Line #52 Characters/FanficTheater3015


1	As the group's riffers are real people, they've declined to have themselves referred to as "characters" and so do not have a trope listing. Instead, here are tropes about the vast amounts of AlternateCharacterInterpretation they've done over the years.
2
3	[[foldercontrol]]
4
5	[[folder:General]]
6	!! Jackoff Johnny
7	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: After making Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo cry in "Cutie Bloom", he's said to have then gone to the park to yell at the squirrels.
8	* ChildHater: His first appearance was in the "Cutie Bloom" portion of the Multipart Blitz, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment when he acts extremely rude to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to the point of making them cry]].
9	* GrumpyOldMan: If the name wasn't a tipoff already, whenever he's mentioned, it's in relation to him being an asshole.
10	* [[NonindicativeName Non-Indicative Marking]]: He has a golf club cutie mark, but his talent is being a bowler.
11
12	!! Moonshine!Twilight
13	* TheAlcoholic: Duh. She always seems to have a jar on standby.
14	* DrowningMySorrows: Upon learning that the Fazbear anamatronics are a thing in "Springtrapped", she busts out a jar to "make the bad images go away".
15	* HiddenSupplies: A running gag in ''Equestria Girls'' fics is that Twilight set up hidden stashes of moonshine in Canterlot High during her time there, which other characters tend to find.
16	* TemporaryBlindness: During the "Twilight the tank engine the new arrival" section of the first Obscure Crossover Shuffler (the first time her addiction was brought up), it was revealed that she had become blind "[[NoodleIncident again]]" from too much moonshine.
17	* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: A one-off gag suggests that "Twilight the tank engine the new arrival" was really just from the perspective of Twilight as she wandered through Ponyville "in a daze screaming nonsense about trains".
18	-->["]The fact that she smelt of moonshine did not help."
19	* TookALevelInJerkass: It's suggested during "Cutie Bloom" that her forcing Applejack to [[spoiler:[[TooDumbToLive end the search party for Apple Bloom purely because she attacked someone out of grief]]]] was a result of drunkenness.
20	** Earlier, an instance of Spike calling out Twilight for reading while Applejack was crying resulted in Twilight ''stopping his heart and '''killing him'''''.
21	--->'''Twilight''': There, now when you pop back to life in five minutes, ''then'' we can talk about my habits...
22	*** JerkassHasAPoint: She then kills him ''again'' when he becomes ignorant of the whole "Apple Bloom running away due to being bullied" issue.
23	---->'''Twilight''': ...I’m not even going to comment on that and how dickish that was, [[DeadlyEuphemism I'm just going to put you in time out.]] (kills Spike again)
24	** She takes ''several'' levels in [[spoiler:"Around The Bend"]] due to being forced into Alcoholics Anonymous.
25	* WeWantOurJerkBack: Her extremely anal behavior in [[spoiler:"Around The Bend"]] was attributed to her being forced into Alcoholics Anonymous, causing others to remark that she needs to stop going. [[spoiler:[=Crazy56U=]'s interpretation of the fic's ending sees Twilight opt to do just that... after falling off the wagon and polishing off enough moonshine to forget that the fic ever happened.]]
26
27	!! Nobody, Alicorn Princess of Everything (Flame Striker)
28	* {{Irony}} / TakeThat: While [=Crazy56U=] originally called her "Nobody" due to [[NoNameGiven an initial lack of an actual name]], the literal moment she stated her name "Flame Striker", he decided to double down.
29	* IHaveManyNames: Generally speaking, every time someone uses the word 'nobody' she shows up, with a title befitting the point the term is used.
30	* {{Jerkass}}: She did not endear herself to the riffers ''at all'' in "Tree of Harmony". To name an example, it being mentioned how she represents the Element of Kindness caused [=Crazy56U=] to burst out laughing, while it being mentioned how she also represented Laughter [[ReviewIronicEcho caused him to laugh harder]].
31	* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "Nobody, Alicorn Princess of _______"
32
33	!! Paint!Celestia
34	* PasteEater: She usually has a can of paint on standby.
35	* TookALevelInDumbass: You'd have to if you drink paint on a regular basis.
36	* TookALevelInJerkass: Whether because of, or in spite of drinking paint, Celestia comes off as more blunt and assholish.
37	* TakeThat: The origin of this characterization comes from the "Past Sins" anniversary riff, where [=Crazy56U=] justifies her in-story stupidity / rashness as the result of chugging paint.
38
39	!! Pot Dealer!Fluttershy
40	* GoodIsNotNice: The Element of Kindness doubles as a pot dealer on the side.
41	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pot brownies.
42
43	!! Spike
44	* BadassBoast: He's effectively immortal and sometimes he knows it.
45	* DeathIsCheap: [[RunningGag Duh.]] Bare minimum of five minutes, he's up and running again. It's even gotten to the point that, during the "Forever Faithful" portion of the Anniversary Shuffle, it's mentioned by Twilight that Spike had died enough times that his ghosts ''litter'' Hell.
46	-->''Still, it’s kind of lonely. I seem to be the only pony here, though I can occasionally hear whispers.''
47	--->'''[=Crazy56U=]''': "Granted, they ''are'' from Spike's multiple deaths... [[ARareSentence ...it's honestly kind of weird to put that down into words, to be frank...]]"
48	* HarmlessElectrocution: Defied: during the "Forever Faithful" portion of the Anniversary Shuffle, a past incident is [[NoodleIncident alluded to]] involving Spike repeatedly sticking a fork into an electrical outlet out of boredom, just to see how long he could do it before he stopped rezzing.
49	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: You can thank [[spoiler:"Moonlight, Moonlight, Let My Fangs Gleem Tonight"]] for this trait.
50	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Played with: it winds up being brought up on occasion how Spike kinda doesn't like how he keeps dying.
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:The Catch]]
54	''NOTE: Do not confuse these characterizations with the characters of [[RecursiveFanfiction The Fumble]].''
55
56	!! Captain Spyglass
57	* BodyHorror: A fully-functional telescope / spyglass is stabbed into his left eye and out the back of his head.
58	* MeaningfulName: Has a spyglass piercing his skull.
59	* OnlySaneMan
60
61	!! Rye Mash
62	* ExtremeOmnisexual: Tries to fuck his own ''gun''.
63
64	!! Cerise "Bloody" Velvet
65	* TheAllegedCar: Robot version.
66	* {{Flanderization}}: Her malfunctioning robot interpretation is derived solely from her excessive twitching.
67	* NoIndoorVoice: Her volume is stuck on max. Woe manages to fix it for some time, but it eventually gets stuck again.
68	* RobotGirl
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Dakari-King Mykan fics]]
72	!! Lightning Dawn (Not!Twilight, Lightning [=McQueen=])
73	* BadLiar: In ''Starfleet Humans'', regarding not being an alien.
74	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It's suggested on at least one occasion that his "friends" only put up with him because Grand Ruler makes them, under threat of GULAG!
75	* IdiotHero: He's portrayed as being dumber than a sack of bricks, with questionable literacy and no common sense at all.
76	* ItsAllAboutMe: As far as Lightning is concerned, no one is allowed to be more awesome than he is. Which isn't saying much.
77	* LazyBum: Whines about having to do anything resembling work.
78	* TooDumbToLive: He regularly charges into battle against monsters and Titan's minions even though he's so unfit he's been hospitalized at ''every single day'' of the annual ''mandatory'' fitness day.
79	** When Titan drags White Village (and later other places) into the [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger Shadow Line]] and replaces it with a duplicate made entirely out of waterproof cardboard, Lightning notices only to conclude that it ''always had been'' like that.
80
81	!! Krysta
82	* CaptainObvious: ''[[InsistentTerminology Commodore]]'' Obvious, actually.
83
84	!! Cookie Dough (Cookie Monster)
85	* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster
86	* MindControl: Why everyone thinks his food is the most delicious they ever tasted, even when they're eating ''weights''.
87	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Titan implies he was able to break his seal by mind-controlling Grand Ruler into releasing him, made extremely easy due to Cookie constantly mind-controlling him with takeout.
88	* NominalHero: Is a mafia boss that mind-controls his customers into thinking his food is delicious and uses guns smuggled from other dimensions to coerce everyone else.
89
90	!! Titan
91	* TheCorruption: He managed to get Nightmare Moon and Discord to do his bidding by blasting them with the Shadow Line's darkness.
92	* {{Expy}}: of [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] with elements of [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger the Emperor of Darkness]]
93	* ForTheEvulz: He builds his planning model for the Shadow Line between the TV and Dementia's seat in the living room for no reason other than mess with her.
94	* MotiveRant: [=SC276=] gives him an [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome epic]] one in part 6, spelling out how he acquired the Shadow Line, what exactly he did to Nightmare Moon and Discord, and why he attacked Unicornicopia at all: [[spoiler:national pride over Grand Ruler being a [[TheGeneralissimo bigger villain]] than anyone in the Dimension of Evil ever was]].
95	* PaperThinDisguise: Whenever he turns a town into a Shadow Town, he replaces where it disappeared from on the surface with a facsimile made of waterproof cardboard. The only ones fooled are Lightning Dawn and Grand Ruler.
96	* RailroadBaron: Actively working to build and expand the Shadow Line.
97	** He actually managed to turn White Village, Lightning's hometown, into a Shadow Town, making it part of the Shadow Line. It's stated in Part 3 that he also took Bluesville, but after his defeat, the minions end up [[EpicFail ejecting it back]] later in the part.
98	** Thanks to his minions' eventually figuring everything out and laying low after losing their MidSeasonUpgrade, the entirety of Unicornicopia except Grand Ruler's palace and Brain's lab becomes part of the Shadow Line. He then sends Discord to destroy what's left of Unicornicopia so they'll remain locked in darkness forever.
99
100	!! Serpent-Tyrant
101	* {{Expy}}: [=SC276=] gives him the speech and mannerisms of [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Enter]] (despite his nametag for him being "''[[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants ALASKAN BULL WORM]]''").
102	--> "Ça va, Unicorn?"
103
104	!!Grand Ruler Celesto
105	* DirtyOldMan: Several lines imply that he has sexual relations with Lightning Dawn, though nothing explicit is ever said or confirmed.
106	* FakeUltimateHero: It's implied that he only ''claims'' to control the weather and the movement of the sun and moon.
107	* TheGeneralissimo: Beloved Grand Ruler Celesto rules over [[PoliceState Uniconicopia]] with a democratic iron fist. Any who displease him sent straight to [[TheGulag GULAG!!!]]
108	* ItsAllAboutMe: Moreso than even Lightning Dawn.
109	* RaceFetish: Celesto is sexually attracted to [[FairyCompanion Krysta]].
110
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Other riff-specific]]
114	!! Twainlight Cargo
115	-->'''From:''' Obscure Crossover Shuffle
116	* ForcedTransformation: Twilight turned into a sentient train when she accidentally teleported herself into the world of WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends. She got used to it quickly.
117	* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Twilight doesn't seem to miss being a pony at all, and due of the UsefulNotes/{{plagiarism}} of her original story, she seems to forget about her life as a pony completely after Celestia and Luna let her remain on Sodor.
118	* PaletteSwap: She's basically a lavender Thomas.
119
120	!! Grodus!Celestia
121	-->'''From:''' ''Past Sins'' Original Edit
122	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:He's trying to stop the revival of Nightmare Moon by all means in order to keep others from repeating the mistake of EvilIsNotAToy he made at the end of his game.]]
123	* LatexPerfection: Presumably how he accomplishes the job of impersonating Celestia. Given the two have nothing in common in terms of body structure, that's impressive.
124	* RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:Tears half of her "face" off when the Nightmare Moon Fan Club escape with Nyx out of frustration. Nopony notices.]]
125	* ShockAndAwe: Grodus being capable of lightning attacks like what disrupts the ritual in the first chapter is what causes [=SC276=] to create this interpretation.
126	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "I am not an evil computer-man, beep boop."
127	* TimeStandsStill: One of his spells, offered as an explanation for why [[spoiler:Twilight didn't stop Celestia from taking Nyx away]].
128	* UnexpectedCharacter: Sir Grodus, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', has replaced and disguised himself as Celestia.
129
130	!! "Past Sins"!Rarity
131	-->'''From:''' ''Past Sins'' Original Edit
132	* ButtMonkey: Following Rarity's [[FourthWallObserver fourth wall induced]] [[SanitySlippage lapse of sanity]], ''nobody'' noticed or cared.
133	* FourthWallObserver: Mentioned as a one-off gag concerning the fic's "rough rough draft", once Rarity began asking questions about the "Reunion of the Royal Pony Sisters" script, she became aware of the nature of her reality.
134	* SanitySlippage: Upon realizing she was a cartoon character in a fanfic, she became depressed, then insane.
135	* WholePlotReference: Minus the depression, Rarity's one-off gag characterization winds up echoing Doug from ''Series/TilDeath''.
136
137	!! Lance / Girokon (Lancelot)
138	-->'''From''': The First 24 Chapters of ''Living the Dream''
139	* BadLiar: No one believes him whenever he says anything. ''No one''.
140	* CameBackWrong: Played with: [[spoiler:after Lancelot is (according to some, undeservedly) brought back to life by God, several characters are convinced he's now a zombie]].
141	* CassandraTruth: Eventually, his lying reached the point where whenever he actually tries being ''honest'', no one believes him for a second.
142	* TheChewToy: Even factoring in the ''actual'' events of the story, the riffers have taken to running him through the wringer.
143	* ConsummateLiar: Played with: it's agreed upon that he ''constantly'' lies... but ''no one'' believes him.
144	* MeaningfulName: "Lance" being renamed "Lancelot" actually winds up fitting if you know a thing about Arthurian lore (specifically that Lancelot was a prime factor in the fall of the Round Table).
145	* PhraseCatcher: "What, like the sandwich?"
146	* {{Satan}}: [=Crazy56U=] ultimately reaches the conclusion that, given his constant lying and snake pupils, Lancelot is actually Satan himself.
147	* TooDumbToLive: It takes [[spoiler:Rainbow almost raping him]] to learn the painfully obvious factoid that Twilight is in to him.
148	** This is also literal: he accidentally [[spoiler:eats a poisoned cupcake Rainbow made that was meant for Twilight... which winds up ''killing'' him]].
149	* WeaksauceWeakness: Crowds looking at him for extended periods of time. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Not kidding.]]
