* NitpickyAboutLivingArrangements: Twilight is struggling to accept her new castle home after her previous one (a tree hollowed out to convert into a library) was destroyed by the villain Tirek. When her friends try to liven up the place for her, their own ways of living clash and the castle becomes even more of a mess than ever. It's only when they start thinking of what Twilight wants that they manage to make the castle feel more like home.

** As they think about what made the Golden Oak Library a home for Twilight, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom Rainbow Dash mentions the time she crashed into the library while practicing for the Sonic Rainboom]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E8LookBeforeYouSleep Rarity recalls the time she and Applejack had a sleepover there]], and [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Pinkie Pie remembers when it got blown to smithereens]]. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers That last memory doesn't go over very well]].

* SuperOCD: Twilight spends an entire afternoon rearranging a single gem drawer (which contained only 12 gems that all look exactly the same). However, it turns out that [[SubvertedTrope she was mainly doing it to waste as much time as possible]].

* OffModel: When Twilight flies out of Fluttershy's cottage, she has the standard pegasus wings instead of her alicorn wings.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Tiny ornaments that hold memorable scenes seem unlikely today, but small keychains holding a photo slide and loupe used to be common mementos at tourist destinations.

* PunBasedTitle: to the common expression "home sweet home," which is what Twilight yearns for after the destruction of the Golden Oak Library.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: PlayedForLaughs. When the ponies realize their squabbling has led to the castle no closer to feeling like a home for Twilight, Fluttershy bemoans that she is going to feel sad when she returns. However, when she says ‘sad’, it echoes throughout the halls.
