| 2 | * BizarroEpisode: The original version of chapter 18 -- covering the formation of a unified Equestrian government after the Winter War, it suddenly runs into a tangent about how awesome Puddinghead's parties were, then describes a scene where Hurricane and [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slendermare]] fought over who's sexiest, and then there was an orgy... and then Twilight Sparkle wakes up at her desk, where she fell asleep working on the text. This was an April Fool's Day joke chapter, and it was later moved to ''Brief History: Side Stories'' and replaced with a proper chapter. |
| 3 | * CompleteMonster: [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Talonhoof the Reviled]] started out as a simple assassin before [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership killing the last Griffin Emperor and uniting the Diamond Dogs and Griffins into the biggest empire the world has ever seen]]. Talonhoof has all the Ponies on his land, [[WouldHurtAChild children included]], enslaved to work in the salt mines. After a failed assassination by a group of renegade Equestrians, Talonhoof has the mastermind of the attempt tortured to death and declares war on Equestria, determined to [[FinalSolution exterminate the Ponies]]. Leading his army to slaughter everything they see, Talonhoof has a young soldier in his army ForcedToWatch as Talonhoof beats the child he spared to death before having said soldier painfully executed. Unwilling to accept any surrender, Talonhoof has the city of Celestine blown up. |
| 4 | * FridgeHorror: In spite of [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial what the narration says]], it is strongly suspected that Mareinus and Sullamander were lovers before the latter's appointment as Second-in-Command, and that Mareinus was a [[PaedoHunt pedophile with a filly fixation]]. So what does that mean about how far back their relationship goes? |
| 5 | ** [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy You like popsicles?]] |
| 6 | %%* MoralEventHorizon: Talonhoof soared past this long ago. |
| 7 | %%* NightmareFuel: ''Every damn thing Talonhoof does''. |
| 8 | * TearJerker: |
| 9 | ** Princess Platinum's final moments, wherein she convinces herself both that her father and Star-Swirl would be disappointed in her and that she'd be facing eternal damnation for the NecessarilyEvil acts she performed for the greater good. Also, Velvet Hooves' and Clover's emotional breakdowns in reaction to her death. |
| 10 | ** There's also Platinum admitting to herself that the reason she's never let herself return Velvet Hooves' love for her is the fact that, with her Special Talent being literally a ManipulativeBitch, she can never be sure that she didn't subconsciously ''make'' him love her. |
| 11 | ** At one point, a letter from Smart Cookie mentions that of her seven children, only four of them survived to adulthood. |
