Rape as Drama: In the first chapter, Tarnish defends himself against a hungry Manticore using his magic, and it switches the Manticore's hungers. It's played as traumatizing and causes psychological damage he carries for years afterwards, as shown in later stories.

Tarnish begins the story being banished from Ponyville because his magic causes disasters on a regular basis, as a bonus, he's banned from Canterlot as well, to avoid exposing Princess Celestia to his magic. Later lifted, with Tarnish instead being classified a magical hazard, and given responsibility to act appropriately.

Character Development
 The Weed / Fan Fic / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: The first story in a long series that establishes this trope. Tarnish starts off as an angry, resentful, and moody teenager who pinned the blame for his problems on others. He also hated his poison joke cutie mark, what it stood for, and how his Wild Magic affected others. Thanks to the Pies, especially Maud, Tarnish gradually matures and becomes a more sensible and understanding stallion who is more accepting of his destiny. This is literally represented by his cutie mark "blooming" and gaining additional flowers. Maud slowly starts shedding her stoic facade, and starts opening up and expressing herself emotionally the longer she interacts with Tarnish.

Adult Fear: Gorgonzola goes through this when Grey Owl wanders off and is nearly eaten by spiders. Fortunately, Tarnish and Maud rescue her, but not before the spiders use paralytic poison on her. When she was little, Pinkie was spooked by a monster living under her bed, but the only one she could turn to was Maud, since their parents didn't believe her. Turns out, there was a monster under Pinkie's bed, and Maud decides to do what she does best. Both Maud and Tarnish's families go into panicked worry mode after learning they were both at ground zero when a volcano erupted. Naturally, when they're allowed to visit them at the hospital, they look like emotional wrecks.

Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Pinny Lane admitted she wanted a daughter and while she was trying to recover from what she thought was depression (actually Tarnish's Hate Plague magic) and improve herself, the doctors thought this trope was why she was neglecting Tarnish.

Green Thumb: As Stone ponies are a variant of Earth pony, Maud shares their distinct sensitivity to plants and nature. When she and Tarnish come across an area that has been burned in an attempt to get rid of poison joke, Maud could hear the cries of the scorched earth, as well as how wrong the area felt.

Tarnish was prone to this early on, blaming others for causing his problems while not knowing of the Hate Plague effects his magic caused yet. He gets over this after he realizes that only he's responsible for his problems.

Parental Neglect: Pinny Lane was not the most attentive of parents. It wasn't entirely her fault, Tarnish's magic produced negative responses in most ponies, including her. Once she's been outside his influence for a while and has some encouragement from the Pies, she is desperate to make up for it. Tarnish knows, but he struggles to deal with it because the memories were fresh on his mind, and part of him wanted to make her suffer as he did. Eventually he decided to man up and forgive her.

Not So Stoic
 The Weed / Fan Fic / int_a8a4b41e
comment
Not So Stoic: Maud has a couple of these moments the longer she continues to express herself. Her first instance was meeting Tarnish's callous Jerkass of a father, which provoked her into Tranquil Fury. Pinkie had to give Maud a Cool Down Hug and talk her sister into staying with Tarnish for his sake, and she does. After thinking about what would've happened if Tarnish hadn't lived, she is so shaken that she does a Security Cling on Tarnish. Discovering that Tarnish had been turned into a statue by a cockatrice in Froggy Bottom Bog was when Maud started getting close to being truly upset, and had to be comforted by Pinkie. After Tarnish is turned back to normal by Twilight, Maud is immediately at his side, covering her husband in hugs and kisses. Later, at Ghastly Gorge, Maud witnesses Tarnish using his Wild Magic to purify a magically polluted area for the first time, and falsely assumes that something bad is happening to him. Maud screams as she and Tarnish try to escape an exploding volcano.

Chekhov's Skill: Before Tarnish leaves with Maud for Ghastly Gorge, Pinny Lane explains and shows to him that all unicorns have their own spell that only they can learn under different circumstances; Pinny's lets her create additional bowling balls out of magic. In a later chapter, after seeing Maud get eaten by a hydra and falsely assuming she's dead, Tarnish's grief and anger unlocks his own spell - the ability to convert water into steam and vice-versa.

Maud's chemistry professor while she was attending university in Las Pegasus had this attitude, attempting to bar her from learning chemistry on the basis that it's too complicated for mares. Maud filed a complaint against the professor, getting him in trouble, but also caused more problems for herself.

Forgiveness: Tarnish struggles to deal with this issue after he reunites with his mother, Pinny Lane. While greater knowledge of his magic makes him know that it wasn't really her fault because his Hate Plague magic had a major influence on her, part of him wants to take the Calling the Old Man Out route and make her suffer as he did. Eventually, he decides on the right thing to do and forgives her.

Hypocrite: In the beginning, right after he was kicked out of Ponyville, Tarnish sees Twilight and Ponyville's population as this after they cast him out of town for wreaking havoc with his Wild Magic - Twilight, the other Elements of Harmony, or the Cutie Mark Crusaders never got punished for destroying stuff, but when Tarnish destroyed stuff by accident, he got banished for his troubles. To be fair, Twilight regretted the decision to banish him instead of helping him like she should have. His magic might have influenced her, too.

You Can't Go Home Again

comment
You Can't Go Home Again: Tarnish begins the story being banished from Ponyville because his magic causes disasters on a regular basis, as a bonus, he's banned from Canterlot as well, to avoid exposing Princess Celestia to his magic. Later lifted, with Tarnish instead being classified a magical hazard, and given responsibility to act appropriately. Snowy Summit had it worse - because he was Anti-Magic incarnate, he became a Walking Wasteland to all magical creatures, including ponies. As a result, he was unwelcome wherever he went.

Chekhov's Gunman: Mellonella Moth is first encountered at the Glory Holenote A safe haven in the wilds created around a waterhole. Not whatever you're thinking.. Her significance in the wider Weedverse cosmology and politics doesn't become apparent until much later. Similarly, her conversation in the mirror introduces Helianthus', who later rescues the heroes and also has a much greater role in the later stories.

Disaster Dominoes: One that revolves around Gaia's Vengeance below. The destruction of the Poison Joke flowers, seen as hazardous to ponies and other magical creatures, led to the gradual wasting away of the environment and causing mutations of local plants and animals to happen. The rampant magic that was left unfiltered by the absence of Poison Joke grew fouler and fouler, to the point where it even caused volcanoes like the one Tarnish and Maud encountered to spring up and erupt. Of course, since no one wanted to take responsibility for their actions, they blamed Tarnish just because he had Wild Magic and thus was an easier target for them.

Detect Evil: Tarnish's magical amulet, given to him by Twilight, has the ability to detect evil magic through color-changing; it changes from light blue to black depending on how foul the magic's presence is.
