Ask a Pony

A disconnected collective of amateur artists and writers that are fans of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. Taking fandom into their own hands they take their own original characters or different interpretations of characters from the show and answer questions asked by internet dwellers in the Tumblr format. Some are Safe for work, some are not, some are high quality, others are funny, and some leave much to be desired. Nevertheless, they are all about pony and what the fans can do with them.

Here is a comprehensive list of every single ask a pony blog. ^{[dead link]} Enjoy, and remember, they're hit or miss.

Blog List

And here are some of the more popular blogs if you don't feel like wading through the massive list above, along with some of our personal favorites.

• Ask Octavia - Probably one of the longest-running of the blogs listed here (at over 40 pages); focuses on fan-favorite music pony Octavia. Loosely based on The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, featuring frequent appearances from DJ Pon3, Tavi's bandmates, and Pinkie (who is her cousin here).
• Ask Princess Molestia (and Gamer Luna) - If "Ask Octavia" is the longest-running blog, then this one is the most (in)famous. Run by Brony community artist superstar John Joseco, it follows the gag-a-day exploits of a very, very promiscuous, lilac-maned version of Princess Celestia. Recently, the blog has been extended to include her sister Luna, who here is a spirited gamer.
• Ask Pinkamina Diane Pie - Based on the infamous fanfic Cupcakes, this blog pretty much started the whole Grimdark Pony blog subset, which eventually grew to encompass most of the show's cast. Although it was closed down a while ago, it has been resurrected under the same name as a partial archive. NSFW.
• Ask Lil' Miss Rarity - Rarity's cat Opalescence scratches her face, and Rarity discovers her masochistic side. It doesn't get any better from there. Another one of the major influences on the grimdark Ask Pony blog subset. Very, very NSFW.
• Ask Whirly and the Night Guards - A blog featuring three very popular pegasusOCs: Whirly Willow, a Canterlot fashion designer, and Adam "Wrath" and West "Vengeance", two members of Equestria's Night Guard. At times both funny and dramatic, it tries to explain some of the intricacies of the Equestrian military structure. It also has a sort developing backstory plot. It features top-notch artwork by genius brony artist Puzzle-Of-Life (seriously, just look at that gallery).
• Ask Aquilinus: Follows the life of Aquilinus, Chief officer of Celestia's personal guard. Similar to Whirly, it is sometimes hilarious, sometimes dramatic; one day focusing on Aquilinus' exploits as a Casanova, and another giving a detailed history of the clan-oriented military, and how his family fits in.
• Ask the Night Guards/Friendship is Top Secret: A blog which features two different night guards (though with similar names: Adamant and Westwood). Unlike the above, these two are Desk Jockeys, in charge the Royal Library. They oversee classified and declassified documents alike, ranging from the mundane to Tomes of Eldritch Lore. Functions as an extended Grand Unifying Guess, attempting to unite previous generations of MLP and depicting Equestria as a world built atop the ruins of human civilization.
• Ask the Pie Sisters - Focuses on Pinkie's sisters Blinkie & Inkie, though Pinkie herself shows up quite a bit. Here Pinkie's sisters still work on their parents' rock farm and are quite friendly. Comes up with some fascinating, yet believable, answers to the functions of a rock farm.
• Ask Ruby Pinch - Berry Punch's daughter, and a contender for "Most Adorable Blog".
• Ask Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie - A very adorable, well-loved comic with a fair amount of playful, light shipping.
• Carrot Top's Garden - One of the more popular Carrot Top blogs full of your usual zany Carrot & Derpy goofiness, Carrot's attempts to outsell Applejack, and even some heartwarming fanon building.
• Ask Misty the Wonderbolt - One of the first Wonderbolts OC Stand Ins (she's the third unnamed judge that Rainbow Dash saves in "Sonic Rainboom"), has a "rack hoodie"
• Ask Echo the Wonderbolt - Another Wonderbolts OC Stand-In (this one has only made a couple of blink & you miss it moments in the show). A blind, yet very optimistic and determined Wonderbolt who uses echolocation to "see". Notable for starting & becoming popular a few days before she got named "Fleetfoot" in the show, which the blog has adopted as her surname.
• Ask Surprise - Another Wonderbolts OC Stand-In, but also the G1 pony Pinkie is based on! Imagine Pinkie Pie, but her cartoony wackiness taken to Beyond the Impossible levels (even by the standards of the show itself). That's Surprise.
• Ask The Mane Six - Human versions of the Mane Six. OK, this is shameless plug for a local troper, but Mousa The 14 gets extra points for going against the grain with his depictions like chubby Pinkie Pie.
• Ask a Bishonen Pony/My Little Bishonen - Similar to the above, but features human genderbent versions of the Mane Six.
• Ask Velvet - an OC pony that runs a lingerie store. Mostly clean, well drawn, it has all the hijinks one would expect from a pony running a lingerie store, and even some drama. Definitely one of the better OC pony blogs out there.
• Ask Twilight Sparkle Anything - Though there are many Twilight blogs worth reading, this stands a cut above the rest with its excellent pencil-drawn artwork and some deeply emotional responses (i.e. the question of what will happen to Spike when he grows up).
• Question Zecora - Maintains and even justifies Zecora's unique speech patterns.
• Ask Smarty Belle - Drawn by Megasweet (one of major artists in the pony community, and originator of the "Ponyshrug" meme), this blog depicts Sweetie Belle as a young ditz with delusions of brilliance.
• Ask Ice Pack - Despite being an ask blog about a male Zebra prostitute, this blog offers a unique experience while keeping the NSFW only implied, and hilarious 100%.
• Currently Recording / Ask DJ-P0N3 - contains frequent trade-offs with Ask Octavia, expanding on the relationship of the two characters as well as DJ-P0N3/Vinyl Scratch's personality and back story. Run by Brony celebrity artist Dreatos.
• Ask Discord Whooves - As the title says, it features Dr. Whooves (a version of 12th Doctor) as a bitter coward and shameless womanizer after his discording. Both an interesting character study and a gag-a-strip blog. One of few with an overarching plot, and excellent art to boot.
• Ask Grim Dark Big Mac - A parody of grim dark blogs, with a very adorkable Big Mac.
• Ask My Little Chubbies - Rather than being about a character, this blog is about "bwob" versions of the ponies - Super-Deformed, Up to Eleven. May cause heart attacks from adorable-ness.
• Ask Plushies - A blog featuring plushie versions of Fluttershy, Derpy, Dinky, and Applejack, as well as chubbies of Lyra and Bon-Bon and occasional guest spots from plushies of Kiki and Bun-Bun. A friendly take on "ponies in the real world" (Lyra, Bon-Bon, and Dinky all came in the mail), with frequent lampshading on their plush natures.
  • Recently, following the creator acquiring chubbies of the Mane Six and Derpy, the Chubbies have acquired their own Tumblr (containing polymer clay sculptures of said chubbies).
• Ask The Master - A companion blog to Discord Whooves, drawn by the same artist but with a different, unidentified writer, focusing on the Doctor's fellow Time Pony and greatest rival. Considerably saucier than its counterpart, its art and story are just as impressive, and its overarching plot intersects with at least 2 other blogs.
• Moonstuck - A Homestuck parody featuring Princess Woona (filly Luna) going on an epic adventure on the moon. Made by another very famous Brony artist, Egophiliac. She's the one you have to thank for the "ponies-in-socks" meme. Now has its own page!
• Ask Meanie Belle - An ask blog that parodies the common Grim Dark takes on characters in the show, by presenting Sweetie Belle trying to be mean, but isn't very good at it. Done by Femmegasm artist, Robbie Allen. Also noteworth is that unlike Femmegasm, Meanie is completely child friendly, NO MATTER WHAT SHE GETS ASKED. Leading some creative and hilarious answers (ie when asked about BDSM, Meanie Belle thought the asker was referring to a cartoon show called Beautiful Darling Super Mare).
• Ask Stalkerloo - A popular ask blog about Scootaloo being a spy/stalker. Manages to be adorable despite the concept. Worth noting as having some of the best and most beautiful artwork seen in an ask a pony blog.
• Derpy/Ditzy Q&A A non-Tumblr example, instead being a series of videos with voice overs done by Youtube user BaldDumboRat. Features a very adorable Derpy, with a few nods to other Youtube fan series Doctor Whooves and Assistant.
• Statued Discord Replies - Discord, once again stuck in a stone prison, has nothing to do but answer tumblr questions from withing the collective unconscious. Features some of the best art anywhere (by brony artist Az-pekt), a very creative writer (ArTImg), plenty of Discord-brand Surreal Humor, and has a habit of starting collaborations with other blogs without their even knowing it.
• Dan Vs. FiM - Self-explanatory. It's not run by any of the shows' artists, but it sure looks like it!
• Ask Futashy - Featuring a Futa version of Fluttershy. Despite being heavily NSFW and loaded with Fetish Fuel, it actually manages to be quite adorable.
• Ask Ipsywitch - Generally pretty innocent (If not a little dark) blog about an OC pony named Ipsywitch that recently moved to a hellish Ponyville to practice black magic. She's normally innocent and friendly, but can be rather scary and mischievous when she wants to be.
• Ask Hotblooded Pinkie Pie - featuring an extremely GAR Pinkie Pie who drinks burning beer and fistfights tornados, among many other acts of pure hotbloodedness. WHO THE HAY DO YOU THINK SHE IS?!
• Dr. Adorable's Ask-Along Blog Mixing MLP and Dr. Horrible this blog feature Fluttershy as the eponymous Dr Adorable, following her descent into evil as a result of her childhood experiences. Every bit as adorable (she even has a Ph.D.) as the name suggest.
• Ask Terry - derived from a rather absurd parody ^{[dead link]} of the (often considered badly made) official MLP:Fi M comics, where Rainbow Dash is racist, Twilight is a princess and Applejack is The Unfavorite, while Terry (actually Scootaloo) has to foil the evil plans of king Zebra (actually Zecora in Spike's hat). As the author puts it, "All the ponies are horrible. You have been warned."
• Ask Klodette - A voyeur pony who travels Equestria taking naughty pictures of everypony, including the Mane 6. Very NSFW, but adorable in a weird way.
• Ask Jappleack - A blog based on the .MOV series's Applejack character. She talks smack to the other Ask Blogs and also follows a semi-tangible connection with the .MOV series. Somewhat NSFW. It actually preceded APPLES.MOV.
• Advice Rarity/The Best Possible Blog - A departure from regular ask blogs, in that fans ask for fashion advice rather than drawn responses. Despite being a text-based blog, it manages to be very in-character and downright hilarious at times. Not to mention, the mod has clearly done their research and each answer is well thought out.
• Discorderly Conduct / A Dash Of Chaos: A recently-opened Discord blog. Has very good art, an experienced artist, and is a bit more in-character, with Discord being his funny-but-cruel-and-sociopathic self from the show. Updates are very frequent. Occasionally, other MLP villains show up, from the recent Queen Chrysalis to G1's Grogar.
• Ask Human Luna: One of the oldest of the old. Features some lovely art by the prolific Brony artist 7Nights, and seems to have an overarching plot about the origins of Nightmare Moon and Discord (of all people) trying to save Luna. Became SFW about midway through.
• Raindrops Answers: A cute blog focusing on Derpy's Palette Swap friend Raindrops. Adorable and a loaf of bread, what more can you ask for?
• Ask the Flower Trio: Focuses on Daisy, Lily, and Roseluck. Another blog with a cute artstyle, it also goes out of its way to flesh out the personalities of the Flower Trio beyond "get scared of mundane things". Rose has also grown out her mane.
• Noir Dash An AU blog focusing on humanized versions of the cast in a Film Noir setting. The story is interactive, so think Moonstuck if it took itself more seriously. Features excellent, stylized art, good writing, and Rainbow Dash as a Private Detective. What more could you want?
• Cupidite / Sorry To Burst Your Bubble: The Queen Chrysalis tumblr blog we've all been waiting for. Features some gorgeous artwork, a sort of sub-plot dealing with Chrysalis' origins ( she might be that unicorn princess of old who drank the love poison) and a frequent update schedule. Usually collaborates with Discorderly Conduct (so you know what to expect).
• Ask King Metamorphosis: An ask blog by voice actor Victor Frost of Gentlecolt Collaborations (the guy who blew you away with this), where the character responds by audio. This one features the husband of Queen Chrysalis, who is hopping on the "Ask" bandwagon in an effort to gain the favor of the peoples. His answers are sometimes short, sometimes long, but always with the appropriate mood music. As could be expected, despite starting recently he already has to deal with fangirls ^{[dead link]}.
  • On that note, there is also Ask Wild Card, an audio ask blog focusing on the titular OC and his gang of bandits the Crimson Saddles. Very well acted and written, and blends Equestria and the Wild West quite nicely. Bonus: the mod also runs another audio ask blog, Shining Armor Reports.
• Moonfall: A story and character-driven blog about the origins of Celestia and Luna. If you want to see exceptional art, an interesting Myth Arc / Origin Story, and copious amounts of baby Luna adorableness, this one's for you!
• Ask the Crusaders (Temporarily renamed Ask Sweetie Belle! (For now)) - A Cutie Mark Crusader blog that started out with the CMC making a tumblr account to earn their Cutie Marks. It features artwork that's indistinguishable from the show, and that's not even the best part.
• Hay Days / Equestrian As Apple Pie ^{[dead link]}: Recently started Granny Smith Ask blog. Since it's made by the people behind Cupidite and Discorderly Conduct, we won't even wait to see if it's good.

---

Tropes used in Ask a Pony include:

• Adorkable:
  • OC Ice Pack has his moments.
  • Let Inkie tell you about pet rocks!
  • Molestia's version of Luna. She gives heart attacks with adorableness.
• Affectionate Parody/ Crossover: Futastuck of Futashy and Homestuck.
• The Alcoholic: Ask Berry Punch is the pony epitome of this.
  • Ask Pinkamina, occasionally.
  • Ask (Cr)Applejack has developed into this.
• An Ice Person: Werelight in the Ask Twilight Sparkle/Werelight Shine blog is revealed to have these powers.
• Anything That Moves: Celestia in the Ask Molestia blog
  • Same with Dr. Whooves in the Ask Discorded Whooves blog.
    • Likewise for his rival The Master in his corresponding companion blog, if not even more so.
• Apocalypse How: Hot-Blooded Pinkie accidently destroys Equestria in a very misguided attempt to cheer up Cranky Doodle with a game of "Pin the Meteor on the Donkey". Fortunately she has a plan to fix everything, with the aid of a Delorean she borrowed from Science Woona.
• April Fools' Day: For 2012, Egophiliac celebrated by posting that Moonstuck had become too epic for her and announced a new project: Average Woona Adventures.
  • Not to mention Discorded Whooves' regeneration. Butter isn't always a good thing...
  • Ask Human Vinyl and Derpy announced an art style change. ^{[dead link]}
  • NSFW Naughty Naughty Luna became Kindly Luna.
• Art Evolution: Some of the longer lasting blogs have noticeably improved in the art department. Compare this early post ^{[dead link]} from Ask Octavia to this post 6 months later.
• Artist Allusion
  • In Ask the Pie Sisters, Blinkie mentions having a pet spider when she was younger. This is a reference to a piece of fanart Atlur did before starting the blog.
• Ascended Extra: The Ask Princess Molestia version of Luna (known as Gamer Luna) has been steadily going fromn occasional cameos to being a recurring character who shows up frequently to take her sister's place in answering questions and to deliver a regular dose of adorkable-ness. Her name is even in the title now!
• Ax Crazy: Pinkie Pie in the now dead Ask Pinkamena Diane Pie and Rarity in the currently ongoing Ask Lil' Miss Rarity and Ask Sadistic Rarity.
  • The new Miss Pinkamena that popped up to replace the old one is not quite as violent as her predecessor (she actually takes prisoners, for one thing), but she's still quite fond of her blade...
• Badass Bookworm: Daring Do answers questions when she isn't adventuring...or teaching at Pranceton University!
• Bishonen: Ask a Bishonen Pony/My Little Bishonen is this. And Fan Service.
• Boys Love Genre: Ask Hoops and Dumbell.
• Break the Cutie: The whole idea behind Miss Twilight Sparkle, a version of her that was driven to despair by the deaths and/or crazy-fication of all her friends from other blogs (Pinkamena...being Pinkamena, Fluttershy dying, Applejack falling into an alcohol-fueled depression, Lil' Miss Rarity going all crazed sado-masochist, etc...).
  • Word of God states that it might end up more along the lines of Rebuild The Cutie, depending on the direction things end up going.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Most Ask a Pony blogs seem to employ this by having the character explain why they decided to get a Tumblr. Some go the extra mile by having characters say they speak to off-screen cameras that follow them around.
  • And then there's Ask Human Vinyl and Derpy ^{[dead link]}, an Ask Blog which features Vinyl Scratch trying to figure out how she and Derpy can get more followers.
• But Your Wings Are Beautiful: Werelight Shine to hide her beast form from ^{[dead link]} her date to the prom and her hood slips off. He thinks she looks beautiful. ^{[dead link]} She's quite touched. ^{[dead link]}
• Cerebus Retcon:
  • At first, Hot-Blooded Pinkie destroying the Earth on accident is somewhat funny, given the series over the top nature. Then we see the aftermath.
  • A cross-blog example, in Discordly Conduct we find out how Discord lost one of his teeth: He went back in time for Prom and kicked his younger self, who had just been humiliated in front of his peers, in the face, in a rather hilarious and over the top fashion ^{[dead link]}. Classic Discord. Over on Cupidite, the companion Chrysalis blog, we see pre-changeling Chrysalis trying to comfort him in the aftermath.
• Character Blog: ....Kinda the point.
• Clock Punk: Clockwise Whooves. Ponies, Doctor Who, and Clock Punk in one blog! And it looks nice too.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Pinkie (usually) Screwball and Surprise, for starters. Derpy is often cast in this role as well.
  • Ask Stoned Trixie comes off as this due to...you know.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: One of Pinkamena's hobbies.
• Costume Porn: Derpy's Photo Shoot, a blog featuring Derpy as Photo Finish's new model, occasionally uses this trope.
• Creepy Child: Scootaloo from Ask Pinkamena in spades.
  • Also the one from Ask Stalkerloo, but to a much lesser extent. (Read: she's harmless.)
• Crossover: Happens quite a bit, some blogs will plan out little crossover stories or sometimes they'll just make shout outs to each other. And of course there's all the Doctor Whooves and traditional crossover blogs.
  • It has gotten to the point where it is basically a Shared Universe, which is doubly funny considering how wildly the art styles vary and how many characters have multiple blogs (which also have crossed over with one another).
  • The general opinion (postulated by various versions of Doctor Whooves) seems to be that the Ponyverse itself is shattered to pieces, containing multiple versions of the same characters. Suddenly, those scenes in the show where you see the same background pony more than once make a lot more sense.
• Cuteness Overload: Ruby Pinch and Chubbies carry the risk of causing this trope a lot. And yes, they HAVE been sued for causing heart attacks.
• Darker and Edgier: There's a Grimdark version of each of the Mane Six, and then some.
• Depraved Bisexual: Molestia will molest anypony, even her cousin, the chubbies, and own sister. Not even Daring Do, a fictional fictional character, is safe.
  • Pinkamena, Scootaloo the Sadist and Lil Miss Rarity, provided that none of them are Psycho Lesbians.
  • Both Discord Whooves and The Master also fit the bill, though the latter tends to be considerably more...forceful about it.
• Easter Egg: The Ask Loony Loona blog had a few secret messages in her posts hidden quite ingeniously. They can usually be seen by dragging the images over the black or white areas.
• Eldritch Abomination: Ask Eldritch Discord, Duh.
  • Loona from Loonadventure (formerly, Ask Loony Loona).
• Emo Teen: Rarity comes off as one in Ask Sadistic Rarity.
  • Meanie Belle pretends to be this.
  • Grim Dark Big Macintosh tries to be this, but he's really a goofy sweetheart.
  • Jappleack appears as one on an occasion.
• Fourth Wall Mail Slot
• Friendly Rivalry:
  • Carrot Top & Applejack in Carrot Top's Garden.
  • Ask Octavia says she has one with Lyra ^{[dead link]}. They once had a standing contest.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Discord, though this also seems to be the case for Tirac and Grogar.
• Gag Boobs: Became a Running Gag with Misty the Wonderbolt
  • Big Paula Red, genderbent Big Mac in Ask a Bishonen Pony. GOOD GOD!
• Handicapped Badass: Echo Fleetfoot - a blind Wonderbolt!
• Hooker with a Heart of Gold: The OC Ice Pack definitely qualifies, as evidenced by his handling of Applebloom.
• Hot-Blooded: Ask Hot Blooded Pinkie, naturally.
• Idiot Ball: In-Universe, anyone who signed up for the Vocational Death Cruise — a "cruise" with numerous mentions of death in the name, locales, and invitation, hosted by Santalestia, a Bad Santa version of Celestia who gave out lumps of foal meat instead of coal. Lampshaded by one of the Rarity blogs, which highlighted all the mentions of "death" in the invitation and declined by saying "A lady is not stupid."
• I'm A Ponytarian: Pinkamena from Ask Pinkamena
• Incest Is Relative: Molestia will not only shamelessly molest her own sister, but also tries to talk Twilight into doing it with her own brother.
• Informed Flaw : In universe example in the Discord Whooves blog: Derpy is apparently unattractive and "a fatass" but she's drawn the same as the other ponies. This is most likely just the Doctor being a Jerkass though.
• Interactive Comic: Moonstuck, drawn by the one and only Egophiliac.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Princess Molestia is a dirty, shameless pervert, but also a genuinely nice pony.
• Limited Wardrobe: Human Luna pretty much swiches between two outfits throughout the blog. This is justified however, as Luna has pretty much zero interest in fashion.
• Little Miss Badass: Ruby Pinch will be this on occasion, like so.
• Love At First Botched Stabbing: How The Master and Miss Pinkamena met.
• Mind Rape: Practically a trademark of The Master. And it frequently leads to actual rape not long after.
• Morality Pet: Sweetie Belle to Rarity in Ask Lil Miss Rarity.
• The Multiverse: Given the massive number of character blogs, multiple versions of many characters exist. Some blogs seem to interact as though they share the same universe (such as "Ask Octavia" and "Ask Vinyl Scratch"), while others will have temporary crossovers: "Ask Twilight Sparkle Anything" has met at least two alternate versions of herself, the Vocational Death Cruise has over 100 universes interacting with each other, and most of the female characters have had some kind of interaction with Discord Whooves.
  • Exempli gratia.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Hot-Blooded Pinkie's reaction to accidentally destroying the Earth.
  • The Twixie Blog has Hazel Lulamoon, Trixie's mother and the Big Bad of part three of the coinciding fanfic, having regained enough of her sanity to feel deep remorse for what she did to Trixie and that she'd become a monster.
• Mythology Gag: Discorderly Conduct made it it's thing to bring back characters out of the older-gen My Little Pony shows and integrate them into the new aesthetic. Examples include The Bushwoolies ^{[dead link]} (which Discord loathes with a passion), Tirek, frickin' Grogar and even Arabus ^{[dead link]}.
• Nice Hat: Inkie in Ask the Pie Sisters has quite the collection of these.
  • Sweetie Belle (or Meanie Belle) is Ruby Pinch's Nice Hat.
  • Discord Whooves' fedora definitely counts as well.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Hot-Blooded Pinkie's version of Pin The Tail On The Donkey didn't turn out so well.
• Nightmare Face: Loona, again.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Pinkamena.
  • A couple of the Grimdark Rarity's, as well.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: kenyru had "given" Loona a Game Boy to play with early in the Ask Loony Loona tumblr to which she would accept nothing else afterwards. This later became an important part of the blog's story.
• OC Stand-In: All the ones based on characters from the show are this really, but especially the ones based on background ponies and Wonderbolts.
• One of Us: Some of the blogs are indeed run by local tropers, like Ask the Mane Six. Also the author of Whirly & the Night Guards browses the site because in her words she's "a masochist that likes to get lost on that site" and was quite touched ^{[dead link]} when she saw the description we have for her blog. You're welcome, Puzzle!
• Only Sane Man: Spike in Ask Paranoid Twilight, Sweetie Belle in Ask Lil Miss Rarity.
• Our Werebeasts Are Different: Werelight Shine in Ask Twilight Sparkle/Werelight Shine.
• Perma-Stubble: Flutterguy in Just Ask Flutterguy.
• Rape as Drama/ Villainous Incest: From Braeburn to Applejack in the Ask Crapplejack blog. This has been shown to have possibly gone back much farther and might've contributed to her drinking problem.
• Ridiculously Cute Critters: Chubbies! Most of the blogs based on fillies are this too.
• Rule 63: Ask a Bishonen Pony/My Little Bishonen.
  • Ask King Metamorphosis was originally this but was changed to respect the universe canon.
• Running Gag: Few things are universal across these blogs, but pretty much every single one of them gets a visit from a Pony Chubby at one point or another.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: "Statued Discord Replies" has Discord answering the question from inside his statue, due to [WiFi] internet devices being set up attached to it. He almost got out once, but...
• Ship Tease: Belligerent Sexual Tension between Discord and Chrysalis was a possibility at best ^{[dead link]}, but nothing more than that. Then this was posted.
• Shown Their Work: Most of the blogs can be tied into a loose continuity with the show, but the creators of "Statued Discord Replies" have repeatedly gone the extra mile to make Discord true-to-form, including his occasional break into rhyme for some of the replies. For example, here he is lamenting on his situation to the rhythm of Portal's "Still Alive"; Someone even put those verses into a proper song.
  • Likewise, the guy behind Discord Whooves is very well-versed in Doctor Who lore, and the references can get pretty obscure.
  • Ask the Pie Sisters' author is clearly well-versed in geology.
    • After all, minerals are serious bismuth.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: In Ask the Pie Sisters, Pinkie is her usual crazy self, Inkie is an introvert Fluttershy Expy (lampshaded when it's noted the two are very good pen pals), and Blinkie is somewhere in the middle.
  • Pinkie makes frequent appearances in Ask Octavia, which plays with the "Pinkie is Octavia's sister" theory by having them be cousins instead.
• Slasher Smile: Pinkamena does this regularly.
  • "Ask Twilight Sparkle Anything" had Twilight doing this after reading Cupcakes. Hilarious in Hindsight as it was so eerily similar to Twilight's Slasher Smile in the actual show.
  • Werelight learns that she can freeze her enemies.
• The Sociopath: Pinkamena and Scootaloo.
  • Jappleack's treatment of Apple Bloom.
• Stylistic Suck: Ask Terry, a Fan Sequel to this parody comic ^{[dead link]}.
• Time Skip: Several, though it's often alluded to what happened during said skip. Examples include Adult Applebloom, Ask Captain Pipsqueak, Ask Heroic Pipsqueak & Pumpkin, and others.
• Toilet Humour: The whole point behind Sweetie Poo.
• Too Kinky to Torture: Lil' Miss Rarity.
  • Same goes for the Master-- being butchered by Miss Pinkamena is actually fun for him.
• Troll: Princess "Trollestia" and the lesser known Princess Trolluna.
• Tsundere: "Meanie" Belle.
• Unkempt Beauty: You'd think a pony stripped of their fur would not look very cute. Sweetie Belle proves you wrong.
• Valley Girl: Ask 80's Cheerilee. Like, totally!
• Villains Out Shopping: When asked about being the only male villain on the show, Ahuizotl, Grogar, and Tirek join Discord for a good game of Candy Land.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Bishonen!Applejack in Ask a Bishonen Pony.
• What Beautiful Eyes!: Both Discord Whooves and the Pie Sisters have been noted to have lovely eyes.
  • Played with when Whirly asks Statue Discord to the prom. He turns her down ^{[dead link]}, but then Whirly gives give him Puppy Dog Eyes which causes Discord to fall in love... with his own reflection in her eyes! He then asks himself our to the prom.
• The Wiki Rule: Tumblrpony Wiki.
• Yuri Genre: A lot of the blogs qualify.
