History RonTheDeathEater / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic

** Instead of Luna becoming Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia became Corona, the Tyrant Sun. A thousand years after Luna bound Corona into the sun, ponies still don't dare be outside at noon. Since the fic is explicitly an AU, with the Luna/Celestia switch as one of its two main premises, this is something of a NecessaryWeasel.

* ''Webcomic/RecallTheTimeOfNoReturn'' [[PlayingWithATrope plays with this]]. 1000 years in the future, the passing of Twilight's friends and a war has seemingly turned her into [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a cruel tyrant who murdered tens of thousands of her subjects under suspicion they were threats]]. When her friends [[TimeTravel arrive from the present]], they react to this with horror and disbelief and their DrivingQuestion is if this really is the case. As an example of Administrivia/TropesAreTools, [[spoiler:the ''subversion'' of this by revealing Twilight as an imposter]] [[BrokenBase received mixed reception]], with some feeling [[spoiler:Twilight actually turning evil would have been more a more engaging story and it made it an IdiotPlot due to no-one seriously considering this possibility until the end]].

* Pinkie Pie: Typically a happy-go-lucky GenkiGirl, the infamous fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}}'' derails her into a psychopath who brutally murders Rainbow Dash, all while never breaking her usual façade. Many fans inspired by this fic combine it with Pinkie's mental breakdown in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne "Party Of One"]] (which aired a few weeks after ''Cupcakes'' hit the net) to make Pinkie out as an angry, depressed, knife-obsessed schizo who goes by her full name, Pinkamena Diane Pie. Perhaps worth noting that, as it originated in a TrollFic, or at least was never intended to become what it did, the success of Pinkamena points more towards something in the community than in the author.

Applejack in general (and sometimes the rest of the Apple family) is often at the receiving end of every negative [[DeepSouth American-Southerner]]/[[UsefulNotes/{{Appalachia}} country-bumpkin]] stereotype imaginable. Fan works often portray her as either; a [[DumbMuscle dimwitted]] illiterate hillbilly who doesn't know anything outside of apple farming, a [[FantasticRacism racist]] redneck (especially when Zecora the resident zebra is involved), or in an incestuous relationship with either [[BrotherSisterIncest Big Macintosh]] or [[KissingCousins Braeburn]]. Or any combination of the three.
* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/98244/apple-corruption Apple Corruption]], Applejack and all of the Apple family (excluding Granny Smith, Apple Bloom, and Big Mac) become this. Applejack is characterized the most, and is characterized as being a stubborn, racist Jerkass whom beats Applebloom for any mistakes she makes. When Sweetie Belle has to live with her, she treats her no differently. From trying to change Sweetie's name to "Apple Belle Sweetapple", lying to Sweetie about [[spoiler: Rarity being dead]], [[spoiler: being the arsonist behind Rarity's boutique burning down]], blaming Sweetie for [[spoiler: Granny Smith's death]], to eventually, [[spoiler: trying to dehorn her and when that failed, take away her magic by making her drink a special potion and wear a cap on her horn. This treatment, along with trying to cut off her horn, would've killed Sweetie slowly and painfully.]] The rest of the Apple family gets the same characterization, especially the ones who live in Nimbuscait, where beatings and [[spoiler: the raping of fillies by priests]] are the norm. Applejack at least gets the FreudianExcuse that [[spoiler: she was raped by a priest, and her mother was burned as a heretic for being blasted with magic]], but the other Apples do not have any other excuse.

* ''Fanfic/HowILostMyMother'' has Celestia cruelly banish her Four-Year Old daughter from Canterlot after stripping away her Alicorn Magic and [[UnPerson erasing everyponies' memories of her existence]] just a day before Nightmare Moon was to return, and that she is no longer considered a part of Celestias' family; [[HideTheEvidence along with hiding any and all remaining physical traces of her daughters' existence from Princess Luna afterwards.]] The reason behind all this? Celestia had experienced a prophecy foretelling that her child '''MIGHT''' destroy Equestria with her Magic, and that she didn't want to face the repercussions of [[AhouseDivided having to fight another member of her family]], and that the public would have automatically sided with Celestias' daughter [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen if the public learned the truth behind why she was banished in the first place]]. Thus setting off a slow chain of events of a SelfFulfillingProphecy as her daughter: [[GoMadFromTheIsolation spurned by loneliness and emotional neglect for years]], discovered that Celestia had the opportunity to try apologizing to her only child but instead tried to fill the space in her heart with Princess Luna and [[ReplacementGoldfish Twilight Sparkle]], and plot her retribution against her family and to destroy Equestria to reclaim her stolen Magic once again. And who exactly is Celestia's Daughter? ''[[spoiler:Cozy Glow]].''

* The Anti-TBC RecursiveFanfiction of ''FanFic/TheConversionBureau'' took the FridgeHorror about the setting and Celestia's portrayal, meant to be as benevolent as in canon, playing up the atrocities while {{Flanderizing}} Celestia into a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-expy]] tyrannical KnightTemplar. It's [[SturgeonsLaw rare to find such works]] where they aren't reduced to a StrawCharacter and/or convincingly address why [[BigGood Celestia]] would act this way.

* ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' does this with several characters for dark laughs. Fluttershy is the leader of an evil cult to summon the god of destruction Smooze. Twilight Sparkle has a superiority complex, abuses Spike, killed [[spoiler:Cadence]] for trying to "steal" her [[NotBloodSiblings adopted]] [[BrotherSisterIncest brother]], as a foal killed some of her classmates because she thought they were competition, and [[spoiler:brainwashed her brother into marrying her]]. Applejack, meanwhile, is a war criminal.
* ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMov'' intentionally does this to just about all of the Mane Six for [[RuleOfFunny comedic purposes]]. Applejack (or rather, Jappleack) is a violent hick who often abuses Applebloom, Pinkie Pie is a drug-addicted AttentionWhore, Rainbow Dash is a straight-up {{Jerkass}}, Fluttershy is an AxCrazy, chainsaw-happy psychopath with a penchant for {{Slasher Smile}}s (who also sounds like [[WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids Fat Albert]]), Rarity enslaves Mexicans, and Twilight Sparkle is an incompetent MadScientist. Certain of them do get some CharacterDevelopment, the [[Blog/AskJappleack "Ask Jappleack"]] Tumblr page coming to mind.

* PlayedForLaughs in Fanfic/{{Stardust|Arad}}. [[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown XCOM]] listens to Twilight's description of the members of the Equestrian Government, and eventually conclude that [[BigGood Princess Celestia]] and [[DarkIsNotEvil Princess Luna]] have socially engineered the population into complacency while they exercise absolute rule, and that [[PowerOfLove Princess Cadance]] is the most directly dangerous of the three. [[ConspiracyTheorist Their conclusions]] are [[DramaticIrony hilariously inaccurate]].
* It's incredibly easy to fall into this trap in when writing a ''FanFic/TheConversionBureau'' fic, whether pro or anti. The general premise is that Equestria has landed on Earth and humans must become ponies to survive the magic that's consuming Earth. While Celestia is usually the focus for derailment and thus has an entry in her own folder above, the entire universe is incredibly prone to it. Pro-TCB stories generally go out of their ways to make HumansAreTheRealMonsters and in the process ''unintentionally'' make the ponies into a fantasy version of [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]], committing genocide simply out of racism and the belief that they have TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies. Anti-TCB stories make the UnfortunateImplications of regular TCB stories explicit, but rarely actually provide an actual ''explanation'' for why the ponies would suddenly decide that humanity, out of all the non-pony species they interact peacefully with, needs to be exterminated by AssimilationPlot. ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' is one of the few stories to provide an explanation for the AdaptationalVillainy of both Celestia and Equestria as a whole ([[spoiler:Celestia was brainwashed by an ArtifactOfDoom called the Bag of Tirek, and used its power to cast subtle mind control spells on the populace in pursuit of Tirek's agenda]]), and part of the point of the story is contrasting Imperial Equestria with the canon version, which is utterly horrified by their counterpart and declares war against them in favor of humanity.

* Prince Blueblood gets this ''a lot''. While he ''is'' a bit of a brat with an ego, he isn't the demon so many authors portray him as. It got to the point where somebody made a [[http://www.fimfiction.net/group/198/the-good-prince group]] featuring stories where this doesn't happen. To give a specific example, ''FanFic/FrigidWindsAndBurningHearts'' turned him into a sniveling coward who got an almost-erotic charge out of persecuting [[CreatorsPet Braveheart]], and who had previously physically assaulted Luna (something the sycophantic canon Blueblood would never think of doing).

%%* Ever since ''Rainbow Falls'', fans have been giving this treatment to Spitfire, who make her even more of a DrillSergeantNasty than she was in Wonderbolts Academy, abusing recruits, replacing fallen teammates on a regular basis, and being a generally awful pony. Despite the fact that the Friends Forever comics gave her a FreudianExcuse in that she has virtually NoSocialSkills and was raised by the military, fans still demonize her and make her a DomesticAbuser to either Soarin' or Rainbow Dash, who end up hooking up with each other and defeat the evil Spitfire with [[Film/ThePrincessBride twuu]] [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome wuve]]. While admittedly, what she did wasn't very nice, it was a one time event, and fans ignore that and make her an abusive bitch to Rainbow Dash, and especially Soarin. If fans they demonize Rainbow Dash, they often will make Spitfire even worse to give Rainbow a FreudianExcuse.

%%** A ZigzaggedTrope with Flash Sentry. He's considered TheScrappy by many hardcore fans simply as a "[[FanNickname Waifu Thief]]", often depicted as a cruel {{Jerkass}} or even an abusive boyfriend to Twilight and/or Sunset Shimmer, despite Flash being depicted as a genuinely NiceGuy in the canon ''Equestria Girls'' movies and shorts who only gets angry one time in ''Rainbow Rocks'' (and he was [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] when it happened). However, there are just as many fanfics and artworks that treat him quite sympathetically as an honorable Royal Guard who genuinely loves Twilight/Sunset, partially as a backlash against said hardcore fans and their vicious over-the-top {{Demonization}} of him - both Twilight/Flash and Sunset/Flash are popular fandom ships.

%%** Gloriosa Daisy is often demonized for getting in the way of [=TimberLight=] (despite the fact they're, y'know, [[NoYay siblings]]) by having her transform into Gaea Everfree to destroy Canterlot High and rape the every loving crap out of Twilight both physically and [[MindRape mentally]].

Or any combination of the three.

* A far share of fans consider Rarity's actions in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess Secret of My Excess]] to be incredibly heinous, choosing to look at her as a thief who practically seduced Spike to get a gem he had been saving for his birthday. This completely ignores the fact that one, it's never made explicitly clear that [[ObliviousToLove Rarity is aware of]] [[PrecociousCrush Spike's crush on her]], and two, she didn't actually seduce him, she simply said she really liked the ruby and Spike was so in love with her he gave it up willingly. She also gave him his largest present and seemingly most meaningful present at his birthday party about a week later, explicitly saying that she was inspired by his generosity.

[[folder: Other Characters]]

* ''Fanfic/FrigidWindsAndBurningHearts'' has Celestia banishing Luna to the Moon in order to protect her rule over Equestria and then spending a millennium cementing her control over ponykind. What makes this a particularly JustForFun/{{egregious}} case is that the author claims to be a fan of Celestia and that he intended the story to be a GreyAndGrayMorality tale.

* There's a lot of Celestia-abuse encoded in stories written under ''FanFic/TheConversionBureau'' umbrella, and while it's unintentional in the case of the pro-TCB fics (Celestia is usually presented as a benevolent god-queen, but FridgeHorror says otherwise), it is usually very much intentional in anti-TCB fics, because it's fairly hard to justify a Celestia [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure who acts like she does in canon]] invading another world with the intent to commit genocide by AssimilationPlot.
** Even the DeconstructorFleet of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' fell into this. While Prime Celestia is predictably horrified at her TBC counterpart's actions, she's criticized by others, including a [[DracoInLeatherPants leather-pantsed]] Discord, for [[MedievalStasis the consequences of her rule]] which, [[ForWantOfANail in the TBC timeline]], led to its fall to villainy. This overlooks that Discord's rule would have caused worse consequences if Celestia hadn't taken over, necessitating an [[AuthorsSavingThrow after the fact fix]] where Discord's forced to own up to this. And while TBC Celestia's case is justified by the fact that she's being brainwashed by an ArtifactOfDoom, her still being portrayed as an irredeemable monster despite having no control over her actions (being forced to commit most of the atrocities in the series [[AndIMustScream while being helpless to stop it]] made a case for her being the greatest victim in the whole story) caused more than a few fans [[CreatorBacklash and eventually, the co-writers]], to cry foul. The ContinuityReboot ''{{FanFic/SPECTRUM}}'' has promised to address this by giving both Celestia's more sympathetic portrayals.

* ''Fanfic/CheerileesGarden'', in which Cheerilee, a schoolteacher, becomes depressive and psychotic when her class of small children have the ''audacity'' to [[FelonyMisdemeanor act like a class of small children]]. Her answer to this crime? [[DisproportionateRetribution Murder all of them in front of the town in the guise of a "play"]].

* Played for a combination of [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]] and [[PlayedForDrama drama]] with the interpretation of Lyra and Bon Bon in ''FanFic/RomanceAndTheFateOfEquestria'', for the explicit purpose of putting a new twist on the OneTruePairing. The duo, though seldom seen, are depicted in a snarky and passive-aggressive SitcomArchNemesis role, but also show some tendencies and potential toward real villainy. Lyra is a wild MoodSwinger, her {{Fanon}} human obsession painted in a truly creepy light, while Bon Bon is a SmugSnake with an affinity for the BreakingLecture. The two of them have family histories straight out of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', even owning a swivel chair modeled after the Iron Throne, and other bloodstained weapons stated to be family heirlooms. They haven't yet proven themselves to be genuinely dangerous, but even Princess Luna finds them unsettling.

* You think [[TheBigGuy strong]], [[TheQuietOne silent]], [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan favorite]] Big [=MacIntosh=] isn't susceptible to this? Think again if you're unfamiliar with ''Sweet Apple Massacre''. In said fic, Big Mac seeks some peace and quiet from the [[PowerTrio Cutie Mark Crusaders]]. He derails into a sadistic monster, [[WouldHurtAChild torturing, raping and eventually murdering them]].

* In ''Fanfic/RitesOfAscension'', Twilight's mother Twilight Velvet went from the benign nonentity seen (briefly) in canon to a [[FantasticRacism tribalist]], neglectful harpy of a SocialClimber, for the sake of realism and a FreudianExcuse for her daughter's neuroses. Although some of her social obsession was (at least according to her) in order to defend her daughter from jealous attacks, and she gets better after her daughter banishes her to Ponyville to learn about friendship.
* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Gabriel+LaVedier Gabriel LaVedier's]] canon does this to Granny Smith. The Apples are reimagined "as a Faulknerian fallen Southern Gothic family", which translates to Granny having built their business via trapping other farms in gambling debts to absorb their land, and in both past and present being a stiff-necked racist who has no issue with disowning family members for marrying wrong (with a legal morass preventing her decrees from being undone even after she croaks). She does the same to her own son for "embarrassing" the family by being a card shark, i.e. doing the same in public that she did in private for decades (and in fact taught him to do to get him out of her mane). Since much of the canon revolves around non-traditional relationships, she is a frequently recurring antagonist to varying degrees. (To be fair, this started well before her canon backstory and characterization were fleshed out, mainly by "Family Appreciation Day").

* ''Fanfic/PrincessTrixieSparkle'' ramps up Trixie's villainous traits to the point where she wants to harm Twilight after what she's done to her.

* Evictus writes what may-or-may-not be {{Troll Fic}}s. Oftentimes the characterization is ''way'' out-of-character. A clear example is ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/317515/sexual-orientation Sexual Orientation]]'', where Twilight's parents and Celestia turn into straw {{Heteronormative Crusader}}s and are disgusted by Twilight coming out as lesbian in order to push a GayAesop. The opposite happens in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/360052/rejecting-a-friend Rejecting A Friend]]'', where ''Twilight'' gets upset when Rarity comes out to her. Then there's ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/364591/punishment-for-a-misdeed Punishment For A Misdeed]]'', where Twilight gives her good friend Pinkie a {{swirlie}} because she returned a book late to the library.
* ''Fanfic/{{Popped}}'' turns the backgrounder Pokey Pierce into a brutal SerialKiller who has been killing and torturing mares for a decade.

Princess Celestia got quite a bit of this treatment in fanon. Celestia is canonically the BigGood, who has some moments of good-natured humor, but is generally seen as wise, down-to-earth, and [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating beloved by all of her subjects]]. And while she has a few moments of being a TricksterMentor and perhaps sitting on the sidelines a bit too much, Celestia herself has said that this is only because she doesn't want everyone to rely on her to solve every problem, and she believes that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre everyone is more capable than they realize of overcoming great challenges]]. This is especially true in the case of Twilight Sparkle, whom Celestia personally mentors and trusts to complete incredible tasks.\\\
However, some portrayals of Celestia go way in the other direction; Celestia is often written as a {{Jerkass}} troll, an [[MemeticMolester outright rapist]], a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen heartless dictator who oppresses her people]], or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs a Jerkass troll of a rapist dictator]]. The justifications for this characterization often border on absurd; some fans insist to this day that Celestia did something wrong by banishing OmnicidalManiac Nightmare Moon or was "equally guilty" in the whole incident because Nightmare Moon is the SuperpoweredEvilSide of Celestia's sister Luna, borne of Luna's jealousy of her big sister and need for affection. Even after it was explicitly shown that Nightmare Moon attempted to murder a non-combative Celestia who tried to talk her down, some bronies still insist that Celestia was at fault for the whole thing, usually by insisting that Celestia purposely hoarded adoration away from Luna or did nothing to try to help her sister. Not only is there no evidence for either accusation, but it wouldn't come close to justifying attempted murder, regicide, and TheNightThatNeverEnds (which would eventually cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt) even if there ''was'' evidence.\\\
The treatment of Celestia becoming a villain is so prevalent, most fans have started to do it tongue-in-cheek. It's rare to find a work that tries to get close to her canon portrayal of a BigGood, though [[http://www.fimfiction.net/group/669/protect-celestia a group called "Protect Celestia"]] is dedicated to stories that avert this.

* There's also [[https://twitter.com/Jargon_Scott/status/108781181513497395 this little comic]] of Rainbow and Pinkie abusing Applejack by taunting her about her mom's apparent death.

* After "28 Pranks Later", fans have given Rainbow Dash the Troll status in that she gleefully messes with her friends such as this Applejack picture of her putting anvils over her head: https://www.deviantart.com/rainbowbacon1/art/To-some-she-was-The-Mad-Prankster-803862976.
* We also have ''Ultra Fast Pony'' which completely transforms Dash into a ditzy AlphaBitch who only cares about herself, loves to abuse Scootaloo, and doesn't care about Tank at all. It would seem the only Abridged Series or parody series of the series to ''not'' make her a total {{Jerkass}} is [[WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries The Mentally Advanced Series]], where she's ironically one of the more likeable characters despite being incredibly ditzy. And yet even in this she wants Twilight to ''hack Equestria Daily'' just so she can have [[DisproportionateRetribution revenge]] on the admin Sethisto for [[FelonyMisdemeanor only featuring her]] Rainbow Dash presents video in a Nightly Roundup when Friendship is Witchcraft gets it's own section. To be fair though in the actual story, she is still a FriendToAllChildren and an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.

* ''Pattycakes'' inflicts this on Fluttershy, turning her from a FriendToAllLivingThings who is able to resist Discord's BreakingSpeech through IncorruptiblePurePureness into a creepy "age play" fetishist who brainwashes Rainbow Dash and her other friends into an infantile state. It also does this to the rest of Ponyville, making them completely happy to go along with it.
* Thought Fluttershy was exempt from the "canon heroine becomes utterly psychotic" trope outside of Pattycakes? Think again! A NSFW fanfic known as "Love Me" took the idea of Fluttershy craving attention first envisioned in ''The Best Night Ever'' and goes as far as it can go. First, Fluttershy forces herself on Rainbow Dash, kills the "competition", and rapes the ever-loving shit out of her. Then, when Rainbow Dash, understandably scared and disgusted by her girlfriend's sudden cruelty, tries to escape, she is killed in cold blood in the process by her. ''Damn''.

* PlayedForLaughs in the comics series ''Flutterbitch Returns'', an alternate ending to ''Putting Your Hoof Down''. In one picture alone she trips [[WouldHurtAChild Spike]] while he's carrying glass shards and needles, tells Apple Bloom she'll never get her cutie mark and calls her a Blank Flank [[SmokingIsNotCool (while smoking no less)]], cooks Angel Bunny, chants [[FantasticRacism a racist chant to Zecora]] and worst of all, [[AndThatsTerrible takes ''two'' muffins from Derpy's stand]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rather than one like it says.]]

--->'''Twilight Sparkle''': I used to have this little toy named Mrs Buzzy. She was a stuffed bumblebee. And then one day while I was having a tea party, Celestia came, and she pulled out all of Mrs Buzzy's stuffing, and she filled her full of sliced bread, and she said, "There. Mrs Buzzy isn't real!" And then she told me to write a 300-page essay explaining what that proved. ''And I didn't KNOW!'' *cries*

* Then of course we have ''Ultra Fast Pony'' where Spitfire's an abusive spouse to Soarin and takes away their daughter Fleetfoot (exactly how they could have a daughter that looks about the same age as them yet still look youthful is beyond anyone's comprehension) for shits and giggles and abuses Soarin (to the the point of [[BlackComedyRape raping him]] and abuses their daughter Fleetfoot on a regular basis).

* ''Webcomic/RecallTheTimeOfNoReturn'' [[PlayingWithATrope plays with this]]. 1000 years in the future, the passing of Twilight's friends and a war has seemingly turned her into [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a cruel tyrant who murdered tens of thousands of her subjects under suspicion they were threats]]. When her friends [[TimeTravel arrive from the present]], they react to this with horror and disbelief and their DrivingQuestion is if this really is the case. As an example of TropesAreTools, [[spoiler:the ''subversion'' of this by revealing Twilight as an imposter]] [[BrokenBase received mixed reception]], with some feeling [[spoiler:Twilight actually turning evil would have been more a more engaging story and it made it an IdiotPlot due to no-one seriously considering this possibility until the end]].

* Also with Rainbow Dash, there's a disturbing amount of fan works that portray her as an abusive guardian to Scootaloo. One in particular is ''Flying Right'', which at first seems like a typical Scootaloo learns to fly from Rainbow Dash fanfic, nothing too bad. Until we get to the "present" where we find Scootaloo has been injured very badly. By whom? Rainbow Dash of course. Then we see Scootaloo talk about not only the physical abuse she went through (smacking, spanking, and even kicks to the face), but also the mental and verbal abuse. There's also art of Rainbow Dash physically harming Scootaloo which can all be found on Derpibooru under the tag Scootabuse. There's also Pattycakes in which prior to the events, Rainbow Dash bullied both Fluttershy (being one of the bullies at Flight Camp, if the flashbacks are to be believed) and Scootaloo to the point of ''tears''. It was the author's way of erasing any sympathy the readers had for Dash [[AssholeVictim in her]] [[{{Squick}} infantile state]] and to prevent anyone from feeling sorry for this canon's RD when she was reprogrammed into an infant. Let's just say out of all the mane six, Rainbow Dash gets the worst treatment and is essentially the MLP counterpart to Ron. There's also this: https://derpibooru.org/1870813 image of Scootaloo getting spanked by Rainbow also under Scootabuse. It's pretty common to see works change Rainbow's personality from a well-meaning big sister into a bully. There's also abuse edits of Rainbow Dash screaming at her parents like this: https://derpibooru.org/2037831

* There's also this little comic of Rainbow and Pinkie abusing Applejack by taunting her about her mom's apparent death. https://twitter.com/Jargon_Scott/status/1087811815134973953
