History Webcomic / RogueDiamond

* BleachedUnderpants: The comic is much tamer compared to the artist's other works.

* BuxomIsBetter: Averted with Fancy Pants' Secretary, who hates all the attention her endowments bring. When Spike dares to suggest the positive side, she threatens him with a NeckLift. Applejack even comments on how the poor girl's back must hurt as a result.
-->'''Rainbow Dash''': Holy crap! That chick has bigger cans than Fluttershy!
-->'''Applejack''': Wow...I'm not sure if I should be jealous or concerned. I mean her back must be killing her.
-->'''Nihashi''': [[OnlySaneWoman Morons...I'm surrounded by morons.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: Well for starters, Celestia kills off a good chunk of equestria's population via flooding, tyrannically rules over the survivors with an iron fist, and subjects her sister to a FateWorseThanDeath. And that's all just the Prologue.

* {{Adorkable}}: When Spike meets Rarity for the first time, he obviously stars to fawn over her.

* HelloNurse:
** [[SexySecretary Fancy Pants' secretary "Nihashi".]] He invoked this concept to throw off his guests.
** Spike almost loses it when he sees Pinkie Pie wearing [[NakedApron nothing but an apron]].
** [[spoiler:A grown-up Apple Bloom immediately poses sexily the moment she meets Spike and finds him cute. For his part, Spike can’t help but check her out and blush due to how attractive she is.]]

* HandcuffedBriefcase: Spike is given one by Fancy Pants, which he's told to deliver without opening it. Spike peeks inside anyway, and finds that the briefcase contains [[spoiler:spells to firebomb the remaining pony population into oblivion]].

* MyMasterRightOrWrong: "Moonlit" a Royal guard tries to convince Celestia that perhaps Luna has really changed but once Celestia gives her orders he reluctantly stands by and does nothing as she disposes of Luna's body.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Although Pinkie Pie wears a naked apron to deal with the hot temperatures of her kitchen, she is also aware of how attractive she is and teases Spike out of amusement the moment they are alone.
** [[spoiler:Apple Bloom grows up into a very curvy gal with a love for tank tops that expose her waist and a bare shoulder, shorttails overalls cut into shorts, and a very forward personally towards guy she’s interested, like Spike.]]

* TinfoilHat: A variant, Twilight uses tin foil in her room because she believes it will help prevent Celestia from finding her, though Rarity has her doubts about it's effectiveness.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Rainbow Dash, reaches downright JerkAss levels in this story. She shows little remorse or concern in spite of the DirtyBusiness the Rogue Diamond Crew regularly have to carry out, enjoys the thrill of the hunt and often picks on Spike just for the fun of it.

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Quoted by Pinkie as she dips into her "Pinkamena" personality

* PettingZooPeople: Everyone in the comic has been scaled up to this; they all have proper hands and feet instead of four hooves.

** In the very first page of the Prologue, there are two ponies holding hands, who look very much like [[{{Naruto}} Naruto and Hinata]].
** Page 2 of the Prologue features two ponies based on [[{{Anime/Bleach}} Ruika]] and [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke]] respectively.

* [[BleachedUnderpants Bleached Cutie Marks]]: The comic is much tamer compared to the artist's other works.

** Page 8 of Chapter 1 also features two ponies based on [[{{Inuyasha}} Sango]] and [[TheWalkingDead Rick Grimes]] respectively.

* BullyingADragon: A literal example occurs when [[spoiler: Nihashi]] [[KickTheDog beats the already wounded Spike to near death]], [[PrepareToDie threatens to kill all his friends]] and [[FantasticRacism insults his species while she's at it]]. Unfortunately for her this causes [[RageBreakingPoint Spike to finally snap]].

** In Chapter 5 Spike echoes [[Fallout3 "The Preacher"]] when he screams "IT BURNS! WHY DOES IT BURN!?"

* ImmuneToBullets: Subverted with Spike, whose thick scales allow him to survive would-be fatal shots to ponies, however they still cause him pain and minor injury.

* MercyKill: "Nihashi" argues that [[spoiler: Fancy Pants' plan to KillThePoor is this, since with not enough clean water to go around, those who can't afford the water will likely die slowly of thirst anyway. Spike still things it's monstrous.]]

-->'''Twilight Sparkle''': Wow, you've gotten big Spike.
-->'''Spike''': (grins) Or maybe you've gotten smaller!

* ImmuneToBullets: Subverted with Spike, whose thick scales allow him to survive wouldbe fatal shots to ponies, however they still cause him minor damage.

* KillThePoor: [[spoiler:Fancy Pants had spells for firebombing poor people in the briefcase he attached to Spike's wrist. His hired guns say it's to save the population from themselves; Spike doesn't buy it.]]

* NoRangeLikePointBlankRange: In Chapter 7, Nihashi shoots Spike at point blank range so she can retrieve the brief case from him. Spike survives it by deflecting the shot slightly with his tail, and the rest of the damage is minimal thanks to his SuperToughness.
* NoSenseOfHumor: So when Nihashi threatens to throw Spike out the window she means every word of it.

-->'''Rainbow Dash''': [[InsaneTrollLogic It works twenty percent of the time...every time.]]
-->'''Spike''': That doesn't make any sense...

* WouldHitAGirl: Spike [[spoiler: who gives Nihashi [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt a piece of his mind]] when she tries to fire him.]] Much to the surprise of Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

** In Chapter 7 when Rainbow Dash powers up with lightning, she gains a bright aura, her hair becomes spiky, her eyes go pure white and she boasts very maniacal demeanor; which is all highly reminiscent of [[BrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan a certain Legendary Super Saiyan who often screams "Kakarot!"]]
