I just returned from my long trip and saw this thread. Now, I'm compelled to comment. Well, if I had to explain themes that I tried in all my stories, not just pony ones (which I haven’t quite finished, but will soon), I would say they are quite a few themes I like to play with. For starters, I usually give my stories a cyberpunk/Dungeon-punk/Fantastic Noir feel, though only when dealing with alternates (which I find myself using quite often). When dealing with the standard canon verse, I try to play things as straight as possible, all the while inject a few of the ideas that have come to be some of my tropes. Regardless, I do try to emulate the show's messages as best as possible. Part of the appeal is to show how worlds can start off bleak, but grow light due to the protagonist's actions. These are the themes I find myself using the most: -Alternate timelines and universes (where applicable). The grand majority of my stories in this fandom will likely deal with Alternate universes, never losing sight of the ‘true’ origin, but always showing how small events changed the world in more ways than one. -Antihero, Byronic leads, and Knights in Sour Armor; characters who, by all means, are the opposite of what the ‘hero’ is expected to be. These characters become leads either because they are compelled to act due to some ulterior motive, get dragged into the conflict unwillingly, are born with an unchangeable fate they will struggle with all their lives, or through various events find themselves charged with protecting the ‘hero’. They change and grow, and often end up better than they started, but this may not always be the case. …
