{{quote|“Humans are harsh creatures, but they have to be because their world is harsh and dangerous. Sometimes in their pursuit to survive, they cross each other, and most times they make friends and can work together, but other times it doesn’t work out and they feel that they have to fight. They are mostly good, I think, but sometimes they just plain old turn bad .... and live to cause other humans misery.”|'''Twilight Sparkle (Yellowstone Continuity)'''}}
 
A ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic, which has in turn spawned [[Recursive Fanfiction|other stories by other people, using the same setting]].
 
It is set in on Earth, in the future, where the island of Equestria has suddenly appeared. Earth is not in the greatest shape due to humanity, and the location of Equestria is pushing into Earth territory, with the magic emanating from Equestria being lethal to mankind, and in order to set things right, Princess Celestia needs to send out a powerful wave of magic that will restore the planet, but kill all of humanity. In order to help, Celestia sets up conversion bureaus all around Earth, letting the humans become ponies... though the problem here lies that the converted humans' personalities change.

{{tropelist}}
=== The fanfic shows the following tropes: ===
* [[Can't Argue with Elves|Can’t Argue with Ponies]]
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: The basic premise on the most part. It's either move away, succumb to the magic/radiation of Equestria and perish, or become a pony.
Line 18:
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: [[Word of God|Blaze states]] that he only wanted to explain why Equestria had no humans. Instead, he attracted a sizable [[Hatedom]], some [[Mad Artist|crazy authors]] and a [[Never Live It Down|permanent reputation]] as a misanthrope.
** This is probably the reason why most now [[Hand Wave]] the "no humans" by having Equestria as being on another planet with the humans serving the role as aliens or [[The Fair Folk]].
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: One of the more infamous things about this story.
* [[Les Collaborateurs]]: It's mentioned that human scientists helped develop the [[Mutagenic Goo|ponification serum.]] Additionally, the world's leaders seem to have no interest in stopping what the ponies are doing.
* [[Misanthrope Supreme]]: The ponies in general.
Line 31:
* [[Would Be Rude to Say Genocide]]: Type A.
 
=== The spinoff fanfics shows the following tropes: ===
 
 
Line 87:
* [[Heaven]]: The afterlife for ponies, where they dwell until they are reincarnated.
* [[Hobbes Was Right]]: With regards to humans, and only with regards to humans. Other species just naturally get along.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: JDR ''[[Author Appeal|loves]]'' this. Even going as far as to argue this point in the comments, sometimes in other stories.
* [[Humans Are Flawed]]: See above.
* [[Humans Are Morons]]: [[Rule of Three|Again, see above.]]
Line 117:
* [[Villain Has a Point]]: Before dying, Ralph explains what the final members of the HLF have come to believe about Celestia, the destruction of the Earth, and the true nature of Equestria. Sharptooth, the only character present that is familiar with the princess, not mentally rewired to obey her, and knowledgeable enough about the universe to make any assessment of it all ''thinks he's right.''
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: The PER.
* [[Wish Fulfillment]]: These stories reflect an inner longing of the author for all people on Earth to die - for real! As JDR once posted on her website "Equestria cannot rise from the ocean soon enough."
* [[Writer on Board]]: And how!
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]: Celestia sometimes gives mortals a glimpse of her true form when she wishes to terrify them into submission.
