School Daze: Difference between revisions

* [[Dean Bitterman]] - Principal Prunecrop is this in spades.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Red, to Cheerilee

* [[Education Through Pyrotechnics]] - Red Glare seems to be rather fond of this trope.

* [[First Guy Wins]] - {{spoiler|Red Glare for Cheerilee.}}

* [[High School Sweethearts]]: {{spoiler|Crunch and Luster, Screwball and Quest}}

* [[Inevitable Waterfall]] - Screwball and her friends face one {{spoiler|in the collapsed mine. While rafting on an underground river.}}

* [[Les Yay]]: {{spoiler|Word of God has it that the references to Lyra and Cheerilee's earlier relationship in college counts.}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]] - {{spoiler|Discord. He emotionally assaults Cheerilee during her darkest moments, creates a distraction in Ponyville which nearly holds up the element bearers and the princesses from helping the teachers when they are trapped in the mine, and tricks Celestia into believing he did it all to help Screwball, his "daughter"... who he in fact feels nothing but contempt for and is only using as a way of escaping his imprisonment, negating the elements binding of him. Clever bastard, eh?}}

* [[Running Gag]]: The salacious pictures of Cheerilee left behind by her last class.

* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: In terms of the last chapter title; every chapter before that is titled with the name of an 80's song. Chapter 11 is left titleless until its end.

* [[Six-Student Clique]]:

** The Head — Quest Talltale

* [[The Verse]]: According to the summary of the author's stand-alone prequel, Choices, this is in the same universe as another one of said author's works, The Three Whooves (or at least that starts in the same universe as this).

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Discord. He even calls out the trope-namer in one scene by growing a mustache, renaming a pony 'Owned,' and telling him that "Everything is going according to plan."}}
