* CallARabbitASmeerp: Besides the typical ''[[{{WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic}} Friendship is Magic]]'' conventions of "everypony," "somepony," et cetera, Scoops also seems to use "sun" in place of "god" (most commonly seen in the expression "sundamn"). A recent entry also had an utterance of "what the moon."

* CensoredForComedy: Used visually in the form of a censor bar over the f-word. All other swearing is left unbleeped or falls into CallARabbitASmeerp (see above). Whether Scoops censors himself, or the Equestrian internet has a profanity filter, we don't know.

Sliding Scale Of Antiheroes was redirected. Deleting wicks to it, Anti Hero Zero Context Examples and \"Type X\" junk


* SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes: So far Scoops seems to mostly be a Type II.

zero context examples and questionable examples for this trope are being purged. Please remember a Big Beautiful Woman a female character who is fat and portrayed as attractive. Examples must make both of those things clear.


* [[{{BigBeautifulWoman}} Big Beautiful Wo--er, Pony]]: Scoops apparently sees Mrs. Cake as one of these.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one point during the 'Drunk Arc,' Scoops is seen riding a rocket through space. No explanation is given, and he's back in his recording room in the next panel.

* ArtEvolution: Though the first few entries' depiction of Scoops fluctuates a lot (probably the author figuring out how they wanted to draw him), he was, at the beginning, generally cuter and pudgier and slightly more in line with the visuals of the show he's based in. The art's steadily been moving away from that, though some of that may be the character's declining health.

Added DiffLines:

Scoops' journalism has revealed many elements of crime in Equestria, ranging from the Equestrian mob to schoolyard hate crimes. Though the internet is less restrictive about what he can report, Scoops has knowledge of Equestrian mob overlords that he refuses to share for fear of death, though he revealed in a personal message to [[http://askdreambaker.tumblr.com Dream Baker]] [[http://askdreambaker.tumblr.com/post/14104922145/dont-worry-i-am-fine-now-i-dont-need-to-go-to that one of them is called Glitz.]] The Equestrian mob mostly deals in prostitution, Cloudsdale gang-warfare sweeps up innocent victims, a pegasus supremacy cult savagely beats unicorns, racism against donkeys is widespread and rampant, and Scoops Inkstain has only begun to divulge the shady side of Equestria to his hungry Internet readers.

Needs more trope. Always needs more trope.


%%Seriously. I'm sure the mid-life crisis guy who drinks and smokes a lot is a trope, but I can't find it.
%%Also, please feel free to add tropes to this page. I've been trying to research some tropes for it
%%but I'm not having tremendous success. I am counting on wiki magic.
