History YMMV / TheRockFarmersDaughters

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: the fans were ''very'' happy with [[spoiler: Cortland's death. Cue numerous train jokes.]]
** Averted in-universe despite Harlson expecting it. Igneous realizes that [[spoiler: his neighbors lost a son and their other children lost a brother and gives Harlson the first comforting words he's heard since Cortland's death.]]

* {{Jossed}}: The birth order of the Pie Sisters in this fic is Maud, Pinkamena, Limestone, and Marble. The canon birth order is Limestone, Maud, Pinkie, and Marble. Justified in that it was written before Season Five even aired.
* MoralEventHorizon: For Cortland, it'd be either [[spoiler:the moment where he tricks Igneous into fighting hard enough to tear a muscle and then kidnapping him]] or [[spoiler:lighting the house that Pinkamena, Cheese, and Igneous were in on fire in an attempt to kill them]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Cheese's story about the murderous coworker and the mare who replaced him finding out she was pregnant soon before her due date was based on an [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory actual event in the author's life]] involving her family's horses. That said, that tale got a little depressing when the real horse born from the event, Shiloh, [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/635960/i-cant-believe-it died from colic]] nearly a year and a half after the story was finished, when he was just four.

** Many ''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty and the Beast]]'' jokes have been made concerning Cortland being the "Gaston" to Pinkamena's "Belle". Considering that Cheese is the "Beast" of the LoveTriangle, it gets hilarious once you read ''[[Fanfic/TheTommyverse Brotherly Bonding Time]]'' by the same author, [[spoiler:where Cheese turns into a werewolf]].

** The Pies are a family of [[StoicWoobie Stoic Woobies]]. After all, there's the rumors and the lingering grief from [[spoiler:the grandmothers' deaths]]. They don't show how much those hurt--[[NotSoStoic most of the time]]. However, [[spoiler:nearly losing a father and a sister to a fire]] visibly shakes them, including [[EmotionlessGirl Maud]].

** Marble's insistence that she's not shy after [[HypocriticalHumor shying away at the sight of Bluejinx]] is much funnier considering canon Marble is shyer than S1!Fluttershy.

** ''[[TheTommyverse Brotherly Bonding Time]]'' reveals that his Main 'verse counterpart is still a jerk, but he thankfully doesn't have a mare to be obsessed over, so he won't be committing any crimes anytime soon.

** Igneous Rock could count as one. [[spoiler:His father died when he was young, his sister ran away after being humiliated by a colt she liked, and then his mother died along with his mother-in-law, and he was helpless as his entire family fell into grief that lasted for years]]. He's the subject of rumors in Nickerlite, and is forced to keep on protecting his daughters from stallions, with Cheese only being hired because he seemed harmless. [[spoiler:And then he starts suspecting Cheese to be NotSoHarmless, and later fires him out of paranoia and anger at his disobedience. And then his daughter Pinkamena runs away, and while he tries to go after her, he gets caught in a fight, he tears a muscle, gets tar on his back, and kidnapped by Cortland. And then he's caught in the same fire Cheese and Pinkamena are in, and nearly dies from smoke inhalation]]. The author is not kind to them.
