Rainbow Dash is not having a good week. Between angry farmers, weird nightmares, and a splitting headache, she would do anything for it just to be over so her life can go on like normal. When she passes out and wakes up in the arms of Princess Celestia, however, she learns that her life will never be normal again. For you see, seventeen years ago, Celestia had a daughter, a beautiful pegasus filly named Aurora whom she gave up for adoption.And Rainbow Dash has just grown a horn.Alicorn is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic written by Aldea Donder where Rainbow Dash is revealed to be Celestia's alicorn daughter. Originally written in 2011 as a fan-sequel to Fairy-Slayer's oneshot Mother Nearest, it was revised slightly in 2012, and given a complete rewrite in 2015, continuing the core premise but expanding it into a larger narrative, with more rewrites in 2017 and 2019.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Played for Laughs. In chapter 4, Twilight recounts how Sweetie Belle is on vacation with her parents, leaving Rarity to lament the "loss" of her sister in typical dramatic fashion.

The Spymaster: The first time Celestia appears in the fic, she's discussing something ominous with a griffin who's gathering information through his "contacts" on behalf of Equestria. Celestia also laments that Luna is much better at espionage than her, implying she used to hold a similar position.

comment
Instantly Proven Wrong: Rainbow insists that Celestia can't buy her affections with gifts. At which point Celestia presents two tickets for the Wonderbolts, immediately causing Rainbow to declare that Celestia is cool. During the prank war between Luna, Rainbow, and Pinkie, Celestia says that she'd feel embarassed if an earth pony and former pegasus got the drop on her. She then takes a bite of a piece of cake intended for Luna that Rainbow had hidden a stormcloud inside, getting a nasty shock from it. Luna wastes no time in gloating.

 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: On a personal level, the emotional conflict between Rainbow, Celestia, and Twilight plays into a lot of trauma and emotional issues on all parties, and has no obvious solution. On an action level, the Ascendancy attack involves ponies being violently knocked around, nearly killed, and magic be used in extremely brutal ways, all perpetrated by a group of fanatic cultists. All in all, a lot darker than the children's show it's based on.

Poor Communication Kills
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: All over the place, but one of the more notable examples come about with Twilight's attempts at tutoring Rainbow. While Rainbow genuinely wants to learn and is trying her best, she simply cannot wrap her head around Twilight's lecture-heavy way of teaching, which to Twilight just feels like she's ignoring her lessons out of spite - especially since, as an alicorn, Rainbow is supposed to be naturally good at magic.

Wrong-Name Outburst: In chapter 8, Twilight, dealing with severe feelings of being The Unfavorite, goes to Celestia's room, asks to be held like she was when she was young, and if she'll always be important to Celestia. Celestia is half asleep and not clearly seeing what's going on, and having told Rainbow earlier that she's welcome to come by the room anytime, responds "Of course you will, my Aurora..."

Green-Eyed Monster: Rarity admits in an apology letter that she was jealous of Rainbow, since Rarity has always aspired to be part of high society and Rainbow became part of the quite literal top of society overnight. She's realized in hindsight that this clouded her judgement and caused her to not recognize how miserable Rainbow was over having it thrust upon her with no choice in the matter, and apologizes profusely.

Parents as People
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: Celestia does genuinely love her daughter, but she is a very flawed pony. When Rainbow demands to know why she was given away, Celestia has no better answer than that she was afraid of loving someone truly and genuinely and risk the hurt and heartache again, and of messing it up and hurting her daughter. Of course, that just hurt Rainbow even more when she actually learned the truth, and Celestia is desperate to make it right again, but by this point there's nothing she can do to make up for her failings.

comment
Failed a Spot Check: In chapter 9, both Celestia and Luna are so caught up in their conversation that they fail to notice that the two ponies that just delivered their evening meal were dressed in obviously fake moustaches, were pink and blue, had clothes and chef's hats that might cover up any horn and wings, and snickered when they left. Even worse, their discussion was about Luna's ongoing prank war with Rainbow and Pinkie.

Headache of Doom: The story kicks off with Rainbow suffering a literally splitting headache from her horn growing in, not helped by continued nightmares and hallucinations about her mother. By the sixth day, the pain hasn't lessened in the slightest, no matter how much painkiller she takes, and she eventually passes out and falls from a cloud due to the pain.

Nepotism
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_22a60f6a
comment
Nepotism: Rainbow describes the experience of being an alicorn as wearing a sign that says "Insert false praise, get favour." Everypony and their mother want to butter her up so she'll put in a good word for them, including Rarity who, emotional and scared after the Ascendancy attack, asks Rainbow if she could get Celestia to place a few extra guards to keep her family safe. Her own connection to Celestia means that Rainbow doesn't suffer any consequences for things like accidentally blowing up a dining hall, or spying on a highly confidential war meeting, since there aren't anyone who can actually enforce rules on her aside from Celestia, who's too terrified of damaging their relationship further to do anything.

Tampering with Food and Drink: Rainbow and Pinkie's first real strike during their prank war with Luna is replacing the interior of a cake she always eats at evenings with a thundercloud, giving a nasty shock to whoever bites into it. It misfires slightly, since Celestia was visiting Luna that particular night and took a bite first.

Related in the Adaptation: The core premise of the fic is that Rainbow Dash is Celestia's daughter, which also makes her Luna's niece. Cadance is stated to be a relation of Celestia, unlike in the show where she's her adopted niece. This also makes her a very distant cousin of Rainbow.

Forced Sleep: To alleviate the pain from her horn growing in, Twilight tries to use the sleeping spell she used on the Ursa Minor on Rainbow. It works, but only barely, leaving her half-conscious. It's unclear if this is because her pain is too great, or if Twilight's spell isn't powerful enough to work on an alicorn.

Sick Episode: Rainbow comes down with a bad case of feather flu, along with acute bronchitis, in episode 10. Her part of the chapter largely deals with Luna, Celestia, and the royal physician dealing with this (as well as her stubborness). At one point, delirious from sickness, Rainbow opens up all her insecurities and sorrows to Celestia, leading her to have a talk with Luna and opening herself up more to Rainbow emotionally.

Mythology Gag
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Rainbow suspects that the reason Celestia gave her away was that she wasn't born with a unicorn horn, which Celestia denies. This was the reason in the original fic by Fairy-Slayer, though in that case it was because Celestia feared an apparent pegasus wouldn't be happy in the unicorn-dominated courts of Canterlot, rather than personal prejudice on her part. Twilight pokes fun at Shining Armor for having had his and Cadance's first date at an Ogres & Oubliettes convention, in reference to the "Neigh Anything" arc of the comics, where Shining Armor's teenage romance with Cadance and his love of O&O are both a big focus. Luna, who speaks normally in this fic, mentions that she has a recurring dream of a version of herself who speaks in third person and is very loud.

Divine Parentage: Rainbow is the daughter of Celestia, an immortal demigod who raises the sun every morning, and an unnamed Earth Pony father. Rainbow herself has inherited a bit of her power, though she's clearly not as powerful as her mother, and she's still mortal. Celestia also implies that her and Luna are only half alicorn themselves.

Parental Abandonment
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_297ab1b9
comment
Parental Abandonment: Celestia, Rainbow's biological mother, left her to be raised by a regular pegasus couple when she was just a filly. Learning this as an adult feeds a lot into Rainbow's fears of never being good enough, not even for her own mother. In a rant, she tells Twilight that her adopted parents gave her everything until they died, but after that she was completely alone for years and Celestia never once thought to show up, not even when they actually met several times. Celestia did follow Rainbow's life from afar, and gave her secret help from time to time, but never said or did anything in person.

French Jerk: The Canterlot chef, who refuses to just take Rainbow's request for simple food and keeps offering extravagant dishes because making daisyburgers with fries is beneath his dignity and he considers it food fit only for "sweaty, uneducated commoners who toil in the fields and skies, bucking trees and pushing clouds," has a thick French (or Pony-French) accent.

Cryptic Background Reference: An ancient pegasus king named Atlas is mentioned a few times, hailed as having raised the heavens and lifted the world out of shadow. While the fic eventually confirms that he was Celestia and Luna's father, what accomplishments made him so renowned are left unclear. When Luna is beating herself up for being too weak, Celestia assures her that she was a victim, "As much as Hurricane, as much as Father—" What Luna, Commander Hurricane, and Celestia and Luna's father were victims of has yet to be explained.

Open Mouth, Insert Foot
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_33db913f
comment
Open Mouth, Insert Foot: Luna is not good at being reassuring, starting off her meeting with Rainbow Dash by listing all the traumas she's no doubt feeling bad about. Twilight is, if anything, even worse. At one point while Rainbow is deep in despair over her conflicting feelings over her parents, Twilight tries to reassure her by telling a story about her own childhood under Celestia's wing. Rainbow, who's deeply resentful of Celestia for abandong her as a foal, is not very happy about hearing someone else's happy childhood memories of her. The actual anecdote Twilight was trying to share does cheer Rainbow up a bit, but she phrased it in a rather unfortunate way. Celestia herself laments to Luna that no matter how much she tries, anything she says to Rainbow seems to damage their relationship further.

Deceased Parents Are the Best
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_3866ab91
comment
Deceased Parents Are the Best: Rainbow has fond memories of her late adopted parents, and a fair bit of her angst about Celestia being her biological mother is that any positive feelings she has for Celestia feels like a betrayal of the ponies she's always seen as her real parents. Celestia reminisces fondly about her own mother, who died when she was very young, while preening Rainbow Dash. She likewise speaks highly of her father, calling him the greatest pony she's ever known.

Adaptational Upbringing Change: Rainbow in the show has two loving and supporting (if a bit overenthusiastic) parents who are still alive and seem to not be in any financial trouble. In the fic, which was written long before her parents were introduced in the show, her parents were poor and sickly, but did their best to give her a happy childhood before dying when she was eleven, and she seems to have gotten by on her own since then, helped by an inheritance she happened to receive after their deaths (really a gift from Celestia).

Orphaned Etymology: Twilight at one point mentions that she can count on one hoof the number of times she's met Luna after the first. Presumably the amount she can count on one hoof is one, which may be intentional. Definitely intentional in chapter 9, where Pinkie suggests a Chinese fingertrap to prank Luna with, and Rainbow asks what a finger is.

Parental Love Song: Celestia sung a lullaby to Rainbow when she was a child, and sings it to a her again when her horn starts growing in, and again in chapter 10 when she's sick,

Batman Can Breathe in Space: Equestria's moon has a breathable atmosphere, since both Pinkie and a hydra (It Makes Sense in Context) can survive there just fine. Luna and Rainbow Dash can too, but both are alicorns so they might actually be able to survive in vacuum.

Painful Transformation
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_5ff9310b
comment
Painful Transformation: It's only a small part rather than a full transformation, but turning into an alicorn is agonizing, particularily the horn growing in. Rainbow suffers a week long headache that steadily gets worse until she's delirious from pain, at one point hitting herself in the head with her hoof just to make the pain stop. According to Celestia, the alicorns of old called this process "Unity", and everyone had to go through it, though for them it happened at a young age, and was faster and much less painful.

Heartfelt Apology
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_60907b2d
comment
Heartfelt Apology: Rarity writes a letter to Rainbow in chapter 11, apologizing for how she took her anger and frustration over recent events out on Rainbow, and for having let her jealousy over Rainbow's newfound royalty cloud her judgement so she didn't realize how utterly miserable Rainbow was. It goes over several paragraphs and is clearly written from the heart. Twilight reads it first since she couldn't help her curiosity, and it has the effect of making her realize that she's been unfair to Rainbow as well. Too bad Rainbow never reads it, since Twilight burns it in a Nightmare-induced bout of spite and anger after Rainbow ends their friendship.

comment
Hell Is That Noise: Rainbow Dash's screams and sobs of pain in chapter 1 are repeatedly mentioned as being horrible to listen to, and several characters have to leave the room because it becomes too much. Of course, this is less about the noise itself being hellish and more about the fact that their friend is in pain and they cant do anything to help.

Color-Coded Wizardry
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_61cd6e2b
comment
Color-Coded Wizardry: Different unicorns (and alicorns) have different coloured magic, usually reflecting their eyecolour. The ones from the show retain theirs, while the others; The Ascendancy cultists have pitch black magic, likely the result of being enchanted by Black Magic prior to going into battle. Inversely, Rainbow Dash's magic, once she learns to use it, is pure white. Interestingly, this does not reflect her eyecolour, nor does it match her mother's (who's aura is yellow gold). Blood Magic, when seen through Twilight's True Sight spell, is sickly red.

Converse with the Unconscious: Celestia has a lengthy talk while preening Rainbow in chapter 10, telling her about how she watched her mother die when she was even younger than Rainbow was when her parents died, something that she has never told anyone, not even Luna. Or at least she would have, if Rainbow was awake for it, but Celestia admits that she's too cowardly to talk to her while she's awake.

Gilligan Cut: In chapter 2, Twilight convinces Snips and Snails that the rumor about Rainbow growing a horn is ridiculous, and pats herself on the back for having saved her friend from the clawing hooves of the press. Then it cuts to a couple mares gossiping with a journalist about that same rumor on the train to Manehattan. In chapter 6, the narration describes how Twilight is in complete control of her emotion, only to cut to Twilight's internal monologue giving a Cluster F-Bomb.

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Rather than just saying outright that she's her mother, Celestia choses to explain it by recounting how she met an Earth Pony diplomat who made her laugh after centuries of solitude, and how that led to an "indiscretion." Rainbow, meanwhile, is regaining memories of being held in Celestia's arms as a filly, until she finally realizes what Celestia is trying to tell her.

comment
The Masquerade: Rainbow is initially kept secret to the public, for her own safety since a child of Celestia would be a target for both dissenters and the media. It lasts for maybe a week, when she gets sick of being locked in the castle and goes for a very obvious flight through the city, before stumbling into a war council full of officials who didn't know about her. Her exact relation to Celestia is still unknown a month after her ascension, though ponies that know about her can make an educated guess (she's too old to be Luna's, and she has a Strong Family Resemblance to Celestia).

Thicker Than Water: Celestia and Rainbow's relationship starts out deeply broken on unspeakably many levels, but slowly, over time, they start growing closer. Not to anything resembling a normal mother-daughter relationship, mind you, but as Celestia starts actually spending time with Rainbow, always letting her set the terms of their relationship, Rainbow responds in kind by seeking out Celestia's company, talking with her about shared interests or asking for help with magic she's struggling with. Eventually, Celestia and Rainbow find themselves spending time together daily.

Not Quite the Right Thing: Whitehoof thinks that he'd be a poor teacher to Rainbow and suggests that they bring in Twilight Sparkle instead, since she and Rainbow are friends and she might get through to her better. Well-reasoned, as it goes, but also very very wrong since Twilight's theory-heavy way of learning absolutely does not mesh with Rainbow, and only causes a rift between them.

comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In chapter 10, Twilight sits Tristar down and insists on him telling her why he's such a jerkass to her. What follows is a vicious verbal lashing as Tristar points out how sheltered and naïve Twilight is, a beneficiary of Equestria's heavy bias towards unicorns who is utterly ignorant to the fact that she was born into privilege and acts like nothing is wrong simply because she can't see the problems from the top of the pyramid. He also takes an aside to call out her resentment of Rainbow. He may not like her, but at least he's not claiming to be her friend while harboring anger and jealousy over something she has no control over.

Dysfunction Junction: Oh lord yes, everyone is dealing with something or other that often cause emotional conflict between them and their loved ones. Rainbow Dash is lashing out because her life is undergoing massive unwanted changes, Twilight is struggling with jealousy, Celestia is a deeply flawed parent who plays favourites without even realizing, Luna has a massive guilt complex, Rarity is projecting her fears onto the people around her, Tristar is a gargantuan jerkass, Whitehoof's attempts at being reassuring generally just make the issues worse, and that's barely touching on it. Much of the fic is focused on exploring how these emotional issues clash in the most catastrophic ways.

Alternate Universe: The fic diverges strongly from canon, not just in Rainbow's parentage but also in the nature of alicorns, as there is no ascension and the only way to become one is to be born as one. The timeline has also taken a hit, as the fic takes place after Discord's return, and before Shining Armor and Cadance's wedding, which would place it in season 2, but season 3 episodes like "Wonderbolt Academy" and "Magic Duel" have already happened.

Commonality Connection: Celestia and Rainbow eventually start bonding a bit over a shared love for sports, as well as Celestia's understanding of how difficult it is to be a princess at such a young age (she herself was crowned when she was 16, one year younger than Rainbow is now). In chapter 10, Celestia confides in an unconscious Rainbow that she knows all too well what it is like to lose your parents young, to be willing to do anything to have them back, and to be lonely.

 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: The fic is a deconstruction of stories that focus on one character in an Ensemble Cast by making them much more important and powerful than the rest (in this case via Really Royalty Reveal). Rainbow Dash is revealed to be the alicorn daughter of princess Celestia, making her functionally a demigod far above her friends in both power and status, and it tears a massive rift in their friendship. The difference in status means that they really can't interact the way they used to, and Rainbow being both an alicorn and Celestia's daughter causes a lot of jealousy and resentment from Twilight. It also examines how suddenly becoming one of the most important and powerful people in the world overnight affects Rainbow emotionally and functionally ruins her life.

Rule of Symbolism
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: After the main hall is used as a battlefield, the only part that is unscathed of Manehattan Central Station is the roof, enchanted to look like the night sky. Considering that the attackers were Nightmare cultists, it's rather apropos. During an argument between Rainbow and Celestia, a nearby phoenix chick starts crying over the loud noise. Rainbow proceeds to ignore the argument to soothe the chick, while Celestia tells her to ignore it because its mother will come around soon. This pretty much boils down to the failures in their relationship; Rainbow avoids Celestia as much as she can, while Celestia abandoned Rainbow when she was a child. Celestia bitterly remarks the cruel joke of Laughter being the element that no longer resonated with her after she banished Luna to the moon; Without her little sister, there was no joy left in her life. Whitehoof instructs Rainbow in magic by having her snuff out a purple candle. In the scene that follows, Rainbow is pushed into ending her friendship with Twilight, and the scene ends with her snuffing out the candle with her magic.

Dynamic Entry: Celestia in general tends to make her appearance accompanied by sunlight. At the battle of Manehattan Central Station, her entrance is heralded by warm sunlight flooding through every window, every cultist being easily put down for the count, and a pillar of fire so bright that ponies have to avert their eyes. By the time she herself actually appears, there isn't a battle anymore.

In Vino Veritas: Played for Drama in chapter 10. After getting drunk on cough syrup, Rainbow spills all her heartache and insecurities to Celestia, including her grief over her parents' deaths, how messed up her life has gotten, her wishing that Twilight was still her friend, and how she feels that Celestia gave her up because she wasn't good enough. She even expresses some suicidal thoughts. By the end, Rainbow is asleep and Celestia is falling apart.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Celestia warns Rainbow that, no matter what she wishes, being her daughter means that her life will change, and not necessarily for the better. This sadly turns out to be true, as everypony around Rainbow treat her differently because of her horn, even her best friends. After the Ascendancy attack, the first such incident in over a century, Twilight somberly thinks on how she's living in a new world. Nightmare Moon and Discord may have been big threats, but a terrorist attack from a group of fanatic cultists is a much more worldly and tangible horror.

Foreshadowing: In chapter 1, Rainbow jokes that playing Monopony with Twilight will ruin their friendship forever. A big part of the rest of the story is Rainbow and Twilight's deteriorating friendship due to very different circumstances. In chapter 11, Luna describes her fall as having burned bridges, and warns Twilight that if she ever ends up in a similar situation, "don't burn it." The chapters ends with Twilight being influenced by the Nightmare into burning Rarity's apology letter to Rainbow.

Awesome Moment of Crowning
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_a00c13e0
comment
Awesome Moment of Crowning: Discussed. Rainbow doesn't want a crown, which Celestia respects, and any actual crowning would be purely ceremonial since she's been a princess since the day of her birth. Celestia does, however, want to make ceremony out of introducing Rainbow as her daughter, since not having a proper introduction would lead to scaremongering and speculation in the papers, and she's so used to the trappings of royalty that she feels it's required to be a grand ceremony. Rainbow flatly refuses, since being introduced to the public as Celestia's daughter would mean that no one in Equestria would ever think of her as anything other than "Princess Bucking Aurora."

My God, What Have I Done?: In chapter 11, Twilight reads a letter from Rarity to Rainbow which gets her to realize that she's been completely blind to Rainbow's mental state ever since she moved to Canterlot, and a later speech from Shining about the little tests one is put through in life - tests like empathy and compassion - has her fully realizing how callous and dismissive she has been of Rainbow's issues due to being too caught up in her own jealousy and arrogance.

Good Parents: Rainbow has nothing but good things to say about her adopted parents, who worked hard to give her everything they could and was always there for her when she was young. Sadly, they died when she was eleven. Twilight Velvet and Night Light are deeply loved by their children, and raised them both to be good and well-adjusted adults. Celestia herself says that she admires them for that, while clearly thinking of her own less-than-ideal relationship with her daughter.

Rule of Three: The reasons Luna lists for why Rainbow should move to Canterlot are; She has a horn (so she might accidentally hurt someone due to not knowing her own magical strength); She has a horn (so the press will hound her constantly and never give her a moment's peace); And she has a horn (so people might come after her with ill intent due to her being Celestia's daughter). In chapter 11, Twilight tries to plead with Rainbow that they're friends three times before Rainbow tells her to stuff it

Adaptational Jerkass: In general, most of the characters are a lot more rude, aggressive, and insensitive than in the original show. Tropes Are Tools, however, as this is caused by generally more stressful and even traumatic situations. Case in point, Rainbow is dealing with massive upheaval that has changed her entire life for the worse and is lashing out in anger, Twilight is dealing with envy for Rainbow's situation and unintentionally lets that bleed into how she acts around her, and Rarity nearly lost her sister and father in a terrorist attack and is projecting her own fear and distress onto the ponies around her.

Dramatic Irony: After the Ascendancy attack, newspapers slam Celestia for being so late to enter the fray, arriving a whole five minutes after the royal guard. As the reader knows by then, this is because Celestia was busy keeping the injured alive, and her being late is the only reason there were no casualties.

Armor-Piercing Response: When Rainbow first learns the truth about her parentage and accuses Celestia of being a liar, Celestia insists that she would never lie to her. Rainbow yells back that Celestia has lied to her her entire life. During a bad argument regarding Rainbow's introduction to the public, Celestia offhandedly mentions that she's been sheltering her from the press. Rainbow, furious, tells Celestia that everything she has ever done has been the opposite of sheltering her, which shuts the argument down on Celestia's side (and causes Rainbow to break down in tears).

Story Breadcrumbs: The story takes this approach to anything surrounding Celestia and Luna's backstory and the Nightmare. Rather than revealing anything through exposition dumps, it gives small hints divided across multiple chapters, and any actual explanations are so vague that the reader has to put several of them together to make a clear picture. For example, Celestia remarks that her family was happy until the Nightmare came, later describes how her mother was killed by something resembling a storm, and Luna says the Nightmare came like a storm. Alone these are vague, together they paint a clear picture of what happened.

Be Careful What You Wish For: In the first chapter, Rainbow looks at a poster for the Wonderbolts and tells herself that she has to show she's good enough. Being revealed as Celestia's daughter and an alicorn certainly shows that she's good enough for just about anything, but only due to the priviliege of her birth and nothing she herself did. Not to mention that it locks her out of virtually any careerpath that is not Princess.

Gilded Cage: How Rainbow feels about Canterlot. She can't leave the castle, she's not allowed to fly, and she is attended by guards and servants who care more about what is proper than what she wants. After an incident where she gets into a fight with the royal guard because she went out flying, Celestia gives her free rein to leave the castle when she wants. Twilight likewise can't leave the castle, and isn't very happy about it because it keeps her away from her friends.

This Is My Chair: On her first day in Canterlot, Rainbow goes to eat and plops down in Celestia's chair, much to the staff's horror. She doesn't really see the issue since Celestia isn't there anwyay (and Celestia probably wouldn't mind or dare to argue about it). She does it again with Luna's chair during dinner with her, Celestia, and Twilight. While Twilight is horrified, Rainbow makes a joke of it that Luna finds amusing and plays along with.

Hypocritical Humor: When Twilight and Rainbow find a set of eyeholes to spy through, Twilight initially refuses because it's too risky. Then Rainbow remarks that Celestia is on the other side, and Twilight immediately gets in place to have a look.

Tantrum Throwing: After the reunion with her daughter goes poorly, Celestia locks herself in her room, tells the guards she is not to be disturbed, and wrecks the entire room with both hoof and magic. The first item she throws is a bust of herself, which reflects how she feels at the moment.

Catch-22 Dilemma

comment
Catch-22 Dilemma: Played for laughs. Rainbow's guards won't let her enter a restaurant before doing a security sweep, but it's also raining outside and they're protecting her from the rain with their wings, so they can't go do the security sweep without risking the princess getting wet. Rainbow pops a vein before yelling at them to get on with it.

It was Luna's idea, since a more public guard would interrupt their daily lives. As soon as she learns, Rainbow starts theorizing on who it is.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Rainbow Dash is well aware that she's Book Dumb, especially when compared with Twilight, and has very low self-esteem in part because of that. Yet, Celestia calls her one of the wisest ponies she's ever known because of her simple-yet-profound view on things, and praises her for being smart enough to recognize Canterlot for the gilded cage it is rather than thirst for power and prestige.

Hope Spot: In chapter 11, Twilight reunites with Shining Armor, is reassured by Celestia that she loves her and sees her as a daughter, and a letter from Rarity causes her to relize how unfairly she's been treating Rainbow, resolving to apologize and make amends. The main emotional conflict of the episode finally seems like it's about to be resolved, only for Whitehoof to whisper some choice words in Rainbow's ears, causing her to realize the exact reason why Twilight has been acting so weird lately and make her question if Twilight really is her friend. When Twilight comes to apologize, Rainbow is in no mood to listen, giving her a furious verbal lashing before telling her that she hates her and ending their friendship for good. And to make things worse, the Nightmare is quick to exploit Twilight's despair afterward, the chapter ending on Twilight burning an apology letter intended for Rainbow.

The Dark Arts: Twilight lists necromancy, blood magic, and chaos magic as schools of magic that have been outlawed since the day of the ancient unicorn kingdom, and only trained mages like Twilight can even recognize it when she sees it. Of course, the Ascendancy makes full use of them. Tristar also calls Whitehoof's communication orbs black magic, but that's probably just Tristar being Tristar.

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: Luna reads a book called Crime and Ponyshment. In chapter 9, Pinkie gives Rainbow a briefing á la Mission: Impossible. Rainbow compares Luna's fight with the Hydra to a Michael Hay movie. Chapter 10 is named Once Upon A December, after the song from Anastasia. The scene in chapter 11 where Twilight sees the Nightmare in Whitehoof's orb is very reminiscent of Pippin seeing Sauron through the Palantír.

She has personal experience with this, the press having done a lot of scaremongering around her less-than-ideal return to Equestria, and gives it as a reason that Rainbow should move to Canterlot.

Hannibal Lecture: Bedlam T. Bustle is good at this. During his interrogation by Tristar, he gets him to lose his composure by graphically describing what it must be for a pegasus to fall to their deaths - specifically Tristar's wife and child. During his interrogation by Twilight, he unsettles her by flirting, uses her anger and frustation to break her composure, and fully unbalances her by suggesting that she has seen the Nightmare just like he has. In an unintentional instance, he also tells Twilight that Celestia doesn't love her - which is just part of his dogma, but happens to trigger Twilight's Mommy Issues.

Master Race
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_f2fe5ff8
comment
Master Race: Discussed. Tristar's view on Equestrian society is that unicorns are on top, since their magic powers all the technology, their telekinesis lets them perform fine tasked that other ponies simply can't, and they are constantly inventing new spells and technologies that render the other tribes' specialities obsolete (citing Flim and Flam's apple picking and cider squeezing machine as an example). Worth noting is that Tristar is himself pretty racist, though he does make some points. He also calls out Twilight, a unicorn, for being ignorant to the way society favours her and gives her the privilege to succeed that she wouldn't have if she wasn't born at the top.

Easily Forgiven: After ignoring her daughter in favour of work out of fear for a while, Celestia expects Rainbow to be furious at her. To her surprise, Rainbow takes it in stride, understanding that taking care of the Ascendancy was more important, and thanking her for saving Sweetie Belle and her father. She's still angry and resentful, but she understands that Celestia has important things to deal with.

Platonic Declaration of Love: Celestia tries to tell Rainbow that she loves her when the truth first comes out, though Rainbow is in no mood to hear it then. She does it again while taking care of an unconscious and sick Rainbow in chapter 10.

comment
Ambiguously Related: Cadance is described as Celestia's many-times-great niece. Since Celestia only has one sibling, this would presumably make Cadance a very distant descendant of Luna, unless he's adopted or related differently and "niece" is just shorthand.

Great Offscreen War: Twilight dates the Canterlot Warrens to sometime before the War of the Night Eternal, presumably the offical term for the whole Nightmare Moon business. Celestia gives some more details in chapter 10.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Rainbow is the daughter of Princess Celestia, Scion of the Realm, next in line to the throne, and has helped save Equestria several times, but you wouldn't know from the way the Royal Guard treats her. Captain Tristar views her with obvious disdain, yelling at her like she's an out-of-line soldier and at one point ordering his soldiers to assault her when she refuses to follow his orders without an explanation. Justified because Tristar is a colossal Jerkass who hates Rainbow, and Rainbow is too prideful to ask Celestia to stop him.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: When a server at a restaurant in Ponyville starts bowing and scraping for princess Aurora, Rainbow points out that she worked as a weatherpony in the town less than a month ago and knows the server personally. At which point he keeps acting the exact same way but switches to calling her Princess Rainbow Dash.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: Rainbow jokingly suggests that Pinkie could throw an encyclopedia-themed party for Twilight. The next chapter, guess what the theme of Pinkie's party for Rainbow is. Applejack calls Rainbow's horn a can opener first time she sees it, much to Rarity's horror. Several chapters later, one of the assignments Twilight gives Rainbow when tutoring her in magic is opening a can. Early in chapter 9, Pinkie suggests that they can prank Luna with a snake nut can (i.e. springloaded snakes in a can), which Rainbow dismisses as too basic. At the end of the chapter, their final prank does include a snake nut can, this time loaded with a fully grown hydra (with Celestia's help). Also in chapter 9, Rainbow remarks that Luna probably doesn't eat donuts cause they don't have donut shops on the moon, much to Pinkie's horror. Part of their prank on Luna with Celestia's help is to create a phantasmal donut shop on the moon.

Innocently Insensitive
 Alicorn (Fanfic) / int_ff17ccf1
comment
Innocently Insensitive: Rarity catches a rather bad case of this in chapter 6. Being scared and emotional after her father and sister are hospitalized from a terrorist attack causes her to pressure Rainbow into sending extra royal guards for protection, call Rainbow ungrateful for not appreciating the safety and security she has in Canterlot, and make an insensitive remark about Rainbow having no family members left in Ponyville to lose, which happens to check the list of everything Rainbow hates about her life at the moment. It escalates into a rather bad argument until Rainbow storms off.
