Here are some more tropes for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
• Freeze-Frame Bonus: In an audio reading image in the first chapter, when Twilight mourns Starlight's death, you can see a pony standing behind her in the dark. It is revealed in the final chapter that it was Apple Bloom.
• Hidden Villain: Throughout the story, you're meant to think that a vengeful Applejack is the villain, only for it to be revealed that Applejack was a hallucination caused by Twilight and her friends being exposed to the Sleepless Potion by Apple Bloom, the true villain of the story.
• Jump Scare: After remembering when she found her father's dead body in the orchard 7 years ago, Rarity is frightened by her window being smashed by a syringe thrown from outside.
• Neck Snap: While fighting all of her animal friends, Fluttershy snaps Harry the bear's neck. It is later revealed that she accidentally snapped Angel Bunny's neck while trying to save him from Applejack.
• Not Brainwashed: It is revealed that Fluttershy's animals were not brainwashed by Applejack, but she hallucinated that they were and also hallucinated Applejack being there because she was exposed to the Sleepless Potion.
• Playing With Fire: When she tries to stop Applejack from drinking more potions, Twilight misses when Applejack dodges a magical blast with super-speed, causing the blast to hit a bookshelf, burning the journals that are on it.

- Ahsoka's lightsaber duel with Cato, the non-Force Sensitive shapeshifting bounty hunter impersonating Jocasta Nu, has some impressive sword work and acrobatics on both sides that makes Ahsoka's Pretender Diss after capturing Cato feel rather unfair.
@ Star Wars: Legacy – One Sith
- Intimate Marks: Some of her tattoos run through both sides of her loincloth.
- While the series marketing occasionally emphasizes how both Empires have started accepting non-human stormtroopers and naval officers, unlike their predecessor organization, few if any of these colorful characters (Kel Dor Admiral and persistent Stazi pursuer Sha Dun, Yinchori, Kaleesh, and Devorianian stormtroopers who accompany Darth Wyyrlok III in Issue #31, Admiral Kelan's Nikto aide and a Weequay stormtrooper and some Zabreak technicians in his fleet in Issue #36, a Talz stormtrooper in a sourcebook picture, a Trandoshan squad accompanying Ania Solo, etc.) never appear in more than a few panels, even during the Lower-Deck Episode focusing on stormtroopers that introduces Anson Trask and Joker Squad.
- Several William W Johnstone Western novels tend to give the villains toxic and complicated families worthy of a soap opera, although a few stand out.
- Jud Vale, the Big Bad of The Last Mountain Man: Law of the Mountain Man is the kid brother of benevolent rancher Walt and seduced and impregnated the Gold Digger wife of his nephew (a weak-willed party boy) before killing the younger man For the Evulz. Jud's son Clint is a Really Gets Around Just Like Robin Hood outlaw who constantly targets Jud and occasionally retreats to isolated spots to avoid hurting anyone during his violent delusions (something he inherited from Jud, who sometimes thinks he's a European king or an Arab sheik and demands to be treated as such), with Walt and Clint both being ready to kill Jud if they get the chance and Jud returning the sentiment. Clint has a son with his ex-fling Doreen, who Walt and his wife took in, and learning that Clint had her has Jud obsessed with seducing her himself (she isn't interested).
- Ranchers Bull Sutton and John Carlin from Blood Bond Devil Creek Crossfire have spent years feuding over who gets to be the local bigshot and have thirteen kids between them, most of whom are spoiled hooligans, while the only two decent ones have become Star-Crossed Lovers. Then it turns out that John and Bull are half-brothers who never knew about their relationship and that the local banker is Bull's full brother and wants to pit them against each other with the help of all their kids (several of whom John and Bull are forced to kill) besides the Surprise Incest Star-Crossed Lovers and take over both their ranches. But he's also being manipulated by another half-brother and their uncle (the four men's father having been shot by a jealous husband) who also want to take over the territory but want a scapegoat for their misdeeds.
- Did Suzanne cheat on Terry because he was abusing her, or did he start abusing her because she cheated on him? Or, splitting the difference, did she feel fine cheating on him because she subconsciously recognized the signs that he'd be the kind of person to abuse her?
- Lynn Sr.'s Oh, Crap! reaction and failed excuses when Lincoln "generously" volunteers to babysit Lily so Lynn Sr. can go visit his wife's Aunt Ruth and do all the chores for her that Lincoln normally does.
- Stepford Smiler: Lucy is steadfast and flippant about many of Sir Simon's hauntings (both before and after learning he's a real ghost and not a hoax), but all without losing the smile on her face, talks to her husband about how the constant uncertainty of what's going on and relentless nature of all the Jump Scares is getting to her and she can't wait to leave.
- The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Aelinor's manservant Gwilherm went to the guillotine during The French Revolution.
@ Galactic Alliance
- The Strategist: He's a rare New Republic/Galactic Alliance officer mentioned in the same breath as Grand Admiral Thrawn (being a realistic computer simulation of Thrawn before ever seeing his first battle) and tends to have intricate plans that he can learn from whenever they fail.
- Token Good Teammate: He serves Daala dutifully and with some warmth before her paranoia makes her as bad as she was in her warlord days, but also tries to talk her out of bad decisions and maintain channels with the Solos and the Jedi, unlike much of her government.
- The Brigadier: From his space station, he comes up with plans that involve effective and complicated uses of large forces while also rallying outside forces to join his forces through a Rousing Speech Epic Hail.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: He refuses to keep following Fey'lya's orders when doing so will leave planets and refugees in the Outer Rim vulnerable to slaughter.
- Secret-Keeper: He doesn't out Nina as a Yuuzhan Vong defector until she's ready to do so herself, despite being unsettled by the reveal.

I have some more trope entries to check for spelling and grammar errors:
- Adaptational Karma: While Yul does get his comeuppance in the canon season after getting dumped by Grett and eliminated from the show, he also gotten 100k from Riya’s prize money since he was Riya’s helper and she won the season. Since Yul doesn’t become a helper for any of the finalists here, he doesn’t get a 100k of the prize money no matter who won the show.
- Arch-Enemy:
- Aside from Bowie and Julia maintaining their rivalry from Total Drama, they also become mortal enemies for Riya during the crossover. Bowie becomes Riya’s enemy once his intentions to turn against the Villains’ Alliance is exposed with Bowie going disgusted at the villainous lengths she is willing to go to stay in the competition and becomes personal for him when she eliminates his close friend Damien, while Julia comes to hate Riya for trying to turn Julia’s Best Friend and Love Interest, MK, against Julia. On Riya’s end, she views both Bowie and Julia as her biggest threats in the game, trying to get them eliminated from the competition, eventually succeeding in eliminating Julia before Riya herself is eliminated by Bowie, who then proceeds to rub it in Riya.
- Though Gabby has had intense rivalry with the likes of Aiden, Yul, Jake, Priya, Riya, and Ally, the one being who could truly be Gabby’s main enemy is her evil hallucination who has been tormenting Gabby ever since she returned after the Comeback challenge, where the hallucination subjects Gabby to psychological abuse and manipulations, corrupting Gabby in the process. Gabby spends much of her time trying to deal with her hallucination, and eventually succeeds in getting rid of it be eliminated herself from the show, while vowing to get help so that it never returns to torment her.
- Ascended Extra: Gabby goes from being eliminated in 8th place in canon to being a finalist here, where she places 3rd in the finale. As a result of Gabby progressing further in the game, her hallucination goes from being a minor antagonist in both Season 1 and All-Stars to one of the main antagonists of the season before becoming the Final Boss.
- Ask a Stupid Question...: During the Truth Challenge, Ally asks Bowie who he wants gone from the competition the most. Bowie is offended by Ally’s question, only because of how dumb he thought it was, since he made it obvious he wants Riya gone, due to her being the most villainous contestant still in the game and has become an Arch-Enemy for him at this point.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Damien also joins Nice Girls Ally, Gabby, and Priya in giving Alec Death Glares upon learning that Alec doesn’t love his own son during the Truth challenge. Damien even asks Alec if he prefers Fiore over his biological child.
- Character Development: Continuing his development from the Rematch, Ripper becomes more mature and compassionate, during his stay in the competition to the point Alec actually considers Ripper heroic enough not to be included in the Villains’ Alliance. Ripper also becomes more comfortable performing good deeds, such as trying to get Grett to stand up to her abusive boyfriend Yul, convincing Connor to move on from Riya upon learning how toxic she is to Connor, and even warns the heroic contestants about the Villains’ Alliance after he’s been eliminated, despite gaining nothing from it.
- Disproportionate Retribution: While Chris never liked that he wasn’t called in to host the crossover season, he starts plotting on having the season cancel by having the remaining contestants killed after seeing that they stole one of his challenge ideas.
- Dramatic Irony: For all the discussion about contestants who had to be eliminated for the sake of their mental healths, no one ever brings up that Riya, the one person who needs the money the least and might benefit from leaving the game the most, is the most obsessed about staying and winning the competition. In fact, Riya actually ends up happier after being eliminated here, compared to how miserable she becomes after winning in her canon season; had Riya been eliminated she would been humbled enough to take responsibility for her villainous actions and apologized to those she hurt in the game where she would still be able to retain some connections of the contestants and join them in getting a Happy Ending, contrasting to winning the show and prize money where she’s too proud to take responsibility and apologize for the atrocities that she committed which leads to everyone cutting Riya out of their lives where she ends up all alone with a Meaningless Villain Victory.
- Everyone Has Standards: Ripper might be a bully who looks down on women, but even he doesn’t approve of Yul’s Domestic Abuse towards Grett, and even tries telling Grett to stand up for herself.
- Evil Counterpart: Riya is one to Raj. Both are competitors of of Indian descent who’s names begin with an R. However Raj is a simple-minded Lovable Jock who’s loyal to his friends and boyfriend Bowie, always strives to play fair during his stay in the competition, abhors cheating of any kind, and is a Graceful Loser should he ever get eliminated, while Riya is a manipulative Alpha Bitch who’s willing to betray all of her allies if it means getting further into the game, including her Love Interest Connor, becomes an Arch-Enemy for Bowie contend with, believes that playing dirty is the only way to win the competition, and is a Sore Loser whenever she fails to win the show.
- Foil: Tess is this to Priya once they are placed on the Cyan team. Both are All Loving Heroes who develop a close friendships with Damien, a Ship Tease with another contestant (Caleb and Hunter respectively), are Heterosexual Life-Partners with a Lovable Nerd (Millie and Ally respectively) and have experience going into foster care. However, Priya is a petite Genki Girl with an unstable temper, while Tess is a calm Statuesque Stunner who’s more in control of her emotions. While, Priya romance with Caleb becomes turbulent, especially during the merge, before they reconcile and become an Official Couple, Tess’s romance with Hunter started off stable but ended up being Just Friends after Hunter hooked up with Ally. The circumstance of how they got into fosters are also different with Priya going into during her teen years once the extant of her parents’ abuse was revealed, while Tess had good parents, but they died while she was a child.
- History Repeats: This is now the second time, that an evil personality has become the Big Bad of an All-Stars season after all of the previous antagonists have been eliminated. In this case, it’s Gabby’s evil hallucination who comeback after the Comeback challenge.
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy Aside from retaining this dynamic with Priya, Damien is also the Feminine Boy to Tess’ Masculine Girl. While not as competitive as Priya, Tess is very calm in lots of situations, to the point of being The Stoic at times, and is a lot braver than Damien, who is a Nervous Wreck who frequently panics and screams a lot.
- Mirror Character:
- There are a few characters that parallel Yul:
- When Evil Gabby returns in the All-Stars season she becomes quite similar to Yul. Both are Sadistic Card Carrying Villains who use psychological abuse and manipulation to keep the people closest to them under their control (Gabby and Grett respectively), only to cower and beg for mercy when their victims stands up to them, where Gabby and Grett then proceed to cut them out of their lives.
- Chris McLean end up becoming this to Yul. Though Chris is a host of a reality TV show and Yul is a competitor of one, they both are childish sadists who hurt and torment other people For the Evulz, have had Emily’s help at one point of the All-Stars season, and end up receiving Laser-Guided Karma for their cruel and abusive actions. It’s also worth noting that as a result being The Irredeemable Exceptions, both Chris and Yul are the only people to obtain Downer Endings while everyone else manages to achieve their Happy Ending to some degree.
- Though Lake only appears at the beginning of the show, she shares a lot of similarities with Priya, which is emphasized when Priya takes Lake’s place in the season here. Both are Nice Girls who had Abusive Parents who were led to believe that they had their best interests at heart only to learn the extant of how abusive and controlling they were to them. Of course, Lake rejected the offer to compete in All-Stars so she can still process the trauma of her parents’ abuse, while Priya accepted the offer to compete so she can prove that she doesn’t need her parents’ guidance to win a reality show.
- There are a few characters that parallel Yul:
- Pair the Spares: Both Tess and Damien decide to pair up during their time on the Cyan team, after Tess gets separated from Hunter and Ally as a result of the two being placed on a different team, and Damien’s closest friend, Priya, gets eliminated.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Even though Caleb doesn’t win the prize money, he finally becomes Official Couple with Priya after spending much of the merge trying to reconcile with her which makes Caleb so happy that he felt like he did win the show, before joining her and everyone else in celebrating Wayne’s victory.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: Gi-hun eventually becomes the Korean equivalent of Katniss Everdeen where they both become unexpected winners and survivors of a Deadly Game, only to return to the competition games to dismantle the games from within, where they try to enact their rebellion, save the lives of their fellow contestants, and bring those responsible for running these horrific games to justice.
- Expy: Thanos is one to Yul from Disventure Camp. Like Yul, Thanos is a sociopathic Jerkass competing in a Deadly Game, is a renowned musical performer from Korea, and serves as the most overtly villainous contestant only to end up being a Disc-One Final Boss of his second season.
- Corrupted Character Copy: Nam-gyu is one to MK from Total Drama. Both MK and Nam-gyu who compete in a deadly games and team up with a villainous yet minor celebrity (Julia and Thanos respectively) in the second season of their respective shows as a result of having similar Jerkass personalities. However, MK actually comes to like Julia where the two form a genuine Villainous Friendship, while Nam-gyu reveals that he always hated Thanos and is only concern about taking Thanos’s drugs for himself when he dies. Also, for all of MK’s negative qualities, she doesn’t end up becoming an Ax-Crazy murderer like Nam-gyu.
- Villainous Friendship: Nam-gyu ends up forming a friendship with the equally sociopathic Thanos as they are usually seen together, where bond over getting screwed over by Myung-gi, do drugs together, bullying and killing other players in the game, and having the games continue to get more money. Subverted when it’s revealed that Nam-gyu never really liked Thanos to begin with, only stayed with him to keep himself safe, and when Thanos was killed, Nam-gyu’s only concerned was taking obtaining his drugs from Thanos’ corpse.
- Arch-Enemy: Near the end of All-Stars, Riya has become Jake’s worst enemy, with Jake hating Riya immensely when she sabotaged his attempt to reconcile with Ally. The feeling becomes mutual for Riya when Jake becomes her final opponent to in claiming the 3 million dollars where her obsession to defeating Jake reaches its boiling point after he has gotten everyone to support him over her, causing her on wanting to hurt him badly during the final challenge. Unlike with Jake’s previous rivalries, this is the only conflict left unresolved when Jake joins all the other eliminated contestants to permanently cutting Riya out of their lives, and while Riya did managed to beat Jake in the finale and claim the prize money for herself, it’s Riya who becomes jealous of Jake’s life rather than the other way around, since Jake has everything Riya really wanted in her life: friends, a loving partner, being Loved by All, everyone’s support, and happiness in his life, while she’s ends up completely miserable after ending all alone for being Hated by All.

My sandbox of EPs and other stuffThanks, Arivne.
YMMV.Beauty And The Beast 1991
- Unnecessary Makeover: Despite the Prince's beast form being regarded as a hideous monster In-Universe, many fans ended up preferring his Beast appearance over his human form, which is regarded as being uncanny and ugly by detractors. Some argue his transformation back into a handsome prince also flies in the face of the film's message of not being deceived by outward appearances message. As a result, it's not uncommon for fan-works to either have him keep his Beast form or to redesign his human form to better resemble the Beast.

Here are some tropes for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
• Age Lift: With seven years having passed since the first story, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom are teenagers.
• Cradling Your Kill: When Starlight dies from having her throat slit by Twilight, the latter, without knowing that she was the one who killed her, cradles Starlight's dead body.
• Dying Clue: In the first chapter, a dying Starlight gives a few clues that it was Twilight, not Applejack, who slit her throat. First, she asks Applejack "Why?", even though she should know that Applejack did it because Starlight had replaced her as the Element of Honesty. Second, when Twilight watches her die, Starlight looks at her in fear.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: When Applejack visits Twilight and Rarity, the former describes her voice as "a deep grackle, and a roughness akin to somepony dying of first", and the latter describes it as a "deep, raspy drawl".
• Frying Pan of Doom: A variation of this trope is when Pinkie Pie throws a saucepan of sticky, hot caramel at Applejack, causing the latter to scream out in pain and anger.
• Laughing Mad: Applejack laughs evilly twice in the story. The first time is when she's fighting Starlight in the unicorn 's bedroom and the second is after Rainbow Dash realises that she, not a demonic Applejack, killed Soarin
• Tap on the Head: While she grieves Starlight's death, Twilight is knocked out by a blunt object slammed into the back of her head.

@ Awesome Loud House
- The number of everyday places Luan has pranks hidden in, even the refrigerator and stove, is darkly impressive.
- The other siblings ganging up on Luan and locking her in a cage before April Fool's Day so she can't break them may fail but was a good effort.
- Lisa has a military-grade bunker to hide in and gets her parents to sign a contract promising not to punish her for her experiments exploding.

Thanks a ton @ Chekhov's Gunman
- The Last Gunfighter: The Burning (by William W Johnstone): Mike Rogers, the youngest child of villainous Cattle Baron Mark Rogers Sr., is only mentioned in passing twice in the first 189 pages of the 266 book before an innocent comment about how he's always been the White Sheep of the family causes the heroes to realize that if they can convince or force Mike's brother to step down as head of the family (their father was just institutionalized and quickly died there), then that will bring an end to the range war.
@ awesome loud house
- All of the Crazy-Prepared warning notes Lola leaves on her room, including how her diary seems to start to reveal an incriminating secret and then has a The Tape Knew You Would Say That query about if they really think she is dumb enough to write stuff like that in her diary.
- Tsunami: Mayor Silva spends most of the book as a casually-dressed mildly shady Obstructive Bureaucrat, but once it becomes clear that the tsunami warnings are accurate, he impresses a local highway patrol officer by making the reluctant cop listen to him and then laying out a detailed and accurate description of the roads the authorities need to close to keep out-of-town gawkers out of the danger zone when they arrive like they always do for disasters, as well as having a list of which roads and houses are above the wave's likely danger zone and which need to be cleared out.
@ ensemble Legends
- Sivron's silently-suffering Hyper-Competent Sidekick Captain Fredja only appears in a few scenes and is only named All There in the Manual, but has more fans than some more prominent characters from the trilogy.
- The Maw Installation is a location example, with a lot of fans loving the idea of an Imperial superweapon think tank that helped design the Death Star, had a prototype of it, and is secluded in a black hole.
- Gantoris may be the only Jedi apprentice to die in the trilogy, but his origins, skills, and complex interactions with Luke and Kun make him a fan favorite people wish had lasted longer.
- The Running Gag of Kit Fisto and Wolfe trying to figure out how old Plo Koon is during In Service of the Republic, and his Mathematician's Answer responses.
- The way Ahsoka goes from gloating to having an Oh, Crap! moment in The Wind Raiders of Taloraan when she defeats some local collaborators only to realize she is standing right in front of two droidekas.
- Rex and Cody silently commend a trooper for setting off a large explosion to keep a droid spy from escaping, then remind him of his responsibility to clean up the mess.
- Pilf Mukmuk and his many failed attempts to drug Obi-Wan and Anakin.
- Shahan Alama narrowly survives the crossfire of a battle, only to crash land in the backyard of Hondo Ohnaka, who says that he will be happy to host a fellow Weequay…while he finds out who is chasing Shahan and how much they will pay for him.
@ Star Wars: The Clone Wars Schrödinger's Canon Pre-Continuity Reboot Works
- From The webcomic
- Gobi Glee composed a stirring ballad about what a hero to their people Cham is, with Cham being a Humble Hero about it.
- Sanya and the local villagers joking together about the Republic in the comics:
- Anakin and Jyl talking about their time growing up together and some dignitaries thanking Anakin for the respect his visit shows and letting him leave early to help his friends are two nice moments in The Starcrusher Trap.
- The podrace between Anakin and Tofen Vane at the beginning of Hero of the Confederacy is a nice bonding moment.
- In Darth Maul: Death Sentence, it is the Darkest Hour for the Moorjhoni natives who were convinced Darth Maul was The Chosen One of their prophecies, The Demon in the Light, because of his horns and tattoos, only for him to trick them into a pointless and deadly battle where they are being fired upon by clones rather than making it to a cavern shelter in time to avoid being burned to death as they watch Maul coldly abandon them. Then, as Young and in Charge Jatenne is huddled on the ground, bracing for the impact of a blaster bolt, near-Trandoshan Master Judd leaps between the Moorjhoni and the line of fire to harmlessly deflect the bolts, orders the clones to stop firing, and then starts helping the Moorjhoni get inside to safety. As he extends his hand to Jatenne to help her up and she looks at his scaly Face Framed in Shadow, she realizes the prophecy was real and that Judd is the Demon in the Light (a monitor that gruff Blood Knight Judd seems to consider a touching source of peace after hearing it from her).
- In Defenders of the Lost Temple:
- The friendship between insecure Padawan Rennax and Bunny-Ears Lawyer clown trooper Glitch. He asks her if she thinks he is defective for thinking he could be Force-sensitive and she discusses the possibility he could be and how the fact that he worries about it being any more than a born killer proves he isn't like that.
- The look Glitch makes every time he thinks about the Force, especially at the end when he has saved the day.
@ Star Wars: The Clone Wars Schrödinger's Canon Pre-Continuity Reboot Works
- From The webcomic:
- Occanda Farr and his despondency about Padmé not answering his latest message asking for aid.
- Shiv, one of the soldiers soon to be killed by the Talz on Orto Plutonia, still writes letters to an old training buddy of his who died in the war.
- In the comics:
- Almost everything about the last act of Hero of the Confederacy, Anakin struggles hard to keep his Friendly Enemy Tofen Vanr alive during their final battle but Tofen still dies in his arms from severe burn wounds, leaving behind a sad, tired, and angry mother and pregnant wife. And, while Count Dooku has been a particularly ruthless scheming snake throughout the story, his crushed expression after Lady Vane rejects his affection and makes it clear that she despises the man he has become after being so different when she met him can feel oddly humanizing.
- The suicide of the youthful-looking yet dead-eyed slave girl who failed to assassinate her cruel master and the mass enslavement of Tortugans from Slaves of the Republic are no less painful in comic form than in their animated adaptation.
- In Darth Maul: Death Sentence:
- A wounded and helpless Dray watching Maul impale his beloved master.
- The local Blind Seer is murdered by Maul while, after a vision of his former Hope Bringer and rescuee Maul leading the seer's people to slaughter and dies without ever knowing that vision will be kept from coming true.
- Rather than show any brotherly love or sentiment about Savage Oppress, Maul simply says that he needs his help while seeking to rescue his captive brother.
- During his twisted version of Training the Peaceful Villagers, Maul gets mad at one villager for stopping to help his brother when he fell during an exercise. That man stands up to Maul, only to see his brother not stop to help him after Maul uses the Force to make him trip during the next training run.
- After coming so close to survival but then sacrificing himself to save everyone left outside, Master Judd has the most solemn look on his face for a few panels before managing to Go Out with a Smile.
- In The Enemy Within:
- Mauve Shirt trooper Crazy Legs is wounded too badly to continue with the mission and good-naturedly waves goodbye to the others as they leave while he gets out a distress beacon to set off. A voiceover from Banks reveals that the beacon failed to work, as the next panel shows a grim-faced Crazy Legs surrounded by droids in a Bolivian Army Ending.
- The ending is equal parts sad and heartwarming as Banks looks at his scratched helmet and then puts it on and tells his new General to call him Banks, the name he once hated, clearly thinking of Syke and the other fallen members of his squad, who urged him to embrace his name and his battle scars.

Here are more Foreshadowing for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
• Foreshadowing: When Twilight hands out checklists to all of her friends, Rarity mentions "a certain little assistant" not being around to help, but doesn't say their name, which hints at there being more than one assistant, as she doesn't say Spike's name.
° When Twilight tells Starlight that they have to tell their friends that Applejack has escaped from the prison, they hear noises coming from above them, so Starlight goes to check it out, but then Twilight finds Applejack in her secret lab that is hidden behind a secret passage behind her bed, hinting that the noises they heard were not real.
° When Twilight goes down to her secret lab, she finds the lock for the door broken, despite it being a magical lock, and Applejack is described as skeletal-looking, meaning she isn't physically capable of breaking it, hinting that somepony else broke the lock.
° When Twilight realises that Applejack has consumed all the potions in her lab, she says that the potions are dangerous for ponies to drink, but all they do is give Applejack super-speed, heightened vision, and, we learn in the next chapter, immunity to fire, hinting that Applejack isn't actually there drinking those potions.
° When Twilight tries to get into Starlight's bedroom to save her from Applejack, she tries blasting it open with magic, only for it to deflect, as if there was an invisible shield barring entrance, even though Twilight can hear Starlight and Applejack fighting inside, hinting that she is hearing things because of the Sleepless Potion.
° In the audio reading, when Fluttershy fearfully lunges towards Angel Bunny, you can hear a snapping sound, hinting that Fluttershy killed Angel by accidentally snapping his neck.
° In the audio reading image, when Applejack asks Rarity about the ponies who were in the orchard the night the former was cured of the Sleepless Potion, you can see a flash of red and yellow when lightning strikes at the mention of Apple Bloom's name, hinting that Apple Bloom is nearby.
° When Applejack is tearing up the tapestries that Rarity made for the memorial, the latter says that the former moved, even though Rarity says that she didn't hear a single hoofstep.
° In the audio reading image, when Rarity is lying on the floor after failing to kill Applejack with her sewing scissors, you can see blood on them, hinting that Rarity killed Sweetie Belle.

Persona 4: Arena - The Investigation Team
Yu Narukami
- Hypocritical Humor: He reprimands Chie in her joke ending for eating random food found in the TV World. This coming from the guy who a year ago, under the player's input, ate weird things that were found in his uncle's fridge a year (ranging from a pack of grass that were his cousin's science project, expired food that hardly resemble their original appearance, and mushrooms that grew at the back of the fridge).
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Chie's joke ending is one of the few times Yu is actually furious at someone outside the heat of battles or when Nanako is in danger.
For Unico: Awakening
- Decomposite Character: The reboot decomposed Shimashima from Tezuka's manga into two separate cats. Shimashima's heroism and becoming Chloe's lover after getting rescued from Byron is given to Toast. Shimashima (renamed Jinkins) is established as a newcomer to being a watch cat with Chloe reinforcing the importance of being the city's watch cat.
Here are some more Foreshadowing for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
° When Twilight reads the scroll about Applejack escaping Canterlot Prison, it says that the guards can't remember the past few days, hinting that the Sleepless Potion was used on them.
° When Twilight blasts magic at Applejack and misses every time, the latter mocks her for it, just like the hallucinations of Filthy Rich, Flim and Flam, and Trixie mocked Applejack in the first story.
° The Cake Twins are awakened by a noise coming from the kitchen caused by Pinkie baking treats, just like Apple Bloom in the first story, who was awakened by Applejack, who drank the Sleepless Potion the night before, making noise while preparing Zap Apple Jam in the kitchen, hinting that Pinkie Pie has been exposed to the Sleepless Potion.
° When Fluttershy notices that her emotions are negatively charged, she figures that she's exhausted, hinting that she's not been getting any sleep.
° Despite the fact that she lives in town, Rarity doesn't mention the fire at Sugarcube Corner, hinting that it isn't the same evening.
° When Rarity is struggling against Applejack in Sweetie Belle's room, she hopes that Sweetie is unconscious, even though Applejack said that she is going to make Rarity understand what it's like to lose a sister, hinting that Apple Bloom is still alive.
° When Applejack speaks to Pinkie and Rainbow, they don't believe that she's there. Pinkie believes she's hearing voices from not getting any sleep, and Rainbow says she's not real and can't hurt her because she believes that she's suffering from trauma from being in the same orchard where she fought Applejack 7 years ago.
