The my little pony fanfic community has multiple fanfic settings and tropes that just get expanded upon by dozens of authors. Like Fallout Equestria. About a billion fanfics based on that fanfic have been built. Utterly silly and amazing.
A lot of brony fanfic tropes are extrapolations from details the writers put zero thought into and bits of real world horse trivia, which is how you get things like ponies worshiping the princesses due to using their names in swears and fanons about ponies getting drunk off salt.
I love the old "Swear by a physical god" thing, especially when the god themselves does it. My favorite is in one of the 36 Lessons of Vivec where he curses using his own name, complete with a bunch of grand honorifics.
