This fanfic provides examples of:
- Eldritch Abomination: The Eaters are a mysterious race of planet-eating monsters that blight the universe. The only thing that could possibly hold them back was the Horde, and with them gone...
- Growing Wings: The tiny wings on Glimmer's shoulders grew to full size by the start of the fanfic, the sudden metamorphosis apparently how that works with her mother's species.
- I Coulda Been a Contender!: After they beat back the newly emerging New Horde, Hordak still feels like a failure, having needed help in fighting what he views as the person who usurped his accomplishments away from him. Entrapta cheers him up by pointing out how often her experiments end in explosions.
- It's the Principle of the Thing: While Hordak is no longer a bad guy, when he finds out that someone replaced him as head of the Etherian Horde in a new invasion campaign, he shows up to tell the General off himself.Hordak: Who are you, that claims to be equal to me?
The General: I have no name. I have no face. I have no voice. I am the Horde Incarnate.
Hordak: Is that so?
The General: You created me. Created us. And now we take our existence into our own hands.
Hordak: I did not create you. You are a charlatan, scrounging for scraps in the rubble I left in my wake. Because you are too weak to make power for yourself, you clothe yourself in the shadow of my achievements. And still, they ring hollow. Just like your empty skull. - Mythology Gag: While the people of Etheria called them "the First Ones", the rest of the universe calls them "Eternians".
- Samus Is a Girl: Catra immediately concludes that the General is a woman.
- Stating the Simple Solution: Micah recommends that Glimmer use a long-distance communication spell to contact him when she is in space. Her response:Glimmer: Or I can just ask Entrapta to call home.
Micah: That too. - Vestigial Empire: With Hordak no longer leading the Etherian Horde, some members of the Horde decided to occupy Erelandia (the Fright Zone having been given back to Scorpia's family) under a new leader. While the General sees this as the dawn of a new era for the Horde, Hordak calls the General a carrion feeder trying to make a name for themselves using his accomplishments.
