8!!This fanfic contains examples of:
9* AsYouKnow: The rules of the Court are explained to Flapjack during her petition, despite the fact she's already been told them. This is justified in-universe by her being very, very scared and not having remembered.
10* BookDumb: Flapjack, due to being uneducated. {{Justified}}, as the story is about her coming to petition for more resources for her school.
11* ContinuityNod: The Court is named after the argument between Celestia and Luna in FanFic/ThePerilousRomanceOfSwans, and Gosling's [[TakeAThirdOption Third Option]].
12* FantasticRacism: The Exchequer agent mentioned believes that earth ponies don't need an education.
13* FrivolousLawsuit: Acknowledged as a potential problem, but Gosling has explicitly made rules against it, and the case shown is not one of these.
14* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: The Cookie Court is a deliberate attempt to [[{{Invoked}} Invoke]] this by Gosling, as well as to get the foal's confidence early, rather than letting them grow up jaded.
15* ItWillNeverCatchOn: Although we only see the first session of the Court, that session is a success, and it's implied that it will continue, despite the derision of the newspapers.
16* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The problem that Flapjack has come to talk about, with a side of FantasticRacism, her school is not getting the resources it needs because the Exchequer agent won't pay them the money he should.
17* RightOnQueue: The lines for the first day of the Cookie Court are apparently extensive.
18%%* SuckySchool: Flapjack's school, due to a [[FantasticRacism tribalist]] ObstructiveBureaucrat blocking funding.
19* ThatWasntARequest: The response, should the Exchequer Agent refuse his royal audience.
