"So yeah, I'm a human.  And now I'm a pony.  No, that's not a joke, though I would laugh if it were.  All I did was party at my place and pass out, only to wake up in Ponyville.  Now you must be thinking I had one too many, and I'm right there with you.  But no drunken hallucination lasts this long and whatever the case, The Nightmare seems to have a problem with me.  A big one.

=== This [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] [[Fanfic]] provides examples of these tropes: ===
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: "Oh, Luna. Your sadism should not be this entertaining."
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|When Firewall realizes he's about to be taken from Luna, he tries to tell her he loves her.}}
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* {{spoiler|[[Man Behind the Man|Creator Behind the Demon]]: If you thought that the Nightmare's plans seemed a bit too intricate for her shattered mind to formulate, you were right. It was all an elaborate plot by David so that he could "fix" her.}}
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Firewall, though not really a moron, does act rather [[Cloudcuckoolander|goofy]] at times, which usually annoys the ponies around him. However, don't mess with him or his friends.
** {{spoiler|Shadow Shot}} learns this the hard way.
** Even [[The Lancer|Storm]] [[Handicapped Badass|Wing]] seems somewhat afraid of him when he's mad.
** {{spoiler|The Nightmare learns how ineffective hooves are against a sleeper hold in chapter 14. Poor Applebloom.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Firewall, Luna, and Storm Wing (y'know, screw him for that) are all [[Up to Eleven|big on the snark department]]. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity tends to ensue]] [[Snark -to -Snark Combat|whenever there's dialogue between them]].
* [[Deconstruction]]: The author does some minor deconstruction on the universe with regards to canon, but will more frequently deconstruct certain elements of Fanon.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: The Nightmare is quite fond of doing this. A bit scarier than many cases in that it doesn't ''need'' anypony's help/hubris to acquire a new host.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Awesome Sky Carriage of Awesome[[TradesnarkTradesnark™|™]]
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: In chapter 10, Luna refuses Firewall's empathy after she learns of Celestia's [[Dark Secret]].
** Firewall is driven to this after he gets into a big fight with Luna leaves him distraught.
* [[Doorstopper]]: One Chapter is 43000 words/100 pages
* [[Double Take]]: Day one is chock full of 'em, as well as [[Face Palm|Facehooves]].
* [[Fantastic Nuke]]: {{spoiler|The process of destroying Inmanipulon could trigger this.}}
* [[Fighting From the Inside]]: {{spoiler|Firewall}} after being [[Demonic Possession|possessed]] by the Nightmare. Couldn't actually take back control, but sure could make getting anything done a nightmare. Apparently this wasn't possible for the Nightmare's previous hosts, and was only possible this time because {{spoiler|David himself}} had prepared said host.
** Also {{spoiler|Trixie}} to some extent. When {{spoiler|David's contract}} prevents her from acting directly against him, she {{spoiler|begins deliberately dropping clues about the identity of the saboteur.}}
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Storm Wing is a personification of this trope (screw him in his badassery), since he's blind.
* [[Heel Realization]]: {{spoiler|Trixie}} gets one in Chapter 14 and takes it very poorly.
* [[Heroic Red Ring of Death]]:
** Firewall experiences this in at least one encounter with [[The Big Bad]].
** An odd mental example. Luna breaks down entirely mentally and physically, due to having assimilated more data at one time than her brain was capable of properly processing
Line 85 ⟶ 84:
* [[Oh Crap]]: The ordinarily calm and collected {{spoiler|David}} experiences two of these in rapid succession when he realizes {{spoiler|Trixie has stolen the codex}}, and then again when {{spoiler|Firewall merges with Nightmare while David is already weakened.}}
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Part of the reason Firewall was happy enough to abandon his human name and adopt a pony one.
{{quote| Ye be crushin' me need ta be a unique snowflake, Fate!}}
* [[Original Character]]: Firewall (of course), as well as at least half of the relevant characters in the story.
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: The Nightmare
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
** Luna adds a {{spoiler|Nyan Cat}} to the night sky.
** From chapter 13:
{{quote| '''Firewall''': I need an adult!<br />
'''Luna''': (in her best gravelly voice) [[Dragon Ball Abridged|I am an adult!]] }}
** [[Fullmetal Alchemist|THIS RELAXING TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS!]]
Line 106 ⟶ 105:
** CL also seems to tease a bit for Silverheart and Storm Wing (screw him for that), particularly in the middle of the story. As of the later chapters, this relationship seems to have been put on hold in favor of Prince Storm Wing (screw him) and Fluttershy. Which is then hinted at by Firewall.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Firewall delivers these to the Nightmare on a regular basis.
* [[Snark -to -Snark Combat]]: Due to most of the main characters [[World of Snark|being snarky]], a lot of their dialogue can become this.
* [[Spit Take]]: Of all ponies, '''''Princess Celestia''''' does this around a campfire, after learning how most humans view her as a cruel tyrant. Twice, in fact, though the second time, [[Butt Monkey|Firewall]] ends up covered in cider.
* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]: {{spoiler|Is what David actually is.}}
