Friendship Is Witchcraft: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Apple Bloom:''' Uh, Pinkie, if you're going to start singing, could you put the lyrics at the bottom of the screen?}}

** The extended version of said song has Pinkie singing about ''baking'' the fourth wall as part of her plan.

** The "Elmer's bath" that Fluttershy took prior to 'Dragone Baby Gone' appears to be a part of the usual treatment that she and Rarity have at her cult's "Conversion Spa" in 'Neigh, Soul Sister.'

** In "Dragone, Baby Gone", Twilight tells the dragon her [[Gaia Online|Gaia name]], Celestia2. Later, in "Lunar Slander," a Gaia user with the name Celestia2 suggests to Celestia that her sister is trying to destroy the throne, and that she should make her most faithful student a princess instead.

** This may have something to do with the massive shipfic about two of her friends that Twilight sent.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The line "They say a kitch-en time save nine" from "Pinkie's Brew" seems like a throwaway rhyme, but when various parents start coming [[Back From the Dead]] in "Neigh, Soul Sister", there's a counter counting up to nine.

* [[Cloudcuckooland]]: You'd be hard pressed to pick which character in Ponyville is the ''farthest'' off the deep end.

** As of the second episode it seems that Twilight Sparkle is at least a little crazier than Applejack and Rarity. Though not by much.

'''Diamond Tiara:''' Hey! Cakey is ''my'' best friend! I get to decide when she dies! }}

** Mocked by Sweetie Belle:

{{quote|'''Sweetie Belle:''' {{smallcaps|Why is it funny to laugh at someone else's misery?! "Oh look, our characters are so malevolent and heartless!" Maybe next we'll hear a new cheap catchphrase!}}

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Anypony voiced by Griffin Lewis. Silver Spoon in particular sounds a lot like [[Adventure Time|Lumpy Space Princess]]. And Celestia sounds more like a [[Drag Queen|queen]] than a princess.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Just barely audible in 'Read it and Sleep.'

* [[Cute Is Evil]]: Fluttershy, the soft spoken, aggressively [[Moe]], {{spoiler|half dragon}} leader of a ''doomsday cult''.

* [[Deal with the Devil]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] with Molestia offering her title to Twilight for assistance making friends.

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Along with Princesses Celestia and Molestia/Luna, in "Dragone Baby Gone" Twilight claims Celestia has named ''her'' a princess along with being the leader of Team D.E.S.U.

** And as of "Lunar Slander" {{spoiler|Luna gave her title to Twilight Sparkle}}.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Applejack has eaten mud (pretending it's chocolate) and an old sandwich on the floor ("It's still good!").

** It seems to run in the family; Apple Bloom eats paper.

'''Rainbow Dash:''' ''I'' don't!

'''Applejack:''' ''Almost'' all of us have some depth to our characters... }}

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Fluttershy's evil seems to be the product of her hellish childhood.

{{quote|'''Fluttershy:''' Do you know what a bunny fire is?

** Sweetie Belle is the only one to call out other characters on their callousness, when she's not busy "{{smallcaps|contemplating the fragility of life}}" and declaring her love for her sister. Despite being a robot.

* [[Original Character]]: [[In-Universe]]. The bat-winged pegasi are Molestia's OCs.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Rainbow Dash is voiced by Keesha Bush-Trenerry in "The Perfect Swarm" and Jenny Nicholson in later episodes.

* [[Out of Character]]: Rarity's decision to attend the Sentient Social instead of the return of [[Eldritch Abomination|Lord Smooze]] is one of the ''only'' endearing moments in the series.

* [[Prophetic Name]]: From "Cute From The Hip":

{{quote|'''Applejack''': We didn't name ya Apple Bloom so you could grow up to be the president.}}

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: When Sweetie Belle declares Applejack is her new sister, she displays these.

* [[Religion of Evil]]: Rarity is in a cult led by [[Devil in Plain Sight|Fluttershy]]. They worship "Lord Smooze", a monster from the G1 movie. Oh, and they attempted to summon him during a solar eclipse with the intention of ending the world.

** In "Pinkie's Brew" (see Lyrical Dissonance, above), her parents tell her to "please [not] bake a portal, just accept it and move on". So... [[Fridge Logic|how exactly did they anticipate that possibility?]]

*** [[A Wizard Did It|Gypsy Magic]].

** Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon also share the same voice actor.

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: {{spoiler|as of Episode 6, Pinkie's parents have come back.}}
