* ClockKing: Perry Pierce, Pokey Pierce's older brother.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: See AccidentalProposal above.

* SelectiveObliviousness: Fluttershy thinks that Big Mac merely wants to take their relationship slowly, while Big Mac has been trying to break up with her. It is partly due to her misinterpreting his gestures, and the fact that Big Mac does not wish to hurt her feelings by outright telling her his feelings.

* ShippingGoggles: In-Universe; both various readers and the ponies in the community have convinced themselves that Big Mac and Carapace's recent friendship is more than it seems, which causes strife when they try to force them together.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Octavia (who is prim and proper despite a rural upbringing) reading Jailbreak (which features such acts as public urination) leads to the "Slang delivered innocuously" version of this trope.

* TriangRelations: Macintosh, Fluttershy, and Carapace are in one, mostly because what Macintosh interprets as a breaking up gesture Fluttershy seems to interpret as more of a "I'm still nervous but I'm okay with this" gesture.

* ''[[http://octavia-and-vinyl-read-comics.tumblr.com/ Octavia and Vinyl]] Read Comics (So far, they have read {{Webcomic/Jailbreak}}'' and ''[[Webcomic/AndItDontStop And It Don't Stop]]''. Also featuring "Philly")

* ''DM [[http://dungeonmasterbonbon.tumblr.com/ Bonbon]] Draws [[http://crystalstuck.tumblr.com/ Crystalstuck]] (and plays Franchise/DragonAge)'' (Also featuring Lyra, Thunderlane (who is also Big Mac's friend), Blossomforth, and Roseluck)

* ''[[http://octavia-reads-jailbreak.tumblr.com/ Octavia]] reads {{Webcomic/Jailbreak}}'' (Also featuring "Philly" and, now that they live together, Vinyl Scratch)

** As for the Changelings, Khepri is now in a relationship with Lightning Dust, and Big Mac is trying to form a relationship with Carapace.

** After Carapace accidentally says something that could incite anger against the changelings; she indulges the next person to ask about her recent date and then proceeds to move the discussion towards the merits of Jam. Suprisingly the readers go along with this with equal enthusiasm.

** Carrot Top has major issues with her twin sister Golden Harvest. [[spoiler: Golden Harvest is a wealthy and popular member of the Canterlot Social Elite (So she says, anyway), while Carrot Top is a recovering alcoholic who works on the apple farm. On the other hand, Carrot Top has her soft side beneath her SnarkKnight [[JerkWithAHeartofGold exterior]], while GoldenHarvest badmouths Carrot Top behind her back after logging into Carrot Top's account. She also called Derpy retarded, earning her a black eye from AppleJack.]]

* UnstoppableRage: Octavia has some anger issues and is seeing a therapist about them. This has led to completely trashing an event after [[strike:a snobby critic]] her self-loathing father told her that nobody really cared about her music (which led to her ensemble urging her to take a sabbatical), and threatening to smash a cello into someone's face when Lyra was being criticized for poorly dealing with Bonbon's affections (and then actually doing so later...to a rather large dragon).

* ''DM [[http://dungeonmasterbonbon.tumblr.com/ Bonbon]] Draws [[http://crystalstuck.tumblr.com/ Crystalstuck]] (and plays Franchise/DragonAge)'' (Also featuring Lyra and some other random ponies)

* ''[[http://pinkie-pie-reads-problem-sleuth.tumblr.com/ Pinkie Pie]] Reads Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' (The original, which has been discontinued, though other Pinkie Pie Reads blogs have popped up since)

** ''Pinkie Pie reads [[Webcomic/UnicornJelly Pastel Defender Heliotrope]]'' (A blog made by the mod of Cyberbully Fluttershy specifically to confuse followers of the verse; it technically does not exist in the verse, but this version of Pinkie pesters Gilda all the time)
** ''[[http://pinkiepiereadsproblemsleuth.tumblr.com/ Pinkie Pie]] reads Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' (A reboot of the original, which now features Rarity on occasion)

* ''[[http://octavia-reads-jailbreak.tumblr.com/ Octavia]] reads {{Webcomic/Jailbreak}}'' (Also featuring "Philly")

* ''[[http://carrottopreadsdominicdeegan.tumblr.com/ Carrot Top]] Reads Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' (Also occasionally featuring others including Noi, Applejack and Autum Harvest)

* ''[[http://derpyreadsliterallyeverything.tumblr.com/ Derpy reads Literally Everything]]'' (Formerly a one-gag blog before the askers started insisting on knowing where Dinky came from. At present, the blog has been taken over by Dinky.)

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Pokey Pierce, the cheerful CloudCuckooLander, has revealed that in the Reading Rainbowverse his special talent is [[spoiler:voodoo magic.]]

** [[spoiler:Carrot Top]] has major issues with her twin sister [[spoiler:Golden Harvest]]. [[spoiler: Golden Harvest is a wealthy and popular member of the Canterlot Social Elite (So she says, anyway), while Carrot Top is a recovering alcoholic who works on the apple farm.

** [[spoiler:Carrot Top]] has major issues with her twin sister [[spoiler:Golden Harvest]]. As it's a touchy subject, and because anonymous messengers keep rudely pestering her about it, it will likely take a long time before more details are shared.

* AIIsACrapshoot: ''Sonichu'' is so utterly vile, Mac blogging about it on his computer has somehow manifested a virus that sympathizes with CWC and desperately wants to get out.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Bonbon builds a rock candy golem for her duel with Pinkie. It wasn't meant to be used when it was, but the Crusaders got their hooves on it...

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Dinky Doo]]. Also [[spoiler:Noi]], but she still holds her original mother in high regard.

* HumiliationConga: Let's see. Lightning was kicked out of the Wonderbolts, which ruined her relationship with her mother, set up on a blind date with the mare that she blames for that, accused of getting said mare into prison and getting more disappointment from her mother, went into heat for the first time and became heatlocked on said mare, attracted the attention of an anonymous eldritch abomination, had a "male organ" drawn on her forehead by said eldritch abomination, hospitalized herself trying to do a sonic rainboom, was disowned by her mother shortly thereafter, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking forced to wear a frilly dress.]] More recently, she's been accused of being racist, and she will permanently need glasses due to permanent damages from attempting the rainboom.

* {{The Nicknamer}}: Lyra really seems to enjoy giving nicknames to ponies she likes. And Carapace the Changeling.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Thunderlane is very insistent that he has no connection to the virus on Big Macintosh's computer, and that Big Mac's flashdrive wasn't purchased from a mysterious caravan.

** As for the Changelings, Khepri is now in a relationship with Lightning Dust, and Big Mac has tried and failed to kiss Carapace while drunk.

* HumiliationConga: Let's see. Lightning was kicked out of the Wonderbolts, which ruined her relationship with her mother, set up on a blind date with the mare that she blames for that, accused of getting said mare into prison and getting more disappointment from her mother, went into heat for the first time and became heatlocked on said mare, attracted the attention of an anonymous eldritch abomination, had a "male organ" drawn on her forehead by said eldritch abomination, hospitalized herself trying to do a sonic rainboom, was disowned by her mother shortly thereafter, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking forced to wear a frilly dress.]] More recently, she's been accused of being racist.

** It turns out that Vinyl was worried that her poor impulse control will tear them apart, and did not admit her feelings before Octavia's LoveEpiphany because of it. Once Octavia learns this, she promises to help Vinyl deal with her problem.

* KillerGM: Carapace and her obsession with flaming spike traps!

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Spitfire [[spoiler:upon realizing exactly how horrible a mother she's been to Lightning Dust.]]
* NewAgeRetroHippie: Fluttershy, of all ponies, used to be one of these. She's very embarrassed about it especially since her dabbling in drugs left her with extended eustrus syndrome.
* {{The Nicknamer}}: Lyra really seems to enjoy giving nicknames to ponies she likes.

* TomeOfEldritchLore: The book on the Shadowbolts. It apparently added and removed itself to the library's catalog, has knowledge of ponies that may never have existed, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking draws a dick on Lightning Dust.]]

* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done Daughter" Girl]]: At one point, Lightning Dust heavily injured herself trying to impress her mother, Spitfire. Spitfire's response was to (figuratively) disown her.
** Also to a lesser extent Bonbon. She often references the way her late parents raised her to explain why she does what she does, including her extremely reverent attitude to the Princesses (including Twilight, to her annoyance), wanting to marry and have a family early, and even her friendly rivalry with Pinkie Pie.

* HumiliationConga: Let's see. Lightning was kicked out of the Wonderbolts, which ruined her relationship with her mother, set up on a blind date with the mare that she blames for that, accused of getting said mare into prison and getting more disappointment from her mother, went into heat for the first time and became heatlocked on said mare, attracted the attention of an anonymous eldritch abomination, had a "male organ" drawn on her forehead by said eldritch abomination, hospitalized herself trying to do a sonic rainboom, was disowned by her mother shortly thereafter, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking forced to wear a frilly dress.]]

* ''[[http://wonderbolts-read-farva.tumblr.com/ The Wonderbolts]] read [[Webcomic/AirForceBlues Farva]]'' (Starring Spitfire and Soarin, but featuring various other Wonderbolts; it has also been discontinued)

* ColonelBadass: Colonel Firefly, Spitfire's superior officer.

** ''[[http://wonderbolts-read-afblues.tumblr.com/ The Wonderbolts]] read [[Webcomic/AirForceBlues]]'' (A reboot/continuation of the original blog, currently featuring Colonel Firefly of the Wonderbolts' parent unit.)

** ''[[http://pinkiepiereadsproblemsleuth.tumblr.com/ Pinkie Pie]] reads Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' (A reboot of the original, which also features Rarity on occasion)

* ''[[http://carrottopreadsdominicdeegan.tumblr.com/ Carrot Top]] Reads Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' (Also featuring Noi)

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Bonbon builds a rock candy golem for her duel with Pinkie.

* CerebusRollercoaster: Oh so very very very much.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: See Accidental Proposal above.

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: Dinky Doo.]]

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Oh Lightning Dust... poor poor Lightning Dust...

* InterspeciesRomance: As per the norm, Gilda with a pony. Specifically an eyeless unicorn named Galaxy.

* ItsAllMyFault: Spitfire, during her therapy session, when it was revealed that she accidentally killed her father.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: Vinyl Scratch locks herself in a bathroom during her freak-out.
** MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: Why she chose ''Fluttershy's'' bathroom is a mystery for the ages.

** After Pinkie threw a huge multiverse party for Bonbon with over a dozen other blogs making cameos Bonbon is nigh-obsessed with finding a way to travel to other universes/blogs, especially ones starring Lyra. She finally achieves this after combining her powers with Pinkie to summon cakes and candies from another universe and accidentally sending herself... somewhere.
* MundaneUtility: One day after Octavia realizes that [[spoiler:Philly is a separate personality that she created]], she uses it to avoid dealing with hangover pains.

* RageAgainstTheReflection: Arpeggio, Octavia's father, once hit a mirror so hard that he had to get medical attention to clean up all the cuts the broken shards left on him.

** Everyone hides in Fluttershy's bathroom [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext for some reason.]]

* UnstoppableRage: Octavia has some anger issues and is seeing a therapist about them. This has led to completely trashing an event after a snobby critic told her that nobody really cared about her music (which led to her ensemble urging her to take a sabbatical), and threatening to smash a cello into someone's face when Lyra was being criticized for poorly dealing with Bonbon's affections (and then actually doing so later...to a rather large dragon).
