* [[Art Evolution]]: Some of the longer lasting blogs have noticeably improved in the art department. Compare this [http://askoctavia.tumblr.com/post/7388226329 early post]{{Dead link}} from Ask Octavia to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130303164850/http://askoctavia.tumblr.com/post/14656703986/sorry-for-the-delays-and-dragging-this-on-im this post] 6 months later.
* [[Actor Allusion|Artist Allusion]]
Line 95:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Most Ask a Pony blogs seem to employ this by having the character explain why they decided to get a Tumblr. Some go the extra mile by having characters say they speak to off-screen cameras that follow them around.
** And then there's [http://askhumanvinylandderpy.tumblr.com/ Ask Human Vinyl and Derpy]{{Dead link}}, an Ask Blog which features Vinyl Scratch trying to figure out how she and Derpy can get more followers.
* [[But Your Wings Are Beautiful]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130806105808/http://twilightunbound.tumblr.com/ Werelight Shine] [http://twilightunbound.tumblr.com/post/23919465677tries to hide her beast form from]{{Dead link}} her date to the prom and her hood slips off.

* [[Cerebus Retcon]]:
** At first, [[Hot-Blooded]] Pinkie [https://web.archive.org/web/20130125135207/http://askhotbloodedpinkie.tumblr.com/post/20275810403/ill-just-ill-just-get-a-new-earth-no-big destroying the Earth on accident] is somewhat funny, given the series over the top nature. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130125134811/http://askhotbloodedpinkie.tumblr.com/post/20297747619/my-courage-its-dead Then we see the aftermath.]
Line 116:
** Both Discord Whooves and The Master also fit the bill, though the latter tends to be considerably more...forceful about it.
* [[Easter Egg]]: The Ask Loony Loona blog had a few secret messages in her posts hidden quite ingeniously. {{spoiler|They can usually be seen by dragging the images over the black or white areas.}}
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130901231505/http://askeldritchdiscord.tumblr.com/ Ask Eldritch Discord], [[Captain Obvious|Duh]].

* [[Emo Teen]]: Rarity comes off as one in Ask Sadistic Rarity.
Line 140:
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: [http://askhumanluna.tumblr.com/ Human Luna] pretty much swiches between two outfits throughout the blog. This is justified however, as Luna has pretty much zero interest in fashion.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Ruby Pinch will be this on occasion, [http://askrubypinch.tumblr.com/post/10810476147/i-i-dont-know-pd-pinchy-mage-pinchy-swordpony like] [http://askrubypinch.tumblr.com/post/10903468050 so].

* [[Mind Rape]]: Practically a trademark of The Master. And it frequently leads to ''actual'' rape not long after.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Sweetie Belle to Rarity in Ask Lil Miss Rarity.
Line 159:
* [[One of Us]]: Some of the blogs are indeed run by local tropers, like [[Ask the Mane Six]]. Also the author of Whirly & the Night Guards browses the site because in her words she's "[[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|a masochist that likes to get lost on that site]]" and was [http://askwhirlyandthenightguards.tumblr.com/post/22986304449/so-there-i-was-on-tvtropes-because-im-a-masochist quite touched]{{Dead link}} when she saw the description we have for her blog.

* [[Perma-Stubble]]: Flutterguy in Just Ask Flutterguy.
* {{spoiler|[[Rape as Drama]]/ [[Villainous Incest]]}}: From Braeburn to Applejack in the Ask Crapplejack blog. This has been shown to have possibly gone back much farther and might've contributed to her {{spoiler|drinking problem}}.
Line 180:
** [[PONY.MOV|Jappleack's]] treatment of Apple Bloom.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: [http://askterry.tumblr.com/ Ask Terry], a [[Fan Sequel]] to [http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/131034 this parody comic]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Time Skip]]: Several, though it's often alluded to what happened during said skip. Examples include [https://web.archive.org/web/20130929075427/http://ask-adult-applebloom.tumblr.com/ Adult Applebloom], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130814222419/http://askcaptainpipsqueak.tumblr.com/ Ask Captain Pipsqueak], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130426140006/http://askheroicpipsqueak.tumblr.com/ Ask Heroic Pipsqueak & Pumpkin], and others.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Lil' Miss Rarity.
Line 187:
* [[Tsundere]]: "Meanie" Belle.
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: You'd think a pony stripped of their fur would not look very cute. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130303210707/http://ask-thecrusaders.tumblr.com/post/24663521615/sweetie-so-many-lovemails-for-me-over-one Sweetie Belle proves you wrong].
