I don't think there is an exact trope for that.

What

Prequel to this?

Well, I just read a fanfic called 'Bittersweet'... Don't.

Pinkie get diabetes. Pinkie dies. It is not taken well by the mane 6. Or the reader.

I like fanfics, but I'd prefer to not read depressing fics. Though to be honest, I should have guessed it would be sad, but I didn't expect the death, or the reactions, which made the whole thing worse. Ah well, I just got to be more careful about tags next time. I'll stick to comedy fics, thank you. The saddest one I can do is 'Pony POV', which has enough happiness and thoughtfulness to be fine. Plus, nopony dies, which helps.

Now I'm going to find something funny to counteract this. Ahh, memebase, you make everything better...

Wait...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! sadness is here too now!

Yea, I should have guessed it. Ah well, It could have been far worse, and the alternative ending makes it all a dream anyway. I'm over it now, I've got exams to stress about anyway ^_^

What the hell did you THINK was gonna happen?!

I like watching Pinkie suffer every now and then, but even I wouldn't wish something like that on her

She's a good pony.

Anyway! Do you think that Sapphire cupcake was just a one-off item for Spike?

Most likely. No one else in the town eats gems, so there isn't really much of a market for them.

I think now that he knows they exist, he might order more of them. It's an extremely specialty item, though.

Eh, it's not the most depressing pinkie fic I have ever seen.

I'm just saying that as someone who reads a lot of sad fics. Yes, it is still depressing, but I personally didn't care for it and thought there were other Sad Pinkie fics that were more depressing(and in some cases better).

Doesn't stop it from BEING depressing though.

Great answers, Mousa.

Out of morbid curiosity, what is the saddest Pinkie fanfic?

It hasn't been written yet. That job is left up to you.

@Mio Could you PM Applejack that answer?

I don't feel like being depressed right now

I am intrigued as well.

Dammit. I DON'T WANNA KNOW!! (shiver)

I'm not! I like my ponies depression free, thank you very much.

I honestly couldn't say since those things can get pretty subjective. Plus I don't just read sad for the sake of sad (I have my standards).Though my favorite Sad Pinkie fic is ''Painless'', pretty soulcrushing in the sadness department, kind of repetitive at times, but ends on a triumphant note.

Oh, sorry Ginger I didn't see your post there. Just. . .umm. . .look away!

I'm sorry.

-_-

Quick! Distract Ginger! *points* Look! There's a flying Applejack!

I can solve this. If you don't want to read it. Don't read it.

I'm fine. I'd just rather have not had the temptation is all

Oh, I've read Painless. I can totally relate to it too. But it wasn't End of Evangelion or Grave of the Fireflies depressing to me. From what I've heard, that honor goes to [Name redacted for Ginger's sake] because that one is soulcrushingly depressing and can be summed up with a line from a certain song. "Everyone I know goes away in the end."

See, I can take sad if there's some hope in it. Like the FMA manga/FMA Brotherhood anime.

Also, I'm still considered a newfag by the forum even though I've PATIENTLY waited a WEEK to be able to post when I want to and not once every ten minutes? Screw this, I will see you when "Hearts and Hooves Day" airs, as that will be February 11th, the exact day it airs and the day I will have had this account for a month. If I'm still considered a newfag then... i dont know what I'll do, probably leave forever since they are not resetting the password to my "Pinkie P" account. I'll lurk, don't worry, but with the way the system is treating me, I don't have much will to post anymore. Not in a quick-moving thread like this.

You Bastard

Ooh! I got something even worse:

Yyyyyeah no. Anything that has to do with fucking "Pinkeamena" gets an automatic pass from me.

Huh, just found this quote on the You Bastard page. Makes you think.

Must counter sadness! Err... Pinkie, get help!
