* DeliberateValuesDissonance: When the ponies are from a SugarBowl and Thomas is from...[[CrapsackWorld Fallout]], there has to be. Indeed, much of the early story consists of both Thomas ''and'' the Mane 6 being thrown for a loop by their mutually opposed sensibilities (i.e., Thomas' PayEvilUntoEvil mentality is just as jarring to the ponies as their abhorrence of violence is to him.)
