History Blog / ReadingRainbowverse

* ShippingGoggles: In-Universe; both various readers and the ponies in the community convinced themselves that Big Mac and Carapace's friendship was more than it seemed, which caused strife when they try to force them together. Though they ''do'' end up together later on...

** A ton of other blogs came to a party meant to comfort Bonbon after her breakup, with ''[[http://brainy-twilight.tumblr.com/ Ask Brainy Twilight]]'' hanging around and unable to return home until the Rainbowverse's Princess Celestia helped her. Since then, she has reappeared in the Rainbowverse under more controllable circumstances

* [[KickTheSonOfABitch Kick the Ritch Bitch]]: [[spoiler: Everyone agrees Golden Harvest's black eye was richly deserved after she badmouthed Carrot Top and called Derpy retarded.]]

* TriangRelations: Macintosh, Fluttershy, and Carapace were in one, mostly because what Macintosh interprets as a breaking up gesture, Fluttershy seemed to interpret as more of an "I'm still nervous but I'm okay with this" gesture.

* The47Society: The Wonderbolts belong to the 47th Special Operations Group.

* ''[[http://diamondtiarareads.tumblr.com/ Diamond Tiara]] Reads [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Dangit Grandpa]]'' (Also featuring Silver Spoon)

* ''[[http://octavia-and-vinyl-read-comics.tumblr.com/ Octavia and Vinyl]] Read Comics'' (So far, ''{{Webcomic/Jailbreak}}'' (just Octy), ''[[Webcomic/AndItDontStop And It Don't Stop]]'' (together, and including a 6-page prequel), ''Bard Quest'' (mostly together), and countless music-related videos from Youtube (usually together). Various relatives and friends have also been briefly featured.)

* ''[[http://powderfluffreadscad.tumblr.com/ Powder Fluff]] Reads [[ControlAltDelete Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' (not the same as the ''Cyberbully Fluttershy'' Powder Fluff, but acts and appears exactly like her)

''Blog/RainbowDashReadsHomestuck'' and ''{{Blog/Crystalstuck}}'' currently have separate pages. All examples pertaining to blogs that do not have an individual page should be contained below.

!!This collection of tumblr blogs contain examples of:

* ''[[http://shining-armor-reads-texts.tumblr.com/ Shining Armor]] reads weird sexts from Chrysalis'' (as well as DoctorMcNinja)

* ''[[http://flitterandcloudchaserread.tumblr.com/ Flitter and Cloudchaser]] read SluggyFreelance''

** ''Pinkie Pie reads [[Webcomic/PastelDefenderHeliotrope]]'' (A blog made specifically to confuse followers; it technically does not exist in the verse, but this version of Pinkie pesters Gilda all the time)

** ''Pinkie Pie reads [[Webcomic/UnicornJelly Pastel Defender Heliotrope]]'' (A blog made specifically to confuse followers; it technically does not exist in the verse, but this version of Pinkie pesters Gilda all the time)

** Big Mac's [[{{Angrish}} keyboard mashings]] containing references to the words of FranzKafka.

* ''[[http://sweetiebelleplays.tumblr.com/ Sweetie Belle]]'' plays games.It's an alternate timeline!adult!sweetie belle who is trying to settle in to her independent life and procrastinating with video games.

* ''[[http://sweetiebelleplays.tumblr.com/ Sweetie Belle]] plays games. (Not the same as from the Lightning Dust blog featured above) It's an alternate timeline!adult!sweetie belle who is trying to settle in to her independent life and procrastinating with video games.

** Everyone (but most often Vinyl) hides in Fluttershy's bathroom [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext for some reason.]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: ''Sonichu'' is so utterly vile, Mac blogging about it on his computer has manifested a virus that sympathizes with CWC and desperately wants to get out. However, a cursed flash drive may have been a major influence...

* AngerBornOfWorry: Octavia has called Vinyl out on the DJ's recklessness a few times, not wanting her dear friend to get hurt or to accidentally hurt others. Eventually, it leads to Vinyl admitting some of her own insecurities.

* TheAtoner: Spitfire, after realizing why she treated Lighting Dust the way she did.

* ButtMonkey: Whenever Bonbon's blog updates with an image post it usually involves her getting injured physically or emotionally. Bonbon has to date been "sucker-punched" by Rainbow Dash, fired out of a cannon at Lyra in a wedding dress, had a very public breakup with Lyra, been sawed in half and lobotomized (though those last two were later revealed to be a prank), had an intensive duel against Pinkie Pie in the Battle of the Pans, and most recently was almost killed by Gohma in a Legend Of Zelda-themed alternate dimension. Her artist has actually mentioned that s/he enjoys drawing Bonbon in peril. Several are cases of SlapstickKnowsNoGender.
** Powder Fluff as well, although she usually brings it on herself with TooDumbToLive schemes.

* CampStraight: Soarin is a bit of a goof, and he tends to accentuate his camp habits in social gatherings, including flaunting around without his uniform to prove he doesn't need one to advertise that he's a Wonderbolt. He is also married to Spitfire and is the father of Lightning Dust.
* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: It doesn't take much to push Fluttershy into her "Drunkyshy" state, and being given beverages such as Sake doesn't help.
** To be completely fair to her, though, the bottle of Sake incident is the only time we actually ''know'' how much she drunk.
** Averted with Big Macintosh, however, who says that [[TheAlcoholic three barrels of cider]] weren't enough to make him ''really'' drunk.

* ColonelBadass: Colonel Firefly, Spitfire's superior officer [[spoiler:and biological mother.]]
* CoolOldLady: Firefly, especially after [[spoiler:she revealed that she's Lightning Dust's biological grandmother.]]
** Also, Granny Smith.

* DisabledLoveInterest: Gilda is in a relationship with a mare named Galaxy, who literally has no eyes. [[spoiler:Well, ''was'' in a relationship...]]

* TheDitz: Derpy Hooves doesn't get most things, but she does try.
** Flitter, which balances out well with Cloudchaser's plainness.

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Dinky Doo]]. Also [[spoiler:Noi]], but she knows who her original mother is, and she still holds her in high regard.

* [[IHaveNoSon I (Figuratively) Have No Daughter]]: Uttered by Spitfire from the Wonderbolts blog and directed towards Lightning Dust.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Oh, Lightning Dust... poor, poor Lightning Dust...
** Similarly (though not as depressingly), Cloudchaser has issues over being almost completely unremarkable no matter what she does.

* [[INeedAFreakingDrink I Need Some Freaking Cider]]: Big Mac often has this reaction to the comic he reads, and he seems to be drinking more and more.
** TheAlcoholic: Big Mac is currently up to three whole barrels of cider, and acknowledges that it isn't healthy.

* InsecureLoveInterest: While part of the reason Lyra initially left Bonbon is due to her nature as a free spirit, Lyra was also unsure if she truly loves Bonbon, and she did not want to let her hesitation drag Bonbon down.
** Vinyl was worried that her poor impulse control would tear her and Octavia apart, and did not admit her true feelings before Octavia's LoveEpiphany because of it. Once Octavia learns this, she promises to help Vinyl deal with her problem.

* InVinoVeritas: Drunkyshy is notably more passionate and blunt then her sober counterpart. She doesn't lose her caring nature, but she does become willing to call her friends out.
* ItsAllMyFault: Spitfire, during her therapy session, when it was revealed that she accidentally [[spoiler:killed her father]].
** After Bonbon had a falling out with Lyra over the Love Potion incident, Octavia blamed herself for knowing about Lyra's plan but keeping quiet. She also felt guilt for dropping Gilda off at Zecora's house after the WildTeenParty, and considering all of her friends that were hurt in some way by these two events, she nearly broke down completely.

* TheMatchmaker: Vinyl Scratch has tried to be this, but almost always fails, most notably when she set up a date between Lightning Dust (whom Vinyl did not know was only 16) and Rainbow Dash. A drunk Fluttershy, on the other hoof, successfully hooked up Gilda with a blind mare named Galaxy.

* MistakenForRacist: Lightning Dust, after saying that only Pegasi should be allowed in the Equestrian Air Force.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Spitfire, upon realizing [[spoiler:exactly how horrible a mother she's been to Lightning Dust]].

* TheShrink: At least four different ponies have had therapy meetings with a stallion named Dream Catcher. As the audience only hears about him through his patients, it is not known what Type of therapist he is, though he is being investigated by Colonel Firefly due to an incident involving Spitfire.
