17	Not to be confused with LivingDream or ''Fanfic/LivingTheDream''
18	----
19	!! Living The Dream contains examples of:
20
21	* AbortedArc: It's revealed in the chapter "Great Day" that bronies are causing untold destruction across the Griffin Kingdom. Tensions between Equestria and the griffins are rising to the point of war. Only for the author to state their will be no war in the authors notes.
22	* AbsurdPhobia: When Lance was four, a tree frog crawled down his throat. Since then he has developed an intense aversion to tree frogs.
23	* AerithAndBob: Among the bronies we have Lance, Frederic, David, Greg, Peter, Seth, and... Zorrow.
24	* AlphaBitch: Diamond Tiara during the School Arc. She belittles Little Fawn for being a blank flank and Lance for looking weird.
25	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent:
26	** During the fight with Violent Inferno the perspective suddenly changes to Alexander and Fluttershy.
27	** After the Final Act, [[spoiler: the story focusses on Scamp and her obsession with ''[[TitleDrop Living The Dream]]'']].
28	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: This is a WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic, so naturally this applies. Special mention to Lance though. He's a zebra with cyan fur, red stripes, and a black mane.
29	* AmnesiaEpisode: In the chapter "Who am I!" Lance loses his memories after his consciences Break and Dawn destroy his memory bank. Following this Lance is renamed as Bitch Magnet, loses all his money, and is tricked into rubbing poison joke all over himself.
30	* ArchnemesisDad: Frederic and his father Richard have a violent history. Back on Earth, Frederic was forced into joining the Canadian Mob by his father. When Frederic tried to go to the police, Richard had him beaten and [[OffingTheOffspring executed]] for his unwillingness to join the family business. After the [[CaughtUpInTheRapture Rapture]], Richard wanted to go to wherever Frederic chose as his paradise, with the sole reason being that he wanted to kill him a second time.
31	* BerserkButton:
32	** Lance gets pissed off anytime a mare is hit.
33	** Booping Vinetion on the nose is a quick way to be put on her shit list.
34	* BestialityIsDepraved:
35	** Louie turns himself into a dog in the hopes of wooing Twilight. When that fails he hooks up with Winona, a completely normal and non-sapient dog, and has pups with her.
36	** In a nightmare it's revealed that Lance's cousins locked him in a barn and raped him with a horse.
37	* BirthdayEpisode: The chapter "Suprise!" has Lance celebrate his 18th birthday.
38	* BlackComedyRape:
39	** Happens several times throughout the story. Most often Lance Greenfield is the one who suffers this. For example, on Earth his [[CountryCousin cousins]] [[ClashingCousins James and Robert]] force Lance to get raped by a horse.
40	** The most prominent use of this trope is chapter 50 "Heat Survival". In which every mare in Equestria goes into heat, and the male characters are picked off [[DwindlingParty one by one]] until all of them are captured and raped for two days straight.
41	** Another significant example of this is when Annabel did a repeat of The Heat mentioned above. She turned the main cast into [[GenderBender mares]] (Except Vinetion) and forced them to survive an entire month in a city with [[MassHypnosis hypnotized sex hungry]] stallions. Fortunately the event was CutShort with only two characters getting raped.
42	* BlamingTheVictim: After Cody saves Lance from a mugging, he blames Lance for his lost check. Because if he never saved Lance, he would have never lost the check.
43	* BurningWithAnger:
44	** Lance's Breaking Dawn form has fire erupting from his hooves and eyes.
45	** Twilight bursts into flames when she hears about how Break and Dawn talk about her.
46	* ButtMonkey:
47	** Lance Greenfield can be considered this. Throughout the story he has had to face several beatings, multiple deaths, rape attempts, and was even [[GroinAttack made sterile]] from a {{Series/Jackass}} parody.
48	** Zorrow is the personification of this trope. He suffers constant beatings, gets [[CripplingCastration castrated]], and was raped for a period of two days. The worst part is that his [[WithFriendsLikeThese friends]] are the ones are usually causing his misery. It's not like he is [[AssholeVictim totally underserving]] of this though.
49	* CaughtUpInTheRapture: This is the premise of the entire story. Everyone on Earth is raptured and given a choice to choose between {{Heaven}}, {{Hell}}, or [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld any world]] they wish to live in.
50	* TheChewToy: Things never go well for Zorrow. He's constantly beat on, castrated, betrayed, raped, and so on. Rarely is his suffering taken seriously by the other characters.
51	* ChickMagnet: Somehow, Lance manages to get the attention of Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Princess Luna, [[PrecociousCrush Little Fawn]], and even [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Draco]].
52	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
53	** Early on Zane goes off an adventure to search for someone important to him, but he disappears with his arc unresolved.
54	** Louie the brony dog first appears in chapter 8 as a competitor for Twilight's love. When that fails he hooks up with [[BestialityIsDepraved Winona]] and vanishes from the story.
55	** Louie's Pups Weedy, Churchill, and Leonardo are also this trope. They were the pets of Greg, Lance, and David, but quickly fade into obscurity. They do get a brief Cameo in the chapter "Suprise!" though.
56	* CoolShades:
57	** Break always wears his badass sunglasses.
58	** Lance briefly wears some when seducing Twilight in the "We're Stuck!" chapter.
59	* CripplingCastration:
60	** Lance Greenfield loses the ability to have children in the chapter "[[{{Series/Jackass}} Jackflank!]]". While filming a Jackass parody, he is hit in the groin with a supersonic rock. Twice. Later in the same chapter, his testicles are crushed with a hammer.
61	** Zorrow, in the same chapter as above, is warned that if he damages his testicles again that they will have to be amputated. Upon hearing this, Peter tricks Zorrow into exposing himself and kicks bucks him full force in the jewels.
62	* {{Crossover}}: With [[https://fimfetch.net/story/2034/omnius-travels-equestria/1 ''Omnious' Travels: Equestria'']] and ''DarthWiki/ThreeOfMeSchoolSociety''.
63	* CurbStompBattle: This happens to Lance nearly anytime he gets into a fight.
64	* DepravedHomosexual: During the Pleasant Fields Arc, Draco has to constantly be reprimanded for trying to molest Lance before the [[SummoningRitual ritual]] is complete. Unfortunately, Draco is given an hour to use Lance as a plaything.
65	* DimensionalTraveler:
66	** All the bronies are this due to the Rapture.
67	** Special mention goes to Omnius a.k.a. The Traveler, whose job it to travel dimensions.
68	** Alexander gained this ability to escape the {{VideoGame/Portal}} dimension.
69	* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Downplayed. Early in the story Derpy Hooves is repeatedly mentioned as being mentally disabled as a result of consistent head trauma. She [[InformedFlaw never]] seems to show this off however.
70	* DistaffCounterpart: Grace is a gender swapped alternate dimension version of Razor Graze.
71	* TheDon: Frederic's Dad, Richard, is the Don of the Canadian Mob and was in control of downtown Montréal before the rapture.
72	* {{Doorstopper}}: Over 1 million words long and still ongoing.
73	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: All the male characters have been raped at some point in the story with little mention of trauma, punishment, or outcry. There's even a chapter where the women hunt down and rape all the men for sport as a national holiday.
74	* DrivenToSuicide: Mr. Bleak's son Blade took his own life after his lover passed because he couldn't live without her.
75	* DungFu: The chapter "Pleasant Fields: Arrival" has Lance and Frederic escaping a horde of dung flinging monkeys.
76	* EasilyForgiven:
77	** Lance forgives Rainbow Dash even after she tried to [[AttemptedRape rape]] him and tried to destroy his journal. He even forgave her after she accidentally killed him while she was trying to poison Twilight. The worst part is after Lance forgives her she tries to [[CrossesThelineTwice rape]] him again.
78	** Lance was quick to forgive Luna after she tried raping him because she backed off at the last second.
79	** Cody Benson was let free almost immediately even after he killed 13 royal guards and tried to kill Lance.
80	* EatenAlive: Lance has multiple chunks of flesh eaten off of him while being attacked by a random cannibal.
81	* TheExile: Mr. Bleak and his son Blade were banished from Equestria for siding with Nightmare Moon
82	* FacelessGoons: The Darkness is a group of entirely black and featureless ponies that follow [[spoiler: The Nightmare]].
83	* FantasticGhetto: In the dark timeline bronies are forced to live in decrepit shanty towns such as New Ripman.
84	* FantasticRacism: Bronies are considered a subhuman menace in the dark timeline. Bronies are hated, forced to live in decaying ghettos, and are forcefully branded with a capital B. Even having [[OneDropRule one drop]] of brony blood is enough to qualify for such treatment.
85	* FatalFamilyPhoto: Lieutenant Brink pulls out a photo of his wife and daughter while searching for a SerialKiller, only to later end up with a knife in the chest.
86	* FountainOfYouth:
87	** In the chapter "Who Am I", Lance is tricked into rubbing poison joke all over himself and is turned into a child for the next several chapters.
88	** In the final act, [[spoiler: Lance is reverted to his seventeen year old self after The Watcher restarted the timeline]].
89	* GoodAngelBadAngel: All the consciences are this. Dawn and Joy being the good angel, and Break and Kill being the bad angel.
90	* GoToSleepEnding: Several chapters end with Lance going to sleep.
91	* GenderBender: [[RealityWarper Annabel]] changes the main cast (Except Vinetion) into mares for the second heat arc. She also changes the mares of Manehattan into stallions so there's a higher chance for the bronies to get raped. She is forced by Twilight to change them back however.
92	* GreenThumb: Vinetion is capable of growing and manipulating vines by stomping her hooves.
93	* HairTriggerAvalanche: Lance triggers one at the end of the chapter "Getting the News" because he yelled in shock when told that Twilight was going into labor. The next chapter "Stallion VS Wild" shows Lance and Peter trying to survive said avalanche.
94	* HalloweenEpisode: "Nightmare Night Part 1"
95	* HappilyAdopted: In the chapter "Adoption", Little Fawn is adopted by Lance and is immediately accepted by the rest of the family.
96	** Subverted later on. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that Lance and Twilight have been [[ParentalNeglect neglecting]] her because of a mind block placed on them by Frederic.]]
97	* HatesBeingTouched: In Dali's culture, it's highly offensive to touch any one without being close to them, and they will act as if they've been raped if someone so much as taps them.
98	* HeelFaceTurn: Cody Benson befriends the bronies after he atones during the ChristmasSpecial.
99	* HeelRealization: In the ChristmasSpecial, Cody realizes that Lance is not the one to blame for his families' death and apologizes to Lance profusely.
100	* IKnowWhatYouFear: Subverted. [[spoiler: The Nightmare]] shape shifts into a form Lance's uncle used to scare him with. However, Lance is an adult now, and no longer fears bedtime story monsters.
101	-->'''Lance:''' How...
102	-->'''[[spoiler: The Nightmare]]:''' Simple. I just picked one of the things you feared and took it as my own form.
103	-->'''Lance:''' Yeah, but I'm not scared of that thing anymore.
104	* ImAHumanitarian: At the end of the chapter "Adoption" Lance is attacked and [[EatenAlive partially eaten]] by a random cannibal.
105	* ImprovisedWeapon: When Lance is pinned down by a hypnotized stallion, he slams a book into the stallion's face.
106	* InsistentTerminology: Zorrow will insist that he is observing Applejack, not spying or stalking.
107	-->'''Zorrow:''' I'm not spying, I'm observing.
108	-->'''Seth:''' Same thing.
109	-->'''Zorrow:''' No it is not. Spying is hiding and taking notes on someone so you can give the information away or something along those lines. Observing is where you observe their habits and learn about them. Know everything about them so you will be able to approach them the right way.
110	* InvisibleToNormals: Only people with consciences can see other consciences. [[{{Telepathy}} Mind readers]] are capable of hearing them, but not seeing them
111	* IrrationalHatred: Cody Benson's reason for wanting to kill Lance is entirely nonsensical. Back on Earth, Cody Saved Lance from a random mugging, but during the skirmish Cody lost a check. A check that had the money to save his father from a LoanShark. Not only does he not realize he can get another check, he also [[NeverMyFault pushes]] [[BlamingTheVictim blame]] onto Lance.
112	* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: When Zorrow is tackled by Pinkie Pie during The Heat, he tells the everyone else to run and immediately regrets it.
113	-->'''Zorrow:''' Run man, save yourself.
114	-->'''Lance:''' Thanks dude, I so owe you!
115	-->'''Zorrow:''' What the fuck! I didn't fucking mean it! Get back here and save me!
116	* JerkAss:
117	** Greg has done numerous awful actions during his stay in Equestria. He loves spiking drinks with alcohol or other substances without the consent of others. He often injures towards those around him for his amusement, and gets annoyed when told to stop. He's even responsible for both child labor and sexual misconduct of said children. Why anyone tolerates him is a mystery.
118	** Seth is always seen abusing [[ButtMonkey Zorrow]]. For example, He and Greg threw Zorrow down a flight of stairs, out a window, and rolled him down a hill towards the person who broke all his bones. Zorrow is in a full body cast when this happens.
119	** Annabel's defining characteristic is pranking people. To be more specific, her pranks always involve her victims being sexually assaulted one way or another.
120	* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind:
121	** Several times in the story Lance has nightmares about an incident on a farm. In the chapter "A Trip Into The Mind", Twilight and Lance go inside his mindscape to relive the memory with the intent of finding the source of the trauma. The incident in question happened on Lance's grandad's farm. Lance's [[ClashingCousins cousins]] locked him in the barn and had a horse [[RapeAsBackstory forced]] upon him. Lance never trully overcomes his trauma, but talking about it with Twilight lessened its hold on him.
122	** Lance's mind is visited several times after this, mostly as a way for him to show his memories to other characters.
123	* LargeHam: Frederic's Dad, Mr. Bleak, and Violent Inferno.
124	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter:
125	** In the Final Act, [[spoiler: The Watcher invades Equestria and restarts the timeline]].
126	** In the Epilogue, [[spoiler: Scamp finishes reading Living The Dream and obsesses with proving Lance innocent]].
127	* LoveAtFirstSight: Nearly every romance in the story is plagued with this.
128	* MarkOfShame: In the dark timeline bronies are branded with a on their flank.
129	* MauriceChevalierAccent: Aaron is given a french accent in the let's read.
130	* MayanDoomsday: In the first chapter Lance and his friend group stay up late to see if doomsday would come. Turns out not only was it true, it was actually the [[CaughtUpInTheRapture Rapture]].
131	* MeaningfulName:
132	** Greg's pony name, Mellow Haze, is quite fitting with his [[TheStoner stoner habits]].
133	** Likewise, Greg's stoner dog is named Weedy.
134	** The physical manifestation of evil is referred to as The Nightmare.
135	* MentalWorld: Lance's mindscape is represented by a blank white void with a computer. It makes the occasional appearance when Lance's memories need to be watched.
136	* MessianicArchetype: Lance Greenfield is the Equestrian equivalent of Jesus. He easily forgives those for their wrongdoings and befriends them. He has a group of loyal companions in the bronies. He was hated at first because of his appearance, before becoming a respected hero. To top it off, Lance has been killed and revived several times, even [[spoiler: becoming one of [[AngelicTransformation God's angels]] after sacrificing himself]].
137	* TheMultiverse: The story mentions at least four different versions of Equestria. On top of that, other universes like the {{VideoGame/Portal}} universe and the VideoGame/DeadRising universe are visited.
138	* MyBelovedSmother: When Dana Greenfield met God after the rapture, she asked to be sent wherever her son Lance went to. Upon finding him, they got into a shouting match about how Lance doesn't want to live with her anymore. When Lance refused to budge, Dana tried to convince the captain of the Royal Guard to drag him out of his house. Eventually she realized Lance deserved to be independent, but she had this revelation while breaking into his house and watching him sleep.
139	* NonindicativeName: Little Fawn is a pony, not a deer.
140	* NotSoFinalConfession: Lance and Frederic have this exchange while backed up against a cliff.
141	-->'''Lance:''' I used swords to dig a ditch... and I used you're tooth brush for a sex toy one night when Twilight was feeling a little extra horny...
142	-->'''Frederic:''' You used my swords to dig a freaking ditch? Wait... you did what with my tooth brush?
143	-->'''Lance:''' Well Twilight wanted a little extra stimulation on her marehood, so I used it there. She also tied me up and stuck it in my... you get the picture... we had a lot of fun with that little tooth brush that night... We sure do miss it.
144	* OffingTheOffspring: Richard had his son Frederic beaten and killed because he refused to embrace the Canadian Mob back on Earth. Post-rapture, he asks god to send him to Equestria so he can kill his son a second time, but is unsuccessful in killing him again. He tries and fails a third time during the Nightmare Arc.
145	* OneDropRule: In the dark timeline, anyone who has any human blood in them are considered a brony.
146	-->'''Calypso:''' If one of your parents is a Brony, you are labeled as a Brony. Same goes for anyone who has human blood in their family tree. It's why so many ponies avoid getting with Bronies, don't want to doom your kids and their kids.
147	* OverlyLongName: Seth's full name is Seth Sethity Sethinston The Sethinteenth, most just call him Seth.
148	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero:
149	** Lance seems to have a severe aversion to gay men, even calling one a faggot to his face. He has [[DoubleStandard no problem with lesbians]] though.
150	** Razor Graze's BattleCry when facing women is to tell them to [[StayInTheKitchen get back to the kitchen]]. He's also the only male character to have raped a woman and justified it with the logic that it's not rape if they enjoyed it. His consciences aren't much better.
151	* PreciousPuppies: Louie's pups Churchill, Weedy, and Leonardo.
152	* RageAgainstTheAuthor: In the non-canon chapter "Imagination Unleashed" Lance and the rest of the cast break into the author's room and break every bone in his body.
153	* RapeAsBackstory: Back on Earth, Lance's cousins locked him in the barn and forced a horse on Lance. Despite this, the incident doesn't seem to affect him aside from the occasional nightmare.
154	* ReincarnatedAsANonHumanoid: Lance dies on Earth during the rapture and becomes a pony in Equestria.
155	* ReincarnateInAnotherWorld: After the [[CaughtUpInTheRapture Rapture]], God gave everyone three choices of where they would like to go. The first two choices were heaven and hell, but the third choice would put you in any world you desired. Naturally, the story follows those who picked the third choice, that being [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria]]
156	* RememberedICouldFly: Lance is often put into dangerous situations only to remember he can fly. For example, he and Frederic are being chased by a group of enraged monkeys, only to facehoof and fly away.
157	* RestartTheWorld: In the Final Act, [[spoiler: The Watcher invades Equestria with the intent of erasing the tainted world. He succeeds, bringing Lance back to the day of The Rapture, and threatening to give him a fate worst than death if he tries to fix it.]].
158	* {{Retirony}}: Lieutenant Brink laments that he's busy watching out for a mass murderer instead of staying home with his family. He was even planning to take the next day off for his daughter's ninth birthday and pulls out a [[FatalFamilyPhoto family photo]] to reminisce. He gets stabbed in the chest and dies.
159	* SadistTeacher: Mr. Bleak will lock his students in the classroom and hit them if they ever break his Four rules. No talking, no eating (he will offer food and hit them if they accept), no leaving your seat, and to not touch his ruler (unless he is hitting them). On top of that, punishing his students gives him a sort of sexual glee.
160	* SatelliteLoveInterest: With the exception of Twilight, the bronie's love interests are rarely show doing anything of note.
161	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
162	** When the bronies were hiding during the "Heat Survival" chapter, Frederic teleported away when the door was being kicked in.
163	** When asked to help fight against [[spoiler: The Nightmare]], Malbatorus flew away and hid until it was over.
164	* SecretIdentity: Averted. Most of the bronies are introduced with their pony name to hide that they are human, but in most cases they get quickly dropped in favor of their human names.
165	* SelfInsertFic:
166	** Averted. While one might call Lance a Mary Sue, he was never written with the intention of being a self insert.
167	** Played straight with the other OCs. Many of the original characters are insertions from reviewers and commenters.
168	* SexMiseducationClass: In the chapter "Mr. Stoner Teacher Man", [[TheStoner Greg]] takes it upon himself to teach Sex Ed in Miss Cheerilee's class. First he shows porn of various people drawn by David, of which includes relatives of those in the class. Secondly, Greg brings out a realistic doll of himself, and then proceeds to [[ScrewYourself fornicate]] with it while the class is forced to watch.
169	* SirSwearsALot: Most of the OCs will casually swear, but the top contenders are Break, Kill, and Razor Graze.
170	* SlippingAMickey: Lance tricks Greg into drinking a glass of water full of sleeping pills that David left lying around.
171	* SolidClouds: A natural effect of being set in the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic universe. Characters will occasionally be seen sleeping on clouds.
172	* SongFic: The story has a plethora of songs scattered throughout the various chapters.
173	** The chapter "The Grand Galloping Gala Part 2" has Peter singing "The Poet And The Muse" by Music/PoetsOfTheFall.
174	** The chapter "Wedding Reception" has Aaron and Vinyl perform "Party Rock Anthem" by {{Music/LMFAO}}.
175	** The chapter "The Long Awaited Wedding" has Lance sing "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven at his wedding.
176	** The chapter "Love For A Musician" has Peter sing "Carnival Of Rust" by Poets Of The Fall for Rarity
177	** The chapter "TSSCS 6000" includes the "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" song.
178	** The chapter "A Talent Duel!" has Lance sing three songs for a talent competition. In order, the songs are "Good Riddance (Time Of Our Life)" by Music/GreenDay, "Higher" by {{Music/Creed\|band}}, and "Lil Pip" by Pinkie Guy.
179	** The chapter "Split Personality" has a song written by one of the OCs owners called "Luckiest One Around".
180	** The chapter "A Day With The Family" has Lance sing "Wiccan Lullaby" by Music/InkubusSukkubus for his family.
181	* SplitPersonality:
182	** In the chapter "Split personality" Lance is hit by a Split personality spell and as a result he gets... a split personality. These two personalities are called [[GoodAngelBadAngel Consciences]], and their names are Break and Dawn. Break is the violent, loud, and sexually aggressive conscience, While Dawn is the Calm, Collected, and good conscience...Supposedly. The consciences are capable of [[SplitPersonalityTakeover taking over]] Lance's body and powering it into a super form called [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Breaking Dawn]].
183	** During the "Crossover of Consciences" arc Razor Graze from DarthWiki/ThreeOfMeSchoolSociety shows off his consciences Kill and Joy. Graze can [[FusionDance fuse]] with his consciences to go into his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Killjoy]] form.
184	** Pinkie Pie has her Consciences Pinkamena and Suprise, but they only appear briefly in ''Living The Dream''. They have a much larger role in ''DarthWiki/ThreeOfMeSchoolSociety'' though.
185	* StalkerWithACrush: Zorrow towards Applejack. He is often seen hiding in [[TreeCover the bushes]] at Sweet Apple Acres while watching her work unaware of his presence.
186	* TheStoner:
187	** There's not a moment where you will find Greg without a blunt. He learned {{Transmutation}} for the sole purpose of bringing weed to Equestria. Weed is not the only substance he's willing to get high on though, seeing as he broke into a hospital to steal morphine.
188	** To a lesser extant is Greg's dog Weedy, who was chain smoking blunts at only a month old.
189	* TalkingToThemself: Lance is the only one who can hear Break and Dawn other than Razor Graze. He will occasionally talk or yell out loud while conversing to his consciences and be gawked at.
190	* TimeSkip: There are several minor time skips through out the story that are at most a few months long. However, in the final act [[spoiler:there is a several year time skip that takes place eleven years after the start of the story]]
191	* ThoseTwoGuys: Seth and Zorrow. These two are rarely seen without the other one nearby. They only appear for comedic relief. Usually at the expense of Zorrow.
192	* UndignifiedDeath: At the end of chapter 4 Lance accidentally eats a poisoned cupcake meant for Twilight and dies. He gets better though.
193	%%* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: The Watcher]].
