History YMMV / SurpriseTrilogy

** If Fluttershy is already a heavy case, '''Pinkie Pie''' herself is an even ''heavier'' weight. You think her "friends" mistreating her was bad? Well, guess what: it gets even ''[[FromBadToWorse worse]]'' during the events of the next comics. To be more specific, the one who is mistreated is Pinkie, that is, one of the personalities of Pinkamena, the original pony, and this was the least bad thing that's happened to this personality. She, Pinkamena and Candy are all woobies here. Summarizing as much as possible, Pinkamena Diane Pie developed this SplitPersonality disorder [[BreakTheCutie because of a trauma she and her sister Maud suffered]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast when a serial killer had them captive when they were children]]. During this, she saw how he tortured one of his [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil "pets"]] gruesomely, the same pony she and Maud builded a connection with. The killer then forced Pinkamena to '''slay''' her. After that, she hugged her decapitated head as a TragicKeepsake. The sisters stayed in the house for at least ''two days'' before they finally escaped. Pinkamena had to be treated with a psychiatrist and was doing mostly well until years later, when the events of ''Party of One'' happened. Diagnosis made a slaughter and put the blame on her AND her "sisters", including poor Pinkamena, Candy and Pinkie, all of which have absolutely ''nothing'' to do with her killings. Pinkie (you know, [[GenkiGirl one of the most]] [[ForHappiness joyful]] [[FunPersonified and funniest personalities]]) is, for the moment, probably [[BreakTheComedian the second personality to suffer the most in the trilogy after Pinkamena]]. Besides the aformentioned bullying by her "friends", she had her '''[[AttackTheTail tail]]''' [[AttackTheTail cut out]], her hind legs broken, [[BatterUp was beaten with a bat like a piñata]] to the point of breaking '''her ribs''', [[ByTheHair her horsehair was]] '''[[{{Squick}} ripped off]]''' ''from her head'', one of the sides of her lips [[GlasgowGrin was]] '' [[GlasgowGrin sliced]]'', was temporarily '''[[WomanOnFire set on fire]]''', and ''then'' had some of Diagnosis' victims' names [[CarvedMark carved in her body with a knife]], '''while still conscious''', all during her [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing session]] by Princess Luna, the latter thinking she was the killer; '' and she stayed in that same body even when she and her "sisters" got separated by Discord''. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness She's now just as sad and worried as her other two "sisters"]]. And Candy, [[TroubledChild the more childlike of the five]], was captured by the royal guards and interrogated and '''beaten''' by Shining Armor, to the point of '''[[BloodFromTheMouth bleeding from the mouth]]'''. Thank goodness Solemn intervened in time...All in all, [[BreakTheCutie the poor three "sisters" are probably the]] '''[[BreakTheCutie most]]''' [[BreakTheCutie afflicted in the story]], and they're ''still'' running to not get captured alive or '''dead''' by the guards and Luna.

* FridgeHorror: In ''Diagnosis: Surprise'', Dr. Psyche says that Pinkamena, the original personality, is also one of the weakest of the five "sisters" (four, in that moment, because he didn't know about Diagnosis at the time), and that she lets Pinkie, one of the strongest, to take more control of her body. Pinkamena developed DID because of a trauma she and her sister Maud suffered when they were kidnapped by a serial killer in his house and witnessed a lot of horrors. Pinkie is a GenkiGirl who represents the element of Laughter and just wants everyone to be as happy as her. Pinkamena letting her take control of her body in public would mean that she doesn't want anyone else to suffer from sadness like she does because of that incident.

* TheWoobie: Being a really dark fanmade series of MLP, it's no strange there would be these ([[UpToEleven a big amount, actually]]).

* ItWasHisSled: Considering the fame of {{Fanfic/Cupcakes}} and the reputation of Pinkie having a psychotic SplitPersonality (or just being psychotic per se), the plot of the first comic, ''Party of One'', is not much of a [[{{Pun}} surprise]] when it comes to what happens next[[note]]Even the page's image shows the killings plus the two personalities in each corner[[/note]]. However, as revealed by the next two comics, there ''is'' actually a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] to this in the form of Pinkie having '''five''' personalities instead of two, and Pinkamena Diane Pie actually NOT being the evil one and instead being the '''original''' and timid one[[note]]which makes sense, considering that is actually her full name, and becomes her fun-and-parties Pinkie we all know in the show once she sees the colours of the rainbow made by one of Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainbooms[[/note]], with the GenkiGirl Pinkie Pie being an alternate personality just like the other four. The evil twisted personality takes the form of Diagnosis, [[HiddenVillain who is revealed much later in the story]].

** Poor, poor Fluttershy. Out of all her [[AdaptationalJerkass asshole "friends"]] who mistreated Pinkie, [[TokenGoodTeammate she is the only one who doesn't say anything bad to her and is even with the group when they apologize to her]]. (In other words, [[OnlySaneWoman she is the only one of the Mane Six]] to act exactly as her {{Canon}} counterpart.) She even has a sick pet to take care of, only to become one of the many victims of Diagnosis (who, let's not forget, iss in one of her '''dear friend's body'''). Even though Diagonsis doesn't try to do much with her, [[KillTheCutie Fluttershy still dies painfully and slowly]], complete with a GlasgowGrin on her face.

** While [[NiceGuy Solemn Force]] is part of the royal guards, it's said time and time again by them that he's just a [[RookieRedRanger rookie]]. Yet he sees and lives through so much suffering during the series that you can't help but feel sorry for him, especially since he's such an innocent do-gooder character. From the moment he's introduced in ''Surprise'', he's the guard who had to keep an eye on Pinkie (previously Diagnosis) from the inside of her cell... only to witness the horrendous and outright inhumane way she's being tortured by Princess Luna. He begs Luna to stop, but it's for nothing. Pinkie even tries to reach him for help, only to be stopped by Luna. The poor guy is just crying from horror. And then Luna just tells him to "man up" and to go get rid of the body when no other guard will see him[[note]][[ThrowTheDogABone Luckily, she later comes to him to apologize for her mistreatment of him]][[/note]]. And, on top of that, he then secretly discovers Pinkie is ''still alive''. And that's just the beginning. Throughout the rest of the comics, he's being indirectly threatened with death by Luna, blamed by her for not making sure Pinkie was dead, being hurt in the eye for a plan to capture Pinkie, doesn't try to hurt him anymore and even cures his eye]][[/note]], and in general puts his life in danger frequently to save his group of friends. While there are some SugarWiki/FunnyMoments coming from [[ButtMonkey him being mistaken as a casanova and once being the only one falling chin-first to the floor when Candy teleports the group to a safe place]], Solemn is a poor NiceGuy who just can't take a break, [[SelfDeprecation and even blames himself for not being as brave as other guards and considers himself unworthy as one]].

The evil twisted personality takes the form of Diagnosis, [[HiddenVillain who is revealed much later in the story]].
* FridgeBrilliance: The name of the second and third comic are ''Surpise'' and ''Diagnosis: Surprise'', as well as the trilogy in general and one of Pinkamena's personalities. "Surprise" is the name of one of the [[Characters/MyLittlePonyAndFriendsPoniesAndAllies G1 ponies]] that was the main inspiration for the creation of Pinkie Pie, as well as one of the first lines of her as a nod to said character.
* FridgeHorror: Mixed with TearJerker.

Pinkie (you know, [[GenkiGirl one of the most]] [[ForHappiness joyful]] [[FunPersonified and funniest personalities]]) is, for the moment, probably [[BreakTheComedian the second personality to suffer the most in the trilogy after Pinkamena]].

** [[spoiler: [[NiceGuy Solemn Force]]. While he's part of the royal guards, it's said time and time again by them that he's just a '''rookie'''. Yet he's seen and lived so much suffering during the series that one couldn't but just feel sorry for him, especially for such an innocent and do-gooder character. From the moment he's just being introduced in ''Surprise'', he's the guard who had to keep an eye on Pinkie (previously]] [[spoiler: Diagnosis]][[spoiler:) from the inside of her cell...only to witness [[ColdBloodedTorture the]] ''[[ColdBloodedTorture horrendous]]'' [[ColdBloodedTorture and outright]] ''[[ColdBloodedTorture inhumane]]'' [[ColdBloodedTorture way she was being tortured]] ([[{{Misblamed}} unfairly, on top of it]]) by Princess Luna, even if the latter was blinded with rage. The pain...the ''screams'' coming from her...It's not for less he had to respectfuly beg Luna to '''stop''', but it was still for nothing! Pinkie even tried to ''reach him'' for help, only to be stopped by Luna. The poor guy was just ''crying'' from psychological ''horror''. And then Luna just told him to "man up" and to go get rid of the body when no other guard would see him[[note]][[ThrowTheDogABone Luckily, she later came to him to apologize from her mistreat to him]][[/note]]. And, on top of that, he then secretly discovers Pinkie was ''still alive''. And that was just the ''beginning''.]] [[spoiler: Throught the rest of the comics, he's then being indirectly ''threatened with death'' by Luna, blamed by her for not making sure Pinkie was dead ([[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments fortunately not finding out he carried her to a safe place]]), being hurt in the eye for a plan to capture Pinkie while this being used as an excuse of her wounds being from an intense combat between them[[note]]though at least [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Luna once again came to her senses]] [[ThrowTheDogABone and didn't try to hurt him anymore and even cured his eye]][[/note]], and in general put his life in danger a lot to save his group of friends. While there were some SugarWiki/FunnyMoments coming from [[ButtMonkey him being mistaken as a cassanova and one time being the only one falling chin-first to the floor when Candy teleported the group to a safe place]], Solemn is just a poor NiceGuy who just can't take a break, [[SelfDeprecation and even blames himself for not being as brave as other guards and considers himself unworthy as one]].]]

* ItWasHisSled: Considering the fame of {{Fanfic/Cupcakes}} and the reputation of Pinkie having a psychotic SplitPersonality (or just being psychotic per se), the plot of the first comic, ''Party of One'', is not much of a [[{{Pun}} surprise]] when it comes to what happens next[[note]]Even the [[https://mobile.twitter.com/j5a4_comics/status/979216888550043648?lang=zh-Hant promotional image]] shows the killings plus the two personalities in each corner[[/note]]. However, as revealed by the next two comics, there IS actually a [[SubvertedTrope subvertion]] to this in the form of [[spoiler: Pinkie having]] '''[[spoiler: five]]''' [[spoiler: personalities instead of two, and Pinkamena Diane Pie actually NOT being the evil one and instead being the '''original''' and timid one[[note]]which makes sense, considering that is actually her full name, and becomes her fun-and-parties Pinkie we all know in the show once she saw the colours of the rainbow made by one of Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom[[/note]], with the GenkiGirl Pinkie Pie being an alternate personality just like the other]] [[spoiler: four.]] The evil twisted personality [[spoiler: takes the form of Diagnosis, who is revealed much later in the story.]]
* FridgeBrilliance: The name of the second and third comic are ''Surpise'' and ''Diagnosis: Surprise'', as well as the trilogy in general and [[spoiler: one of Pinkamena's personalities]]. "Surprise" is the name of one of the [[Characters/MyLittlePonyAndFriendsPoniesAndAllies G1 ponies]] that was the main inspiration for the creation of Pinkie Pie, as well as one of the first lines of her as a nod to said character.
* FridgeHorror: Mixed with TearJerker. [[spoiler: Dr. Psyche says in ''Diagnosis: Surprise'' that Pinkamena, the original personality, is also one of the weakest of the]] [[spoiler: five (four, in that moment, because he didn't know about the "fifth sister" at the time),]] [[spoiler: and that she lets Pinkie, one of the strongest, to take more control of her body. Pinkamena developed DID because of a trauma she and her sister Maud suffered when they were kidnapped by a serial killer in his house and witnessed a lot of horrors. Pinkie is a GenkiGirl who represents the element of Laughter and just wants everyone to be as happy as her. Pinkamena letting her take control of her body in public would mean that she doesn't want anyone else to suffer from sadness like she does because of that incident.]]

** Poor, poor Fluttershy. Out of all her [[AdaptationalJerkass asshole "friends"]] who mistreated Pinkie, [[TokenGoodTeammate she was the only one who didn't say anything bad to her and was even with the group when they apologized to her]] (in other words, [[OnlySaneWoman she was the only one of the Mane Six to act exactly as her]] {{Canon}} [[OnlySaneWoman counterpart]], including and '''especially true''' with Pinkie). She even had a sick pet to take care of, [[spoiler: only to be one of the many victims of]] [[spoiler: Diagnosis]] [[spoiler: (who, let's not forget, was in one of her '''dear friend's body'''). Even if the latter tried to not do much with her, [[KillTheCutie she still died painfully and slowly]], complete with a GlasgowGrin on her face.]]
** If Fluttershy is already a heavy case, [[spoiler: '''Pinkie Pie''' herself]] is an even ''heavier'' weight. You think [[spoiler: her "friends" mistreating her]] was bad? Well, guess what: [[spoiler: it [[FromBadToWorse gets even]] '''[[FromBadToWorse worse]]''' [[FromBadToWorse during the events of the next comics]]]]. To be more specific, [[spoiler: the one who was mistreated was Pinkie, that is, one of the ''personalities'' of '''Pinkamena''', the original pony, and this was the ''least'' bad thing this personality has had. [[UpToEleven She and the other personalities]], [[TokenEvilTeammate save for obviously]]]] [[spoiler: [[TokenEvilTeammate Diagnosis]],]] [[spoiler: [[UpToEleven are all woobies here]] (maybe even]] [[spoiler: Surprise]] [[spoiler: is a bit of this, as well, considering she was controlled by]] [[spoiler: Diagnosis,]] [[spoiler: though she's a bit of a [[PsychopathicManchild psychotic]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} to really understand what's going on). Summarizing as much as possible, Pinkamena Diane Pie developed this SplitPersonality disorder [[BreakTheCutie because of a trauma she and her sister Maud suffered]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast when a serial killer had them captive when they were children]]. During this, she saw]] [[spoiler: how he tortured one of his [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil "pets"]] gruesomely, the same pony she and Maud builded a connection with. The killer then forced Pinkamena to '''slay''' her. After that, she hugged her decapitated head as a TragicKeepsake. The sisters stayed in the house for at least ''two days'' before they finally escaped.]] [[spoiler: Pinkamena had to be treated with a psychiatrist and was doing mostly well until years later, when the events of ''Party of One'' happened.]] [[spoiler: Diagnosis]] [[spoiler: made a slaughter and put the blame on her AND her "sisters", including poor Pinkamena, Candy and Pinkie, all of which have absolutely ''nothing'' to do with her killings. Pinkie (you know, [[GenkiGirl one of the most]] [[ForHappiness joyful]] [[FunPersonified and funniest personalities]]) is, for the moment, probably [[BreakTheComedian the second personality to suffer the most in the trilogy after Pinkamena]].
