Pinkie Pie wakes up to find herself in a totally different situation than she expects, for she is no longer Pinkie Pie. She is bread. And bread has but one mission...

...she will become toast!


An unlikely crossover between Equestria Girls and I Am Bread.

♪Spider Bread, Spider Bread,
Does whatever it fucking wants.
Can it become toast?
No it can't, cause it sucks.
Look ouuut, it's the Spider Bread. ♫

Ahem. Blame TFS.

And it would—right up until a few months later, when Sunset Shimmer woke up with the preposterous notion that she was a professional wrestler.

But that, my friends is another story for another time.

It'd better fucking be! This was great!!! TEN MOUSTACHES!!!

:moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

Well, it seems Pinkie is a god of gaming, because no mere mortal can master "I am Bread"

Wow. Easily the deepest, most powerful I Am Bread crossover I've ever read. (Though I should note that while the Apple siblings have a cold, the furnace has a flue.) I do love stories that have some degree of magic in the human world. That rock farming exists in this world—among other things—says quite a lot. Thank you for this.

:facehoof: "Did Pinkie fall asleep in the breadbox again?"

I agree. That ending was not what I expected. Though this is the only I am Bread crossover or Fanfic I've ever read.

This is AMAZING! I laughed much too hard, and was hit by the unexpected feels train. Pinkie Pie's much too important :pinkiesad2: And do I detect a sequel with Sunset Shimmer? :trixieshiftright: Loved it! :heart:

5762403 that's what makes it the best! Ahem. Anyway, the story was very entertaining. I only wish I was bread of this caliber. Praise to Pinkie for she is best bread!

At first I just thought "Pinkie's having a whacked up dream isn't she?" Because I don't know I Am Bread. Was surprised. 10/10 would bread again.

Sunset Shimmer could totally own Brie Bella.

Sunset Shimmer as a Pro wrestler? That could be awesome.

Reminiscent of Kafka at the height of his powers.

WHATCHA GONNA DO, SISTER, WHEN SHIMMERMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU?!

5765067 Umm... It would be appreciated if you got my gender correct. I'm a guy, please and thank you.

Feh, bagels are so much better! :raritywink:

5765166
Oh... actually, I'd only considered the likely gender of Wrestle!Shimmer's hypothetical opponent(s) and hadn't even thought that it might be read as directed at you specifically. Probably should've put it in quotation marks. Mea culpa.

5765586 Ah. Sorry for sounding like an absolute dickstain.

Furnace demons inhabited by vengeful ghosts who want to burn peoples it had mind-controlled into thinking that they're bread.

And yet, it's nowhere near the strangest story I've read. :pinkiecrazy:

Her last launch was almost a failure. She didn’t think it possible that she would be caught on the cake dome, but even when she was, there was no stopping bread. Bread was a marvelous thing, as was being bread, and because Pinkie was bread, she could become toast, which she aimed to do because she was bread. Bread.

Oh, please tell me that Pinkie Bread is going to find the rocket! Oh please, oh please, oh please!

to Sonata, it sounded like a grocery list for Martians

Wait a second, what do martians eat anyway?

She turned her eye to the robin. “Williams, you’re up first. Go right ahead.”

AW! DUDE! Man, the feels of that joke. They hurt! :applecry: Although, it was pretty funny too. Good way to remember. :moustache:

Please tell me you'll make a sequel where Rainbow wakes up thinking she's a baguette! I really want to see that one! :scootangel:

Oh, and the pro wrestler one. That one too please.

Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.

5761493 That's Team Four Star, right?

Wow, it's been two weeks on this fic and I haven't even responded to any of the lovely comments I got on it. I have to apologize, as I've been super busy lately and will likely remain super busy these next few weeks. Preparing for another move will do that to ya.

5761493

For some reason, this comment makes me think of the Tick theme song.

DAH DWEEEEEE, DAH DAH DAH DWEEEEE DAOW

5761543

Maybe I'll write it, but most likely not. I don't normally do any sequels for these one-shots. I remember promising sequels to stuff like This Is the Most Absurd Sweetie Belle X Spike Shipfic You Will Ever Read, and after months of trying to match the unique greatness of the original and failing, just quietly giving up. So when I write a one-shot... chances are, that's all it's ever gonna be.

5761799

Why not? She's good at everything else.

5761995

You're very welcome for it, too. Knew I was spelling that wrong...

5762403
5762449
5762910

That ending was pretty unexpected, but that's what I liked about it most.

5764281

Well, what would you name a robin?

5769445

The Metamorphosis actually was a big influence on the story. Thanks for noticing!

5768678

That makes me wonder what the strangest one WAS.

5827610 The list is rather long... there was the one with the human getting it on with both parts of the Headless Horse... and then losing his head... and going to different dimensions to find various parts and swapping parts and... then it got retconned and rewritten because even the author lost track of what the heck was going on. :rainbowhuh:

Then there was AJ in the one where she... did... a thing... to Big Mac... with her giant schlong... while they were rollerblading... :applejackconfused:

And then I recall that... other one. Which I don't want to talk about. At all. :fluttershbad:

Now to wait for the sequel/spin-off, 'Twi am Pancake.'

6581045

Sorry to burst your bubble, bud, but there will never be a sequel. It was a fun idea, very entertaining, and I don't think I have anything else to add.

5828355
6581538
You mean to say you won't write the one where Sunset acts as a professional wrestler?

Well then... And to think that this girl couldn't be any more random... I was wrong.

Again.

That was really great thank you. From beginning to the end I was like "wat... wat da fuk is that...". It was really interesting, thank you very much :D. I wanted to know the ending of the story badly, so it was really interesting. Not boring at all. And that ending, jeez. It was so good. Unexpected and awesome ending. Good job :pinkiehappy:

Name of Story: Pie Am Bread by Brony_Fife

Grammar Score: 8 / 10

Rated so for a few errors here and there, but nothing that distracts from the overall writing.

Pros:

Good comedy, with decent slapstick

Has a rather ridiculous premise, but treats it appropriately

Potent Imagery

Cons:

A few tense switches throughout

The ending feels a little out of place

Notes:

Spoilers Ahead:

This is a strange story. Of course, it’s influenced by a strange game, so that’s appropriate. This story sees Pinkie Pie wake up one morning thinking she’s a slice of bread and needs to become toast. Based on the video game I am Bread.

So, the first point in its favor. This story is funny. Pinkie Pie is known for her breaking of physics and mixing that with the already flawed physics of a rage game is a recipe for surreal and hilarious consequences. From the way she moves around the world, to the reactions of those around her, this story can draw out the comedy of the situation in a pleasing manner.

This second point might sound a little odd to say. This story is ridiculous, but the author is fully aware that it’s ridiculous. They lean into the ridiculousness of it. That total embrace of the strangeness of the story adds a meta element to the story, that makes the read much more enjoyable.

I don’t read much comedy, so it’s difficult for me to say whether comedies are known for their imagery. Still, this story plays with the scenes incredibly well. My favorite example is a drainage ditch that Pinkie must cross, believing it to be a sink. Though I read the story last night, I still remember the description of the muddy water, calling it a stew. It’s repulsive, which is the intent. Imagery like this helps make a story feel alive.

As for the cons, the first is just a grammatical issue, really. However, a tense switch can really break the flow of a story. It was a rare occurrence I only noticed once or twice, but those few times brought the story to a screeching halt for me. I can be rather weird with tenses, though, so there’s a decent chance that it won’t bother a normal reader.

The last gripe I have is with the ending. Like to my first con, this is more of a nitpick than an actual issue. The ending of this story turns grim rather quickly. There’s a single line about Sunset studying ghosts and spirits halfway through the story. At the end, we find out one of these spirits is what has convinced Pinkie that she is bread and tries to trick her into throwing herself into the school boiler to kill herself. Disregarding the debate of whether Pinkie Pie is even capable of dying, this ending felt a little strange to suddenly introduce this new element. If I remember correctly, though, the game also had a similar darkness hidden in it, with the character going crazy believing his bread is sentient, so it still kind of fits the narrative. It didn’t really bother me, but it’s just something to note.

Overall, I would argue that good comedy is tough to write. This one manages to pass the test though and offers a story just a silly and surreal as a story about a person being bread can be. If you’ve played I Am Bread, you probably know what I mean. I would also like to say that all my controllers survived reading the story, so it’s already caused less property damage than the game. Well done, Author. I tip my cap to you.

Enjoy your review!

She turned her eye to the robin. “Williams, you’re up first. Go right ahead.”

A robin named Williams :ajsmug:?..
Robin Williams, anyone :rainbowlaugh:?!

Sentence: beautiful :rainbowkiss:!
Ten out of ten would recommend!
