* NightmareFuel: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] during "Rainbow Factory"'s chorus:
-->"In the [[TitleDrop Rainbow Factory]], where your fears and horrors come true..."
** Also invoked during "Nightmare Night" featuring Mic the Microphone. It IS analogous to Halloween after all...
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNfJqubacxI Prototype]]" is narrated by a person who is being slowly turned into a robot throughout the song. The lyrics, arrangement, and vocal production style have a vaguely ominous style and the whole thing is reminiscent of ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}.'' And the speaker ''likes it.'' To drive home the point further, Glaze's vocals become more and more robotic as the song goes on; at one point, a [=GLaDOS-esque=] "update complete" can be heard followed by Glaze's voice changing ''immediately.''

One day, a man from the United Kingdom got together some money, bought FL Studio, and created a song. That song, "Rainbow Factory", turned the [[SugarBowl sugary paradise]] of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic's]]'' floating city of Cloudsdale into one of the darkest [[TownWithADarkSecret towns with a dark secret]], by making up the explanation that the rainbows we see in Cloudsdale's factories in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom Sonic Rainboom]]'' are made from liquefied Pegasi. [[BreakthroughHit The song skyrocketed him to popularity]], spawned its own [[FanFic/RainbowFactory fanfiction]], and made [=WoodenToaster=]--or, as he likes to call himself, Glaze--one of the premier musical artists of the Bronydom's GoldenAge.

He also contributed to the short-lived group [=TwentyTen=], alongside Music/TheLivingTombstone, Mic the Microphone, and [=IBringDaLulz=], with occasional [[SixthRanger Fifth Ranger]] [=IBeConCept=], and, as mentioned before, was one of the big names of the fandom's GoldenAge.

Nowadays he's moved on from the grim and dark sectors of music, making songs lighter or more happy than his previous work, but he's still remembered best for "Rainbow Factory", with its trademark sounds and [[EarWorm insane catchiness]]. Unfortunately, he's also well-known for having one of the worst cases of ScheduleSlip in the history of the fandom, sometimes taking upwards of two years to finish a song and upload it to his [[https://www.youtube.com/user/WoodenToaster YouTube channel]] (for comparison, an artist like [[Music/{{Deadmau5}} deadmau5]] or Music/{{Aviators}} would have at least an EP and an Album released in that timeframe). He's a bit more active on [[http://wooden-toaster.tumblr.com Tumblr account]], where he's known as "Twigi[[note]]Twigileia, one of his real-life friends[[/note]]'s big idiot" and talks about his life in Great Britain and other such things, but like his aforementioned Website/YouTube account, it suffers from ScheduleSlip as well.

[[UnsettlingGenderReveal And before you ask, yes, his OC (also named Wooden Toaster), is female]].

In the fandom he is revered as one of the four members of [=TwentyTen=], alongside Music/TheLivingTombstone, Mic the Microphone, and [=IBringDaLulz=], with occasional [[SixthRanger Fifth Ranger]] [=IBeABronyRapper=], and, as mentioned before, was one of the big names of the fandom's GoldenAge.

* LighterAndSofter: His later songs mostly had lighter and more heartwarming lyrical themes, along with more cheerful-sounding arrangements, with the exception of the cyberpunk-tinged "Prototype."

->"In the FanFic/RainbowFactory... where your fears and horrors come true... In the Rainbow Factory... where not a single soul gets through..."
-->--"'''Rainbow Factory'''"

* UnexpectedCharacter: [[NierAutomata Kira Buckland]] (aka "Rina-Chan") provided guest vocals on he and TheLivingTombstone's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3kSPHcjN34 Lost on the Moon.]]"

->"In the FanFic/RainbowFactory... [[NightmareFuel where your fears and horrors come true]]... In the [[TownWithADarkSecret Rainbow Factory]]... [[HumanResources where not a single soul gets through]]..."

[[UnsettlingGenderReveal And before you ask, yes, his OC, Glaze, is female]].

* BadassAdorable: Glaze (the OC). She is legitimately ''adorable'', ''especially'' as a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter breezie or mothpony]], but make no mistake that she is still capable of [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom sending you six ways to Sunday]] if you agitate her. And that's not taking into account her [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Batpony persona]].

* ViewerGenderConfusion: His pony character is female.

* ScheduleSlip: He's infamous for this when it comes to releasing songs.

* NecessaryEvil: The Rainbow Factory's use of [[HumanResources equine resources]] is treated as this in "Rainbow Factory". H8_Seed's character in "Awoken" doesn't buy into it.

* ScheduleSlip: '''GOOD LORD.''' A fandom in-joke says that by the time he's ready to get to work on a new song, several years have passed.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: "Rainbow Factory" gives a whole ''city'' this treatment (to say nothing of [[FanFic/RainbowFactory the fanfiction]]).

* EvilIsSexy: Glaze (the OC) in her Batpony persona, and in her normal pony persona during "Rainbow Factory".

* EvenEvilHasStandards: It's implied that Pre-HeelFaceTurn H8_Seed's character in "Awoken" was appalled by what went on the Factory.
