History Fanfic / MyLittleUnicorn

** UnfortunateNames: Speaking of the movie, Snatch.

* SpitTake: Human!Rarity spits out her milkshake when she learns her pony self is engaged to Spike.

Due to the many questions he gets in regards to this series, [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/589093/my-brave-pony-starfleet-magic-qa Mykan has created a Q&A]] where anyone can inquire; that is, anyone who hasn't been banned for asking what he feels are accusatory and stupid questions.

* MightMakesRight: There are strong hints of this littered in the badfic, regardless of the author's intent. It doesn't help that the main character and his friends, are [[HolierThanThou self righteous]] and live in a [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption military supremacist society.]]

* SadistTeacher: Episode 5 of ''Starfleet Magic IV'' sees Cheerilee temporarily replaced by [[MeaningfulName Mr. Harshwhinny]]

* DownToTheLastPlay: In the human world, the Canterlot Wondercolts triumph over the Crystal Empires ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer seriously, that's the name Mykan gave their team]]) with a three-point shot at the last second.

** [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WJb_GChdFbZK-bhvKffmyw6XTeA6_hv3FUJyA6BnHP0/edit?pli=1 One in particular]] was written by the people who also mocked ''Fanfic/PastSins''. Has its [[FanFic/MyLittleUnicornBelivingIsMagicMST own page]].

** Dyno and Mite like causing this.

Mykan later reworked the story [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE]] as ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic''. The series is treated as if it were a TV show, with each fanfic being called a "season" and each chapter an "episode". So far, there have been six seasons:

Oh and a WebAnimation/DeathBattle: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/367658/death-battle-twilight-sparkle-vs-lightning-dawn DEATH BATTLE: Twilight Sparkle VS Lightning Dawn]]

** In ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', [[spoiler:Fratello's ghost combines with his replacement robot body]].

** Titan in ''My Little Unicorn''[=/=]''My Brave Unicorn: Star Fleet Magic'' [[spoiler:and ''My Brave Pony: The Movie'']].
** Queen Chrysalis in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II''.
** King Sombra in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III''.

** The Dark King in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic IV''.

* BigNo: Lightning when a stone column topples onto [[spoiler:Cadance]] in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic V''.

** Cookie Dough, who was a core member of the team in the initial series, was removed for several stories and when reintroduced in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', was a minor character. The Website/DeviantART remake brings him back, not as a member, but as a recurring background character.
** Krysta is acknowledged maybe once or twice in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'' despite being the main character's best friend.

* DisproportionateRetribution: By the [[SerialEscalation freight train load.]]

** Ace Ray gets sent to an insane asylum and (in the original version) essentially brainwashed into liking Star Fleet, for the crime of... saying mean things about them. Sure, he beat up his sister but the way it's worded, it sounds like Starfleet was looking for an excuse to arrest him. Also, even if he really wasn't arrested because he was insulting Starfleet, this implies that citizens who beat up folks all get sent to asylums...

** In ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', Raven, [[spoiler:Twilight's assassin]], is named and based off the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' character.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: By the bucket load. [[spoiler:Discord, Titan and Nightmare Moon get blown up. The deaths of Titan`s henchponies get handwaved with the excuse that they were just artificial beings. Worst example is probably in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'', where Cadance's brother [[BigBad Fratello]] gets killed by her and then blown up, because the author wanted to make her suffer.]]

** Even his own characters aren't immune from it. In his first appearance, Ace Ray does hate Starfleet but has other priorities such as his sister. By the time of ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', all he does is rant about his hatred of Starfleet and hates his sister.

** The most extreme example of a flat character is Melantha, one of Sombra's four minions in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III''. While other characters at least have a backstory and one character trait, Melantha has no characterization at all.

* GottaCatchThemAll: The second half of the story is devoted to heroes and villains trying to find the "Rainbow Stones," (Renamed the Star Stones in the remake) which would grant them new powers; ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'' has them search for the shattered remains of the Crystal Heart.

* TheMagicTouch: In one part of My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II, Rarity essentially gets the Midas Touch.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted, though it's not certain whether this was deliberate. There are two characters named Rani in the series: Khan's wife in the Movie, and Reginald Rolls' wife in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III''.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Episode 9 of ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'' sees a Changeling almost escape due to an argument between Lightning and Starla.

* RecycledInSPACE: Invoked InNameOnly seeing as ''My Little Unicorn: Star Fleet Magic'' is just ''Magic is Believing'' with a few extra lines and the [[AnAesop Aesop]] of "believing" cut out.

** [[spoiler:Turns out, the second main antagonist of ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'' is Cadance's brother Fratello, who we never heard of before. Not to mention that Equestria seemingly has been invaded by robots around 15 years ago, of which no one has a memory of.]]
** Another example would be Krysta's adopted son Twink, who suddenly appears with no foreshadowing in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'', Episode 1. When asked about why he suddenly appears, Mykan answered "New characters get thrown in all the time (everyone knows that)".

* SuddenNameChange: In ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'', the newly militarized MLP cast is called the [[TheSomethingForce Friendship Force]]. In ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', they are now called "Friendship is Magic"... at least until the Website/DeviantART rewrite, where they have always been called [=FiM=].

** A smaller-scale example occurs in Episode 16 of ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', where Raven and Harkin team up.

** Inquirius and Cookie Dough (who was a core member of Star Fleet in the first one) don`t play any role in the sequels. According to WordOfGod that`s because he had no idea how to use them anymore. The same goes for Abra Kadabra, who is only there to make Goldwin come alive.
** Another example is ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'' one-shot character Cerise, who, despite being a high-ranked Starfleet member and being only the 3rd character shown to be able to use the Uniforce, is only mentioned once in passing later.

** Happens again in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III'', Episode 11, where Phaedra is called away by Sombra when she is about to kill Royce and Pinkie Pie, though at least this time there's a reasonable explanation (She already got the Crystal Heart Sombra told her to get).

In addition to this, Mykan has also written five "movies". The first one is an "original" storyline, the next two are based on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'', and the fourth is about a human named Mykan Stevens, who is [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial TOTALLY not an]] AuthorAvatar. They can be found here:

** The "WebAnimation/DeathBattle" deserves special mention: There are no analysis portions details what the fighters are capable of nor [[BiasSteamroller is the verdict of the fight the result of researching which character would win in a one-on-one battle]].

In addition to this, Mykan has also written four "movies".

There's also a fic that crosses over with another series of Mykan fics which takes place before the Space Ponies came to Equestria:
* [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/325512/yugioh-spiez-opperation-duel-final-season Yugioh Spiez: Opperation Duel: Final Season]]

There are now [[FanFic/MyBravePonyStarfleetNemesis two]] "[[FanFic/MykanTributeFallOfStarfleetRiseOfHarmony tributes]]" to his story that serve as lovely deconstructions of his work.

* MoralMyopia: The summary of the whole "fanfic": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it's cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray and Brass Bolt), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.

* MoralMyopia\ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The summary of the whole "fanfic": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it's cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray and Brass Bolt), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The summary of the whole "fanfic": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it's cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray and Brass Bolt), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.

* ILetGwenStacyDie: Lightning Dawn initially blames himself for [[spoiler:Twilight]]'s death until other characters convince him it was the victim's fault.

** Starfleet destroys Titan's minions (or, in the original, leaves them to die) on the grounds that they're evil, artificial beings. However, with the exception of Celesto, all Unicornicopians are descended from artificial beings. And then there's Goldwin, a statue given life who's a protagonist.

* IllKillYou: In My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic III Ace Ray says this to Skye after she declares him to be as bad as the evil they face, which results in him being officially declared a criminal, beaten and arrested.

* TheWorfEffect: Mykan makes Lighting go through one [[spoiler:just so he can't save Twilight from getting killed]].

** In Ace Ray's debut chapter, Twilight told Spike it wouldn't be right to force the ex-Wonderbolt to think like others in order to cure his "attitude problem". Guess what happens in Ace Ray's second appearance (in the original version).

* AnIcePerson:
** Some of Dementia's attacks invoke this.
** Frosteye from ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III''.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain:
** Titan. He has great power and wants to destroy Unicornicopia so he can spread chaos and destruction over reality, [[ForTheEvulz just because]]. His dialogue is dripping in [[LargeHam clichés]] and there is nothing unique about his appearance at all. Being StupidEvil and going with the first Saturday morning cartoon plot his minions come up with doesn't help matters.
** Queen Chrysalis [[spoiler:and Fratello]] in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II''.
** King Sombra in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III''.
** The Dark King in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic IV''.

%%* PoliceState: The narration states that it's benevolent.

* HangingJudge: According to [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/589093/my-brave-pony-starfleet-magic-qa#comment/3806165 this comment]], Starfleet sometimes doesn't have trials if they have "[[OrgyOfEvidence more than enough proof]]". This is demonstrated in ''VI'' when they immediately arrest and imprison the Spectros without bothering to hear them out. [[DesignatedHero Starfleet is supposed to be the heroes here.]]

* HellholePrison: As shown in the sixth "season", prisoners are tortured and not given food if they don't keep quiet. [[DesignatedHero These prisons are run by the supposed "heroes".]] [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/589093/my-brave-pony-starfleet-magic-qa#comment/4232328 According to Mykan, Starfleet prisons are like this because this is what real world prisons are like and MLP needs reality.]]

* PoliceState: [[InformedAttribute The narration states that it's benevolent]]. [[DesignatedHero Their actions say otherwise]].

* PoliceState: The narration states that it's benevolent.

** Surprisingly, thus far [[AvertedTrope there is no overarching]] BigBad in ''VI''.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: By the bucket load. [[spoiler:Discord, Titan and Nightmare Moon get blown up. The deaths of Titan`s henchponies get handwaved with the excuse that they were just artificial beings. Worst example is probably in ''My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II'', where Cadance's brother [[BigBad Fratello]] gets killed by her and then blown up, because [[MoralEventHorizon the author wanted to make her suffer]].]]
