History YMMV / RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse

** Not sure if this trope really applies, given that Lunaverse-Trixie is a different character from Maneverse-Trixie; it's no more DracoInLeatherPants than the evil mirror Kirk from ''Star Trek'' is an example of RonTheDeathEater.

** Not sure if that's the case. In ''Longest Night, Longest Day,'' she acts like a jerk and gets called out on it and specifically has everything blow up in her face. In ''Helping...Hands?'', she does something incredibly stupid and spends the rest of the fic trying to set things right, while Lyra and Bon Bon both call her out on it. Her chapter in ''Tales of Ponyville'' has opened with her bungling things with Pokey Pierce and proceeding to nearly lose Raindrops' friendship. ''Hero of Oaton'' has her having to owe up to a mistake she made in the past even as she makes whole new ones, which nearly cost a small foal their life, and in the end she apologizes. Her scene with Blueblood in ''At the Grand Galloping Gala'' is the only true DracoInLeatherPants moment, and it's in a very small part of the fic at its end in a scene that is almost entirely throw-away.
** Also, Lunaverse-Trixie is a different character from Maneverse-Trixie; it's no more DracoInLeatherPants than the evil mirror Kirk from ''Star Trek'' is an example of RonTheDeathEater.

** Also lampshaded later by Amethyst Star.

** The situation was bad enough that series creator RainbowDoubleDash recently banned all discussion and fics about the Night Court, the exception being any fics currently in-progress.

* BrokenBase: There are four camps relating to 'At the Grand Galloping Gala', the culmination of the season 1 'Night Court' storyline. One faction feels that the fic ruins things because it makes the Night Court too dark and evil, able to cause a whole town to suffer because one pony in it hates Trixie. One faction feels that the fic ruins things because it turns Trixie and co. into hypocritical criminals and Luna into a tyrant for letting them get away with what is essentially treason in order to expose/punish the (comparatively smaller) crimes of the bad nobles. A third group thinks that the fic breaks everything in both ways; that by implying that treason is the only way to fix the Court, it makes the Court far more broken and malign than before while also not actually solving the corruption (since Trixie and co. would get away with what they did). And a fourth faction likes things just fine.

* HypeBacklash: The villain of the long-awaited ''Crisis on Two Lunaverses'' has been derided for its lackluster "villain."

* NightmareFuel: Twilight's [[ApocalypticLog increasingly]] [[SanitySlippage deranged]] journal entries at the beginning of each chapter.

* [[WallBangers/{{Other}} Wall Banger]]: 'At the Grand Galloping Gala', for many who believe that the Court was made out to be much worse than before (retroactively making Equestria a much worse place to live, and Luna a much worse ruler), that Night Light's actions are almost psychopathically harsh, that Trixie's (treasonous) response completely wrecks her character arc and makes her NotSoDifferent from her enemies, and that the whole thing in general destroys much of what was loved about the Lunaverse.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Actions taken by Trixie and co. are depicted as virtuous, though identical actions taken by the villains are seen as villainous. An example occurs in 'At the Grand Galloping Gala,' when shortly after castigating the entire Court for manipulating each other to force selfish outcomes, Luna then accepts that Trixie has just done the same thing to her. Luna also blasts the court for extorting and blackmailing each other and others, and Trixie agrees with her... and then, a few hours later, extorts Blueblood not to reveal some things she's done.

*** To be fair, a bit of this is muddled by the fact that many of Trixie's actions clearly ''are'' supposed to be read as petty and self-centered, and not a good thing, because being a jerk is just part of who she is as a character. Though often as not when Trixie does something bad it's being played for laughs.
*** In addition, Trixie's actions actually do serve to make the court a better place, and yet she also goes into knowing full well she might be severely punished for the act of borderline treason anyway. Wereas the corrupt among the nobility are only ever serving their own selfish ambitions and always try to weasel their way out of any repercussions. Furthermore, while she does later blackmails Blueblood, she does so not to protect her own reputation, but rather to ensure Blueblood doesn't wreck the changes she's set in motion before they have time to take root (plus while she threatens to use the truth poison on him, that's just a trick and one she knows he'll figure out eventually).

** Long comment threads in 'At the Grand Galloping Gala' reveal that some folks think that fic includes moral event horizons for Viceroy Night Light (who [[spoiler: delayed reconstrution funding to Ponyville because he hates Trixie]]), the Court as a whole (who tolerates this), and/or Trixie (who RDD has implied will [[spoiler: use the Truth is a Scourge potion on the entire Court and force them all to reveal all their secrets, which would be hypocritical, since that act itself is highly illegal and borders on treason but she intends to do it to protest the illegal dealings of the Court]]).

* JumpingTheShark: Trixie's actions in 'At the Grand Galloping Gala' to some, according to comment threads on the stories and the Lunaverse message board.

* [[spoiler:AlasPoorVillain: Just before Zecora saves her flank, we see Corona devoid of her upper ground...and that she is honestly and truly ''insane'', utterly incapable of trusting other ponies except as subordinates, and honestly thinking she's the last line of defense against everything. It's kind of sad to see how Celestia could have been if she was a bit more paranoid.]]
** [[spoiler: Applejack]] gets a good dose of this in Carrot Top Season. She's just fighting to make sure no one starves on her watch, and she'll do anything to ensure that no one does.

** Your mileage may vary on that?

* MomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Shining Armor trolling Corona. That is all.]]
** And then later [[spoiler:Cheerilee using her apparent last moments to go GrammarNazi on the same.]]

* ObviousJudas: In retrospect, the suspicion [[spoiler: Zecora's]] actions earn is well-deserved, though the jury is still out on [[spoiler: Spike]].
