== Tropes present in this work: ==
Line 20:
* {{spoiler|[[Contrived Coincidence]]}}: The truth behind all the pranks in Chapter 9.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In one chapter, Spike mentions preparing a gem to eat on his birthday, referring to the events of [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E10 Secret of My Excess|"Secret of My Excess"]]. Another nod to the same episode happens a couple of chapters later, when Pinkie is shown to be staying at Twilight's house until her bedroom at Sugarcube Corner is repaired from Spike's rampage.
** In the midst of a [[Villainous Breakdown]] in Chapter 12, Dr. Caballus{{spoiler|/the ponification of Pinkie Pie's Guilt}} mentions several events Pinkie Pie should still be guilty over including [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E5 Griffon the Brush Off|Pinkie's pranks]],[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E9 Bridle Gossip|thinking Zecora was an evil enchantress]], [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E14 Suited for Success|not liking her first dress and forcing Rarity to make another]], and even [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E6 The Cutie Pox|stealing/eating cornbread]]. Mentioning her breakdown and paranoia over the events of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E25 Party of One|"Party of One"]] was the last straw.
* [[Could Have Avoided This Plot]]: If only Rainbow Dash read the letter that Pinkie sent her, {{spoiler|Dash would have realized Pinkie was preparing a cake and party for the anniversary of the day she first arrived in Ponyville from Cloudsdale instead of following the prank list that Dash feared}}.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: {{spoiler|Mr. P.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death Wail]] : Pinkie Pie at the end of chapter 11.}}
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: [[Complete Monster|Dr. Caballus]]
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Bigtime.
* [[Food Fight]]: The climax of Pinkie's shattered nerves and stress in Chapter 5 becomes this. See [[Pie in The Face|below]].
* [[For Science!]]: Dr. Caballus's modus operandi. He even [[Lampshaded Trope|lampshades]] it.
* [[Hero With Bad Publicity]]: When Ponyville gets its own police department, a few of them seem to hate Mare-Do-Well's guts. Special emphasis on [[Jerkass|Captain Halberd.]]
* [[High Class Glass]]: Dr. Caballus wears a monocle on his left eye. {{spoiler|It is actually [[Hypno Trinket|a mind-control crystal]] he uses to keep his werewolf/naga slaves as well as Gummy in line.}}
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard|Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: Game Marester and her [[Loophole Abuse|loophole abuses]].
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: A variation; {{spoiler|the five remaining mane cast members enter Pinkie's mind and find her Confidence, which has become depressed due to Guilt taking over. They are forced to use this to get her back to normal.}}
* [[Imagine Spot]]: Twilight Sparkle gets one when she imagines what sort of roommate Pinkie Pie would be while considering having her move in with one of the Mane Cast because of her fears of her [[Secret Identity]] being discovered. [[Oh Crap|She quickly reconsiders it.]]
** Rainbow Dash gets continuous ones in Chapter 9 believing all the events that befall the characters who were on the list were all due to Evil!Pinkie Pie's meddling.
* [[
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Gummy in chapter 11.}}
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: The Game Marester uses this to her advantage during her challenges. {{spoiler|Mare-Do-Well beats her by using this against her, with Spike's help.}}
* [[Mama Bear]]: ''Nopony'' will stand in Pinkie's way to find Gummy.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Caballus" is another word for horse.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: We go from a [[Breather Episode]] involving Rainbow Dash being scared of a prank list in Chapter 9 {{spoiler|to Gummy and Fluttershy's kidnapping, meeting [[Evilutionary Biologist|Dr. Caballus]] who has conducted several insane biological experiments on ponies, werewolves and nagas and was serious about dissecting Fluttershy for her DNA in Chapter 10. [[Tear Jerker|Chapter 11]] [[It Got Worse|is worse]] [[Yank the
** In chapter 12, we go from {{spoiler|the mane six desperately trying to help a near-dead Pinkie Pie (a ponification of her Confidence) fight her a memory of Dr. Caballus (her Guilt)}} to {{spoiler|Dr. Caballus using his magic to make Applejack and Rainbow Dash do embarrassing dances for entertainment}}.
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Whenever Pinkie Pie has her straight mane (but not her darkened hue), she is deadly serious.
Line 55:
* [[The Voiceless]]: Mare-Do-Well never speaks. Justified, as Pinkie does this [[Invoked Trope|on purpose]] to avoid giving away her identity, due to having a very distinctive voice.
* [[Watch Out for That Tree|Watch Out for That Library!]]: With all the windows closed, Rainbow Dash makes a spectacular crash against the side of the tree {{spoiler|and inadvertently causes the accident that Rainbow Dash later [[Imagine Spot|believes was the fault of Evil!Pinkie Pie]]}}.
* [[What Do You Mean
** Captain Halberd lives and breathes this trope, ranging from his reaction to getting hit with a pie to declaring a war on crime after he was pranked with ink all over his face and uniform. {{spoiler|[[Imagine Spot|Or so Rainbow Dash thought.]] Turns out he was overreacting over a supposed stolen medal that was in his house the entire time.}}
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: The pegasus that Bigtime sends out in chapter 8 is never seen again.
* [[Yank the
