Horse Wife
is a Tumblr-based My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Slice of Life comic blog about a pony named Brownie Bun who is married to a bald human named Richard. The comics deal with their life together as they deal with problems ranging from Brownie Bun's cooking problems to changeling infestations.
Horse Wife contains examples of:
- Alternate Universe: Several of these exist: one in which the species are reversed (Brownie Bun is the human and Richard is the pony), one where the main characters are stereotypical goths, and another where everyone is incredibly muscular and obsessed with exercise.
- Closeup on Head: Here.
- Fun T-Shirt: Richard wears a lot of these.
- Gold Digger: DiDi, the Diamond Dog, in search of her own husband.
- Happily Married: Richard and Brownie Bun are quite happy together. This seems to apply to the other married couple as well.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: A changeling named Chips, who hides by putting an empty chip bag on her horn... And neither Richard or Brownie Bun notice her.
- Interspecies Romance: Between human Richard and Equestrian pony Brownie Bun.
- Also with the unnamed Dragon Wife and her pony husband, and whoever Griffon Wife's husband is.
- Lethal Chef: Poor Brownie Bun tries hard, but every attempt to cook results in something catching on fire, usually the stove. In one particular instance, she even manages to set no-bake cheesecake on fire.
- Poke the Poodle: How Equestrians in the Horse Wife universe engage in war. The example we see is a human asking a pony barista named Bathilda for a coffee with 2% milk. But instead of 2% milk, she uses... 18% cream!
- Pun: "I'll visit any doctor who can get me into STABLE condition."
- Running Gag: *horse noises* and permutations thereof. Brownie Bun's ongoing difficulties with human technology; and being pony-sized in a human-sized world.
- Tastes Like Purple: When Brownie tried human coffee for the first time.It's like someone squeezed their hatred of me into a styrofoam cup.
- This Means War!: Equestria in the Horse Wife universe is quite reactionary and war-prone (reasons behind wanting war include wearing hats, putting syrup on eggs, using too much ketchup on fries, not using enough ketchup on fries)... Fortunately they're also very BAD at it as everything they do in a "war" is extremely passive-aggressive, such as a pony giving someone 18% cream milk when they asked for 2%.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Peanut Butter for Brownie Bun. Carrots are a close second.
- [Trope Name]: Richard's T-Shirt in this post: "Funny Horse Joke".
