Ditzy is a bit ditzy.ditzy.
** The prevalence of this trope is why Spike prefers to go by his pen name of "Purple Prose," as "Spike Flail" doesn't have this trope in regards to his chosen field of journalism.

Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: Pretty much all of Ponyville goes through this when Nightmare Moon casts all the foals in town into a coma. Spike gets a dose as well when Twilight, his sister/best friend, falls off a cliff in the Everfree Forest while he's unable to do anything to save her.

Added DiffLines:

* GoneHorriblyRight: How Celestia describes letting Spike publish his article on Trixie in the second grade. It was supposed to be a test of character for Trixie, who was her student in this world... except that it showed the character of ''everyone'' involved. Spike got his Cutie Mark and saved Twilight, Trixie tried to sabotage the article, and Celestia, seeing the darkness in Trixie, expelled her and revoked her status as Celestia's Student... which in her opinion was the wrong move, and not just because it prevented Celestia from having a magical champion at ready when Luna showed up again.

* CowardlyLion: Spike has ''cripplingly'' low self-esteem, so much so that he's truly frightened that his newfound companions would actually kill him if he admits that he inadvertently ensured there would be no champion to fight against Nightmare Moon. But he continues to push through his insecurities and fears to keep fighting, just because he wants to help those selfsame ponies.

* TakeThat: InUniverse, Spike's editor implies that Spike only got his cutie mark for winning a fight in kindergarten. Considering that cutie marks are the quintessential representation of what makes a pony special, that's a pretty harsh insult!

Clumsy wording


Spike (or Spike Flail, to give him his full name) is a reporter for the ''Canterlot Sun'' newspaper, looking to make a name for himself in the world of journalism. Lacking much field experience, he is given the rather routine assignment of going to Ponyville to cover the Summer Sun Celebration. But when Nightmare Moon returns after her thousand year banishment, it's up to him and five new friends - Big Macintosh, Cheerilee, Ditzy Doo, Thunderlane, and Time Turner - to find the Elements of Harmony and save Equestria.

Added DiffLines:

* [[HoistbyHisOwnPetard Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: Trixie's first attempt at revenge is to pull Spike on stage to embarrass him in her magic show. Unfortunately Rainbow Dash (and the rest of Ponyville) had already heard about what a troublemaker Trixie is. Trixie winds up being the one humiliated when Rainbow Dash calls her out on her behavior and the crowd proves to be on Spike's side.
