History FanFic / ItMustBeTuesday

* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite all he's seen, the LW still doesn't believe in magic. He even lampshades that it's slightly ridiculous he feels this way while he's getting a physical from talking unicorns.

* AceCustom: The LW's PowerArmor has been modified with over ten years of experimentation at Big MT, and his plasma rifle has had all manner of tech modded into it. Of course, his PowerArmor then loses its force field generator and his plasma rifle gets totalled when he crash lands...

* CompanionCube: The Stealth Suit Mk2 [[spoiler: was one until it got scrunched by a Deathclaw.]]

* BagOfSpilling: Modified power armor, Stealth Suit mk2, minigun, Novasurge, plasma rifle and Cosmic Deathclaw knife. To any player, this is practically an endgame armament, enough to bulldoze anything in your path. The Wanderer loses nearly all of them after he crash lands in Equestria.

->''"Well, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday it ''was'' Tuesday]]. [[SeenItAll Figures]]."''

* {{Badass}}: The Lone Wanderer of course. Taken UpToEleven with the fact that he also took the Courier's place. Luna, Applejack and Twilight get in on this too.
** BackToBackBadasses: Luna and Isaac team up to protect the Mane Six from aliens. Isaac ALMOST misses his shots due to how impressed he is with her.
** BadassBookworm: Twilight is this. The LW is also quite smart.
** EmpoweredBadassNormal: The LW, a kid in a Vault. Now a messianic cyborg who heals faster in sunlight, is resistant to radiation, has night vision and is recognized as one of the most badass people in the Mojave and Capital Wastelands.
** HeartbrokenBadass: The Lone Wanderer really is alone now, [[spoiler: having lost his companions... even Dogmeat. And in the middle of the story, he loses the stealth suit too.]] Really shown in the hospital scenes, when he has nothing to do but brood over his past.

* NightmareSequence: Poor LW. He has these nearly every time he goes to sleep. [[spoiler:He nearly lost it when he first saw Celestia since being crowded by all the scientists reminded him of being on the operating table in the Zeta. He's even traumatized by the party cannon.]]

* TheAce: The LW. A combat master, scientific, mechanical and cultural genius, charismatic speaker and TheMessiah...

* LonelyAtTheTop: Though both DC and the Mojave love him for all the good he's done for them, Isaac has [[spoiler: lost his closest companions already]] . Gets worse as he [[spoiler: loses the Stealth Suit ]] in chapter five, and has nothing to do while recovering from his wounds but remember the past.
* TheMessiah: The Lone Wanderer does his best to help people, and Three Dog certainly calls him one. This line in the alien ship seals it.
--> "He was the type to help ''everyone''. Those abominations were going to kill ''no one''."

-> "Well, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday it ''was'' Tuesday]]. [[SeenItAll Figures]].
-> -The Lone Wanderer, commenting on fighting abominations alongside a sapient [[BuffySpeak winged-unicorn thing]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Twilight feels horrible about using her magic to disintegrate the abominations... she would have been horrified if she learned that she nearly killed their savior.]]
** [[spoiler: She has yet another round of this when she learns that the abominations used to be humans.]]
** [[spoiler: Pinkie also has this when she scares the LW due to her party cannon.]]
