What are the common themes in MLP Dragon OC fanfics?

One common theme is the overcoming of differences. OCs often have different personalities, backgrounds or abilities, and the story focuses on how they work through these to be together. For example, a unicorn OC and a pegasus OC might have to deal with the cultural differences between their two groups.

One common theme is friendship. Just like in the main MLP FIM series, dragon - pony fanfics often explore how these two different species can form strong bonds of friendship. For example, they might help each other out in difficult situations.

Another theme is self - discovery. The dragon OC usually has to figure out who they are and what their place is in the world. They might struggle with their identity as a dragon in a pony - dominated world, and the story is about them finding their true self. This can involve learning about their powers or their heritage.

One common theme is the clash of different worlds. Since MLP is a magical, pony - filled world and The Incredibles is a super - hero - based world, fanfics often explore how these two very different settings interact. For instance, how the superpowers in The Incredibles compare to the magic in MLP.

Another theme is self - discovery. Pinkamena is a complex character, and many fanfics focus on her exploring her own identity. She might learn new things about herself, like her hidden talents or the reasons behind her sometimes - strange behavior.

One common theme is the shattering of trust. When a character betrays in MLP fanfics, it usually breaks the trust that the other characters have in them. Another theme is the resulting chaos and confusion. For example, if a main character betrays the group, it can cause problems in their plans or the general harmony of Equestria. Also, the theme of redemption often comes up. The betraying character may later try to make amends for their actions.

The theme of sacrifice for love is present too. A pony might sacrifice something important like a dream or a possession for the sake of their beloved. This adds a touch of drama and depth to the romance in the MLP fanfics. Also, the discovery of self - worth through love is another aspect. Ponies often grow as individuals as they experience love in these stories.

Friendship is also a common theme, which is very much in line with the MLP universe. Even in the presence of vampires, the fanfics often show how the characters try to maintain or build friendships. It could be a vampire making friends with ponies despite their differences, or ponies trying to befriend a vampire in order to save them from their vampiric ways. This theme of friendship often drives the plot forward and gives a positive message in these often - darker - themed fanfics.

Cultural exchange is a very common theme. For instance, the ponies might learn about Chinese calligraphy or martial arts, and in turn, they introduce their own Equestrian ways to their Chinese friends.

Friendship is also a big theme. As with the overall My Little Pony franchise, fanfics often show Tempest forming new friendships and learning the value of it. For example, she might start off as a loner but gradually open up to other ponies.
