History Webcomic / DiamondAndDazzle

--> '''[[WordOfGod MagerBlutooth]]''': Unlike characters with magic, rich characters are generally perceived to be boring sticks in the mud by default. So we don't get to see their money used for much other than showing off the fact that they are, in fact, rich. I say we need more Scrooge [=McDucks=] from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', rather than Scrooge [=McDucks=] from Mickey's Christmas Carol. Put that money to good use.

''Diamond and Dazzle'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' {{Webcomic}} by [[http://magerblutooth.deviantart.com/ Magerblutooth]] that focuses on the day to day life of Diamond Tiara and her pet cat, Dazzle. Rather than focusing on Diamond Tiara's interactions with the CMC, ''Diamond and Dazzle'' focuses on SliceOfLife and wacky misadventures the duo have and seeks to make Diamond Tiara a more complex and likable character.

The comic can be found [[http://magerblutooth.deviantart.com/gallery/50674993/Diamond-and-Dazzle here]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Diamond and Dazzle to a degree. It could be argued the entire point of the comic is showing Diamond is actually this instead of just a {{Jerkass}}.

*** Peal proves to be this as well, showing genuine concern for Dazzle's well-being in the Sleepover arc and being moved enough by Dazzle's eventual offer of friendship to play his silly puppy games with him.

* MilesGloriosus: Dazzle's quick to rub his video game skills in Diamond's face. Put him in an actual fight though...

** Happens again in the Adventure arc, [[spoiler: when he's revealed to be the true final boss.]]

* CoolPet: Dazzle, considering what he sometimes goes through for Diamond.
** Silver Spoon has an iguana and a large puppy.
** Several of the pets from the show fall into this category as well.

* SwallowedWhole: Happens to Diamond and Dazzle via one [[BalloonFight Large Fish]] at the beginning of their Adventure arc.

** So can Diamond [[spoiler: when she's in Dazzle's body, except this results in the BalloonBelly above]].

* MysteryArc: A short one occurs after the Spoiled arc. Silver sets up a murder-mystery to cheer up Diamond.

* ReachingBetweenTheLines: The Imp is capable of doing this, though he doesn't have much luck pulling [[FatCat Peal]] through.

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Filly and Her Cat]]: Diamond Tiara's relationship with her pet cat Dazzle is what the comic revolves around.

* FatCat: Originally subverted by Dazzle, though he has gotten heavier as the series has gone on. Opal is this trope PlayedStraight. Peal is a little chubby but not especially heavy.

--> '''[[WordOfGod MagerBlutooth]]''': Unlike characters with magic, rich characters are generally perceived to be boring sticks in the mud by default. So we don't get to see their money used for much other than showing off the fact that they are, in fact, rich. I say we need more Scrooge Mc Ducks from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', rather than Scrooge Mc Ducks from Mickey's Christmas Carol. Put that money to good use.

* BigBad: The Imps, though they're rather lighthearted as far as MLP villains go.
