| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | |
| 19 | [[folder: Tropes present in multiple stories]] |
| 20 | * [[ActionGirl Action Mare]]: Most of the major cast members, except possibly [[TheOneGuy Braeburn]] (and Written Script, his rewrite replacement) and [[IJustWantToBeBadass Sweetie Belle]]. |
| 21 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed with Gilda, who in canon is a jerk, but in this universe is the counterpart to ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, and presumably an AntiHero. |
| 22 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Fancypants, one of the few pleasant inhabitants in Canterlot in canon, is presented as a CorruptCorporateExecutive BitchInSheepsClothing in ''Iron Mare''. |
| 23 | ** Canon Snowflake (Bulk Biceps in official canon) is a background character showing no signs of being a bad guy, but here is a BloodKnight with signs of mental instability (which only gets worse after taking the serum). |
| 24 | ** Cheerilee is the counterpart to the [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Lizard]]. |
| 25 | ** Carrot Cake, Pinkie's kind employer, and Fleur de Lis, like Fancypants one of the few pleasant Canterlot residents, are in the roles of prominent {{Anti Villain}}s ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and Mystique. |
| 26 | ** Canon Gustav is a kindly baker. Here, he's a sociopath with delusions of grandeur, who seeks power ForTheEvulz. |
| 27 | ** Canon Hoity Toity? A slightly snobby fashion critic. Harmony's Warriors Hoity Toity? [[ThoseWackyNazis Red Skull]]. |
| 28 | ** Filthy Rich is now the counterpart of Norman Osborn. |
| 29 | ** Beauty Brass in canon is a musician who makes the occasional cameo, here she's a member of Hydra, essentially taking the role of Zola. |
| 30 | * TheAgeless: Twilight and Shining Armor haven't aged at all in the years between ''Captain Equestria'' and the modern day-set stories, apparently because of a potion Twilight created. |
| 31 | ** Berry Punch, being [[spoiler: half-vampire]], doesn't age at all between ''Captain Equestria'' and her next canonical appearance in ''Spider-Colt''. |
| 32 | * AlternateUniverse: Where to begin: |
| 33 | ** All the characters were {{Funny Animal}}s, compared to the CivilizedAnimal style of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the original show]], due to a {{Retcon}} by Avenging-Hobbits. However, this was eventually retconned back due to widespread dislike of the change. |
| 34 | ** Rainbow Dash is Celestia's daughter and a highly skilled (and arrogant) warrior. |
| 35 | ** Applejack was born at least sixty years before any of the other cast (save Rainbow Dash, but she's a goddess so that doesn't really count) and Granny Smith is actually her older sister. |
| 36 | ** Fluttershy is a fugitive, constantly moving from place to place to hide her split personality. |
| 37 | ** Rarity... is still a fashion designer (although she lives in Canterlot instead of Ponyville and is a chain smoker). |
| 38 | *** The rewrite changes her a bit more by making her a tech genius and weapons designer. |
| 39 | ** Twilight, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie Pie's sisters are members of a top secret government agency, and Shining Armor is their boss. |
| 40 | ** The Alicorns and several other characters are gods living in another realm, implying that Equestria is ruled by someone else. |
| 41 | ** Iron Will is a General in the Equestrian army. |
| 42 | ** Daring Do is not only real in-universe (opposed to being a book character), but is Scootaloo's aunt. |
| 43 | ** Firefly is Scootaloo's mother and Daring's sister, and is an old friend of Fluttershy's. |
| 44 | ** Trixie is [[spoiler: a Changeling]], and was adopted by Celestia as an infant, raised with Rainbow Dash as siblings. |
| 45 | ** Speaking of, Thunderlane and Rumble are also Celestia's children, making them Rainbow Dash's older and younger brothers (respectively). |
| 46 | ** Cheerilee is a biochemist. |
| 47 | ** Snowflake is a soldier with mental issues. |
| 48 | ** Filthy Rich is the counterpart of Norman Osborn, Featherweight is his son (the counterpart of Harry), and Diamond Tiara is his daughter. She's also the verse's equivalent of Emma Frost. |
| 49 | ** Dinky is not only the pony version of Franklin Richards (though she isn't a mutant with RealityWarping powers here), she also incorporates aspects of both Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson. |
| 50 | ** Berry Punch is [[spoiler:Blade]]. |
| 51 | ** Cadence is Celestia and Luna's sister instead of their niece. Likewise, Sunset Shimmer is their older sister. |
| 52 | * AlternateUniverseFic: Of the Contextual Reassignment kind. |
| 53 | * ArcWelding: Between ''Captain Equestria'' and ''X-Questrians: First Class'' -- Gustav, the BigBad of ''X-Questrians'', is revealed in ''Captain Equestria'' to have been a member of HYDRA. And later, [[spoiler: Fleur]] is revealed to be the assassin who killed Professor Schultz. |
| 54 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Pinkie Pie, of course. Spike has learned to ignore it from working with her. |
| 55 | * CompositeCharacter: Cheerilee is set up to be [[spoiler: the Lizard]], but is also in the place of Sterns/the Leader as the scientist Fluttershy goes to get help from. |
| 56 | ** Snowflake is in the role of Blonsky/Abomination, but upon his transformation becomes the ComicBook/RedHulk. |
| 57 | ** Chrysalis is in the role of Laufey in ''Soar'', but by the end of the story [[spoiler: she's essentially become the Skrull Queen]]. |
| 58 | ** Due to her dual personalities, Pinkie is both Hawkeye (as herself) and Bullseye (as Pinkamena). |
| 59 | ** Dinky is Franklin Richards, though she also has aspects of both Gwen and Mary Jane. She also has the [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleportation powers]] of X-Men's Blink. |
| 60 | ** Diamond Tiara isn't just an AlphaBitch, like several that have appeared in Spider-Man, she's also Emma Frost. |
| 61 | ** According to {{Word Of God}}, Nightmare Moon will be a combination of ComicBook/{{Thanos}} and {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} {Due to this universe also incorporating DC elements into it}, and Lighting Dust will be both ComicBook/ThePunisher and [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Valkyrie]].]] |
| 62 | * {{Disappeared Dad}}s: Rather common so far, with the exception of Cupcake in ''X-Questrians: First Class'' and Rarity in ''Iron Mare''. Examples are listed in the folders below. |
| 63 | * FantasticRacism: Mainly between Unicorns and Earth Ponies in ''Captain Equestria''. The latter are referred to by less savory characters as "[[FantasticSlurs diggers]]" and are treated like second-class citizens, which of course inspires a lot of hate back the other way. And due to the war, there isn't much love between ponies and griffons. |
| 64 | ** Diamond Dogs are seen as idiotic brutes. Rarity is quite surprised at how intelligent Kili is. |
| 65 | ** Trixie doesn't think much of thestrals (batponies, who are the dwarves of this universe), at least not enough to approve of her son marrying one. |
| 66 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Nightmare Moon has been referenced, one way or another, in every story so far, implying she's a GreaterScopeVillain. |
| 67 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Nightmare Moon appears to be this, as she's been referenced one way or another in every story. |
| 68 | * JekyllAndHyde: In addition to the Fluttershy/Flutterhulk situation, this is also the case with Pinkie and her Pinkamena/Bullseye personality. |
| 69 | * NoodleIncident: They're quite common. See individual sections. |
| 70 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: Fluttershy was foalhood friends with Firefly, who in this series is Scootaloo's mother; Scootaloo goes on to meet and befriend Rainbow Dash. |
| 71 | ** Rarity once met Iron Will due to her military contracts. He's the primary antagonist of Fluttershy's story. |
| 72 | ** Spike, as the stand in for Agent Coulson, shows up in several of the stories, allowing him to interact with multiple characters. |
| 73 | ** Daring Do is the daughter of one of Cupcake's University professors, so the latter knew her when she was a filly. |
| 74 | ** Daring is also Firefly's sister and Scootaloo's aunt, and taught Fluttershy when she was in Manehattan. |
| 75 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: |
| 76 | ** Rainbow Dash and Trixie are [[spoiler: adopted]] sisters, Rumble and Thunderlane are their brothers, and they're all Celestia's children. |
| 77 | ** Scootaloo is Daring Do's niece. |
| 78 | ** Featherweight is Filthy Rich's son. |
| 79 | ** Apparently Celestia is on Shining Armor and Twilight's family tree. Though this has only been explored briefly, with Shining believing it to be an old mare's tale, WordOfGod is that it's an important plot point. |
| 80 | ** Berry Punch is Cheerilee's cousin. |
| 81 | ** Sunset Shimmer is Celestia, Luna, and Cadence's sister. |
| 82 | * {{Retcon}}: The author, after much consideration, eventually decided to modify the stories to make the characters anthro, [[WordOfGod citing]] [[PragmaticAdaptation difficulty writing action sequences for future stories.]] However, due to widespread dislike of this change, it was eventually retconed back to full pony. |
| 83 | * SchizoTech: Apparently, Equestria has access to such high technology as supercomputers, gems that act as miniaturized nuclear reactors and normal cars and trains, yet still have zeppelins as the only major form of aerial mass transport. |
| 84 | * ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/HarmonysWarriors Has it's own page]] |
| 85 | ** Not to mention all of the song-inspired chapter titles. |
| 86 | * ShipSinking: Meta example -- the canonical Shining Armor/Cadence pairing is rendered impossible by her being a Asgardian goddess. The author has said he is a fan of the ship but as of right now in his universe doesn't see it happening anytime soon. [[spoiler: Although, with Cadence on her way to essentially act as an ambassador to the mortal realm, the ship may yet happen]]. |
| 87 | * SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: They were briefly {{Funny Animal}}s (due to a retcon), but eventually changed by to the CivilizedAnimal that is more common in MLP fan fiction. |
| 88 | * WorldOfBadass: At one point or another, pretty much every major character, regardless of gender, has managed to have at least one badass moment. |
| 89 | [[/folder]] |
| 90 | |
| 91 | ---- |
| 92 | |
| 93 | !! PHASE ONE: |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Phase One of the ''Harmony's Warriors'' universe acts as both the first wave of stories and functions to act as a foundation for subsequent stories. It focuses almost exclusively on the Mane Six and their origins as superheroes. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | [[folder: Tropes present in the original ''Iron Mare'']] |
| 98 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Rarity sees Sweetie Belle as this, more so than in canon. [[spoiler: They make up at the end of the story]]. |
| 99 | * BigBad: None. [[PsychoForHire Herzlos]] is the StarterVillain, [[ShockAndAwe Light Bright/Living Laser]] is the FinalBoss, and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Fancypants']] mysterious master is alluded to, but the story has no central villain. |
| 100 | * CanonDiscontinuity |
| 101 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Rarity's captors enjoy waterboarding her; in the remake they at least have the excuse of getting her to cooperate, but here they seem to be doing it purely ForTheEvulz. |
| 102 | * GadgeteerGenius: Spark Plug. |
| 103 | * [[IAmNotMyFather I Am Not My Mother]]: Rarity strives for this. [[spoiler: it's only at the end of the story that she realizes she failed.]] |
| 104 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: Sweetie Belle. She get her chance [[spoiler: once she becomes [[ComicBook/WarMachine Sweet Machine]].]] |
| 105 | * InTheBlood: Being both a chain-smoker and a stuck up snobby bitch seems to be genetic among Belle mares since at least Rarity's grandmother Glory Belle. Sweetie Belle is an exception from the get go, and Rarity eventually outgrows it. |
| 106 | * JerkassRealization: Her experiences in captivity force Rarity to realize how much of her life's been wasted in petty selfishness. |
| 107 | * PsychoElectro: Light Bright when he becomes the Living Laser. |
| 108 | * SequelHook: Just like the movie it's based on, it ends with [[spoiler: Shining Armor approaching Rarity to join a team he's putting together.]] |
| 109 | * TakeThat: When Twilight drops her alias and reveals her true name, Rarity says it sounds like "the title of a [[Literature/Twilight2005 cheap vampire novel]]". According to Twilight, ''everyone'' says that. |
| 110 | * [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done Daughter" Girl]]: Rarity's relationship with her mother. |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder: Tropes present in the rewritten version of ''Iron Mare'']] |
| 114 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: How Rarity views Sweetie Belle, initially. They eventually bond over their common dislike for their mother. |
| 115 | * BenevolentAI: TOM, the counterpart of Jarvis. |
| 116 | * BigBad: Fancy Pants, who arranges the attempt on Rarity's life to try and steal her company, and is attempting to copy her mana reactor for his own ends. |
| 117 | * [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Old Mare Out]]: Sweetie Belle calls her mother out on being a self absorbed Jerkass. [[Awesome/HarmonysWarriors And it was awesome.]] |
| 118 | * TheCameo: Caramel, who WordOfGod says will be playing the role of [[spoiler: Franchise/{{Superman}}]] at a later point, shows up at Rarity's press conference. |
| 119 | ** As noted below, [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Mane]], shows up in one chapter. |
| 120 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Fancy Pants hires Ahuizotl to kidnap and kill Rarity so that he can eventually take over her company. And when he hires Light Bright to recreate Rarity's mana reactor, he shows absolutely no concern for Light Bright's well being or how the pressures of his demands are affecting him. |
| 121 | * FreudianExcuse: Part of the reason Rarity doesn't initially get along with Sweetie is the fact that her mother didn't even tell Rarity that she was gonna be a big sister until ''after'' Sweetie Belle was born. |
| 122 | * FutureMeScaresMe: While in captivity, Rarity has a dream vision [[spoiler: sent by Nightmare Moon]] of herself after her release, where everyone she cares about leaves her and she becomes a despondent recluse. [[ScrewDestiny She refuses to let this happen.]] |
| 123 | * GadgeteerGenius: Rarity. So much so that she is able to build a welding torch out of spare parts. |
| 124 | ** Sweetie Belle as well, to the point that at times she comes up with things that hadn't occurred to Rarity. She's even the one who started creating TOM. |
| 125 | * GoodFeelsGood: Rarity comes to this conclusion after saving an Ishvalan village from terrorists and sees the grateful looks on the villagers' faces. |
| 126 | * HeroicBSOD: Rarity, after [[spoiler: Kili's death]]. |
| 127 | * HiddenDepths: Rarity is surprised at how much Sweetie Belle knows about rocket mechanics. |
| 128 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Pearl Belle convinces herself that Rarity faked her kidnapping as a stunt to get her attention... until she sees what poor physical condition she's in. |
| 129 | * [[IAmNotMyFather I Am Not My Mother]]: Rarity strives for this. Sweetie Belle too. |
| 130 | * IHaveManyNames: Ahuizotl claims this when he and Rarity first meet, saying that his minions call him "Lord and Master" and the Diamond Dogs call him "The Blue Death". |
| 131 | * InTheBlood: Being both a chain-smoker and a stuck up snobby bitch seems to be genetic among Belle mares since at least Rarity's grandmother Glory Belle. Sweetie Belle is an exception from the get go, and Rarity eventually outgrows it. |
| 132 | ** Sweetie also shares her sister's GadgeteerGenius traits. |
| 133 | * JerkassRealization: Her experiences in captivity force Rarity to realize how much of her life's been wasted in petty selfishness. |
| 134 | ** Pearl seems to have one from a combination of Sweetie calling her out and realizing that Rarity really ''was'' kidnapped. She even tries to apologize to Rarity a few chapters later. |
| 135 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: What Rarity becomes after the above realization. |
| 136 | * KarmicDeath: Roman and Xavier, two members of the terrorist group that kidnapped Rarity, meet their end when she -- now as the Iron Mare -- halts their group's attack on an innocent village, and then [[DoWithHimAsYouWill leaves them at the mercy of the villagers they were just tormenting and killing]]. |
| 137 | * KickTheDog: Ahuizotl [[spoiler: kills Kili]] in front of Rarity for no reason other than to prove a point to her. |
| 138 | * LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: Partially subverted. When she is captured, Rarity's captors leave her alone in a room full of tools and spare parts. She promptly begins to build [[MacGyvering a suit of powered armor]]. [[spoiler: Kili's death, however, throws a wrench in her escape plan.]] |
| 139 | * MyGreatestFailure: How Rarity feels about [[spoiler: being unable to save Kili]]. |
| 140 | * MythologyGag: Rarity names her new A.I. TOM. |
| 141 | ** The icing problem from the first Iron Man movie rears its head. |
| 142 | * NightmareSequence: Rarity has several both during and after her captivity. [[spoiler: At least some of which are sent by Nightmare Moon.]] |
| 143 | * NoodleIncident: Rarity apparently got so wasted at her last birthday party that when she demonstrated her new prototype robot, it resulted in her widescreen TV being destroyed and Iron Will being covered in oil. |
| 144 | * ParentsAsPeople: The reason Pearl was so cold, distant, and demanding to Rarity growing up was that she was so focused on Rarity's potential and what she ''could'' grow up to do, she blinded herself to what she ''was'' doing, overlooking every accomplishment as she focused on trying to push Rarity to what she felt she could accomplish and be great at. |
| 145 | * PrisonerExchange: How Rarity gains her freedom. |
| 146 | * PutOnABus: To avoid a potential RomanticPlotTumor, the author has Rarity sending Written Script to investigate a possible leak at [=BelleTech=], thus removing him from the main plot and allowing the story to focus on Rarity bonding with Sweetie Belle and building the suit. |
| 147 | ** TheBusCameBack[=/=]CommutingOnABus: He will be back though. |
| 148 | * {{Rewrite}} |
| 149 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: Written Script gives Rarity one to make sure that she's serious about using her armor to help others, rather than just treating it as a pet project. |
| 150 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Rarity makes her first appearance as Iron Mare, terrorist leader Herzlos quickly runs away, followed by many of his men soon after. |
| 151 | * TeenGenius: Sweetie Belle, who's inherited her sister's GadgeteerGenius traits. |
| 152 | * WarForFunAndProfit: Rarity accuses Fancy Pants of being a war profiteer; he justifies it as pragmatic business. |
| 153 | * [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done Daughter" Girl]]: Rarity's relationship with her mother, full stop. Though there are signs of possible improvement. |
| 154 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Azuhiotl's stated reason for [[spoiler: killing Kili]]. |
| 155 | [[/folder]] |
| 156 | |
| 157 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''Flutterhulk'']] |
| 158 | * AfraidOfNeedles: Fluttershy, which makes it a little awkward when Cherrilee needs to take a blood sample for research. |
| 159 | * AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Fluttershy has no memory of what happens during a HulkOut. |
| 160 | * AntiHero: Flutterhulk dances along this, due to her [[TheBerserker incredibly bestial nature]]. |
| 161 | * ArtShift: When Flutterhulk speaks, it's printed in green. |
| 162 | ** Similarly, once Snowflake [[spoiler: transforms into Red Hulk]], his speech is written in red. |
| 163 | * BadassNormal: Hoofcuff is just a normal pony going after [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk a giant monster fueled by pure rage]]. |
| 164 | * TheBerserker: Flutterhulk. Full stop. [[spoiler: And Snowflake once he becomes Red Hulk.]] |
| 165 | * BerserkButton: If there's one guaranteed way to get Fluttershy to let go and release Flutterhulk, it's to threaten her mother. |
| 166 | * {{BFG}}: The sniper rifle Snowflake uses during the ambush on Fluttershy in Manehattan is described as being the size of a cannon. And it turns out to just be a tranq-gun. |
| 167 | * BigBad: Iron Will, [[DiscOneFinalBoss initially]], though [[SociopathicSoldier Snowflake]] takes over the role later. |
| 168 | * BrickJoke: When Fluttershy runs into Firefly at a train station, she makes up the name Tree Branch as an alias. Some time later, she actually comes across a town called Tree Branch. She lampshades the coincidence. |
| 169 | * TheCameo: Gilda, as a ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} {{Expy}}, shows up in one chapter. |
| 170 | ** A later chapter likewise has Zecora show up with elements of ComicBook/BlackPanther to her. |
| 171 | ** Yet another chapter has Babs Seed show up as [[ComicBook/XMen Rogue]]. |
| 172 | ** Cheerilee [[spoiler: as the soon to be [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Lizard]]]] shows up near the climax. Seems that Fluttershy attracts a lot of intercontinuity attention. |
| 173 | * CassandraTruth: Fluttershy's uncle was institutionalized for saying that his ImaginaryFriend warned him about the threat posed by Nightmare Moon and her minions. But since we know from the rest of the series that Nightmare Moon herself is quite real, it makes you wonder how much of the rest of that is accurate... |
| 174 | * CatapultNightmare: Fluttershy suffers from several through the course of the story. |
| 175 | * ClothingDamage[=/=]MagicPants: In keeping with the FunnyAnimal {{Retcon}}, both of these tropes are added to the story. |
| 176 | * DaddyIssues: Part of Snowflake's attitude stems from his abusive relationship with his griffon stepfather. |
| 177 | * DisappearedDad: Fluttershy's father has been dead since Fluttershy was about twelve. It's later revealed through {{Flashback}} that [[spoiler: Fluttershy accidentally killed him during a HulkOut.]] |
| 178 | * DrivenToSuicide: The first scene in the story is Fluttershy attempting to kill herself due to her extreme guilt over Flutterhulk's actions. It doesn't work. |
| 179 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: Fluttershy, whether she wants to be one or not. |
| 180 | * GeneralRipper: Iron Will. |
| 181 | * {{Hallucinations}}: When Snowflake's serum-induced SanitySlippage kicks in, he starts seeing his dead father insulting him and egging him on. |
| 182 | * HulkSpeak: Flutterhulk doesn't speak much, but when it does, it's usually in a very simplistic and direct manner. |
| 183 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Tree Flower does this to calm Flutterhulk down. |
| 184 | * ImmuneToBullets: Flutterhulk, and later [[spoiler: a transformed Snowflake]] |
| 185 | * JekyllAndHyde: Fluttershy and New Fluttershy/Flutterhulk. |
| 186 | * MadeOfIron: Flutterhulk obviously. |
| 187 | * MamaBear: Fluttershy's mother Tree Flower. |
| 188 | * MythologyGag: Fluttershy's father's name is ''Banner'' Wing, as in Bruce Banner, the canonical Hulk. |
| 189 | * NightmareSequence: Fluttershy has at least five, two of which function as a form of FlashBack. |
| 190 | * NoodleIncident: Fluttershy, when on the train in Manehattan, reads about such an incident involving a grocery store and a bunch of animals. |
| 191 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: After Snowflake injects Fluttershy's blood, he transforms into the ComicBook/RedHulk.]] |
| 192 | * {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler: As revealed in a {{flashback}}, Fluttershy is responsible for her own father's death when she discovers she's been being given serum treatments without her knowledge.]] [[HulkOut She doesn't take it well]] |
| 193 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Fluttershy, much to her own dismay. |
| 194 | * PsychoSerum: As in canon, the super solider serum has this effect on Snowflake, slowly driving him insane. |
| 195 | * RaceLift: According to ''Captain Equestria'', Griffins are considered to be Germanic in culture. This includes Gilda the Griffin, who appears in this story. [[spoiler: Gilda is this universe's ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, who is usually Canadian.]] |
| 196 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Hoofcuff gives Iron Will one when she finally has enough of his BS. She points out that Fluttershy only transforms in self-defense from his attempts to capture her, and that he's only so obsessed with catching her because she keeps getting away, not because of any threat she poses. |
| 197 | * {{Retcon}}: The author considered writing Hoofcuff out of the story due to complications with the flow of the plot, but ultimately just rewrote a couple of chapters that allowed her to stay. |
| 198 | ** He also changed Hoofcuff from a Marshal to a NEIGHS agent. |
| 199 | * SanitySlippage: Snowflake starts undergoing this once injected with the serum. |
| 200 | * UnstoppableRage: Flutterhulk is the physical embodiment of this. |
| 201 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Subverted. It seems Iron Will is willing to do ''anything'' to catch Fluttershy and end the threat her other self poses, but Hoofcuff eventually calls him out on only wanting to catch her in order to soothe his ego. |
| 202 | * WhatDidIDoLastNight: Frequent with Fluttershy, due to her AlternateIdentityAmnesia. |
| 203 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Fluttershy says this a few times. She's usually ignored. |

| 206 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''Soar'']] |
| 207 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: How Trixie views Rumble. Rainbow Dash gets along with him better. |
| 208 | * ArtifactOfDoom: Den Hjerte Eske, "The Heart Casket", containing the heart of the first Changeling Penumbrus, which holds the magic and memories of every ruler of the Changelings since. |
| 209 | %%* BigBad: Trixie. |
| 210 | * BoisterousBruiser: Rainbow Dash, as per canon; this comes back to bite her in the flank pretty hard. |
| 211 | * BreakTheHaughty: Rainbow Dash's experiences in Appleloosa do this to her. |
| 212 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Rainbow Dash during her banishment. Which includes losing her wings and her ''cutie mark''. [[spoiler: After nearly being killed by Fenrir while defending the civilians in Appleloosa, she proves herself worthy and regains everything.]] |
| 213 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Soarin' seems a bit dull, and obsessed with pie, but he's still a highly skilled Asgardian warrior and tracker. |
| 214 | * ButtMonkey: Comet Trail, who seems well aware of his status. |
| 215 | ** ThrowTheDogABone: Gets his moment to shine near the end of the story, when the Asgardians use his expertise in magic to [[spoiler: free Fenrir's mind from his curse]]. |
| 216 | * CanisMajor: Fenrir, who's large enough that Trixie is able to ride comfortably on his back. |
| 217 | * ChangelingFantasy: [[spoiler: Trixie]]. |
| 218 | * DisappearedDad: Rainbow Dash and Trixie's father, Siegfried, was killed in battle with the Changelings when Rainbow was only an infant. |
| 219 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Queen Chrysalis is presented as a major threat early on in the story, but quickly becomes a pawn in Trixie's schemes. |
| 220 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: After realizing her desperate attempts to prove herself worthy as Celestia's daughter have seemingly failed, Trixie lets herself fall into the void between realms.]] |
| 221 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Trixie is a [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative trickster]] who goes power hungry when she finds out [[spoiler: her true heritage]], but she genuinely loved each of her children despite their bizarre natures, and still bears the emotional scars from having them taken away from her. And when Hela and Sleipnir refuse to rejoin her upon her taking the throne, it only drives her further over the edge. |
| 222 | ** Ultimately, she loses it enough that even this gets thrown out the window, as proven when [[spoiler: [[MindControl she forcibly takes control of Fenrir's mind to get him to kill Rainbow Dash]]]]. |
| 223 | * ExactWords: Luna is sworn to serve the All-Mother no matter what, but that also includes protecting them. And since she fears for Trixie's mental wellbeing after becoming All-Mother, she decides the best thing to do is disobey her order not to let anyone use the Bifrost and let Rainbow Dash's friends bring her back, as she feels it would be the best thing for Trixie. |
| 224 | * TheExile: Thunderlane is apparently this, having become a social pariah among the other Asgardians, and is [[spoiler: now [[WalkingTheEarth wandering the Nine Realms]]]]. |
| 225 | ** Rainbow Dash becomes an example of this as well after infuriating Celestia by provoking a war with the Changelings. |
| 226 | ** [[spoiler: Fenrir invokes this on himself, choosing to stay in Equestria as atonement for all the damage he did while under the influence of his curse.]] |
| 227 | * FinalSolution: [[spoiler: Upon learning of her true ancestry, Trixie plans to completely eradicate the Changelings, with the hope that it will prove she's just as much of an Asgardian as Rainbow Dash.]] |
| 228 | * FishOutOfWater: Rainbow Dash still acts like a boisterous warrior princess after arriving in Appleloosa. It gets her into a lot of trouble. |
| 229 | * ForcedTransformation: Fenrir was once a normal pony until he angered [[TheFairFolk the Flutter Ponies]] by refusing to come to their aid in their time of need, resulting in them placing a curse on him, transforming him into a wolf and leaving him practically mindless. [[spoiler: Near the end of the story, Dash and her fellow warriors, with help from Comet Trail, is able to free his mind, though his body's still stuck.]] |
| 230 | * GroinAttack: A female example -- Pinkie Pie performs one during her fight with Rainbow Dash. |
| 231 | -->"CROTCH SHOT!" |
| 232 | * HeroicBSOD: Rainbow Dash sinks into one when she finds herself unworthy to lift Mjolnir, compounded when Trixie lies to her about [[spoiler: Celestia dying]] and her exile being permanent. |
| 233 | * TheHighQueen: Celestia foregoes PrincessesRule and is Queen of Asgard. |
| 234 | * ItsAllMyFault: After the fact, this is nearly everyone's reaction to Trixie's StartOfDarkness [[spoiler: and apparent death]]. |
| 235 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Rainbow Dash pulls this on Fenrir during the fight in Appleloosa, appealing to his loyalty to family to resist his curse and not fight. [[spoiler: It works, but [[MindControl Trixie just takes control of him and forces him to continue to fight.]]]] |
| 236 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Spike, when things start to hit the fan. |
| 237 | * [[KnightTemplarParent Knight Templar Aunt]]: Daring Do is one to Scootaloo. In her defense, you'd be fearing for your charge's safety too if her new best friend claimed to be a demigoddess. |
| 238 | * MindControl: Trixie uses her natural [[spoiler: Changeling]] abilities to convince Cadence to make her temporary All-Mother in light of Rainbow Dash's banishment and Celestia entering [[ConvenientComa The Slumber]]. |
| 239 | ** Happens again when [[spoiler: Trixie takes control of Fenrir, forcing him to attack Rainbow Dash]]. |
| 240 | * {{Mordor}}: The Changeling realm Hekkerheim is a desolate wasteland. |
| 241 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Fenrir's reaction once his mind is freed from his curse and he sees all the damage he caused.]] |
| 242 | * MythologyGag: A rather subtle one. Apparently, at some undefined point in the past, Trixie cut Spitfire's hair off and sold it to the Threstrals. This is a reference to a Norse Myth where Loki sold the Lady Sif's hair to dwarfs as a prank. |
| 243 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: After Trixie sticks Luna in a cocoon and knocks her out, two Changelings are posted to guard her; one of them tries to prove to the other that she's not a threat by poking her to prove she's unconscious... which wakes her up, allowing her to break free, kill them, and bring Rainbow Dash and her friends back home.]] |
| 244 | * NoodleIncident: Rainbow Dash, Trixie, and their friends all make reference to previous adventures that we only learn bits and pieces of. |
| 245 | ** A more serious example are the births of Trixie's monstrous children. Especially the... [[ChildByRape circumstances]] around Slepiner's conception. |
| 246 | ** Daring refers to a "Salad Incident" with Comet Trail, which apparently involved a garbage disposal catching on fire. |
| 247 | * PredecessorVillain: Penumbras, the first Changeling. |
| 248 | * {{Retcon}}: Thunderlane and Rumble were added to the earlier ''Soar'' chapters well after the story was underway, so that references to the former and appearances by the latter later on wouldn't suddenly come out of nowhere. |
| 249 | ** After seeing a certain deleted scene from ''Film/{{Thor}}'', the author added a similar scene to an earlier chapter to expand on Celestia's reasons for banishing Rainbow Dash. |
| 250 | ** The author originally called his version of Asgard "Equinsgard", but ultimately decided it was too much of a mouthful, so rewrote it as Asgard. |
| 251 | * SequelHook: [[spoiler: Chrysalis and the changelings abandon the destroyed Hekkerheim with plans to conquer Midgard.]] |
| 252 | * ShipTease: After [[spoiler: Fenrir is freed from his insanity]], Pinkie comments on [[CrackPairing how sexy his voice is]]. |
| 253 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Chrysalis is in the role of Laufey, but due to being more savvy than him, she survives Trixie's double cross.]] |
| 254 | ** [[spoiler: Also technically Fenrir, since he takes on the Destroyer's role in the story, but isn't killed the way it's destroyed in ''Thor''.]] |
| 255 | * TheVamp: Trixie. [[spoiler: It doesn't help that she's actually a Changeling]]. |
| 256 | * VillainousBreakdown: Trixie's sanity degrades over the course of the story, but she outright snaps at the climax. |
| 257 | * VillainOverride: [[spoiler: Trixie takes direct control of Fenrir when he refuses to keep fighting Rainbow Dash.]] |
| 258 | * [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Wolves?]]: Pinkie's reaction when Fenrir shows up. [[spoiler: She warms up considerably when Rainbow breaks his brainwashing, especially when he's revealed to have a baritone]]. |
| 259 | ** Rainbow Dash has a similar fear of spiders, and uses this similarity to comfort Pinkie during the fight with Fenrir. |
| 260 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Trixie's desire to prove herself worthy of being Celestia's daughter [[spoiler: and her hatred of her true heritage]] is driving her [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope right off the slippery slope]]. |
| 261 | [[/folder]] |
| 262 | |
| 263 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''Captain Equestria'']] |
| 264 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Applejack's full name is Applejack Ashleigh Apple. Surprise [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] this. |
| 265 | * AlphaBitch: Glory Belle. [[NiceGuy Her father]] does not approve. |
| 266 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: Surprise is able to deduce Applejack's entire backstory just by looking at her. [[Series/{{Sherlock}} Sound like someone we know?]] |
| 267 | ** Apple Bloom's special talent seems to be able to do this towards guns. |
| 268 | * BadassBoast: Gilda claims that Death is afraid of her. |
| 269 | * BenevolentBoss: Blue Belle; he gives Applejack's father more time to pay rent, and is more than willing to provide more work if it will help the Apple Family make ends meet. And when Apple Buck dies in a cave-in at his mine, he tries to compensate the family well enough to cover their debt; they refuse a hand out, but the thought counts. |
| 270 | * BerserkButton: Apple Bloom gets mad when she hears some other soldiers insulting Applejack, but when one insults their mother to her face, Bloom ''snaps'' and beats the crap out of him. |
| 271 | ** Aleister does ''not'' react well to being called an addict. |
| 272 | * BigBad: Hoity Toity/Red Skull, the leader of HYDRA. |
| 273 | * BigSisterInstinct: It's implied that Gilda is developing this towards Apple Bloom. |
| 274 | * BilingualBonus: German is used to substitute the griffin language. |
| 275 | * BriefAccentImitation: Gilda does this with Applejack as a way to belittle her thick Ozark accent. Counts as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} as well. |
| 276 | * BringNewsBack: Gustav finds a soldier after his OneManArmy moment and sends him back to the Equestrian lines to let them know of Gustav taking the city. As the "messenger" runs away, Gustav decides to have a little fun and takes some potshots at him. |
| 277 | * ChildSoldier: Apple Bloom lies about her age in order to join the army. WordOfGod says that she's about 15. |
| 278 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Surprise. [[GenerationXerox It runs in the family]]. |
| 279 | * CuttingTheKnot: Like the movie it's based on, there's a scene where the soldiers at boot camp are told to remove a flag from its pole, with only Applejack succeeding by knocking the pole itself over. |
| 280 | * DisappearedDad: Applejack's father Apple Buck was killed in a mine collapse while attempting to get more money for his family. Applejack's mother died soon after due to working herself to exhaustion, and being unable to fight off pneumonia. |
| 281 | * DoomedByCanon: Pretty much everyone except Applejack, Shining Armor, and Twilight, being as it takes place 60 years before the other fics. |
| 282 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Sergeant Stonewall and Gilda share this role at the boot camp. |
| 283 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Berry Punch, who is set to be in the role of [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Blade}}]], shows up in one chapter. |
| 284 | * EverybodySmokes: Being the 40s and all, this is naturally the case. |
| 285 | * EvilSorcerer: Aleister. |
| 286 | * ForegoneConclusion: Not only do we know from the prologue that Applejack will end up going missing and being frozen, but due to being published alongside ''X-Questrians'', we know that Gustav will survive HYDRA's downfall to become the BigBad in that fic. Likewise, Aleister will also survive, as he's still active in the time frame of ''X-Questrians'' as well. |
| 287 | ** Same goes for Gilda as a drill sergeant. She appears to be perfectly alive and well in ''Flutterhulk'', which is set in the present day. Given that she's this universe's ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, that's not much a surprise. |
| 288 | * FunctionalAddict: Aleister is addicted to cocaine, but is one of the most efficient members of HYDRA. |
| 289 | * FunetikAksent: Applejack and Apple Bloom's accents are written phonetically, which is a common occurrence in MLP fan fiction. |
| 290 | * GenkiGirl: Surprise. |
| 291 | * GenerationXerox: Surprise is Pinkie's grandmother, and has the same personality she does. WordOfGod says she's also Fetlock's grandmother, which is where he gets his [[SherlockScan skills]] from. |
| 292 | * GodzillaThreshold: Gustav taking Stalliongrad (the largest maker of steel in Equestria) causes the Equestrian higher-ups to push through Project Rebirth, even if those involved aren't entirely certain they're ready. |
| 293 | * GoodIsNotNice: Dr. Belle is on fighting to stop Hydra, but his interview with Applejack has him basically say that he's perfectly OK with sacrificing soldiers or small villages if it gains a tactical advantage against Hydra. |
| 294 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Applejack's mother Apple Blossom develops this as she works herself into sickness. WordOfGod states that it was supposed to be pneumonia. |
| 295 | * IKnowYourTrueName: Aleister is fond of using the power of names against people. |
| 296 | * ItsAllMyFault: Applejack secretly blames herself (the money problems caused by the medical costs for her poor health, specifically) for her parents' deaths. |
| 297 | * {{Jerkass}}: Glory Belle and Silver Belle. The author admits it runs in the family. |
| 298 | * MagicVersusScience: The zebra Aleister and Beauty Brass, both Hydra members, have this dynamic, with Beauty being science, since she's a Zola {{Expy}}. |
| 299 | * MythologyGag: Applejack's father, Apple Buck, has the nickname "Bucky" (as in, Captain America's sidekick). |
| 300 | * NiceGuy: Blue Belle (see BenevolentBoss). |
| 301 | * NoJustNoReaction: Shining's reaction when Applejack asks if Twilight is his girlfriend. |
| 302 | * NoodleIncident: Surprise tells Applejack that the only time she hasn't been chipper was something involving oak trees, angry sparrows, a pecan pie, and durians (a type of exotic fruit). |
| 303 | * NoIndoorVoice: Sergeant Stonewall. |
| 304 | * OneManArmy: Gustav takes a heavily fortified city more or less single handedly, due to his ability to absorb and redirect kinetic energy. |
| 305 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Shining Armor and Twilight are shown as younger, but still adults, when we know they're still active in the present day. |
| 306 | ** There's also Berry Punch, who [[WordOfGod according to the author]], is about fifty years old in this story, but is never described as being middle-aged or older. Furthermore, there's the fact that [[spoiler: she's lively enough to be hunting vampires during this period and will still be young enough to marry Batman in the future]] takes this to an even greater level than Shining and Twilight. |
| 307 | * OverlyLongName: The Professor. His full name? Hans Wolfgang Christoph Ludwig von Schultz. But most just call him Professor Schultz. |
| 308 | * ParentalSubstitute: Professor Schultz shows signs of becoming one to Applejack. |
| 309 | * PleaseWakeUp: Applejack when her mother dies. |
| 310 | * PersonalityPowers: Red Skull didn't become like that because he was a nice guy... |
| 311 | ** This is why Applejack was chosen, with the Professor hoping that her inner goodness would be amplified. |
| 312 | * {{Retcon}}: The author ultimately decided that the chapters dealing with Applejack's childhood and the deaths of her parents slowed down the story, so moved them to the Longbox Anthology, thus keeping them intact and canon but out of the way. |
| 313 | * SherlockScan: Surprise, in her first appearance, manages to deduce the entire plot up to that point just by looking at Applejack. |
| 314 | * ShipTease: Shining Armor and Applejack have shown signs of attraction to each other. |
| 315 | * SouthernGentleman: Blue Belle, Glory Belle's father, seems to be an example of this trope. He's apparently not particularly prejudiced towards the Apple Family, but he still owns their home entirely and uses them as employees. |
| 316 | * StuffBlowingUp: Surprise's specialty; she manufactures fireworks as a normal trade, and joined the army as a demolitions expert. |
| 317 | * TakeThat: Apple Bloom at one point is shown reading a somewhat nonsensical comic book that is meant to be a send up to the pulp stories of the 40s and 50s. |
| 318 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Aleister and Beauty Brass both work for Hydra, but they have a MagicVersusScience type rivalry (at least on the zebra's part, Beauty doesn't seem to care nearly as much). |
| 319 | * TragicKeepsake: As per usual for MLP fanon, Applejack's hat used to be her father's. In this case, he gave it to her just before his first day at Blue Bell's mine (and his death). |
| 320 | * WarIsHell: Gilda gives Apple Bloom a speech about this trope. |
| 321 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Silver Belle makes it perfectly clear to Applejack that he'd be willing to sacrifice soldiers or even entire towns for the sake of winning the war. |
| 322 | ** Hydra apparently started out as a YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters-type group, fighting against anti-Earth Pony FantasticRacism before JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. |
| 323 | * WrenchWench: Of a sort; Applebloom gets her cutie mark when she outpaces several trained professionals in field stripping weapons, finishing more in two hours than they could finish in a week. |
| 324 | * YouGotGuts: Gilda is impressed by both Apple sisters' tenacity and fighting spirit. |
| 325 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Apple Bloom is able to lie about her age and join the army. WordOfGod states that she's about 15. |
| 326 | * YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: HYDRA started off as a group of Earth Ponies rebelling against oppression by Unicorns and Pegasi (or so they say). |

| 329 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''X-Questrians First Class'']] |
| 330 | * AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Cupcake takes a brief look into Fleur de Lis' memories. It's not pretty. |
| 331 | * AntiHero: As an intelligence agent, Twilight is perfectly willing to use physical and psychological torture to get information out of prisoners. |
| 332 | * AntiMagic: Dragon scales have a property like this. Carrot exploits this to create a helmet that serves as a two-way block to PsychicPowers. |
| 333 | * ArgentinaIsNaziland / {{Oireland}} / UsefulNotes/{{Switzerland}}: The dragon island nation of Wyremland is a combination of all three -- it's a refuge for war criminals (Argentina), it has a boisterous native people (Ireland), and it's neutral (Switzerland). |
| 334 | * ArtifactOfDoom: The Fire Star, a crystal that [[AmplifierArtifact increases a being's natural abilities tenfold]]. Not so bad on its own, but when someone like Gustav is after it.... |
| 335 | * BigBad: Gustav. |
| 336 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: Very much true apparently in the country of South Griffinheim. So much so that they equip water towers to serve as surveillance stations. |
| 337 | ** According to WordOfGod, South Griffinheim is supposed to be similar to Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. |
| 338 | * BilingualBonus: The name of the village Carrot Cake grew up in is "Prospekt", which is "street" in [[Main/GratuitousRussian Russian.]] |
| 339 | ** Spike curses in Gaelic. |
| 340 | ** When going undercover in a Las Pegasus casino to spy on Gustav, Twilight has a conversation with a porter entirely in French. |
| 341 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Gustav. He acts very friendly and inviting when first speaking with Carrot Cake's mother and Carrot Cake himself, only to later kill Carrot Cake's mother upon Carrot Cake's failure to move a coin. |
| 342 | * BreakTheCutie: Having your mother shot to death in front of you will do that. Poor Carrot Cake... |
| 343 | * BrokenBird: Angel. Being a sex slave to someone like Gustav will do that to you. |
| 344 | * CallBack: There are plenty to ''Captain Equestria''. |
| 345 | * CurbStompBattle: Carrot's first confrontation with Gustav and Marie doesn't last long, or end to well for him. |
| 346 | * DontYouDarePityMe: Carrot does not want Cupcake's sympathy for what he's been through. |
| 347 | * DramaPreservingHandicap: Dragon scales have an AntiMagic property that acts as a PsychicBlockDefense, preventing Gustav's powers from working on them. This is partly to keep Gustav from causing dragons from going AxCrazy and slaughtering everyone in sight, which he probably ''would'' do if he could. |
| 348 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Gustav has a facade of charm and class, but is a sociopathic killing machine. |
| 349 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Carrot Cake is set up to be Magneto, what with his magnetism powers and tragic childhood. His code name in a surveillance report? [[ComicBook/{{Magneto}} Subject M.]] |
| 350 | * ForegoneConclusion: Since he's the BigBad of the story, it's clear Gustav survives the events of ''Captain Equestria''. Likewise with Aleister, who's still working with Gustav. |
| 351 | * ForTheEvulz: After killing Carrot Cake's mother, Gustav reveals that the coin he had asked Carrot to move was made of chocolate. For apparently no other reason then to see the colt suffer. |
| 352 | ** WordOfGod says that his motivation for seeking power is basically a desire to kill and torment as many as possible. |
| 353 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Applejack is mentioned during a history lesson, as are the Blackhawks and Sergeant Rock. |
| 354 | * ICallItVera: Twilight calls her gun "Susan". |
| 355 | * ItsPersonal: Obviously, Carrot's obsession with hunting Gustav is driven by his experiences at the griffon's claws. Additionally, though, Twilight's also made the hunt for Gustav personal, hunting him since the fall of HYDRA to make him pay for what he did to her and Applejack's unit. |
| 356 | * JerkassRealization: Twilight has one over how she's been treating Cupcake and Carrot so far, and apologizes to the former for it. |
| 357 | * MadScientist: Gustav's assistant, Dr. Eno, who has no problem experimenting on Carrot ForScience |
| 358 | * MercyKill: One of the griffons Carrot kills in chapter 3 says that his death will be this, as he had a HeelRealization awhile ago and was just waiting for someone to come and finish him off. |
| 359 | * MindRape: One of Gustav's powers is the ability to create lifelike illusions -- he torments Carrot both by making him think his mother's still alive, and by trapping him in a burning landscape. |
| 360 | * NoodleIncident: According to surveillance reports, while getting bullied at school, Carrot Cake apparently moved an entire chain link fence and used it as a weapon, knocking the bullies asides. It is later what leads Gustav to finding out about Carrot Cake. |
| 361 | ** Fleur quotes a "brownie incident" also involving an electric kettle as the reason Cupcake's mother never taught her to bake. |
| 362 | * NoSocialSkills: Cupcake uses her telepathy to try and assist in getting to know colts. It works about as well as you'd expect. |
| 363 | * PowerIncontinence: Cupcake at the beginning till Fluer helps her with a focus technique. |
| 364 | * PsychicBlockDefense: Carrot makes a helmet out of dragon scales to serve as a two-way block for psychic powers due to the AntiMagic properties of the scales. |
| 365 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Cupcake gives one to Carrot after saving him from drowning. Could be considered a CharacterFilibuster. |
| 366 | * [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really 500 Years Old]]: Fleur. |
| 367 | * {{Retcon}}: The author had a bit of trouble deciding on when to place the events of this story (based on how old the characters would then be in the present day-set stories), starting in the seventies, moving it back to the late sixties, and then finally settling on the mid-seventies. |
| 368 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After killing Eno and burning down the facility where he was held prisoner, Carrot Cake starts hunting down Gustav and the rest of his minions. |
| 369 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Carrot shows up on Gustav's boat to kill him, Aleister calmly leaves the room, as it's not his problem or worth the energy to get involved. |
| 370 | * SecretPolice: Apparently, it seems that Gustav is head one such an organization, and ''Captain Equestria'' states that he was a member of Hydra. |
| 371 | * SexSlave: Angel is one to Gustav. |
| 372 | * {{Shapeshifting}}: Fleur. She disguises herself as a young filly in order to stay with Cupcake and her family (although Cupcake did invite her to stay, so it's all good). |
| 373 | * SinisterSurveillance: Carrot's mother's phone is unwittingly bugged by the SecretPolice, which eventually leads to them discovering Carrot Cake's powers. |
| 374 | * TheSociopath: Gustav, who WordOfGod says only wants power and authority so that he can use it to torment and kill as many people as possible. |
| 375 | ** Marie has shades of this as well. |
| 376 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Gustav and Aleister have hated each other since their HYDRA days, but put that aside in order to work together to find the Fire Star. |
| 377 | * TeleportersAndTransporters: Marie has the ability to teleport. |
| 378 | * ThreeWaySex: Played for {{Squick}} when Gustav suggests a three way between him, his ShrinkingViolet accomplice Angel, and Marie. |
| 379 | * TragicKeepsake: Shining Armor keeps Applejack's (who's presumed dead at this point) hat in his office. [[{{Tearjerker}} He talks to it.]] |
| 380 | * VillainTeleportation: Marie. |
| 381 | * WhatTheHellHero: Cupcake chews out Twilight for her methods of interrogating Carrot. |
| 382 | * [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]]: The main, [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable but]] [[ColdBloodedTorture not]] [[MindRape only]], reason that Carrot wants to kill Gustav. |

| 390 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''The Spectacular Spider-Colt'']] |
| 391 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Doctor Bunsen keeps calling Honeydew "Beaker". |
| 392 | ** Both she and Pip fall into it when they [[LoveAtFirstSight develop a mutual crush]], and when they start discussing science fiction shows. |
| 393 | * TheAllegedCar: The 1965 [[IncrediblyLamePun Ponyac]] GTO convertible that Pip helps his uncle Copper Wire fix up over the summer. |
| 394 | * BodyHorror: {{Discussed}}, but averted in regards to Pip's transformation. |
| 395 | * CallBack: Pip briefly mentions the events of the battle at the end of ''Flutterhulk'' to Featherweight, especially how Cheerilee's lab was destroyed. And we later see her home still under reconstruction following the damage. |
| 396 | * ChekhovsGun: Ruby entering the story, according to WordOfGod. |
| 397 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Filthy Rich, as befitting the counterpart of Norman Osborn. |
| 398 | * ComesGreatResponsibility: Copper Wire, this verse's version of Uncle Ben, tells Pip this in chapter 2. |
| 399 | * CrashIntoHello: Pip and Dinky collide on their way into school. MeetCute ensues. |
| 400 | * DeathByOriginStory: Pip's parents, as typical of Spidey tales. |
| 401 | * EnergyBeing: Honeydew was briefly stuck as one. |
| 402 | * EurekaMoment: While complaining in an internal monologue about all the problems she has to deal with, Cheerilee realizes that she can use Ruby Pinch's medicine as a means of treating Diamond Tiara's mutation. |
| 403 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Genetically modified electric eels appear in chapter 2. WordOfGod is that the pony Electro isn't going to show up in this story, but will in a future one. |
| 404 | ** Pip and Cheerile mention a NoodleIncident with one of Dr. Benson's inventions that attracted reptiles to it, including an alligator and a dragon scientist on staff. |
| 405 | ** Later, Cheerilee thinks about what could happen if someone unscrupulous manages to reverse-engineer Ruby's medicine. |
| 406 | * HowDoIShotWeb: Obviously, since it's the TropeNamer and all. WordOfGod is that Pip's gonna learn his powers as he goes along. Chapter four even has the trope name as the title. |
| 407 | * LoveAtFirstSight: After their CrashIntoHello, Pip and Dinky quickly develop a mutual crush. |
| 408 | * MegaCorp: [=RichCorp=]. |
| 409 | * MeetCute: Pip and Dinky. |
| 410 | * MythologyGag: Dinky's attitude towards starting school is reminiscent of Twilight's when she first came to Ponyville. |
| 411 | ** After Pip gets bitten by the spider, Featherweight worries that he might, among other things, grow extra arms, something that did happen to Peter Parker at one point when his mutation grew out of control. |
| 412 | * NoodleImplements: The "[[NoodleIncident Ice Cream Freedom Revolution]]" involved a monkey, (forgotten) hairnets, and a tub of lard. |
| 413 | * NoodleIncident: Apparently Honeydew was trapped as an EnergyBeing for several weeks after leaving his watch in an experiment chamber. He did not enjoy it. |
| 414 | ** Apparently Pip and Featherweight were behind something called the "Ice Cream Freedom Revolution" back in '09, for which the school chef seems to still hold a grudge over. Apparently it involved a [[NoodleImplements monkey, someone (Pip, according to Featherweight) forgetting to bring hairnets, and a tub of lard]]. |
| 415 | ** Bunsen apparently invented something that started attracting reptiles -- lizards, alligators, a dragon scientist on staff... And apparently he does stuff like that a ''lot''. |
| 416 | * PainfulTransformation: While there's no outward changes, the process of Pip's mutation is incredibly painful. |
| 417 | * PlotParallel: Dinky's apprehension about going to school is similar to Canon!Twilight's before she came to Ponyville. |
| 418 | * PowerIncontinence: Diamond Tiara's telepathy, combined with the tendency for diamonds to grow on her coat whenever she is stressed. |
| 419 | ** When Pip tries to ask her out, Dinky [[TeleportersAndTransporters accidentally teleports away]]. |
| 420 | ** Pip accidentally rips off the door of his locker. |
| 421 | * RecursiveCanon: Time Turner is Dinky's father and the Doctor exists in the universe, while a TV show named ''[[Series/DoctorWho Adventures in Space and Time]]'' and based off the Doctor's adventures [[ATrueStoryInMyUniverse was written by a bored writer the Doctor met once]]. |
| 422 | * SecretKeeper: So far, Featherweight and Cheerilee are the only ones who know about Pip's powers. |
| 423 | * TeenGenius: Dinky seems to be one, befitting the counterpart of Franklin Richards. For example, she thinks reprogramming a robot is easier than making friends. |
| 424 | * TeleportersAndTransporters: Dinky has teleportation powers. WordOfGod says that she also [[ThinkingUpPortals creates portals]]. |
| 425 | * ATrueStoryInMyUniverse: How A-H explains Time Turner being Dinky's Dad, [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor Whooves]] showing up at one point in another story, and the existence of a TV show in universe (that takes its name from ''Film/AnAdventureInSpaceAndTime''). Basically, according to WordOfGod the Doctor we see is the Ninth, while the TV show came about when the Doctor visited a bored writer who ran with the idea. |
| 426 | * TheUnfavorite: Filthy clearly cares more about Diamond Tiara and her "condition" than Featherweight. |
| 427 | * TheUnmasquedWorld: Apparently mutants are relatively common knowledge. |

| 431 | !! SIDE STORIES: |
| 432 | |
| 433 | Due to the projected size of the ''Harmony's Warriors'' universe, side stories are frequently used to help fill in the gaps and tell a story that otherwise might not be enough to carry an entire full length story. So far, there is only one side story, but more are planned. |
| 434 | |
| 435 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''The Collective History of Asgard'']] |
| 436 | * AbusiveParents: Implied. Edvard used to cry and beg the Borrson priests to save him from them. |
| 437 | ** More obviously Erik was one to Odin, '''knocking his eye out''' with his scepter. '''In front of his granddaughter'''. |
| 438 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Subverted. Edvard eventually returns the Flutter Pony Queen's affections. |
| 439 | * AllThereInTheManual: The entire story itself functions as a sort of manual to the history and mythology of the ''Harmony's Warriors'' universe, so that other stories could avoid an unnecessary InfoDump. |
| 440 | * AlphaBitch: Sunset Shimmer, much to the chagrin of her sisters. |
| 441 | * AMatchMadeInStockholm: Subverted. Edvard doesn't fall in love with the Flutter Pony Queen until she lets him return home and then after years of communicating with each other via letters. |
| 442 | * AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Aahnyas and Saffyra's [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sons]] and [[FalseRapeAccusation daughters]] exploit this trope. |
| 443 | * AssholeVictim: Aahnyas and Saffyra [[spoiler: and their sons.]] |
| 444 | * AxCrazy: There's a reason that Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Sunset's grandfather was called Erik '''the Mad'''. |
| 445 | * BabiesEverAfter: The Flutter Pony Queen and Edvard. |
| 446 | * BigBrotherBully: Sunset Shimmer, though her sisters, especially Celestia, don't stand for it. |
| 447 | * BigScrewedUpFamily: The Borrsons both past and present. |
| 448 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Flutter Ponies consider being able to bend rules an admirable character trait. |
| 449 | * {{Bookworm}}: Luna. |
| 450 | * BurnBabyBurn: Erik the Mad almost succeeds in burning his entire palace down. |
| 451 | * ClingyJealousGirl: The Flutter Pony Queen. She changes when her jealousy nearly causes the death of her lover. |
| 452 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Majere, the royal family's magical adviser. |
| 453 | * CrazyJealousGuy: The Flutter Pony King has shades of this. |
| 454 | * CultureClash: The Borrsons and the Flutter Ponies. |
| 455 | * DestructiveRomance: The Flutter Pony Queen's obsession with Edvard inadvertently leads to [[spoiler: Edvard's father and brothers being murdered. Also Edvard himself nearly ends up dying due to her efforts to keep him with her.]] |
| 456 | * DistantPrologue: It is set a good while before ''Soar'' since Celestia and Luna are fillies. And the stories Luna collects are set even further back. |
| 457 | * DisproportionateRetribution: One of Aahnyas and Saffyra's sons raped Jarl's daughter so she would be obliged by law to marry him, leading to her suicide while pregnant. Jarl counters by murdering Aahnyas and all his sons except Edvard. |
| 458 | * DotingParent: Frigga makes it obvious that she deeply loves and cares for each of her daughters. |
| 459 | * DreamingOfThingsToCome: Cadence apparently has this ability. |
| 460 | * DumpThemAll: The Flutter Pony Queen does this to her five husbands during her attempts to woo Edvard (as Borrson law forbids polygamy). |
| 461 | * TheEeyore: How Sunset perceives Luna. |
| 462 | * EvilMatriarch: Saffyra. Even her children weren't sad to see her go. |
| 463 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sunset (choleric), Celestia (sanguine), Luna (melancholic), Cadence (phlegmatic). |
| 464 | * TheFairFolk: The Flutter Ponies take this role in the universe. |
| 465 | * FreudianExcuse: Erik's descent to madness was caused by the deaths of his wife and five-year-old son. |
| 466 | ** Sunset's MightMakesRight mindset was triggered when she saw how her grandfather got away with his insanity because he was the All-Father. Also Odin's cold demeanor seems to come from dealing with his father's instability. |
| 467 | * HappilyMarried: Odin and Frigga. Erik and Vasilisa are implied to have been this. |
| 468 | * HeroicLineage: The Borrsons, despite being named for Bor, take intense pride in being descendants of the first [[FamousAncestor All-Mother Faust.]] |
| 469 | * InsaneEqualsViolent: Erik hit Odin in the face with Gungnir during [[HairTriggerTemper an argument]] and burns his house down. |
| 470 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: The Borrsons do seem to have a bit of hereditary madness -- aside from Erik's total insanity, Odin is shown to have developed quite a violent temper after becoming All-Father. And then there's [[RoyalBrat Sunset]], who also shows signs of madness at a young age. |
| 471 | * InterspeciesRomance: A passing line suggests that a teenage Celestia is dating Discord. |
| 472 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Sunset is convinced that, as heir, everyone should shower her with attention, and any shown to anyone else -- especially Celestia -- is an unforgivable insult. |
| 473 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The Flutter Pony Queen lets Edvard go after seeing how much her obsession with him is hurting him. |
| 474 | * KarmicDeath: Aahnyas, Saffyra, and their sons. |
| 475 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Aahnyas and Saffyra. Also their sons. |
| 476 | * LoveAtFirstSight: The Flutter Pony Queen to Edvard. |
| 477 | * LoveMakesYouCrazy: This is what everyone thinks is happening to the Flutter Pony Queen, really it's more of a case of... |
| 478 | * LoveMakesYouDumb: The Flutter Pony Queen neglects her royal duties, dismisses her culture, offends her family and her people, all because of her love for Edvard. |
| 479 | * LoveRedeems: The Flutter Pony Queen eventually becomes less selfish for [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Edvard's sake.]] |
| 480 | * LoveRuinsTheRealm: Narrowly averted. The Flutter Pony King nearly convinces his subjects that this is what's happening but luckily the Flutter Queen knows her people well enough to counter this. |
| 481 | * LoveMartyr: The Flutter Pony Queen becomes this when she finally lets Edvard go. |
| 482 | * MadOracle: Luna saw her grandfather as this. Sunset and Celestia regarded him as a TalkativeLoon. |
| 483 | * TheMagnificent: Erik the Mad and his wife Vasilisa the Lovely. |
| 484 | * ManipulativeBastard: Faust's daughter Midian, who with once short speech propels a SuccessionCrisis into a civil war. Though Luna herself subverts this in her notes, saying no one person (or pony) is entirely accountable for the actions of others. |
| 485 | * MeaningfulName: All of Faust's children. |
| 486 | * MoralityChain: Erik's wife and youngest son seem to have been this for him, as well as a LivingEmotionalCrutch. Once they were gone, [[UnstoppableRage there was nothing holding him back.]] |
| 487 | * NastyParty: Jarl and his men murder Aahnyas and his sons at Edvard's wedding feast. |
| 488 | * NightmareFetishist: Luna comes across as this, given her love of all stories, even the scary ones, and her lack of foresight that sharing them might disturb others. |
| 489 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: What drove Luna's grandmother to her death. |
| 490 | * OverlyLongName: The full title of the story is "The Collective History of Equinsgard as Salvaged from All-Father Erik the Mad's Burning of Archives by Luna Odinmaiden". Readers have commented that it's the longest story title (for a fanfic, anyway) that they've ever read. |
| 491 | * ParentalFavoritism: Luna believes Odin favors Sunset out of all his daughters, though it is implied he also permits Celestia's flirty manner and is not immune to Cadence's sweetness. |
| 492 | * ParentalObliviousness: Odin seems unaware of how bad Sunset's bullying is, how inappropriate Celestia's behavior has become, or how unloved by him Luna feels. When the three sisters argue they even threaten to expose each other's bad habits to him. Thankfully, their mother is clearly not so oblivious. |
| 493 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Jarl to Aahnyas and his sons. Subverted with Edvard. |
| 494 | * TheQuietOne: Luna. |
| 495 | * RapeAsDrama: One of Aahnyas and Saffyra's sons raped Jarl's daughter which lead to [[DrivenToSuicide her death]] and [[PapaWolf Jarl's]] [[ActionDad roaring]] [[RapeAndRevenge rampage.]] |
| 496 | * RemovingTheRival: The Flutter Pony King towards Edvard. |
| 497 | * TheResenter: The Flutter Pony King to Edvard. |
| 498 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Jarl and again subverted with Edvard. |
| 499 | * RoyalBrat: Sunset thinks that as eldest sister and heir to the throne, she can treat her sisters like servants. And be even worse to the ''actual'' servants. |
| 500 | ** Celestia becomes this during her teen years, caring only about her own desires and mouthing off to her mother when chastised. |
| 501 | * RoyallyScrewedUp: Erik the Mad. Some of Faust's children are implied to have been this as well. |
| 502 | * SanitySlippage: Happened to Erik after the death of his wife and young son. |
| 503 | * ShipTease: Filly Luna and colt Sombra. |
| 504 | * SiblingRivalry: It's made clear that even at a young age, Celestia and Sunset did not get along. |
| 505 | * SpoiledBrat: Sunset is the favorite of Odin's daughters and she knows it. |
| 506 | * TheStoic: Odin is so fierce in projecting this persona that his own daughters are stunned when he [[NotSoStoic cries at his parent's funeral.]] |
| 507 | * SympatheticMurderer: Jarl. |
| 508 | * TheDogBitesBack: Jarl. |
| 509 | * ThinkHappyThoughts: Celestia's philosophy in the face of the death of her grandparents and young uncle. |
| 510 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: How everyone speaks of Vasilios. Understandable, since he was only five when he died. |
| 511 | * UnbrokenVigil: The Flutter Pony Queen sits outside of Edvard's room and refuses to eat or drink anything when he falls deathly ill after she threatens and throws his younger sister out of her house. |
| 512 | * TheUnfavourite: Luna believes herself to be this. |
| 513 | * UpbringingMakesTheHero: Thoroughly averted. Edvard's parents are total [[{{Jerkass}} jerks.]] |
| 514 | * VillainousLineage: Averted. Aahnyas and Saffyra are horrible people but their son Edvard is a [[NiceGuy great guy.]] |
| 515 | * YoureJustJealous: The Flutter Ponies to the Flutter Pony King after being talked down by the Flutter Pony Queen. |
| 516 | * YouKilledMyFather: Subverted. Edvard originally wants revenge for his family's murder, until he finds out how awful they were. |
| 517 | * YourNormalIsOurTaboo: The Flutter Ponies practice [[MarryThemAll polygamy.]] The Borrsons do not. |
| 518 | * {{Yandere}}: The Flutter Pony Queen at first. |

| 520 | |
| 521 | [[folder: Tropes present in ''Harmony's Warrior's Longbox Anthology Vol 1'']] |
| 522 | |
| 523 | !! TROTTINGHAM PINK: A three parter, join Pinkie Pie and her sister Marble Pie as they are tasked to protect an important political figure from a mysterious assassin who has a surprising connection to our heroes. |
| 524 | * AlternateIdentityAmnesia: It's strongly indicated during [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind Lin's Soul Gaze]], that Pinkie has little to no memory of anything Pinkamena does, and apparently vice-versa. Considering that Pinkamena is AxCrazy, that's probably a blessing. |
| 525 | * AxCrazy: Pinkamena. |
| 526 | * CainAndAbel: The assassin after Lin turns out to be [[spoiler: Marble and Pinkie's sister Limestone]]. |
| 527 | * ContinuityNod: ''Trottingham Pink'' has several references to the events of ''Soar'', and at the end of the story, Pinkie receives a letter from Fluttershy (who she befriended at the end of ''Flutterhulk''), detailing her progress in controlling her alternate side. |
| 528 | * EasilyForgiven: Pinkie has no problem forgiving Lin for nearly killing her and using a [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Soul Gaze]] on her without her permission. It helps that a soul gaze is a two-way street, so Pinkie was able to see into Lin's mind at the same time and see that Lin is a good person at heart. |
| 529 | ** Marble describes Pinkie as a very forgiving person in general, and she usually forgives right of the bat (and that they don't talk about when that doesn't happen). Pinkie's reply about giving ponies a second chance implies that it's partially because she was given a second chance after what Pinkamena did. |
| 530 | ** [[spoiler:Pinkie's also hopeful that she and Marble can reach their sister Limestone again someday]]. |
| 531 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Limestone genuinely cares for Pinkie, and is regretful when she finds out that she hurt her]]. |
| 532 | * {{Expy}}: The senator Pinkie and Marble were sent to defeat is a pony version of [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Lin Beifong]]. |
| 533 | * FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:Limestone not realizing the pink mare she was facing was her sister]]. |
| 534 | * HandicappedBadass: It's revealed that the [[NoodleIncident mission in Istanbull]] left Pinkie permanently deaf. Fortunately, Twilight was able to design some advanced hearing aids to synthesize hearing for her. |
| 535 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Senator Lin may not be the nicest person around, but she's a good person at heart, trying to make things better. |
| 536 | * JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Lin, at Marble's insistence, uses a Soul Gaze to enter Pinkie's mind in order to see the... [[JekyllAndHyde complicated]] relationship between her and Pinkamena. This takes the form of finding herself on the Pie Family Rock Farm surrounded by Pinkie's memories, and it's implied that Pinkamena is locked in the farmhouse. And it's at this point that a psionic construct of Cupcake kicks Lin out of her patient's mind before she can accidentally wake up Pinkamena. |
| 537 | ** It's later revealed that Pinkie saw Lin's mind at the same time. |
| 538 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Limestone is honestly regretful that she attacked Pinkie unknowingly]]. |
| 539 | * TheNicknamer: Pinkie likes giving her friends nicknames. For example, she calls Lin "Linny" |
| 540 | * NoodleIncident: Pinkie and Twilight are temporarily banned from working together, after a mission in Istanbull that involved a refrigerator blowing up. And it somehow left Pinkie permanently deaf. The Doctor also apparently wanted to take Pinkie and Twilight to the twenty-third century for some reason, with Pinkie ending up with his Sonic Screwdriver. |
| 541 | ** Apparently Sam, Dean, Fetlock and Trotson are busy dealing with a mess on an island off of southern Guoxia involving a big rat, zombies and hellhounds. |
| 542 | ** We also only see a little of the stuff that Bullseye/Pinkamena was up to. |
| 543 | * PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Pinkie lacking Pinkamena's memories meant that Pinkie didn't know that Limestone was waiting for Pinkamena to contact her after the mission that got her captured, causing Limestone to believe that she'd been captured or worse. This leads to Pinkie getting seriously injured by Limestone]]. |
| 544 | * ReligiousBruiser: Pinkie is revealed to have strong religious beliefs that serve to help her cope with the unpleasant things she's forced to do as part of her job. |
| 545 | * SiblingTeam: Pinkie and Marble. |
| 546 | ** [[spoiler:Apparently Pinkie and Limestone used to work together to some degree]]. |
| 547 | * ThouShallNotKill: Marble doesn't like to be called a killer, and prefers to use lethal force as a last resort only. |
| 548 | * TrainingFromHell: What the Pie sisters received from their father, which is heavily implied to be what gave Pinkie her split personality. |
