4	''Doctor Whooves – The Series'' by [=Loyal2Luna=][[note]] SheAlsoDid ''Fanfic/MassEffectTheEquestrianEquation'', a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''Franchise/MassEffect''[[/note]] is a {{crossover}} FanFic series between ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', [[RecursiveFanfiction splitting off]] from the events of ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/99/1/number-12/number-12 Number 12]]'' and ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/109/traveler Traveler]]'', both by [[AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures Squeak Anon]].
5
6	The Doctor goes on adventures across time and space with the Mane 6 (just not all at once, he can't keep track of six companions simultaneously). As of yet, four regular episodes have been released:
7
8	* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3268/Doctor-Whooves---The-Series%3A-Episode-One---The-Pinkie-Conundrum The Pinkie Conundrum]] - Following the events of ''Traveler'', Twilight goes to Canterlot to deliver her report on what has transpired since the [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/99/1/number-12/number-12 Doctor's arrival]] in Ponyville directly to Princess Celestia, leaving him alone with Spike, while the TARDIS attempts to recharge and fully repair herself after her [[InterdimensionalTravelDevice fall into]] Equestria. Although at first distraught at being stranded in the seemingly serene township of Ponyville, the Doctor must re-examine his initial assumptions about the town, the world of Equestria, and his Compulsive Need to Travel when he is confronted with the almost (?) miraculous, impossible events surrounding Ponyville's resident party-mare: [[InexplicablyAwesome Pinkie Pie]].
9	* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3617/Doctor-Whooves---The-Series%3A-Episode-Two--Game-of-Stones Game of Stones]] - His nature as a Time Lord revealed to Twilight's friends, the Doctor prepares for a jaunt though history with Rainbow Dash when Applejack informs him of something she saw as a filly. Intrigued, the Doctor and Twilight, accompanied by Applejack and Rainbow Dash, travel 3000 years into the past, to the Reigneissance period of Roan, where they discover a bizzarre plot against [[Creator/LeonardoDaVinci Leonard Di Hoovsie]], a failing artist destined to become a beloved Icon of Equestrian Culture.
10	* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/19315/Doctor-Whooves--The-Series%3A-Episode-Three--Along-Came-a-Spider Along Came A Spider]] - When faced with the Doctor for the first time, Zecora flees in terror. When the cryptic zebra later turns up suffering from a mysterious ailment that is somehow related to her homeland of Zebrica, the Doctor, Twilight, and (much to their surprise) Fluttershy must travel to the distant savannah to discover the cause of her distress. But what begins as a search for a cure will lead to a darker place than one might believe possible, as a mystery spanning the whole of space and time deepens and hungry gods from distant memories demand the Time Lord’s blood.
11	* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/50812/Doctor-Whooves--The-Series%3A-Episode-Four---Only-Skin-Deep Only Skin Deep]] (ongoing) - When the TARDIS is unexpectedly pulled off course during her first foray into the wider universe, the Doctor, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and a somewhat reluctant Twilight find themselves brought to the doorstep of a [[{{Utopia}} utopian]] alien city. While Rarity and Pinkie immerse themselves in two opposite ends of the local culture, questions that have gone unasked for centuries draw Twilight into the shadowy labyrinth of intrigue and deception that sustains a delicate balance of power in this ‘perfect’ society. A balance that some will go to any length to preserve.
12	* There is also a ChristmasEpisode entitled ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/71122/doctor-whooves---a-hearths-warming-tale A Hearth's Warming Tale]]'', in which princess Luna [[FramingDevice tells a story]] to certain three fillies about how Scootaloo saved the Hearth's Warming (with a little help from the Doctor).
13
14	And as the mystery surrounding the cryptic messages left in the Doctor’s path continues to unfold, will the growing schism of distrust between Time Lord and Friendship Scholar over unspoken secrets cost both ponies more than either of them are prepared to lose?
15
16	----
17	!!''Doctor Whooves – The Series'' provides examples of:
18
19	* ActionGirl: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle have turned into these.
20	* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Pinkie's party-throwing arts prove quite popular among the Quilin. Especially her chocolate chip cookies are appreciated.
21	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: ''Only Skin Deep'' begins with Rarity going far out of her way to please a SpoiledBrat of a client and losing track of time - so when her parents arrive, as they were supposed to, she's already at her wits' end and really not in the mood of their hippie ways. [[spoiler: When the client insults her earth pony dad, Rarity reaches her RageBreakingPoint and throws everypony out.]]
22	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Marr Bell, [[HeelFaceTurn at first]].]]
23	* ArbitraryScepticism: Twilight thinks [[CirclingVultures rocs]] being [[{{Psychopomp}} zebra banshee]] is ridiculous. The Doctor stays open-minded.
24	-->'''The Doctor''': Whether you agree with them or not, they have those beliefs for a reason and it is rarely without at least some merit.
25	** Although given that he is a time travelling alien life form who has a magical box that's bigger on the inside who regularly fights cyborgs, monsters, demons, and more, it's easy to get why he'd feel that way.
26	** In a later episode, she can't believe that sea ponies exist. AJ, who has seen them on her last outing with the Doctor, laughs at that.
27	* ArtifactDomination: [[spoiler: Tagati's EvilMask, but it really just makes things easier for the entity that's possessing her]].
28	* BadassBoast: The Doctor's specialty.
29	* BadLiar: Applejack, to the point where it may as well be CanNotTellALie.
30	** LivingLieDetector: It is pointed out she holds the Element of Honesty...
31	* BewareTheNiceOnes: The Doctor, as his usual style.
32	* BiggerOnTheInside:
33	** The [=TARDIS=], much like in ''Who'' canon.
34	** [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Pinkie Pie]] is also apparently larger on the inside than she looks, much to the surprise of the Doctor.
35	* BlitheSpirit: This Doctor is an optimistic, talkative one who tries his best to distract ponies from danger. He has a bottomless supply of clever jokes. [[NightmareFetishist Nightmare fetishism]] also helps him stay upbeat.
36	* BreakingTheFourthWall:
37	-->'''Pinkie''': I’m pretty sure we pulled that gag in the last episode. (The Doctor [[Funny/DoctorWhoovesTheSeries did]], she ''wasn't there''.)
38	* BroughtDownToNormal: Gelding Marks block unicorns' magic.
39	* CasualTimeTravel: Although the TARDIS gets quite opinionated.
40	* ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:The Horizontal Inertia Manipulator.]]
41	* ChickMagnet: The Doctor. In ''Only Skin Deep'' he finds himself the target of three quilin Mistresses. [[UnwantedHarem He does his best to avoid them]]. Also, everypony thinks he and Twilight have something going on ([[ShesNotMyGirlfriend they don't]]! Really!). And then there's the sultan bath... incident...
42	* ChristmasEpisode: ''A Hearth's Warming Tale'', told by Luna to three little fillies, with [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall humorous interruptions]] from them.
43	* CityInABottle: The Last City of Qing is covered by the Dome, under ice, and Kir says our protagonists are the first visitors since the city's founding.
44	* {{Claustrophobia}}: It's stated pegasi have a phobia of being trapped. [[spoiler: When Scootaloo gets CaughtInTheSnare, she panics hard.]]
45	* CliffHanger: [=Loyal2Luna=] ends almost every single chapter with these.
46	* ClockKing: A message is left for the Doctor, each based off a time (Noon, One O'Clock, etc, that he always reads ''exactly at that time'').
47	* ColdOpening: The prologues to each episode set up the adventure.
48	* CompositeCharacter: The Doctor is a combination of the 10th and 11th Doctors with several fresh quirks added.
49	* ContinuityNod[=/=]CallBack: To Series/DoctorWho:
50	---> '''The Doctor''': I'm not a pony. I walk in eternity. I’m a traveler.
51	** Fluttershy knocks ''four'' times.
52	** The Doctor is unwilling to interfere... [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E2TheBeastBelow until]] [[FriendToAllChildren he finds a suffering child]].
53	---> '''The Doctor''': [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion I haven’t seen blood control in years!]]
54	** He mentions [[StableTimeLoop Novikov Self-Consistency Principle]].
55	** LOOK AT ME! [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E12ThePandoricaOpens I’M A TARGET!]]
56	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E5PlanetOfTheSpiders Metebelis III]] gets a mention, too.
57	** As do [[spoiler: cracks in time]]. And the Doctor's last conversation with [[spoiler: the Spider Goddess]] bears a direct resemblance to the one with [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice Rosanna Calvieri]].
58	** In the ChristmasEpisode, the Doctor is really resigned to all the weirdness that goes on holidays.
59	---> '''The Doctor''': [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E10Blink It goes ‘ding’ when there’s stuff]]. I just had to change the kind of stuff it goes ‘ding’ for. I’m glad I haven’t had to go near any chicken coops.
60	** And his TARDIS hasn't changed a bit...
61	---> '''The Doctor''': Now, the TARDIS is equipped with a special device called a chameleon circuit. Whenever she lands somewhere, in the first nanosecond of arrival, faster than a living thing can even blink, she scans every structure within a thousand miles, creating a detailed map of the area to cross reference with cultural commonalities that allows her to pick out the perfect disguise in order to blend seamlessly into the new environment. (...) And then she appears as a big blue police box from 1963 Earth.
62	** The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor randomiser]] is still there, as well.
63	** There's also an internal nod to ''Along Came A Spider'': a "Zebrican Green Biter (Arachne Anasi)" in Gus's collection. ''Only Skin Deep'' has several nods to previous adventures.
64	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Graphis Denarius.
65	* CosmicRetcon: Twilight Sparkle does this when telling Celestia of the events of ''Traveler''.
66	* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: The Last City of Qing is a very formal, elegant, regal and crystalline-mirrory-metallic-shiny place [[spoiler: which reminds the Doctor of Gallifrey]]. And they wear stoles there.
67	* DataCrystal: The Quilin have crystal-based tech, including memory diamonds that work as both camera and data card.
68	* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: The Anasi followers.]]
69	* DistressedDude: The Doctor (as is his usual style) in [[spoiler: ''Along Came A Spider'', twice. Second time with another bloke for company]]. PlayedForLaughs with the Quilin mistresses.
70	* DitzyGenius: The Doctor puts on an act, as usual, with the cute forgetfulness and general ObfuscatingInsanity air, whenever he doesn't need to be all serious and such.
71	* DoingInTheScientist: The Doctor has on occasion tried to find a scientific explanation for events, only for it to turn out to be magical.
72	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: It appears Twilight holds it, as she doesn't think twice about taking [[PerceptionFilter her experimental invisibility spell]] off the Doctor and letting the Quilin mistresses [[MarsNeedsWomen chase him]].
73	* DramaQueen: Rarity's tendencies are understated in this series (yup!), but following the mishap described under AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents she decides to run away from her clearly ruined life. By means of sweetly asking the Doctor to take her someplace completely new. Elegant. Regal. Exotic... Which he does, if not without suspicions.
74	--> '''The Doctor''': Are you [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E5FleshAndStone getting married in the morning]] perchance?
75	* TheDreaded: The Doctor gets named the "God-Slayer". [[spoiler: In fairness, this was an EldritchAbomination that set up a ReligionOfEvil using MindControl, so it's kinda normal for him]]. Also, it's ''far'' from the only time that people have viewed him as this, as his other nicknames in canon, "The Oncoming Storm," and "The Lonely God" would inform you.
76	* EndlessWinter: The Ice Age on the planet Qing strikes the Doctor as highly disturbing, so it might qualify. [[spoiler: Kir says it was either brought on or accelerated by the Quilin's attempts to prevent it.]]
77	* EvilIsHammy: [[ThirdPersonPerson WE ARE TAGATI!]] PROPHET OF THE GODDESS! [[MouthOfSauron WE SPEAK FOR ANASI, QUEEN OF ALL!]]
78	* HumanoidAliens: Denizens of Qing, the Quilin, are pony-shaped, but scaly, with horizontal oval pupils in their eyes, and they have two horns each, but no cutie-marks. Their sexual dimorphism consists of sort of whiskers for males and feminine shapes for females. Their society is very rigidly [[FantasticCasteSystem stratified]], with possible biological difference between castes (the Masters are larger, with longer horns). [[spoiler: They eat gems, but also like cookies a lot.]]
79	* FantasticRankSystem: The Quilin. It's complicated. They also seem to have a taboo on [[IKnowYourTrueName using names]].
80	* FightingFromTheInside: The Doctor thinks [[spoiler: the real Tagati]] is. Which is true, but with the starvation and ArtifactDomination, they stand no chance.
81	* FirstContact: In ''Only Skin Deep'', Pinkie Pie finds aliens. The Doctor, rather amused, resorts to IComeInPeace, upon which Twilight [[{{Facepalm}} face-hooves]].
82	-->'''Pinkie Pie''': [[LargeHam HEY GUYS! I FOUND ALIENS!]]
83	* GiantSpider: ''Along Came A Spider''. There are hoof-sized spiders, and the [[ReligionOfEvil Spider Goddess Anasi]] [[spoiler: when we finally see her, brings the worst memories of Metebelis III to mind]].
84	* GladIThoughtofIt: Master of the Halls, after three chapters of resenting Pinkie, is praised for her idea and goes with it. Kind of SubvertedTrope, because his Prince was only giving him the rope to hang himself with, but still.
85	* TheGrinch: Gloomy Gus from ''A Hearth's Warming Tale''. [[spoiler: Stemming from ExcessiveMourning of MyGreatestFailure.]]
86	* {{Hammerspace}}: Pinkie Pie gets humorous (and occasionally, useful) props out of it. The Doctor just shakes his head.
87	* HatePlague: In ''A Hearth's Warming Tale'', it's the effect humbugs have on ponies. And it's [[KidsAreCruel quite]], [[AdultsAreUseless quite]] [[ToiletSeatDivorce potent]].
88	* HaveWeMetYet: Pretty much standard. Zecora freaks out when she meets the Doctor for the first time - from his perspective, because, as we later learn, she's seen him before [[spoiler: in full Oncoming Storm mode]].
89	* HeroicBSOD: PlayedForDrama by Fluttershy in ''Along Came A Spider'', PlayedForLaughs by the Doctor in ''Only Skin Deep''.
90	* HeroicWillpower: Twilight manages to [[spoiler: overcome the Gelding Marks through it]]. She later learns this is completely impossible.
91	* HumiliationConga: Happens to [[spoiler:Graphis Denarius]].
92	* ImplacableMan:
93	** [[spoiler:Marr Bell]].
94	** Never stand between a dying Zebra and their Roc. There is ''nothing'' that will stop the Roc from carrying away its target [[spoiler:except bringing said Zebra back from death's door]].
95	* ItsAllAboutMe: Graphis Denarius
96	--> [[spoiler:'''Graphis:'''I WALK AMONG THE ELITE! YOUR BETTERS! AND ALL OF THESE PONIES KNOW IT!]]
97	* ItIsDehumanising: The Anasi followers towards our heroes. Tagati especially speaks in a very indirect, the-all-knowing-oracle-like way. The Doctor, being the Doctor, [[LampshadeHanging mocks her a lot]] for this.
98	* {{Jerkass}}: Graphis Denarius.
99	* LastOfHisKind:
100	** The Doctor.
101	** [[spoiler:Marr Bell, the last of the Gorgons. Except not.]]
102	* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler:Marr Bell, who has the strength of five Weeping Angels, can survive a large explosion, and is highly agile.]]
103	* LittleMissSnarker: Filly Zecora. Very much. Scootaloo has her moments, as well.
104	* LoveAtFirstSight: Rarity (after pointedly declaring she ''will not swoon'') melts upon seeing prince Kir, who appears to reciprocate. [[spoiler: Sadly, it seems she's in for a huge disappontment.]]
105	* LoveMakesYouDumb: In ''Only Skin Deep'' Rarity flat-out refuses to hear Twilight's legitimate concerns, because surely Kir can't have any connection with [[spoiler: evil giant alien spiders]]?
106	* MaliciousMisnaming: Not exactly ''malicious'', but it seems after he's over the regeneration trauma, the Doctor's misnaming of Twilight and Scootaloo is less [[AccidentalMisnaming absent-mindedness]] and more a device to take their minds off being frightened.
107	* MindProbe: [[spoiler: Tagati (also called the Prophet), in the grand tradition of Who villains, but the Doctor surprises her with his resistance]].
108	* MinorLivingAlone: In ''A Hearth's Warming Tale'', Scootaloo, since her dad is away working most of the time.
109	* MoodWhiplash: Chapter 1 of ''Along Came A Spider'' involves, in close succesion: [[spoiler: the Doctor escaping his UnwantedHarem, Zecora's FreakOut, the Cutie Mark Crusaders spying on the Doctor, Apple Bloom's friends being lied to by ''something'' creepy, herself rescuing Zecora from a roc, Twilight and Fluttershy chatting and singing, only to open the door and find bruised Bloom and unconscious Zecora on the doorstep, which leads to MedicalDrama, then the Doctor going all Time Lordly about established events and possibility of ClockRoaches and being defused by Fluttershy's PuppyDogEyes]]. Topped with a pun. Yup. The whole episode is just one rollercoaster ride of this sort.
110	* MotorMouth: The Doctor rambles with practiced ease. A lot.
111	* MrFixit: Guess Who? [[GadgeteerGenius He fixes things up better than new]]! (Although that does tend to bring too much [[UnwantedHarem attention from mares]]).
112	* MusicalWorldHypotheses: Every now and then, ''completely out of the blue'', we're treated to a (spoof of a well-known) song. Even when [[RealityWarper Pinkie]] isn't around. It's ambiguous whether the songs are heard by the characters or not - in ''Along Came A Spider'' Fluttershy seems to hear the song.
113	* TheNativesAreRestless: In ''Along Came A Spider'', because of the drought. [[spoiler: The Prophet Tagati aiming to invade Equestria does not help]].
114	* TheNicknamer: Pinkie becomes one in ''Only Skin Deep''.
115	* NotNowWereTooBusyCryingOverYou: Or, to be precise, over the gadget that was supposed to save [[spoiler: Rainbow Dash]] in ''Game of Stones''.
116	* PerceptionFilter: Twilight made it into a spell. It saves the Doctor from the [[MarsNeedsWomen amorous Quilin mistresses]], for a while, at least.
117	* PimpedOutDress: In case you were wondering why it took [[TheFashionista Rarity]] so much time to prepare for the party in Qing - she simply had to fancy her robe up to absolute perfection. An alien prince: [[BoldlyComing impressed]].
118	* PowerTattoo: Inverted with Gelding Marks, which nullify magic. In ''Along Came A Spider'', Twilight Sparkle gets them [[HumanNotepad all over her body]].
119	* PrehensileHair: Tagati.
120	* RealityWarper: Things Pinkie Pie does manage to fling the Doctor into HeroicBSOD, as they. Are. Impossible!
121	* RunningGag: The Doctor saying "somebody" and others correcting him with "somepony". The Doctor eventually gets used to saying what he's supposed to say, but Fluttershy eventually suggests "somezebra".
122	* OhCrap: Graphis has one when [[spoiler:he finds out Lady Astrolia is nearby.]]
123	* OnTheNext: Usually done with the final chapter of each episode.
124	* ThePowerOfFriendship: As with the show, it's prevalent here, even to the point where it fuels the [=TARDIS=], because [[MagicAIsMagicA it's the basic form of energy in this universe]].
125	* {{Psychopomp}}: Zebras believe that Rocs serve this role, carrying away the souls of departed Zebras to the afterlife.
126	* PunnyName: The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic world of Equis]] is full of these. Usually [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the Doctor.
127	* RhymesOnADime: Zecora. And she is ''cryptic''. [[spoiler: Rhyming turns out to be a side-effect of the medicine for the Bite.]]
128	* SaveTheVillain: The Doctor gives [[GiantSpider Anasi]] a chance. It goes the usual way.
129	* ScienceFantasy: Though it tends to lean more on the fantasy scale (magic!) the Doctor is prone to DoingInTheWizard. Trying to, anyway.
130	* ScienceHero: The [[TechnoBabble Doctor]] and Twilight both.
131	--> '''The Doctor''': There’s no such thing as "useless" information.
132	* SchizoTech: [[spoiler:Becomes a plot point when a charm is discovered in a time period where it hasn't been invented yet.]]
133	* ShoutOut:
134	** HistoricalInJoke: "Let them eat cake!" (Don't worry, it was LighterAndSofter in context - no information on whether the cake was lighter and softer[[note]]a sponge?[[/note]])
135	** [[Series/HouseMD Pranceton Plainsboro Memorial Hospital]]
136	** "And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for [[YouMeddlingKids you meddling foals]]"
137	** "[[CanisLatinicus Scientific]]" name for the humbugs is [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Gloomius Scroogius]]
138	** Gorgons speak in [[Literature/HarryPotter Parseltongue]]. Also:
139	-->'''The Doctor''': Accio Twilight!
140	** The Doctor, after getting zapped by the gadget he's building: “[[Series/{{Mythbusters}} Am I missing an eyebrow?]]”
141	** In the Last City of Qing Twilight [[DiscussedTrope discusses]] NoBiochemicalBarriers, mentioning [[Creator/HGWells Neigh G. Wells]], the science-fiction writer, and his story about Maresian Invaders being susceptible to common pony illnesses as a way of illustration.
142	** Also in the Last City:
143	-->'''The Doctor''': Four equine explorers, traveling the stars to explore strange new worlds… [[Franchise/StarTrek seeking out new life and new civilizations...]]\
144	'''Pinkie''': Boldly going where nopony has gone before! Heeey, that’s kinda catchy.
145	* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Rarity, Spike and several others seem to think there is something ''more'' than friendship between the Doctor and Twilight, but both parties fervently deny it.
146	* SickEpisode: PlayedForDrama in ''Along Comes A Spider'' for Zecora.
147	* SnakeTalk: [[spoiler:The gorgons. Twilight doesn't realize this thanks to the TARDIS' TraslatorMicrobes.]]
148	* TheSoCalledCoward: [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]], mostly by herself. The Doctor honestly admires her [[LetsGetDangerous badass moments]].
149	* StableTimeLoop: In ''Along Came A Spider'', Zecora, who's already lived the events of the story as a filly, relates them to Apple Bloom [[MeanwhileInTheFuture while]] the Doctor and company are right in their midst.
150	* {{Steampunk}}: The Doctor's new outfit is quite steampunky, although the new TARDIS desktop theme is more pony-punky.
151	* StoryArc: There seems to be one involving the Master and the events surrounding ''Traveler'', as implied in the first OnTheNext.
152	* SyntheticPlague: The Bite, as the Doctor suspects.
153	* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Marr Bell, being a gorgon, is able to do this to ponies.]]
154	* TalkingYourWayOut: Well, this is the [[GuileHero Doctor]] we're talking about. To be fair, he also talks his way into danger [[DeadpanSnarker gleefully]].
155	--> '''The Prophet''': Answer without answering... Questions given questions in return, it fashions its words like a labyrinth... Does it stall for time? Does it believe rescue to be on the way? Anasi thinks not.
156	* TimeTravelRomance: Twilight Sparkle and [[Creator/LeonardoDaVinci Leonard DiHoovsie]] fall in love.
157	* TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Prevalent, but Fluttershy seems to suffer this the most.
158	* ToonPhysics: They completely baffle The Doctor in ''The Pinkie Conundrum''. By the ''Only Skin Deep'' he's kind of used to it.
159	* TownWithADarkSecret: Ancient Roan.
160	** The Doctor pegs [[spoiler:The Last City of Qing]] as one almost immediately, but the cryptic hints he drops, along with his refusal to elaborate, just serve to annoy Twilight more than alert her to any problems. She is already highly suspicious, of several things.
161	* VillainousBreakdown: Graphis gets one when [[spoiler:The Doctor and company put a stop to his plans.]]
162	* WaxMuseumMorgue: [[spoiler:Graphis sells petrified ponies.]]
163	* WellDoneSonGuy: Graphis's FreudianExcuse. Which is really just an excuse.
164	* WitchDoctor: Zilaka, although he's rather pragmatic and wry, rather than mystical.
165	* WorldOfPun: It's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria]] and surroundings. The Doctor sometimes finds the puns [[IncrediblyLamePun painful]], though.
