Has anyone seen the new toys Hasbro released? I think this one speaks for itself.◊ Aside from the fact that Trixie now has a last name, they're pretty bad because of being nothing but a bunch of recolors.

That's...not Fluttershy.

Rainbowshy, or Flutterdash, maybe.

Maybe Hasbro is aware of all the shipping stories bronies are writing and that's supposed to be Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's kid. Alternatively, maybe Hasbro is just lazy. Lyra and Sapphire Shores were present as well, and both blatant Twilight recolors. I mean, the new blindbags are pretty much 90% recolors, but those are the only ones I know offhand that have actually appeared in the show and clearly don't look like that.

@Doctrine: I only know one fic that alludes to G1, Progress. For example, I know at least two G1 ponies that are in the story, Sundance and Firefly. Also, The Smooze is mentioned by Luna in a story. According to the author, G1 is the "storybook version" of actual events in Equestria history.

I saw a fanmade story for Amnesia: The Dark Descent called "The Small Horse". I'm not sure about the story itself, but from what I've seen from the gameplay clips...to tell the truth, I'm not sure if it has a story at all! It's mostly a bunch of nonsensical scares than anything else. I found them more funny than scary, though. Like at one point where two things briefly come out of the walls and shout "HELLO!" in what sounds like a German accent, and when you find a key in a bonfire in a cabinet and it plays a clip from the guy yelling at cats (I'M GOING TO RAPE YOU!!) when you grab it.

Oh, and Pinkie Pie shows up. NOT Pinkamena.

I love Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but that story doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in.

My Little Amnesia is pretty cool, though. Fluttershy's voice is spot on.

I'd also like to add that I'd actually be more afaid of Pinkie Pie leaping out of a dark corner at me than Pinkamena.

With Pinkamena, you know what to expect (she'll kill you and chop you up into teeny-tiny bits). With Pinkie...not so much.

She would throw you a party. With cake. And probably balloons, and streamers too.

And you gotta admit, that sounds better than being dismembered by a pink cannibal horse.

I also saw what appeared to be a mod that replaced Daniel with Fluttershy.

One last adjustment to the My Little Portal crosses I did. I decided to change Twilight to Chell and gave the Morality Core to Spike.

And I just realized I forgot to make one for the Fact Core!

Well, since Fact Core's a narcissist, I'll give that position to Trixie.

Parties can be pretty terrifying if you have a Social Anxiety disorder.

Also, keep in mind that it was Pinkie Pie who starred in Cupcakes, not Pinkamena. It was written before Party of One.

/trivia

That would mean that Pinkamena was never meant to exist or something along those lines.

As terrifying as nightmarish torture, though?

That reminds me, I wonder what happened when Pinkie met Fluttershy for the first time. I'm marveled that Fluttershy did not flee Poniville...

There are a lot of things that weren't meant to exist, but they do anyway.

Pinkamena was probably created the moment Cupcakes was posted online. The fact that we believe in her makes her real.

So very, very real...

Hehe. Maybe she just fled to her cottage for several days before she realized that Pinkie was mostly harmless. Is that a baby alligator?! So cute!]

I don't believe in Pinkamena like that, though. So that means she can't touch me!

But that doesn't mean I can't hate her. Right?

It's like we took the Loners Are Freaks trope and just flipped it over by making the most outspoken and outgoing character of the show into a psychotic threat...

THOSE WORDS ARE BLASPHEMY!

CUPCAKES DID NOT HAPPEN! PSYCHOTIC PINKIE DOES NOT EXIST!

Rule 43 of the Internet: The more beautiful and pure a thing is - the more satisfying it is to corrupt it.

Oh wait. I forgot that the more you hate something, the stronger it becomes (forgot that rule's number).

Same principle as the Windigoes, but minus everything freezing over.

But I'm guessing that exceptions can be made somewhere...

And I just confused myself. 9_6

@Karl: I find the title below your avatar somewhat worrying...

As for Pinkamena, the question is not whether you believe in her. The question is whether she believes in    YOU   .

What does that matter? She's a nothing! She doesn't even exist! Why would I care for that?

No offense to any Nobodies in the audience.

Neither does Pinkie, if we have to get technical. But that does not stop her from breaking the fourth wall

But kidding aside, I agree. Cupcakes was crappy fanfiction, and the whole "Ponicidial Pinkie" thing is overdone.

Haters gonna hate.

I don't mean it like that. What I meant is that those events never happened in canon or fanon (popular opinion be damned), and by extension, Killer Pinkie and Pinkamena do not exist.

I'm aware there are a number of Amnesia crossover fics. I wonder how many of them actually focus on the pitch-black atmosphere, the sense of isolation and not knowing what's around the corner... as opposed to how many of them are just "lol servant grunt."

Of all the alternate mane-styles the fandom ponies get, on the show I kind of liked post-apocolyptic Twilights mohawk-type thing most of all of them.
