comment
The Triptych Continuum is a series of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Fan Fic stories and shorts taking place within the same setting, written by Estee.This Alternate Universe is predicated on the continuity established by the first three seasons. However, it occasionally examines those events in greater depth. There is some emphasis on world-building, the environment, the mechanics of magic in Equestria, and character development. It also contains original vernacular and hints at what appears to be an alternate history for the Princesses.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Triptych is the central work of the setting, starting three weeks after Twilight's transformation. It initially centers around her personal aftermath from the change while sending the Mane Cast on a new mission — one launched by Discord. Without being told what it is, where they're going, or anything about why. It is complete.A Mark of Appeal is another story within the setting, focusing on Celestia and Luna. It deals with the ramifications of what happens when a pony possesses a cutie mark which she no longer wants, as the talent turns out to be actively detrimental to her — because it's gone fully out of that pony's control. It is complete.The various other shorts can be found on the Author page, located here. A number of them are meant to expand on ideas presented in the main work and have been described by the author as "things which were going on in the background while you weren't looking."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It's still Equestria, and it's not necessarily dark — but there are times when the shadows get a little deeper.This Link is the timeline of the series as it stands so far. It's an updated version of this outdated blog on the series connected story continuum.The author is also responsible for Tales Of The Canterlot Deportation Agency, which is a separate continuity — although the rules of magic are the same, and backstories for characters appearing in both are shared.The standalone story Anchor Foal incorporates much of the Continuum's background but occurs in a separate continuity.

Adorkable: Twilight at times, especially when magic or research get involved. Her first reaction to Rarity's eye color being changed (along with everything else) in Orange Is The New Blue is to ask her if she's perceiving the world any differently, note how different eye hues receive light in different ways, and start planning out a comprehensive series of tests so they can mutually create a comparison chart. (Also counts as a Call-Back to Chapter 11 in Triptych, where she launches a similar lecture as self-defense against inquiring bar patrons.)

Heroic Mime
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_143e6c8d
comment
Heroic Mime: Snowflake, usually. He's described as being rather intelligent and his thoughts are expressive, but with the exception of one short story, the only thing he's ever said on-camera are various intonations on "Yeah". (Ironically, the first full multi-word sentence out of his mouth is used to protest Fluttershy not having allowing him to speak with Caramel.) Broken once and for all, in "Scootalift". Snowflake can speak normally: he's just not comfortable with talking to most ponies. The majority of his exclamations are bluster designed to keep him from having to say anything else. By the end of A Duet For Land And Sky, he's been effectively forced into opening up somewhat more, as is appropriate for a stallion who's just starting into a relationship.

Paint It Black: The antagonist in "Orange Is the New Blue" possesses an apparently-unique spell which allows her to change the color of any object. Early on, it's used to alter Rarity from her usual white-and-purple into... red-and-black, which quickly turns into a mild Take That! for the flood of identically-hued alicorn OCs to appear on FIMFic.

Walking Wasteland
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_16a21271
comment
Walking Wasteland: Confirmed by Word of God as a possible public application of earth pony magic. It's much faster than the Cornicopia Effect, but affects a much smaller area and costs a lot more energy. In addition, any pony who wants to use this effect in a settled zone will be pitting their voice against the collective voices of all the earth ponies who are maintaining the Effect. And much like attempting to shut down a cutie mark, going against your fundamental nature has a cost. Any earth pony who uses their magic in this way will get very sick, and keep getting sicker unless they shut their attempt down.

Read the Fine Print: Trixie does this (against the seller's will) on Equestria's first-ever texting contract in "0G Network Coverage". It's implied not to end well for the salespony. In Anchor Foal, Fleur establishes that she always does this, and warns Fluttershy that anyone who grows edgy, nervous or impatient when you ask to do so is assuredly trying to con you.

Gone Horribly Right: Experiments with using platinum as an Amplifier Artifact have always gone this way. In a downplayed example, it has been considered that the existence of The Most Special Spell may be the cause of modern Equestria's mare majority; each use of the spell produces only fillies, and as generations have gone by, with more and more fillies being born and finding love with other mares, yet more fillies have been born, to the point stallions have become increasingly rare.

The Ghost
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_1ba17583
comment
Mr. Flankington. Aside from his infamous "Saddle Arabian delicacy," Cutie Mark Crusaders Alpha Pack Leader demonstrates how his test kitchen has the literal ingredients for a town-wide biohazard. Oddly, for most of the timeline, he was The Ghost of Ponyville: he's mentioned as being in the crowd in front of Sugarcube Corner during Orange Is The New Blue, but he was never described or heard to speak — until Twilight's Escort Service: a male pegasus stallion in late middle age, with a dark green coat, red eyes, and a mark showing two crossed, bubbling test tubes. Word of God is that he's meant to be a gentle tribute to Plankton, with his restaurant constantly losing money until tourist season hits and unsuspecting travelers who assume any eatery must be run by somepony with a cooking mark wander into exactly the right location for proving themselves horribly wrong. He truly doesn't mean any harm: he just can't get a recipe right to save his life and possesses a good amount of self-delusion regarding his efforts. The next one will surely work out...

Total Eclipse of the Plot
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_1dab5333
comment
Total Eclipse of the Plot: "A Total Eclipse of the Fun" is built around Celestia and Luna's plans to create an eclipse to celebrate the second anniversary of Luna's Return. (Despite the actual timing of events, the associated holiday is held three days after the Summer Sun Celebration, to give Luna her own time.) This has to be a deliberate, planned event: due to the normal cycle for Sun and Moon, the two celestial bodies are never in the sky at the same time unless the sisters carefully arrange it. Portions of the public don't take well to the proposed celebration, mostly because the Princesses are bringing back something from the age of Discord which blocks out the Sun.

Adventure-Friendly World: Word of God asserts that roughly 6% of the land and 7% of the sky of Equestria is actually a "settled zone", a place where ponies actually live and work. The rest of the continent is all wilderness, often crawling with monsters.

Muggles Do It Better
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_21eb1793
comment
Muggles Do It Better: Played with; according to Word of God, one unknown side-effect of the Cornucopia Effect is that Equestrians have absolutely no idea of even the most basic forms of agronomy. Earth pony magic makes soil replenishment and crop rotation non-concerns, and so Equestrians have barely begun to grasp the concept of using compost. This, more than anything, is why Equestrians are so absolutely dependent on earth pony farmers to feed their nation. It's noted that plants grown partially on the magic of the Cornucopia Effect are somehow indefinably less than those grown via pure biology in other nations. Still perfectly nourishing, but a sensitive palate can detect the difference.

Carnivore Confusion
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_27a58d30
comment
Carnivore Confusion: Averted. Sapient meat-eaters remain exactly that — but the Treaty of Menagerie restricts their diet, agreeing that none will take their meals from any who talk or think. One palace kitchen actually has a meat station, allowing visitors to be served proper meals, and the Red List tells those arrivals about the five — and then six — other places in Canterlot where they can find food — two of which are pet shops, making Unfortunate Implications, as an Invoked Trope. The majority of what's used for meat comes from the non-sapient monster species: if it's trying to kill you and can't discuss the reason why, go right ahead and return the favor.

 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_294ed981
comment
Bilingual Bonus: The stallion in Blessing who begs Celestia to save his daughter is named Fajr. It's Arabic, indicating the morning prayers. A mild version in Naked Lunch: two named Canterlot streets are Camargue Road and Przewalski Way — horse breeds. There's also a very obscure one deeper into the story, occurring when the formal name of the Griffon Republic is finally revealed. It's Protocera — and some human folklorists believe the Terran legends of griffons began when people completely misinterpreted the fossilized remains of the dinosaur species Protoceratops. Lazy River reveals that the traditional earth pony period of mourning is called shiva, sharing its meaning with the original Hebrew. In Unnoticed, the old shut-in who even Pinkie didn't know that well was named αόρατος, note Pronounced Aóratoss Greek for invisible.

The Dreaded
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_2ae29c0d
comment
The Dreaded: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are this for most of Ponyville's population. Ponies keep away from them like they were juggling nitroglycerin, even when they aren't. Princess Luna, on the other hand, terrifies just about everyone. Word of God states that the scariest line in Celestia's diplomatic arsenal is "Let me go see what my sister thinks". Mr. Flankington is this in any setting where food service becomes remotely possible. He can empty out a banquet hall in nine seconds flat, and that as an invited guest.

Raised by Natives
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_2d7f0748
comment
Raised by Natives: "Naked Lunch" reveals that griffons have a cultural imperative which dictates that to bring a child into the world is to take responsibility for raising it to adulthood — and if the parents die, someone else must take over. This belief extends to the children of enemies — and in the deep past, when the Republic and Equestria went to war, the griffons would scoop up the foals of the fallen and bring them to their new homes. Centuries later, this has led to Protocera possessing a significant pony population, nearly all descendants of those original children — and most of them were raised as and consider themselves to be griffons. Equestrian visitors to the Republic who think they've spotted another traveler on the street are often in for a major culture shock. It's also worth noting that this applies to any intelligent species the griffons have ever fought. Which brings up the question of just what else holds Protoceran citizenship...

Power-Strain Blackout: This can happen to any unicorn who overexerts herself. Twilight had nine of them while in school. Rarity manages the feat in Chapter 5 of Triptych after going to the full triple corona. Pegasi can also suffer from this: "If Rainbow Dash Can't Sleep" shows a deliberate invocation of the issue — one intended as an insomnia cure.

Teleporter Accident
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_309c05ec
comment
Teleporter Accident: In this continuity, arrival from between pushes aside air, displaces moderate volumes of liquid (which is uncomfortable), and can break any exceptionally thin or fragile solid. Anything presenting more resistance than that will displace the arriving party in a random direction (although never down) until they find enough open room to appear in. And the further a pony goes to find that space, the faster the momentum of that displacement gets. It's called recoil, and it's the reason arrival points have to be kept clear. Only a desperate pony will try to teleport to a place she can't directly see or doesn't have memorized. If you're lucky, you just get jarred a bit. If you're not, ponies could die. Even Princesses are vulnerable: in A Mark Of Appeal, Celestia and Luna choose the same arrival point in a train car, head for it at the same moment... and Luna winds up sliding down a wall while Celestia hits the ceiling, quickly followed by the floor.

Logic Bomb: Luna launches one (referenced by name) in A Total Eclipse Of The Fun which nearly takes out an entire press conference. Upon being repeatedly challenged to prove that she's incapable of enthralling ponies, she agrees that the never-seen ability would in fact be a danger and refuses to release anyone from the gathering until they've proven they can't do it — through attempting (and failing) to use the spell on her. If it doesn't work, she'll simply tell the gathering "I am not enthralled' and let that pony leave.

comment
Stuff Blowing Up: The reason why students from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns are in the castle in Luna's Lottery Lunacy. The budget wasn't able to cover rebuilding that much of the school for the fourth time. That semester. In "100% Move=50% Fire", Twilight says it's almost traditional to damage some part of the Canterlot Archives once you get into the better portions, which is why there's (still) no railing on the ramp leading up to her old residence. Luna has made ice cream explode. She wasn't attacking it or experiencing any degree of Power Incontinence during an emotional moment: she was trying to make the dessert. Princesses Can't Cook showed her grumbling about the slow method of aeration, to the point where she decided the best way of shortcutting past it was to make the air already within move faster. As in 'internal storm system'. Complete with lightning. Boom. By contrast, Celestia took out the oven in a much more conventional way.

Gendercide: Extremely downplayed. Because the Most Special Spell only produces fillies, the mare population has slowly increased since it was introduced, but there's no risk of stallions going extinct. Currently, the mare population has a 6% advantage on the stallion one — but the gap will eventually stop increasing. It's just not going to even out until somepony finds an equivalent spell which can basically create the pony equivalent of the Y chromosome.

Lethal Chef

Lethal Chef: Mr. Flankington. Aside from his infamous "Saddle Arabian delicacy," Cutie Mark Crusaders Alpha Pack Leader demonstrates how his test kitchen has the literal ingredients for a town-wide biohazard. Oddly, for most of the timeline, he was The Ghost of Ponyville: he's mentioned as being in the crowd in front of Sugarcube Corner during Orange Is The New Blue, but he was never described or heard to speak — until Twilight's Escort Service: a male pegasus stallion in late middle age, with a dark green coat, red eyes, and a mark showing two crossed, bubbling test tubes. Word of God is that he's meant to be a gentle tribute to Plankton, with his restaurant constantly losing money until tourist season hits and unsuspecting travelers who assume any eatery must be run by somepony with a cooking mark wander into exactly the right location for proving themselves horribly wrong. He truly doesn't mean any harm: he just can't get a recipe right to save his life and possesses a good amount of self-delusion regarding his efforts. The next one will surely work out... If the food preparation phase counts, we can add Celestia and Luna to the mix. In "Princesses Can't Cook", the sisters attend their first culinary lesson. The results are edible: it was the creation stage which managed to blow up most of the kitchen. Twice. A more minor version in 100% Move = 50% Fire, when Pinkie Pie sees Twilight's original kitchen.

Homosexual Reproduction
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_39956254
comment
Homosexual Reproduction: Made possible by a working known as the Most Special Spell. A Mark Of Appeal reveals that castings are available free to married couples who request it from the government — this is done to prevent would-be mothers being taken advantage of by scam artists, since any unicorn can create a glow and use it to fake a casting. However, it only works on pony mares and the child will always be a filly: stallion partners are typically stuck with adoption or finding a surrogate, and any mare pairing wishing a colt in the family will generally have to adopt. Word of God suggests that multiple centuries of this spell's use may have pushed Equestria to a mare majority. It's also noted that there's a mandatory health screening before the spell can be cast. Ponies don't recognize DNA or have a full grasp on genetics, but they do realize some conditions are "in the blood" and more likely to manifest in the children of a female/female pairing.

Crapsaccharine World: This version of Equestria may look shiny and colorful like in the show, but there's a lot of Grim Dark aspects hidden under the brightness. Pony civilization amounts to bubbles of safety in the midst of vast, monster-infested wilderness, and traveling between towns is a potentially lethal journey. Furthermore, such civilized zones will die out despite all the efforts of their residents should the Earth Ponies leave, as ponies depend on "the Cornucopia Effect" to have enough readily accessible food to support themselves. Despite the Windigos historically forcing the three tribes to make peace, there's still a strong undercurrent of anti-tribalist beliefs in modern Equestria — ironically, mostly from the Earth Ponies, or so it seems. There's no form of libel laws established, so the local journalistic efforts are the worst sorts of muck-raking screed one can imagine. And that's really just scratching the surface.

Schizo Tech: Partially averted: Word of God is that Equestria is mostly around a magic-enhanced 1940s, with some gaps — particularly in communications — and a few spell-boosted exceptions. Many devices and conveniences are commonly available, although testing first-generation new products is a habit for the bold. Other things are more towards pure science: film works chemically. A few seem to have made a transition: invisible ink was originally the result of a spell (and one of Star Swirl's at that), but was eventually brought to the point of a chemical reaction — although the spell version still exists, with Luna launching a major casting of the Revealer aspect in Luna's Lottery Lunacy.

Bizarre and Improbable Golf Game: In A Good Trot, Spoiled, the Minotaur ambassador invites Celestia and Luna over to a new Minotaur invention: a golf course! Every single hole, every single shot, goes awry, in the most absurd of ways. This is intentionally produced by magic: the nineteenth hole is a nicely padded pit where the player can take out their aggression by going Golf Clubbing.

Flat Character: In-Universe. It's very easy for ponies to slip into the roles that their cutie marks represent and never branch out beyond them. In The Hypocrisy of Tolerance, Rarity and Fluttershy discuss the possibility of becoming nothing but the virtue of their Element. Luna assured Rarity that it can't happen... unless a Bearer believes it could. Or wants it to. This is further explored in A Mark of Appeal, to a horrific extent: the pollen of a certain magical flower, which boosts the innate magic of those exposed to it, results in the cutie mark of an afflicted pony literally taking over the pony's life, with utterly disastrous results. In One Tenth-Bit, the demented Officer Cropski seems to be of the opinion that a cutie mark oftentimes represents the worst aspects of a pony, a case of projection where, at the end, his mark of three iron bars turns out to be especially prophetic. In Mint Condition, we see a pony who's absolutely fallen into his mark (and without the influence of Red-Tinge): for Blank Canvas, the only important thing in the world is Art. Social niceties can go hang, sleep can wait, and the only advantage to food is that passing out from hunger every five minutes is less conducive to producing Art than one might think. Patronage is important, but only so that he can create more Art. And so on...

In-Universe, the Crystal Goose species, as unfortunately returned to Equestria in Goosed. Big, strong, hyper-aggressive, violently territorial (to the point that Fluttershy translates their name for their flock as "Owns Everything"), almost stubbornly stupid insatiable gluttons who have the least-efficient digestive system in Equestria and so leave a copious trail of unspeakably nasty feces in their wake. Their myriad names range from Ultionum Prandium (Griffonian for "Vengeance Lunch" — keep in mind, Griffons normally refuse to eat anything that they don't respect) to "Grey-Winged Shitbuckets". The textbook covering their existence notes that they went "suspiciously extinct" as soon as the Crystal Empire vanished, with the "suspiciously" being underlined three times for emphasis. Notably, they are a parody—and only mild exaggeration—of the real-world Canada Goose.

Bizarre Alien Senses
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_4ee5989a
comment
Bizarre Alien Senses: Each major pony race has a sense for the detection of magic called feel, the quality of which varies by the individual (although some ponies can improve with practice). However, in reality, this actually works out to be three separate senses, as a pony can only pick up on the workings of their own race. Twilight's feel for unicorn magic is fairly acute, while Pinkie hardly ever registers even the strongest earth pony traces. The Princesses are presumed to possess all three versions. She also has all three — but only one at a time, and she doesn't know how to interpret some of the information, leading to a degree of synesthesia. Pegasus vision goes partway into both the infrared and electromagnetic: they can see heat and judge the level of ion charges in clouds. Some unexplained mechanism lets them view humidity as twinkles in the air.

Hairstyle Malfunction: If Celestia or Luna become completely exhausted, their manes and tails will temporarily lose their inherent magic and collapse back into normal hair. (They can also trigger that degree of reversion deliberately by dampening a portion of their power, which requires considerable effort.) In Luna's case, that means light blue strands. With Celestia, the camera quickly points away, and the few ponies who have seen it in the current generation have been given a Death Glare which silently orders them to Never Speak Of This Again. It turns out it's a hideous manure-brown tangle of hair that's utterly unmanageable.

Luna has made ice cream explode. She wasn't attacking it or experiencing any degree of Power Incontinence during an emotional moment: she was trying to make the dessert.

As in 'internal storm system'. Complete with lightning. Boom. By contrast, Celestia took out the oven in a much more conventional way.

Fantastic Racism: Sonic Rainbigot introduces Canterlot Unicorns Need Equal Treatment, later described in Luna's Lottery Lunacy as "the largest, best-organized, well-funded, and most delusional group of self-promoting racists on the continent." (It's also noted that they were originally named Canterlot Unicorns Negating Traditional Swears, but for some reason, decided that name wasn't working out.) Naked Lunch firmly establishes them as a unicorn superiority group which is forever trying to claim the victimization of a persecuted majority, and extends their racism to the other sentient species: they would love to see Equestria's borders closed (along with the expulsion of all non-ponies, citizens included), and a few members are so fanatical as to refuse usage of anything not created by unicorns. Which admittedly makes it hard to take pictures which might work in their favor: turns out cameras were invented by minotaurs.

Green Thumb: An aspect of this is recognized as earth pony magic, here called the Cornucopia Effect. Basically, wherever earth ponies work the land, it will begin to respond, even if the environment says it shouldn't. With sufficient effort and pegasi occasionally lending a wing with climate control, any kind of crop can be raised in any soil, allowing a group of determined earth ponies to get an apple orchard going in the desert. Teams can work together to accelerate plant growth, and a few specialists can reverse it to raise bonsai. Better yet, get enough earth ponies together in an area and the soil fertility radius will slowly radiate out beyond their immediate territory, allowing even unicorns and pegasi to create gardens and raise small crops. However, if the earth ponies all leave, the Effect will gradually fade out. (It's been directly said that Ponyville would have two years before full reversion.) And without them, the other two major pony races are limited to what the land will provide on its own.

Guilt Complex
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_5b0e992
comment
An angry Celestia later fires those who started the first panic, which leads into a second instance of this trope. And thus the world's most incompetent counterrevolutionary cell was formed. When she eventually discovers all the layers of what had happened, she treats the prior gap in her knowledge as a personal failing. Luna makes a point of saying Celestia isn't omniscient (even if the older sister sometimes briefly manages to make her fall for it) and that there was no way to see this coming, but Celestia keeps insisting that she should have seen more. There may be a bit of a Guilt Complex there.

Required Secondary Powers: Said to be the case with many marks. Even something as mundane as the Cakes' enhanced ability to bake comes with little side benefits such as being able to gauge the exact degree of oven temperature just by letting the heat wash over them for a second. Battle marks are noted as including enhanced intuition and potential capacity for pulling an Indy Ploy. In general, the effects are minor and don't have a lot of overt magic attached — but magic is exactly what they are.

Being responsible for the majority of non-pony residents in Canterlot is a hard job, one which too often displays visible strain — but at the same time, being able to manage it at all shows just how tough he is. Still, when he gets tired, mistakes can be made...

Forbidden Friendship: Snips and Snails' parents believe that each is a bad influence on the other. The only place Snips and Snails can spend time together is school. They repeatedly fail their exams on purpose so they can spend summers together in remedial classes. The Cutie Mark Crusaders haven't quite reached this state, yet, but it's a close thing, and both Applejack and Rarity are seriously considering at least forbidding their siblings from having anything to do with Scootaloo.

Endangered Soufflé: The arc plot in Pinkie Pie Vs. The Soufflé, which has Pinkie attempting to bake her first successful baking of the stubborn dish for her master piece: the dish which will let her shed the "apprentice" from "baker" once and for all. It doesn't exactly go as first planned. Or second, third, fourth... It eventually turns out that Pinkie is subconsciously sabotaging her attempts, because she's scared that becoming a true baker will mean having to leave the Cakes, who're the only family she really has.

Fantastic Slurs
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_6e429667
comment
Fantastic Slurs: One of the worst things an earth pony or pegasus can say about a unicorn is to tell them they're "horning in": it's basically calling that pony a powermonger who doesn't care about Harmony, based in a time when some unicorns tried to use their magics to take over. In the modern day, some unicorns will toss the slur at other unicorns if they think the target pony is getting full of themselves — but if anypony else uses it, screams of racism just might follow. Pegasi occasionally get hit with "land swooper", a leftover from the era of sieges and raiding parties: it's calling that pony a thief or pirate. However, the term is also used as the name of a Las Pegasus sports team. Pegasi are also, occasionally, called "feather dusters", though usually only in the minds of the unicorn nobility.

Massive Numbered Siblings: In A Mark Of Appeal, as Celestia says when speaking to Joyous, she the third of seven children; Luna's the fifth. In Triptych, Celestia describes this as a common practice in the Discordian era. After all, everypony had to contribute to the barricades — and if one couldn't go out into the fields themselves, then at least they could have a lot of foals to combat the attrition. It's quite possible that seven was on the low end.

Cat Up a Tree
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_7833ecb3
comment
Cat Up a Tree: Or Pony Up a Tree, anyway. This is Rarity's situation in the eponymous story. Ponies are among the worst climbers in the world and know it: unless you're a pegasus, being stuck in a tree too high up for a safe jump generally means being stuck there until somepony shows up to help. Triptych notes similar problems with falling into holes: if the width doesn't allow a chimney-climb, the pony is probably in trouble. None of this stops two non-pegasi from climbing trees to keep away from Scootaloo in Scootalift. Admittedly, there was a pegasus there who could have provided a potential boost. Or as Snowflake notes, they might have just discovered a panic-induced talent for high-jumping. It's amazing what you can do when you're scared enough...

Like Brother and Sister: Snowflake and Fluttershy are explicitly described as "near-siblings" in The Hypocrisy of Tolerance.

There's no romantic connection: they simply have a lot of things in common.

Origins Episode: "Snowflake Shoe-Hare" provides one for the titular character, making his wings into the results of a birth defect injury. (In this continuity, nearly all pegasi foals have hard shells of translucent tissue called caps covering the wings at birth, protecting fragile bones from damage caused by the pressure of contractions. Snowflake was a capless birth who survived.) His unusual build is explained as a deliberate effort to substitute for missing wing surface area with raw power.

Logical Weakness
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: Each race has their own counters: Unicorn horns typically can't be covered by anything more than the hair of a mane or the field can't be projected: devices called restraints can be placed over the horn to prevent all castings. (These are typically metal or heavy wood: it's noted that except for the weakest cases, covering a horn in mud or cloth just annoys the unicorn. And since horns are effectively unbreakable and don't conduct impact well, weak restraints are just rammed against something more solid until they're ruined.) However, it is possible to overcome this weakness with training, at least to some extent; apparently one of Starswirl the Bearded's more impressive feats of magic was casting while wearing a hat, and Luna and Celestia have learned this trick as well, though they keep it a closely-guarded secret and almost never use it. Pegasi are unable to use their own magic if they're fully immobilized, and full-body restraints called freezers exist to hold criminal ones. Earth ponies have four different counters — two are specific to earth ponies, one to pegasi and one to unicorns. Earth ponies can either use their feel to produce different effects in the hope of out doing the other and winning by cleverness or try to get the land to produce the opposite effect and win through sheer strength of feel. Pegasi can lift an earth pony high enough their feel can't reach the ground and thus can't produce an effect. Unicorns can teleport an earth pony, which momentarily breaks their connection with the earth entirely, causing them to become extremely disoriented for a period of time directly proportional to the earth pony's strength of feel.

Willfully Weak: Earth ponies keep their ability to manipulate the physical earth around them a secret from all other races, out of paranoia about what the other pony tribes will do if they learn they have such abilities. Some of Applejack's words and thoughts in Chapters 6 & 15 suggest fillies and colts are taught at an early age that if they ever tell, they might be killed — or at least that it's happened to other ponies in the past.

Asshole Victim: The unicorn noble in "Mechanical Aptitude" is an entitled bigoted jerk who is completely dismissive of Ratchette's abilities because she's a pegasus and ignores her when she tries to warn him that his new Minder is transmitting his secrets to the Flim Flam brothers for future blackmailing purposes. The other ponies she reveals this to tell Ratchette to just let the jerk suffer the consequences. Cartier Anserini, the unicorn avian paleobiologist from Goosed, who only knows about the Crystal Geese from his studies and immediately thinks of them as beautiful, magnificent creatures. He's amazingly contemptuous towards the plight of the ponies actually having to put up with the noisy, foul-tempered, rampantly defecating bastard things, to the point of callously suggesting that they should all be evicted from Ponyville so it can become a goose sanctuary. Needlessly to say, the Bearers and the rest of Ponyville are quite content to leave him to be mauled when he gets too close to his "wonderful" geese.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders also object to everyone presuming that they're the ones who cause all the problems when things just keep happening to them.

Unwanted False Faith: The Princesses, full stop. A number of ponies (and not a small one) see them as entities not only to invoke in vows, but who can be actively prayed to — and they're not. Blessing shows Celestia desperately trying to explain her lack of divinity to a stallion truly in need of a miracle — an attempt which appears to have never worked. On a lighter note, the Cutie Mark Crusaders' reign of terror has led to at least one shrine among Ponyville's realtors and moving supply salesponies.

 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_a0d7a074
comment
Diurnal Nocturnal Animal: Partially averted. Luna and Celestia are described as being locked into night and day, but there's a degree of natural overlap to their normal waking hours and either one can freely operate during the other's time. However, they're both slightly weaker during those "wrong" hours, and too much time spent under the wrong celestial body serves as an escalating irritant: Luna becomes increasingly jittery, Celestia's teeth go on edge. When combined with the loss of sleep from a schedule flip, either sister operating in the wrong part of the day/night cycle for a week or more can become a bomb looking for a place to go off. Luna zigzags this in that she does suffer health problems as a result of her predominantly nocturnal existence, such as recurring issues with fungal infection.

Nervous Wreck: Unsurprisingly, the Flower Trio, who can always find a reason to freak out. It gets a bit worse in this continuity, as ponies can occasionally lapse into a strong herd mentality. The Trio has been known to go around Ponyville explaining to everypony else just why the population should be frightened — which can set those ponies off, who then go out and trigger still more ponies and before you know it, the entire town is approaching full-scale panic.

Deadpan Snarker: Twilight, generally when tired or especially upset. She's composed internal letters to Princess Celestia which will never see a scroll, attempted to mock-suffocate herself with a pillow rather than continue to deal with Rainbow Dash's insomnia, and offered to prove the reality of an approaching solar eclipse to a disbelieving griffon astronomy professor by having the Princesses send him to the Moon. Luna, particularly when she's been irritated by somepony else's stupidity. A number of hers wind up being vocalized.

Be Careful What You Wish For: At the press conference meant to explain the nature of eclipses to the populace through newspaper articles (which ultimately leads to the government still having to do its own one-sheet educational printing — just for starters), one reporter asks how ponies are supposed to get used to the idea, especially if this is going to be any kind of regular event. Luna then decides that from that point on, all daylight conferences in the Lunar Courtyard will be held under total solar eclipse, just to let that reporter get used to it.

Loophole Abuse: Comes into play in Kiss a Bearer for a Bit. Having been roped into running a kissing booth with the titular offer during the town fair, Fluttershy puts her Element necklace on Harry the bear and tells customers they have to kiss him, since whoever's wearing it it is technically its Bearer.

419 Scam: Twilight gets to read the Equestrian version of a 419 in Dear Friend, after Spike fires off a number of ersatz scrolls following the ingestion of "griffon-made canned lunch meat". The scroll in question comes from somepony asking for aid in recovering twenty million bits deposited in Ponyville, and is signed "Sucker Bet."

 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: The first short in the "Elements of Elements" pieces turns into one for the frequently-seen fanfic concept of a seventh Element of Harmony, with Twilight pointing out that while there's a chance such a thing could exist, the Elements only work as a group: they simply wouldn't work if one was missing, and the fact that the known ones always works requires that the current set is entire and complete. Pinkie feels that the multiple ponies galloping all over Equestria claiming to be that seventh are just looking for free drinks and sex. Mostly sex. Word of God is that it's more of a poke at the never-ending flood of seventh Element OCs, many of whom exist solely so they can have sex.

Everyone Is Gay: Lesbian mare couples are common enough that a spell to allow them to have foals was created, and this has ironically resulted in mares starting to outnumber stallions, so much so that lesbian relationships are slowly becoming more common. The world's not in any immediate danger of seeing stallion extinction, though: Word of God has the current population breakdown as 53% mares, 47% stallions — and taken over generations, things should eventually stabilize.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are

comment
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: This comes as a group effort towards Twilight from the other Bearers in "100% Move = 50% Fire" after the real reason for her procrastination in completing the exit from her former Canterlot Archives apartment emerges. She's so afraid of saying or doing one wrong thing and losing everypony, she's been hanging onto a retreat point. There's also a bit of it in Chapter 4 of Orange Is the New Blue, again directed towards Twilight, this time from Rarity: Twilight works out a possible emotional motive for the outbreak of color-change castings, immediately starts to second-guess herself because she feels she's no good at judging such things, and Rarity gently tells her how much she's changed since arriving in Ponyville, very nearly using the trope name in the process. Iron Will directs this towards Flash Sentry in The Bounce Test after presenting evidence revealing that Flash's true Talent which makes him a lightning rod for danger that keeps others safe makes him the perfect Guard rather than the unlucky failure he (and everyone else) believes he is.

The Tokyo Fireball: If Rainbow Dash can't sleep...: After the events of the last few years, the mayor uses a "stack of disaster relief forms" for a pillow. Chapter 2 of ''Triptych'': It notes that the national disaster relief fund makes up eight percent of Equestria's budget "in a slow year." Just how much of that goes to Ponyville is perhaps best not thought about. Furthermore, the town bankrupted the nation's fledgling insurance companies in fifteen moons.

Shout-Out: In On the Application of Time and Motion Efficiency Studies to Initial Relationship Formation, Flitter gives this little speech after deciding that Rarity being a whole seventeen moons older than her means the designer is effectively deceased: Luna has a simple question for the room: "Did I err?" The trail blend called Hurry-Up Mix, so named because it inspires ponies to find anything else to eat before she makes that mix again, has certain similarities to dwarf bread. (It's edible — just highly fragrant and almost terminally unbalanced towards grains.)

Environmental Symbolism

Environmental Symbolism: A mild case in the Solar and Lunar Courtyards, used by each of the Diarchy for their press conference areas. The Lunar is perpetually under an illusionary full moon during the night (the largest, closest one in Equestria's history) and, following the events of A Total Eclipse Of The Fun, a total solar eclipse during the day. (Prior to that, it was a daylight moon, an artifact from Discord's era which Celestia tried out every forty years or so, mostly from boredom.) The Solar Courtyard has perpetual dawnlight during all hours under Sun — but at night, it's a midnight sun: position-locked overhead, slightly grey. The temperature is forever off and the place just feels uncomfortable (and sometimes worse): resonance from a thousand years of regret.

Adaptational Wimp: Changelings in the Continuum have gone from the shapeshifters capable of assuming any form, from pony to monster to inanimate object, of the canon to being completely incapable of shapechanging at all: instead, they project an easily-undermined illusion of their "assumed" form. It's established the best changeling detection device one can have is a humble bucket of water; splash the legs and it will make a very distinctive pattern.

Even the Apple family, who still honors their long expired contract due to Filthy Rich's own good relationship with them, won't actually visit his store anymore just to avoid Diamond.

Lethal Joke Item: So there's a spell. And all it does is change the color of anything available to a hue of the caster's choice. Harmless, right? Well, what if you took a few random spins of the color wheel on every visible dress in the Boutique and the effect never wore off? How about using it on food? Making ponies look Red and Black and Evil All Over? And that's just the beginning for the possibilities...

Magic Misfire
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_db9dd05
comment
Magic Misfire: Touching a unicorn's horn (generally meaning sharp, hard contact) while they are casting will result in backlash due to the magic field being disrupted and striking back against the caster. Depending on how much effort they're putting into their current spell, the effects can range from a blackout with a few sprains over their body (Stage 1), to severe injuries, up to and including broken bones (Stage 2), to instant death by implied grevious bodily harm (stage 3). (There's also a Stage 0, which applies to everyday manipulations and very minor spells: disrupting that usually just drops things on the floor.) These are general guidelines: the degree of backlash can also depend partially on the caster's total strength, with weaker ones experiencing milder effects. However, a Stage 3, which can only happen when a unicorn's horn is displaying a triple corona, will always be fatal.

Didn't See That Coming
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_dfa40c1b
comment
Didn't See That Coming: Twice in A Total Eclipse of the Fun: Go ahead and demonstrate an eclipse in the Lunar Courtyard to a few ponies selected from both palace staffs, just to see how the public might take it. There's no way anypony would be freaked out by the sight of Luna performing a working which seems to be blocking out Sun... and cue riot. (To be fair, Luna asked for the demonstration as a means of finding out if any ponies would have bad reactions before the sisters brought the phenomenon to the general populace. It was better to discover the problem then and there — but neither anticipated the actual panic.) An angry Celestia later fires those who started the first panic, which leads into a second instance of this trope. And thus the world's most incompetent counterrevolutionary cell was formed. When she eventually discovers all the layers of what had happened, she treats the prior gap in her knowledge as a personal failing. Luna makes a point of saying Celestia isn't omniscient (even if the older sister sometimes briefly manages to make her fall for it) and that there was no way to see this coming, but Celestia keeps insisting that she should have seen more. There may be a bit of a Guilt Complex there.

Historical In-Joke
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_dfe57573
comment
Historical In-Joke: As revealed at the end of Luna's Lottery Lunacy, Celestia had to ban tulips at some point in the past millennium, apparently because a strong pony herd mentality turned a fad into an economic bubble burst. It's a reference to Tulip Mania, a case where something very similar happened in real life. In Chapter 4 for A Mark Of Appeal, Ambassador Torque Power of Mazien tries to fight his way to Joyous while carrying a bouquet of tulips (among many others), and one of Celestia's first reactions is that she has to get them out of sight before anypony else spots them, along with wondering where he got them because she thought she'd had all the suppliers closed down. Apparently Canterlot has an underground illegal flower trade. In One Tenth-Bit, Officer Cropski's badge is obscured with wax. There was a historical means of obscuring the cracks on a plate or stoneware while in the store, while when the purchaser got home, they'd discover the imperfection upon requesting the dish be cleaned. Items sold with wax were thus cum cera, and without: sine cera, or sincere. While this etymology is generally dismissed out of hand for the most part, it does make for a cute pun.

He Who Must Not Be Seen: Murdocks, the leader of the press voice for the Loyal Opposition in Equestria. (It's generally recommended not to think too much about where being Loyally Opposed to the Princesses would put somepony's belief system.) He always sends representatives to speak for him in public and hides from all inquiries. Those outside the Corps are stuck with assumptions on how old he is, which pony race he belongs to (should he be a pony at all), or if 'he' is even the right pronoun. Celestia knows all three facts, but has never seen his face. Chapter 20 in Triptych pretty much directly states that his employees are under orders to never discuss anything about him: one reporter starts to freak out when the questions begin coming the other way.

Height Angst: Celestia hates how much bigger she is than most ponies. She was somewhat taller than average before her own ascension, and then found her height and mass gradually increasing over the next one hundred and forty years, with her begging for it to stop already all the while. Aside from any long conversation leading to neck strain in both parties, there are also multiple purely logistical concerns arising from an entire society built underscale, not to mention how hard it can be just to keep from looming. It's reached the point where she considered legally mandating that all buildings be designed to accommodate her. She hasn't actually done so, but she's considered it — several times.

Hate Sink: In-Universe, the Crystal Goose species, as unfortunately returned to Equestria in Goosed. Big, strong, hyper-aggressive, violently territorial (to the point that Fluttershy translates their name for their flock as "Owns Everything"), almost stubbornly stupid insatiable gluttons who have the least-efficient digestive system in Equestria and so leave a copious trail of unspeakably nasty feces in their wake. Their myriad names range from Ultionum Prandium (Griffonian for "Vengeance Lunch" — keep in mind, Griffons normally refuse to eat anything that they don't respect) to "Grey-Winged Shitbuckets". The textbook covering their existence notes that they went "suspiciously extinct" as soon as the Crystal Empire vanished, with the "suspiciously" being underlined three times for emphasis. Notably, they are a parody—and only mild exaggeration—of the real-world Canada Goose. To those who know them, Sweetbark and, as of Anchor Foal, Photo Finish are this both In-Universe and out. The former is Ponyville's official vet, who maintains a "perfect success rate" by forcing Fluttershy to take on any client who looks even the slightest risky — meaning Fluttershy is the pony who has to perform all of the traumatic euthanasia jobs that being a vet requires, and is often cheated out of even getting financial support for it. The latter is a crooked fashion agent who uses fine print shenanigans to cheat her models out of getting any of their hard-earned money.

Old Shameinvoked: In "Blessing", an emotionally-battered Celestia tells a pony that she's cast a spell to try and save a friend, one who was apparently about to die. Something about the nature of the casting means she doesn't even know if it worked. She's not even sure if she was trying to help or punish him — and that spell has never been cast a second time. The guilt has never gone away. It's eventually revealed that the spell was cast on Starswirl, forcing him to reincarnate again and again instead of passing on to the shadowlands.

comment
Dirty Cop: Officer Cropski in One Tenth Bit abuses his authority to harass Rarity. By the end of the story, it's revealed that he's doing the store owner a favor through trying to embarrass her so badly that she'll never return. It also backfires, as Rarity's friends go a little higher up the ladder than his.

Jerkass: Flitter, self-justified. She believes ponies blind themselves with complacency and sees it as her job to jolt them into seeing reality through making direct, rude, and what she sees as highly accurate commentary, cutting through the fog just long enough to give her target a chance at escaping the illusions. After all, dragonflies startle ponies...

The Moving Experience
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_ec2aa8e4
comment
The Moving Experience: Somewhat distorted in 100% Move = 50% Fire, which is set near the end of Season #1. The move is very real, but the purpose is to complete Twilight's transition into Ponyville by clearing out the last of her things from her rooms at the Canterlot Archives.

Innocent Innuendo: Twilight needs cash. Twilight has just received clearance to legally teleport with up to three ponies. Twilight has also noticed how unpleasant Ponyville winters are. Cue the posting of flyers advertising Twilight's Escort Service all over town.

comment
Dumbass Has a Point: The griffon in "Naked Lunch" who tries to open a butcher shop in Canterlot in a very public location is considered an idiot by Luna and Crossing Guard, but Luna claims that he actually raises a good point. The meat-eating residents of Equestria shouldn't be forced to buy meat in back-alleys and pet-shops just because meat freaks out ponies.

 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_f3626b09
comment
Mercy Kill: Fluttershy, as part of her role as animal caretaker, over and over again, taking the burden on herself every time. Made all the worse by the fact that Ponyville's only licensed vet refuses to perform the act (supposedly in defense of her success-only reputation) and sends anything fatal or even somewhat risky to the cottage. Mentioned in Triptych with off-screen example and given extra detail in Five Hundred Little Murders, which was inducted into the Royal Canterlot Library.

Capital Letters Are Magic: Played for Laughs in "Scootalift". When Scootaloo starts pursuing Snowflake, the safest place to be becomes Very Far Away From Him and That Tree she's "hiding" behind, at least until It Finally Happens. In Pinkie Pie vs. the Soufflé, the titular dessert has become That One Dish for Pinkie, who comes to mentally label the highest level of soufflé-collapsing disaster And Then Scootaloo.

Vegetarian Carnivore
 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_f9f488b8
comment
Vegetarian Carnivore: Naked Lunch notes that griffons are technically omnivores, but at least ninety percent of their diet is meat — and there's a cultural perception that voluntarily consuming too many plants lowers oneself to the status of prey. That rule is a little looser for those ponies of the Republic who think of themselves as griffons — but they can wind up being looked upon with pity or worse, and are reluctant to eat in public. More than a little of their cuisine is an elaborate game of Hide The Vegetables.

 Triptych Continuum / Fan Fic / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Scootaloo does this in "Cutie Mark Crusaders Alpha Pack Leader", obliviously listing out the basic concept of cutie marks work as what she thinks is the worst way to get one. Note that this is perfectly in-character for her, as she has a similar sort of reaction in canon to the Cutie Mark stories of everyone of the Mane Six bar Rainbow Dash and who tends to lead the charge in the Crusaders continually failing to realize why their crusades just don't work. In fact, she's so prone to this In-Universe that it's made her practically as hated amongst the adults as Diamond Tiara is amongst the youngsters.

Answer Cut: A Total Eclipse of the Fun skips from the princesses assuming that creating an eclipse won't a big deal to them standing in the ruins of Lunar Courtyard after it causes a mass panic. In Chapter 4 of the same story, Luna asks what the problem would be with having Twilight Sparkle write the one-sheet educational briefing on eclipses for distribution to the general public. One location switch later, she gets her migraine-inducing answer. Which included quantum.

comment
Brick Joke: In "On the Application of Time and Motion Efficiency Studies to Initial Relationship Formation", Lyra only participates in Twilight's Speed Dating experiment as a means of resetting library fines, because Bon-Bon can't admit she's lost the book. Nearly two years down the timeline in Orange Is The New Blue, Twilight gets Bon-Bon to leave a near-riot at Sugarcube Corner by asking her if she's willing to admit having lost the book yet. Hoovmat is introduced as a maker of shoddy biohazard suits in A Mark of Appeal. The title company in Surge Protectors! hires teens for minimum wage, gives them barely any training, and issues them flimsy uniforms that they have to pay for. The last line of the story reveals that it's a subsidiary of Hoovmat.

Cast from Lifespan: Any pony is capable of putting the last of themselves into their magic, trading their existence for a closing surge of strength: this applies to all three categories of racial castings and talents. It's a very rare event and can generally only be done when the need is a true one — but it happens.

comment
Strawman News Media: This is a universe where Gabby Gums would be a typical reporter and libel laws have not yet been drafted. The worst offenders are the news corps owned by the shadowy Murdocks, but all kinds of paparazzi become endemic to Ponyville after Twilight's coronation: being the only Princess who basically lives in the open among the general public makes her extra vulnerable. The pro-diarchy press, for their own, engage in a similar amount of fact-checking — that is to say, none.

comment
Perpetual Poverty: Caramel's is self-inflicted. He constantly buys incredibly expensive gifts for his latest fillyfriend, and thus has nothing left for little things like bills. Fluttershy is in a similar situation due to the costs of caring for all the animals she takes in. Feed costs are high, she has to purchase some rare substances for certain medicines, new medical reference texts come out every year... and some of her clients skip out on their bills in the certain knowledge that she won't take them to small claims court. She has the benefit of owning the cottage and surrounding land outright, but there's always property tax... Something like this applies to Rainbow Dash. While she's always certain to pay off every one of her bills, and never lets a single obligation slide, she's also incredibly bad at saving money, particularly since Ratchette's lovely shop produces such wonderful cameras. She accordingly has a tendency to show up at Applejack's all the time for some good old home cooking.
