{{quote|''"Oh, my name is Littlepip. Go figure. I was given the name because I was the youngest and the smallest, and even my mother had the good sense not to call me “Pipsqueak.” (Not that I don’t love her, but when a filly’s cutie mark is a [[Alcoholic Parent|glass of hard apple cider...]]) Anyway, funny how names like that turn out sometimes.''

* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: The AI in {{spoiler|Stable 29}} which killed the population off slowly, trying to make up for a deteriorating water talisman, and to 'preserve pony life'.

* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Littlepip's mother.

** The Hellhounds. It's suggested a few times by Velvet Remedy that they might actually be a subversion. However, since Velvet suffers from some symptoms of [[Stupid Good]], it should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

** Chapter 42 reveals that {{spoiler|Hellhounds believe ponies are this.}}

* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: Littlepip does this by accident when wearing raider's armor, {{spoiler|causing Calamity to mistake her for one and nearly kill her}}.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]:

** Also, {{spoiler|Monterey Jack's confession and subsequent execution counts as this.}}

** And it was suggested this was the fate of {{spoiler|Fluttershy, but that was later shown to be incorrect}}.

** Doctor Glue, and he's completely unrepentant about it.

** {{spoiler|Twilight Sparkle qualifies as well. While she had very good intentions, she left a lot of collateral damage in her wake, to the point that Spike feels the need to preemptively defend her to Littlepip}}.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: As in MLP.

** Littlepip: Diminutive, and a PipBuck technician.

* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Monterey Jack. By his admission of banditry, and subsequent execution, he forces the responsibility of his children's fate onto the now guilt-ridden Littlepip}}.

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Red Eye poked around a little in confidential Enclave secrets. As a result, the Enclave finally descend and launch a full-scale military invasion to kill Red Eye and anyone else who might also have the information. And since they can't be certain how many people know the information, best to destroy entire cities just to be safe. [[Batman Gambit|This may have been Red Eye's plan all along,]] as their overreaction is destroying the Enclave's claims to be Equestria's saviors.}}

** Pinkie Pie's memory orbs where she addresses Littlepip come close.

* [[Title Drop]]: The epilogue's subtitle is 'Of Forgiveness and Fallout.'

** {{spoiler|Though it's later revealed that Pinkie did act on this knowledge, creating a [[Stable Time Loop]].}}

* [[You Will Be Assimilated]]: The alicorns and the Goddess.

** Scootaloo first uses the phrase to describe her decision to seal the Manehattan Stable before the apocalypse actually happens. If the end doesn't come, everyone will think she imprisoned hundreds of ponies on a whim. {{spoiler|Since it was her idea to run 'experiments' on the Stables before the bombs dropped, public approval wasn't much of an objective. When the bombs ''do'' drop, however, it's a happy coincidence that the Stables were already occupied.}}

** {{spoiler|Littlepip}} ultimately makes a similar decision. {{spoiler|To heal the wasteland, the cloud cover must break, which means destroying pegasus agriculture. Like Scootaloo, Littlepip is forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.}}
