| Ask King Sombra (Blog) | comment |
A blog following King Sombra, represented here as flamboyant prettyboy and an incredibly Bad Liar — spending a thousand years frozen solid with no-one but his Superpowered Evil Side for company and being blown to pieces shortly after being freed didn't do his brainpower any favors. After being defeated by Shining Armor and Cadance, Sombra languishes in a narcissistic dreamworld, accompanied by a mare named Coffee Talk, whose soul was trapped along with Sombra's inside his falling horn.Most of the events of the first quarter of the blog take place while the horn is still falling, but Sombra and Coffee Talk manage to eventually free themselves after a visit from Luna, albeit with Sombra's magic greatly weakened from the damage to his horn, and begin a trek towards civilization. Sombra's end goal is to be King again, but his depowered state forces him to hide his real identity and prevents him from heading straight to the Empire and taking over outright, forcing him to use subterfuge… now if he could just lie worth spit, or keep from getting sidetracked...The story ended on July 31, 2016. | |

Jekyll & Hyde | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_12e8e69b | comment |
Jekyll & Hyde: Played with. Sombra and Uber Sombra are both villainous, but Sombra's at least is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who actually cares for his Morality Pet while Uber Sombra is a murderous psychopath who tries to murder Coffee Talk repeatedly just for being Sombra's Morality Pet. | |

| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: Sombra talking about how the ponies that got killed by the Crystal Wolves didn't matter, oblivious to the fact that Caribbean Splash, whose friend was among those, is right behind him. Later on, two crystal ponies mock Sombra in his exhibit, thinking that he's dead. ...Unaware that he is very much alive, right behind them, and well within earshot. | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_171ef47c | comment |
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Overall, Sombra's comedic traits can make him seem more like a harmless jerk, but there are still signs that he could be seriously dangerous if he had his full strength. This is later confirmed when he curbstomps a flight of dragons with zero effort after getting his powers back. | |

The Cynic | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_1b70ccc6 | comment |
The Cynic: Drizzle. She's extremely jaded and cynical, despite being the youngest of the cast. It turns out to be because of the emotional trauma of being kidnapped by the Crystal Wolves for months. She used to be pretty happy pony. This trope is so pronounced that when doing a post were she's genuinely smiling after managing to summon Princess Luna to their aid, one of the tags is "also, it is SO WEIRD DRAWING A SMILING DRIZZLE". | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Naturally, the characters respond to fan comments. It's a bit zigzaggy on whether other characters realize that this is what they're doing. Also, Sombra is actually able to physically interact with the question boxes; at one point he tries to hide behind them, only to realize they aren't actually real. Also also, at one point the author tries to derail the comic into a shipping fic, so Sombra and Coffee Talk open a portal and give her Author Avatar a Death Glare to make her get back on track. Sombra outright vandalizes the blog title◊ at one point. The title of the page is actually "Fourth walls are for losers" | |

Adaptational Villainy: Cadance is a lot more unforgiving than her Nice Girl with Incorruptible Pure Pureness attitude in the show proper may suggest, even openly criticizing Luna and Celestia, her aunts, over their insistence on easily forgiving their enemies and refusing to deal with threats to Equestria in a "permanent" fashion. | |

Good Is Not Dumb | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_21ef4ccd | comment |
Good Is Not Dumb: Luna may have genuinely hoped and wanted Sombra to reform, but that didn't mean she and the Princesses were foolish enough to not prepare for the event he was still evil. The Elk King knows what he's dealing with in Sombra. While he does restore Sombra's powers in order to let Sombra defeat the dragons plaguing his village, the method he uses doesn't kick in for a while (leaving Sombra unable to go on a rampage while still in the village) and is also temporary, preventing Sombra betraying him after the task was done. | |

Shut Up, Hannibal!: King Sombra's Enemy Within (who actually behaves like Canon!King Sombra) tries to tell him he's weak. Sombra replies by reminding it that the last time it was in control, they got blown up by a baby dragon and a 'pretty pink princess' and that it will listen to him because it needs a willing host and he's its only possible choice. Later, when Uber Sombra suddenly takes control and tries to get rid of Coffee Talk, she makes it perfectly clear she is not having any of his shit. He gets another one later on when Uber Sombra tries to turn him back to evil. He tells him to shut it and throws the amulet allowing Uber Sombra to manifest off a cliff. | |

The Caligula | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_52aa0c4a | comment |
The Caligula: Sombra takes this route instead of how he was depicted in the show. He's pretty much nuts. In fact, most of the occurrences in the blog are simply him hallucinating after his defeat at the hooves of the Mane Six, which reduced him to a horn (Coffee Talk is trapped with him). Except for the ghost monster. That was actually Luna. His Enemy Within, however, is pretty much how he was depicted in the show proper. | |

Let's Get Dangerous! | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_562abd51 | comment |
Let's Get Dangerous!: Sombra is normally a crazy Cloudcuckoolander. But when he helps Coffee Talk fight his Enemy Within (who actually acts like his canon counterpart) he becomes legitimately serious for the only time so far in the blog, punching said Enemy Within in the face, shutting up its attempt to tell him that he needs it because he's weak by reminding it last time it was in charge, they got blown up by a baby dragon and a 'pretty pink princess', and telling it it will obey him because it needs a willing host and he's the only one it's got. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The canon Sombra was a No-Nonsense Nemesis; this version is a complete goof (albeit with hints of a Not-So-Harmless Villain) with a Superpowered Evil Side who sometimes holds the Villain Ball . Additionally, the original used various curses and traps that bordered on Reality Warping territory; this version mostly sticks with basic Casting a Shadow spells. | |

Author Avatar | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_66755d29 | comment |
Naturally, the characters respond to fan comments. It's a bit zigzaggy on whether other characters realize that this is what they're doing. Also, Sombra is actually able to physically interact with the question boxes; at one point he tries to hide behind them, only to realize they aren't actually real. Also also, at one point the author tries to derail the comic into a shipping fic, so Sombra and Coffee Talk open a portal and give her Author Avatar a Death Glare to make her get back on track. | |

Brought Down to Normal: After being revived, King Sombra's horn is still damaged from being blown to bits and most of his energy was apparently drained. At first this leaves him with only normal unicorn magic instead of his incredibly powerful dark magic from the show. While he gradually regains his power, he's still nowhere near its peak. | |

Cerebus Retcon: At first it seems like a fairly wacky comedy blog. Then it was revealed that it was all in King Sombra's imagination after he was blown to bits by the Crystal Heart, reducing him to a horn, and Coffee Talk (an innocent mare who'd only gone to the north to report on the Crystal Empire) is there because he absorbed her in his shadow form. And Coffee Talk may be trapped there forever. Drizzle in general with the reveal that her current personality is a result of being kidnapped for months by the Crystal Wolves leaving her an emotionally broken wreck. Sombra being depicted as having a completely different personality than his canon self when it's revealed he's got a Split Personality who is like his canon self, and would murder Coffee Talk on the first chance he gets. Hey, remember Princess Shelf? Sombra's beloved Companion Cube? Turns out she's actually the physical manifestation of Sombra's repressed guilt over murdering the original Crystal Princess. This was Foreshadowed by the fact her wings, horn, and crown were identical to the Crystal Princess'. | |

Evil Is Not a Toy | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_9fb2452d | comment |
Evil Is Not a Toy: The Elk King recruits King Sombra to defeat a flight of dragons tormenting his people and restores his power in exchange. He's not too worried about him potentially betraying the Elk. Justified, as the Elk King was well aware of this trope and gave him a temporary boost rather than a permanent one and it wears off after Sombra kills the dragons. Unlike the Elk King, Longhorn isn't quite so savvy, and ends up with another severed leg for his troubles. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: According to Sombra, an adult having a blank flank in his day didn't mean you were talentless, just that you still had untapped potential, and they didn't have the luxury to engage in hobbies and talents: there were only limited options available to most ponies, namely either take over the family business, settle down and crank out a few kids or join the guard. | |

Manchild | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_e150c4c7 | comment |
Manchild: Sombra is incredibly immature and childish, prone to flights of fancy and immature behavior. When Princess Luna tells him to stop acting like a child his response is "You're not my boss!" | |

Morality Pet: Coffee Talk gradually becomes this for Sombra, to the point where he finds her body to return her to it. Her being this is exactly why his Enemy Within wants to kill her. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: Most of the first part is Sombra subconsciously dreaming after he was blown to bits by the Crystal Heart, his mind being trapped in his horn in the process. The only thing that was real was Coffee Talk, whom he absorbed in his shadow form before it happened. | |

Moment Killer: Coffee Talk finds Sombra's old jousting helmet from before he became king and gives it to Sombra. Just as he's about to thank her, and even get her name right for the first, Cocoa Chill interrupts. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: After all the crap they went through - the months of being kidnapped and laboring hard for the Wolves, the uprising against those, putting up with misadventures of Sombra and a dangerous journey across the frozen north - Drizzle and Sea Breeze finally get home. Sombra manages to atone for his sins, and because he's believed dead after his Heroic Sacrifice to destroy Uber once and for all, has a fresh start with Coffee Talk, completely purged of Uber's influence, destroying the evil spirit in the process. | |

One-Winged Angel: Not Sombra, surprisingly, but rather Cadence, after being possessed by Uber Sombra. It looks kind of like a cross between her and Sombra.◊ | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Ask King Sombra (Blog) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Caribbean Splash is probably one of the cheeriest ponies you could meet. Then his best friend/boyfriend is killed during the attempt to escape from the Crystal Wolves. Sombra says that him and the other deaths in the battle don't matter due to Sombra being, to put it nicely, a self-centered D-bag. Splash overhears this and decks Sombra right in the face, hard enough to draw blood, and follows it by giving him a What the Hell, Hero? in a complete rage and trying to beat the hell out of him. | |
