** How Darth sees his kidnapping and treatment of Diamond Tiara, and how Diamond Tiara ends up seeing it due to an illusion cast by Twilight making her think no one loved her. It's actually averted. Filthy Rich and Silver Spoon spent weeks worrying about what happened to her, and the Crusaders themselves are the ones who help Diamond Tiara recover in the end. Rather than rejoice, the school was closed for weeks since ponies feared another kidnapping.
** The destruction of Cirrus and Hilltop. The communities were both run by crooked and incompetent officials. And they also allowed the horrible injustice that was done to the remedial class pegasi just to cover it up even after having saved their lives. After learning of how immoral and racist these communities were, not only will Twilight indict the terrible community leaders, but she denied sending Crown money to rebuild the towns.
*** As for Sundae Sprinkles, the corrupt corrections official put in charge of the remedial class' punishment, and who ruined their lives for being "worthless delinquents," Artful Dodger stops just short of killing him, leaving him crippled in addition to having to face his own criminal charges.

These are pointless.


A fic based on a premise of another, the story explores the consequences of power (and pointing out what the writer considers problems with the show and other fanworks). Now has a character page under severe construction and development.

The fic got ambiguous reception. What was later revealed by WordOfGod to be signs of the protagonist's cruelty and stupidity was often interpreted as clever pragmatism and deconstruction, causing some frustration in the author and other readers. Given that cynicism is running wild these days, not all that surprising. As of Jan. 2018, the possibility of alternative interpretation remains, though later chapters may change it.

** For all the contempt he has on bronies and cosplayers who go to conventions, Ted/Darth Vulcan is very much a closet geek who is into real time strategy games and plays old school NES games (even if not quite by choice due to his allegedly cheapskate parents) and admits to being a cosplayer himself in his own mind/first person narrative, with the weak justification that he only dresses in costume for Halloween because it's "socially acceptable". The moniker of Darth Vulcan was inspired by the scene in the original ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' where Marty freaks out the 1955 version of his dad by putting on his radiation suit and claims to be [[ShoutOut "Darth Vader from the Planet Vulcan"]] in his attempt to set history straight again and get his parents together to secure his future. It goes well into hypocrite levels when some of Ted's narrative hints at being at a ''Dungeons and Dragons'' player, a geekdom sub-group who have suffered from even worse criticism, prejudice AND persecution than bronies due to lies perpetrated by MoralGuardians about players of the game being devil worshipers years ago IRL.
