History Fanfic / ActuallyImDead

* AuthorAppeal: Wave Blaster likes to give nods to other franchises he is into. Most notably, VideoGame/MortalKombat and various ComicBooks, mainly Creator/DCComics.

--> ''Princess Celestia, the six elements, and the royal guards all stared at the Princess of the Night. Her crown was gone, her mane was disheveled from battle, one of her eyes had started to swell shut, and her right wing was not only bloody but obviously broken from how it hung limply at her side. Her other wing was missing a noticeable clump of feathers.''
--> '''Luna''': “Somepony, fetch Us a cider with which to celebrate Our victory!” Luna wiped her bloody chin upon her fetlock, sparing it a glance. “And perhaps a medic.”

* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of many chapters, the author and his partner Nightwalker have discussion with the characters. And later, the readers joined in on the fun.
* BreatherEpisode: Finale Destination part 1, is a very light hearted chapter-sans a few moments-, compared to the previous chapters.

* CoolPet: Trixie's Raven.

* DontFearTheReaper: After Trixie [[spoiler: dies for a second time]], she meets the reaper. But despite having a fitting look for such an entity, she turns out to be very friendly and does what she can, to comfort passing souls. [[spoiler: She is also, Trixie's mother.]]

* FromBadToWorse: Did you think Trixie being undead, would stop her body from decaying? That is not even getting into what happens in chapter 10 and up.

* TheGrimReaper: We get to see ''one of them'', who explains that there is a different grim reaper for every type of person, even the "Immortals". ("I image those two that think they are truly cursed with immortality, will be surprised too.") The reaper we meet is the one responsible for guiding travellers to the afterlife [[spoiler: and is revealed to be the reincarnation of Trixie's mother, after she passed.]]

* HumanoidAbomination: Trixie, after her transformation is described as looking like the physical embodiment of death and scared anypony that saw her.
* INeedADrink: Trixie, after coming across her old school. If only she could get drunk.

* LoopholeAbuse: After [[spoiler: Rainbow and Lightning Dust's tornado lead to Trixie's second "death"]] She uses the fact that she was technically ''already dead'' to get them off of the murder charge.

--> '''Luna''': "Tis a scratch."
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:The Grim Reaper of Travellers is not pleased with whatever forces all trying to take control over her daughter.]]
* MissingMom: Hope Lulamoon left Trixie on the steps of her old mentors in Neigh Orleans, when she was an infant. [[spoiler: She was busy becoming the new GrimReaper.]]
* MoodWhiplash: Trixie is both bonding with her new friends and [[spoiler: getting over her fear of heights]], as her and five out six of the Mane Six, ride their balloon to visit Rainbow Dash at the Wonderbolts Aca... Wait, is that a tornado? [[spoiler: This is followed immediately by Trixie having her second death and funeral. She gets better... well sort of.]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: After part of her [[spoiler: second revival involves giving her claws sharper than knives]], what does Trixie use them for? Slicing vegatbles.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: Trixie is an odd example, as the author apparently had no idea what a Lich was and was very surprised when his readers started bringing up that Trixie now bears a striking resemblance to one.

--> ‘’’Trixie’’’: To these days, Trixie still regrets looking at the mirror. Trixie should have never looked at the mirror. Trixie should have never took off the Alicorn Amulet-- No! Trixie should have never even touched the Alicorn amulet in the first place. Trixie should have stayed on the rock farm, for if she did so, she would be still alive, she would be still Trixie, instead of this... this...
* RealityEnsues: Unlike in the show, Rainbow and Light Dust's actions at the end of Wonderbolts academy, lead to them having to face trial for reckless endangerment and [[spoiler: accidentally causing Trixie's second death]]. And even after Spitfire takes the blame, they still have to face a military jury.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Trixie gives one to Rainbow Dash, after the latter refuses to leave her alone. Pointing out that they are NotSoDifferent and that one day, Rainbow will most likely have to deal with hecklers like herself. [[spoiler: This turns out to be a BatmanGambit on Rainbow's part, who had realized all this earlier and was trying to give Trixie her "fight" back.]]
* SharedUniverse: All of Wave Blaster's stories involving Trixie, use the same origin story.

** Wave Blaster makes several shout outs to Mortal Kombat-One of Trixie's mentors is "Kunai Tail"/Scorpion-throughout the story. [[spoiler: Most noteworthy: The battle between monster!Trixie and Luna, is reminiscent of the franchise's iconic bloody and brutal fighting style.]]

* SuicidalOverconfidence: Lightning Dust tries to pick a fight with Trixie, because they "both wanted it", after what happened earlier. This is after [[spoiler: Trixie's second revival]] and she now strong enough to take ''Luna'' on and hold her ground. It goes without saying, Lightning was cowering in fear before the fight even began. [[note]] The only reason she lived, was because Trixie stopped her super powered evil side in time. [[/note]]

** The Canterlot Court House, bears a strong resemblance to [[WesternAnimation//TheJusticeFriends a certain other hall of justice]].

** The Canterlot Court House, bears a strong resemblance to [[Main/TheJusticeFriends a certain other hall of justice]].

* [[WasOnceAMan Was Once A Pony]]: Trixie's attitude, after being brought back as something else.

Actually I'm Dead is My Little Pony FanFic, written by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Wave+Blaster Wave Blaster]] and co-written by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/nightwalker Nightwalker]], that takes place in alternate universe, where the ending of the season three episode "Magic Duel" takes a '''much''' more tragic twist. After losing the duel and the Alicorn Amulet, Trixie collapses and apparently dies, due to an unforeseen influence. But instead of staying dead, the Amulet turns her into... something else.

Somehow, her mind and soul stayed behind, but her body is dead and decaying. She has lost all of her senses, she cannot feel anything, and she no longer needs (or truly is capable of) eating or sleeping. She now looks like the embodiment of death and feels about as well. Most depressing of all, Celestia has had to use a restraining ring to cut off her magic to keep the Alicorn Amulet from corrupting her again. The ponies whose attention she used to crave, now look down on her with a mix of pity and fear, and nopony knows what to do.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Apparently, this is a tradition among Pegasy.
* [[HumanoidAbomination Ponyoid Abomination]]: Trixie, after her transformation is described as looking like the physical embodiment of death and scared anypony that saw her.

* AlienBlood: After dying, Trixie's blood turns black. [[spoiler: The blood test at the hospital, soon discovers that it ''is not blood'', but a strange liquefied DarkMagic, or "Necroplasm" that has replaced her bodily floods.]]
* AnimalisticAbomination: [[spoiler:After dying ''again'', Trixie comes back as an '''even worse''' monster, who apparently possess many feline features-including absurdly sharp claws-as well as reptilian features, and is now strong enough to fight Luna to a draw. Oh, and she has the power to appear even scarier.]]

Somehow, her mind and soul stayed behind, but her body is dead and decaying. She has lost all of her senses, she cannot feel anything, and she no longer needs (or truly is capable of,) eating or sleeping. She now looks like the embodiment of death and feels about as well. And most depressing of all, Celestia has had to use a restraining ring to cut off her precise magic, the ponies whose attention she used to crave, now look down on her with a mix of pity and fear, and nopony knows what to do.

With nowhere else to go, she is put in the custody of Twilight, while she and the Princesses desperately search for any possible cure. Now she must make peace with her past and present lives, while trying to find a reason to continue living (not that she could die), as more about both Trixie's past and Amulet's secrets are revealed.

--> '''Luna''': “Somepony, fetch Us a cider with which to celebrate Our victory!” Luna wiped her bloody chin upon her fetlock, sparing it a glance. “And perhaps a medic.”

** Trixie not being able to get drunk, is also kinda sort of inspired by the {{Film}}/CaptainAmerica movie.

Actually,I'm Dead provides examples of:----
