusing me of turning Rainbow Dash into cupcakes and I don't know where to even begin with that kind of recipe and—"
** Pinkie Sense is an [[Fanfic/AhAintGotNoAckcent inherited trait]]:
--> "Wow, you've got some kind of Ditzy Sense? That's so cool! I thought I was the only pony in the whole wide world that had that kind of ability! Well, me and my sisters. And Mom. And Granny Pie. And—"

*** ''[[LampshadeHanging (With apologies to Andrew Hussie)]]''

* {{Telepathy}}: Ditzy has this ability, as do the members of the generosity elemental's gestalt. The language of Angel Bunny's species is made up entirely of gestures and thought impulses.

* DidYouActuallyBelieve: In the chapter wherein she's sent to Plane Zero-Zero-Epsilon (the world of Equestria Girls), Ditzy berates Sunset Shimmer non-stop for constantly being WrongGenreSavvy.

* GratuitousLatin: Two chapter titles have been in Latin, "Ave Discordia" and "Fiat Harmonia." Interestingly, both involve a deity [[spoiler:getting transformed into {{Mineral MacGuffin}}s]]. A third, "Quod Cucurbita", breaks the pattern for the sake of an ''WebComic/MSPaintAdventures'' reference.

* StealthPun: Lyra's magic extends to the manipulation of cosmic strings.

** Pumpkin Cake's propensity for ontolomancy-powered {{StealthHiBye}}s leads to the following exchange:
--->'''The Doctor:''' How long has Pumpkin been gone?
--->'''Lyra:''' [[Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures What pumpkin?]]

->T: Add 1 to your [[{{Mana}} mana pool]].
->T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. [[AwesomeButImpractical Spend this mana only to cast a trope spell or to activate an ability of a trope source.]]
->T: [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Add three mana of any one color to your mana pool.]] Spend this mana only to cast a trope spell or to activate an ability of a trope source. [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Skip your next turn.]]

* AltumVidetur: Two chapter titles have been in Latin, "Ave Discordia" and "Fiat Harmonia." Interestingly, both involve a deity [[spoiler:getting transformed into {{Mineral MacGuffin}}s]]. A third, "Quod Cucurbita", breaks the pattern for the sake of an ''WebComic/MSPaintAdventures'' reference.

** Lyra gets a hold of a book called the Liber Digitalis Ambulatourm, sibling to the [[{{Literature/Discworld}} Liber Paginarum Fulvarum]].

** The Ditzy Doo of the world of Equestria Girls is a gamer chick into Magic: The Gathering.

* ShoutOut: To the film, ''Film/EncinoMan'', about a caveman displaced forward in time due to being a HumanPopsicle. In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/17719/12/sideboard-of-harmony/the-etsab-and-you The ETSAB and You]]'', the "Office of Dislocation ''Executive Officer'': Encino Mare" in the "Department of Chronomantic Concerns".

!Provides examples of:

"Neither have I." Ditzy dropped the illusion. "Only one I ever met was as dim as a thunderhead and half as friendly." She smiled and extended a forehoof. "Hi. I'm Ditzy Doo."

* MundaneUtility: The ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE was originally devised as a form of crowd control.

** A certain Great and Powerful showmare's full name is [[Literature/LordOfTheRings Trixie Hobbitses]].

* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: Mostly averted. Pumpkin Cake avoids the Sugarcube Corner in "Quod Cucurbita," but because of awkwardness, not the threat of fatal paradox.

"Even crazier than oatmeal."\\

--> The head spoiler:of the creature seemed to be nothing but a tremendous, lidless eyeball with seven different pupils wandering about the sphere at random. Behind it was a stalk-like body, mottled in ash gray, bruise puce, bile yellow, and colors that Starlight perceived yet her mind refused to identify. The enormous form branched into three pairs of wide arrays of tendrils, like the blood vessels of vast, invisible flippers. Their subtle flexing as they impossibly held the creature aloft made it clear that there was no more to them than those undulating, mazelike complexes of flesh. The tail branched into trailing, dangling lengths of living tissue. [[spoiler:Some brushed against the peak that housed the Cutie Vault. Where they did, the rock turned iridescent, its edges visibly softening like an ice sculpture in an oven.]]
* PuppeteerParasite: Ditzy's primary use for her Scions when [[spoiler: she briefly gets turned into an Eldrazi]].
