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 [[Written Byby 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.
----
=== This Fan Webcomic contains examples of: ===
 
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Each episode features a different primary POV character. "The Mare in the Moon" focuses on Twilight; "Griffon the Brush-Off" primarily stars Pinkie Pie, and "A Dog and Pony Show" revolves around Rarity.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Pinkie Pie.
* [[Big "What?"]]: Nightmare Moon, when Twilight {{spoiler|turns the others against her}}.
Line 41:
* [[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 Withwith 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.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Used when {{spoiler|Celestia tears Luna apart}}.
Line 50:
* [[I Know You Know I Know]]
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink|I Need A Freaking Milkshake]]: In "Griffon the Brush-Off", Pinkie Pie decides to go get one to distract herself from her suspicions.
* [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage]]: Pinkie thinks that {{spoiler|Twilight ripping open a hydra's belly with her horn}} is a ''beautiful'' sight.
* [[Irony]] (Situational): Twilight thinks the others might betray her to Celestia, but {{spoiler|they're all working for Nightmare Moon}}.
* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: "Griffon The Brush-Off" sees Pinkie Pie doing this to {{spoiler|Dashie}}. Whether or not [[Gene Hunt Interrogation Technique|she's enjoying it]] is ambigious... in ''THAT'' instance, at least.
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}}.
* [[Written Byby 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}}.
