Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A pair of young pegasus ponies, Scootaloo and Orion, are getting ready for their final flight exam, which will either make their lives if they succeed, or break them if they fail. But during the exam, a pony twists her wings and catastrophically crashes before their eyes. A chain of events leads to all three of them failing the exam and being taken somewhere unknown, where the glorious city of Cloudsdale won't have to suffer failures such as them.But the exile turns out to be even worse than expected... Instead of being deported to some unknown land, the three find themselves inside the Rainbow Factory. Barely anything is known about the workings of this place, besides the fact that it produces rainbows. But now, the three are finally about to find out at the price of their lives where those beautiful rainbows gracing Equestria really come from... and to discover the horrifying truth behind Scootaloo's mentor, friend and hero... Rainbow Dash.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And Celestia help them all.Rainbow Factory was first written as a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-themed song by renowned brony musician Glaze, aka WoodenToaster. While it clearly suggests the cheerful Rainbow Factory depicted in the show is not all it seems, it leaves the actual details to one's imagination. Aurora Dawn later wrote a fanfiction based on the song. This contains canon character reinterpretation (as well as death) and is very grimdark.Find the song here and the fanfic here. Much like Cupcakes before it, there's also a dose of Nightmare Retardant in a parody here, courtesy of My Little Pony: The Mentally Advanced Series.Aurora Dawn wrote a sequel to Rainbow Factory, Pegasus Device, about a duo of foals trying to escape the factory as things begin to go wrong in there. The sequel is arguably Lighter and Softer than Rainbow Factory was, and adds a degree of philosophical depth to many of the antagonists.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Also inspired a number of Ask a Pony tumblrs, Ask Rainbow Factory Worker Scootaloo set in an Alternate Universe where Scootaloo passed the exam and got a job at the factory, Ask Rainbow Factory Dash, a blog about the manager of the factory in the same continuity as the Scootaloo blog, and Frenzy of the Rainbow Factory, an OC blog in continuity with the previous two. Ask Ghostly Scootaloo is revealed to follow an ending where Scootaloo is killed immediately, rather than being imprisoned. In a crossover between Ghostly and Factory Scootaloo, they end up in what could probably be defined as the "Alpha" universe with the imprisoned version of Scootaloo from Rainbow Factory canon. | |

Darker and Edgier: The fanfic itself to the show, big time. One "alternate ending" is even darker than the fanfic itself—in it, Rainbow Dash is revealed to still have a side of her personality that still cares for Scootaloo...and the struggle between it and her insane enraged side gets her tangled up in chains and shackles, until she herself falls into the Pegasus Device and dies. Scootaloo? She's still killed by Dr. Atmosphere anyways. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Rainbow Factory / Fan Fic / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Though ultimately scrapped, AuroraDawn wrote three different endings, though they're all still Downer Endings in their own right: First ending: Dash starts beating Scootaloo to death when Scootaloo manages to break through to her, causing Dash to develop a Split Personality: one side of her is horrified with herself for trying to kill her "little sister", while the other remains resentful of Scootaloo and keeps trying to kill her. Dash ends up struggling with herself before falling into her own machine, though her kind self wins over and apologizes to Scootaloo before being ripped to shreds. Sadly, Dr. Atmosphere shows up, murders Scootaloo, and manages to cover up the whole incident. Second ending: Same as the first, except Scootaloo survives and the horrors of the Rainbow Facility have been exposed. However, Scootaloo is left thoroughly broken over the deaths of three of her friends. Third ending: Similar to the first and second, except Scootaloo becomes a loner and never reveals the truth of the facility to the public since she is more or less implied to be forced to keep her mouth shut. | |

You Have Failed Me: Rainbow Dash comes to believe Scootaloo deserves her atrocious fate for having failed her flight test, despite all of Dash's tips and pointers. Even though her failure was not really her fault. It is implied in the "Awoken" PMV that Wooden Toaster kills Brony Dance Party for allowing H8_Seed to escape. | |

Downer Ending: Scootaloo fails to escape, is implied to have been killed, and the Rainbow Factory is allowed to remain operational. Pegasus Device shows that Scootaloo is not dead, however she has instead been held captive in the factory for so long that she has been driven insane to the point of forgetting her own name. | |

Fantastic Racism | |

Fantastic Racism: More like fantastic ableism; Cloudsdale society is extremely prejudiced about poor fliers - so much that pegasi who fail their final flight test are exiled somewhere so as to not shame the city. They're actually killed to make rainbows out of them, but the population doesn't know that. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Rainbow Factory / Fan Fic / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Aurora sacrifices herself so Scootaloo can escape. It doesn't work. In the Pegasus Device, this is the only way for sympathetic workers to save failures. Two such sacrifices saved Fluttershy and Derpy Hooves, explaining how canonically pathetic fliers could survive in a society that persecutes them. Scootaloo herself does this in Pegasus Device, killing herself to snap Dash out of her villainous ways. | |

| Rainbow Factory / Fan Fic / int_801a35a5 | comment |
Only the Leads Get a Happy Ending: The end of the original song's sequel, "Awoken". The worker the song revolves around escapes the factory to be met by a friend outside, and even gives Brony Dance Party a Karmic Death, in the process. Too bad the factory is still being run by Wooden Toaster, though. And if that's not enough, the main worker gets replaced by an android version of himself in The Stinger, meaning that all of his efforts to escape were for nothing. | |

MoralityChain | |
| Rainbow Factory / Fan Fic / int_b9fd7929 | comment |
Morality Chain: Working inside the Factory and seeing, even commanding the cold-blooded slaughter of many innocent ponies, Rainbow Dash had only one thing that prevented her from falling into complete insanity - Scootaloo. Once Scootaloo seals her fate by failing her flight exam, Rainbow Dash plunges right into the deep end. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Rainbow Factory / Fan Fic / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: Pegasi chosen to work in the factory itself, once they find out the truth about what they do, are given a choice. Keep their mouth shut and be party to the murder of countless foals, or spare one of them but the worker must take the foal's place. Only twice has a foal's life been spared — Fluttershy and Derpy Hooves. When Aurora Dawn gets hurt during the flight test, Orion and Scootaloo really want to help her, but going onto the field without permission is an automatic failure. Orion does it anyway, sacrificing his chance at passing, while Scootaloo watches helplessly. It's even more tragic when you consider that Scootaloo's guilt over this may have subconsciously led to her accident when her turn comes. | |

It's All About Me | |

It's All About Me: All Rainbow Dash is concerned with is how disappointed she is by Scootaloo's failure to pass her flight test after all her advice, as opposed to the fact that Scootaloo is about to die a horrible death. | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name | |
| Rainbow Factory / Fan Fic / int_c2288824 | comment |
A Nazi by Any Other Name: Cloudsdale is described as being 'nationalist'. Pegasi who fail their flight tests are ushered away to create the image that Cloudsdale does not produce failures. The failures are often referred to as being less than pony, and the Rainbow Factory can be seen as analogous to a certain facility the Nazis employed. | |

Not That Kind of Doctor: Dr. Atmosphere explicitly states he's not a medical doctor—he has a degree in engineering, and tells the group that he won't conduct any evil experiments on them. Indeed, they merely get killed to make rainbows out of them. | |

Revised Ending: Being the Nightmare Retardant parody it is, the Rainbow Dash Presents version ends with them learning they never actually needed to kill foals, they had only needed crayons and pictures of families to make rainbows. While Surprise laments that they're going to pony hell for nothing, the foals happily go home and take pictures with their families to donate to the factory. | |
