History FanFic / TheWeedverse

* BlackSheep: In the Apple family, brothers Flim and Flam are an obvious case, with Flam playing a prominent villainous role in ''Princess Twilight Sparkle's School for Fantastic Foals''. There's also Fink Apple, a two-bit scoundrel Holly roughs up in ''M.F.D'', and in ''Mare Do Well'', Rainbow Dash mentioned taking down a Brown Betty Apple who ran a sweatshop.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Seville's name has confused many English-speaking readers, as it's a Spanish word, so the double ll is pronounced as in "tortilla" (like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6-c_FcobI4 this]]).

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Generally. Tarnish and Maud, Shining and Cadance, Gosling and his wives Celestia and Luna, Yam and Azure, Igneous and Cloudy and [[ReallyGetsAround Rainbow Dash]] have all had the health of their sex lives commented upon.

* BalefulPolymorph: Exposure to the Rainbow Of Darkness turns a pony into a dragon.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The original dragons are the result of [[BalefulPolymorph exposure to the Rainbow of Darkness]], with the resulting dragon depending on the type of creature exposed. The results on Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi are known, the results on other creatures are unknown, but several characters consider the possibility of Changeling dragons serious ParanoiaFuel, and Alicorns are theorised to mutate into Draconequui.[[invoked]] Silver dragons, though, are natural.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are several different Weedverse story threads, and very few have a single protagonist, rapidly leading into this. An incomplete list of protagonists is: [[WildMagic Tarnished Teapot]], [[TheStoic Maud Pie]], [[ElegantClassicalMusician Octavia Melody]], Vinyl Scratch, [[BadassNormal Gloomy August]], [[TheIllusionist Trixie Lulamoon]], [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Sumac Apple]], [[PintSizedPowerhouse Pebble Pie]], [[TheHighQueen Princess Celestia]], [[MrFanservice Gosling]], [[TokenHeroicOrc Stinkbug]], [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Celaeno]], [[PrivateDetective Yam Spade]], Azure Serape, Copperquick, [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Megara]], [[BadassBureaucrat Twilight Velvet]], Wormwood, Flicker Nicker, Piper Pie, Hennessey...

* Members of House Sparkle has names related to both the evening and light, such as ''Shining'' Armor, Night Light, ''Twilight'' Velvet, and Twilight Sparkle.

* RunningGag: The [[SeriousBusiness difference]] between [[SpotOfTea tea drinkers]] and [[MustHaveCaffeine coffee drinkers]] comes up periodically.

* WitchSpecies: CatFolk appear to be this, with all known examples[[note]][[VainSorceress Catrina]] and the Jaguar Witch[[/note]] being mages, and the species as a whole having a reputation for powerful magic.

* ImmuneToFate: Anything {{Undead}} is beyond the power of the Ink, as their book finishes upon death. However, they're not beyond [[WeakenedByTheLight the power of the sun]].

* ''FanFic/{{MFD}}:'' (Ongoing) Holly Heartwood decides to settle down in Manehattan, and tries to get a job at the historic fire department nearby.

* {{Familiar}}: Several powerful mages have one - getting shared feelings, enhanced senses, an extended lifespan for the animals, and maybe have other effects. Tiberius is now closer to {{Undead}} than alive. The magic is poorly understood, and theorised to be part of Friendship magic.

* HollywoodHealing: {{Averted}}. [[RealityEnsues Injuries gained take a realistic time to heal, and in some cases, this means they don't heal at all without magical intervention]].

** Arcturus, Dandy Lion's father and Trixie's grandfather, was psychologically abusive. He saw his daughter as a way to continue the Lulamoon line and constantly pressured her to have foals. Because Dandy Lion was asexual, this led to her attempt suicide more than once. Although he's dead, the long-lasting consequences of his behavior remains.

* AllAbusersAreMale: Discussed in ''FanFic/SpringBroke''. Since Equestria is a (very) loosely matriarchal society, with more mares in positions of power than stallions, there exists a social stigma in which stallions are generally seen as incompetent caretakers on their own, and need a mare's hoof to properly guide them in raising the foals. This to the point where the legal system only has social services for single mothers (even if it's severely out of date), yet none that support single fathers. In addition, any stallion seen alone with a child is regarded with great suspicion. For genuinely good fathers like Copperquick, this trope is seen as a problem since not only is it a grave misinformation, it is also damaging in almost every aspect of life (medical, financial, etc.). In Copperquick's case, he has to deal with people insisting he's a poor parent and he should let the birth mother take care of his infant daughter, Esmeralda Verde; never mind that said birth mother was responsible for multiple accounts of abuse and neglect that led to Esmeralda growing up underdeveloped and full of psychological issues. Even mares such as Buttermilk Oddbody and Twilight Velvet sees this view as degrading.
