----
== Tropes present in this work: ==
Line 10:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Pinkie Pie turns into this as Mare-Do-Well, thanks to lots of training and determination.
* [[Breather Episode]]: Chapter 9 has almost literally nothing to do with Mare-Do-Well, and instead focuses on a dare Rainbow Dash made with Pinkie to prank a long list of different characters that Rainbow has never been able to prank. In fact, if not for a brief few sentences in which Pinkie heads out as MDW again, this chapter could be an entirely separate story altogether.
** May also count as [[A Day in
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Thoroughly to Pinkie Pie in chapters 10 and 11.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Rainbow Dash has become this as of late.
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
* [[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.}}
Line 26:
* [[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
* [[For Science!]]: Dr. Caballus's modus operandi. He even [[Lampshaded Trope|lampshades]] it.
* [[Hero
* [[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
* [["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.]]
Line 45:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Pinkie does this sometimes to keep her identity a secret.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Mare-Do-Well reacts this way when {{spoiler|Mr. P transforms}}.
* [[Only Known
* [[Out of Character]]: Pinkie Pie and Mare-Do-Well are entirely different in personalities; Pinkie is [[Genki Girl|herself]] and MDW is [[The Stoic]], so the latter is this for the former.
* [[Pie in
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Dr. Caballus wasn't exactly sane from the beginning, but he at least seemed to be in control of himself. As time goes on, he goes absolutely ''insane''.
* [[Secret Identity]]: Pinkie tries to keep her alter ego as Mare-Do-Well a secret from everypony but the rest of the mane cast, which ends up causing her quite a bit of stress. {{spoiler|It decreases greatly when she reveals her secret identity to the Cakes.}}
Line 57:
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: {{spoiler|When the Game Marester beats Pinkie at jump rope, the latter then considers it "personal".}}
** 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
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: In chapter 11, it seems like Pinkie has more or less succeeded, and is going to safely escape from Dr. Caballus. {{spoiler|Except Gummy was fatally poisoned when he swallowed and spat said doctor out. The poison kicks near the exit when Dr. Caballus activates a deathtrap to finish the job.}}
