Pony POV Series/YMMV

You can return to the main page here.

YMMV Tropes In This Fan Fiction Include:
"Discord: YES!!! (Evil Laugh + Evil Gloating)"
 * Alas, Poor Scrappy:
 * Alas, Poor Villain:
 * Alternative Character Interpretation:
 * Invoked by Word of God with
 * Another one is provided by "AJ's Dream".
 * Award Snub: The fic is actively insulted on Equestria Daily because they think Applejack's accent is too thick. Seriously. They did accept the Audio Adaptation, however.
 * Base Breaker:
 * Cerebus Retcon:
 * According to a Loose Canon story, the reason Pinkie has Medium Awareness is because   . Why?    .
 * Remember the Parasprites?
 * Complete Monster:
 * Discord.
 * Not only did he do the canon stuff, the canon stuff is portrayed as Mind Rape and what he does to Trixie is just... Brutal. On top of that, he's also responsible for at least three genocides, neither of which he really seems to give a darn about.
 * Word of God refers to Discord as an "egotistical, sadistic hedonist". That probably tells you a good bit of how monstrous this guy is.
 * It doesn't help that Discord's Mind Rape is actually described almost as if it's real rape, including one of the Wonderbolts stating she feels "violated" by what he did to her. And Discord does this for fun!
 * To sum up, as opposed to the more canonical view of him being a more malicious Equestrian Loki, this universe has him portrayed as a more whimsical Equestrian Satan. In fact, the actual Equestrian Satan was his Evil Mentor!
 * Loneliness:
 * It's implied Fluttercruel and Angry Pie fit this in the Bad Future, Fluttercruel doing things so horrific that "Twilight Tragedy" refuses to tell us (of note, she has no problem informing us of every horrific detail of Discord's reign except this) and Angry Pie has apparently been known to murder anyone she thinks is laughing at her. She even attacked 'the Master' [Discord] at one point for laughing in her presence, which went as well as you'd think. In Fluttercruel's case, it serves to highlight how different the version of her in the timeline proper is from what she would have become. With Angry Pie, it shows just how horrible it'd probably be if she'd succeeded with her Split Personality Takeover.
 * Celestia's brother Morning Star was implied to be every bit as vile as Discord is, as Celestia describes Discord's soulless eyes as being exactly like his. In fact, Morning Star was Discord's mentor!
 * Crack Pairing: Averted between.
 * Crazy Awesome:
 * Pinkie Pie. Even more so after
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The music for the audio adaptation certainly qualifies.
 * Especially the Theme Song; We'll Make It Through
 * Flanderization:
 * An in-universe example: Pinkie Pie tries to repair the damage Discord caused to the other ponies (and especially herself) by taking her normal personality and cranking it Up to Eleven, partying continuously without sleep for almost three weeks.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment:
 * Another moment that ties into the same discovery: in "Links," shortly before Pinkie Pie  It's just Pinkie being Pinkie, right? ...Until later, when we learn that
 * Genius Bonus: You're going to need a cheat sheet when you get deep into the G3-G4 Generation Transition POV, as the level of Mind Screw is up there with Primer in the amount of things you need to hold onto at any given time.
 * Harsher in Hindsight:
 * If you read this, then Sweetie Belle's strained delivery of "I like her...mane..." takes on a whole new meaning.
 * In the
 * Onyx has racism towards the other two races of pony. "Hearth's Warming Eve" gave a valid explaination for why he might.
 * Jerkass Woobie:
 * Filthy Rich/Onyx Tiara. Think about it. If you were aware of how pegasi and Unicorns once used your sun-species as effective slave labor, and how no one else of your sub species seems to care and in fact have friendships with them despite all that you and your kin endured because of them, wouldn't you be a little bitter?
 * Coffee Swirl.
 * Marey-Sue: Invoked in universe by Pinkie Pie
 * Memetic Molester: In Universe and Deconstructed Trope. Celestia gets a lot of crap from the tabloids, most of it she just laughs off and in some cases exploits. The rumor they spread about her being a molester is the only one that truly seems to hurt her.
 * Moral Event Horizon: "Origins", being a prequel explaining Discord's Start of Darkness, gives several equally horrific options for Discord, but thus far, the most obvious is
 * And then there's
 * Just when you thought he was out of lines to cross!
 * Guess what this does to Diamond Tiara. Worse? It's implied by the jump cuts during the vision that Discord controlled what she saw just so he could tell her she doesn't have a happy life solely due to her own actions.
 * His reaction?

"Golden Tiara: "Ya disconnect this bone connected to the hip bone, you disconnect this bone connected to the shoulder bone, you disconnect this bone connected to the neck bone, wait, better not touch that one on second thought. Fold myself up, if I try really hard I'm sure I could fit into a soup can. Really scared the hay out of an orderly one time, you'd think they'd never saw a mare hiding in a box half her size before! Took a while to get out, especially since he fainted on top of me.""
 * Nightmare Fuel: Has it's own page.
 * Plot Tumor: The whole  arc and all the other cosmic sidestories spun off from it.
 * However, it doesn't really affect the main story line that much, outside of a few character's back-stories and setting up the Origins Arc.
 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: The fic gives this treatment to
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Say what you will about the consequences of her actions, but Fluttercruel's tirade about Fluttershy's (somewhat hypocritical) Friend to All Living Things attitude drops a lot of anvils about Nature that are often glossed over in stories like this and makes very valid points.
 * Squick: Golden Tiara (a.k.a. "Screwball") can squeeze through tight spaces with ease, like slipping through cell-bars or squeezing her way through drainage systems. How does she do this? Why, by voluntarily dislocating her own bones.


 * Tear Jerker: Now on its own page.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: The first episode of Reharmonized Ponies begins with the ending of Epilogue, the picture slowly burning away to reveal the ending of "The Return of Harmony".
 * What Could Have Been:
 * In-universe, Applejack learns what could have happened had she remained in Manehatten:.
 * Also in universe, is Luna telling Fluttershy how,
 * The Woobie:
 * Dear Celestia, where do we begin!?
 * Special mention goes to
 * Now its been revealed that
