History WebAnimation / SilverQuill

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]] Silver Quill has his own headcanon about certain characters. The most brought up interpretation is Princess Cadence being an adrenaline junkie.
* {{Angrish}}: In trying to figure out how to start his ''Tanks for the Memories'' review, he tries and fails before jumbling through a bunch of noises and expressions ending with "'''Vexation'''".

** At the end of the review of "Rarity Takes Manehattan", Silver states that he can't fly because his animator is too lazy to make a flying animation for him. His collaborative review of Rainbow Falls has him attempting to fly when he sees Toon Critic has a flight animation...

** While doing a video focusing on Applejack, Silver states he will someday see her eat a strawberry after a montage of her talking about apples. Then in his review "Castle Sweet Castle" a clips show her eating strawberries on pancakes and Silver was very pleased.
* TheCameo: "After the Fact: Simple Way" as a cameo from [[Blog/AskFlufflePuff Fluffle Puff]].
** She appeared again in his "Castle Sweet Castle" review.

* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: Nightmare Night 2014 reveals that he's secretly been the Antichrist all along. Although this could be considered subverted by the fact that the whole video was a board game being played by the Cutie Mark Crusaders. In "The Shipping Game", he briefly goes into his Antichrist form, apparently dates a dragon, and seems to have arranged the show in order to bring together a lot of ponies for her to kill.]]

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: He and Voice of Reason are Realists

-->'''Silver Quill:''' 363636363636- Math is fun.

* MixAndMatchCritter: Silver Quill is a hippogriff. Part eagle, part pony in this case, as he has a Cutie Mark and is apparently cousin to griffons.

* GatlingGood: Silver plays the RED team's Heavy in the "TF2 Analysis Anarchy" videos, complete with [[ICallHerVera Sasha]].

-->'''Silver Quill:''' Okay. You're a stallion, but you're drawn like a mare, and you're a blank flank!\\

'''Silver Quill:''' Thought that would shut you up.

* RunningGag: His praising of Creator/JohnDeLancie as if he were a holy figure.

* TheChewToy: Silver Quill gets quite a bit of abuse during his analysis, [[IronButtMonkey some of which normal Hippogriffs wouldn't survive.]] To summarize, he's been: [[labelnote:Really long list]] Beaten up by his friends; Captured by the Star Spiders; Fell in a deep hole no thanks to Siri; Beaten up by [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]] and [[spoiler:Big Macintosh]]; Electrocuted several times by his producer. Each shock enough to fry a turkey, by the way; Uppercut to the moon by [[spoiler:Big Macintosh]]; Fan reactions literally blew up in his face; Had his head shoved through an accordion; An ego-meter detonated in his grip; Beaten up by [[spoiler:Apple Bloom]]; Shot out of the Party Howitzer; Tackled by [[spoiler:Fluffle Puff]]; Was in the middle of the [[spoiler:universe exploding]]; Ended up at the moon by [[spoiler:Celestia]]; Hit by a [[spoiler:Delorean]] and into a tree; Had his head shoved up a megaphone; Scorched by a flame geyser; Had a cell phone blow up in his face; Had been put through ''Film/{{Inception}}'''s [[spoiler:levels by [=GoldenFox=]]]; Was turned into a "reverse" hippogriff; Fallen from a six-story diving board into a pie pan of water; Nearly caught in a pop rocks and soda explosion; Got an arrow shot in his head; Had a hangover ''and'' a caffeine rush at the same time; Shot through the head with a javelin; Got blown up while trying to reenact the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Over 9000]] meme; Tirek squished him underneath his hoof [[spoiler: and continues to review stuck in his hoofprint]]; Nearly beaten up by an angry mob consisting of the Mane 6, the Royal Family, and Big Macintosh over all the jokes made at their expense of the series run; Tried to lift a minigun, only to fall over due to how heavy it is; Got chased and nearly killed by the BLU Team Analysts; Got beaten up by Rarity and stuffed in a suit that Silver thinks she 'made from his own tears;' Got trampled by a muffin-crazed Derpy; Ended up with a megaphone on his head (again) for disturbing Princess Twilight's sleep and making crude comments about the bags under her eyes.[[/labelnote]] Heck, his reporter title is "Universal Punching Bag"!

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: From his review of "[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendsForever Friends Forever 13]]" featuring Babs Seed and Rarity, after seeing a pony at the roller derby who happens to look like [[LoveGoddess Princess Cadence]]:

* BowelBreakingBricks / BringMyBrownPants: Seeing [[ManaDrain Lord Tirek's]] introduction caused him to literally pass a brick.

** Comes back again in his review of "For Whom The Sweetie Bell Toils" when [[spoiler:he ''finally'' gets one.]]
** While reviewing the ''Friends Forever'' with Rarity and Babs Seed, Silver Quill blows out his own D'aww Meter the same way Ink Rose blew out hers in their ''Maud Pie'' crossover. He even calls her to tell her she was right.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's admitted to not being a nice guy, but while taking advantage of the LoopholeAbuse present in "The Good, the Bad, and the Pony", he eventually gives up mid taunt because it was "so contrived".

* GoKartingWithBowser: Silver's quartet, as seen in the Filli Vanilli review, is composed of [[spoiler:King Sombra]], [[spoiler:Slendermane]], and [[spoiler:a tatzlwurm]]. With the reveal that [[spoiler: He's the Antichrist]], this actually makes a lot more sense.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: In full ''Film/{{Inception}}'' mode, courtesy of Golden Fox in their review of ''"For Whom the Sweetie Bell Toils"''.

* NoodleIncident: Apparently no one wants to learn how Silver Quill's great granddad (A chicken) ended up beer battered and ''deep fried''.

-->'''Silver Quill''': 363636363636- Math is fun.

-->'''Silver Quill''': Okay. You're a stallion, but you're drawn like a mare, and you're a blank flank!\\
'''Ride Along''': (StunnedSilence)\\
'''Silver Quill''': Thought that would shut you up.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Silver Quill is the Antichrist. Maybe. It was a game played by the CMC so probably not.]].

* StrictlyFormula: Silver points out in his "Twilight's Kingdom" review that every two-part episode has followed more-or-less the same basic premise. So much so, that [[http://mlp-silver-quill.deviantart.com/art/MLP-Two-Parter-Mad-Lib-478105130 he made a Mad Libs out of it]].
** He later points out it's been subverted in "The Cutie Map" where little if any of the premise has been used.

* WingdingEyes: Silver Quill's gone starry eyed more than once when fanboying.

Meet Silver Quill. A [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Brony]] who got started on Website/DeviantArt and then one day decided to create a Website/YouTube account to talk about the latest episodes of the show giving a comedic but also straight-to-the-point review for each one. He sometimes brings guest reviewers on to assist him in giving each episode a deconstruction, talking about what was done well, what wasn't, et cetera. His mix of thoughtful analysis and hammy humor have quickly made him one of the more popular brony analysts.

* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:Slendermane]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: With all he's been through, it turns out he's really susceptible to cuteness. [[spoiler:It's what finally kills him. [[DeathIsNotPermanent: He comes back to life by next episode]].]]
