I've never seen the color litterally drain from someone's face, not to mention their entire body.
Also Pinkie is trying to out troll trollestia, we must have a trolling war! To arms for those who side with the pink one. To arms for those who side with the solar one.
Yes, yes it is. Which leads to two rather disturbing implications: 1, Pinkie knows of the movie; 2, how does Pinkie know that the story is not medically accurate?
Well, it wasn't 100% medically accurate. I feel like if it had been, the whole fic would have been a lot more horrifying because it would have rung with the truth of reality. You'd have to go to great lengths to keep a pony alive while mutilating it, and Pinky Pie just didn't do the things she would have had to do.
I think the joke, though, is that it's almost darker to read the fic and have that be your only thought. "It was alright, but it could have been more sinister if written with better surgical knowledge," is probably not the healthiest first instinct.
@the (fallen) princess Luna I agree! I didn't have nightmares, I just didn't like it. But I did think the end was funny... BWAHAHA! I rofl'd at this comic.
I think that, while cupcakes wasn't that horrifying in its own right, it's helped along by 2 things. First, it gets to use established characters that you already know and empathise with, and secondly, Pinkie Pie stays completely in character the entire time
@filleg: I was the same way. Read the story, just sat there for a good half-hour after finishing it, thinking "wtf did i just read?". It's not scary, just really disturbing, partially because pinkie's in character the whole time.

ReplyDeleteCupcakes is not even that good of a story. But it is kinda like a meme for this fandom.

Cupcakes could have been much worse it retrospect it wasn't so bad.

I really want a large Celestia OBEY poster for my wall.
ReplyDeleteOh, Cupcakes. Neither epic nor shipping, and yet one of the best known stories in the fandom. Truly a milestone in our history.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteWell some parts of the body are not living (hair etc.) and could not drain of blood (not having any)
@Pegasi
ReplyDeleteYes, yes it is. Which leads to two rather disturbing implications: 1, Pinkie knows of the movie; 2, how does Pinkie know that the story is not medically accurate?
Lol @ pinkie in the last panel...
ReplyDelete...

Argh! Stop staring at me! We have free press!! I CANT HELP IT ARRRRRRRHHGghhhhhhhh...
ReplyDelete...Cupcakes will forever scar me as well....
ReplyDeleteHeeheeheehee! Wait... oh... I made myself feel bad.
ReplyDeleteSomeone did it before me.. Oh well :P
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that thought Cupcakes wasn't that great/bad?
ReplyDeleteCupcakes is the most horrifying thing I have ever read. At 1st, it almost ruined MLP for me, then I just decided to suppress the memory
ReplyDeletethat is awesome

Cupcakes didn't bother me, I just didn't like it. I still don't like it.
ReplyDeleteSo why the hay am I writing a slasher grimdark!?
Celestia's OBEY poster is everywhere in the fandom these days.
ReplyDeleteIt took Dash an hour to read "Cupcakes"? I thought I was a slow reader.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteWell, if I were reading a story about me having my insides being torn out, I'd read so much slower just to make sure it ain't me. >_>
@the (fallen) princess Luna
ReplyDeleteI agree! I didn't have nightmares, I just didn't like it. But I did think the end was funny...
BWAHAHA!
I rofl'd at this comic.
Me likey...poor Dashie....
ReplyDeleteThe awesomeness of this comic duplicates because of the background images.
ReplyDeleteI think that, while cupcakes wasn't that horrifying in its own right, it's helped along by 2 things. First, it gets to use established characters that you already know and empathise with, and secondly, Pinkie Pie stays completely in character the entire time
ReplyDeleteSheesh, at least she didn't click on two pony's, one cupcake!
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHHA !!!
ReplyDeleteLoved it :)
If this is Rainbow Dash's reaction to "Cupcakes", I'm curious to see how she would react to Shipping fiction.
ReplyDelete@Firleycat
ReplyDelete"What's this?"
"WHAT!? This is horrible. I can't believe somepony wrote this!"
...
@Firleycat
ReplyDelete...okay, so apparently you can't use greater-than and less-than in comments. What I was trying to say was:
"What's this?"
*click*
"WHAT!? This is horrible. I can't believe somepony wrote this!"
...
*clop clop clop*
What if Pinkie reads Roquet To Insanity? Someone thinked about that?
ReplyDeleteThe third panel is priceless <3
ReplyDeleteThat fic is more well known then anything else on the freakin show! Run.... RUN!!!
ReplyDeleteLoL
ReplyDeleteThat last face Pinkie Pie makes is...chilling.
ReplyDeleteI was quite disturbed by "Cupcakes" as I read it, but I got over it. It wasent really that scary now when I look back.
ReplyDelete@filleg:

@KillKatt
ReplyDeleteSomehow I feel this comic shows the events that led up TO Rocket to Insanity. XD
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteShe must've been sitting there in stunned horror for a good chunk of that time.
Sadly cupcakes has something that make you read it till the end and remember
ReplyDeleteWHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CAN NOT BE UNSEEN
After seeing this comic, I thought cupcakes was a clopfic. I then went to check it out...
ReplyDeleteI think I'll skip dessert for a while.
I read Cupcakes at 1am. I giggled.
ReplyDeleteEither a lot of readers are overreacting, or the internet's finally destroyed my soul.
*shrug*
One hour later? It took her an hour to read it? I finished it in less than ten minutes.
ReplyDeleteit took an hour for rainbow dash to read cupcakes.... read that in
ReplyDelete>5 minuets
lol the 3rd pane is the best
