Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Invoked InUniverse. Genies and djinn are related but different entities, the biggest difference being that genies have traded their freedom for immortality and power.
* OverprotectiveDad: Twilight's father comes across this way when he's first introduced. It turns out he's just putting on the act to test Trixie.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Aside from the obvious perversion potential of being able to warp reality with a wish (which Twilight occasionally makes use of), Twilight also demonstrates that her ethereal tail is rather good at binding Trixie up.

* BroughtDownToNormal: after becoming sentient, Twilight and Trixie's genie magic decides to take a vacation, leaving Twilight and Trixie as normal ponies for a week. Problem is, they've been genies for a couple of years by this point, and are out of practice with some normal pony things. [[FacePlant Like walking]].

* BoomerangBigot: [[spoiler:Zephyr Dimaond, an Air Djinn, hates his fellow Djinni and Genies for how they turned Saddle Arabia into a barren wasteland while fighting its evil sultan.]]

Problem is, they've been genies for a couple of years by this point, and are out of practice with some normal pony things. [[FacePlant Like walking]].



* ChekhovsGun: It's mentioned that [[spoiler:Genies aren't protected by the same rules as mortals are in regard to their wishes]]. While this is originally used by [[spoiler:[[BigBad the Sultan]] to kill Twilight, [[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/90477485127 Zephyr]] exploits it to bring her BackFromTheDead after Trixie kills the Sultan.]]



* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the other prominent genie blog, ''Ask Genie Twilight''. Unlike ''Genie Twilight'', which is a lighthearted SliceOfLife blog, ''Twixie Genies'' is a {{Deconstruction}} of the idea of becoming a genie. Twilight's transformation meant she was completely bound to her bottle, causing her to go half-mad with grief and loneliness. As a result, she became an impish, manipulative, selfish trickster who only started to return to true sanity with the help of Trixie and, oddly enough, the Twilight from ''Genie Twilight''. [[spoiler:Also, Twilight's hamfisted decision to forcefully isolate herself from her friends and family for months ends up having [[WhatTheHellHero realistic consequences]].]]



* DoNotTauntCthulhu: [[spoiler: [[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/86931901442 The sultan]] tried to imprison ''all'' the Djinn, good ''and'' evil. This ended up enraging the Djinn race to the point that they laid waste to his kingdom, ultimately taking all his subjects to another land and it's implied they turned him into SealedEvilInACan. To be fair, they ''did'' beseech him to stop ''several'' times and he was simply too obsessed to do so.]]



* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Twilight is graphically disintegrated into powder, all while desperately attempting to crawl to Trixie just to hold her one last time.]]
** [[spoiler:[[BigBad The Sultan's]] death]] from may also count, though not to the same degree. [[spoiler:[[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/90167594657 Trixie more or less incinerates him.]]]]



* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:The Sultan]]. Not only is he [[spoiler:immune to Genie Magic completely]], but the only option the heroes have when he shows up is ''run''. As if that wasn't enough, he even [[spoiler:seemingly ''kills'' [[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/89778268262 Twilight by catching one of her wishes and throwing it back at her.]]]]



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The Sultan]] [[spoiler:kills Twilight by reflecting the wish she tried using on him back at her.]] He's then hit with this in return when [[spoiler:the resulting rage this causes Trixie results in [[LimitBreak her bottle breaking]], allowing her to blast him to nothing.]] Could count as a double dose, considering [[spoiler:Trixie was presumably able to kill him for the same reason he could kill Twilight, namely that immortals aren't protected by Genie Rules, something she wouldn't have known if he hadn't revealed it.]]



* KnightTemplar: [[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/86931901442 The Sultan]]]]. While he wanted to protect his subjects from the evil members of the djinn race, he tried to imprison them ''all'', good ''and'' evil. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu This did not end well.]]



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Remember how Twilight [[spoiler:[[http://fav.me/d5snbef became a Genie in the first place]]]]? It turns out that [[spoiler:[[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/88781996552/link-to-original-posts in doing so she accidentally unleashed]] [[SealedEvilInACan an ancient evil sultan from his prison.]]]]
*** Also, [[spoiler:it turns out that turning an already power mad, genocidal dictator with delusions of godhood and dreams of TakingOverTheWorld into a powerful ice monster may ''not'' have been the best idea for a punishment.]]

[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone They realize she's right]] and have her blow down the wall keeping ponies from reaching them so they can set things right.
*** [[http://asktwixiegenies.tumblr.com/post/51729764292 Later]], Applejack and Rainbow Dash are clearly ticked with Twilight for not thinking about contacting them this whole time. [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash, who thought this was because Twilight stopped caring about them, relents when Twilight explains she was [[GoMadFromTheIsolation forced into a life of maddening exile]] with little hope of ever seeing them again, but Applejack took it much harder because Twilight thought a single letter telling them she was okay would be enough to apologize for hurting them]].

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Genie bottles (at least for pony genies) display the cutie mark of their occupant, and this remains consistent throughout the comic even when genies are being transferred to and from bottles. Notably, Twilight and Trixie's shared bottle has a cutie mark that's a combination of both of theirs (you can even see it changing after Twilight moves in), and when Trixie is later taken from the bottle, the cutie mark reverts back to Twilight's.

* TheAgeless: It doesn't appear that a genie can age, making Twilight and Trixie effectively immortal. Trixie notes this herself when she points out to Zephyr Diamond that she can wait around doing nothing a lot longer than he can. Their genie nature also makes them very resistant to physical damage (their bodies are semi-incorporeal, and they can shapeshift). On top of that, they have magic to defend themselves with, and on top of ''that'', there's a fundamental safeguard in the rules of genie magic which sends them to a new container if their old one is destroyed.
