* Near the end of the fic, Garble and his gang, having earlier gotten their plots kicked by Spike's {{Kaiju}} SuperMode, are visited by a pony doctor who lists the symptoms of overdosing on fire opal [[DidntThinkThisThrough that the teenage dragons are now going through because they did exactly that]]. The doctor saves Garble for last, describing the BodyHorror of the three-headed dragon's impending... division... into three separate dragons in lurid detail. He ends it off by speculating that Garble's father would probably think that this year-long, agonizing process is punishment enough for his actions (unless he decides to get rid of two of the three dragons Garble is going to split into), upon which all three of Garble's heads "[[OhCrap mingle misery and terror in a single expression]]".

* Chapter 12: Nyx skulks around the castle pretending to be "Evil-Linda, Mistress of Eviliality" and hamming it up all over the place. She "dies" after eating one of Cadence's freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (because they're good and she's not), and Spike shows up just in time to see her keeled over on the floor and Cadence laughing herself stupid.

* Chapter 12: Evil Linda! Evil Mistress of Eviliality!
* Chapter 13 has Twilight Sparkles' parents arriving in the Crystal Empire to provide emotional support and to make up for lost time with their new Granddaughter; with one of the first things being Night Light promising to tell Nyx stories about her Mother and Uncle when they were foals.

* In Chapter 4, Nyx makes a mess on Shining Armor's uniform and tries to use the washing machine herself. A few minutes later, Shining Armor is talking with his Lieutenant when they hear Nyx screaming "FIRE! FIIIIIRE!" As they soon discover, the washing machine was overloaded with detergent and created a big foamy mess. After it's been cleared up:

* Celestia reminisces with Luna in the garden over cake about the good old days: [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething when they protected the people, slew monsters and, well, actually had something to do.]] Now that Twilight's on her own, she's bereft or anything entertaining, and wishes for some monster to drop out of the sky for old times sake. And then some hapless dragons get teleported in... [[OhCrap and find a very creepy shadow looming over them]] ''hoisting a massive [[CarryABigStick Spiked Mace]]''...

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' "Yeah, I used to have a special superrific party for each new pony who came to Ponyville. But now with the Princesses living here there's heaps and heaps of new ponies every single day! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every-- single-- day!]] It's awful! Twilight was right. There's just too many ponies for me to throw a party for every single one. There's just too many ponies! ''Too, many, PONIEEEES! WAAAAH!'' [[MoodWhiplash ...So now I just throw one big party once a month for all the new ponies in Ponyville!]]"
* Willow arrives at the Ponyville schoolhouse fully expecting to encounter students who will tease/bully him because he's a thestral.

'''Nyx''': Nothing. (''Shining Armor approaches the group. Diamond and Silver start fangirling... but then their faces fall when Shining gives Nyx an affectionate noogie'')\\
'''Shining Armor''': Hey, Nyxy Sticks. (''points at Diamond and Silver'') Friends of yours? \\

* Chapter 33, the last chapter, uses the very last few paragraphs of the story to bring in a BrickJoke to a tremendous and hilarious landing. Essentially, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon despise Nyx. They also have a huge crush on Shining Armor, Nyx's uncle. They don't know he is her uncle. This leads to the following scene as they await Shining Armor's appearance at Ponyvile train station:

'''Diamond Tiara''': Go away, weirdo, we don't want Prince Shining to see us standing around a loser like you!\\

'''Diamond Tiara''': (''noticing Nyx is on the verge of bursting into laughter'') What is wrong with you?\\
'''Nyx''': Nothing. (''Shining Armor approaches the group. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon start fangirling... but then their faces fall when Shining gives Nyx an affectionate noogy'')\\
'''Shining Armor''': Hey Nixie stix. (''points at Diamond and Silver'') Friends of yours? \\

* Upon finding Level Head's tomb, Twilight starts reading the journals that describe the true Hearthwarming Day story. At one point in the story, Level Head starts discussing how [[spoiler:his grandson Smart Cookie basically had a threesome with Private Pansy and Clover the Clever in the story.]] Twilight then mentions that somebody had scribbled out the juicier details and written '''LIES, ALL LIES''' over it.
* Celestia reminisces with Luna in the garden over cake about the good old days: [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething when they protected the people, slew monsters and, well, actually had something to do.]] Now that Twilight's on her own, she's bereft or anything entertaining, and wishes for some monster to drop out of the sky for old times sake.

* Princess Luna's tongue lashing of Triton [[spoiler: for making poor Nyx believe she killed hundreds when she caused Eternal Night in the original story. Very much needed after Nyx's emotional breakdown.]]

* [[spoiler:Nyx finding out that Songhili is the Selkie king, and his proposal for a water-slide transportation system for his people - which Celestia and Luna approve on the spot]].
* [[spoiler: How Celestia reacts when she figures out that Twilight Sparkle's "Marriage vows" are actually a garbled ascendancy spell, and she's about to trigger a massive spellsurge in a room full of epic magic artifacts and nigh-cosmic entities. It ends up turning Ink Spot into an alicorn!]]

** The tea party for Discord, Nyx, and Pinkie Pie develops its own kind of silliness, including an industrial-strength rubber chicken that squaws loudly enough to blow a guard's helmet off - followed by said guard asking if he can have one.
