A crew member aboard the Luxe Deluxe and Rarity's love interest.


  • Fake Brit: In-universe. Ragamuffin's last spoken line reveals that his strong accent was just an affectation.
  • Love Interest: For Rarity. They have an Almost Kiss moment before to be interrupted by Rainbow Dash.
  • Rule 63: He looks suspiciously like a male version of Applejack. It doesn't help that Applejack and Ragamuffin were standing next to each other when he meets the Rainbooms to emphasize how similar they look and the Rainbooms couldn't ignore the resemblance.
  • Shout-Out: His backstory is based on Billy Elliot.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Characters

  • Gag Nose: Downplayed. While Rudolph's red nose isn't comically large. The original book's text described the size of his red nose as "It's red as a beet! Twice as big! Twice as bright!". His standard design between 1939 till 1964 note  kept his red nose being big. The 1964 Rankin-Bass special, made his red nose smaller. None Rankin/Bass adaptations, such as the 1948 short film, the 1998 feature film, and the 1996 Montgomery Ward adaptation, all retained the original size of his red nose sticking closer to Denver Gillen's original design for him.

  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: In Diana Magnuson's illustrations, of the story. Rudolph along with the other reindeer are seen wearing hats, coats, and scarves.

  • Non-Mammalian Hair: Rudolph is depicted with hair in the 1982 version of Rudolph Shines Again where his hair is the same color as his fur. While he has blonde hair in the 1998 movie by GoodTimes Entertainment.

  • Tender Tears: Rudolph is seen crying in the 1948 cartoon by Max Fleischer after getting made fun by the other reindeer. He is later seen crying himself to sleep on Christmas Eve before Santa stops by his home.

It would be a lot easier for me to proofread your posts if you would collect them into one big post. It would also take up less space on the page.

Your use of a dash instead of a colon is rather odd looking, and you don't have a space between the word and the dash, which is incorrect. I will therefore be either deleting dashes (where they're unnecessary) or changing them to colons.

Changed verbs from past to present tense as per How to Write an Example - Write in Historical Present Tense.

These two parts of the sentence contradict each other, but I can't tell what you meant to write.

It could be:

some tropes for

Impel down Staff

  • Authority Equals Asskicking: As with every organization in One Piece, the higher the rank of a guard, the stronger they are. The nameless mooks are all beaten easily by Luffy, while the warden, Magellan, is too strong to be defeated by him despite the help of other escaped prisoners. The vice-warden, Hannyabal, is also a very competent fighter, despite lacking any devil fruit ability. This gets subverted after Magellan gets demoted while Hannyabal becomes the new warden.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: While the torture they inflict on the prisoners is horrifying, said prisoners are all wanted criminals who have probably committed heinous crimes.

for the prisoners

[[folder:Impel Down Prisoners]]

  • Asshole Victim: They suffer many kinds of torture in prison, which become progressively worse for every level, and all of them lead to an unpleasant death. However, if they are in prison it means they must have committed serious crimes.
  • Break the Haughty: Many have had their spirits broken by the terrible tortures they've been forced to endure, and used to be criminals in the past.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: It doesn't matter on which level the prisoner goes, he or she will suffer a terrible death, be it by blood loss, being Eaten Alive by monsters, starved in a desert, boiled alive, frozen or by pure boredom.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: The prisoners in level 5 suffer a slow and painful version of this. The temperature is so low, they suffer from frostbite and their bodies slowly fall apart.
  • Stewed Alive: Prisoners in level 4 are forced to carry giant logs to keep the flames of the boiling blood pool going, but some end up falling in said boiling blood.

EDIT: CORRECTED

description and general tropes for Duke Dogstorm and Catviper:

(The An Arm and a Leg, Fantastic Racism and Handicapped Badass entries reference a flashback, which is therefore set in the past)

Minks have two rulers, Duke Dogstorm and Boss Catviper who rule at different times because they can't stand eachother, with Dogstorm ruling during the day and Catviper during the night. They have vastly different personalities, Dogstorm is calm and composed while Catviper is wild and boastful.

[[folder:Tropes pertaining both of them]]

  • An Arm and a Leg: After being defeated by Jack, they were tortured to confess where Raizo was. They endured it and did not sell out their friend, but during the torture the Beast Pirates cut off Dogstorm's leg and part of Catviper's left arm.
  • Animal Jingoism: Dogstorm and Catviper are, respectively, a dog mink and a cat mink, and they hate each other just like the classical cat-dog rivalry.
  • Authority Equals Asskicking: They are the strongest warriors of Zou, able to fight on par with an Emperor's executive, and are the two rulers.
  • Dub Name Change: Their names are translated, going from Inuarashi to Dogstorm and from Nekomamushi to Catviper. Possibly because in modern Japanese, animal names are often written in katakana rather than use kanji, justifying the translation.
  • Fantastic Racism: They've been victims of discrimination as kids in the isolationist Wano Country because its inhabitants didn't know what a mink was. Only Oden accepted them.
  • Handicapped Badass: Even without a leg or an arm, they are still the two strongest minks. Catviper even forced Capone to give up everything and run instead of fighting him.
  • Large and in Charge: They are the rulers of the Mink tribes and tower over most minks being over 3 meters tall.
  • One Degree of Separation: They personally know Shanks, because they traveled with Roger's crew alongside Momonosuke's father Oden for a while, which means they also know Buggy, Rayleigh and Crocus. They also know Whitebeard's crew, as they had been traveling with them until Roger sought Oden out.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Catviper is the red while Dogstorm is the blue. Catviper is aggressive, energetic, boasts proudly of his status and, if he doesn't like it, disobeys every order, while Dogstorm prefers diplomacy to violence and is humble, polite and softspoken.
  • Undying Loyalty: They are loyal to Kozuki Oden and his family and are even members of his personal samurai squad. Their loyalty to the Kozuku clan is even stronger than their hate for each other, to the point they become friends again so as to not upset Momonosuke.
  • Volleying Insults: Whenever they meet each other by chance, the two will quickly exchange insults, usually before trying to off each other.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Dogstorm and Catviper can't stand each other, a fact that forces the two to rule at different times, but the other minks comment that they were good friends in the past, until they left for a journey and came back at each other's throats. They later decide to call a temporary truce so that their master Momonosuke won't be upset and their subjects all rejoice about this. Later, after reminiscing on their past, Dogstorm and Cat Viper become friends again.

#6600: Oct 21st 2019 at 12:30:22 PM

Hello! I intend to create a new page, could you help me check there' no mistakes?

Here's the page:

My Little Hero Academia is a My Hero Academia and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic crossover fanfiction by Ralph Hayes, Jr.. When Izuku Midoriya, in addition to One for All, receives the blessing of (not-so-) mysterious beings, his life takes a completely unexpected turn...


This story provides examples of the following tropes:

  • Adorkable: Tokoyami is shown to have a side like this. He tries to always look as cool as possible and is a closeted Batman fanboy.
    Tokoyami had seen himself as a laughingstock: a ridiculous, a dorky scrawny boy with an equally dorky, bulgy-eyed bird's head stuck on his neck. But this hero had been everything Tokoyami dreamed of being: Dark, suave, cunning, edgy, a hero to make women swoon and villains tremble... a Dark Knight.
  • Badass Boast / Dare to Be Badass: All Might delivers a mixture of these tropes on Class 1-A at the end of the USJ battle, when Izuku worries that the League of Villains will come back:
    Izuku: They're going to be back, aren't they. And next time...
    All Might: And next time, you'll be even stronger. Tougher. Smarter. Better trained. You already gave an accounting of yourselves they clearly never expected. You all have come through a crucible, and you came out shining. You say they'll try again? I look at you all and say let them come. And let them beware.
  • Emergency Transformation: The ponies use the Alicorn Ascension Ritual on Izuku to save him from a certain death by heavy wounds.
    Celestia: He cannot survive his injuries— but an ALICORN could!
  • Erotic Dream: The first time Twilight and Luna try and contact Izuku through his dreams, well...
    Luna: Twould seem yon lad had another sort of dream entirely planned for this eventide...
  • The Gadfly: Toshinori takes a lot of pleasure in trolling Aizawa, as a revenge for the negative start the latter had with Izuku.
  • Multiform Balance: When the ponies use the Alicorn Ascension Ritual, it doesn't turn him into an alicorn. Instead, One for All breaks the "alicorn status" into its components, making Izuku capable of alternating between four forms:
    • Earth pony: The basic form. The one with the raw brute strength, and a sort of innate mastery over One for All.
    • Unicorn: In this form, Izuku can use magic. He already demonstrates the basics: force field, telekinesis, teleportation...
    • Seapony: A form perfectly adapted to water, but almost useless out of it. Also capable of Make Me Wanna Shout.
    • Pegasus : The most agile form, grating Flight and Weather Manipulation.
  • No Name Given: The narration almost never calls by name the entities watching Izuku (aka the Mane Six, Celestia and Luna), but it still is easy to determine who says what through the accents, expressions...
  • Noodle Incident: All that is said about what caused Aizawa's equinophobia is that it was "an unfortunate childhood experience involving a family trip to an American 'Dude Ranch'."
