History YMMV / HarmonysWarriors

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Some readers were turned off by Twilight's icy attitude toward Cupcake and Carrot in ''X-Questrians'', something the author realized was a mistake, so he wrote in an explanation (stress over hunting Gustav and lack of sleep) and had her have a JerkassRealization.
** The {{Retcon}} that made the characters anthro has not been accepted by all the fans. This even led to much arguing among the ProductionPosse, eventually leading to the retcon being undone.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A mild one -- some readers were turned off by Twilight's icy attitude toward Cupcake and Carrot in ''X-Questrians'', something the author realized was a mistake, so he wrote in an explanation (stress over hunting Gustav and lack of sleep) and had her have a JerkassRealization.
* BrokenBase: The {{Retcon}} that made the characters anthro has not been accepted by all the fans. One fan even left the series ''entirely''. This even led to much arguing among the ProductionPosse, eventually leading to the retcon being undone.

* CrackPairing: Fans seem more than willing to accept [[spoiler: Fenrir/Pinkie Pie]] after the latter casually comments that the former has a sexy voice.
** The fact that she casually mentions a date (not saying with who) in the first chapter of the Longbox Anthology as she's telling her sister about the events of ''Soar'' doesn't really do much to dissuade the idea.
*** It's made canon in part 2 of that story when Lin uses a [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind Soul Gaze]] on Pinkie, and among other things sees an image of [[spoiler: Fenrir]] surrounded by cartoon hearts.
* HilariousInHindsight: ''Harmonys Warriors'' has Daring Do as a major character in ''Soar'', and Ahuizotl as a StarterVillain in ''Iron Mare'', some time before the season 4 episode [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont Daring Don’t]] revealed that they were [[RealAfterAll real beings]] in the main MLP:FIM verse as well!

** Rainbow Dash and Trixie being Thor and Loki respectively gets a lot funnier with the announcement of a ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendsForever Friends Forever]]'' issue focusing on the two of them.
*** The same applies to Zecora meeting Fluttershy in ''Flutterhulk'' when their issue is announced.

* JerkassWoobie: Trixie. She steals other ponies' husbands for her own pleasure (often without the husband's knowledge), she treats her servants badly and also has a constant antagonistic relationship towards Spitfire. She's also been unknowingly living a lie for her entire life, and seems to have suffered [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil various other wrongs]] in her past. Of course, upon [[spoiler: the revelation she was adopted]], she promptly begins to plan [[spoiler: A FinalSolution with the complete and total genocide of the Changelings.]]

* TheWoobie: Fluttershy in ''Flutterhulk''. She was bullied a ''lot'' as a filly, her father's well meaning attempts to help her led to her condition (as well as his death), she cannot yet control herself in her "New Fluttershy" form, feels guilty when she hurts somepony in that state, and she's being chased by a GeneralRipper version of Iron Will that wants to catch her solely to soothe his own ego.

* CompleteMonster: Gustav le Shaw, full stop. He not only gives Carrot Cake [[HopeSpot false hope]] right before killing his mother right in front of him purely ForTheEvulz, but he also goes on torture and experiment on him for years (apparently along with others as well). In fact, WordOfGod says that he only seeks power purely so he can use it to hurt others.

** Diamond Tiara in ''Spider-Colt'' is still rather bitchy, but is also shown to be [[Main/BlessedWithSuck suffering from]] [[Main/PowerIncontinence uncontrolled]] [[Main/AMindIsATerribleThingToRead psychic powers]] and crystals inexplicably appearing over her body. Suffice to say she doesn't take it well.
