YMMV / The Immortal Game

• Complete Monster: Titan, once known as Order, is the despotic father of Luna, Celestia, and Terra. After temporarily defeating Discord, Titan murders his first wife, Harmony, and forces Terra to be his new wife. In the process, he inflicts the Insanity on her, turning her into a sadistic maniac who was more than willing to torture Celestia. When the creations of his wife rebelled against him, Titan warred with them until his daughters imprisoned him and Terra. Freed by General Esteem, he fought the subjects that were still loyal to his daughters and tried to force Luna to be wed to his second son, Empyrean. When Empyrean is de-powered, Titan snaps his neck before mercilessly beating the Element bearers for trying to use the Elements of Harmony against him.
• Crazy Is Cool: Aside from Pinkie Pie, there's also Sir Unimpressive:
  Sir Unimpressive: Look! A shameless distraction!
  Puppets: *look*
  Sir Unimpressive: Follow meeeeeeeee!
  Puppets: *follow*
• Cry for the Devil: Terra gets a flashback chapter that shows how she became the way she is: she had to Mercy Kill her brother/husband after Discord corrupted him, then Titan killed her mother for "betraying" him, forced her to be his new wife, and subjected her to the Insanity so that she'd become as brutal as him. It's kind of hard not to pity her after reading that.
• Fridge Horror: Twilight gained the power of Queen Harmony, becoming able to match Titan, right? And then she drains Titan dry of magical power, effectively becoming twice as powerful as him. Just think that Titan almost destroyed Equestria and was able to steamroll Princesses Celestia and Luna, both of them at once, with half the power Twilight Sparkle now possesses. Now imagine what would happen if Twilight Sparkle went rogue. There is literally nothing in Equestria, probably nothing in the universe that could contain her.
• Fridge Logic: Apparently Nihilus used an Illusion spell against Rainbow Dash. But to what purpose, considering that during the early phases of the possession Nihilus looked just like Twilight Sparkle?
• Harsher in Hindsight: Pinkie Pie knows every pony in Ponyville. Which means she knows everyone who died during Terra's attack on the town.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Months after Twilight became an alicorn in the penultimate chapter, the epilogue with her coronation was posted the same day that news broke about her becoming an alicorn princess in the season 3 finale.
• Moral Event Horizon: Assuming he hadn't crossed it before, Titan using the Insanity on Terra to force her to kill thousands of ponies and corrupt her certainly counts.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Everything that Nihilus does to Rainbow Dash. Twilight is forced to watch.
  • General Esteem. Highlights include his abuse of Rarity, holding down Twilight and forcing the Sliver into her eye and his eating habits. He has incisors. He is a freaking horse.
  • Terra torturing Celestia.
  • Titan, in general.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Pinkie's nature as an arcpony can be seen as this. While Fluttershy uses her similar status as an eraterus to pit the most powerful dragon in Equestria against Titan, in Pinkie's case it does not really serve any purpose except explaining her canon powers.
