* EarnYourHappyEnding: Lucky fluffies might go right from happy life with mumma to happy life with an owner or one of the rare good feral herds, but the majority need to go through more trials and suffering than a cuddly childlike biotoy was ever meant to if they want a good life.

to:

* DungFu: The smarty friend's favored tactic for trying to make a human leave their land to the invading herd, and many a bratty pet fluffy's favored way of sticking it to their owner. It doesn't usually achieve much apart from incurring the human's wrath, and in the case of the smarty (or the pet fluffy in some stories), ensuring a painful death.

After hearing of this, [={{PETA}}=] engages in an act of bioterrorism, freeing all the fluffies being produced at Hasbio. There were three problems with this: the fluffies still had bugs, fluffies were never meant to breed outside of Hasbio and fluffies were never meant to live outside of a home or store. The released fluffies have a very high breeding rate; this, along with their cuteness, causes people to begin breeding and selling fluffies across America.

The premise is simple

to:

The premise is simple
simple: TwentyMinutesInTheFuture, {{Hasbro}} creates a genetic engineering wing, Hasbio. To capitalize on the insane success of Friendship Is Magic, they create the world's first "biotoy" (a term which is intentionally divisive, referring to the concept of a living thing created and marketed as if it were a toy.) This was the Fluffy Pony, a housecat-sized creature that resembled a G4 My Little Pony with wool-like fluff. Fluffy ponies are bio-programmed; though they have their own minds and can differ drastically, they all start off with the same core information. They innately understand English and can speak their own cutesy dialect, commonly referred to as Fluffspeak. Fluffspeak is mostly an executive's idea of what sounds cute (replacing L and R with W, mispronouncing big words, adding -ies as a plural, etc) combined with a sanitized dictionary (poopies, no-no place.) Fluffy ponies come in 4 races: Earth Fluffies, Unicorns, Pegasi and Alicorns. The differences are mainly cosmetic (pegasi cannot fly, unicorns can make harmless sparks at most), though their personalities are

Added DiffLines:


Please do not add tropes for specific small stories; rather, tropes here should be broad tropes that show up in many works.


Added DiffLines:

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Lucky fluffies might go right from happy life with mumma to happy life with an owner or one of the rare good feral herds, but the majority need to go through more trials and suffering than a cuddly childlike biotoy was ever meant to if they want a good life.


Added DiffLines:

* FixFic: People popularly remake other creators' stories/pictures or make sequels to show what they believe happened afterwards.


Added DiffLines:

* FourTempermentEnsemble: Fluffy race stereotypes and herd dynamics fit under this:
** Sanguine: Unicorns, Smarty Friends (unicorn fluffs have a higher chance to be Smarties over other races)
** Choleric: Earth Fluffies, Toughie Friends
** Phlematic: Pegasi, Herd Members
** Melancholic: Alicorns, Mummas (though both share similar characteristics, alicorns rarely get pregnant as most fluffies hate them.)


Added DiffLines:

* ShaggyDogStory: Many fluffy pony stories are either this or ShootTheShaggyDog, spending a long time with a fluffy only for it to drown at the very end.


Added DiffLines:

* ShootTheDog: Many people do terrible things to fluffies not because they want to, but because it's honestly the best option for either that fluffy or other fluffies at the time. Exterminators and Smarties are the most prolific examples.
** TheDogShotFirst: In stories where people pretty clearly want to do horrible things to fluffies, but the writer doesn't want an unpalatable sociopath for a protagonist, the fluffy will start the problem somehow.


Added DiffLines:

* ThrowTheDogABone: Fluffy life is suffering. But sometimes, a feral gets adopted by a loving owner and both sides are happy.
** As much of the fluffy fandom's content is fluffies in various stages of suffering, the very existence of stories or pictures with happy fluffies and no drawbacks could be considered "throwing a bone" to the species.
** YankTheDogsChain: A lot of stories and art sequences that start off nice and cuddly do ''not'' end that way.

* ForcedToWatch: Can be as simple as making an evil mother watch her children eating a warm spaghetti meal or as malicious as cripping a Smarty and making him watch the destruction of his herd.



* SharePhrase: Due to their cookie-cutter genetic programming, totally different fluffies will "come up with" the same [[CatchPhrase catchphrases]].
** "Hewwo, new fwend?" -to anything, including inanimate objects and clearly dangerous people.
** "How time tiww weggies?" -fluffies who lose all their limbs fancy this. This happens more than one would think.
** "Wan die" - when a fluffy no long wants to live, it will enter a loop and continuously say this.
* ShoutOut: With no editors or restrictions, creators can reference whatever they'd like (and they do.) FriendshipIsMagic is popularly referenced, as the Hasbio backstory is reliant on it and many fluffy fandom members are fans of the show.



* SurprisePregnancy: It's obvious for an onlooker when a fluffy mare is pregnant (they swell up into balls and need to be rolled from place to place), but the mare herself may be surprised to find that there are babies inside of her.



* ThrewMyBikeOnTheRoof: How many people mess with fluffies, messing with their toys. Sometimes the fluffy is the bike and the owner is the victim.

* AllCrimesAreEqual: Who's delivering the punishment usually matters a lot more than whatever the fluffy did.
** Hugboxer: Pooped on the floor, threw a tantrum, broke a priceless heirloom? Spanking, time in the Sorry Box, loss of toys. Rarely more than that.
** Abuser: Turning into a brat? Death. Poop on the ground? Death. Don't finish your food? Amputation (or death if you can't amputate any more.)
** Shelter worker: As fluffy shelters are for-profit, you'll probably be killed if you're not sellable.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Good fluffies are generally complacent, and the ambitious ones tend to become brats or Smarty Friends.



* AssholeVictim: Both sides. Fluffy herds are usually the victims of abuse, and many are annoying and deserve what comes to them. But it's hard to sympathize with the guy who gets his yard wrecked and his shoes pooped on when he proceeds to torture and mutilate the fluffies.

* AssholeVictim: Both sides. Fluffy herds BewilderingPunishment: Fluffies are usually the victims of abuse, pretty dumb, have short attention spans and forget things easily. This combination means that many are annoying punished fluffies end up unaware of why they're being punished at all.
** Fluffies popularly interpret ''anything bad'' as punishment directed at them, so a fluffy might walk into a wall
and deserve what comes ask it "why huwt fwuffy?!"
* BreakTheCutie: The goal of many abusers and a side-effect of fluffy feral life.
* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Fluffies take a while
to them. But it's hard to sympathize with learn that the guy who gets his yard wrecked television doesn't really have fluffies in it. They will also believe in fictional stories and his shoes pooped on when he proceeds to torture figments of their own imagination. One imagines a monster, and mutilate [[YourMindMakesItReal the fluffies.imaginary monster kills it.]]



* ConstantlyCurious: [[http://www.fluffybooru.org/post/view/6853 This]] is pretty typical. Usually harmless, though curiousity can kill the fluffy.



* DeathByFallingOver: Fluffies die easily, especially in comedic works.



* EatsBabies: Cottonfluffs have this as a punchline. Selfish fluffies will eat their own foals and others' foals.

to:

* DisproportionateRetribution: In spades. Making "bad poopies" (not in the litterbox, generally by accident) can get a fluffy beaten or physically/mentally tortured. Invading a human's land is at the kindest an invitation to be abused and at worst a death sentence for everyfluffy involved.
** Even hugboxers dip into this due to the culture around the punishment of fluffies. Some will kill entire fluffy families or condemn them to suffering for rejecting a runt, while taking in the runt.
* EatTheEvidence: Fluffies usually use this as their go-to method for hiding evidence, as they have few other options. Occasionally enforced by owners or abusers, in the case of "bad poopies" or a [[EatsBabies dead foal]].
* EatsBabies: Cottonfluffs have this as a punchline. Selfish fluffies will eat their own foals and others' foals.foals in times of hunger. Occasionally used to get rid of a dead or different foal.


Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The worst Smarties still love their families (even Maroon). Horrible abusers may still have a great social life, their evil limited only to fluffies.
* ExaltedTorturer: Abusers in abuse-focused stories are often this.
* FalseRapeAccusation: Smart female domestics who want babies will let feral fluffies mate with them and then invoke this trope. As most fluffies are bad liars and both humans and fluffies will rarely harass a rape victim, the mare usually pulls it off. Occasionally used by feral mares to advance their position (accusing the Smarty of raping them and letting the herd attack.)


Added DiffLines:

* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: Fluffies highly value friendship, making this very effective. Fluffy retailers will do this, keeping unsalable fluffies as friends for the merchandise and punishing them to avoid damaging the goods.
** This is a way of disciplining fluffy mothers: as they tend to have many foals and most owners don't want many adult fluffies as pets, the foals may be harmed of killed for the mother's actions.
** On a lighter note, fluffies consider inanimate objects to be friends. Hugboxers can take advantage of this and punish their fluffies by "punishing" a plastic ball or other toy.
* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife: Be a fluffy and do ANYTHING that a human in the area does not like. Eating a pretty flower, pooping on their grass, playing loudly. The justice inflicted on you will range from a ruined life to death to ''all of the above, inflicted on all your friends and family.''
** A fluffy that disobeys their Smarty Friend's rules will get a lesser version of this.


Added DiffLines:

* NaiveNewcomer: By their nature, fluffies are excellent for this. Usually takes the form of a curious fluffy having its questions answered by a human. New human employees are generally used for this in settings that are less personable to fluffies.


Added DiffLines:

* RevengeByProxy: Highly effective due to the bonds of friendship that fluffies form.
* RevengeThroughCorruption: As fluffy foals only take about a month or less to fully mature, a dedicated abuser can quickly raise a victim's child with whatever corruption is desired.
** Hugboxers can invert this in a sense, taking in a bad fluffy's foal(s) and raising them to be much better than their parents.

Your Mileage May Vary is an index, not a trope. It should not be linked from any trope or work page for any reason.


An important point to note is that the fluffy pony fandom has ''no defined canon.'' Rather, it uses a concept called "headcanon", in which every creator has their own specific rules for fluffies. There are concepts that are popular and virtually unchangeable (personalities, speech patterns, love of spaghetti), but much of what makes a fluffy pony is subject to the creator (size, whether certain subspecies exist, what the universe of their story is like). This means that many of the tropes here will vary by author/story and YourMileageMayVary.

* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: Hungry fluffies will realise that other fluffies can be "nummies." Especially common with foals, by stray fluffies or their own parents.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Or rather, HasBio's Hasbio's attempt at creating such a creature, with the pitfalls that would follow such a creature in real life. Art and stories may play it straight or not.


Added DiffLines:

* UncannyValley: Fluffies intentionally fall right into it, being surprisingly human in some ways while also being unmistakably animalistic in other ways and, depending on the writer, even mechanical at times.
* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: Heavily played with. Fluffies are intended to be incredibly cute. Depictions range from pretty anime ponies to poop-covered chimeras with weird hair.

An important point to note is that the fluffy pony fandom has ''no defined canon.'' Rather, it uses a concept called "headcanon", in which every creator has their own rules for fluffies. There are concepts that are popular and virtually unchangeable (personalities, speech patterns, love of spaghetti), but much of what makes a fluffy pony is subject to the creator. This means that many of the tropes here will vary by story and YourMileageMayVary.

The premise is simple

* Brainwashed: Fluffies are dumb, trusting creatures and can be easily manipulated, even to the point of convincing them that rocks are food or that they never had an owner with one conversation (even when that very owner is within eyesight.) Even smarter fluffies can be subject to indoctrination over long periods of time.
** A taser or another electrical shock can, in some stories, 'reset' a fluffy and make it believe whatever you tell it for a few seconds after the shock.



* IdiotHero: The majority of fluffies that are main characters in stories.
* IdiotPlot: Since fluffy ponies are naturally idiots, the fandom is filled with well-written, intentional instances of this trope



* LethallyStupid: A fluffy pony may not be very strong, but it will find a way to destroy anything by accident. Safe rooms are partially for their benefit and partially for the owner's.



* MindControlDevice: Tasers.



* StrayingBaby: Very common with fluffy foals, who end up in all sorts of peril once they can leave their mothers.
* TooDumbToLive: A fluffy pony will kill itself in all sorts of ways.

* YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb: Fluffies are usually very young, taking only a month in most headcanons to go from newborn to adult. [[TooDumbToLive They rarely live to their first birthday without human aid.]]
