Probably not much darker than LotR or Harry Potter. It's got war with everything that means (ponies getting hurt and such, big meaningful struggles with real consequences), but aside from that it's just a regular heroic romantic tale. Certainly not grimdark or Cupcakes or anything.

I've always found it curious that people who probably have no problem with LotR or Harry Potter claim to not like similar stories just because it involves ponies. Is it because "Dark" makes it sound worse than it probably is? Would "Suspense" or something else work better as a tag?

Or is it really because stories about ponies can't have anyone getting hurt or even dying? Are we limited to fights where the enemies are only stunned or knocked out? I mean, that's fine for the show, but I like to think you can write a good story about ponies with a little more edge, maturity and darkness, certainly without it becoming Cupcakes.
