Goldfur's Stories About Ponies provides examples of:
- God in Human Form: Tigerbright is aware of Rakshani deities and encounters one on the Star Phoenix. It looks much like the deities encountered on the Folly. When Violet sees him, she sees an equine deity. Twilight actually has an explanation.Twilight: "You’re both equally right and wrong. Sojourner is an ascended being, at least a couple of levels higher than an alicorn. Rakshan deities have transcended the need for a physical body. How anyone perceives him or any of his kind depends on species and cultural expectations. Tigerbright saw him as a felinoid while we saw him as an equinoid. If we were to ask the crew of the Star Phoenix what he looked like, I would wager that we would get different answers yet again."
- Unsurprisingly, one of the commenters made a comment about Vorlons.
- Loophole Abuse: In chapter 21 (About Face) of Cosmic Lotus, we learn that Admiral Kline has engaged in some creative reinterpretation of instructions from his boss.
- Noodle Incident: Violet's mother, Fireball created some flaming waffles that inspire fear on the part of alicorn prince Destined Path. Years later.
- Orion Drive: Cosmic Lotus uses the magical variant of an Orion drive to slow down after reaching a good percentage of the speed of light.
- Shout-Out: Twilight and Violet have just confirmed that a trans-galactic magic energy recharging beam has one end on Luna's moon. Princess Luna, who knows her moon like the side of her hoof calls this revelation "Inconceivable!" Tigerbright promptly quotes The Princess Bride to cast doubt on Luna's use of inconceivable. Luna is unimpressed with Tigerbright's explanation, so the chakat acquires a copy of the film from the ship's crew to share with the Equestrians.
- Timey-Wimey Ball: Quantum Gallop is This Trope: The Book. Each chapter is a new Stable Time Loop. sometimes, more than one.
- Worthless Yellow Rocks: As is so common with MLP:FiM crossovers, Equestria and its ability to produce gemstones as common as gravel, yet highly valuable in human worlds.Violet: "You don’t know her like we do. I’ll bet ten flawless rubies to your one that she’s been up all night researching all the implications of what her son told her."Tigerbright: ... "I’ve known you for two weeks and I already know better than to take you up on that bet. Also, stop trying to bankrupt me with your common Equestrian gravel. Rubies don’t grow on trees or rock farms or whatever like they do in this magical place."...
