* [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equus-A-Knight-s-Wisdom-1021129838 One story]] has Terra Firma confide in Delightful on dealing with her domineering Giant nature. Terra is haunted by a momentary loss of control and near a panic attack, thinking she may give into [[ImAHumanitarian the worse]] [[PunyEarthlings parts]] of Giants' instincts. Delightful reveals that, despite [[BecomingTheMask embracing her new nature]] where Terra tries to resist it, she faced the same struggle for control and (thanks to Queen Sunsparkle) realized that her altered nature didn't have to define her. This helps Terra Firma out of her funk and gives her hope in controlling her altered nature.
--> '''Delightful Clarity:''' "I raised the matter with Her Majesty. I told Her that I may become a danger to the Kingdom, that I may not control myself. She smiled and said I would never be a threat to Friendship Gardens, because ‘a Giant’ might do those things…but I wouldn't. Not a Knight of the Enchanted Throne. Not Dame Delightful Clarity. I was a Giant, and reveled in it, but I was not ONLY a Giant. When I realized that, I was able to banish that urge’s hold on me. They would surface again from time to time, but never so strong as to cloud my thoughts as they had. I had become someTHING else, not somePONY else."
--> '''Terra Firma:''' ''(expression brightening)'' "...Gianthood is PART of who you are, not ALL you are. You are still YOU, even if something was different.”

He stopped Yarost's rampage by simply having him restrained until his fury ran out, and after Yarost experienced an [[VillainousBreakdown emotional breakdown]], he helped his eldest son recover emotionally, inspiring Yarost to become TheStoic so he wouldn't repeat his furious actions again. He would talk to Phykti while she was suffering from depression, later inspiring her to do the same with her own demonic servants and champions. And when he caught Bolezn trying to hide his own feelings on the matter out of fear, he let Bolezn vent and cry so he could achieve personal closure. It shows that despite being a god of Evil and unapologetic about it, he still tries to be the best parent he can be for his children.

[[folder:Forge-Wrathfire Clan]]
* Mixed with a Crowning Moment of Awesome, the existence of the clan itself. Made by Clockwork Forge and Gabriel D. Griffin, the pony and griffon set aside their differences to raise a Princess Kobold and a pair of griffon cubs respectively in Meridia, and surprisingly succeeded. And over the years, the clan continued to grow as a family of choice, with members ranging from ponies, griffons, even to the inclusion of dragons and individuals from beyond Equus.
* Gabriel D. Griffin is a highlight in this regard. A former warlord, he literally forced himself to quite a lifetime of bad habits, including hard drugs and drinking, to become a better parent to his children and adopted niece. Multiple entries from said children have noted that despite him being gruff around the edges, that they wouldn’t dare trade him for any other parental figure.
* Best shown during the Talon Bàis War, where the very protective griffon parent killed thousands of racist zealots who would have harmed Numidium, and outright butchered and tore apart a war goddess with his bare claws for attempting to rape his son, Taran. Really, it just goes to show how dedicated he is to them that killing a goddess is secondary to him compared to making sure they are safe.

* Princess Rhiannon and Dragon Queen Tiamat’s relationship is both this and funny. Rhiannon truly considers the goddess as her aunt, and Tiamat likewise considers her as one of the goddess’s many hatchlings. Though, this wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for her father, Gabriel D. Griffin, using clear and basic reverse psychology on an ancient goddess to get her to become his daughter’s literal god mother.

* After marrying Blue Suede Heartstrings (now [[MeaningfulRename Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria]]), Stoltur would officially tie the knot with his husband by [[GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex having passionate, tender missionary sex with him]]. Despite them being [[GodOfEvil evil]] and [[GodOfGood good]], respectively, it's clear they love each other very much, and after going through hell in their own ways, they pretty much [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned their happy ending]]. Even [[TheHedonist Touha]] agrees that Stoltur and Blue Suede deserve to be together.
--> '''Narration:''' It had been a few weeks after the wedding. By now the excitement had mostly died down, but Touha could still hear his siblings and cousins talk about Stoltur and his new husband sometimes. The marriage was a shocking change, but a welcoming change nonetheless. Both Stoltur and Blue Suede- no, Caerulus Melodia had gone through hell, each in their own way, so they deserved every bit of happiness they could get.\\\
Touha felt glad that his little brother found someone who truly loved and cared for him, and vice-versa.

* Though mixed with TearJerker, the Four Terrors' Codex entries reveal that Temnobog had been doing all that he could during the family schism brought on by Ispita's [[FaceHeelTurn Fall]], as well as the aftermath. He stopped Yarost's rampage by simply having him restrained until his fury ran out, and after Yarost experienced an [[VillainousBreakdown emotional breakdown]], he helped his eldest son recover emotionally, inspiring Yarost to become TheStoic so he wouldn't repeat his furious actions again. He would talk to Phykti while she was suffering from depression, later inspiring her to do the same with her own demonic servants and champions. And when he caught Bolezn trying to hide his own feelings on the matter out of fear, he let Bolezn vent and cry so he could achieve personal closure. It shows that despite being a god of Evil and unapologetic about it, he still tries to be the best parent he can be for his children.

Fluttershy, despite still having her dracophobia, instantly moves to comfort her. After hearing her out until Cinder breaks down crying, Fluttershy [[SizeShifter uses the Majestic Power to grow large enough]] to give her a hug and comfort her more directly. By the end, the two are close friends and Fluttershy introduces her to Fluttercruel so [[YouAreNotAlone she has someone else with a similar origin]] to relate to.

* Moon Ray's interactions with [[LonelyRichKid Lucky Shot]] are heartwarming. He visited Lucky Shot during [[DespairEventHorizon one of the lowest moments of his life]] and proceeded to treat the colt kindly, including calling Lucky Shot by his birth name instead of "Regal Pillar", [[DoNotCallMePaul which Lucky Shot hated]]. And when it was time for Lucky Shot's spirit to be exorcised from his [[GrandTheftMe host body]], Moon Ray stayed with him the entire time to provide emotional support, and took him to the Heaven-Realm where Lucky Shot's dead parents resided afterwards. All this led to Lucky Shot calling Moon Ray "[[HonoraryUncle Uncle Moony]]". It's noted in Lucky Shot's entry that Moon Ray is currently working on helping him let go of his hatred towards his grandparents, so he could be finally and completely free of their abusive influence.
