2A Blog/AskAPony blog, ''[[http://highschool-cadance.tumblr.com Ask High School Cadance]]'' depicts a younger Princess Cadance as she responds to reader questions while dealing with [[HighSchoolAU Equestria High School]] and her not-so-secret crush on Shining Armor. Recognized for its high quality art work and cute interpretation of the character, the blog is rapidly gaining a following in the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fandom.

4!!This blog has examples of:
5
6* {{Animesque}}: Borrows heavily from the conventions of {{shojo}} manga.
7* BigManOnCampus: Shining Armor, as implied by his conversation with Neon Shine and how his desk is overflowing with presents from his fangirls.
8* BromanticFoil: Neon for Shining.
9* CuteBookworm: Cadance's first bit of dialogue depicts her rummaging through her textbooks.
10* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Shining Armor briefly passes out from overexerting his magic right before he and Cadance ended up [[LockedInARoom trapped in a closet together]] during Hearts and Hooves Day. Several readers urge Cadance to take this opportunity to kiss him, and she nearly follows through before her conscience (along with a few other readers) reminds her that taking advantage of Shining Armor that way would be wrong.
11* EverybodyKnewAlready: Her poor attempts at hiding her crush on Shining Armor. After freaking out and some badgering from the readers, she admits it openly.
12* EveryoneChasingYou: Shining Armor spends most of Hearts and Hooves Day being chased by a mob of fangirls. In fact, this seems to happen to him quite frequently no matter what day it is.
13* {{Foil}}: Neon Shine's design and characterization serve as a contrast to Shining Armor. His coat is darker, eyes are lighter, and is a bit of a DeadpanSnarker.
14* HighSchoolAU: This takes place during the time in which Cadance is Twilight Sparkle's foalsitter.
15* HighSchoolSweethearts: They're still only classmates, but anyone that knows who they are know that Cadance and Shining Armor will end up like this.
16* InSeriesNickname: As in canon, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza prefers to be called Cadance, but her friend Millie Pan likes calling her "Mia".
17* LovableJock: Shining Armor.
18* LuminescentBlush: Cadance gets ''really'' flustered at anything relating to Shining.
19* MrFanservice: Shining Armor has such a huge female following that he resorts to either running away from them or using Neon as a decoy.
20* NervousWreck: She has some rather...extreme reactions to anything involving Shining Armor.
21* NoFourthWall: Cadance responds to readers' questions and statements in each entry.
22* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Shining gets a ''little'' too close for Cadance's comfort.
23* ObliviousToLove: Shining, though it may be because he's too used to dealing with rabid fangirls to realize Cadance's affection.
24* ShipperOnDeck: [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/fe13eeeb212b9f7535c9d8620d9b72c5/tumblr_mftyehg1B61rmr8ago6_r1_1280.png Neon isn't nearly as oblivious as Shining.]]
25* ShrinkingViolet: So much so that she panics and runs away from Shining when they come across each other in the hall.
26* ShyBlueHairedGirl: More like violet, rose, and gold.
27* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: Pretty much the premise thus far in a nutshell.
28* [[SociallyAwkwardHero Socially Awkward Heroine]]: Cadance.
29* StuffedIntoALocker: One reader jokingly suggested it as a means of escape from an awkward encounter with Shining. Cadance quickly points out that she wouldn't be able to fit in one.
