--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' He shows up while I’m fighting like a hundred or so mooks and when he opened up the doors, there was a moment where you could have heard a pin drop. I swear to Princess Celestia, it was that quiet. A mouse fart would have been deafening. But he locks the doors behind him and everypony just kinda stopped to reconsider their next move.

* AdultFear: Trixie doesn't want young Sumac to participate in Stiff Upper Lip activities because of the immense dangers involved, as shown with Rainbow Dash coming back with nasty injuries [[spoiler:from taking down the owner of a sweatshop]].
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Trixie pats Sumac's head in a "Good job" manner, after hearing some of his other gadgets worked.
* BadSamaritan: [[spoiler:Apple Brown Betty ran an immigration racket; she got Equestrian immigrants to work for her by luring them with promises before saddling with huge debts to ensure their compliance]].
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: {{Pun}} aside, it's averted as most of the story has Rainbow Dash getting her many injuries and burns [[spoiler:from nearly getting roasted alive by Apple Brown Betty]] patched up. Being a ProudBeauty, Rainbow worries about having her looks diminished in the long term.
* BlackSheep: Apple Brown Betty joins the ranks of the Flim-Flam brothers and Fink Apple [[spoiler:by owning a sweatshop and running an immigration racket that leaves Equestrian immigrants working for her to fulfill debts that could never be paid]].
* EvilOldFolks: Sumac mentioned that Apple Brown Betty was his father's mother's sister. [[spoiler:She also ran a sweatshop and exploited the immigrants working there]].
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash's mask caught fire when Apple Brown Betty tried roasting her alive, causing her eyelid to burn slightly. She had to wear an eyepatch to cover the burns]].
* GadgeteerGenius: Sumac is responsible for Rainbow Dash's weaponry, such as her stink bombs. When he couldn't be a KidSidekick on the field due to danger, he settles on being Rainbow Dash's gadgeteer instead.
* HollywoodHealing: ''Averted''. As with many examples in the Weedverse, the healing process applied to Rainbow's many injuries is manual and not a smooth one. Rarity even had to apply ice numbing sprays to some of the nastier injuries before she could stitch them up properly.
* KidSidekick: Sumac wants to be this for Rainbow Dash [[spoiler:which is why he signed up for Stiff Upper Lip]]. Rainbow herself is keen on the idea, but [[MamaBear Trixie]] is against it. She is calmed somewhat when Rainbow decides to have Sumac be her gadgeteer instead.
* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:Apple Brown Betty tried killing Rainbow Dash by dousing her with fire. It doesn't work, as Rainbow Dash survives and Tarnish shatters Apple Brown Betty's spine in retaliation]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Tarnish permanently cripples Apple Brown Betty by shattering her spine after she tried setting Rainbow Dash on fire. Considering her other crimes of running a sweatshop and exploiting immigrant workers, it's hard to feel sorry for her, though Sumac felt conflicted over what to feel]].



* PayEvilUntoEvil: Tarnish does this to Brown Betty, permanently crippling her by shattering her spine.
* ProudBeauty: Rainbow Dash worries about the long-term repercussions of her injuries and how they might affect her overall appearance, because she hates the thought of not being a beautiful pegasus anymore.

to:

* NonFatalExplosions: Subverted. Sumac's stink bombs did cause a lot of goons to throw up, but Rainbow mentions that having her suit and mask on was what protected her from getting affected, too.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Tarnish [[spoiler:Tarnish does this to Apple Brown Betty, Betty for burning Rainbow Dash, by permanently crippling her by shattering her spine.
spine]].
* ProudBeauty: Rainbow Dash worries about the long-term repercussions of her injuries and how they might affect her overall appearance, because she hates the thought of not being a beautiful pegasus mare anymore.



* SpySpeak: Rainbow's recalling of her day with Tarnish is all spoken in metaphors and codenames, mainly because little Sumac is there listening to the conversation. For example, the heroes have superhero codenames (i.e. Tarnish is "Captain Equestria"), and Brown Betty Apple's sweatshop is referred to as the "Secret Sweatshop of Shame".

For example, the heroes have superhero certain people are given codenames (i.e. Tarnish is "Captain Equestria"), and Equestria", Apple Brown Betty Apple's is "Sweaty Brown Betty), and Apple Brown Betty's sweatshop is referred to as the "Secret Sweatshop of Shame".Shame".
* {{Squick}}: In-universe; this is Trixie's reaction to Rainbow Dash's description of what Sumac's stink bombs did to the mooks she was fighting, as well as why she got an eyepatch on one of her eyes. It's to the point where Trixie attempted BrainBleach on herself by shaking her head.
* StinkBomb: Sumac's creation, which Rainbow Dash used against a group of mooks. The stench from them was so powerful that it caused anyone not wearing masks to vomit all over the floor.
* StunnedSilence: The group of mooks Rainbow was fighting [[MassOhCrap went silent]] as soon as Tarnish showed up. It was so quiet that "[a] mouse fart would have been deafening."
* WhyCantIHateYou: Sumac is conflicted over his feelings regarding Apple Brown Betty [[spoiler:and her crimes of immigrant exploitation and owning a sweatshop]]; he wanted to feel glad that [[spoiler:Tarnish shattered her spine and crippled her]], but at the same time he felt bad for her.
--> '''Trixie Lulamoon:''' Kiddo, family is complicated.

''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/418529/mare-do-well Mare Do Well]]'' is a short entry in ''FanFic/TheWeedverse'', written by Kudzuhaiku.

Rainbow Dash, a heroic pegasus mare, comes back to her friends badly injured from yet another day of crime-fighting with her partner, Tarnished Teapot. Fortunately, her friends include a few mares who are well to do.
----
!!Mare Do Well contains examples of:
* MamaBear: Trixie is not happy with the prospect of young Sumac getting involved with Rainbow and Tarnish's heroics, and for good reason. Eventually, she settles with Sumac being their gadgeteer since it's out of the line of fire.
* MassOhCrap: Rainbow Dash is fighting a bunch of "mooks" working for Brown Betty, when [[TheDreaded Tarnished Teapot]] enters the room. As Rainbow put it:
--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' He shows up while I’m fighting like a hundred or so mooks and when he opened up the doors, there was a moment where you could have heard a pin drop. I swear to Princess Celestia, it was that quiet. A mouse fart would have been deafening. But he locks the doors behind him and everypony just kinda stopped to reconsider their next move.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Tarnish does this to Brown Betty, permanently crippling her by shattering her spine.
* ProudBeauty: Rainbow Dash worries about the long-term repercussions of her injuries and how they might affect her overall appearance, because she hates the thought of not being a beautiful pegasus anymore.
* SecretUndergroundPassage: The "well" Rainbow enters actually hides a staircase that leads to an underground chamber. It was built by members of House Lulamoon during the Equestrian Civil War, so peasants could have a way to hide from the Separatist army. Here, Rainbow Dash and her friends use it to regroup, discuss, and recuperate.
* SpySpeak: Rainbow's recalling of her day with Tarnish is all spoken in metaphors and codenames, mainly because little Sumac is there listening to the conversation. For example, the heroes have superhero codenames (i.e. Tarnish is "Captain Equestria"), and Brown Betty Apple's sweatshop is referred to as the "Secret Sweatshop of Shame".
