In my headcanon, Pinkie randomly drugs, kidnaps, and shackles Dash in her basement at least once a week, but it's for stuff Dash won't do on her own, like mane-cuts, flossing, wing preening, taking her vitamins, washing behind her ears...
@Travis Smith IDK :lunashrugplz: might have just decided to out of rage or something. And this may sound dumb that I'm asking but are you a self-insert?
@Princess Luna As a self insert no, but I do intend to send in my fic, what I'm doing is just acting like Im part of the thing, in a way its like trolling but I'm just making random stuff , trying to make a name for myself in here. It's always been a dream to at least be mentiond in something on the Internet. Basiclly I just make it seem my fiction is a hidden part of the show. I take example that I'm a former guard, I work for Prince Catasrophe who is ruler of the Steel Empire that exists beyond Equestria's border. This stems from my imagination mostly
Actually, Cupcakes beat "Party of One" by 13 to 16 weeks. And before you ask, no it didn't influence the episode, which had long ago been written and the voice tracks recorded.
@Apple Bloom I thought you'd like the reference if you remember what you did at the end of the story. Can't decide what I really thought of the story. They were really out of character at times. The gore you eventually shrug off if you've happened to venture into the wrong side of the "dead internet". I hadn't shuddered so much since that day...
I'm simply bewildered at how much of the fandom takes (pure) Grimdark pony ANYTHING seriously. It's why Cupcakes is the only Pure Grimdark fic I actually respect, it's just gore porn for the sake of itself and not trying to be taken more seriously than the shock-gore trollfic it is.
The WORST thing about Cupcakes is anyone who reads it and considers i6t's canon possibilities. Missing the point much?
ProTip: All pure grimdark fics are either trollfics, tongue-in-cheek black humor, or taking themselves way too seriously.
@Jake I'm not a fan of the fic itself, but the "Psycho Pinkie" concept (as seen in fanart and PMVs) is one of the things which got me interested in the series in the first place. So I can't say I'm sorry it was written.
Not canon exactly (I mean Dash is alive in the show obviously), but a plausible what-if based on the canon characters. Like: "Yeah, Pinkie could totally go insane and be baking random ponies into cupcakes in secret." This was even more prevalent after Party of One made it canon that pinkie's emotional and psychological makeup is somewhat fragile.
It just boggles my mind how fans seem to have some innate need to validate fanon and headcanon despite those things being by definition invalid to canon.
I have literally seen posts that are borderline dissertations about how this could actually happen. I've seen the same damn thing exhibited by readers of a certain other, much much more disturbing grimdark rapefic where Rarity has a mental break.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person who found Cupcakes humorous. It obviously wasn't meant to be taken seriously, so why do people freak out about it so much? Personally, I like the Psycho!Pinkie fanon, but I love good old canon Pinkie too...
@Fluffy To be precise, I don't freak out over Cupcakes, I freak out over people who take Cupcakes seriously, as DPV111 described. If there weren't so many people treating straight-maned "Pinkamina" as a repressed or potential psychotic dark side of Pinkie Pie, I wouldn't give a flying fickle finger of fate about Cupcakes.
@DPV111 It's like you've been reading my notes for fics file. I seriously have a Cupcakes subversion where Pinkie just ran out of sugar and is over zealous in making Dash tell her where she hid the candy. Culmination in Pinkie tickling Dash with her own feathers and Dash giving up her stash of candy canes.
But yes. The number of people who think Cupcakes is fallout from Party of One is staggering. The number of idiots chanting "Party made Cupcakes canon" is too. It's like they have absolutely zero concept of character. PartyOfOne!Pinkie turned inward and became dismissive of her former friends and wanted nothing to do with them.
The only reference that kills a mood FASTER than a Cupcakes ref is the phrase "20% cooler in 10 seconds flat".
@HMorris73 Not necessarily. The fact that everyone associates Pinkie with straight hair as being automatically psychotic could have just meant that she'd, ya know, have straight hair, and nothing else.
I consider Seth's comment as insufficient for a warning.
Heh fun scenario. There was already one that I can't remember the name of where Pinkie had Dash tied up for Applejack who knocked Dash out for stealing apples and Pinkie was taking "samples" from Dash but it was to make cupcakes FOR her...
But yeah I would be most amused if it was like a semi-regular routine for them. Pinkie's randomness and Dash's to the max.
Why does everyone show Pinkie Pie as a psycho? The favorite character of my friend who showed me mlp fim, was Pinkie Pie. He had seen in mlp fim a whole world, he tolerated gore and other things, but this flash was enough. This flash was the waterdrop that the barrel overflowed. I dont think, that it was in Lauren Faust's mind, letting Pinkie Pie act like a psycho. I dont care, if this post will be removed by admins. With bronies like them, who needs enemies. Sorry for my English.
@DeltaPi_1984_ Why would you think your post would be removed? Anyway no offense, but I think your friend would be better off just getting over it. People enjoy the MLP: FIM in different ways, that's all there is to it. Who are you to say they can't?

ReplyDelete...I'm gonna count that as a first.

ReplyDeleteThis is unquestionably the most absurdly stupid thing I've seen for some time.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
"Can't we have a cute, non-psychotic Pinkie Pie crossover just once?"
ReplyDeleteNo, because "Cupcakes" is truth. :P
And I'm so tempted to make some snarky comment about the battle for first here...
Well it looks like you all now have a
ReplyDelete*puts on sunglasses*
Hoof on things
@Travis Smith That pun was so bad I'm considering sending you to the sun.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never did like the reputation that Cupcakes gave Pinkie. I'm sure it's a well-written story, but I don't see myself ever reading it.
ReplyDelete@Luna
ReplyDeleteTRY ME!!
I've been sent to the moon twice and Mars
Now I have something to watch after playing call of duty.
ReplyDeleteWow, epic (if slighty odd.) creppy Big mac face is creppy.
ReplyDelete@Jake
ReplyDeleteI think that Part of One is what really gave her that reputation. Without it, Cupcakes would probably never have been written.

ReplyDeleteI hate the Cupcakes reference...
ReplyDeleteSPRINKLES!
ReplyDeleteI'm so damn tired of Cupcakes... *sigh*
ReplyDelete@Luna No other me! He'll destroy what's left of the ruins in the Everfree!!!
ReplyDelete@Princess Luna
ReplyDeleteWhy would I do that? That's where nightmare moon was defeated, so it will remain
Lol.
ReplyDeleteDash is all "Not Amused" face at Pinkie.

ReplyDelete@DPV111
ReplyDeleteStrangely, I'm okay with it being that way
I don't like the Cupcakes reference. It's overused.
ReplyDeleteBesides that, the animation is awesome. I laughed at the YEAAHHHHHHHHHH and FUUUUUUUUU parts =D

Now this is how I wish the fandom had reacted to Cupcakes.

The gore you eventually shrug off if you've happened to venture into the wrong side of the "dead internet". I hadn't shuddered so much since that day...
ReplyDelete@Travis Smith I wanna preread something without the frustrating job of it at EqD so I might wanna take a look at it...

ReplyDelete@Travis Smith It is locked from editing right? I remember the trollattacks taken by My Little Alicorn back when it had slowed updates.

ReplyDeleteIt should be, otherwise there will be caskets to fill by morning
@DPV111
ReplyDeleteHow would anybody consider it Canon?
@Jake
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the fic itself, but the "Psycho Pinkie" concept (as seen in fanart and PMVs) is one of the things which got me interested in the series in the first place. So I can't say I'm sorry it was written.
Nice to hear it, I'll get cracking on reading and start on Spelling/Grammatical errors if any are noticeable.

ReplyDelete@DPV111 Whoa there, before I go did someone consider something like baked Rainbow Dash as possible canon? The nerve of someponies...
ReplyDeleteOh Seth... /shakes head sadly/
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Pinkie's role?
@Travis Smith
ReplyDeleteNot canon exactly (I mean Dash is alive in the show obviously), but a plausible what-if based on the canon characters.
Like: "Yeah, Pinkie could totally go insane and be baking random ponies into cupcakes in secret."
This was even more prevalent after Party of One made it canon that pinkie's emotional and psychological makeup is somewhat fragile.

I have literally seen posts that are borderline dissertations about how this could actually happen.
I've seen the same damn thing exhibited by readers of a certain other, much much more disturbing grimdark rapefic where Rarity has a mental break.
I liked the bit with Spike
ReplyDeleteMan, buck Cupcakes. And anything involving this "psycho-Pinkie" belief.
ReplyDeletePlease. Can we give that whole part of the fanon a rest?
@Brian
ReplyDeleteIt will never go away as long as we keep taking it seriously and reacting to it. It just makes it matter and keeps it relevant.
*role

ReplyDeleteI agree, Psycho Pinkie can be fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Applejack had me LOLin big time! xD

Thanks for the lack of Cupcakes warning. I really appreciated that.

I almost cried again when I saw that cupcakes reference. That horrible image of RD is still in my head...

Might I add that it was totally worth it. Just throwing that out there.
