** Clopfics. [[BaseBreaker Chapter 30 is pretty divisive for a lot of reasons.]]

* WildMassGuessing: Arthur does this with Celestia as he tells her about brony fandom theories about Equestria. His own is that it's an advanced theme park simulation abandoned by its old caretakers.

You know who it is; that little imp, forever sitting on one's shoulder who somehow manages [[YinYangBomb to carry both a harp and a pitchfork with equal aplomb]], and you desperately want to believe in the halo over his head [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial even though you can clearly see the wee little red horns poking out of the top of his head]]."'''
