History Fanfic / AllThatShimmers

* MythologyGag: According to Chapter 10, Vice Principal Luna got jealous of Celestia because she didn't have much to do during the day, so she tried to force the students to take after-school activities. In response to this, Celestia sent Luna on a vacation to "Space Camp" for "1,000 hours". All of this is a clear parallel to Princess Celestia and Luna's relationship in Equestria, and Luna's banishment to the moon for 1,000 years.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pinkie accidentally hits Fluttershy with a brick, giving the girl a concussion, while trying to help Sunset clean up the school entrance with the rest of the Humane Five. Naturally, the rumor mill thinks Sunset did it.

* CerebusRollercoaster: The story generally has a somewhat serious tone, with the narrative occasionally bouncing between the [[WidgetSeries bizarre comedy]] situations that makes up most of the writer's work and the angst of a character who is dealing with the aftermath of becoming a literal uncontrollable she-demon.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Humane Five try to help Sunset clean up the school entrance, bursting into song as they do so, like they did when cleaning up the gym... only for Pinkie to accidentally hit Fluttershy with a brick, giving her a concussion and forcing the group to take her to the nurse's office.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Though Sunset may have been EasilyForgiven by the Humane Five, the rest of the school still holds a bit of a grudge over the years of manipulation and bullying she's done, to say nothing of the attempted demonic mind control. Her first day back at school has her immediately attacked by Gilda in the bathroom.
** The Humane Five try to help Sunset clean up the school entrance, bursting into song as they do so, like they did when cleaning up the gym... only for Pinkie to accidentally hit Fluttershy with a brick, giving her a concussion and forcing the group to take her to the nurse's office.
** When checking to see if Fluttershy has a concussion, Sunset mentions how the fingers trick isn't how you check for concussions, and that an athlete like Rainbow Dash should probably know that.
** When Sunset hears about how much sugar Pinkie eats, she tells Pinkie to remind her to show the party planner ''something'' about the dangers of Type-2 diabetes.
** Principal Celestia only made Sunset, Snips and Snails clean up the entrance after the climax of the film to make it clear to the other students that they were being punished, and that she'd arranged an actual team of contractors to handle the repairs. When questioned, she points out that teenagers aren't ''remotely'' qualified for the task, as construction work is a lot more difficult than cleaning up a trashed gym.
** When the Humane Five reveal that they found the human version of Twilight, Sunset points out that running up to someone and trying to become friends with them because you know an alternate version of them is both weird and a very bad idea.

Sunset Shimmer is having a bad night. She turned into a demon, was forcefully turned back, and now has to deal with all the people she's wronged in the past. As luck would have it, it seems like her demon self isn't done with her, either.

* DramaticIrony: Sunset assumes that Twilight Sparkle grew up with a lot of friends, being Celestia’s student and all. We all know that she couldn't be ''farther'' from the truth.

In retrospect, she’s forced to admit that she and her former mentor would probably have just ended up fighting it out.

* AndIMustScream: When Sunset was in her demon form, she was ''not'' enjoying it. She describes it as being forced to look at her worst moments, a la ''Film/AClockworkOrange''. She’s rather miffed when she learns that Snips and Snails apparently liked the experience.

* DramaticIrony: At one point, Sunset assumes that Twilight had lots of friends, being Celestia’s student and all. WE all know that she couldn't be ''farther'' from the truth.

* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Sunset has dreamt up theoretical ways to do this to pretty much everyone. Apparently she thinks it goes hand in hand with being human.

** Though Sunset may have been EasilyForgiven by the Humane Five, the rest of the school still holds a bit of a grudge, and she's actually attacked by Gilda in the bathroom.

** Celestia only made Sunset, Snips and Snails clean up the entrance after the climax of the film to make it clear that they were being punished. As what happened with Fluttershy shows, not only is the task potentially dangerous, they aren't ''remotely'' qualified for the task, as it's a lot more difficult than cleaning up a trashed gym.

* ShoutOut: Sunset is a fan of Film/AClockworkOrange, and describes being a demon as reminiscent of the film.
** Pinkie Pie keeps mentioning a [[Videogame/DiabloIII bonesaber]] in chapter 10.
** In the chapter where Sunset, Snips, and Snails go on a bus, Snips and Snails play [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresHowISpentMyVacation Spot the Car]], and the dialogue is quite similar to that particular scene in the film.

* WhamEpisode: In Running the Other Direction, the group is at the library looking for Twilight's human version, only to find a room that has the windows ''completely'' covered by what looks like blood, and in the next chapter Rainbow Dash and AJ stay behind to keep what appear to be demons from following the others, and when the others get outside they find themselves in the same landscape Sunset's been facing her demonic self in.
** The next chapter has the demons capturing the rest of the Humane Five, and has Sunset relapse into demon mode and apparently kill their leader Ba'al, and then another demon appears at Sunset's home when she's trying to do a ritual to deal with her demon side.
