** In one panel, Twilight can be seen reading a book titled "Predictions and Prophecies" - this was the book Twilight consulted in the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon first episode]] of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']] to find out that Nightmare Moon's return was imminent.

** In one panel, Twilight can be seen reading a book titled "Predictions and Prophecies" - this was the tome seen in the opening of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', which kicks off the events of the series.

* FlatWhat: Rarity reacts this way to one particularly baffling piece of audience advice.

* ThePrankster: Aurora Dash.

* StraightMan: The Captain pretty much disregards any nonsense from Pinkie.

** The very first line of the comic is Pinkie reprising her "Giggle at the Ghostly" song from [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony the show's pilot two-parter]].
** The notion of Pinkie being a psychic, the outfit that she wears, and the Mystical Orb of Fate's Destiny, all originated in the show episode "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime It's About Time]]".

*** Flutterbat is almost identical to Fluttershy's accidental bat pony transformation in the show episode "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E7Bats Bats!]]"
*** Aurora Dash is a windigo, a wind spirit first seen in "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve Hearth's Warming Eve]]"
*** Tatzlpony is based on the Tatzlwurm from "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E11ThreesACrowd Three's a Crowd]]".
*** Clarity is a crystal golem, which resembles (and may be the same as) a crystal pony, first seen in "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E1TheCrystalEmpirePart1 The Crystal Empire]]".
*** Twilight is a breezie, first seen in "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E16ItAintEasyBeingBreezies It Ain't Easy Being Breezies]]".
** The moon has the alicorn-head-shaped marking seen in the [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon pilot episode]], indicating that Nightmare Moon is still inhabiting it. A later strip shows that Princess Luna has a mythical status in this universe, suggesting that the events of Nightmare Moon's banishment did indeed occur one thousand years ago.
** Clarity occasionally uses Rarity's "the worst possible thing" line from "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]".
** Flutterbat's excitement at meeting a breezie for the first time mirrors Fluttershy's reaction to Spike in the [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon pilot episode]].
** The Equestrian holiday of Nightmare Night was first seen in the show episode "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed Luna Eclipsed]]", and Pinkie appears to be just as enthusiastic about trick-or-treating as her canon counterpart.

* ZombieAdvocate: The role that Pinkie Pie has assumed.

''[[http://misspiesmonsters.tumblr.com Miss Pie's Monsters]]'' is a {{Tumblr}} webcomic and [[Blog/AskAPony Ask Blog]] by [[http://heir-of-rick.deviantart.com Heir of Rick]], based on ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

* AvengersAssemble: As Pinkie explains at some length, her mission is to assemble a diverse group of Everfree ponies. She doesn't actually seem to be using any kind of selection criteria, however, but rather just going with whoever she happens to bump into.

** King Sombra appears in Flutterbat's ImagineSpot about the dangers faced by breezies. The only breezie who isn't flying away in terror is Shining Armor.

* BoisterousWeakling: Twilight is hot-tempered and aggressive, but her tiny stature makes her completely ineffectual in actually fighting anypony physically. Aurora Dash is able to keep her at bay with barely any effort.

* FlatWhat: Rarity reacts this way to one particularly baffling piece of audience advice.

** The notion of Pinkie being a psychic, the outfit that she wears, and the Mystical Orb of Fate's Destiny, all originated in the show episode "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime It's About Time]]"..

* OutOfGenreExperience: Pinkie appears to be trying to invoke one in [[http://misspiesmonsters.tumblr.com/post/118070718342 this strip]] with the pretense of being a psychic detective. It doesn't work.

*** Clarity is a crystal golem, which greatly resembles (and may be the same as) a crystal pony, first seen in "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E1TheCrystalEmpirePart1 The Crystal Empire]]".

* TheNapoleon: The tiny breezie Twilight definitely has a bit of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex Napoleon complex]] going on.

* SuperiorSpecies: Breezies appear to be this, looking down on Equestrian ponies for some reason.

* OverlyLongTongue: Tatzlpony's defining feature. It's longer than her whole body, prehensile, strong enough to hold up its own weight whilst carrying a pony, and she has at least two of them. If she's related to the Tatzlwurm, then it's possible she has three, although the tongues aren't always visible (she's able to fully contain them inside herself).

* CrystalBall: Pinkie's standard device for information gathering and for receiving communications from the Tumblr audience.

* UnreliableExpositor: Pinkie Pie's CloudCuckooLander tendencies sometimes make it difficult to tell if what she's saying is true, accurate, or even based in reality. Her exposition has been directly challenged at least once by the Captain.

* MonsterCompendium: Twilight is actually compiling a field guide to Everfree ponies as part of her research. Naturally, this is something that never occurred to Pinkie, despite how useful it would be to her mission.

* FoodPorn: Due to Twilight's small size, the panel of her [[http://misspiesmonsters.tumblr.com/post/119236754657 chewing on a cookie]] is zoomed in so close that you can see every last delicious detail of it, right down to the rugged texture of the cooked dough and the individual chocolate chips.

* PunnyName:
** Clarity (a crystal pony version of Rarity).

** The moon has the alicorn-head-shaped marking seen in the [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon pilot episode]], indicating that Nightmare Moon is still inhabiting it.

* ProductionThrowback: One of the [[http://misspiesmonsters.tumblr.com/post/116073513987 things that Clarity cannot eat]] is Boulder, the star of one of the creator's other Ask Blogs (''[[http://bouldertoostrong.tumblr.com/ Ask Boulder]]'')
