My Little Unicorn: Magic is Believing: Difference between revisions

* [[Author Avatar]]: Lightning.

** Or Grand Ruler {{spoiler|Celesto}}, whose design is directly lifted from the author's OC cosplay.

* [[Big Bad]]: Titan.

* [[Big Good]]: The Grand Ruler.

* [[Death by Origin Story]]: As we learn through flashback narration, the case for {{spoiler|Lightning's family}}. In the remake, the same goes for {{spoiler|Starla's parents}}.

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The Uniforce. A force of good only unicorns with golden horns can summon to amplify their magic by shouting that they believe. It is never explained what it really is, why only golden horned unicorns can use it and how the Grand Ruler discovered it, but it is the main attack to kill all [[Big Bad|BigBads]].

* [[Fix Fic]]: With the elements the author seeks to change being ''[[Hate Fic|absolutely everything]]''.

* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: {{spoiler|What happens to Equestria and Unicornicopia.}}

* [[Expy]]: Most of the characters. Krysta is named after the main character of [[Fern Gully]], Titan is inspired by [[Sailor Moon|Wiseman]] and [[Care Bears|No-Heart]], the Grand Ruler is a male Celestia and Inquirius is inspired by a [[Power Rangers Turbo|Zordon-replacement]].

** Heck, take a look at one of the author's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wElKlpgPGVU YouTube videos], explaining the characters. They are recolors of the original show's cast!

* [[Flanderization]]: {{spoiler|Twilight and friends are reduced to their basic personality traits. For instance, Applejack sounds like Foghorn Leghorn, because in the eyes of the author, talking with a Southern accent is all there is to her.}}

* [[Figure It Out Yourself]]: The shtick with Inquirius. All she can do is talk in questions, which gets redundant when she starts talking like that even in regular conversation. [[Power Rangers Turbo|This sounds familiar somehow...]]

* [[In Name Only]]: [[Up to Eleven]]

* [[Irony]]: The author wrote this story partly because he thinks ''FiM'' is too girly and childish and does not appeal to boys that much. His story contains effeminate characters with girlish interests, fairies, songs from children's shows like ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'' and ''[[Today's Special]]'', and fight choreography inspired by ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.

* [[Mind Screw]]: The Grand Ruler, {{spoiler|Celesto}}, is a "tri-horned [[Winged Unicorn]]." No, not a winged ''tricorn'', a [[Insistent Terminology|"tri-horned winged unicorn."]]

* [[Monster of the Week]]: Most chapters deal with the good guys blowing up Titan's recently created monster.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. The author is not afraid to proclaim how much he hates the very idea of it.

* [[The Power of Hate]]: Pretty much what gave birth to this story.

{{quote|''"I do not like FIM at all... in fact I hate it and wish it were never made... and it makes me angry with all its lies and falsehoods about friendship being magic and the true salvation. Not to mention all the horrid emotional pains it brings me. So…I create this to bash at it."''}}

* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: The appropriately named "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Rhymey]]" rhymes absolutely everything, even grunts of pain.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] and [[Averted Trope|averted]] with the Grand Ruler. While he takes constant care of the ecosystem of Unicornicopia, he does not go into battle when Titan shows up the first time, despite being the only one able to stop him.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: Titan, at least till he breaks out from his dimensional prison.

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: Titan, who killed his father for more power.

* [[Terrible Trio]]: Titan's three henchponies Mysterious, Dementia, and Rep-Stallion.

* [[The Remake]]: ''My Little Unicorn: Starfleet Magic'' is an ongoing remastered version of "My Little Unicorn." Beside minor changes regarding obvious narrative flaws, not much has really changed at all.

* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: {{spoiler|Twilight and her friends. When meeting Rhymey during his visit in Equestria, they all mistake him for a crossdressing Fluttershy. Bonus points go to Rarity, who outright states she has no problem that "she" completely transformed herself with magic into a male.}}

* [[Troll Fic]]: What many bronies think this story is. [[Poe's Law|It isn't.]]

* [[Two Girls to a Team]]: Krysta and Starla.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: By the bucketload, in-universe and from the author. [[Winged Unicorn|Winged Unicorns]] are stated to be [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|superior to pegasi and earth ponies]]. {{spoiler|The Grand Ruler later exiles everyone who ''isn't'' a [[Winged Unicorn]]. The author sees nothing wrong with this.}}

** The Grand Ruler also institutes [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|nation-wide, mandatory exercise.]]
