comment |
The Petriculture Cycle by Kwakerjak is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction series that all starts with Twilight asking the question: "Just what IS 'rock farming', anyway?" Suffice to say, the answer turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined...The series consists of the following seven stories: Petriculture Inscape Avocation π Pandelirium Transdementia ManifestoAll are complete.As the premise of each successive story is more or less grounded in the surprise ending of the previous story, be extra careful of spoilers below.The author had declared the cycle complete with the ending of Pandelirium, but reopened it with the publication of the first chapter of Transdementia. |

Unwinnable by Design: The bet. Penumbra has the ability to not laugh if she doesn't want to. The idea was to force Discord to put himself in Penumbra's shoes, and hopefully this empathy would lead him to friendship. But then Scootaloo unwittingly spills the beans... |

Unusual Chapter Numbers: Used to highlight its Back to Front nature. There are two storylines, one set at the present time (told in normal sequence) and a series of flashbacks to Discord's first reign of chaos (in reverse chronological order). The chapters are numbered in reverse as well, and the story ends with a prologue. |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Subverted. Penumbra is unquestionably good at several the jobs she applies to, but ends up losing each one due to her own person being... less than unquestionable. |

| | The Petriculture Cycle (Fanfic) / int_6858aca8 |
comment |
Punctuated Pounding: Twilight is not happy once she finds out Nightmare's plans. She mentions each of her friends; then, "As she rattled off each name, Twilight repeatedly slammed the Nightmare into the ground, a wall, or any other surface that looked solid enough to cause significant trauma. It was far more satisfying than making a checkmark on a scroll with a quill." |

Wimp Fight |

comment |
Wimp Fight: When Discord and Pinkie finally face off, the first thing they do is engage in a comically ineffective slap-fight while calling each other names. Only after several minutes of that do they start the proper magic duel. Of course, both of them only did it because they thought it would be funny. |

Alternate Universe: To Equestria Girls. Sunset Shimmer sneaks into Equestria to steal the Element of Magic and escapes through the magic mirror, but Princess Celestia sends Pinkie Pie rather than Twilight to bring it back. Penumbra has to go along for the ride, since she lives in Pinkie's mind - and so does Discord, since he's hiding out at Penumbra's place after faking his death at the end of Pandelirium. |

Named After First Installment: Named after the first entry in the series, "Petriculture". The question of "What is petriculture / rockfarming?" is the point of divergence of the fanfic from the original work. |

The Coup |
| | The Petriculture Cycle (Fanfic) / int_e27693 |
comment |
The Coup: Subverted. Due to the Nightmare's corruption, Twilight wants Celestia's and Luna's thrones for herself. Due to her own bookishness and sense of order, Twilight doesn't try to take the throne by violence—instead she presents logical arguments for why the princesses should cede the throne. This is then double-subverted, when Pinkie uncovers that the Nightmare wants a violent coup—her real goal isn't power, but killing Celestia—and is manipulating Twilight to that end. Nothing comes of this manipulation, however, because Twi learns about it and immediately turns on the Nightmare. In the aftermath, Twilight is mortified at her actions and asks for forgiveness. Luna points out that she doesn't need to be forgiven, because she never broke any laws during her attempted power grab. |

Insistent Terminology: Penumbra's "Don't call me Penny" line gets used in various ways, by both her and others. Pinkie borrows it when Discord addresses her by her full name ("Don't call me Pinkamena"), and both girls start it together when he introduces them to Principal Celestia as Pinkamena and Penny. |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Discussed and averted. Not only does Penumbra not put any stock in this trope, it turns out that it isn't even applicable. Alicorns aren't actually immortal; they just "don't leave until they're ready to go." |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Twilight really does believe that Equestria will be better off with her in charge. By the end of Twilight's presentation, even Celestia and Luna agree with her points regarding the research itself and give Twilight the go-ahead to access them. The main issue is handing actual rule of Equestria to Twilight, to which Celestia notes Twilight would be ill-suited for because of all the politics involved. |
