* AlasPoorVillain: Xlestia occasionally. Especially in Website/SCPFoundation, where [[spoiler: the ''entire'' pony race is wiped out and Xlestia is left in an AndIMustScream state while the Foundation studies/experiments on her.]]
** Also, A.I. Celestia, who could only stand and watch as [[spoiler: Xlestia slings the sun at her]], before deciding to spend her last moments serving humanity after realizing there is no course of action to take.

* TheBadGuyWins: A few chapters end like this. This is usually when other villains pull an EvilerThanThou.
** Special note goes to the "Boss Rush" chapter, which involves ''every canon villain'' (at the time of writing) winning. The author then goes on to say that this is based on canon- despite the PhysicalGod nature of Xlestia that is usually ascribed to her, the canon version tends to lose once a season.
** The Warhammer 40k episode has Xlestia ''technically'' win, in that she assimilated every one of twelve billion humans on a hive world. The two flies in that ointment are that the Imperium is so vast that twelve billion humans ''really'' doesn't matter, and the planet (and all the ponies) are eaten by the Hive Fleets a few weeks later anyway.

** While Xlestia is dead by the end of the ''Transformers'' segment, the Barrier that's destroying humanity is self-sustaining and doesn't disappear when she dies. Furthermore, she manages to give Optimus Prime a HeroicBSOD by asking whether it's better for humanity to live on in the form of ponies or be wiped out as collateral damage of the Cybertronian Great War.

** In Warhammer 40K, the Imperium doesn't even notice the planet Celestia invaded, and Neo-Equestria gets gobbled up by a hive fleet a week later.
** Then there's the chapter when Xlestia transports Equestria to Neptune, per reader request. Not the Roman God, also known as Poseidon, but ''the planet.'' This is totally on accident. Half of Equestria aspyhxiates from lack of oxygen before Equestria is crushed by the atmospheric pressure.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Xlestia may be a racist and manipulative jerk, whose idea of "saving" humanity is giving them the choice of death or conversion, but even ''she's'' horrified that an [[FanFic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum alternate version of herself]] would lead the ponies into an open war with the humans.
** Less horrified, more frustrated that her alternate was so blatant in her takeover plans that it rendered her own, much more subtle takeover plan impossible.

** Xlestia abandons her plans once the Enterprise crew informs her that the humans had achieved Utopian society and went on to become a founding member of The United Federation of Planets. [[note]]They conveniently leave out the WorldWarIII and Vulcan intervention that lead to their perfect world, as well as the conflict with their colonies. "That was neither here nor there."[[/note]]

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: A Twofer when she shows up in the FanFic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum universe. For one, Xlestia is infuriated that the evil Equestria from that series basically ruined all her plans to infiltrate subtly by launching an all out invasion. Further, the ''good'' Equestria from that setting would certainly try to stop her as well. But the second main example is the ''confusion.'' There are ''four'' Twilight Sparkles trying to explain the history of the world, and Xlestia is just annoyed at her other selves for putting her in a situation so complex it gives her a migraine to understand.

* VillainCred: Megatron is impressed that Xlestia managed to ask Optimus Prime an ArmorPiercingQuestion that upset him enough to just leave, though it doesn't stop him from killing her because he already called dibs on taking over Earth.
--> "Magnificent performance you gave there. I was truly impressed. Not many can put one over on Prime."
