How do we get rid of you?

With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.

You can't get rid of Naney. Even when you think he's gone, he's just hiding in the shadows, watching, waiting for the chance to pounce on you from behind.

He's here to stay, and he's been here longer than you. Sorry.

Oh do you think Mr Cake has a Japaneses relative named Christmastimes?

I'd like to think of Pinkemena as an entirely different pony from Pinkie.

I love my hat

During class, I doodled a picture of an AU Pinkie called "Greenie Tea". She looked like Pinkie with straight hair, a black sweater, a very relaxed expression, and a teacup cutie mark. Basically, she'd be very calm and rational, but was also a Perpetual Smiler and very laid back.

Also, guess what color you get when you invert pink?

I believe someone asked for Beatles ponies a few pages back. Well, I found them!

On the one hand, I always thought it was kind of weird that when fans would think of a name for a ponyfied celebrity, they'd just make pony puns based off of their real names (like Robert Pony Jr, or David Haselhoof), since that's not how the character names in the show work at all. On the other hand, I would imagine that it'd be harder to create original names based off of their personalities. But hey, let's try to do that anyway:

Ringo Starr: Star Ring (get it, like starring? Ha ha?)

John Lennon: Something poetic sounding

George Harrison: No idea

Paul Mc Cartney: No idea

I'd like to think of Pinkemena as an entirely different pony from Pinkie.

I do too, and I like Ask Pinkamena.

Loves horses and her boyfriend too

#4937 inane 242 Mon, 29th Aug '11 5:17:17 PM from A B-Movie Bildungsroman

The Ask Pinkamena Pinkie permutation does seem like a completely different pony to me too.

This makes her a lot less creepy IMO.

An alternate universe where she actually did get abandoned by her friends, perhaps.

I originally thought it was a non-sonic rainboom AU, but after these Fluttershy updates, that seems to be getting less and less true

#4941 Kuro Fox Mon, 29th Aug '11 7:19:13 PM from under a rock

A Sonic Rainboomless AU Pinkie would never have left the rockfarm and started throwing parties, earned her cutie mark and moved to ponyville.

She'd probobly still be with her amish-esque parents, farming rocks.

If I did a pony version of somebody and I wanted to rename them, I think I'd put more effort in to it than just a horse pun on their name. Like, Pony!Gaga could be Cosmos Beat or something.

I love my hat

#4943 Crowfall Mon, 29th Aug '11 8:55:07 PM

There's actually another Ask Pinkamena

that uses that as its premise. It looks like one of those one's that is mostly R Ping and less about art, so I'm hesitant to read it.

Eh, it's not as amusing.

That one's kind of meh. Not that great IMO. It's not that bad, there's just not really much to it. It's just another kind of generic Ask Blog

Still... I don't like Pinkemena. Not a fan of creepy.

Pinkie is fine though. Her reality warping antics amuse me.

#4947 Crowfall Mon, 29th Aug '11 9:43:27 PM

I usually hate creepy Pinkie. The Pinkamina blog is pretty much the one exception for me, and I'm not entirely sure why.

It might be the Scootaloo. She makes everything better.

Yeah, I usually don't care for creepy stuff like that, but Pinkamina's so amusingly psychopathic. Considering what she does, she somehow still manages to be affable.

and

:

The blog manages to make the characters likable even though they're talking about stuff like murder, rape and other such squicky things. How this works, at least in my opinion, comes down to 4 reasons:

1: With the exception of one picture, Pinkamena is hardly ever actually shown doing any of her "hobbies" (and even when she is, it's usually offscreen). Everything is implied instead of just straight up shown to you

2: Pinkamena doesn't treat the stuff she does as an obsession, but rather as little things she does in her spare time. If she were going on and on about how she is obsessed with doing all the stuff she talks about, I would imagine it would be a lot more disturbing. In a way, it's actually kind of interesting to see her treat all these horrendous things she does as no big deal

3: There are a fair bit of cute moments in the blog, and because the blog itself has a very dark, depressing, and creepy tone and subject matter, it makes the cute moments that much more cute in contrast. It just goes to show that if Fi M can make a cannibalistic, murderous, rapist psychopathic duo incredibly cute, it can make anything cute. ANYTHING

4: It's implied that Pinkamena and Scootaloo are totally aware of the fact that what they're doing is wrong, or at least what's considered by public opinion to be wrong. They just don't really care

The art is definitely another good part of it. I like the idea of making it pink, but a really dark, faded out pink, as the idea of the blog is essentially taking a happy, vibrant character (who is also noticeably very pink) and putting a dark, depressing spin on her

I love how Scootaloo is portrayed in this blog, she possibly more likeable than she is in the actual show (since she seems to lack her bossy attitude that she has in the show) If Scootaloo wasn't in it, this blog would only be half as cute as it is, especially since most of the cute scenes come from Pinkamena and Scootaloo's interactions. I like how Scootaloo's cheerful happy personality kind of goes against Pinkamena's depressing, emo personality
