History Fanfic / EquestriaAHistoryRevealed

In-universe, this historical essay is written by crazed conspiracy theorist, Loose Change, who uncovers her version of the "untold truth" of Equestria, no matter how nonsensical and absurd it may be.

This story is presented as an utterly ridiculous retelling of the entirety of Equestrian history, told from the point of view of a crazed pony historian who is arrogant, conspiracy- obsessed, and most likely just all-out insane.

* AssPull: The ending to the ((fic's version of the)) Hearth's and Hooves Day legend certainly qualifies as this, when [spoiler] a giant ponyeating dragon descends upon high and burns every pony in the kingdom.// But it's played for laughs though. Most of Loose Change's theories seem to fit into this, only occassionally having evidence [spoiler] often as a result of overanalyzing or her jumping to conclusions// to justify her claims. directly lampshaded[] when Loose Changer herself states an explanation she provided seemed rather asspullish. She doesn't fix it though.

* BlatantLies: Used numerous times in her essay, from crossing out evidence that goes against her point[cherry picking], to purposefully misciting sources *invoked by Luna and her letter to Celestia, “I HATE YOU I WANT TO SEE YOU DIE HATE, NIGHTMARE MOON LUNA”[citation needed]

* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Played straight in the essay's abstract and several times throughout the essay. Though given the essay is about conspiracy theories, it is somewhat justified. Subverted later on in the author reveals [[spoiler:she's been making up most of her essay. It's okay though, [[FalseReassurance she crossed it out.]] ]]

Department of Redundancy Department: Loose Change definitely does this a few times. A source in the bibliography is literally titled, "Redundant Things Are Redundant, and Other Truths".

This fanfiction provides examples of:

AWizardDidIt: To explain the historical issues regarding Clover the Clever and Starswirl the Bearded. Taken to a literal sense in the sense that they really were wizards.

AssPull: The ending to the ((fic's version of the)) Hearth's and Hooves Day legend certainly qualifies as this, when [spoiler] a giant ponyeating dragon descends upon high and burns every pony in the kingdom.// But it's played for laughs though. Most of Loose Change's theories seem to fit into this, only occassionally having evidence [spoiler] often as a result of overanalyzing or her jumping to conclusions// to justify her claims. directly lampshaded[] when Loose Changer herself states an explanation she provided seemed rather asspullish. She doesn't fix it though.

BlatantLies: Used numerous times in her essay, from crossing out evidence that goes against her point[cherry picking], to purposefully misciting sources *invoked by Luna and her letter to Celestia, “I HATE YOU I WANT TO SEE YOU DIE HATE, NIGHTMARE MOON LUNA”[citation needed]

CriticalResearchFailure: Loose Change in spades. The few times she does do any research, she blatantly ignores what is stated in favour of her own opinions, going as far as to cross out sections of quotes that don't agree with her view[bias steamroller]

ExtendedAnalogy: Loose Change uses this all the time to explain her theories, tying together two unrelated things and using it as proof of their relation to each other.

InsufferableGenius: Subverted in that the main character certainly sees herself as one, but she's mostly just insufferable.

NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Played straight in the essay's abstract and several times throughout the essay. Though given the essay is about conspiracy theories, it is somewhat justified. Subverted later on in the author reveals [[spoiler:she's been making up most of her essay. It's okay though[false reassurance], she crossed it out.]]

ProductPlacement: In a Stealth Pun as stealthy as getting hit by a truck, Loose Change invokes this trope with the word "Hot Topic", which is of course followed by a tiny "Buy MLP Shirts Today!" Directly referenced in the bibliography as a message paid by the Hot Topic corporation.

SkewedPriorities: The Equinus Republic demonstrates this by [spoiler] banishing all of its political critics to Tartarus, the Pit of Monsters.// Loose Change justifies their opinion by stating that they couldn't [spoiler]allow the critics to stay, or they would lower national pride.// And then what would become of all the money they poured into the Equestrian Games? Loose Change then points out that if the money on the games was wasted, it might as well been used for some stupid, like feeding the starving population[comedically missing the point]. It seems like this trope seems to fit the Equinus Republic in general, as they spent weeks debating the simple creation of a road before throwing out the case all together[democracy is flawed], while approving the abolishment of penalties for homicidal evisceration in less than an hour.

StealthPun: The author seems to love doing this even more so than the actual writers of the show. If there's a word that can be substituted for a horse pun, you can bet it'll be used. Not even the bibliography is exempt from this. The sources are chockfilled with bad puns too. Suspiciously Specific Denial: Invoked by Loose Change when she states her biography of King Sombra was not at all copied off from Ponipedia.

TheMockbuster: Talonzania's attempts to rip off "Yummy Yummy in My Tummy Tummy Books"

TheRemake: Loose Change calls Equestria under Celestia a remake, and goes into a reviewer style rant as a result of getting her analogies mixed up [sidetracked by the analogy]

ThereAreNoCoincidences: Loose Change believes this to the point of using Insane Troll Logic to justify her theories. [spoiler] In Chapter 10, Loose Change reveals that she was motivated to write this essay because she found a Celestia-shaped Dorito chip and was convinced it was a sign, invoking this trope.//

TooDumbToFool: Used to explain how the Earth Ponies didn't fall for Celestia's lies like the pegasi, because they were mostly amazed by the fact they had working outhouses. Subverted in the sense that the author plays it up as a sign of their superiority. Loose Change seems to think she subverts this trope by seeing the clues of conspiracy that she thinks Celestia hides in history. But most of the time she's just overanalyzing.

WellIntentionedExtremist: Discord is an example of such, at least according to Loose Change. Whether he actually can be seen as one is up to debate[unreliable author]
