Line 34 ⟶ 30:
----
=== Tropes present in this episode ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[Absentee Actor]]: Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity are not present, although Ashleigh Ball and [[Andrea Libman]] are still present as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, respectively. This leaves [[Tabitha St. Germain]] as the only main VA absent.
Line 40 ⟶ 36:
* [[Adorkable]]: When asked to explain what an anemometer is, Twilight happily explains (in scientific jargon), before hopefully asking, "Any more questions?"
** Twilight also closes her eyes and clops her front hooves when she happily explains the anemometer. She does this every time she explains something scientific (or inviting Applejack and Rarity to a sleepover) and the gesture makes her absolutely adorable.
** Twilight's celebration dance with Spike is very adorkable. Apparently she's had ''some'' lessons since her birthday party in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[Affectionate Gesture to the Head]]: Thunderlane gets one from Cloudchaser after his first anemometer test shows off his wing power.
* [[Against the Setting Sun]]: Fluttershy's entrance to retest her wing speed after her intensive training.
Line 47 ⟶ 43:
* [[Badass Adorable]]: One of the participant in the tornado making is a little colt, Rumble.
** There's also [[Fan Nickname|Tornado Bolt]] shown just before Fluttershy's first measurement.
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: Fluttershy tries to fake sickness and a hurt wing. Unfortunately, her voice is too monotone to be convincing. Even her sneezes are [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Be Quiet Nudge|Be Quiet Slap]]: Twilight does this towards Spike when he's accidentally being insensitive towards Fluttershy.
* [[Big Yes]]
Line 55 ⟶ 51:
** And a completely serious one, with Fluttershy declaring that she ''is'' going to let her fillyhood trauma scare her away from joining the tornado.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: [[Downplayed Trope|With more emphasis on the sweet than the bitter.]] {{spoiler|The pegasi never broke the record set up by Fillydelphia, but they still succeeded in providing the water, and while Fluttershy did overcome her anxiety she still remains as a ''very'' weak flier. Her training montage raised her pitful 0.5 wing power to a measly 2.3 and even after she sheds all of her fears and gives her best, she only manages to raise it up to 5.0 wing power units, aka ''half'' the power of an average pegasus }}.
** Actually, {{spoiler|we never find out the final number. They probably didn't break 1000 but Fluttershy is shown flying ''past'' the other pegasi towards the end, so she probably managed one of her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Fluttershy, ''[[Up to Eleven|3 times]]'' (though twice it's partially self-inflicted). The poor girl just couldn't get a break the entire episode.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Fluttershy as a filly.
* [[The Cameo]]:
** Derpy is present, derped-eyes and all, throughout the entire show, including participating in generating the tornado. No surprise; she ''is'' a pegasus. Thankfully, it wasn't her fault the tornado failed the first time. <ref>Her friend Raindrops was the first to give out, followed by many others.</ref>
** The same mule from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Call Back]]:
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** As Rainbow Dash flies around and announces the meeting at the library:
{{quote|'''Rainbow Dash:''' Be cool or be mule. ''(Flies over to the same mule from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
'''Mule:''' None taken. }}
** Fluttershy's and Rainbow Dash's time at [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** Rainbow Dash coaches while wearing a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** When questioned by Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy admits that she's capable of impressive flying, {{spoiler|[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** Fluttershy's wings [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Blossomforth gets her debut in the show after making two appearances in the toy line the previous year.
* [[Character Development]]: Rainbow Dash starts off as being very aggressive when confronting Fluttershy about participating in the tornado but seems to catch herself on this before switching to a gentler approach, reflecting a greater sense of empathy and understanding in her character.
Line 115 ⟶ 111:
* [[Painting the Frost on Windows]]: Either normal water evaporation doesn't happen, or normal condensation doesn't happen, because water must be brought to the raincloud factory in liquid form. This itself requires a bare minimum of 80 pegasi with an average of 10.0 wingpower to generate a large tornado.
** It could be the needed a lot of water at that immediate time and waiting for evaporation would take too long. Gathering clouds from across Equestria instead of manufacturing and distributing them from a central location would also greatly complicate things.
* [[Performance Anxiety]]: Fluttershy is a great flyer when it's an emergency like catching falling birds [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[Power Levels]]: The anemometer readings definitely have this vibe.
* [[Playing Sick]]:
Line 150 ⟶ 146:
* [[Translator Buddy]]: Spike plays this role after the pegasi are confused by Twilight's [[Spock Speak]] explanation of the anemometer.
* [[The Walls Have Eyes]]: When Fluttershy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJWRu7QF2Hw panics], she envisions [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|a monstrous tunnel of giant, disembodied eyeballs, their collective glare uniformly fixed on her.]]
* [[When Things Spin, Science Happens]]
** Twilight's anemometer measures [[Fantastic Measurement System|wing power]] by how fast the the propeller on it moves.
** By creating the tornado's vortex, [[Shown Their Work|the pegasi are helping to draw water from the reservoir]].
