History NightmareFuel / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSeason6

* Gladmane snarling at Flim when Flam suggests "Impossibly Rich" could buy off any pony. It's the first time we see Gladmane actually snap at anybody, despite how other ponies call him "[[VillainWithGoodPublicity kind, gentle, friendly, and compassionate]]". Well, [[SarcasmMode he doesn't look it now]].

* Big Mac would almost certainly consider Starlight's spell to force him to talk to be Nightmare Fuel, given him running off and screaming to "Make it stop!"

*** Though said writer also noted that while Trixie didn't ''intend'' to die, she certainly ''could'' have if something had gone wrong..

* The fact that, [[spoiler: Chrysalis [[VillainExitStageLeft flies away at the end]]. No redemption like Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Starlight (though Starlight ran away in the Season 5 premier, she returned and reformed in the same season), [[KarmaHoudini no death like Sombra]], and no likely-permanent imprisonment and/or de-powerment like Tirek. The best that can be said is that she lost her kingdom and her entire army, who reformed and now follow Thorax, but this doesn't change the fact that Chrysalis is still at large and can still take the form of anypony else. All she has to do is trick one pony (or changeling), take his or her place, and feed off enough love before she might be powerful enough to exact revenge on Starlight.]] Speaking of, [[spoiler: her swearing vengeance on Starlight sounded quite vivid, and the fact that she said [[ImpliedDeathThreat "There is no revenge you can ever conceive of that will come close to what I will exact upon you"]] to a pony who once ''altered time so the villains were in power'' as part of a revenge plan means she has something truly horrible in mind. If this wasn't a kid-friendly show, it would be conceivable that she would exact her revenge, and if the show ends before she returns, it can be assumed that she eventually does ([[FridgeHorror possibly explaining Starlight's apparent absence from the movie until further details come up]]). It is likely all of Equestria will be up in arms and on their guard for Chrysalis (much like in "The Times They Are A Changeling") until she is either destroyed or reformed (since imprisoning her will be nearly impossible due to her shapeshifting powers), which may happen in Season 7, but the younger kids might not get that and have nightmares about her getting her revenge until such a time as her final defeat comes.]]

* Torch wasn't joking about the Gauntlet's dangers. The traps he set up there would have been lethal to anything that wasn't a dragon and even then, the dragons are hanging on to their lives. Good thing Twilight and Rarity are capable of (possibly literal) OffscreenTeleportation, huh?

* Filthy Rich threatening with finishing the contract with Sweet Apple Acres scared Applejack well enough for her to start with the cycle of lies that almost got her brother's leg amputated.

** This is made worse by the fact that the changelings are insects and thus Chrysalis is an insect queen. She could possibly be back to a full army, albeit a bit smaller, in not too long.
*** In addition to that, there are still all the unreformed changelings who replaced the Mane Six and all the others throughout Equestria. Quite the ParanoiaFuel if you think about it.

* What could've made the situation even more tense and scary is if the Crystal Guards had been armed (with Spears at least) and threatened Thorax by drawing their weapons at him.

** Hell, Queen Chrysalis in general. For example, she tosses Starlight around like a rag doll (and she couldn't even fight back because of [[PowerNullifier non-Changeling magic being nullified]]) and mercilessly holds Thorax up in the air as she [[EmotionEater drains him of his love]].

** Then there's the thought of what Chrysalis would do to them once she had conquered Equestria comes to mind: Be merciful and let them go, keep them in the cocoons for eternity, or worst-case scenario, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill them.]]

* Assuming this whole story is true and not just a fable on the importance of Hearth's Warming Eve, this means that the Windigos are still out there waiting.

** Just the idea that Changelings can drain love from ''each other''. It's bad enough that they eat love. The fact that they can take it from each other sounds close to ''cannibalism''.

* Chrysalis introduces herself to Starlight (actually Thorax in disguise) by crawling over the pods that held her captives, complete with AbnormalLimbRotationRange, her head turning around both horizontally and vertically, complete with what sounds like bones snapping.

* At one point, Zephyr starts hitting on Rainbow Dash. She is understandably disgusted by his advances and has to keep brushing him away.

** Zesty could be the food-version of Starlight Glimmer. Starlight took away other ponies' cutie marks and forced them to become "equal" under her control. Zesty forced the other restaurants to change themselves into having the same decor, waiters, and food, threatening to take away her three-hoofs ratings if they deviated from her opinions.

* Chrysalis, as the Queen of the Changelings, needed to notice a slip-up in Thorax's disguise to realize she was talking to another changeling. If she were to infiltrate the reformed changeling society, she could possibly have more love to drain than in the Crystal Empire, and no one would notice as they freely give out love and can generate more.

* This is probably the only time we've seen Discord truly pissed. It's both awesome and kinda scary at the same time as he wastes no time teleporting the group to the Changeling Hive. Had Chrysalis not had that throne who knows what he would have done to them.
