Not only does Shining Armor become brainwashed by Queen Chrysalis as per canon, but his wedding is forcibly cancelled, he's stripped of his title as Captain of the Royal Guard, and Hildread beats him up. He returns to Canterlot to make amends with his little sister, only for her to bitterly reject him and allow him to get arrested. The next day, Shining endures a brutal public flogging for "disgracing" the Guard and he learns that many of his friends in the Guard been murdered. On top of that, he is informed that Twilight is engaged to a sociopath who is ready to kill her if he finds her to be an inconvenience. Shining attempts to warn his sister, but his pleas fall on deaf ears because of Jewelius' manipulations and Twilight's lingering trust issues.

comment
Dirty Coward: Jewelius is this under his arrogance, for he never actually takes part in fights. When he just keeps yelling the order to reimprison the heroes from the safety of his booth and the escaped Queen Chrysalis sneaks up on him, he panics and runs for his life while yelling for Twilight to save him. Once the heroes have defeated all his minions and blocked all his escape routes in the climax, he pathetically tries to bargain for his life with hollow promises. Garble's friends Clump and Baff think they have nothing to fear from Fluttershy as they chase her around the arena. However, once she becomes enraged and knocks out Clump, Baff tries to flee.

comment
Heroic BSoD: Princess Celestia apparently suffers one during her sentencing in the sixth chapter. While the other heroes try to make a case for themselves, Celestia remains silent, most likely out of despondence because she's still in shock over suddenly losing her authority and prestige due to her nephew using her failures against her. Twilight suffers this when she finds out how evil Jewelius truly is and that she helped another monster seize the throne, destroy her friends, teacher and brother's public image and turn her against them.

Darker and Edgier: Much more than the actual episode itself, with the main characters being sentenced to slavery, a public hanging that's narrowly interrupted, a large number of injured military figures being murdered simply for staying loyal to the usurped royalty, and an army attacking a small town with the orders to wipe out all the inhabitants. And those are only the most notable examples.

Hitler Ate Sugar: Jewelius believes that the town of Ponyville is guilty by virtue of being the Mane Five's hometown. Out of spite, he punishes the town by raising taxes, prohibiting trade, and deploying his guards to intimidate its citizens.

Universally Beloved Leader
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_17b7ab65
comment
For Celestia specifically, she is nearly killed (twice) by a nephew she never would have believed to be capable of cruelties at least as bad as Queen Chrysalis. She's unable to convince him to choose redemption and has to witness him corrupting her former kingdom and faithful student against her, turning the utter adoration they felt for her into hatred. She is nearly publicly hanged, and only by giving her former subjects and Twilight a heartbreaking apology speech she manages to engender forgiveness from all of them before Luna rescues her from the death of being choked. She also finds out, much to the horror of both Shining Armor and herself, that many of the injured royal guards who remained loyal to them were murdered while they were in banishment. By the time she and the others find refuge in Ponyville, she's starting to lose hope of Twilight coming around and helping them against Jewelius until Cadance urges her not to give up on her faithful student yet.

Staging the Eavesdrop: Under Jewelius' orders, Hildread and Shackle go to Spike's new lair under the pretense of searching for escaped Changelings who might have stolen Jewelius' identity and are planning to get revenge against Twilight. Spike is allowed to overhear this "secret", prompting him to gather the other heroes and return to Canterlot for Twilight, just like Jewelius intended.

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Jewelius convinces Twilight and Canterlot's population that he's doing what's best for everypony by bringing down the princesses under whose rule the Changelings managed to attack as well as by making examples out of them and the other ponies who are responsible for it. His true motives are ambition, hatred, cruelty, and jealousy.

Scarpia Ultimatum: A G-rated example. When Twilight finally realizes how evil Jewelius actually is and breaks off their engagement, he reveals that her parents are in his dungeons and threatens to make them look like victims of the Changelings if she doesn't remain by his side. She complies for her parents' sake, but the Changeling who disguises himself as Raven Inkwell frees Twilight from this predicament by rescuing her parents that same night.

The Sociopath
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Jewelius turns out to be under his considerate façade a conceited and manipulative monster who's willing to cause death and ruination out of spite or to get rid of a small group of ponies. He's been secretly jealous of his aunt and cousin for years, resenting them for "overshadowing" him when neither of them has given any plausible reason for this bitterness. He delights in inflicting psychological pain to his enemies and egotistically regards his tyrannical rule to be glorious and superior to that of Celestia. He also cares nothing for anypony beyond their usefulness to him.

Love-Interest Traitor
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_1a235210
comment
Love-Interest Traitor: Jewelius to Twilight. He stirs in her affections toward him with his adorable and considerate façade as well as by showing more empathy toward her than everypony else, even singing "Love is in Bloom" and dancing with her. After he has manipulated her to lose all trust in her brother, friends and mentor, he eventually convinces her to accept his proposal and become his queen. In reality, he's only taking advantage of her and wants the magical prodigy to bear him powerful offspring to continue his legacy. He's also open to the possibility of arranging an accidental death for her so that he can marry an even more powerful unicorn mare if he happens to find one. Before encountering Twilight, Jewelius was this to Queen Chrysalis as well. Managing to trick her into striking with him a partnership of villainous affection despite the fact that she couldn't drain love from him, he helped her infiltrate Canterlot so that they could conquer Equestria together. However, he decided that Twilight Sparkle — a magical prodigy far younger and possibly more powerful than the Changeling Queen — would be a more valuable pawn, so he broke his partnership with the Changelings and helped Twilight stop their invasion. His betrayal was a genuine surprise to Chrysalis, and she tries to get revenge on him after she escapes from his dungeons, succeeding in the climax.

In the climax, he launches an attack on Ponyville with the intention to wipe out the townsfolk along with the heroes.

Welcome Back, Traitor: After Jewelius' manipulations twist Twilight's views regarding her friends, brother and mentor, and her bitterness over their abandonment of her gets the better of her when she mistakenly believes they caused Cadance to become injured, she imprisons them in a magic dome, allows them be arrested, and does very little to help them in their bad predicament. However, once she has her Jerkass Realization and Jewelius proves true her former loved ones' words about his evilness, she seeks out her friends, brother and mentor who all forgive her right away because they don't blame her for being tricked by a guy who successfully tricked everyone, and because they acknowledge that they share a part of the blame in him exploiting her weakened faith in all of them.

Villain Ball: Jewelius successfully usurps Equestria's throne, destroys the public images of most of the heroes, paints himself as the respected Holy King, and has Twilight Sparkle under his hoof as his student and fiancée. This doesn't satisfy him enough though, so he lures the banished heroes (who all feel themselves to be utter failures without knowing about his role in the invasion) back to Canterlot and reveals everything to them out of a need to gloat and his desire to kill his aunt and cousin. After they, as well as the Changelings, have escaped, he destroys his own credibility by refusing to divert his attention from the heroes to the Changelings (when the public is more concerned about the Changelings' threat) and letting his true sociopathic nature shine. By the time he assaults Ponyville, not only has Twilight Sparkle returned to the heroes' side and brought the Elements of Harmony to their disposal, but the entire city of Canterlot has realized that they were better off under Celestia's rule.

After everything Chrysalis put her through, Cadance is unfairly exiled from Canterlot by Jewelius, her favorite cousin and surrogate little brother. Upon returning to Canterlot, she's attacked, tortured and planned to be killed by Jewelius who has for years hated her simply because of her popularity and convinced Chrysalis to go through with the Changeling invasion on Cadance's wedding day.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: The Royal Guards are usually loyal to Princess Celestia in the show's canon. Here however, they turn against her and Shining Armor due to Jewelius' manipulations. Some of them cause trouble in Ponyville even when not ordered so by Jewelius. In fact, they aren't even against the idea of massacring Ponyville! However, this is subverted with the revelation that after banishing the heroes, Jewelius had many of the injured guards who remained loyal to the princesses murdered and replaced with criminals bribed to be loyal to him. The one guard who dares to question the idea of attacking Ponyville is promptly thrown out of a window by Jewelius.

Once Twilight has stopped the Changelings and Celestia tells her she has a real wedding to put together, Jewelius uses that moment to bring up the disastrous consequences of the invasion as well as the mistakes made by the heroes (other than Twilight) to show everypony else how crazy the heroes are to plan a new wedding right after they inadvertently allowed the Changelings to conquer Equestria.

Not Brainwashed: While calling out the heroes in the fifth chapter, Jewelius demands Shining Armor to tell if the verbal smackdown he gave Twilight at the rehearsal was entirely caused by Chrysalis' mind-control. The shameful Shining Armor decides to be honest and answers that he was able to make his own decisions. One of the 11th chapter's flashbacks confirms that Chrysalis gained full control of Shining Armor only when he came to console her after the confrontation at the rehearsal.

Jewelius originally helped Chrysalis in carrying out her canon plan so that they would rule Equestria together. However, after Jewelius spent time with Twilight and secretly witnessed when Chrysalis sent her into the underground caverns, he came up with a new plan. He first sent Vivian to subdue the brainwashed bridesmaids so that Twilight and the real Cadance could come to expose Chrysalis. Then he had Twilight subdue all the Changelings by shrinking them with the spell he showed her earlier after the other heroes' efforts to stop the Changelings fail. And finally, he tricked everypony into thinking all the heroes but Twilight are to blame for the disastrous invasion ever happening.

Ironic Echo: Plenty of ironic echoes are said following the Changeling invasion and Jewelius' takeover. After the banished heroes are taken away, Jewelius uses Chrysalis' line "This day has been just perfect!" Chrysalis uses that line again after her Changelings have killed Jewelius and she prepares to take down the heroes who are exhausted from fighting his minions. When Shining Armor is being taken to slavery, he mulls over Twilight and says something similar to what she said after she was left at the rehearsal. When Twilight chews out her former friends, brother and mentor for (seemingly) getting Cadance hurt (thanks to Jewelius' manipulations), she finishes by using their parting words from the wedding rehearsal. After she has left, Jewelius appears and exchanges with Shining Armor exactly the same words Twilight exchanged with Chrysalis before being imprisoned by the latter. When Jewelius announces to the imprisoned heroes that he and Twilight are engaged, he mentions the title of the "Love is in Bloom" song which they sung together in the second chapter. When Jewelius finally shows Twilight his true colors, he cruelly reminds her of the reassurance she gave him in the second chapter: 'ponies would surely recognize him if he did something spectacular'. Of course she didn't mean that spectacular to be something utterly devious. In the climax, Jewelius calls Chrysalis his love while begging for her help. Before she orders her Changelings to eat him, she reminds him that he called her a despicable animal in the 11th chapter.

After betraying the Changelings, Jewelius treats them as if they're just savage beasts, even calling Chrysalis a "despicable animal" in the 11th chapter. They end up killing him like a pack of hungry animals would.

Brutal Honesty: Deconstructed twice with Shining Armor. When Jewelius demands Shining Armor to tell if he was entirely under the effects of Chrysalis' mind-control spell when he renounced Twilight, the captain admits in shame that wasn't the case. Unfortunately for Shining, Jewelius uses this confession to make him look like a complete jerk who was willing to disown his sister and neglect his duties as Canterlot's protector in favor of his wedding, leaving out the other side of the story. Twilight herself doesn't take her brother's confession that his harsh words to her weren't completely caused by the brainwash very well, and this blow helps Jewelius in corrupting her to lose all trust in Shining Armor and disown him as an act of revenge. When the original bridesmaids demand the imprisoned heroes to tell them why nopony else but Twilight cared about their disappearance, Shining Armor straight-out tells them that Chrysalis claimed they were in the wedding only because they wanted to meet royalty. Utterly mortified that such lies were believed about them, Twinkleshine bursts into tears, and everypony becomes even more angry with Shining Armor because of this.

Only Sane Man: Subverted majorly with Jewelius. He's the only pony who actually bothers to talk seriously with Twilight about her misgivings and acknowledge that some things don't feel to be right with his "cousin". He tries to nicely convince the Mane Five to consider if their sudden promotion to bridesmaids is strange and cautions Twilight not to do anything drastic… all for naught. He suggests at the rehearsal that Twilight's actions were born out of a serious misconception and not real spite, but nopony listens to him. Even when he drops all pretences of politeness and steals the throne after the Changelings are defeated, he's still right to point out to the rejoicing heroes that due to the casualties and damages born out of the invasion, the time is not appropriate to start planning a new wedding. After that, his behavior can't be called sane. It ultimately turns out that Jewelius was in Chrysalis' plans all along and only played things in his own favor. Fancy Pants when it comes to Canterlot's population. Not only he's never shown speaking lowly about the banished heroes, but he's also one of the first ponies to protest against the Public Execution of Celestia after hearing the remorseful final speech of the former princess. After all the Changelings have escaped, he actually argues against Jewelius when the latter wants to focus on finding the escaped heroes at the expense of preparing against a new Changeling invasion.

Birds of a Feather: Twilight bonds with Jewelius when he tells her that he too has noticed the strange behavior of his "cousin" but remained silent about it because nopony would listen to him either on the matter. He also immediately gets in sync with Twilight when she starts singing "Love is in Bloom". Subverted since Jewelius doesn't really love Twilight and is only playing on superficial similarities in order to win her affection.

Jewelius to Twilight. He stirs in her affections toward him with his adorable and considerate façade as well as by showing more empathy toward her than everypony else, even singing "Love is in Bloom" and dancing with her. After he has manipulated her to lose all trust in her brother, friends and mentor, he eventually convinces her to accept his proposal and become his queen. In reality, he's only taking advantage of her and wants the magical prodigy to bear him powerful offspring to continue his legacy. He's also open to the possibility of arranging an accidental death for her so that he can marry an even more powerful unicorn mare if he happens to find one.

When Cadance is injured and imprisoned in the medical wing, Jewelius plans to have her killed while making it look like everything was done to save her. After the other fugitives escape and try to rescue her, they're caught by Jewelius and Vivian who then attempt to murder Cadance and frame the escaped heroes for it. Fortunately, Cadance has just managed to free herself.

Frame-Up: Jewelius delivers a New Era Speech to Canterlot, pinning the blame for the invasion on all the other heroes but Twilight. The heroes' failed panic-induced escape attempt only supports Jewelius' claims, and he is able to turn all of Canterlot against them by branding them as traitors, while he takes the throne for himself. It is later revealed that Jewelius himself orchestrated the invasion of Canterlot with the Changelings before betraying them. After Celestia dispels the hatred felt towards her with a highly repentant apology speech during her failed execution, Jewelius attempts to maintain that hatred by trying to murder an injured Cadence in the medical wing and blaming the escaped heroes for it. Unfortunately for Jewelius, Cadence has broken free on her own and renders her rotten cousin unconscious with a magic blast, allowing the heroes — along with all of the Changelings — to escape from Canterlot. When Jewelius loses the support of Twilight, he tries to label her a traitor for joining the exiled heroes. It doesn't work, and when he angrily declares showing support/sympathy for the dishonored heroes to be an act of treason, it ends up costing him the support of Canterlot's citizens as well.

My Master, Right or Wrong: Vivian, Jewelius' personal assistant, always carries out her master's will even though she's not sadistic or very emotional otherwise. She does express some pity for the injured Royal Guards Jewelius orders to be murdered, grows concerned over Jewelius' mental state in the 17th chapter, reacts to his decision to wipe out the entire town of Ponyville with uneased expressions, and is horrified when he kills a guard just for questioning his actions. When Rainbow Dash points out how hypocritical it is of Vivian to judge her of blind loyalty while she serves Jewelius who started the entire Changeling invasion, Vivian acknowledges that to be true and goes on to explain that she serves Jewelius because she thinks he can bring ponies independence to guarantee their own protection without the alicorns or the Elements of Harmony.

Must Make Amends: After they're exiled, the Mane Five, Spike, Celestia and Shining Armor all adapt this mindset regarding their treatment of Twilight and inadvertently letting the Changeling invasion take place. When they hear that some escaped Changelings who might have stolen Jewelius' identity are planning to get revenge against Twilight, they decide to return and help her, seeing it as their chance for redemption. Little do they know that they are actually heading into a trap set by Jewelius. Twilight is hit with this too when she realizes that her loved ones she has turned against were right about Jewelius' evil nature, prompting her to seek them out, mend fences with them, and work together to bring the usurper down.

Narcissist: Jewelius loves to bask in the praise of Canterlot's citizens, uses his own image in his banners, and believes himself to deserve being regarded as the greatest ruler in Equestria's history after all the years he spent being jealous of Celestia and Cadance's prestige. The reason he gets engaged with Twilight is because he wants to build a powerful legacy of his greatness for the future generations. He becomes horribly angry whenever the citizens or Twilight show sympathy towards Celestia and Cadance, refusing to admit there's anything wrong in his thinking.

Hero with Bad Publicity: Celestia, Shining Armor, the Mane Five, Spike and Luna become these (especially in Canterlot) when Jewelius holds them responsible for the Changeling invasion occurring. Fortunately, they don't have this status in Ponyville since the town has gone through rough times because of Jewelius. Subverted with Cadance. While Jewelius holds her responsible for allowing Chrysalis to take her place and banishes her as well, it's revealed a week later that Canterlot's citizens haven't stopped loving her. After Twilight has turned against Jewelius, he tries to make her this as well. It fails immediately, and Canterlot's citizens actually become more sympathetic to the other disgraced heroes now that Twilight has joined their cause.

However, once Jewelius decides to launch an attack on Ponyville, she feels uneasy and disturbed with the plan about committing mass murder. Vivian obeys Jewelius in every vile decision of his, but she does display some pity for the injured royal guards she's ordered to wipe out and looks at him anxiously when he decides to wipe out the entire town of Ponyville.

She confesses to Shining during the climax that she has always hated him and considered him too soft to be a competent Captain of the Royal Guard. Notably, she refuses to admit being wrong when he calls her out of a villainous action she personally isn't comfortable with.

Shamed by a Mob: When Jewelius has Celestia subdued by the Royal Guard, the wedding guests do nothing but shoot resentful glares at her, already believing that the invasion was her fault. Celestia is crushed, wondering if she's feeling the same way Twilight felt when she was shunned by everypony at the rehearsal. In the 12th chapter, Celestia as well as Shining Armor, the Mane Five and Spike are brought to a square for Celestia's execution. They get themselves insulted and reproached by Canterlot's angry citizens and Twilight who all feel betrayed by the heroes and refuse to believe their Cassandra Truth. Celestia even gets an egg thrown in her face by a filly who blames the former princess for her parents being attacked by Changelings and hospitalized.

In the aftermath of the thwarted Changeling invasion, Jewelius succeeds in his coup partly because he shuts down Celestia's attempt at defending herself by angrily pointing out that she and the other heroes could've prevented the invasion before it began if they'd recognized the warning signs rather than being focused on the wedding preparations. This causes the heroes to panic and try to escape, which unfortunately makes them seem exactly as guilty as Jewelius claimed in the eyes of the public.

Fourth-Date Marriage
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_35e077
comment
Fourth-Date Marriage: Deconstructed and subverted. Twilight and Jewelius get engaged only in one week after first meeting each other. Because he showed her niceness while she became alienated from her brother, friends and mentor before his coup, she accepts his offer of filling the void caused from "losing" her loved ones, unaware he's a manipulator who just wants a royal broodmare. As Twilight starts acknowledging Jewelius' behavior doesn't match that of the noble stallion she first met, he causes her to break off their engagement and turn against him by revealing his true colors to her.

comment
When Jewelius decides to wipe out Ponyville's population along with the heroes, not only is Shackle horrified and Vivian looking uncomfortable, but even Hildread, who has never before shown to have had any trouble with carrying out her master's plans, is appalled. You know the villain is going too far when even his most brutal minion thinks so.

comment
I Can Rule Alone: Jewelius starts a relationship with Queen Chrysalis and helps her infiltrate Canterlot as well as replace Cadance so that they can take control of Equestria together. However, after Chrysalis raises suspicions in Twilight and things escalate at the wedding rehearsal, Jewelius betrays the Changelings by helping Twilight stop their invasion, having decided that he has more to gain out of Chrysalis' defeat and manipulating Twilight into becoming his queen. He even mocks Chrysalis for actually thinking he'd rule with a "despicable animal" by his side.

Face Death with Dignity: While waiting to be hanged, Celestia doesn't try to resist or speak about the Cassandra Truth to deaf ears like Jewelius expects her to. Instead, she chooses to apologize to Twilight and everypony else for failing them and the casualties of the invasion, raising the sun for the last time. This moves the crowd and Twilight so much that they no longer want to go through with the execution, but Jewelius remains set on his course. Fortunately Luna saves her sister just in time.

Psychopathic Manchild: Jewelius, at the end of the day. While able to present himself as reasonable, he's basically a dangerous, capricious colt who wants to outshine the rest of the royal family because he resents them for getting from everypony more attention than him. As a king, he exacts disproportionate revenge for simple comments and cares more about remaining in charge than actually taking care of the kingdom. His immaturity shows best when he lets his anger get the better of him.

Properly Paranoid: As per canon, Twilight in regards to Queen Chrysalis in the first chapters. When the banished heroes learn that the Changelings are planning revenge against Twilight, Luna is afraid it may be a trap, so she decides to hide in the shadows when they return to Canterlot. Sure enough, it is a trap, and if Luna hadn't hidden herself, Celestia wouldn't have been saved from the gallows. In the 15th chapter, Luna regrets that she did not adopt this attitude and do some digging instead of dismissing the darkness she sensed in Jewelius' heart upon first meeting him as a mere aftersensation from her time as Nightmare Moon.

Double Meaning: In the 12th chapter, Jewelius says to Twilight that she'll make an even finer bride than Cadance. This could either be referring to the real Cadance (whom Jewelius can't stand) or the false Cadance, AKA Queen Chrysalis (who was tricked by Jewelius into entering an Unholy Matrimony with him before he betrayed her once he decided Twilight to be a more valuable spouse to him).

Skewed Priorities: Once Twilight has stopped the Changelings and Celestia tells her she has a real wedding to put together, Jewelius uses that moment to bring up the disastrous consequences of the invasion as well as the mistakes made by the heroes (other than Twilight) to show everypony else how crazy the heroes are to plan a new wedding right after they inadvertently allowed the Changelings to conquer Equestria. After the entire Changeling army and all the fugitive heroes have escaped, Jewelius stubbornly refuses to do anything to prepare against the Changelings — who, especially their Queen, have a score to settle with him — before he's finished with the heroes. Not only this helps Twilight and Canterlot's citizens realize what he truly is, but he's left completely helpless once the heroes have defeated his army and cornered him, allowing Chrysalis to swoop in and take her revenge.

Woman Scorned: While Jewelius and Chrysalis worked together, she thought they were in an Unholy Matrimony and honestly didn't expect him to double-cross her. After he helps Twilight in imprisoning her, she desires revenge on him, and for that end, she makes Twilight begin doubting him and secretly helps the heroes in gaining an advantage over him. When she comes to claim her revenge, she doesn't appreciate it when he calls her his love in order to get her help and orders her Changelings to eat him.

Manipulative Bastard: Jewelius convinces the city of Canterlot that Celestia, Shining Armor, the Mane Five and Spike have betrayed Equestria by allowing the Changelings to attack. He even takes advantage of Twilight's sadness and uses it to turn her against the Mane Five, Spike, Shining Armor and Celestia. He also tricked Chrysalis, another example of this trope, into thinking she was in a relationship of villainous affection with him, and his betrayal of her came as a genuine surprise to her. It's telling how skilled you are at manipulation when you trick like this a vile villainess who cannot drain love from you, and without any mind-control spells.

Bittersweet Ending: It's made clear that the heroes still feel bad about everything that's happened to them over the past week, and they acknowledge how they'll be unlikely to forget the impact Jewelius' heinous actions (including the mass murder of the Royal Guards who remained loyal to the princesses) had on them and everypony else. The princesses also lament that they couldn't redeem Jewelius, even though they agree with the others that he brought his gruesome death to himself. But nevertheless, the heroes reconcile with each other, clear their names, and enjoy the same All Is Well That Ends Well ending as in canon.

Accusation Fic
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_41d23ee5
comment
On a broader scale, the story as a whole can be summed up as what would happen if Twilight's friends, brother, and mentor trusting Chrysalis over her resulted in this trope. Not only does the Changeling invasion go off without a hitch, and not only does Jewelius' exploitation of the resultant fallout and their own panicked response to his accusations result in their reputations being ruined, but Jewelius' manipulations are easier to pull off because he already has grounds for a justifiable case against them. This leaves everypony so disappointed and angry with them that they can't testify to their side of the story, which makes repairing their social standing that much more of an uphill battle. It also ensures that their attempts to warn Twilight and Canterlot's citizens of Jewelius' true nature are doomed to fail - even Applejack's attempt to invoke the Element of Honesty to aid in this respect falls flat because of her fresh reputation as a traitor and a fair-weather friend, as well as the fact that everypony in Canterlot has stopped giving value to the Elements of Harmony.

Xanatos Speed Chess
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_447d9e50
comment
Xanatos Speed Chess: Jewelius originally helped Chrysalis in carrying out her canon plan so that they would rule Equestria together. However, after Jewelius spent time with Twilight and secretly witnessed when Chrysalis sent her into the underground caverns, he came up with a new plan. He first sent Vivian to subdue the brainwashed bridesmaids so that Twilight and the real Cadance could come to expose Chrysalis. Then he had Twilight subdue all the Changelings by shrinking them with the spell he showed her earlier after the other heroes' efforts to stop the Changelings fail. And finally, he tricked everypony into thinking all the heroes but Twilight are to blame for the disastrous invasion ever happening. In the 13th chapter, after Luna saves Celestia from hanging and frees the Mane Five, Shining Armor and Spike, the escaped Changelings distract Jewelius' soldiers, so the heroes run to the medical wing in order to rescue Cadance. When they reach the door, however, Jewelius and Vivian are waiting for them, and Vivian subdues them all with a petrifying spell, even though Jewelius was caught off guard by all these unexpected turns. He decides to adapt by murdering Cadance and framing the escaped heroes for it. The only reason this fails is because Cadance is free of her restraints and ready to pulverize her traitorous cousin.

The Guards Must Be Crazy: When Rarity and Applejack disguise themselves as maids, the first guard they encounter quickly believes them when they nervously claim to be doing some late night cleaning. In the 12th chapter, the imprisoned Chrysalis tries to fool a patrolling guard with the disguise of Jewelius and then a crying filly. While he's savvy enough not to fall for that, he walks too close to the cell in annoyance, allowing Chrysalis to knock him unconscious by slamming his head against the bars and steal his keys.

"I Can't Look!" Gesture: When Commander Hildread gives the imprisoned Shining Armor a beating in the sixth chapter, the other prisoners watch in horror while Lieutenant Shackle turns her pitying eyes away. When Hildread flogs Shining Armor in the 11th chapter, Twilight mostly averts her eyes from it, finding no enjoyment in watching her older brother suffer, despite having disowned him the previous night. By contrast, Jewelius smiles wider and wider as Shining screams in pain, while Vivian watches with an uncaring expression. During the final battle, all the heroes look away as Jewelius is eaten by the vengeful Changelings.

And Now You Must Marry Me: After Twilight is manipulated into rejecting her former loved ones and accepting Jewelius as her new mentor, she accepts his proposal to become his queen. However, once he reveals his true colors to her and tells her what he actually wants out of their marriage, she rejects him in disgust. In response, he forces her to remain compliant by threating the lives of her parents (whom he captured specifically in case Twilight rebelled against him). Fortunately, a Changeling disguising himself as Raven Inkwell helps Twilight out of this predicament by releasing her parents.

We Have Become Complacent: As part of his propaganda against the disgraced heroes, Jewelius claims that the entire ponykind has become too dependent on the protection of the alicorns and the Elements of Harmony. While this is for him only a tool to retain his power, Vivian seems to really believe this rhetoric, for she says during her Motive Rant to Rainbow Dash that ponies need the same kind of independence she believes they had before Celestia and Luna came to power (though as Rainbow Dash states, Jewelius will never bring ponies independence).

A Friend in Need: When the heroes learn that the Changelings might be seeking revenge on Twilight, they promptly return to Canterlot to ensure Twilight's safety and make amends with her. They do this knowing that they will not be given a warm welcome by Canterlot’s citizens or Twilight now that they've been labeled as traitors. Luna also points out that they could be walking into a trap (a suspicion that turns out to be correct and set up by Jewelius).

Wham Line: During her outlash toward her former loved ones in the tenth chapter, Twilight declares that the other Element Bearers were never her friends, much to their shock. This is one of the first signs of the emotional manipulation Jewelius has subjected her to. Chrysalis begins the big revelations of the 11th chapter with one. Jewelius shocks the heroes further by answering a couple of questions nopony has asked yet: how did Chrysalis know about the wedding and the caverns beneath the castle? An in-universe version occurs in the 12th chapter when Celestia breaks her silence by saying "I'm sorry." Everypony — the other heroes, the jaded Twilight, the angry crowd, and even the smug Jewelius — gasps in surprise, for none of them expected the condemned to be hanged alicorn to commence her final speech with those words. Another in-universe version happens a few chapters later when Twilight calls Jewilius out on being an irresponsible ruler. He then begins his Evil Gloating where he reveals his true colors to her:

Smug Snake: Jewelius lets his ego blind his judgement after his successful coup d'état. He thinks it's perfectly safe to let the fugitive heroes know everything about his evil deeds while they're at his mercy, assuming there's no way they'll be able to convince anypony else that what they heard is true, and they can't at first. Notably, his biggest undoing is focusing all his efforts in destroying the heroes with the assumption that Chrysalis — who has escaped, has a personal vendetta against him, and tried once already to get to him — would not make her move before he's finished with the heroes. Hildread shows signs of this as well.

When Jewelius has Celestia subdued by the Royal Guard, the wedding guests do nothing but shoot resentful glares at her, already believing that the invasion was her fault. Celestia is crushed, wondering if she's feeling the same way Twilight felt when she was shunned by everypony at the rehearsal.

Trap Is the Only Option: When the banished heroes learn about the rumors of escaped Changelings, Luna has a lingering feeling that something doesn't match, even considering that there might be a trap set for them in Canterlot. Celestia acknowledges her sister's concerns but chooses to return to Canterlot anyway to ensure Twilight's life isn't endangered. To make sure not all of them end up being caught if something goes wrong, Luna separates herself from the others and sticks to the shadows. This turns out to be a wise precaution, for the rumors were only a part of Jewelius' trap for the heroes, yet by avoiding being caught, Luna is able to rescue her sister from hanging.

Non-Action Big Bad: Jewelius does a lot of scheming and manipulation, but he does nothing physical himself, relying on his allies to fight for him. The only exceptions to this are telekinetically throwing a guard out of a window and trying to decapitate the subdued Celestia during the climax, only for Cadance to stop him.

The Caligula
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_52aa0c4a
comment
The Caligula: Jewelius initially presents himself as an arrogant yet sane ruler, but as things get out of his control, "Holy King Jewelius I" shows himself to be a deranged sociopath who delusionally regards his reign to be superior to that of the princesses and can't stand it when ponies adore them. Everything about his reign is eventually revealed to be due to his ego, from his engagement to Twilight in hopes of founding a powerful dynasty (with the caveat, by his own admission, that he might get rid of her through a staged accident should he find a more powerful unicorn mare to seduce) to his demoting Prince Blueblood to his personal servant and replacing the banners that depict Celestia and Luna's symbol with those that depict a proud-looking illustration of himself. His grudge towards the Mane 6 *sans* Twilight is due to a single remark by Rarity praising Cadence, angering him to the point where he forces the entire town of Ponyville to strive under raised taxes and trading prohibitions as petty retribution to Twilight's friends, and eventually leads his army to wipe out Ponyville's inhabitants along with all the heroes as the ultimate statement of his rulership, even though unlike him, none of his chief minions are okay with this. When one of his guards questions the extremeness of such an act, Jewelius throws him out of the throne room's window. Finally, he willfully focuses on hunting down the fugitive heroes at the expense of preparing against a new Changeling invasion even though the fugitives have become the public's smallest concern, and decides to decree the act of sympathizing with the fugitives as treason, which ultimately makes Canterlot's citizens really wish the princesses were back in power.

Eviler than Thou: Jewelius tricks Chrysalis into trusting him and double-crosses her after he decides that using Twilight in usurping the throne is more advantageous to him. He afterwards plans to subjugate the Changelings as a Slave Race and have Chrysalis killed like an animal. The tables are turned when he's defeated and surrounded by the heroes; Chrysalis appears and has her Changelings kill the scheming coward and weakling.

It's All My Fault
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_5ad80bf8
comment
It's All My Fault: All the disgraced heroes feel guilty about their mistakes concerning the entire wedding fiasco, but Shining Armor and Celestia have the worst of it. Learning about Jewelius' role in it all helps them tone their guilt down to more reasonable levels. In the 12th chapter, when Celestia is sentenced to be hanged, she feels so guilty about the pain and suffering Jewelius caused for Canterlot's citizens that she delivers them as well as Twilight a heartwrenching apology and accepts her fate, believing that she could have prevented the disaster from happening had she not put her trust in the wrong ponies. Ironically, admitting these feelings of regret is the thing that convinces everypony to forgive Celestia and demand that her life be spared. The heroes' guilt extends to the pain that's been caused to the townsfolk of Ponyville, whom Jewelius is punishing because of the Mane Five's actions. After her Jerkass Realization, Twilight holds herself entirely responsible for unwittingly helping a tyrant take control of Equestria as well as letting Jewelius manipulate her into renouncing her loved ones who were trying to warn her about him. Fortunately, as she expresses these thoughts while reconciling with everypony, they own up to their own errors while assuring her that she's not entirely at fault.

Cake Toppers: The canonical ones of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are given to Spike when he's banished from Equestria because Jewelius wants to torment him with the painful memories of turning his back on Twilight. And sure enough, though Spike keeps the toppers he previously loved to play with, he starts hating them for this very reason. He uses them during the final battle to jam one of the wheels of Jewelius' chariot, preventing the tyrant from escaping when things turn south for him.

Kangaroo Court: Jewelius puts the princesses, Shining Armor, and the rest of Twilight's friends on trial for their role in causing the invasion of Canterlot. However, there is no jury or witnesses (possibly so that nopony will object to Jewelius legalizing slavery in Equestria), and the heroes (who are given no legal representation) are automatically found guilty without receiving a chance to properly defend themselves or call upon witnesses to speak on their behalf. Played even further in the 11th chapter when Jewelius announces to the imprisoned heroes that Celestia will be hanged that same night. When Spike protests by saying that she should be put on trial first, Jewelius replies that a trial was already held earlier that day — with Celestia being in absentia!

Replacement Goldfish: Jewelius intentionally sets himself up as one for Twilight. He acts more emphatically toward her than everypony else, even when she's abandoned at the wedding rehearsal. After he has banished the other heroes away, he convinces her that they never really cared about her and offers her a new purpose in life as his apprentice. By the time one week has passed, she has accepted his proposal to become his queen. However, she gradually stops being angry at her former loved ones and decides to mend fences with them as well as convince Jewelius to reconcile with his usurped royal family. However, once she realizes how evil he actually is, she severs all ties with him and fully reconciles with her friends, brother and mentor.

Forgot About His Powers: Celestia and Luna are almost never shown using their powerful magic to make things easier for the fugitives. The most offensive thing they do is using non-lethal spells to stun or knock unconscious Jewelius' guards in the 13th chapter. While this lack of offence is justified by their unwillingness to hurt their former subjects, would it be too much to make escaping easier with teleportation? Twilight suffers from this as well. Even when her mentor was about to be hanged she never once considered using teleportation to save her.

Hourglass Plot: When Jewelius is defeated and cornered by the heroes, he starts pathetically begging them for his life. A complete reversal from when the Mane Five were tearfully begging and pleading to Jewelius as he sentenced them to slavery. Just as Twilight has her Cassandra Truth at the beginning, her dishonored loved ones try to warn her about Jewelius being evil. Jewelius sentences Shining Armor to work in the Diamond Dogs' mines alongside Rarity. Mirroring how his sister and bride were trapped in an abandoned mine under Canterlot.

Big Brother Instinct: Shining Armor is determined to ensure his sister's safety to atone for the way he renounced her and banned her from his wedding. When Jewelius (who has just revealed his true evil nature) announces that he and Twilight will be married, Shining Armor becomes enraged and tells Jewelius to stay away from Twilight (even though Twilight disowned her brother in the previous chapter).

Chrysalis likewise comes close to bringing the heroes down after their exhaustion from the final battle against Jewilius. She's stopped when, as in canon, Shining Armor and Cadence use The Power of Love to blast her and her army out of Equestria.

The first instance occurs when he blames Cadance for the invasion on the grounds that Chrysalis took her by surprise by impersonating Jewelius and stole her identity. At the very least the accusations he throws at the other heroes have some legitimacy, but it's just plain ignoble to blame Cadance for being tricked with the disguise of her favorite cousin, especially because she suffered by being imprisoned in the caverns. Doubly so because it was Jewelius himself and not Chrysalis who knocked her unconscious.

The Reveal
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: It's revealed in the 11th chapter that Jewelius has been Evil All Along and hates his aunt Celestia and cousin Cadance for "overshadowing" him. He told Queen Chrysalis about the wedding, joined forces with her, and helped her infiltrate Canterlot by telling her about the underground caves only he knew about. However, after he spent time with Twilight and decided her to be a more valuable pawn to him, he broke off his alliance with the Changelings and helped Twilight stop them while making it look like everything was the other heroes' fault. He then used Twilight's heartache from being abandoned by her brother, friends and mentor to manipulate her into forsaking them.

Twilight screams this in the 12th chapter after refusing to listen to her friends and brother's pleas about Jewelius' true nature, all while breaking down into tears and crying. This only earns the heroes more ire from the angry crowd who sympathize with Twilight.

Meaningful Echo: While Twilight is reconciling with her friends and blames herself for letting Jewelius manipulate her to turn against them, Applejack comforts her by saying that it wasn't her fault Jewelius fooled everypony. This refers to the canon answer Twilight gives to Applejack's apology (which Twilight is about to say in this fic before being interrupted by Jewelius).

Meaningful Name: Hildread's name derives from the Germanic Hildred, which means "battle counselor". This Commander most certainly thinks she knows what kind of a military approach Equestria needs. In addition to having a shackle as her cutie mark and weapon of choice, Lieutenant Shackle is in a sense chained from two directions: her oath to serve Jewelius clashes with her conscience. She breaks herself free of the former chain during the final battle, but she still chooses to let herself be jailed as her conscience dictates.

Shining Armor is hit with this too, as the royal guards start to despise him for what has happened (though it turns out that many of the loyalist guards are murdered and replaced by lowlifes). In fact, Twilight, who had always looked up to him when she was a filly, loses all love and respect for him due to his treatment of her and disowns him when he and the other disgraced heroes return to Canterlot, though they eventually reconcile after Twilight's Jerkass Realization as she apologizes for turning her back on him and he in turn owns up to his own callousness towards her.

My Greatest Failure: The regret that Twilight's denigrated loved ones feel over shunning her and allowing the invasion to occur is what motivates them to return to Canterlot so that they can prove their innocence and earn back the trust of Twilight, as well as the rest of Canterlot's citizens.

Shut Up, Kirk!
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_6eeba1cb
comment
Shut Up, Kirk!: In the aftermath of the thwarted Changeling invasion, Jewelius succeeds in his coup partly because he shuts down Celestia's attempt at defending herself by angrily pointing out that she and the other heroes could've prevented the invasion before it began if they'd recognized the warning signs rather than being focused on the wedding preparations. This causes the heroes to panic and try to escape, which unfortunately makes them seem exactly as guilty as Jewelius claimed in the eyes of the public. Played with in that she doesn't turn completely evil, but after Twilight falls victim to Jewelius' manipulations and helps him recapture the heroes, she does nothing to help them when he takes them out to see Celestia's Public Execution, instead telling them off when they try to warn her and the citizens of Canterlot that Jewelius is a backstabbing sociopath. This includes pointing out that they'd failed to remember the lesson they'd learned about taking a friend's concerns seriously as well as disregarding the safety of the citizens due to their excitement for the wedding. The captives still plead with her afterward, but what forces them to give up is when Twilight finally yells a Big "SHUT UP!" at them and promptly starts sobbing. This only angers the crowd who sympathize with her even further. During their final confrontation, Hildread and Shining Armor argue over the righteousness of the former's actions. When Shining calls her out on relying on savagery to enforce security, her response is to shout him down, quell any hesitations she has, and charge at him while yelling, "I WILL CRUSH YOU!"

Let's Split Up, Gang!: The fugitives sneak into the castle and come across an intersection of three hallways in the tenth chapter. They split into three groups and take the three different routes to reach the library because "a big group is too easy to spot". The group of Celestia, Spike and Shining Armor reaches the library and finds Twilight without being noticed, but the rest are discovered by Hildread and reach the library when Cadance pulls a You Shall Not Pass! on Hildread. Unfortunately, she's injured by a surprise attack of Jewelius, and the others are arrested when the angry and hurt Twilight detains them with a magic dome.

Trauma Conga Line
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_71e8a5c5

Trauma Conga Line: After everything bad that happens canonically, the heroes are forced to endure even more pain before they get to enjoy the wedding. The selective revelations Jewelius makes about their mistakes cost Celestia, Shining Armor, the Mane Five and Spike their standing in Equestria's society. After being exiled and sentenced to slavery, they are lured back to Canterlot for a chance to redeem themselves, but they end up being disowned by Twilight for how they treated her and find out a terrible secret; a heartless manipulator has all along been using their beloved friend/sister/student and everypony else to his own advantage. They're unable to convince anypony to believe this discovery until the blunders from the villains' part help to prove them right and give them a chance to reconcile with Twilight, set everything right, and clear their names. For Celestia specifically, she is nearly killed (twice) by a nephew she never would have believed to be capable of cruelties at least as bad as Queen Chrysalis. She's unable to convince him to choose redemption and has to witness him corrupting her former kingdom and faithful student against her, turning the utter adoration they felt for her into hatred. She is nearly publicly hanged, and only by giving her former subjects and Twilight a heartbreaking apology speech she manages to engender forgiveness from all of them before Luna rescues her from the death of being choked. She also finds out, much to the horror of both Shining Armor and herself, that many of the injured royal guards who remained loyal to them were murdered while they were in banishment. By the time she and the others find refuge in Ponyville, she's starting to lose hope of Twilight coming around and helping them against Jewelius until Cadance urges her not to give up on her faithful student yet. Not only does Shining Armor become brainwashed by Queen Chrysalis as per canon, but his wedding is forcibly cancelled, he's stripped of his title as Captain of the Royal Guard, and Hildread beats him up. He returns to Canterlot to make amends with his little sister, only for her to bitterly reject him and allow him to get arrested. The next day, Shining endures a brutal public flogging for "disgracing" the Guard and he learns that many of his friends in the Guard been murdered. On top of that, he is informed that Twilight is engaged to a sociopath who is ready to kill her if he finds her to be an inconvenience. Shining attempts to warn his sister, but his pleas fall on deaf ears because of Jewelius' manipulations and Twilight's lingering trust issues. After everything Chrysalis put her through, Cadance is unfairly exiled from Canterlot by Jewelius, her favorite cousin and surrogate little brother. Upon returning to Canterlot, she's attacked, tortured and planned to be killed by Jewelius who has for years hated her simply because of her popularity and convinced Chrysalis to go through with the Changeling invasion on Cadance's wedding day. Despite having the honor of stopping the Changelings herself, Twilight is emotionally manipulated to lose all love and trust toward her brother, friends and mentor for how they shunned her at the wedding rehearsal, becoming unhappy yet accepting of Equestria's new questionable ruler who has all along faked being her friend and possible love interest. She agrees to marry him, unaware that Jewelius only wants her to birth for him powerful heirs for his legacy and is open to the possibility of killing her "accidentally" and marrying a more powerful unicorn mare should he meet one. Once Twilight realizes the truth, she's utterly mortified with herself and places responsibility on herself alone when she reconciles with her loved ones and sets out to work with them in order to set things right.

Villain Has a Point: Jewelius and his supporters don't let the dishonored heroes forget that if they had been more critical about the false Cadance's actions (whether by giving Twilight the benefit of the doubt or being attentive themselves) instead of having their heads entirely in their wedding plans, they could have unmasked Chrysalis and prevented the Changeling invasion (which had severe consequences to Canterlot's ponies) before it began. Jewelius and Hildread also scold them for behaving this singlemindedly when there was in the air a threat of unknown attackers, and they didn't bother to postpone the wedding and deal with the threat first. Though it turns out that Jewelius helped Chrysalis infiltrate and used her failure to seize the throne for himself, the heroes take to heart the usurper's criticism regarding their shortcomings. When the Mane Five ask from Jewelius how he was able to sway Twilight to his side, he answers matter-of-factly that in comparison to them, he put more effort in acting like he actually considered Twilight's worries instead of quickly putting them down to jealousy/overreaction. It also helped that he tried to settle the confrontation at the rehearsal peacefully by suggesting that Twilight's outburst was only a case of a big misunderstanding, only for Celestia to shush him immediately. Chrysalis is the one who plants the seeds for Twilight's Jerkass Realization as she and her army escape Canterlot, mockingly yet truthfully telling her that Jewelius is willing to get rid of her the same way he did Chrysalis herself once she is no longer of use to him. Naturally, Twilight assumes she's Crying Wolf, but later learns that she was completely right, straight from the prince's mouth.

When Jewelius tells Twilight's imprisoned loved ones that he'll marry her and father through her a powerful line of heirs, he offhandedly mentions that if he happens to discover an even more powerful unicorn mare, he'll likely stage an accident for Twilight. When he reveals his true colors to her, he gloats that excluding her, nearly all his pawns have outlived their usefulness.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Jewelius shows some subtle signs of being misogynistic. He ultimately cares nothing for Twilight, wanting to marry her just to make her bear him powerful offspring to continue his legacynote When Shining Armor protests to this, Jewelius mockingly says that he and Twilight don't need her fugitive older brother's blessing to get married., admits that he might dispose of her if he found a more powerful unicorn mare to seduce, and remorselessly smacks her for suggesting that he has much to learn from his aunts and Cadance. When he claims that the true Elements of Harmony are in everypony instead of the Mane Six, he uses the expression "six random mares" instead of "six random ponies". His three main minions are all mares, but that doesn't necessarily negate the previous points. Despite having worked with the Changelings before betraying them, as well as knowing what they're capable of, Jewelius treats them as if they're just savage, love-sucking beasts who need his brains to be a serious threat. This attitude probably explains why he doesn't think there's a rush to prepare against them after they've escaped from his dungeons.

However, Jewelius broke their partnership off when he saw in Twilight a way to claim all the power for himself, making it a full-blown Evil Versus Evil situation for the rest of the story.

The discredited heroes are accused of putting the wedding before everypony's safety out of selfish ambitions by Jewelius and his supporters. Though this is mostly hurtful slander, the remorseful Mane Five and Spike do admit that their excitement over their wedding roles made them insensitive toward Twilight and her concerns. One of Twilight's Armor Piercing Questions forces them (as well as Shining Armor and Celestia) to concede that they also forgot to consider the feelings of Canterlot's other ponies who were torn between waiting for the wedding and being concerned over the unknown attackers who managed to attack anyway.

Remember the New Guy?: Much like the canonical Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, Prince Jewelius appears out of nowhere despite being Princess Celestia's nephew as well as a cousin of Cadance and Prince Blueblood. Twilight herself has never met him before, only heard about him from Cadance. However, his absence from the canon series is explained by the fact that he spends most of his time traveling across Equestria. He also tells that ponies talk a lot more about the princesses and the Mane Six than him, with nopony seeming to notice he's been gone from Canterlot. This also makes it easier to conceal his true nature as The Sociopath, and being the Hate Sink he is, he's killed off in a karmic fashion near the end of the story.

When Chrysalis and the Changelings escape and are confronted by Twilight, the normally dishonest and evil queen mockingly but sincerely tells her that Jewilius will likely dispose of her once she's no longer useful to him like he did to Chrysalis herself. Since it was made clear that Chrysalis is a selfish, deceitful character who shouldn't be trusted to clarify the truth, her honest warning about Jewelius makes it clear as to which of the two is the bigger threat.

For Want of a Nail: The plot of "A Canterlot Wedding" proceeds like it does canonically, up until the Changeling army has been defeated and Jewelius takes the throne for himself by bringing to public knowledge the mistakes of all the other heroes than Twilight. Also, before the wedding couple can blast the Changelings out of Equestria, they're defeated and imprisoned when Twilight uses on them the shrinking spell Jewelius showed her. The twist of Twilight being the one who stops the Changelings has the side effect of Shining Armor and Cadance being easier for Jewelius to condemn since they cannot appeal to being the ones who saved the day. They get to do it in the climax after Jewelius is killed and only the Changelings remain to deal with. After all is said and done, Princess Luna actually attends the wedding ceremony instead of just showing up for the party.

I Reject Your Reality: Jewelius convinces Twilight that her friends, brother and mentor refused to see any truth in her suspicions because they lived in this mindset. Jewelius himself refuses to believe there's anything to fear from the escaped Changelings, no matter how much Fancy Pants, Twilight, and Canterlot's citizens insist so. This eventually comes back to bite him in the flank during the climax. He also continues maintaining the belief that Celestia will be remembered as a failure by the future generations, even though this has become unlikely due to the forgiveness she earned through the apology speech she gave at her failed execution and because of Jewelius' own shortsighted actions. By comparison, the heroes take full responsibility for the mistakes they made that allowed the invasion to occur and admit some unpleasant truths about their selfish/foolish behaviornote such as not postponing the wedding until the then-unknown threat was secured and disregarding the safety of Canterlot's citizens. This partially restores Twilight's trust in her loved ones and convinces her to give them the benefit of the doubt, thus providing the heroes an opportunity to reconcile with Twilight.

Armor-Piercing Question
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: When Jewelius calls out Shining Armor after the Changeling invasion, he pressures the captain into answerring whether or not he disowned his sister entirely because of Chrysalis' manipulations. As the discredited heroes try to expose their Cassandra Truth about Jewelius having worked with and double-crossed the Changelings and is now intending to kill Cadance in the 12th chapter, Twilight and the angry crowd refute them with several disproving questions. The 12th chapter has also a subverted example when Fluttershy asks from the crowd who will raise the sun if Celestia is executed. The crowd becomes thoughtful, but Jewelius quickly dispels their uncertainties with a New Era Speech about why they'll be better off without the alicorns to rely on. In the following chapter, Twilight herself gets one from Queen Chrysalis who plants in her mind a seed of doubt about Jewelius and whether or not Cadance is safe. The Changelings use their chance to flee as Twilight tries to decide if she should shrink the Changelings again or go to make sure Cadance is alright. When Fancy Pants confronts Jewelius about the renewed Changeling threat which the latter has done nothing to address, Jewelius responds to Fancy's accusation that he only cares about punishing the fugitives above all else with the assertion that they (the fugitives) opposed his rule. Fancy snaps back with "So this is about you?!" We don't know how Jeweilus would've responded to this, though, because Twilight walks in on them mere moments later. The climax has another subversion when Shining Armor asks from Hildread if she calls massacring Ponyville's inhabitants protection of Equestria. She looks uneasily around but quickly hardens her heart and takes comfort from her delusions.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The moment Twilight has shrunk the Changelings and Celestia says that she has a real wedding to put together, Jewelius starts calling out everypony else but Twilight while the wedding guests and the Royal Guard witness this. Celestia takes no action to restrain Jewelius, lets everypony see how her nephew's accusations make her, and the only explanation she offers — Twilight's franticness and lack of evidence against Chrysalis — is overruled by Jewelius who brings up Celestia's own decision not to postpone the wedding and fully focus on the lingering threat of unknown attackers. When he has made his New Era Speech to Canterlot's citizens, Celestia tells everypony to run. This backfires because the heroes are unsuccessful in escaping and their failed attempt has now given Jewelius credibility for his accusations against them. As the result, the Royal Guard imprisons them on his orders, and they become despised by just about everyone in Canterlot as nopony lifts a hoof to help them. On a broader scale, the story as a whole can be summed up as what would happen if Twilight's friends, brother, and mentor trusting Chrysalis over her resulted in this trope. Not only does the Changeling invasion go off without a hitch, and not only does Jewelius' exploitation of the resultant fallout and their own panicked response to his accusations result in their reputations being ruined, but Jewelius' manipulations are easier to pull off because he already has grounds for a justifiable case against them. This leaves everypony so disappointed and angry with them that they can't testify to their side of the story, which makes repairing their social standing that much more of an uphill battle. It also ensures that their attempts to warn Twilight and Canterlot's citizens of Jewelius' true nature are doomed to fail - even Applejack's attempt to invoke the Element of Honesty to aid in this respect falls flat because of her fresh reputation as a traitor and a fair-weather friend, as well as the fact that everypony in Canterlot has stopped giving value to the Elements of Harmony.

Establishing Character Moment: As soon as Hildread first appears, she makes her arrogance and hatred toward Shining Armor crystal clear before she starts beating up the former captain with sadistic pleasure. Lieutenant Shackle in turn acts like a professional guard before the appearance of her commanding officer whose orders she nervously follows, and she turns her pitying gaze away from Shining Armor's torture.

The selective revelations Jewelius makes about their mistakes cost Celestia, Shining Armor, the Mane Five and Spike their standing in Equestria's society. After being exiled and sentenced to slavery, they are lured back to Canterlot for a chance to redeem themselves, but they end up being disowned by Twilight for how they treated her and find out a terrible secret; a heartless manipulator has all along been using their beloved friend/sister/student and everypony else to his own advantage. They're unable to convince anypony to believe this discovery until the blunders from the villains' part help to prove them right and give them a chance to reconcile with Twilight, set everything right, and clear their names. For Celestia specifically, she is nearly killed (twice) by a nephew she never would have believed to be capable of cruelties at least as bad as Queen Chrysalis. She's unable to convince him to choose redemption and has to witness him corrupting her former kingdom and faithful student against her, turning the utter adoration they felt for her into hatred. She is nearly publicly hanged, and only by giving her former subjects and Twilight a heartbreaking apology speech she manages to engender forgiveness from all of them before Luna rescues her from the death of being choked. She also finds out, much to the horror of both Shining Armor and herself, that many of the injured royal guards who remained loyal to them were murdered while they were in banishment. By the time she and the others find refuge in Ponyville, she's starting to lose hope of Twilight coming around and helping them against Jewelius until Cadance urges her not to give up on her faithful student yet. Not only does Shining Armor become brainwashed by Queen Chrysalis as per canon, but his wedding is forcibly cancelled, he's stripped of his title as Captain of the Royal Guard, and Hildread beats him up. He returns to Canterlot to make amends with his little sister, only for her to bitterly reject him and allow him to get arrested. The next day, Shining endures a brutal public flogging for "disgracing" the Guard and he learns that many of his friends in the Guard been murdered. On top of that, he is informed that Twilight is engaged to a sociopath who is ready to kill her if he finds her to be an inconvenience. Shining attempts to warn his sister, but his pleas fall on deaf ears because of Jewelius' manipulations and Twilight's lingering trust issues.

Broken Pedestal

Broken Pedestal: Princess Celestia becomes one to Twilight and the citizens of Canterlot due to Jewelius' manipulations. This starts to become remedied at her Public Execution when she gives them all a touching apology speech in which she takes full responsibility over her failures. Shining Armor is hit with this too, as the royal guards start to despise him for what has happened (though it turns out that many of the loyalist guards are murdered and replaced by lowlifes). In fact, Twilight, who had always looked up to him when she was a filly, loses all love and respect for him due to his treatment of her and disowns him when he and the other disgraced heroes return to Canterlot, though they eventually reconcile after Twilight's Jerkass Realization as she apologizes for turning her back on him and he in turn owns up to his own callousness towards her. The Mane Six (except Twilight) become these as well after Jewelius manipulates all of Canterlot into thinking that they are selfish traitors, getting them exiled from Equestria in the process. Fortunately, as with Celestia and Shining, their pedestal is restored by the end, though it takes a lot of soul-searching and a heaping helping of Jewelius' own incompetence to get them there. Jewelius himself gains the respect of Canterlot's citizens once he steals the throne by calling the heroes out on their failure to properly respond to the Changeling threat. Thanks to his irresponsible rule and eventual exposure of his petty, sociopathic nature, however, it doesn't last long.

Villain with Good Publicity: When Jewelius takes over Equestria's throne, the entire city of Canterlot is duped into revering him as "Holy King Jewelius I". Fortunately, this charade starts slowly to crumble thanks to his excessive obsession in hunting down the disgraced heroes at the expense of taking care of the renewed Changeling threat and poor receipt to facing disagreements. Ultimately zig-zagged; he's not popular in Ponyville at all because he has oppressed the town under the excuse of the Mane Five's home needing to be made an example of.

Took a Level in Jerkass: Played with. After Jewelius successfully manipulates Twilight about her former friends, Shining Armor and Celestia's true intentions, she loses all trust and respect for them, and when she mistakenly believes they caused Cadance to become injured, she nastily disowns them all and allows them to be apprehended as payback for the way they mistreated her. However, it's afterwards made clear that she hasn't really stopped caring about them or other ponies, and her current behavior stems from unwillingness to be hurt again and a misled belief that she owes Jewelius for the kindness he showed her. Fortunately, she comes fully around once she realizes just how evil Jewelius truly is.

Asshole Victim: The first time Queen Chrysalis is seen after her failed invasion, she has been brutally tortured by Jewelius' underlings. The imprisoned heroes aren't sorry for her in the slightest because of her actions ruining their lives and causing misery to many others (though she reveals that Jewelius is to blame as well). During the climax, Chrysalis takes her revenge on Jewelius by having her Changelings eat the treacherous tyrant alive. On a smaller scale, Jewelius is revealed to have made Prince Blueblood his servant. The self-absorbed prince is implied to regularly suffer the king's anger for failing to serve as wanted.

Subverted majorly with Jewelius. He's the only pony who actually bothers to talk seriously with Twilight about her misgivings and acknowledge that some things don't feel to be right with his "cousin". He tries to nicely convince the Mane Five to consider if their sudden promotion to bridesmaids is strange and cautions Twilight not to do anything drastic… all for naught. He suggests at the rehearsal that Twilight's actions were born out of a serious misconception and not real spite, but nopony listens to him. Even when he drops all pretences of politeness and steals the throne after the Changelings are defeated, he's still right to point out to the rejoicing heroes that due to the casualties and damages born out of the invasion, the time is not appropriate to start planning a new wedding. After that, his behavior can't be called sane. It ultimately turns out that Jewelius was in Chrysalis' plans all along and only played things in his own favor.

Laser-Guided Karma: The Mane Five, Shining Armor, Celestia and Spike trying to tell Twilight a truth she doesn't believe is meant to be this for not believing what she tried to tell them about Queen Chrysalis, as the author explains at the end of the 12th chapter. Not only does Celestia walk out on Twilight along with everypony else, but when Jewelius tries to say Twilight only acted out of a big misunderstanding, it's Celestia who shushes him. She's later detained by her own Royal Guard when Jewelius tricks everypony into blaming her for the collateral damages of the invasion, and the resentful wedding guests do nothing to help her. Celestia lampshades the irony by wondering if she's having the same feelings of betrayal as Twilight had. In the final battle, a now cornered and defeated Jewelius finds himself pleading to be spared by the same heroes he had begging for mercy as he sentenced them to slavery. He's then killed by the Changelings whom he set to invade Equestria, double-crossed, and stubbornly refused to consider as a threat after they escaped from his dungeons.

Fortunately, Twilight arrives just then, fully willing to reconcile with everypony, possessing the Elements of Harmony, and having the idea to use their example of reconciliation to remind all of Equestria what friendship is about.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_928ca2cc
comment
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Jewelius convinces Chrysalis to take over Equestria with him, but when he sees better opportunities in making Twilight and himself the heroes who stopped the invaders, he betrays the Changelings by helping Twilight defeat and imprison them. He announces a week later that the Changelings will be made into slaves, but Chrysalis will be "put down" for being far too dangerous. When Jewelius tells Twilight's imprisoned loved ones that he'll marry her and father through her a powerful line of heirs, he offhandedly mentions that if he happens to discover an even more powerful unicorn mare, he'll likely stage an accident for Twilight. When he reveals his true colors to her, he gloats that excluding her, nearly all his pawns have outlived their usefulness.

It's Quiet… Too Quiet: When the fugitive heroes go to seek sanctuary from Ponyville, they find the town to be unusually quiet. Turns out this is because the townsfolk are afraid of encountering in the streets Jewelius' guards who might rough them up.

Villainous Breakdown
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_957e5fc2
comment
Villainous Breakdown: Once the heroes and the escaped Changeling army escape Canterlot, Jewelius stops putting effort into his schemes and deception and lets his true nature shine as he begins responding angrily to any attempts to get him to rule responsibly. He eventually decides to wipe out all of Ponyville out of anger over the fugitives being given refuge there, tossing a guard out the window just for questioning this. Finally, when cornered by the heroes and then by an angry Chrysalis, he loses his nerve and begins pathetically begging and pleading for his life, to no avail as the Changelings swoop in and devour him alive as payback for double-crossing them.

Big Damn Reunion: The dishonored heroes attempt to have this when they reunite with Twilight in Canterlot during the tenth chapter. Unfortunately, things go awry when Cadance is injured by Jewelius and Twilight, assuming the others got her hurt and still angry over the wedding rehearsal, renounces them. They get a do-over of sorts in the 17th chapter when Twilight, after discovering that Jewelius is evil, arrives in Ponyville. Upon seeing her, everypony eagerly welcomes her back with open arms, and they reconcile with each other.

Never My Fault: After losing the trust of Twilight and Canterlot's citizens, Jewelius blames it on the heroes. Never mind that he stops working on his lies and lets his true selfish nature shine. Notably, despite letting go of her hatred toward the fugitives, Twilight is willing to support Jewelius as long as he starts acting like a responsible ruler. That ends when he proves true the fugitives' Cassandra Truth about him by heartlessly gloating to Twilight.

Throw the Dog a Bone: The disgraced heroes, who have been met with contempt and hatred until escaping from Canterlot, eventually receive refuge from Mayor Mare and the rest of Ponyville. It's revealed shortly after that this was done in response to a collective dog-kicking by Jewelius, who spitefully wanted to punish the town for being the home of the "traitorous" Mane Five.

Evil Counterpart
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_9b54d536
comment
Evil Counterpart: Jewelius to Twilight. Both young unicorns are inquisitive, charismatic, closely connected to Equestria's ruling royalty, and they have a purple color motif as well as a reliable assistant. Unlike Twilight, though, Jewelius gathers knowledge through his travels and makes acquaintances solely for his own benefit, and he has none of Twilight's caring or noble traits. They used to play as foals with Princess Cadance who treated them both like they were her younger siblings. Twilight is mistaken to be a Green-Eyed Monster in regards to Cadance, but it's actually Jewelius who holds extreme hatred toward Cadance (as well as Celestia) just because of her popularity. Twilight adores Cadance (the real deal, that is) to the point that Jewelius is unable to destroy the high esteem Twilight holds in regards to her even though he manages to corrupt her into disowning her brother, mentor and friends for their treatment of her at the wedding rehearsal. While Twilight mostly mistrusts her former loved ones who're trying to get through to her and mistreats them reactively, Jewelius goes on to actively ruining their lives, especially those of his cousin Cadance and aunt Celestia. In the end, Twilight has a Jerkass Realization, lets go of her bitterness, and reconciles with her loved ones, but Jewelius refuses to abandon his delusions or reconcile with his betrayed family members.

Evil Costume Switch: Downplayed in a sense that the switch only marks the already villainous characters becoming more extreme. When Jewelius decides to slaughter all of Ponyville's inhabitants along with the heroes, he and his minions replace their normal attires with battle armors. Only Shackle retains her normal uniform, and even though Jewelius is the only one who has absolutely zero qualms about the attack, Shackle is the only one who decides to stop continuing the attack and redeem herself.

Foreshadowing
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: There are hints of Jewelius' true nature before his true colors are revealed. For example: In the second chapter, Jewelius has a happy façade when Pinkie announces that she and her friends are the new bridesmaids. However, once Rainbow Dash and Rarity brag about Shining Armor's shield and the wedding, none of the Mane Six notice an angry glare form on Jewelius' face, hinting his hidden jealousy of Cadance. He also tells Vivian that they may have to make some changes to their plans for usurping Celestia. In the third chapter, after everypony abandons Twilight, Jewelius spies on Chrysalis imprisoning her. Once Chrysalis has left, Jewelius starts forming a plan with a very serious expression on his face. Just before the invasion, Chrysalis is surprised that Vivian helped Twilight and Cadance out of the caves by Jewelius' orders, asking him why before brushing it off. He gives Chrysalis a Psychotic Smirk right before she and the other Changelings are shrunk, and she afterwards tries to say something while pointing at Jewelius. One of the first hints Jewelius plans to father a legacy through Twilight? He names himself "Holy King Jewelius I" after he speaks to the unconscious Twilight about restoring greatness to Equestria with her. While lying to Twilight about her loved ones' true motivations, Jewelius claims that what sealed their fates is that they chose to ignore the reality and see the world the way they wanted it to be. Jewelius himself ignores the need to prepare against the escaped Changelings as he obsessively tries to find and destroy the heroes. When his minions are defeated and he's cornered by the heroes, the Changelings take their chance to appear and kill him.

My God, What Have I Done?
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_a1b141f4
comment
My God, What Have I Done?: Shining Armor greatly mopes about his fight with Twilight, and it's made worse when Cadance reveals to him how Twilight secretly helped him get together with Cadance years ago.note In this version of "A Canterlot Wedding", Chrysalis took full control of him only after he came to console her after the confrontation at the rehearsal. Celestia and Twilight's friends also regret trusting Chrysalis over Twilight, and in the process, causing misery to Canterlot's citizens by failing to prevent the invasion. Twilight gets hit with this hard when she finally realizes how evil Jewelius truly is, and that her former friends, mentor and brother were right about him and the fact that she helped another villain gain control of all of Equestria. After Jewelius tries to frame Twilight for deserting him and, when that fails, declares sympathizing with the fugitives to be treason, Canterlot's citizens realize that putting their trust in Jewelius had dire consequences, and start wishing that the princesses were back in power. As such, when the heroes apologize to the public for their mistakes that led to the Changeling invasion occurring, the citizens likewise apologize for turning their collective back on them thanks to Jewelius' propaganda. Lieutenant Shackle shows remorse for her service under Jewelius when she switches sides during the Final Battle.

There's also banishment, slavery, a public flogging, a narrowly prevented hanging, a mass murder of injured military figures who remain loyal to the usurped royalty, an attempted destruction of a small town, a sociopathic maniac who attempts to murder his aunt and cousin out of jealousy and hatred, an entire town unfairly persecuted due to the actions of some of its inhabitants, and a gruesome death of being Eaten Alive.

Meaningless Villain Victory: A variant - Jewelius actually ends up completely victorious early on thanks to manipulating the public into blaming the heroes for the Changeling invasion. He only gets to enjoy his success for one whole week before he gives into his urge to lure the heroes back to Canterlot so he can murder Celestia and Cadence, and in so doing sets off a chain of events that eventually leads to the loss of his authority and eventually his life, paving the way for the princesses' restoration to power and the Changelings' defeat as per the canon special.

Sickbed Slaying: When Cadance is injured and imprisoned in the medical wing, Jewelius plans to have her killed while making it look like everything was done to save her. After the other fugitives escape and try to rescue her, they're caught by Jewelius and Vivian who then attempt to murder Cadance and frame the escaped heroes for it. Fortunately, Cadance has just managed to free herself. It is revealed in the 11th chapter that after the heroes were banished, Jewelius had a (long) list made of the injured royal guards who continued swearing loyalty to the princesses. They were then killed and marked as casualties of the Changeling invasion, allowing Jewelius to fill the greatly decreased ranks with criminals whose loyalty he bought for himself.

Classic Villain: Jewelius represents Ambition, Envy, Pride and Wrath. Full of hatred for his vastly adored aunt and cousin as well as desiring to be Equestria's worshipped ruler, he initiates the plot by setting Queen Chrysalis on her canon plan, seizes the throne through clever deviousness, and manipulates Twilight and Canterlot's population to reject the princesses as well as Twilight's brother and friends as failed heroes. He ultimately brings himself down through his own arrogance before suffering a Karmic Death.

Fatal Flaw: Jewelius's ego and shortsightedness end up screwing him several times over. Even though his coup is successful and he manages to destroy the reputations of the Mane Five, Spike, the princesses, and Shining Armor, he tricks all of them into returning to Canterlot so he can reveal his evil actions to them and personally guarantee Celestia and Cadance die. When he and his minions capture most of the exiles, he's so giddy over it he completely forgets about Luna note who was worried it was a trap and hid in the shadows to avoid it, allowing her to save Celestia before she can be hanged and free the exiles from their restraints. Then, when the Changelings and the fugitive heroes escape Canterlot at the same time, Jewelius puts off the new Changeling threat in order to focus on hunting down the heroes despite knowing that Chrysalis is out for his blood and everyone being more concerned about the Changelings. Not only does this help Twilight see how evil Jewelius really is and has Canterlot's citizens begin to want Celestia and Luna back in power, him foolishly ignoring the Changelings results in his gruesome death.

No-Sell: Cadance tries to make Jewelius reasonable by using her love spell, but it has no effect on him. The Changelings aren't able to drain love from him either because he holds no love towards anypony, so when they corner him in the end, they decide that everything else will do.

Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: A minor example occurs when Fluttershy wonders why Jewelius would want to make the lives of Ponyville's inhabitants miserable for something she and the other heroes did. Rainbow Dash gives her the obvious answer: spiteful sadism. Celestia has a hard time (at least initially) wrapping her head around the fact that her mild-mannered nephew is really a manipulator capable of being extremely cruel to his family members and others.

Near-Villain Victory: Jewelius gets what he wants right in the fic's first quarter; he has become Equestria's respected king, Twilight Sparkle agrees to become his student and later his queen, and the princesses are driven away from Equestria along with Twilight's brother and friends, with their reputations tarnished and their self-respect torn to shreds. After enjoying this success for one week, Jewelius' need to stimulate his malicious desires leads him to lure the banished heroes back to Canterlot, and the latter half of the story deals with his downfall that's more his own fault than of the heroes (see the Villain Ball section below for more details). Chrysalis likewise comes close to bringing the heroes down after their exhaustion from the final battle against Jewilius. She's stopped when, as in canon, Shining Armor and Cadence use The Power of Love to blast her and her army out of Equestria.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: As Celestia awaits her Public Execution, Jewelius takes the heroes out to be Forced to Watch and to be reproached by Canterlot's citizens, knowing that any attempt on their part to warn the citizens about his secret evil nature will only earn them more ire due to his good PR. Indeed, that's exactly what happens, but it also causes Celestia to realize that trying it won't get her anywhere and that everypony has lost all faith in her. So instead, she uses her farewell speech to earnestly apologize for failing to heed all the warning signs of the Changeling attack and letting everypony down, especially the now-jaded Twilight, earning the forgiveness of the public against Jewelius' wishes. It's the beginning of the end for Jewelius' reign, for even Twilight joins the growing call for the execution to be stopped. In general, whenever Jewelius believes he's won, he indulges in Evil Gloating and throws entirely to the wind the façades and manipulations that got him onto the throne in the first place. To say he really should've known better is a massive understatement - doing this first with the disgraced heroes and later Twilight helps them realize who their true enemy is, and gives them every reason to bring him down (if they didn't have it already). Also, when he snaps at Canterlot's citizens for wanting to welcome all the dishonored heroes back to the society, they start really wishing that the princesses were still ruling them. Chrysalis planting a seed of doubt into Twilight's mind in the 13th chapter is one of the first steps in making Twilight realize how unwell things are in Jewelius' hooves.

Oh, Crap!: The heroes have a collective one in the fifth chapter when Jewelius' New Era Speech makes them realize that he's denigrating them in everypony's eyes. When Fluttershy switches from scared into furious in the arena and knocks out Clump, Baff becomes scared and tries to flee. As Garble sees his two friends being beaten by Fluttershy, he has a Jaw Drop, and right before Rainbow Dash floors him, he gulps.

Stupid Evil: Jewelius actually achieves his goal of gaining the Canterlot throne and the adulation of those in its position early on when he steals said throne from the princesses by banishing them, Shining Armor, and the Mane 6 except Twilight while making them into despised pariahs, but it isn't long afterward before his common sense is overridden by his petty, selfish arrogance. Not content with being Equestria's respected king or with having a manipulated Twilight as his bride, he devotes his time to continuing to punish the exiles even after the Changeling army escapes from Canterlot, neither knowing that Chrysalis is onto him for double-crossing her or caring that his personal vendetta has become the public's smallest concern. Then, once Twilight and the citizens call him out on his irrational behavior, he lets his anger get the better of him, threatens them all just because they didn't kiss up to him like he wanted, and in general reveals his true nature as The Sociopath with no foresight toward the potential consequences. Needless to say, after his failed attempt on all of Ponyville (which ends with his gruesome death courtesy of a vengeful Chrysalis), he is hated by everypony.

The Only Way They Will Learn: In the 11th chapter, Shining Armor is publicly flogged by Commander Hildread. Twilight tries to come to her brother's defense by questioning whether his punishment is too harsh and arguing that he didn't mean for things to go as terribly wrong as they did. However, she relents after Jewelius insists that Shining's intentions do not shield him from the consequences of his choices and that he must be taught a lesson.

Jewelius lets his ego blind his judgement after his successful coup d'état. He thinks it's perfectly safe to let the fugitive heroes know everything about his evil deeds while they're at his mercy, assuming there's no way they'll be able to convince anypony else that what they heard is true, and they can't at first. Notably, his biggest undoing is focusing all his efforts in destroying the heroes with the assumption that Chrysalis — who has escaped, has a personal vendetta against him, and tried once already to get to him — would not make her move before he's finished with the heroes.

My Greatest Second Chance: In the 17th chapter, the fugitive heroes view their reunion with Twilight in Ponyville as a second chance to learn from their past failures at the wedding rehearsal and make amends with her. They demonstrate their newfound trust during the final battle when they go along with Twilight's plan to have Cadence and Shining Armor repel the Changelings. This ultimately pays off and results in the heroes getting to enjoy their hard earned happy ending at the wedding as per canon.

Everyone Has Standards: Though Twilight turns hostile toward her brother, friends and mentor due to Jewelius' manipulations, she is unable to find it in her to hate them. She takes no pleasure in their misfortunes, like the public whipping Shining Armor endures and Celestia's hanging. Also, though she doesn't voice her objections until later on, she doesn't really agree with the way Jewelius seems to become obsessed with ruining the fugitives' lives to the point of making the entire town of Ponyville suffer for their mistakes and doing nothing for the escaped Changelings.

Was It All a Lie?: Jewelius succeeds in getting Twilight to trust him by acting understandingly toward her while she gets the cold shoulder from her brother, mentor and friends, and then isolating her from them and telling her that they never cared about her so he can manipulate her as he sees fit for one week. However, while Twilight vents out her feelings of anger and hurt toward her former loved ones, she's faced with incidents that contradict Jewelius' claims - namely, her friends and brother keep trying to appeal to her better nature even though she renounces them explicitly, Celestia gives her and everypony else a touching apology when the alicorn faces the gallows, and Jewelius himself displays arrogance while belittling the citizens' fears regarding the escaped Changeling army. His otherwise questionable ruling style and the claims Queen Chrysalis makes about him also add confusion to the mix. Thus, after venting her feelings, Twilight starts doubting and thinking, and finally decides to take a Sudden Principled Stand wherein she truthfully tells the citizens of Canterlot that Jewelius has done nothing about the Changeling threat. In the ensuing argument with Jewelius, she realizes that he was the one manipulating her for his own ends the entire time, whereupon she severs all ties with him and turns against him.

Too Dumb to Live: Jewelius completely dismisses the threat of the escaped Queen Chrysalis and her Changeling army, despite several facts; they managed to nearly conquer Canterlot, everypony is more concerned about them than they're concerned about the heroes, and Chrysalis, a villainess more powerful than Jewelius, has an ax to grind with him and tries to kill him immediately after her escape. This foolishness ends up costing Jewelius not only the loyalty of Twilight and Canterlot's citizens, but his life as well. And even earlier, by gloating to the imprisoned heroes — who've all been tricked into thinking they're total failures and who desire to get back in Twilight's good graces — about his secret crimes and evil intentions in regards to Twilight, he motivates them to bring him down and save Twilight from his manipulations.

Despite having the honor of stopping the Changelings herself, Twilight is emotionally manipulated to lose all love and trust toward her brother, friends and mentor for how they shunned her at the wedding rehearsal, becoming unhappy yet accepting of Equestria's new questionable ruler who has all along faked being her friend and possible love interest. She agrees to marry him, unaware that Jewelius only wants her to birth for him powerful heirs for his legacy and is open to the possibility of killing her "accidentally" and marrying a more powerful unicorn mare should he meet one. Once Twilight realizes the truth, she's utterly mortified with herself and places responsibility on herself alone when she reconciles with her loved ones and sets out to work with them in order to set things right.

She's only mocked and told that they're actually criminals who have replaced the murdered Royal Guards who remained loyal to her and whose loyalty Jewelius has bought for himself. Jewelius keeps ranting this order when the heroes are freed of their restraints in the 13th chapter.

My Country, Right or Wrong: Jewelius gets to see that while he can sway ponies into supporting him, he can't make them utterly discard long-upheld beliefs or bonds on a whim, particularly with regards to the state of the nation he's supposed to be ruling which is ultimately shown to be everypony else's main concern. While Jewelius does get Twilight to trust him and turn on her brother, mentor and friends by acting understandingly toward her and then preventing her from reconciling with the others, Twilight is nevertheless concerned above all else for the well-being of Equestria and especially Ponyville, which Jewelius has punished due to wanting to make an example of the Mane 5's hometown. Eventually, she defies Jewelius' order of lying to ponies who trust her and decides - right before Jewelius drops all pretenses - that she wants to reconcile with her loved ones and that Jewelius has much to learn about responsible ruling. In the wake of Jewelius' ensuing Villainous Breakdown, Canterlot's citizens too become disillusioned with his smoke and mirrors and want back the wise ruler who has reigned for as long as they can remember, becoming more open to giving the fugitives the benefit of the doubt so they can help deal with the escaped Changeling army which Jewelius has done nothing about.

Forgiveness
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_b75b35ac

Forgiveness: A recurring theme in the story. Twilight's exiled and disgraced loved ones (especially Shining Armor and Celestia) are wracked with guilt over how they abandoned Twilight and inadvertently allowed the Changeling invasion to occur. They return to Canterlot a week later to clear their names and earn Twilight's forgiveness. When Shining Armor tearfully apologizes to Princess Cadence for his mistakes, she says that she can forgive him, but she still wants him to reconcile with his sister before they try and get married again. In the 12th chapter, a sentenced to be hanged Celestia delivers a heartfelt apology speech to Twilight and Canterlot's population wherein she takes full ownership of her failures. This successfully triggers forgiveness in her former subjects and student who then demand that she be spared. After the fugitives along with the Changelings escape, Twilight wants to pardon her dishonored loved ones so that she can forgive them on how they wronged her as well as apologize for her outburst, believing that they've been punished enough and have learned their lesson. When Jewelius tries to label Twilight as a criminal after she escapes to Ponyville, the crowd expresses their support for her and share her desire to pardon the fugitives. When Twilight discovers that her friends' Cassandra Truth about Jewelius was right, she flees to Ponyville to reconcile with them. Much to her surprise, they welcome her back with open arms and forgive her instantly despite the way she betrayed them for Jewelius. In the epilogue, the heroes are quick to forgive the public for how they spurned them for Jewelius. In turn, everypony forgives the heroes for their mistakes.

Sadistic Choice: Chrysalis gives Twilight one in the 13th chapter; will she shrink the Changelings again or go to make sure Jewelius isn't doing anything evil to Cadance? Twilight is so conflicted that the Changelings use their chance to escape, so she starts running toward the medical wing.

It's All About Me
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_bb18a227
comment
It's All About Me: Jewelius cares ultimately only about his own wants and his "glorious rule". This is noted by Fancy Pants when Jewelius wants to focus on the disgraced heroes instead of the escaped Changelings. The discredited heroes are accused of putting the wedding before everypony's safety out of selfish ambitions by Jewelius and his supporters. Though this is mostly hurtful slander, the remorseful Mane Five and Spike do admit that their excitement over their wedding roles made them insensitive toward Twilight and her concerns. One of Twilight's Armor Piercing Questions forces them (as well as Shining Armor and Celestia) to concede that they also forgot to consider the feelings of Canterlot's other ponies who were torn between waiting for the wedding and being concerned over the unknown attackers who managed to attack anyway.

Tyrant Takes the Helm: After making himself Equestria's king, Jewelius legalizes slavery, wipes out all the Royal Guards who remain loyal to the dismantled princesses, fills the ranks with bribed convicts, raises Ponyville's taxes, bans any trading with the town, and tries to make the public falsely believe that he has the situation with the escaped Changelings under his control.

While facing Hildread in the climax, Shining Armor tells her that he kicked her out of the Royal Guard because she has always been exceedingly brutal and delusional with her extreme beliefs, with her act of preparing to massacre innocent ponies on the orders of a tyrannical usurper being the ultimate proof of this.

Berserk Button: Cadance gets injured after sneaking into the castle with the group of exiles. When Celestia tries to appease a distraught Twilight by saying that none of them knew it would happen, this causes Twilight — who has been manipulated by Jewelius — to lash out at her former loved ones. Jewelius really hates it when Cadance and/or Celestia are openly praised/loved in his presence. He's initially able to rein in his anger before he can act on it, but as the story progresses, he stops restraining himself to the point that he smacks Twilight's cheek and later threatens Canterlot's citizens by decreeing that anypony who sympathizes with the fugitives will be accused of treason and severely punished.

Villain Reveals the Secret: Exploited by Jewelius in the fifth chapter. Immediately after Twilight has shrunk the Changelings, Vivian brings the wedding guests and some guards in the wedding hall. Jewelius then starts calling out the princesses, Shining Armor and Twilight's friends, revealing to everypony how they ignored Twilight's misgivings regarding Chrysalis and abandoned her at the wedding rehearsal. When his New Era Speech causes the panicked heroes to make an unsuccessful escape attempt, everypony buys Jewelius' words and turns against the heroes.

Any Last Words?: Jewelius poses this question to Celestia during her hanging, expecting her to try and tell everypony about his evil actions to deaf ears like the other prisoners just did to no avail. Knowing it will get her nowhere because everypony has lost all faith in her, Celestia instead makes a heartwrenching apology speech to Twilight and the angry crowd, taking full responsibility over everypony who lost their lives and is suffering now because of the invasion that she inadvertently allowed to happen. Twilight and the entire crowd are so touched that they start demanding Jewelius to spare the deposed princess as she prepares to Face Death with Dignity.

In the 13th chapter, after Luna saves Celestia from hanging and frees the Mane Five, Shining Armor and Spike, the escaped Changelings distract Jewelius' soldiers, so the heroes run to the medical wing in order to rescue Cadance. When they reach the door, however, Jewelius and Vivian are waiting for them, and Vivian subdues them all with a petrifying spell, even though Jewelius was caught off guard by all these unexpected turns. He decides to adapt by murdering Cadance and framing the escaped heroes for it. The only reason this fails is because Cadance is free of her restraints and ready to pulverize her traitorous cousin.

Both Sides Have a Point
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: The acknowledgement of this trope forms the crux of the reconciliation between Twilight and her exiled loved ones after her Jerkass Realization. When Jewelius pins the blame on all the heroes except Twilight, Celestia truthfully brings up how the treatment of Twilight by herself, the Mane 6, and Shining during the rehearsal was due to Twilight's franticness and the haste in which she made her accusations, but as Jewelius correctly (if one-sidedly) argues, Twilight's behavior was not the only reason for the invasion occurring. From that point forward, the exiles realize and eventually own up to their own role in the events leading up to said invasion (both in not being openminded enough to realize that something fishy was going on until it was too late, and in forgetting the lesson they learned about never taking a friend's concerns for granted). In the end, when Twilight reconciles with her friends, brother and mentor, she as well as all of them admit that they each played a role in their falling out at the rehearsal as well as in Twilight falling for Jewelius' manipulations and disowning her loved ones in retaliation. Everypony chooses to blame only themselves (or in the Mane Five's case, each other collectively) for their own failings while comforting and assuring each other that none of them was entirely to blame for anything.

Irony: When the discredited heroes try unsuccessfully to convince Canterlot's citizens of Jewilius' treachery, the suggestion to have Chrysalis corroborate this is shut down on the grounds that a being that habitually deceives ponies can't be trusted to tell the truth. Telling the truth is exactly what Chrysalis does when she confronts Twilight shortly after the Changelings' escape, and it is her mocking but uncharacteristically honest assertion that Jewilius is trying to get rid of everypony who can threaten him (as he did to Chrysalis herself) which causes Twilight to start having second thoughts about siding with him. Jewelius helped Chrysalis sneak past Shining Armor's magic barrier by showing her the entrance of the crystal caverns. Later the fugitive heroes escape from Canterlot by using those same caverns, and this seems to never cross Jewelius' mind. Jewelius plans to have Celestia hanged and remembered with hatred. However, she makes a highly remorseful and apologetic final speech which succeeds in earning the forgiveness of Canterlot’s citizens and Twilight. Still, Celestia submits to being hanged and Jewelius carries on with her execution, despite the objections of the crowd. Luckily, Luna intervenes and saves her sister. But even if Jewelius succeeded in killing Celestia, the public still would have turned against him for carrying out such an act of cruelty. After betraying the Changelings, Jewelius treats them as if they're just savage beasts, even calling Chrysalis a "despicable animal" in the 11th chapter. They end up killing him like a pack of hungry animals would.

Aesop Amnesia: Unlike in canon, this trope is called out due to this being an Accusation Fic. In response to the heroes' claims that Jewilius is a self-serving backstabber, Twilight (who has fallen in with his manipulative tactics) replies that they didn't live up to the lesson they'd previously learned about never taking a friend's concerns for granted. The heroes uncomfortably acknowledge how right she is not to trust them again, and concede this statement after she has her Jerkass Realization and reconciles with them (in part because the consequences of forgetting this moral were far more severe this time around).

Big Bad Wannabe

Big Bad Wannabe: Queen Chrysalis veers into this territory. Even though she's objectively just as dangerous as she's canonically, she's defeated and imprisoned in the fic's first quarter, and Jewelius, whose actions and manipulation skills make Chrysalis look like a fledgling, causes the main problems of the story. Jewelius himself helped Chrysalis to sneak into Canterlot and steal Cadance's identity, playing her like a fiddle before successfully double-crossing her once he decided he has more to win from her downfall. (In one of the 11th chapter's flashbacks, he even briefly criticizes her for endangering their plan by making Twilight suspicious with her imperfect impersonation of Cadance.) Though Chrysalis escapes from Canterlot's dungeons and everypony (except for Jewelius himself) is afraid of a new Changeling invasion, she's unable to win Twilight when the unicorn blocks her way to Jewelius, so she retreats to plan from the shadows. After the heroes defeat Jewelius' forces and corner him, Chrysalis sweeps in and takes her revenge on Jewelius. She then attempts to take the main antagonist role back, only for Shining Armor and Cadance to give her her canonical defeat that has been delayed only because of the plot interferences Jewelius caused.

Ascended Fridge Horror: Ponies do suffer serious injuries during the Changeling invasion, including most of the royal guards, and once they're told (immediately after the invaders are stopped by Twilight, no less) only a slightly altered recount of how Celestia, Shining Armor and Twilight's friends failed to suspect Chrysalis and refused to listen to Twilight about her, they accept it when Jewelius brings the failed protectors down for putting them all in danger. Though the wounded guards are actually murdered on Jewelius' orders, it's easy to make the public believe that their injuries were too fatal. When one week has passed since the invasion, a filly tells that her parents are still in the hospital due to injures caused to them by the Changelings.

Anti-Villain: Lieutenant Shackle qualifies as a Villain in Name Only; she never really does or says anything remotely malicious, and she serves Jewelius mostly out of the misguided belief that it's the best way she can protect ponies. She's rather easy to convince to undergo a Heel–Face Turn during the attack on Ponyville, for she was right from the beginning opposed to the idea more than the rest of Jewelius' cronies. Jewelius' personal assistant Vivian serves him in everything he does, but she's rather impersonal and never displays sadism. She does express remorse for having to murder all the injured Royal Guards who haven't sworn loyalty to Jewelius, looks uneasily at Jewelius when he decides to massacre all of Ponyville's inhabitants, and is shocked when he kills a guard just for asking a wrong question. She says during her Motive Rant that she's disgruntled with the way ponies rely on the alicorns and the Elements of Harmony to uphold peace, believing that they need independence to take care of themselves and that Jewelius' rule will bring it to them.

Big "SHUT UP!": Twilight screams this in the 12th chapter after refusing to listen to her friends and brother's pleas about Jewelius' true nature, all while breaking down into tears and crying. This only earns the heroes more ire from the angry crowd who sympathize with Twilight. After he drops his polite façade, Jewelius shouts a big "SILENCE!" in four separate instances; two first ones at the Mane Five in the fifth and sixth chapters, the third one at Canterlot's citizens in the 17th chapter, and the last one at Celestia when she praises the Mane Six for stopping his army. Hildread yells this to Shining Armor when she argues with him about her righteousness in the 18th chapter.

Jewelius himself refuses to believe there's anything to fear from the escaped Changelings, no matter how much Fancy Pants, Twilight, and Canterlot's citizens insist so. This eventually comes back to bite him in the flank during the climax. He also continues maintaining the belief that Celestia will be remembered as a failure by the future generations, even though this has become unlikely due to the forgiveness she earned through the apology speech she gave at her failed execution and because of Jewelius' own shortsighted actions.

Jewelius calling the heroes out in the fifth chapter ends up becoming a double subversion because his status as the Big Bad becomes unconcealed, but the heroes nevertheless admit he's right about how badly they screwed up. Cadance does a subtly downplayed version; while saddened to learn what happened at the rehearsal, she's understanding and never angry with Shining Armor and the others for not believing Twilight. However, she tells him what role Twilight played in them becoming a couple years ago and asks him to make amends with Twilight before they get married. Though she says this gently, he takes it for an ultimatum.

Sympathy for the Devil: When Hildread's defeated, Shining Armor feels sorry for his ruthless yet dedicated rival. For all of Jewelius' evil deeds and well-deserved end, the heroes — especially the three princesses — feel sad that he couldn't be redeemed.

Refuge in Audacity: An In-Universe example of this is a large part of why Jewelius succeeds with his coup. As soon as the Changelings have been shrunk and Vivian brings the wedding guests and Royal Guards in, he confronts Celestia, Shining Armor and the Mane Five in front of everypony, hostilely calling them out of how they behaved during the wedding preparations and treated Twilight at the rehearsal. He goes so far as to blame Cadance for letting the disguised Chrysalis (who was really Jewelius himself) take her by surprise, and he rudely interrupts the Mane Five with a Big "SHUT UP!" before they can say anything to defend themselves. He then proceeds to rattle everypony further with his New Era Speech in which he blames all the other heroes but Twilight for the collateral damages of the invasion and promises to set them right. The heroes become so panicked that they try to escape, which backfires and makes them look as guilty as Jewelius accuses them of being. So the guards imprison them on his orders, and everypony starts turning on the heroes while accepting Jewelius as their new ruler.

Adaptational Wimp: Played a bit with Queen Chrysalis. While she's objectively no less dangerous than in the canon "A Canterlot Wedding", the more skilled manipulator Jewelius takes the full-on Big Bad role in this story, making Chrysalis more of a Big Bad Wannabe. She learns about the wedding and the caves under Canterlot straight from Jewelius who also lures Cadance into an ambush, allowing Chrysalis to steal her identity. The canon doesn't indicate that she needed any quisling to directly provide her with all her information or help her capture Cadance. She's also outmatched by Twilight during their duel in the 13th chapter, though at that point, she no longer has the power-up which she needed to defeat Celestia a week earlier.

Hypocrite: Jewelius in more than one way. He admonishes the heroes for being overly focused on the wedding when there was a threat of an attack in the air. He himself gets so caught up tormenting his prisoners that he forgets about Luna who wasn't imprisoned with the others, allowing her to rescue Celestia from hanging. He also willfully dismisses the renewed threat of the escaped Changelings and focuses entirely on destroying the heroes. This bites him in the flank big time in the end. Also, for all his talk about the ponykind needing to be strong enough to fend for itself without the aid of the alicorns and the Elements of Harmony, he himself is a coward who has a lot of cunning and no power, letting his more powerful allies/pawns (one of whom is the Element of Magic) to fight for him. The argument he gives Twilight of the banished heroes choosing to ignore the reality in favor of their fantasies ends up fitting him due to his delusions of grandeur and stubborn refusal to acknowledge the escaped Changelings as an immediate threat. During their duel in the climax, Vivian admonishes Rainbow Dash of offering to a stranger blind loyalty to the point of giving her friend the cold shoulder. The Element of Loyalty concedes Vivian's point, but then she says Vivian is in no position to preach about blind loyalty while she serves a monster like Jewelius without objection.

The Chessmaster: Turns out Jewelius planned for the Changeling invasion to happen on Shining Armor and Cadance's wedding day; it was all a ploy to have the princesses overthrown and exiled, along with the Mane Six, Spike and Shining Armor. The canonical Queen Chrysalis escapes from Canterlot's dungeons with her army and leaves one disguised Changeling behind to help Twilight (after she has come to her senses) escape to Ponyville with her parents and the Elements of Harmony. After Jewelius is cornered by the heroes, Chrysalis appears and has her Changelings kill the traitor, attempting then to subdue the heroes who are exhausted from fighting his minions. Unfortunately for her, Shining Armor and Cadance blast the entire Changeling army out of Equestria by Twilight's suggestion.

Let No Crisis Go to Waste: Immediately after Twilight has stopped the Changelings' invasion, Jewelius turns the entire city of Canterlot against all the other heroes by telling half-truths about their mistakes and bringing up the damages both the structures and ponies suffered because of these mistakes. Promising to be a more responsible ruler than the princesses, he makes himself Equestria's king and turns the princesses, Shining Armor and Twilight's friends into enemies of the state. He himself caused the invasion by striking an alliance with the Changelings in order to take over Equestria with them, but he decided he'll gain more out of thwarting the invasion by helping Twilight Sparkle and pinning the blame on all the other heroes rather than settling for ruling as Queen Chrysalis' partner.

He does all of this without hesitation or regret, even mocking Lieutenant Shackle for her visible horror over the last one.

Dark Magical Girl: Twilight gains several DMG traits after she falls in with Jewelius' manipulations. Deeply hurt that her brother, friends and mentor abandoned her at the wedding rehearsal for trying to protect her brother (as well as by the resulting sense of loneliness), Jewelius convinces her that they only used her and never really cared about her, so she devotes herself to serving Jewelius as his apprentice and fiancée, unaware that it's actually he who's shamelessly taking advantage of the magical prodigy. Adopting a sullen disposition, she doesn't much act on her conscience when it comes to Jewelius' more questionable activities, and though she hasn't stopped entirely caring about her former loved ones, she's very reluctant to trust them as they try to get through to her. Realizing the truth leads her to have major feelings of guilt which her loved ones need to alleviate by assuring her that she's not entirely responsible for what has happened, allowing her and her friends to use the Elements of Harmony with their renewed friendship.

Cue the Sun: As Celestia prepares to face the gallows after apologizing to Twilight and everypony else for letting them down, she raises the sun to bring morning to Equestria for the last time. Her words alone garner forgiveness from Twilight and Canterlot's citizens, but seeing the morning sun causes them all to beg for Jewelius to spare Celestia who ends up being rescued by Luna who also releases the other imprisoned heroes. From here begins the gradual process of Jewelius' downfall and the heroes' fortunes taking a turn for the better.

During his outburst towards the heroes, Jewelius doesn't hold Twilight responsible for the invasion and tells her in a softer tone that she's done enough for one day (that is, shrinking the Changeling army).

Tears of Remorse: Shining Armor sheds these several times when he beats himself up over his mistakes. First, when he's being taken away from Canterlot. Second, when Cadance tells him how Twilight helped them to become a couple (both before and after the recount). And again when he and his sister finally reconcile in the 17th chapter. Spike when he's left alone in a dark forest and discovers that Jewelius has given him the wedding cake toppers as a cruel reminder of turning his back on Twilight in the 7th chapter. For the same reason as Spike above, Rarity reacts like this when she discovers that Jewelius has gifted her with her bridesmaid dress in the 9th chapter. After Jewelius finally reveals his true colors to her, Twilight is reduced to a sobbing mess from the guilt of helping a monster take over Equestria and turning her back on her loved ones. Twilight and her friends share these as well as Tears of Joy upon their reconciliation. Lieutenant Shackle when the heroes convince her to redeem herself by helping them stop the attack on Ponyville. In the epilogue, Twilight and Shining Armor shed these when they apologize to one other one more time.

Double-subverted with the majority of the Royal Guard. At first it looks as though they have sworn loyalty to Jewelius at the drop of a hat, but it's revealed in the 11th chapter that while most guards suffered serious injuries during the invasion, many of them continued swearing loyalty to the dismantled princesses. On Jewelius' orders, they were murdered in the infirmary and declared to be casualties of the invasion, allowing Jewelius to fill the greatly decreased ranks with criminals whose loyalty he bought for himself.

Hate Sink: Jewelius is intentionally written to be as hateful as possible in order to give the readers somepony to hate instead of any of the heroes. This is achieved with his exceeding cruelty, sadism, hatred of his aunt and cousin as well as his obsession of ruining his family and the heroes' public image to the point of making Ponyville suffer and wiping out the injured royal guards who remained loyal to the princesses. Moreover, his lack of remorse for his actions is juxtaposed with the heroes, who are shown to be consumed by guilt and determined to atone for their misdoings. Even Commander Hildread and Queen Chrysalis are easier to root for than Jewelius.

Lysistrata Gambit: A G-rated example that's probably unintentional; Cadance tells Shining Armor that while she can forgive him for his mistakes, he should make amends with Twilight before they get married.

The Mole: Jewelius stroke a partnership with Queen Chrysalis to invade Equestria together on Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding day. He helped her sneak into Canterlot by telling her how to enter the caverns underneath the castle, and he lured Cadance into a trap, allowing Chrysalis to take her place. Nopony, not even Twilight, suspects him of anything foul. However, after Jewelius decides he'll gain more out of making Twilight his pawn, he helps her and Cadance out of the caves to expose Chrysalis, aiding Twilight in detaining the Changelings with the shrinking spell he showed her, but immediately afterwards he pins the blame for the invasion on all the other heroes and steals the throne.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Rarity receives her bridesmaid dress from Jewelius who wants to taunt her with the painful memories it gives her, she's so disgusted with herself that she destroys the dress she was once proud to have made, much to the others' surprise. Twilight bitterly renouncing her brother, mentor and friends in the tenth chapter as well as claiming that their bonds with her were never true is a major forewarning to how cynical she has become in one week. This is revealed to be a cause of Jewelius using her heartache from the events of the wedding to turn her into his loyal pawn. When Chrysalis and the Changelings escape and are confronted by Twilight, the normally dishonest and evil queen mockingly but sincerely tells her that Jewilius will likely dispose of her once she's no longer useful to him like he did to Chrysalis herself. Since it was made clear that Chrysalis is a selfish, deceitful character who shouldn't be trusted to clarify the truth, her honest warning about Jewelius makes it clear as to which of the two is the bigger threat. An in-universe example occurs after Twilight has fled from Canterlot following her discovery that Jewelius is The Sociopath and that her friends' warnings about him were entirely true. Jewelius tries to tell Canterlot's citizens that Twilight too has betrayed them, but such is her good standing among the citizens that according to them, her being forced to turn against or run away from somepony is never a good sign. Sure enough, Jewelius proves their worries right by declaring any sympathy towards the fugitives to be treason, thereby losing his good PR. When Jewelius decides to wipe out Ponyville's population along with the heroes, not only is Shackle horrified and Vivian looking uncomfortable, but even Hildread, who has never before shown to have had any trouble with carrying out her master's plans, is appalled. You know the villain is going too far when even his most brutal minion thinks so.

Big Damn Heroes: Just as Celestia is about to be publicly hanged in the 12th chapter, Luna appears from the crowd to cut the rope. The heroes end up saving each other several times during the Final Battle; Twilight prevents Hildread from delivering the final blow to the downed Shining Armor, who in turn prevents Hildread from striking his sister with her sharp metal feathers. Finally, just as Jewelius is about to decapitate the bound Celestia with a sword, Cadance magically blasts the sword away.

Cain and Abel: Jewelius and Cadance are a cousin example. Though Cadance loves Jewelius to the point of regarding him as her younger brother, he hates her more than he hates the other heroes because she's more adored than he is. When he figures out that she hasn't died during her banishment, he devices a plan to have her killed in a way that won't make him look suspicious.

Digging Yourself Deeper: Jewelius invokes this trope when he takes the captured heroes out to be Forced to Watch Celestia's Public Execution. Because of his good standing among Canterlot's citizens who promptly berate the heroes for how they let the Changeling invasion occur, he knows that any attempt by the heroes to expose him for The Sociopath he really is will only lead to them being even more scorned upon, and watches gleefully as that very thing happens. Unfortunately for Jewelius, this is what causes Celestia to realize that the citizens and Twilight have lost all faith in her, so she instead uses her farewell address to issue a public apology and take full responsibility for her role in the whole mess, dispelling the anger directed at her and causing the citizens and Twilight to begin demanding that she be spared.

Undying Loyalty
 Loved and Lost (Fanfic) / int_f16da697
comment
Undying Loyalty: Even though Jewelius manages to disgrace Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor, the Mane Five and Spike in the eyes of Twilight and Canterlot's population, he has no such success in making them hate Cadance. Though the above-mentioned group is scorned about everywhere, the town of Ponyville quickly shelters them. It helps that Jewelius has not inspired any loyalty there by making the life there miserable ever since his rise to power. Double-subverted with the majority of the Royal Guard. At first it looks as though they have sworn loyalty to Jewelius at the drop of a hat, but it's revealed in the 11th chapter that while most guards suffered serious injuries during the invasion, many of them continued swearing loyalty to the dismantled princesses. On Jewelius' orders, they were murdered in the infirmary and declared to be casualties of the invasion, allowing Jewelius to fill the greatly decreased ranks with criminals whose loyalty he bought for himself. After Twilight finally turns against Jewelius, he tries to label her as another traitor, but Canterlot's citizens don't believe for one minute that she'd go against him without good reason.

Sudden Principled Stand: After being manipulated to turn against nearly everypony dearest to her by Jewelius, Twilight does very little against his corruption, feeling that there isn't much she can do. However, when he orders her to lie to Canterlot's citizens by saying that the situation with the recently escaped Changelings is under his control, she goes against his instructions and tells the crowd what's the situation really. This lands her with Jewelius into an argument that gets her to finally realize how truly evil he is.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Jewelius doesn't understand why Twilight or Canterlot's citizens would want to forgive the dishonored heroes and start speaking against him after everything he has done to make sure they'd hate the fugitives. When he's begging all the heroes to spare him, he offers to reorganize the wedding so that the Mane Five can be bridesmaids and Twilight the best mare, failing to realize that they're all past letting their moral compasses be blinded by such trivial things again. Queen Chrysalis shows further how she fails to understand love; she allows Jewelius to trick her into thinking they're villainous sweethearts and is genuinely surprised by his betrayal. How does she expect to be loved by a guy from who she's literally unable to drain love to feed on? As Shining Armor states in his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Commander Hildread, she doesn't have what it takes to be a good protector due to believing too much in using brutality to enforce security.

The Dog Bites Back

The Dog Bites Back: Combined with A Taste of Their Own Medicine. After Cadance gets hurt, Twilight — who has been corrupted by Jewelius — lashes out at her former loved ones by giving them an earful of how hurt she felt after they abandoned her at the wedding rehearsal and traps them in a bubble as payback. On the other hoof, this is how Jewelius meets his end. Having tricked Chrysalis into thinking they were Villainous Sweethearts and then double-crossed her after deciding he'd get more out of helping Twilight stop her, he doesn't know that Chrysalis is NOT going to take this lying down, nor is she going to wait for him to deal with the heroes before exacting her revenge. Sure enough, when he is finally defeated by the heroes, Chrysalis swoops in and sics her Changelings on him.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Though it's not closely examined, Vivian claims herself to be this in her Motive Rant, saying that ponies entrust their protection too much to the alicorns and the Elements of Harmony and need to be independent the same way she thinks they were before Celestia and Luna started ruling them. Though she's wrong to think that Jewelius' rule will give the ponykind any independence, her stated motivations may be sincere, given her utter lack of sadistic tendencies, highly impersonal demeanor, and two moments of displaying distaste for her master's decision to murder a large number of fine military ponies just because they haven't sworn loyalty to him, and later all of Ponyville's inhabitants along with the heroes too.

Crime-Concealing Hobby: Jewelius has traveled a lot to explore and learn more about Equestria. His true reason for doing that has been to find a way to get the throne for himself. He learned about the Changelings and the caverns beneath Canterlot through these travels, and once he was told the date of his cousin's wedding, he traveled to the Badlands to forge an alliance with Queen Chrysalis, providing her with information about the caverns.

Evil Is Petty: Jewelius proves himself to be quite spiteful after he becomes a king. He gifts Spike and later Rarity with specific items (the wedding cake toppers and Rarity's bridesmaid dress, respectively) just to rub salt in the wound after they're banished. He makes Ponyville's inhabitants suffer through raised taxes and trading prohibitions, excusing that the "traitorous" Mane Five's home town needs to be made an example of when in reality, he just hated it when Rarity claimed nopony would possibly want to ruin "such a glorious event like the wedding of the wonderful Princess Mi Amore Cadenza". Even his entire hatred of Cadance and Celestia boils down to petty jealousy.

When Twinkleshine calls the heroes out of not caring about her, Minuette and Lyra's disappearance, Shining Armor tells them what excuses Chrysalis gave for replacing them with the Mane Five: that they only wanted to meet Canterlot's royalty. Shocked and hurt that anypony believed such slander, Twinkleshine bursts into tears. Shining Armor earns more ire for himself from the three mares' sympathizers as a result, and when he protests that he didn't mean to hurt their feelings, Twilight replies that as in the rehearsal, he did so nonetheless.

Pet the Dog: During his outburst towards the heroes, Jewelius doesn't hold Twilight responsible for the invasion and tells her in a softer tone that she's done enough for one day (that is, shrinking the Changeling army). This, along with all the rest of his kindness toward her, is just to sway her into trusting him. After Twilight is confirmed to have taken a level in jerkass and disowns Shining Armor, he is publicly flogged. Twilight takes no enjoyment from it at all and tries to speak on his behalf at one point, showing that despite her anger, she hasn't stopped entirely caring about her brother. Though Vivian carries out her master's order to wipe out all the injured Royal Guards who are still loyal to the dismantled princesses, she expresses some pity for the fine military ponies she's ordered to kill.
