* AngstWhatAngst: Averted. The protagonist is still shown to miss his family continually throughout, and right up until the end of story, despite moving on and having adapted well to Equestrian life.

[[TakeAThirdOption Or is she doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons]]? Or is it a case of BelievingTheirOwnLies?

* RomanticPlotTumor: [[spoiler: The [[TriangRelations inclusion of Fluttershy]] into the relationship between the protagonist and Rarity was not received well by some readers, who criticised it as a needless distraction from their existing relationship, while spending most of the time not really going anywhere]]. Indeed, the author himself agrees with this assessment.

** Rarity having her work copied by an old acquaintance in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E8RarityTakesManehattan Rarity Takes Manehattan]] is quite reminiscent of how Cashmere steals Rarity's special fabric design for use in a fashion show.

** Cashmere's appearance is surprisingly similar to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Sunset Shimmer]], as [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/198034/so-i-just-saw-equestria-girls-spoilers-obviously-plus-jessica-rarity this post]] by the author points out.

* SturgeonsLaw: SecondPersonNarration? Check. Protagonist has a sexual relationship with a canon character? Check. Oh, [[WishFulfillment it's one of tho]]— wait, he actually ''has'' a backstory and characterization? They don't fall in love after a day, but actually become friends first? You actually see their relationship develop over the course of months? The characters actually act like real and well-adjusted people? Yeup, SturgeonsLaw is in full effect ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy it while it lasts.
