History Fanfic / MyLittleEarthHumansAreSpecial

** Also in chapter six, Twilight buys out of all things MickFoley's autobiography [[http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/have-a-nice-day-mick-foley/1111664426?ean=9780061031014 Have A Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks]].

** The second human made video game Twilight tries is Franchise/StarCraft.

* ShownTheirWork: InUniverse. While playing SidMeiersPirates, Twilight is impressed on how accurate it is to actual pirating.

'''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/41577/my-little-earth-humans-are-special My Little Earth: Humans Are Special]]''' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic written by [[https://www.fimfiction.net/user/Skyler+Walker Skyler Walker]] in which Twilight Sparkle screws up a spell, ends up in someone's pool, transformed into a human, and is now living with a human by the name of Kyle West until she figures out a way home.

** Emperor Hannibal Steelclaw, Emperor Imperious Steelclaw, and Gore Howl, the griffin who was responsible for the genocide of the Snowcap Clan, are mentioned as expies of JosefStalin.

* CanucksWithChinooks:
** Kyle's father was in the Canadian military and as a result him and Kyle moved around Canada a lot.
** One of Kyle's customers is a Sergeant in the Military.

* WorldWarI: Twilight gives background info on WWI in her letter to Celestia in chapter eight.
* WorldWarII: Twilight is more interested in WWII than any other "major war" due to how much it affected life, the technology involved, and the casualties. She eventually studies it in depth in chapter eight and well... [[HeroicBSOD her reaction to certain events wasn't good]].

* CoolAirship: Equestrian pirates travel via airships instead of [[CoolBoat wooden ships]]. Twilight compares them to the ones in FinalFantasy.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Averted. Twilight knows how low humans can go but knows that the amount of good humans outnumber the bad ones plus she is aware of pony equivalents of well known bad humans such as Fevered Speech, a pony expy of AdolfHitler.

** Fevered Speech is one to AdolfHitler. He is responsible for the latest Equestrian (as in 250 years ago) war known as the "Uprising War" where Fevered had convinced (i.e brainwashed) unicorns that they were the superior race and to make Spurlin a unicorn only state and clear out the Earth Ponies and Pegasi. He's a Hitler expy, you can probably guess what is meant by [[KillEmAll clear out]].

** There was a period in Equestrian history where mares looked down on stallions. It's like sexism but in reverse.

** In chapter four, Twilight tries a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_%28Canada%29 A&W]] Mama Burger.

* GoingNative: Twilight gets more into the human culture as part of her research, even eating a A&W Mama burger.

* BerserkButton: Do not make a sexual remark about Big Macintosh with Applejack nearby. A pegasi mare named Speed Wing nearly learned that the hard way.

* CoolAirship: Equestrian pirates travel via airships instead of [[CoolBoat wooden ships]]. Twilight compares them to the only in the FinalFantasy games.

* GreatOffscreenWar: The Pony-Griffin War, the Separation Wars, and the Uprising War. The last one being the pony version of the Holocaust and the bloodiest two months in Equestria's history.

* HumansAreSpecial: As she researches more and more on humans, Twilight starts to think this primarily because of human technology and the fact of how much they have evolved. Hell, its right there in the title.

* FantasticRacism: Fevered Speech, a unicorn believed that Earth ponies and Pegasi were inferior.

* InterspeciesRomance: Averted. WordOfGod said that he has no plans on Twilight and Kyle's relationship to go anything past platonic.

** Aunt Polly is mentioned as being one.

** Emperor Hannibal Steelclaw, Emperor Imperious Steelclaw, and Gore Howl, the pony who was responsible for the genocide of the Snowcap Clan, are mentioned as expies of JosefStalin.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Fevered Speech.

* YourNormalIsOurTaboo: Monogamous relationships and clothes are considered anti-social and for nobles only respectively in Equestria.

* {{Squee}}: Twilight emits an adorable one when she learns of the internet, {{Wikipedia}}, and {{Google}}.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Unicorns who listen to Fevered Speech's uhh speeches would become soldiers fighting for his cause as his special talent was speech infused magic which was basically brainwashing.

** Kyle owns an ACDC shirt (which Twilight confuses for an electrical current).

** In chapter eight, Twilight mentions how Minotaurs have a "death before dishonor" viewpoint but not to the extreme such as WWII era Japanese soldiers.

But while she is in the human world, Twilight decides to study the human culture and as is turns out the Human culture is actually similar from not only the Ponies but other races of Equestria. Over time Twilight adapts to her situation, and learns more about the good, the bad, and the downright awful about our world.

* AlternateUniverse: WordOfGod confirmed more than once that the earth Twilight ended up on is th same as ours, except that WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic was never made.

** WordOfGod confirmed the "herd" relationships were inspired by Fanfic/Xenophilia.

* ValuesDissonance: {{Discussed}} in Twilight's first letter to Celestia about the humans, using diets as an example.
