Line 4:
Once upon a time, the magical land of Equestria was ruled by two sisters: one who governed the sun and one who controlled the moon. However, the darker sister grew resentful and turned upon her sibling, becoming the dreaded Nightmare Moon. In order to save their subjects, the elder was forced to call upon the Elements of Harmony, sealing her away in the moon and taking the burden of controlling the night upon herself. Ever since then, Equestria has been peaceful and harmonic...
 
At least, that's the [[WrittenbytheWritten By the Winners|version of events]] passed down by Celestia herself. Twilight Sparkle, however, suspects there's more to the story than that... and she wants nothing more than to see that mule fall.
 
As the name implies, ''[http://mlp-fib.thecomicseries.com/comics/ Friendship is Betrayal]'' is a [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Fanfic|Fan]][[Web Comic|Comic]] based on ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Rather than being Celestia's faithful student, Twilight merely pretends to be loyal while plotting to bring about the cruel alicorn's downfall. To succeed, she'll need allies -- but who, if ''anyone'', can she trust? As both mentor and student prove, the most sinister of intentions can be hidden behind the brightest of smiles.
Line 40:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The Diamond Dogs state they hate the ponies for something which was done to their species by them, and are perfectly willing to take it out on Rarity.
* [[Fantastic Slurs]]: 'Mule' is thrown about [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|fairly frequently]].
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: "A Dog and Pony Show" starts this way: Celestia offers Rarity a penthouse in Canterlot in exchange for designing a beautiful gown for the princess to wear to the Grand Galloping Gala. However, Rarity fears that if her friends learn about this, they'll suspect she supports the mule... So she tries to [[Take a Third Option]] by completing the work ''secretly''.
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: Friendship Is Betrayal shortens to FIB.
* [[Geas]]: Spike is bound to Twilight by magic and cannot leave her service. Twilight rather gleefully informs Fluttershy of this when she tries to convince him to ditch Twi and stay with ''her'' instead.
Line 71:
* [[Properly Paranoid]]
* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]: Nightmare Moon's rebellion. Twilight's rebellion is shaping up to be little better.
* [[Self -Made Orphan]]: {{spoiler|Twilight}} accidentally became one, while {{spoiler|Pinkie Pie}} deliberately did so.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Pinkie's murder schemes sure seem to involve the victims with [[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Cupcakes]].
* [[Splash of Color]]: [[Flash Back|Flashbacks]] are mostly grayscale, with only a few things left colored.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: The seeds of Twilight's resentment of her mentor were planted when {{spoiler|she left her parents cursed as plants, gleefully telling Twilight the curse she'd accidentally laid upon them could never be reversed -- but that was okay, since that meant she could take her on as a student!}}
Line 83:
* [[Vain Sorceress]]: Rarity believes she's [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]], and has used magic to make her dresses more desirable.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Nightmare Moon wishes to overthrow the tyrannical Celestia, but her overbearing methods don't win her many followers {{spoiler|and ultimately leads to her downfall}}.
* [[WrittenbytheWritten By the Winners]]: Twilight doesn't trust Celestia's account of what happened.
* [[Yandere]]: Pinkie Pie is a little obsessed with Rainbow Dash, since {{spoiler|witnessing her Sonic Rainboom changed her whole mindset}}.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: The fate of {{spoiler|the Diamond Dog's leader}}.
