7''The Conversion Bureau'', also known as "TCB", is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic written by Blaze, which has in turn spawned [[RecursiveFanfiction other stories by other people using the same premise]].
8
9The details of these fics vary DependingOnTheWriter, and they don't occur in the same canon, but they do share common elements. Conversion Bureau fics are set on an Earth some time in the future, where the island (or pocket universe) of Equestria has suddenly appeared in the sea. Unfortunately, the realm of Equestria is pushing into Earth's territory, and the magic of Equestria is lethal to humans. In a few short years, Equestria will flood Earth with magic, and there will be nowhere left for humanity to live. To fix this, Princess Celestia sets up "Conversion Bureaus" all around Earth, offering the humans [[EmergencyTransformation the chance to be turned into ponies]] and eventually live in Equestria.
10
11Complicating that, however, is that ponification--as the process is called--is heavily debated both in- and out-of-universe. In-universe, this leads to [[KnightTemplar ideologues forming terrorist groups]]. One, the Human Liberation Front (HLF), is violently anti-pony; the other, Ponification for Earth's Rebirth (PER), sees ponification as a sacrament which absolves humans of their vices, and which should be given to every human on the planet, [[ForcedTransformation whether they like it or not]].

40Because this series tends to arouse strong emotions, ''especially'' the stories written by [[Creator/JenniferDianeReitz Chatoyance]], please keep all edits made to this page civil. To add a bit of perspective to that, ''A New Age'', ''Transhumanism'' and ''Not Just Ponies'' are the only stories listed above that are not out to [[CurbStompBattle defeat the ponies]], who are depicted as an invading enemy force.
41
42----
43!!The following tropes can be found in the original, and are often applicable to the spin-offs:
44
45* AssimilationPlot: While ponification is more or less voluntary, the entirety of humanity is facing extinction not simply from pollution, plague, or economic problems, but also because of the "purification spell" that is harmful to humans. In short, humanity is being forced to become another species.
46* BenevolentAlienInvasion: FromACertainPointOfView...
47* CantArgueWithElves: The ponies. While Blaze's ponies aren't ''too'' far from canon, the ponies are often portrayed as a SuperiorSpecies who are simply ''better'' than humans, and as such have a right to do anything they want to humanity.
48* LesCollaborateurs: It's mentioned that human scientists helped develop the [[MutagenicGoo ponification serum.]] Additionally, the world's leaders don't seem to have any interest in stopping what the ponies are doing, possibly because they are aware that the world is ecologically ruined.
49** The PER is often depicted as such as well.
50* CosyCatastrophe: The prologue mentions that warfare and disease are decimating humanity, but what little we're shown of human society doesn't seem any different from present-day America.
51* CreatorProvincialism: Very little of the world outside of the United States, Europe and Equestria is mentioned in most fics.
52* DeadFic: Due to a mixture of the intense backlash he got and a general loss of interest, Blaze abandoned the story and has no desire to go back and finish it.
53* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Humans need to be ponified to get rid of all those violent thoughts.
54* FantasticRacism: The ponies see humans as savages. Likewise, humans see the ponies as invaders.
55* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Why Celestia won't allow non-ponified humans into Equestria.
56* MasterRace: The ponies here clearly consider themselves categorically superior to humanity.
57* MisanthropeSupreme: Ponies do not like war, poverty, crime or violence, and distrust humanity because of it.
58* NotHimself: Getting transformed into a pony fundamentally alters one's personality. This is dealt with in numerous ways as a means to explore what it means to be human.
59* ScaryDogmaticAliens: The ponies borrow elements from two of the four types.
60** Ponies as Nazis: Only ponified humans are allowed inside Equestria, and the purification spell will kill all humans that do not get ponified.
61** Ponies as Communists: Ponification expunges the negative, selfish parts of "human nature" and leaves you just as altruistic as all the other ponies.
62%% * TheSocialDarwinist: The whole ponification thing has more than a few similarities to a eugenics program.
63%% * WishFulfillment: Per WordOfGod, [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/26347 one of the reasons]] why Blaze wrote this fic.
64
65!!Tropes found in spinoff fanfics:
66-->Please note that "Conversion Bureau Fanfic" is a ''very'' wide umbrella covering a vast amount and variety of stories. Simply because one trope is applicable to one fanfiction, does not necessarily make it applicable to ''all'' Conversion Bureau fanfictions. For example, "Ten Minutes," is a dark last stand, while "Conquer the Stars" is a Space Opera.
67
68[[foldercontrol]]
69[[folder:A-M]]
70* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: It depends on the individual story, but it's common to set stories in the late-2010s (when the genre was first born) to at least the mid-late 21st century.
71* AdvancingWallOfDoom: The barrier serves as this, instantly vaporizing or transforming any human-made object in its path.
72* AesopAmnesia: Ponies hurry to judge and cast aspersions on humanity, as if they hadn't learned anything from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E9BridleGossip Bridle Gossip]]".
73* AffablyEvil: Many members of the Ponification for Earth's Rebirth (PER) movement meet this description. They are almost unfailingly friendly and polite, and will ''usually'' begin a conversation with a human by trying to reason with them and convince them that getting converted is the best choice. [[ForcedTransformation If the human disagrees, however...]]
74* AliensAreBastards: A common depiction is of the ponies as xenophobic conquerors. To be fair, despite how polite they are about it, they ''are'' stealing land from the humans and assimilating them - sometimes by force.
75* ALighterShadeOfBlack: In stories that show the humans committing atrocities against the ponies, it's often pointed out in the narration and by characters that the humans just kill their enemies instead of [[ForcedTransformation forcibly transforming]] and [[MindRape mind raping]] them and turning them on their former enemies.
76* ALighterShadeOfGrey: While it's shown that the humans tend to commit morally questionable acts while defending their homeworld, and the ponies genuinely believe they are trying to help the humans, even if they are resorting to MindRape via the potions, the narration often tends to point out that the ponies ''are'' invaders and that the humans are justified in fighting back.
77* TheAlliance: Some fics feature ''every nation on Earth'' - sometimes even joined by ''terrorist groups'' - banding together to fight off the ponies.
78* AlternateHistory: Some TCB fics start during certain events in history, such as [[FanFic/TheConversionBureauColdWar the last years of the Cold War]] or [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/73895/tcb-a-world-at-war during the start of World War II]].
79* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: An in-universe example in ''Railroad Seven-Three.'' Balthazar loudly and repeatedly insists that he won't get ponified because he is disdainful of those who run from their problems and [[BloodKnight he finds fulfillment in battle that he never could in Equestria.]] Melchior however refutes this, claiming that Balthazar is just lying to himself and that the real reason is that he's [[HopeIsScary afraid to be happy.]] The point is never decisively answered and there's ample evidence for either theory.
80* BalkanBastard: ''The Palladium Wings'' has a rare Greek example in Nikolaos Drakonakos, the [[RedBaron Dragon of the Skies]]. He's vicious SkyPirate captain with a [[ItsPersonal blood feud]] against Princess Celestia. In line with this trope, the narration describes him as "a Maniot Greek, piracy and bloodshed is in his blood". In addition, the majority of crew of his ship also appear to be of Balkan descent.
81* BattleTrophy: A Diamond Dog foot soldier in ''A Dark in the Light'' tends to collect armor, weapons and other gear as a form of this.
82* BlackAndGreyMorality: Several fics have this with humans or ponies occupying either side. Most visible in ''The Palladium Wings''. Human privateers enslave, sell, torture and kill pony civilians. Celestia's government takes over human lands by force, denies aid to starving nations for a purely selfish reason, does mass killings and/or ponification of humans and engages in torture.
83* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Occurs in several fics. Humans or ponies can occupy either side, depending on who the author likes more.
84* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: The PER wholeheartedly believes in this trope. It forms the basis of their entire goal as an organization.
85* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Some stories will have the ponies (especially the Royal Guards) magically brainwashed to gleefully participate in ponifying every human they see. The newfoals will also be this in some stories.
86* CaughtUpInTheRapture: TCB-Earth often fits in the more pro-pony fics, with huge swaths of humanity abandoning Earth en masse and leaving their more jaded brethren behind.
87* CondescendingCompassion: The ponies' view on humans, who "can't help" their barbaric and monstrous behavior, so they ''must'' be saved by ponification. Often, this leads to the humans declaring ScrewYouElves and fighting back.
88* ConditionedToAcceptHorror:
89** The view of the Earth largely depends on the author of the spinoff in question. While some do take place on horrific death worlds or burned-out techno-urban hellholes, many also take place on far quieter and/or closer to real life versions of the earth, no better or worse than Equestria itself.
90** In some stories, humans live in a steadily eroding world where things like theft, murder, and rape are common, and communities are forced to band together to protect themselves. Equestrians find the fact that violence occurs at all to be horrifying.
91* {{Deconstruction}}: Numerous of varying qualities.
92** ''Grayscale'' has the scenario play out as usual... but all the ponies have the same characterization as the show, including/especially Princess Celestia, who does not have any control over the barrier and does make the process entirely voluntary. The Equestrians themselves are divided into those who believe they're committing genocide and those who believe they should save as many people as possible. It's mentioned that while the Human Liberation Front attacks the bureaus, so do ponies. The Mane Six nearly [[BreakingTheFellowship broke up when they disagreed about the process was right or not]]. Pinkie Pie did go insane and is in an asylum. The ponies who work at the centers themselves [[DespairEventHorizon burn out mentally]], and the readers see what happens as a pony doctor goes insane and tries to kill her coworkers, as well and being driven to despair and begging for someone to kill her.
93--->"We tear them so the soul leaks out! Nothing left, and something grows, but it's not what it was! Not what it was!"
94** ''Not Alone'' is a realistic story where it's shown that humanity would not take kindly to the ponies' misanthropic attitudes, the effects of the expanding barrier (such as loss of infrastructure and human displacement) are explored in detail, and it's shown that not only do a good number of ponies disagree with the conversion, but the other races in Equus aren't happy about it either.
95** ''The Other Side of the Spectrum'' is a WarFic that exercises realism and MirrorUniverse to serve all kinds of vicious [[TakeThat middle fingers]] at the premise of TCB and the logical inconsistencies and unsavory/horrific implications that other stories glossed over.
96** ''The Negotiationsverse'' centers on Twilight Sparkle, the only living Alicorn princess, realizing over time the atrocities of ponification. It also gives Celestia a very plausible motivation for her actions, though it's also made clear that her mistakes and shortsightedness have made her irredeemable.
97** The universe presented in ''Not Just Ponies'' is a unique twist on it: it's a deconstruction of ''both'' the common types while reconstructing the ''setting''. Namely in this universe, the issue really ''is'' a natural disaster no one has any control over, and the common portrayals of the setting are believed to be true by some on both sides, but those assumptions are wrong and the consequences of people believing they are are explored. As a result, New Foals get treated with FantasticRacism by both sides, [[EvilVersusEvil the PER and HLF are]] ''both'' [[KnightTemplar extremist lunatics who grossly misunderstand the issue and cause more harm than good]], and the attempts by some bits of humanity to 'save' the human race amount to trying to kill genuinely good people who are trying to do whatever they can to save another race from something neither side can control. One instance is the PER converting a human... who was going to convert ''anyway'', but into a different creature who is now trapped as a creature they didn't ''want'' to be.
98* DeconstructiveParody: These also have arisen.
99* DependingOnTheWriter: Since the original's author, Blaze, has abandoned the story, there is little in the way of a set canon other than the initial premise.
100** The question of whether or not the Barrier was deliberately formed and used as an attack on humanity is a constant point of contention among the fanbase... and something that varies wildly from story to story. Whether it's something that can be overcome by human military power or not is also a varying quality. Even the authors themselves don't always seem to know which is the case, both in their universe and outside.
101** Also, how powerful and threatening the PER and HLF are varies by the writer. Some fics have them as little more than street gangsters and a nuisance; others portray them as highly sophisticated paramilitary organizations with enough resources and firepower [[NGOSuperpower to rival a small country's army]] and being ''very'' dangerous.
102** Likewise, the attitude and motivations of Celestia. Sometimes she is benevolence given form, going out of her way to make peace with even her most hateful enemies and ensure an ending where everyone winds up happy. Other times she's shown as an absolutely merciless despot and conqueror, completely uncaring about human lives, unsympathetic to the human race's imminent destruction and ruthlessly disposing of anyone who inconveniences her. Some authors go with an approach in-between and have her taking drastic actions against the humans in wartime, but not enjoying what she has to do, being plagued with guilt, or having to convince herself it's for the sake of her species' survival.
103** Also, the effects of the serum. Sometimes, it just changes the drinker into a pony but leaves their mind intact. Sometimes it makes them more caring in addition to their bodily changes. Still others have it completely ''wipe the drinker's brain and replace with with [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul an artificially happy]] personality''.
104** The setting varies wildly with the writer. Some go for NextSundayAD. Others go for a {{cyberpunk}} TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture setting. And still others go for a setting where the ponies have won. One alternate spinoff even has [[spoiler: the ''humans'' winning, at the cost of vaporizing all of Equestria and locking Celestia's forever screaming head in a box.]].
105** And the ponies themselves. How many share misanthropic views, or sympathize with the humans, or are just fed lies by a propaganda machine?
106** In addition, are the ponies [[PunyEarthling totally superior]] to humanity or are they just as flawed?
107* DespairEventHorizon: Due to ''Grayscale''[='s=] premise, to say the concept and process of conversion are '''extremely''' heartbreaking is the understatement of the millenium. Both volunteers and doctors are often DrivenToSuicide, or in rarer cases, AxCrazy {{Freak Out}}s, most often after a few months. And you don't have to work on the bureaus themselves to be driven to it, either: Princess Luna only visited a bureau once, and after spending some time with a young human girl, she got up, thanked her for the attention, found an empty office and locked herself in to cry alone. She never even came close to a bureau afterwards.
108* DispelMagic: In ''Metal Ripper'', when "[[Music/{{Sabaton}} Back In]] [[MagicMusic Control]]" is sung by Joakim Bróden, it instantly disables all enchantments or spells placed on him.
109* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: One common reason that humans can't just live in Equestria as-is is because they're naturally more violent than ponies, and can't be allowed in lest they corrupt Equestria. Sound like a lot of racist justifications?
110* DomedHometown: Equestria is surrounded by a magical dome. However, it can be passed through by magical creatures, but not by unchanged earthly life forms.
111* DontYouDarePityMe: Discussed in ''Railroad Seven-Three.'' The average native Equestrian sometimes claims to pity humans rather than hate them; many humans in turn resent this. Balthazar in particular despises Celestia for what he views as an incredibly condescending attitude.
112* DrivenToSuicide: In some stories, some humans choose this instead of facing the restoration magic or getting ponified.
113** ''Grayscale'' has this ''in spades'' for both sides: for the humans, it's just an alternative to conversion, a process that kills them as the people they are; for the other side, it's the Bureaus' volunteers that kill themselves because of the massive emotional burnout that comes from what is essentially killing off innocents. Rainbow Dash (the POV character) remembers how, after the Bureaus began working, the suicide rates rose in Equestria and how over half of them were volunteers that had crossed the DespairEventHorizon. Things got so bad that a royal decree was instituted that no one should work on a bureau for more than six months.
114* ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Many TCB fics see humanity as inferior and call ponies morally superior while conveniently ignoring the fact that canonical pony jerks do exist, like Trixie, the Flim-Flam Brothers, snooty Canterlot nobles like Prince Blueblood, bullies like Diamond Tiara and Rainbow Dash's Cloudsdale bullies, historical figures like Princess Platinum, Commander Hurricane, and Chancellor Puddinghead, and straight up villainous tyrants like King Sombra and Starlight Glimmer. The stories that paint Equestria up as a paradise also tend to ignore the existence of hostile native Equestrian races like Diamond Dogs, Changelings, and dragons, as well as what these other native species (like the griffons, buffaloes, donkeys/mules, zebras and others) would think of an entire species being converted into ponies.
115* EmergencyTransformation: This is a core idea behind most of the stories. Either you die by the magical radiation of Equestria, or you become a pony.
116** In addition, one of the perks of the ponification serum is that the process instantly and fully heals the recipient, even going so far as to remove diseases or genetic defects. Several stories feature humans on the verge of death taking the potion to save their lives.
117* EnemyMine: Some TCB fics have all of the nations on Earth putting aside all differences to combat the ponies. Hell, even organizations like the ''Taliban'' pull off a HeelFaceTurn.
118* EvenEvilHasStandards:
119** Invoked by the story ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/32753/2/The-Conversion-Bureau%3A-Wrong-universe/Wrong-Universe-%232---Deus-ex-Dalek Wrong Universe #2: Deus ex Dalek]]'', which has [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek Sec]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech sum up everything wrong with the TCB ponies]], before destroying the barrier, which, by proxy, kills Celestia and causes an imbalance in the ambient magic that sends the ponies into a massive VillainousBSOD and has every military force on Earth charging their way to Equestria to finish them off.
120** On the Spacebattles forums, ''Literature/TheDraka'' are considered less evil.
121--->"Damn it, I have absolutely NO idea who to cheer for! On one hand, we have the xenophobic racist abominations of nature that violate almost every law and convention that exists, and [[BaitAndSwitchComparison on the other hand, we have the Draka!]]"
122** Often times when comparing the [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]] to the TCB Ponies, most tend to choose the Nazis as the lesser evil. At least the Nazis sort-of admitted they were committing genocide to "purify" humanity; Celestia does the same genocide, only under the pretense that she's only doing what's best for humanity, that she's killing or converting millions [[ForYourOwnGood "for their own good"]].
123* EvilVersusEvil:
124** In some fics, both the humans and ponies are sociopathic xenophobes.
125** In ''Not Just Ponies'', humanity and the ponies are both benevolent and trying to largely work with the other side to save as many people as they can. The PER and HLF, however, are ''both'' grossly misunderstanding the situation, actively opposed to one another, and seen in-universe as [[KnightTemplar extremist lunatics]] who cause suffering to innocent people on ''both'' sides.
126* FantasticNuke: The purification spell... except when [[NoSell it doesn't work]].
127* FantasticRacism:
128** The ponies see humans as savage brutes. The humans see the ponies as xenophobic conquerors and despots. Which side is right depends on the story in question.
129** These are the main viewpoints of the PER (Ponification For Earth's Rebirth) and the HLF (Human Liberation Front) respectively. Most regular ponies and humans stay a mixed bag.
130** Subverted twice in ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1058/the-conversion-bureau-change-of-life Change of Life]]''. At first, it looks like Applejack and Silver are both racist towards Robert, a human. It turns out Applejack distrusts him for being "city folk" and Silver just plain doesn't like him for personal reasons.
131* ForcedTransformation: Some stories have forced ponification as a response to the Human Liberation Front and humans that like being humans. Ponies usually see it as a better alternative to killing them, but those getting changed tend to disagree.
132* ForYourOwnGood: How some ponies feel about ponification. The PER love this justification to the point where they will forcibly ponify people or spike their drinks without their knowledge.
133* GenderBender: The beta version of the [[MutagenicGoo ponification serum]] could only create female ponies. There are a few stories where it is accidentally given to a male.
134* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Some TCB fics paint the conversion process as being this trope. The happiness it induces isn't fake - you really ''will'' become a much more content and friendly person - [[FridgeHorror but still]]. A complicated example, as sometimes [[WorthLivingFor it clearly]] ''is'' [[ThrowTheDogABone for the better]] - just as [[AssimilationPlot other times]], [[StepfordSmiler it obviously isn't.]]
135** One fanfic that involved the Canon!Equestrian ponies infiltrating TCB!Equestria notices that the TCB ponies were acting like this.
136* GlamourFailure: In some fics, there exists an extremely rare variety of potion that can transform a human physically into a pony while letting them retain a completely human mind. Such ponies are almost completely undetectable but in ''Terminal Leave'', Celestia notes that there's always a hardness in their eyes, "like an adult who was never hugged as a child."
137* GreyAndGrayMorality: The ponies are fairly consistently portrayed as xenophobic to varying degrees, but genuinely believe that their actions are helping humanity and leaving them happier in the long run. Humanity is only trying to defend itself, its culture, and its world but seems to take rather perverse glee in living down to its thuggish reputation in the process.
138* GodwinsLaw: Comparing the ponies to Nazis is not uncommon.
139* HateFic: There are a ''lot'' of fics that either examine its flaws or just murder the characters.
140* HumansAreFlawed: Some of the spin-offs take this attitude in contrast to the original. Many have protagonists that are and remain human, become good friends with ponies, but does not sweep away the fundamental problems with humanity being apex predators descended from pack-hunter gatherers.
141* HumansAreWarriors: One thing both the fic's fandom and hatedom seem to consistently agree on is that humans are often much fiercer fighters than ponies. Whether or not it's effective enough to drive off Equestria and their Conversion efforts is up to the author.
142* IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Last Man Standing'', Celestia confirms the suspicions of many in a conversation with the last remaining human: she DID invade Earth deliberately. However, she points out that due to the merging of the worlds, either Equestria or Earth was going to be destroyed no matter what; she simply chose to try and save her subjects.
143* IdiotBall: ''An Azure Future'', in spades. After an entire story of wanting to remain human and not undergo conversion, the protagonist pulls a complete ideological 180, joins up with a terrorist organization and helps them successfully carpet-bomb a human settlement, then gases a cop whose only mistake was trying to give him a speeding ticket. Making the whole matter worse, the only reason he decided to help the terrorists was so they would convert him in exchange - something that is their ''entire purpose'' to do anyway. Not to mention he could've walked into any of a dozen nearby Conversion Bureaus and had the process done legitimately by trained professionals at any time. He receives nothing worse than mild disappointment from Celestia for the whole thing.
144* InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves: The ponies and PER humans that believe this of humanity use this as a justification for their ForYourOwnGood basis of ponification.
145* KnightTemplar:
146** The PER believe that ponification is the right way and they see nothing wrong with forcibly dosing innocent civilians.
147** Celestia fits this trope in some stories too. She feels that by ponifying humans and wiping their technology from the Earth, she can give them a better life. In these cases, she has no compunction about committing sundry atrocities to do so.
148** ''Both'' the PER and HLF are this in "Not Just Ponies," as they both completely misunderstand the situation at hand and are ultimately [[EvilVersusEvil equally as bad as one another.]]
149* LightIsNotGood: Celestia is a pure white alicorn who wields ThePowerOfTheSun. She also the mastermind behind the genocide.
150* LighterAndSofter: ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1058/the-conversion-bureau-change-of-life Change of Life]]'' is this. In it, the Barrier is completely beyond Celestia's control and she is in fact doing her best to help the remaining humans. While the majority of ponykind does seem to pity humanity, it's more because of the latter losing their world than racism. Even the HLF is less aggressive than usual, preferring protests and rhetoric to open war.
151* LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair: The ultimate fate of humanity. Sometimes happens to the ponies in some fic.
152* LossOfIdentity: Is a pony produced by the potion the same "person" as the human that it originally was? If not, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters is this a good thing]], or is it unforgivable [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide xenocide]]? The answer largely depends on what spinoff you're reading, how much the potion affects emotions, predispositions, beliefs, and allegiances, and the beliefs of the author; most of the fics where the answer is "yes, and it is xenocide" are a backlash response against ones where the answer was "yes, and it is a good thing", or at least a perception thereof.
153* MagicalProfanityFilter: In some continuities, newfoals are unable to swear due to the effects of the ponification serum and can only use GoshDangItToHeck substitutes and [[BigStupidDoodooHead childish insults]]. In ''[[Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum The Other Side of the Spectrum]]'', the PHL [[ExploitedTrope take advantage of this]] and use obscene phrases for their passwords like "Fuck that Solar Bitch" and "Celestia is a cock loving whore" to prevent newfoals from being able to infiltrate their ranks.
154* MagicMusic: Combined with ThePowerOfRock in the DeconstructiveParody ''The Conversion Bureau: Metal Ripper'', with Celestia being purged of a {{demon|icPossession}} by Music/{{Sabaton}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZm4zseMok0 "Primo Victoria"]].

165* MakeMeWannaShout: [[Music/{{Sabaton}} Joakim Bróden]] singing [[MagicMusic "Attero Dominatus"]] in ''Metal Ripper''. It produces a shockwave powerful enough to shatter every window in Canterlot Castle's throne room and send the [[PraetorianGuard Royal Guards]] [[BlownAcrossTheRoom flying]].
166* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: In some stories, turning into a pony fundamentally alters your personality. You keep all of your memories, but become much more predisposed towards happiness, nonviolence, and social interaction.
167* MirrorUniverse: A number of fics use this to compare TCB Equestria with Canon Equestria and how much the personalities of the characters differ. This is especially true for fics that view the story as CanonDefilement.
168** '''United We Stand''' presents a very interesting take on the mirror universe; while the pro-human Equestria is otherwise identical to the show's canon, it's heavily implied that it's descended from the Generation 1 pony universe, which canonically [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986 already made friendly contact]] with humanity. Naturally, TCB Celestia views the pro-human mirror universe ponies as impostors and traitors.
169** There's also ''The Other Side of the Spectrum'' where a [[ShellShockedVeteran shell-shocked]] [[SemperFi US Marine]] is thrown into an alternate Equestria through a magical portal, whereupon his account of what's happening in his world horrify the Canon Equestrians, who go on to declare war on behalf of Earth, all the while, something else more sinister is going on behind the scenes. It also includes a lot of {{Take That}}s to some of the FridgeLogic questions raised in the genre.
170* MoreThanMindControl: In some fics, the ponified humans are more than happy to [[ForcedTransformation forcibly ponify]] any humans. Even if they were once friends and family.
171* MoralMyopia: If the ponies do something questionable, it's okay because they're supposedly doing the right thing no matter where they're going with it. If the humans do something questionable, they're evil monsters.
172[[/folder]]
173
174[[folder:N-Z]]
175* NGOSuperpower: Some fics depict the [[LaResistance Human Liberation Front]] as having resources more akin to those of a country rather than a paramilitary group. In those stories, it is not uncommon for the HLF to have SuperSoldiers in PoweredArmor or even doomsday weapons.
176* NicknamingTheEnemy: Occurs on both sides in various fics. The ponies often refer to the humans as "apes" or "monkeys". Humans call the ponies everything from "Celestians" to "geldos" and various other crude phrases.
177* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In ''Metal Ripper'', Joakim Bróden of Music/{{Sabaton}}, Joacim Cans of Music/{{Hammerfall}}, Hansi Kürsch of Music/BlindGuardian, Taage Laiho of Altaria, Alfred Romero of Dark Moor and Timo Kotipelto of Music/{{Stratovarius}} are the main characters. They appear as [[MagicMusic musician-mages]].
178* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: In a number of TCB stories — notably ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauNotAlone'' — Celestia is portrayed as wanting to help humanity but going about it in all the wrong ways. However, an equal number of fics have her as a power-mad xenophobic conqueror.
179* NukeEm:
180** Many a fic points out that [[SuperweaponSurprise atomic weaponry is humanity's ace-in-the-hole.]] Sometimes they shatter the [[AdvancingWallOfDoom Barrier]] and consign millions of ponies to an agonizing death by radiation poisoning, sometimes not.
181** This was attempted in ''Not Just Ponies'', but with two major differences: one, the attempted nuking is by KnightTemplar types who deeply misunderstand the situation (as a {{Reconstruction}}, the ponies are genuinely benevolent and are completely on humanity's side in the crisis), and two...the Veil is ''not'' a physical barrier so the nuke just goes right through it. However, Celestia, [[ThePowerOfTheSun having domain over the sun and thus nuclear fusion]], is immune to radiation and just absorbs it to prevent damage.
182* ParentsInDistress: A species-wide example in the ''Wrong Universe'' short "The Children of Man", which has the [[spoiler:now Sufficiently Advanced [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Cylons]]]] appear to defend their "parents".
183--> '''WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF MAN, ''AND IT IS THE DUTY OF CHILDREN TO DEFEND THEIR PARENTS.'''''
184* PerspectiveFlip: ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/2984/the-humanification-bureau The Humanification Bureau]]'', in which Equestria is a post-apocalyptic CrapsackWorld and ponies want to emigrate to earth, but can't live without magic.
185* PhysicalGod: Although Celestia was already somewhat a goddess in canon material, TCB stories tend to ramp this trait up to the extreme. Celestia is almost always completely unstoppable, and sometimes even omnipotent.
186** Backfires horribly on her in the HateFic ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/mlp-fim-the-conversion-bureau-thus-saieth-the-lord.226539/ Thus Saith The Lord]]'', when her conversion efforts make {{God}} [[TheScourgeOfGod angry enough to reenact]] [[Literature/TheBible the Book of Exodus]], [[HumiliationConga with Celestia as Pharoah Rameses]].
187---> '''Twilight Sparkle''': I think that Celestia angered Someone she couldn't fight back against.
188** Depictions of Celestia as a god in TCB stories range from "Canon Celestia", where she is more powerful than almost anything else on the planet (but still mortal, as shown in the "Canterlot Wedding" episodes where she got taken out by Chrysalis), to "EldritchAbomination" where she only ''[[HumanoidAbomination looks]]'' like a pony, but is a vast, unkillable intelligence with limitless power.
189** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/163052/1/conversion-bureau-the-harshest-lesson/the-harshest-lesson The Harshest Lesson]]'', the ponies' attempts to control nature with magic causes planet Earth itself to develop self-awareness. Unfortunately for them, NatureIsNotNice and the planet considers the Equestrians a disease that must be purged and starts using DeathWorld tactics to drive them off. In an additional TakeThat, it actually takes the ecological damage that humans caused in stride because it considers it to be part of survival of the fittest.
190* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The ponies are the "[[DesignatedHero heroes]]" of the story, yet they force humans to either lose their personalities and all other aspects of their selves in the conversion process or be killed.
191** Likewise, some stories show the humans as evil simply because they didn't want to convert or they dared to defend themselves against the ponies.
192* PunnyName: The demolitionist mare in ''A Dark in the Light'' is named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANFO Anne Foe]].
193* PunyEarthlings: Many TCB fics paint up the ponies as being totally superior to humans.
194** In ''Option Gamma'', the humans are ''horribly'' outmatched by ''all Equestrian species''.
195* PyrrhicVictory: Deconstruction stories that have the ponies successfully turn Earth into a Neo-Equestria and all of humanity into newfoals go out of their way to show how ruinous victory would really be for them on a social and economic level.
196** ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/29404/the-conversion-bureau-the-price-of-generosity The Price of Generosity]]'' is one such example. The barrier wiped everything out, and it turns out that colonizing Earth was much harder than the ponies anticipated, with their resources being stretched to the breaking point. This in turn left the newfoals having to figure things out on their own with little support, and as a result, self-preservation overrode their programming almost completely and they started building their own countries based on the original human ones and their political systems. And with news reports of newfoals raiding Equestrian ships and trains for food and other supplies, it's implied that even the part of the potion meant to curb human aggression no longer works.
197** A few fics have one of the villains from the show, such as King Sombra or Discord become powerful enough to NoSell the Elements because the barrier transforming the Earth and the large number of newfoals in Equestria supercharges the BackgroundMagicField with BlackMagic.
198** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/163052/1/conversion-bureau-the-harshest-lesson/the-harshest-lesson The Harshest Lesson]]'', the ponies' attempts to control the environment turns Earth into a DeathWorld because the planet has become a GeniusLoci and interprets what they're doing as a disease that must be purged.
199** In ''The Other Side of the Spectrum'', it's made clear that this will be the end result for Imperial Equestria if humanity and its allies are all assimilated. The Solar Empire is already [[FascistButInefficient collapsing under its own weight]] of waging a near {{hopeless war}} against the [[HumansAreWarriors humans]] while simultaneously dealing with a '''massive''' population boom and having little resources available to support them; victory will only exacerbate the problem.
200* RealityBleed: Causes the [[SarcasmMode fun]].
201* {{Reconstruction}}:
202** ''Not Just Ponies'' is one intended to present the setting in a world where the ponies are much closer to their show selves (with a ReasonableAuthorityFigure Celestia who has no intentions of conquest in any form) and the Veil is ''genuinely'' a force of existence neither side can do anything about. Ponification is genuinely a last resort to save humanity from the Veil that decidedly does not cause a DeathOfPersonality and the ponies themselves for the most part aren't forcing it on anyone. The HLF ''[[EvilVersusEvil and]]'' PER are both presented as [[KnightTemplar equally bad extremist groups]] who are both WrongGenreSavvy about the situation. The mirror portal to the Equestria Girls verse is also mentioned as a potential solution for humans who wish to return to being human after all is said and done if they so choose, and human technology is being preserved. The main protagonist in ''Conversion Zebra'' is a newfoal zebra trying to adjust to his new life and being fed up with the FantasticRacism he sometimes gets from ''both'' sides who don't truly understand the situation.
203*** This is continued in the sequel, ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/386939/conversion-dragon-a-dragon-walks-into-a-bar Conversion Dragon]]''. As suggested by the above Zebra situation, the humans have full choice in ''what'' they become (with some exceptions for safety's sake). In this case, the main character is an elderly woman who became a dragon, which she's rather happy about, given that being 70 for humans is the equivalent of being a teenager for dragons (though there is a limitation on the number of dragon conversions due to a dragon population boom having obvious drawbacks) so she's young again. The entire story is mainly just her and a still human bartender having a friendly conversation.
204** ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/220944/when-the-sun-comes When the Sun Comes]]'' can be considered this as well. Celestia and the ponies genuinely go and offer humanity as much salvation as they can without changing anyone's bodies or minds, neither side is treated as being better than the other and the disaster that prompts all this was not man-made, but a natural disaster (supervolcanos erupting).
205** ''Fanfic/ProjectSunflower'' also takes certain conventions of TCB while using them for less sinister purposes. Earth ''is'' under attack, but this alien threat is not of an Equestrian origin. The protagonist does turn herself into a pony out of her own free will and doesn't suffer any kinds of dramatic personality changes, and while things like converting the human race or a full military takeover are brought up, those options are automatically rejected. And once the ponies learn of humanity's plight, they immediately get to helping the humans save their world.
206* RecklessPacifist: In ''Railroad Seven-Three'', the PER threatens to stop the Railroad vehicle with a spike strip. One of the PER pegasi even explicitly points out the pickup truck would probably flip over... ''and there were ponies in the flatbed at the time.'' Shortly thereafter, we see they weren't bluffing about the spike strip's presence, either.
207* RecursiveFanfiction: A single story that spawned its own genre.
208* RogueDrone: Some fics explore what happens when the mental changes from the serum stop working, or work differently than Celestia intended:
209** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/52073/tcb-a-beacon-of-hope TCB: A Beacon of Hope]]'', the mental aspect of the formula seemingly failed, as most newfoals self-identify as human and hate their new bodies, abilities, and other ponies with a passion. It's implied their [[BoomerangBigot Boomerang Bigotry]] is actually caused by the SpeciesLoyalty and FantasticRacism aspects of the formula applying to humans and ponies respectively rather than the other way around.
210** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/29404/the-conversion-bureau-the-price-of-generosity The Conversion Bureau: The Price of Generosity]]'', it's been long enough for Lyra (and presumably, the rest of the Mane Cast outside the alicorn princesses) to die of old age since Earth has been taken over and flashbacks imply the formula used to work as Celestia intended back then, newfoals thought she transformed them for their own good and hated having been humans before. According to news broadcasts in the present, however, it appears that once the newfoals realized Equestria doesn't have the resources or competence to govern an entire planet, self-preservation overrode their programming almost completely. The newfoals started building their own countries based on human ones and their political systems. Also, newfoals in Somalia have taken to [[RuthlessModernPirates raiding Equestrian ships for food]], implying that even the part of the formula meant to curb human aggression no longer works.
211* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: Complicated. The humans are normally the technology users regardless of time period while the ponies are the HighFantasy SugarBowl paradise. However, the conversion is essentially a UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans plot while the Humans are trying to defend their values, even though these values are far more futurist than what Equestria has to offer. It's generally uncanny, essentially a reverse Avatar and all a matter of perspective really.
212* SadisticChoice: Humanity as a whole faces one: lose their bodies and culture or be killed by the expanding barrier. Of course, they can just TakeAThirdOption and fight to the end.
213* ScaryDogmaticAliens: Spinoffs sometimes feature all the scary dogmatic alien types from the original in addition to two more.
214** Ponies as Religious Fundamentalists: Some fics show the ponies as crusaders who go out to convert - or kill - humanity on the orders of Celestia.
215** Ponies as Conquistadors: Some fics show them as planning to subjugate Earth and humanity to make them more "civilized".
216* ScrewYouElves: The {{Deconstruction Fic}}s wherein humanity doesn't take kindly to the ponies' misanthropic attitudes and genocidal ambitions run on this theme. The ''Ten Rounds'' universe features this in spades, with the human characters resisting the ponification to truly epic lengths. One called ''Ten Minutes'' ends with [[spoiler: Celestia, along with thousands of ponies, being lured into the blast radius of a nuke]].
217* SenselessSacrifice: In the ''Railroad'' series humanity is often accused of these; In ''Terminal Leave'' Applejack accuses Major York of putting HonorBeforeReason for his insistence on [[EarnYourHappyEnding humanity achieving Utopia on its own.]] In ''Railroad Seven-Three'' Sugar Spoon explicitly refers to humanity as a MartyrdomCulture. Given that humanity is staring extinction in the face and has been given an alternative, the ponies may have a point.
218* SkyPirates: The spinoff fic ''The Palladium Wings'' features ''very'' vicious pirates who plunder Equestrian airships for profit.
219* SoapboxSadie: In many fics, the ponies - especially the newfoals - will often preach about how HumansAreTheRealMonsters.
220* SongFic: The DeconstructiveParody, ''The Conversion Bureau: Metal Ripper'' has the lyrics of Music/{{Sabaton}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZm4zseMok0 "Primo Victoria"]] complete with Youtube links at the end where the group defeats Celestia through ThePowerOfRock.
221* SonOfAnApe: "Apes" and "monkeys" are common slurs for anti-human ponies to use against humans.
222* SpeciesLoyalty: The HLF embraces this trope to the point of blindness.
223* SuperweaponSurprise: Many a fic uses nuclear bombs and firearms as mankind's Ace-In-The-Hole.
224** ''TCB: Thus Saith The Lord'' has {{God}} [[PapaWolf Himself]] as the "[[BigBrotherInstinct Bigger Brother]]" version of this.
225** ''Cold War'' has NBC troopers. {{Hazmat Suit}}s NoSell potion bombs unless punctured, which happens [[spoiler: exactly once]].
226** Some less-than-serious fics have ''swear words'' as this. An unguarded word or two is enough to reduce a Royal Guard veteran to [[InelegantBlubbering paroxysms of weeping.]]
227* TakeThat: TCB itself is a frequent target of these from its deconstruction stories and other stories in the MLP fandom.
228** ''Fanfic/AllAmericanGirlShinzakura'' mentions a "Humans Are Bastards" [[ShowWithinAShow horror film]] called ''The Converters''. The makers of which nearly got sued for libel.
229** There are plenty of stories that involve middle fingers being given out to traditional TCB stories, including ''Wrong Universe'' by Dalek IX, or ''What Would Really Happen'', which is where a few people convert but then everyone else goes back to their lives, fine with the world as-is.
230* TautologicalTemplar: Many stories have Celestia and the ponies completely failing to see anything wrong with the MindRape that accompanies the potion. Or failing to understand why the human race declares war on them after the effects of conversion are known.
231** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/14373/tcb-the-ballad-of-the-white-rose Ballad of the White Rose]]'', Celestia and her followers seem to be in denial a la ''VideoGame/WeHappyFew'', and when confronted about it by pony protesters, they shut them up by force and don't seem to understand why they need to defend their points at all.
232* TechnicalPacifist: On paper, the PER is ''biologically prevented'' from harming humans. In reality, they find quite a few ways around this: ForcedTransformation is their hat, obviously, but they also have no problem forcibly converting humans under hazardous conditions or with experimental, unstable serum versions. Both circumstances can, and often do, lead to death.
233* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Humanity is constantly derided by the ponies as being savages and brutes. Some humans, the HLF especially, decide to embrace their brutish reputation.
234* TranshumanTreachery: Once a person goes pony, they may still feel an attachment to individual humans. Any sense of love for the race as a whole is long gone, however, even if they ardently supported it before.
235* UncannyValley: {{Deconstruction fic}}s will present the newfoals as an InUniverse case of this for both humans and natural-born ponies. Depending on the story, it can range from them looking just slightly off to being borderline robotic {{Stepford Smiler}}s.
236* {{War Fic}}s: ''Many'' of the fics could be classified as such. Mostly {{Hate Fic}}s but some standard TCB stories fit as well. The most prolific ones include ''FanFic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' (and its ContinuityReboot ''Fanfic/{{Spectrum}}'') and ''FanFic/TheConversionBureauNotAlone''. ''Fanfic/TheNegotiationsVerse'' has the war as TheGreatOffscreenWar, exploring the aftermath and its consequences.
237* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: One of the major contentions with the premise and its fans is that readers who would stand against the MindRape, xenocide, and [[YouWillBeAssimilated assimilation]] of humanity were the perpetrators orcs or lizards or beastmen or other stereotypically ugly sorts instead support it because cute ponies are the ones doing the "conversion".
238* WhatTheHellHero: If someone calls out the ponies and/or Celestia specifically for their actions, they'll invoke this.
239** This forms the premise of ''The Ballad of the White Rose'', where a group of rebellious young ponies discovers that the death of humanity was no accident and decides that Celestia has a lot to answer for.
240** ''Not Alone'' ends with the queen of the griffins declaring Celestia's OmniscientMoralityLicense revoked, making it clear that the other races of Equus are not happy to hear about what she did to the humans and now they have every reason to fear for their own safety.
241** ''Negotiations'' hands several of these out throughout the series. Twilight Sparkle receives one from a human diplomat in the first story for still defending Celestia even after all the crimes she committed and ruining Equestria over her obsessive crusade to convert humanity, Celestia herself receives one from Twilight in the third story for [[spoiler:leaving the other races behind to die when she jumped Equestria to Earth and dragging Equestria into an unnecessary war because she chose to believe in the worst of the humans rather than attempt to achieve peaceful coexistence]], and the side story ''Choice'' has a few of its own scattered throughout the chapters.
242* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The main theme of ''Checkpoint.'' An HLF soldier is confronted by a family of newfoals and holds them at gunpoint. Absent any witnesses to condemn him or allies to encourage him, their fate is purely his own to decide. [[spoiler: [[RousseauWasRight He lets them go.]]]]
243* WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide: The ponies essentially force mankind to "convert" en masse into ponies. If they don't, they'll killed by the unstoppable barrier. The sentiments that ponies have towards this in some of the darker fics lean towards the Type A variant.
244* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: In some fics, Celestia is motivated by this, she thinks humans are wasting their potential by not using their talents for harmony.
245** Socrates from ''A Beacon of Hope'' specifically hates Celestia because of this, telling him to use his skills as a philosophy teacher to preach harmony made him make the jump [[FromNobodyToNightmare from teacher to ruler of a nation.]]
246* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Naturally, the HLF and PER are subject to this.
247** The HLF: LaResistance bravely fighting against the xenocidal ponies? Or {{Right Wing Militia Fanatic}}s bent on slaughtering every non-human?
248** The PER: Saviors of a fallen human race? Or [[TheQuisling Quislings]] who've thrown away their humanity in exchange for "paradise"? Or [[KnightTemplar Knight Templars]] who believe everyone should be ponified — regardless if they like it or not?
249* ZergRush: The ''Ten Rounds'' universes tend to rely on these, where groups of humans are usually overwhelmed by herds of smiling newfoals trying to dose them all with ponification serum.
