Mines of Dragon Mountain: Difference between revisions

[[File:doctor_whoof_2023.jpg|frame| ALLONS-Y!!!!]]

 

 

After the Doctor drops the girls off in Ponyville, it looks like things are finally getting back to normal. But then Rarity's latest client, a diamond dog mining magnate by the name of Zeitgeist Stardust, shows up to announce that he'll have to cancel his order for a new ensemble for the Grand Galloping Gala... but as compensation, he's offering Rarity and her friends a trip to the fabulous Dragon Valley Resort!

The fic can be found [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/story-mines-of-dragon-mountain.html here].

 

 

* [[A Father to His Men]]: Zeitgeist to his employees. He pays very well, has good health care and can be even a fun boss to have {{spoiler|but don't you dare to hurt or kill them or he will ''end you''}}.

** [[Captain Obvious|Celestia]], if the story that Zeitgeist told is accurate.

{{quote|'''Spike''': ''Y’know, when I heard that ‘The Demon God Tirac’ was loose I was kinda expecting something more, I dunno, sinister and menacing! I really wasn’t expecting some [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|mugging chucklehead]] crooning clichés like a Saturday morning cartoon villain!''}}

* [[Light Is Good]]: Radian, the Equine God of Energy and father of the Goddess princesses and former God of Ponykind.

* [[Magitek]]: Equestria puts [[Eberron]] to shame. Many of this inventions come from the Diamond Dogs apparently.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Tirac. He corrupted Gabbro from a young age and made him think he was stopping the Diamond Dogs from freeing the demon, when if anything the Diamond Dog's efforts were ''harming'' Tirac, and Gabbro was actually being molded into a vessel for Tirac's tyrannical will.}}.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]: that frequently overlaps with [[Magitech]].

* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: It goes with accessible Time Travel. If {{spoiler|Tirac}} hadn't gloated to the Doctor, he would have never known that he was {{spoiler|the Beast from his original Universe}} in the first place, known the source of his power, that he traveled 500,000 years in the past in the future to arrange his downfall and wouldn't have met him in the future again to tell him all of this... [[Retroactive Precognition|again]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: The Grundels from the G1 series make a return, and there's reference made to another G1 villain: {{spoiler|Tirac, from the G1 special "Rescue at Midnight Castle".}}

** There's also reference to the Minponi, a race of aliens with an accountant-monk mien who take themselves far too seriously and are prone to genocidal overreaction (much like the [[Babylon 5|Minbari]]). There's also a Centauri Republic, although the Ponyverse's version is populated by [[Meaningful Name|actual Centaurs.]]
