* KarmaHoudini: Played with. Taylor has a minor breakdown when she realizes that Madison Clements (one of the Three Bitches who spent upwards of 18 months torturing her) has been transformed into a cute fuzzy pony with superpowers; however, Madison views this as a horrific punishment indeed.

** [[spoiler: Madison's first thoughts about being turned into a Pegasus is that she's under this trope. She's well-aware that the closet thing she had to friends were Sophia and Emma, who she can now recognize as [[TeensAreMonsters monsters]] and has no reason not to believe that her parents will disown and send her off to at best prison or juvie and at worst, the Birdcage. Not to mention the PRT, in her mind, won't be any kinder, especially since they have Taylor.]]

* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler: Taylor finds it ''miserably'' unfair that Madison AKA one of the girls who made her life absolute hell ''for literally no more reason than because she felt entitled to do so'' gets to become a Pegasus and thus be as adorable and loveable as Taylor herself. Madison on the other hand sees this as reason for ''utter panic'' because she's completely convinced her parents will disown her and try to ship her off to somewhere like prison or the Birdcage and that Taylor ''will help make this happen''.]]

Why? Because reasons, reasons so contrived and stupid they HAD to be scripted-- by the Simurgh, or Cauldron or an author who hated our guts. We're living the Isekai dream and screwing it all up.



* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Having grabbed Dinah, Coil's mercs inform their boss and Coil collapses the other timeline. Seconds later, thanks to one of the mercs asking Dinah what the odds of someone hearing her if she called out were, Ladybird teleports into the van and starts laying a major smackdown on them. Not only can Coil not use the plan again now, like he could have if he had just waited a few more seconds but now Dinah is in the Wards and out of his reach, and his mercs are in PRT custody. Coil even lampshades how he has no one to blame but himself for counting his chickens before they hatched, much to his frustration.

Trope has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and made YMMV. Removing for not fitting the definition.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Apparently there's a lot of speculation (in universe) on PHO forums / chatrooms that Armsmaster is on the autism spectrum.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** When Brandish takes a good look at the standard Wards contract, she's fit to be tied, citing things like child labor laws and intellectual property rights just to ''start''. After all, the Wards are technically ChildSoldiers, so the PRT paying them less than fast food workers would be a major scandal, forcing the PRT to fork over what the Wards are rightfully owed.
** After [[spoiler:Madison]] becomes a Pegasus, she panics, runs away, and hides out in a cloud fort created by her magic. When Taylor finds her, [[spoiler:Madison]] expresses surprise that she's not thousands of miles away by then. Besides the fact that it was weighed down with Pegasus magic and rain, Taylor mentally notes that the windspeed is maybe three miles per hour, so she wouldn't have gotten that far even if that ''wasn't'' the case.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* GadgeteerGenius: Greg Veder was able to repair broken tinker tech. Something thought only possible by the tinker who made it. Furthermore, it was Leet's tech, which is already widely considered unreliable and all while only making very minor repairs. PRT researchers stated that if tinkers didn't exist then Greg would have been considered a prodigy. [[spoiler: It's taken UpToEleven when he triggers, and alongside a slew of Earth Pony powers,]] he gains a 'tinker' power that allows him to easily understand, repair, and even improve tinker-tech using mundane methods, materials and tech, and terminology others can understand. Meaning he can reverse engineer tinker-tech to be mass-producible... yet it also becomes averted as while he can do all this with 'others' tech, if he tries to create his 'own' tech, a description by Armsmaster of a hypothetical invention of Greg's sounded like something devised by [[BunglingInventor Bloody Stupid Johnson]].
