History Blog / AskSeriousRainbow

* TimeMachine: Serious Rainbow has one, it's based off the one from ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' and time travel runs on those rules here.

* BerserkButton: Threatening her family is a big one. Trying to steal her TragicKeepsake hat is another, as is insulting old gen games she enjoys. Mentioning Gilda is another. [[spoiler: She eventually gets over the latter one after finding out ''why'' Gilda did what she did.]]
** Stealing people's Cutie Marks, on account of [[spoiler: her Twilight from her original world slicing off her and two of her friends' Cutie Marks]] leaving her with deep loathing of those who do it. It's why Tirek and [[spoiler: Moon]]light Glimmer are both dead.
** [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/116332372237/by-this-point-its-just-become-a-berzerk-button "Why So Serious?" as a question,]] simply because of the number of times she's gotten it.
** The "Fall of Equestria" universe. She states that the only reason she hasn't nuked that universe from existence is because she's not allowed to.

* CosmicRetcon: The universe Serious Rainbow lives in is actually an alternate version of it she was reborn into by "the big guy upstairs" after the original universe ended in a KillEmAll.

* FingerlessHands: [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/34330739438/this-is-the-only-time-im-going-to-even-reference Referenced by name.]] [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/53517843290/i-answered-this-back-in-october-i-think-but Twice.]]

* MST3KMantra: Frequently {{Invoked|Trope}}s this, even quoting the song and having 'MST3KMantra' as [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/tagged/mst3k%20mantra the tags for such posts.]]

->''Serious:''' "[[spoiler: I demonized the wrong fucking pony!]]"
** Later, combined with WhamShot:
->[[spoiler: '''Starlight:''']]: Like I told Twilight, you killed my black sheep twin sister, [[spoiler: Moonlight Glimmer.]]

** Serious herself is on pretty good terms with her ex Twilight (in fact she claims they had break-up sex before actually breaking up), and after finding out the circumstances behind their breaking up she's gotten on good terms with [[spoiler: Gilda]].

** Stealing people's Cutie Marks, on account of [[spoiler:her Twilight from her original world slicing off her and two of her friends Cutie Marks]] leaving her with deep loathing of those who do it. It's why Tirek and [[spoiler: Moon]]light Glimmer are both dead.

* BullyingADragon: Serious Rainbow's profession involves traveling to alternate universes, a ''huge'' arsenal of deadly weapons, and generally being a total badass. A Starscream blog decided [[MamaBear threatening her adopted daughter and girlfriend]] [[TooDumbToLive was a good idea.]] See 'MamaBear' for how well that turned out.
* CosmicRetcon: The universe Serious Rainbow lives in is actually an alternate version of it she was reborn into by 'the big guy upstairs' after the original universe ended in a KillEmAll.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Serious in her original universe. It led to her being reincarnated in the Seriousverse.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Twilight]] in Serious Rainbow's [[spoiler:original universe. Originally, she'd said it was their Pinkie (Green Eyes), but it turned out her memories were just messed up to the point she confused the two until Green Eyes pointed it out.]]

*** Then she finds out [[spoiler: [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/142471490217/for-the-record-flutters-is-wearing-a it was actually Starlight's twin sister Moonlight Glimmer.]]]] She's ''not happy'' with the 'bullshit retcon'.

* MamaBear: Serious is Scootaloo's adopted mother. Her profession is basically 'interdimensional secret agent'. An [[http://justaskstarscream.tumblr.com/ alternate Starscream]] decided it'd be a bright idea to [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/39007912133/let-it-be-known-here-and-now-i-starscream-the threaten to kill Scootaloo and Rainbow's girlfriend Applejack]] (and take over the multiverse, but those two were the reasons Rainbow was out for Starscream's energon). The resulting battle (sadly composed of almost nothing but text posts, as the Starscream blog is mainly text based) ends with Serious Rainbow going on a FoeTossingCharge through Starscream's army on a remote controlled drone. Serious' then took her revenge.

* MercyKill: [[spoiler:The real reason Green Eyes killed Serious, as Serious didn't want a lingering death after Twilight attacked her, leaving her to bleed to death.]]

* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:Despite originally saying it was her Pinkie that killed her in her original universe, Serious Rainbow eventually reveals it was her ''Twilight'' that did it. Said Pinkie (nicknamed Green Eyes) lampshades this by saying the original story guide said she was the villain and they're not following it anymore. Also explained inuniverse in that Rainbow's memories of the event somehow confused the two and spending time with Green Eyes helped her remember what really happened.]]

* {{Cosplay}}: Serious has been known to cosplay as many different characters and people, such as Otra from ''{{Girly}}'' and [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} Jim Sterling]], among others.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Serious in her original universe. It led to her being reincarnated in the Seriousverse.]]

* {{Badass}}: Serious Rainbow herself. Kind of ''need'' to be in order to be a Serious Foundation agent.

* BullyingADragon: Serious Rainbow's profession involves traveling to alternate universes, a ''huge'' arsenal of deadly weapons, and generally being a total {{Badass}}. A Starscream blog decided [[MamaBear threatening her adopted daughter and girlfriend]] [[TooDumbToLive was a good idea.]] See 'MamaBear' for how well that turned out.

** When the Dashpad crossed over with A Touch of Diamonds (the Rarity crossover blog), Serious brought $400,000 in cash to cover any damages Epic Dash might cause.

* BookDumb: Serious flat out refers to canon Rainbow Dash as this after seeing "Tanks for the Memories".

* [[spoiler: MercyKill: The real reason Green Eyes killed Serious, as Serious didn't want a lingering death after Twilight attacked her, leaving her to bleed to death.]]

* BerserkButton: Threatening her family is a big one. Trying to steal her TragicKeepsake hat is another, as is insulting old gen games she enjoys. Mentioning Gilda is another.

** She isn't fond of actual cheaters either, as she and AJ are open and honest with each other. [[spoiler:[[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/89917481902/and-before-you-go-but-aj-and-you-have-an-open Apparently, Gilda cheated on Serious]] at some point and that's why she hates her so much.]]

[[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/ Ask Serious Rainbow]] is an AskAPony Blog staring Serious Rainbow, a version of Rainbow Dash that adopted Scootaloo and entered a relationship with Applejack. Oh, and she's also a member of the Serious Foundation, a group dedicated to the protection of the multiverse. And she's good at it.
