History Fridge / FalloutEquestria

* The bits of information we have about the war suggest that it was sort of trench hell like UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, and despite it was quite accidental as Kkat claims that she cannot describe warfare well, it seems perfectly fitting the ponies who have great troubles with moving and aiming simulatenously. Also this leads to battle saddles being a reasonable design despite [[CriticalDissonance some bronies]] calling them ridiculous and impractical, because when all your tactics is reduced to throwing MoreDakka and more CannonFodder at the enemy, they are suitable solution if equipped with assault rifles, rapid-fire shotguns or even machineguns and flamethrowers. And as they were produced by thousands, those who survived the apocalypse still use them because it is the most common equipment to be found.

* It is horrible and sad to see a little child so hurt like that though. Even pre-apocalypse it was hard to help everyone, and that was with a widely established security/police force, and with the Ministries. Anything. But in the Wasteland, even little kids have to put up with adult-level hell-on-Earth grade things, and can't really ask anyone for help, even if they're nearby, because everyone's probably got the same problems in the Wasteland. The doctor in Fallout 3 town Megaton tells outsiders they'd better be dying before they ask for help, that he only wants to spend medical resources on people he likes. Pre-War they'd get slapped with a lawsuit for that. Post-War, people gotta take care of themselves, and resources are even scarcer.

* A bit of Fridge Horror for the Fallout: Equestria series as a whole, but... Pretty much everything that came after season one is uncounted for. Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, the Crystal Empire, Tartarus, what the hell happened to those? Were they unaffected somehow, or did the balefire completely break them?

** Slip up, shmip up. It was pretty heavily implied that she knew exactly what it was and was planning on committing suicide with it after one last, big party.

** Furthermore... Tirek is out there, somewhere. A magic-sucking monster in a world where literally everything is saturated with magic. If he's broken out of Tartarus, he'd have the chance to become a god.
** Near the end, Discord is briefly glossed over. Best case scenario, his power was so little because of the events that he ended up shrinking to a tiny irreversible size and now puts random things in trash cans and other pointless things (random drops). Worst case? [[LiterallyShatteredLives He was still a statue when the bombs hit]]. Of course, it's not particularly important to the story and they're just theories that were thought of by random, unnamed characters, so his fate is still ultimately a mystery.
** Now, we know that Chrysalis has a throne that nullifies magic in and around her hive, which is also situated on an island a decent distance away from the mainland. The Changelings might actually be the one species completely unaffected by the war, as any after-effects of the megaspells that managed to reach all the way to their island would get nullified by the anti-magic field. Though, with their food supply having just been blown up, it's unclear how long that would last... It's still a bit funny to imagine Chrysalis being in the middle of drafting up a plan to take over Equestria when she looks out the window and notices the apocalypse descending onto the mainland.

* In chapter thirty-four, a dying bandit tells the people of Arbu, "You can't... have... my son..." This seems perfectly normal, until it's revealed that the ponies of Arbu are cannibals. What's more, according to Grandpa Rattle, a good portion of the aforementioned bandits are former residents of Arbu. The dying bandit knows what they're doing. He isn't saying, "Don't take my son." He's saying, "Don't eat my son."

* One has to wonder why Littlepip's stable seems to be the only one that wasn't subjected to terrible experiments that had GoneHorriblyRight. Then you realize that her Stable is only the second one ever built, and most likely was constructed for the actual purpose of protection when Scootaloo first started constructing them.
** First, only one "experiment" that we've seen actually contributed to the Stable's downfall. This isn't Vault-Tec. None of the experiments were really "terrible" Secondly, Stable 2 was intended from the start to be a control stable, one without any experiment, and it wasn't the only one.
** Your point is rendered kind of moot when you consider Project Horizons.
*** PH isn't canon to the main story, though.

* Silver Bell had a balefire bomb right in her barn for who knows how long. ''An armed balefire bomb'' at that. And she's a ''child''. One little slip up, and...

* Why did the author write Ditzy's tongue as having been cut out? Likely as a reference to the huge controversy when she was voiced for the only time, resulting in her voice being changed in an attempt to please the MoralGuardians but in doing so aggravating the fanbase and resulting in UnfortunateImplications.
** Given that the story was finished a month before the airing of that episode, this is incorrect.
