[[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.

While mostly SFW, there are mature themes and cussing is quite frequent, but nothing ''too'' NSFW.

!!This blog contains examples of the following tropes

* {{Archenemy}}: Green Eyes, the Pinkie from Rainbow's old universe, was set up as this, but it turned out Rainbw wasn't ''exactly'' remembering it correctly.
* {{Badass}}: Serious Rainbow herself. Kind of ''need'' to be in order to be a Serious Foundation agent.
* BrainInAJar: [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/47053796527/intregway-sr Thanks to Brainy Twilight]], Serious Rainbow has a clone that's one of these.
* 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.
* DeathIsCheap: Serious Foundation Agents have ResurrectiveImmortality, so dying isn't exactly an issue. At last count, Serious Rainbow has died 82 times. Though the first one ''was'' PlayedForDrama, since it was a KilledOffForReal in her original universe.
* 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.]]
* HappilyAdopted: Scootaloo is adopted by Serious Rainbow, and quite happy with it.
* HeelFaceTurn: Discord ended up making one at some point in the past on the [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/ Ask Serious Rainbow]] blog...somehow. [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/33126803073/i-mean-its-not-even-the-15th-yet-sr Apparently]], the Elements turned him good, something that completely confuses [[DimensionalTraveler Rainbow Dash]].
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Serious Rainbow has a [[HandCannon Desert Eagle]] forged from her original universe's (Long story short, she's a reincarnation of another Rainbow Dash killed in a different universe than the one the blog takes place in) Elements of Harmony.
* 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. [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/39435620580/entering-the-dragons-lair With a]] [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/39477748977/soundwaves-ready-to-rip-his-head-off-but-i-get sledgehammer.]] [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/post/39501936016/cool-guys-dont-look-at-explosions-serious Followed by blowing his base to kingdomcome]] and having her friend Soundwave [[ThrownOutTheAirlock throw Scream's decapitated by still functional head out the airlock.]]
* MST3KMantra: Frequently {{Invoked|Trope}}s this, even quoting the song and having 'MST3Mantra' as a [[http://askseriousrainbow.tumblr.com/tagged/mst3k%20mantra the tags for such posts.]]
* TheMultiverse: Takes this to its logical extreme by having her be in an organization guarding the multiverse. In addition, both the universe she lives in and her original universe (long story short, her Pinkie Pie went crazy and killed the group (though apparently she was at least somewhat sympathetic [[spoiler:and Rainbow's memories were screwed up and she mixed her and the ''real'' killer up]]) and she was reincarnated in another universe) have drastic differences from the show which are explicitly stated to be due to being an alternate universe (Rainbow refuses to join the Wonder Bolts, for example, due to her personal friendship with Spitfire and in her original universe was named Rainbow '''Flash'''). Oh, and somehow, the Elements [[HeelFaceTurn turned Discord good.]]
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Apparently par for course for all Serious Foundation agents, should Serious get killed, she just respawns a few seconds later.
* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:Despite originally saying it was her Pinkie that killed her in her original universe, Serious Rainbow Dash 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 Dash's memories of the event somehow confused the two and spending time with Green Eyes helped her remember what really happened.]]
* RuleOfCool: A lot of the blog runs on this, and its very much intentional.
* SeriousBusiness: Video games, though sometimes she has gotten annoyed at how seriously her followers take them.
* SliceOfLife: Despite the premise, there's a lot of this revolving around Serious Rainbow simply interacting with her friends and family, or just playing video games.
* TimeMachine: Serious Rainbow has one, it's based off the one from ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' and time travel runs on those rules here.
