Line 40:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: That pretty little bauble that Sweetie Belle's machine made? That'll be important later on. {{spoiler|Specifically, it's a [[Power Crystal|Mox Lotus]].}}
* [[Color-Coded Elements]]: Literally. Each Element of Harmony is aligned to a specific color of Magic: the Gathering magic, except for Magic, which is attracting all colors of Magic magic. [[Department of Redundancy Department|Magically.]]
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The designs for the elementals were decided upon before the show's second season began. However, by the time Pinkie met the laughter elemental in-story, she'd already had [[Mind Rape|an unpleasant experience]] with constantly laughing balloons [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E1/E01 The Return of Harmony Part 1|in canon]]. Cue the [[Aside Comment]]:
{{quote|It's a good thing this story takes place before Season Two, or I'd find this a lot more disturbing.}}
* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That|The Courier Capsule Knew You Would Say That]]: Tezzeret does this to Jace before explaining why it would be a very bad idea not to teach the nice pony blue magic.
Line 122:
* [[Original Character]]: Several, ranging from Ditzy's husband to Celestia's butler.
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: Angel Bunny combines white magic, meditation, and a carrot to great effect. One chapter's end card is him after doing so, appropriately named "Archangel Bunny."
* [[Our Goblins Are DifferentWickeder]]: Averted, with a side of [[Humans Are Bastards]]:
{{quote|Goblins were annoying, present in nearly every plane, came in only one quantity (too many), and had an impressive talent for killing themselves. Humans were largely similar, but generally had better hygiene and on occasion had better manners. }}
* [[Overly Long Name]]: Luna's full name is apparently Luna [[Meaningful Name|Diana Hecate]] Regina Nox Alicor.
** Carrot Top is an alias for one Zannoria Karatine Golden-Harvest the Fifth.
** For some reason or another, Desiderata Lillian Doo goes through life referred to by her fillyhood nickname 'Ditzy'.
** Though known to ponies as Angel Bunny, among his own kind he is [[Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom|Archon of Virtue, Who Punches Evil in the Face]].
* [[Phlebotinum Overdose]]: This is what Ditzy is trying to avert for most of the story. Too much magic in too little space [[The End of the World as We Know It|will not end well]] for Equestria. {{spoiler|Twilight basically turns into a walking Overdose when she becomes the magic elemental.}}
Line 135:
* [[Real Dreams Are Weirder]]: Rarity dreams of flying a spy plane made of candy over an unspecified enemy that hits her with bombs made of synthetic fabric. She overloads her reactor to [[Explosive Overclocking|forcibly deliver]] fifty kilotons of style to them when the generosity elemental [[Talking in Your Dreams|intercedes.]]
** No, it doesn't count as a [[Marshmallow Dream]] just because it was Rarity's.
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: Pinkie Pie, though she still grew up on that rock farm at the same time as the rest of the Mane Six. Shortly afterwards, she fell through a time rift and landed in a different universe several millennia earlier.
* [[Reluctant Monster]]: Almost all of the elementals have peaceful intentions. They just happen to be [[Power Incontinence|inherently harmful to the universe.]]
* [[Repetitive Name]]: Mayor Marion Mare
