Line #2 YMMV/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse


1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Given the way several fics portray her, Ditzy can come across as dangerously over-attached to her daughter.
2	* BrokenBase: There are four camps relating to ''At the Grand Galloping Gala'', the culmination of the season 1 Night Court storyline. One faction feels that the fic ruins things because it makes the Night Court too dark and evil, able to cause a whole town to suffer because one pony in it hates Trixie. One faction feels that the fic ruins things because it turns Trixie and company into hypocritical criminals and Luna into a tyrant (an ironic protest given that she expressed fear of that very thing happening InUniverse) for letting them get away with what is essentially treason in order to expose/punish the (comparatively smaller) crimes of the bad nobles. A third group thinks that the fic breaks everything in both ways; that by implying that treason is the only way to fix the Court, it makes the Court far more broken and malign than before while also not actually solving the corruption (since Trixie and company would get away with what they did). And a fourth faction likes things just fine or wishes the Court's punishment had been more severe.
3	* CrackPairing:
4	** [[spoiler: Pinkie Pie and Blueblood]]. [=RainbowDoubleDash=] has repeatedly referred to it as "the one good thing to come out of ''At the Grand Galloping Gala''", a fact that is surprisingly universally agreed upon.
5	** [[spoiler: Diamond Tiara and Scootaloo]] also fill this role quite nicely.
6	* CrazyIsCool: Trajectory. His ultimate plan? It's to ''destroy the sun'' with a catapult. Which basically means firing safes, anvils, and pianos towards it. Essentially, he's shooting unbelievably heavy death in ''every direction'' because he doesn't understand how far away the sun is.
7	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Octavia Philharmonica has had a CharacterDevelopment arc throughout the season that is arguably as meaningful as those of the Elements of Harmony, even getting her own character focus episodes.
8	* HarsherInHindsight: The non-cannon story ''Dinky and the Blanks'' has the antagonists removing their cutie marks somehow, and banishing anyone from their town who gets one. The story was written in 2012, years before Starlight Glimmer showed up.
9	* HilariousInHindsight: The Sirens in ''Longest Day, Longest Night'' match the Dazzlings very closely, from their appearance to their powers to working in a trio, despite the story having come out two years before ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]''.
10	* IronWoobie: Piano Amour. Her family's situation was going downhill so hard that she didn't care anymore even if she'd fail the symphony: she'd get Luna's attention one way or another, no matter what it'd cost to herself.
11	* JerkassWoobie:
12	** If you still think of Applejack as being a jerk after reading Carrot Top Season, you might be part demon. Everything she does she does because she thinks that she has to and, since she works too hard, she has no idea why the townsfolk might not like her.
13	** Diamond Tiara in ''Scootalong for the Cheer''.
14	** Arguably, Corona herself.
15	* MisaimedFandom: Some readers have a habit of assuming the worst of certain characters. The standout examples being the belief that L!Applebloom is a bully similar to Diamond Tiara, and that L!Twilight [[spoiler: would be perfectly willing to team up with Corona]]. These ideas annoy [=RainbowDoubleDash=] enough to discourage people from believing them. Both of these examples lessened considerably after ''Carrot Top Season'' and ''A Chance Encounter'' were published. The former showed Applebloom in more detail and the latter proved that Twilight does not sympathize with [[spoiler: Corona]]. [=RainbowDoubleDash=] has also noted that readers have come to see the Lunaverse as a lot darker than he originally intended. Up to eleven with ''At the Grand Galloping Gala'', which even has some of the authors protesting how dark the story has gotten.
16	* MoralEventHorizon:
17	** The reader consensus is that Flim and Flam have well and truly crossed this horizon by [[spoiler:kidnapping Apple Bloom]].
18	** Long comment threads in 'At the Grand Galloping Gala' reveal that some folks think that fic included moral event horizons for Viceroy Night Light (who [[spoiler: delayed reconstruction funding to Ponyville because he hates Trixie]]), the Court as a whole (who tolerates this), and/or Trixie (who [=RainbowDoubleDash=] implied would [[spoiler: use the Truth is a Scourge potion on the entire Court and force them all to reveal all their secrets, which would be hypocritical, since that act itself is highly illegal and borders on treason but she intends to do it to protest the illegal dealings of the Court]]).
19	** Given she's a corrupt, scheming, greedy ass long before we meet her, it's hard to tell when Puissance actually crossed the line, but a good contender in ''Ice Hearts'' is threatening to forcibly separate Ditzy and Dinky, even claiming to spoil (read: effectively brainwash) Dinky so hard she'd forget her mother.
20	** [[spoiler:Kindle's seduction of Raindrops is considered this by a significant portion of the fanbase.]]
21	* {{Narm}}: The amount of times Ditzy refers to Dinky as "my little muffin" through ''Ice Hearts'' is excessive.
22	* NeverLiveItDown: Applejack's early portrayal as dangerously obsessive over her farm's future, to say nothing of her becoming increasingly hostile and paranoid through ''Carrot Top Season''. The early portrayal of the regular Mane 6 in general was (and on occasion still is) this.
23	* OneSceneWonder: Coconut, Featherbed, Marching Order, Duke Greengrass in ''Carrot Top Season'', and the Sirens (with a musical number, no less).
