Jes' a word, to y'all zero-star leavers...
The guideline is always to 'write what you know'. Stephen King explained that a lil' better by saying it's write what the HEART knows. I did not write the original fic, but something in it was so hard to shake- and I cannot apologize for letting my heart try to find a way out of that hell, that wasn't handwavin' or childish. I only wrote what my heart knew, when trying to salvage the broken world of that notorious fic.
If your heart can't know this, you shouldn'ta ever read Cupcakes in the first place, much less an attempt to seriously ground it in the canon MLP universe (a hopelessly heartbreakin' task from the start)... and I'm a lil' envious, 'cos your heart's probably more comfortable to live in than mine.
Go ahead and say/rate what you will. I regret nothin'. I still love this fic and will stand by it.
my heart, it broke. as in shattered into ten thousand pieces and blew away in the wind broke.
grand kudos to the author, for you have made me feel for something that once caused nightmares.
To Be Continued In:Mega Mare Pinkie (Mega Man Zero Ponyfyied)
For me, this story has two parts: the shipping and the plot. The shipping I could have done without, but it's not poorly done.
The plot was an incredible take on the story; explaining the numbers, the attitude, and the part that goes beyond the picture.
I think the zero-stars are for not just jumping in at the point where your derail diverges. There's no need to recap most of Cupcakes, and quite frankly, if you did change anything, I didn't notice because I just went forward to where I thought you started writing.
:3 me likes....a lot...
Seemingly,
Another has been urged to salvage what has been lost.
That thing inside which was tainted.
What mayhaps I lack so dearly.
Only had what drove you to do this,
I may understand in it's entirety:
you have tried to save it when it is too late.
Good job.
I applaud your endeavor to try and find a way to save them, however the ending has a far sweeter and innocent feel to it than expected...something, necessary.
It's just as I've feared; all my manly tears have been used up. I see that this was very touching and sad, but for some reason, even though I know I probably should have cried, I just didn't. A few months ago, a fic like this would have had me choking back tears, but now there's nothing.
i truly loved this alt ending fic. i like how you tried to make what pinkie had done not her. that was nice of you. tiny bit gross with the larva though O_o.
the aftermath made me cry. asking to not be shown mercy. you took a really gory story that had barely any storyline and actually gave it depth, which is hard to do. especially with grimdark stories.
i applaud you sir ^^ yet another good story :']
derpy
To be honest, I would have much prefered a suicide. What you did was great in all with the saviour thing which didn't really work out too much in the end, but still I liked it regardless. I really wish you had done a scene with Pinkie in however, just her by herself in which you explore her mind, it could have been interesting.
As far as writing goes, I would have appreciated a bit more description used, particularly in the Applejack-Rainbowdash scene as it was almost entirely composed of speech.
Also, one little, teeny tiny thing which I want to bring up, 'You are what you eat, thought Dash. No, focus!' Facing death, forced past her limits, slowly bleeding out, in the eyes of a maniac, and the the thoughts that come to her head are 'you are what you eat'...Really?
Regardless, this was a enjoyable Fic to read.

That's what I love about Dash, not easily daunted

Doctor: "I'm sorry, Ms. Dash, but the damage is too extensive. We've done everything we can. You have at most, half a month left to live."
Much older Rainbow Dash, scars over her body, including ones Pinkie Pie didn't give her, wings still missing: "...."
Doctor: "I'm sorry I cannot do anything else for you."
RD: *raspy voice* "I'm sure you did everything you could. However, there is one thing I'd like you to do."
Doctor: "Of course, anything."
RD: "Fetch Spike for me. I have an audience to request."
*much later, in Canterlot.*
Celestia: "Are you absolutely certain about this? There's still time to change your-."
RD: *raises a hoof, smiles, and shakes her head "no"*
Celestia: "Are you positive this is what's best for HER?"
RD: "Are you really asking me that after Applejack did it first?"
Celestia: "That makes it worse, dear Rainbow Dash. I just don't want you to feel pressured into doing it by the actions of your-"
Luna: *places a hoof on Celly's shoulder* "Sister, don't you think it's a little late for second thoughts?" *waves hoof to indicate large procession of Rainbow Dash's friends and family, including an adult Scootaloo standing next to the Wonderbolts.*
Celestia: "I'm just...seeing a pattern in the recent events over the years. What I would've given for you to live full, normal lives."
Rainbow: "Maybe we're cursed. But somehow, I really can't think of anything that would be a better use of our time than this."
Celestia: "If that's the case...you'd better get in position, then."
Rainbow: *rolls her wheelchair over to a pedestal, which she climbs, and gingerly leans on the two statues present for support.* "I'm not going to say goodbye everypony. Because I'm not really going away. I'm going to be with my friends, and you can always visit us right here, anytime!"
Scootaloo: "I'll visit everyday, Rainbow Dash!"
Rainbow: *laughs* "Hey, don't you have a career or something? And kids you're trying to keep in touch with on a semi-daily basis?"
Scootaloo: "Aw, it doesn't matter.
I'm the second fastest flyer in Equestria ever! I can be here and there before anypony knows I'm gone. I'll just drop in, say hi, and go back."
Rainbow: "You can't be a fangirl forever, you know."
Scootaloo: "Can't I? I'm going to join you up there one day."
Twilight Sparkle: "That podium is going to get pretty full..."
Rainbow: *imitating Pinkie Pie* "Oh! Maybe we could do a pony pyramid! hahaha...*coughs up blood*...ugh..."
*Crowd gasps, moves closer to Dash, Rarity gives out a terrified "Darling!"*
Rainbow: *raises her head* "Ugh...that's my cue, everypony. It seems to be happening faster than the Docs thought."
Fluttershy: "Rainbow, w-we have to get you inside and back in bed right now!"
Rainbow: "NO! No, thank you Fluttershy. Thank all of you. You're all wonderful, I love you all. But...I'm going to do what I came here to do." *Nuzzles one of the statues which is of an earth pony with bandages all over her face, places a hoof on the other statue's cheek* "Hey, cheer up a little, okay?"
Celestia: "Are you ready, Rainbow Dash?"
Rainbow: "Wait." *shifts her position, trying to hold both statues close to her, as if she didn't want either one to think she loved them less than the other* There we go... Come and visit us, alright, everypony? I won't be lonely, but I do feel bad that I don't have more time to speak with all of you. *cough* Ugh...fire away Princess.."
Celestia: *nods, horns starts to glow* "Rainbow Dash, like all the bearers of the Elements, you have saved Equestria from multiple dangers and endured many hardships. We honor your service and sacrifice to all of Equestria, as we see you off. While unconventional, your choice here today speaks volumes of the depths of your loyalty, and the strength of your friendship. And may your presence help your friend find peace as well." *releases her spell*
Rainbow Dash: *smiles at the crowd* "Thank you, everypony! Thank you for understanding me and Applejack! I'll always be with you, too!" *nuzzles the statues, whispers* "And Pinks, don't you dare feel guilty about this either."
Everypony: *falls silent, staring at the pedestal holding the statues of Rainbow Dash and Applejack, both holding Pinkie Pie.*
Because that's what my heart knows, as well.

Aw- you derailed my derail. I hate to think of Applejack and Dash dying (wonder what happened to AJ? ouch!) but wow.
That's beautiful and very much in the spirit of what I was trying to do. Welcome to my headcanon
284971 Oh My. I'm honored. It just came to me as I was reacting to the story.
(Now if only I could focus on writing my own story for more than 5 minutes a day. Somepony help me!)
I've made some...slight changes to what I wrote. Mostly just grammar and sentence structure changes, but I also deleted the part where Spike had a "hill". Originally, I thought to make it with a 160-year old Rainbow Dash, but I decided to change that little factoid after I had some difficulty picturing the "funereal" scene with a Dash that far in the future, so I made it more like eight to ten years in the future. But some details I forgot to edit along with this change. Spike would probably be bigger at this point, but not by much. Probably he'd be in his lanky pony-sized form or something.
Assuming that dragons can even age without treasure hoards...."Secret of my Excess" confuses me so much...
Although...they aren't dead. Well, not yet. (Kenobi reference?
) I haven't spelled out EXACTLY what happened to Mummyjack, or what's wrong with Rainbow Dash, but I generally meant for Applejack to still be conscious when she was petrified, and Celestia herself said that she "wouldn't give Pinkie a death she didn't deserve." Right now, all three of them have....time.
Together.
I...well...
Yes. Just yes.
Pinkamina's redemption.
Just...thank you.
Very well done.
why arent you on EQD yeah its that good.
now i go back to read your clop fics.
2302490
I am on EqD. The only thing I ever submitted to them (I think) was 'The Old Castle'. It was the first pony thing I ever wrote, and it ran on EqD
Funnily enough I got more music on there—three songs and just the one (multi-chapter) story. I gotta get some art on there and I'll have a hat trick
284852
Interesting. Beautiful. And Sad. RD was logical in this tragic tale. But what was AJ's reason for doing this?
2379245 First of all we have to deal with this important matter.:
*Ahem hem*
......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!STOPFOLLOWINGME!
(Well, actually, this post is ancient, so its not as creepy this time. Its starting to make me believe that you in fact HAVE NOT invented Internet-stalking technology. Additionally: Huh.
I thought you didn't really like Cupcakes stories. )
Okay, now that that's out of the way, I first of all have to say that I'm not entirely certain what the question is.
I mean, I get that its "Why did Applejack decide to turn herself to stone alongside Pinkie Pie?", but you could be confused on a few different levels.
You could be asking:
"Why did Applejack decide to do this instead of dying from her injuries and being buried with her family and ancestors?"
"Why did Applejack decide to do this for Pinkie, after she was the staunchest and most unforgiving condemner of her actions?"
And perhaps the biggest question of all: "Why didn't Applejack at least do this after she was officially dead? She had to have given up at least some time to live and perhaps some chance of a miraculous recovery?"
Well, its been a long, long time since I wrote this, but I think the answer to all those questions, especially the big one, is simply this:
Its BECAUSE AJ had some life left in her that she realized she could be there to tell Pinkie....
"I forgive you."
Now, how and why Applejack forgave her is left kind of ambiguous, but I always figured it was when Applejack either knew she didn't have much longer to live, or was having trouble living with her injuries. (How she got her injuries was also ambiguous. But, compared to Pinkie Pie getting a parasprite STUCK IN HER BRAIN...)
She could've told the statue to its perpetually miserable face that she was forgiven...but that opens more questions.
How aware is Pinkie Pie?
How will Pinkie even listen to AJ's words, as opposed to just getting sadder and downright hysterical with self-loathing if they can't have a real conversation? How would AJ even know?
Have the others been visiting? If not, has Applejack been influencing their behavior? Is Applejack really going to die knowing that for all she knows, Pinkie will always think that in truth, all of her friends died hating her?
What if all the love in the world (for one brief moment) cannot offset an eternity of loneliness?
What if Pinkie is unfrozen one day, only be all alone?
Come to think of it, should she be alone?
So...Applejack has the idea. And then...she's in her twilight days, with the idea staring her in the face 24/7.
It....really shouldn't be that great of a leap.
A certain ponyfic I read said: "Those who deserve kindness the least are the ones who -need- it the most." Well...Pinkie does deserve it. She's both technically innocent of her crimes, and repentant in the extreme.
(I mean...technically, its parasprites that deserve AJ's grudge. Hell, this just became canon: Applejack got hurt taking the extermination of parasprites from the face of the world a wiiiiddle bit too far.
Protip: Never hire Snips and Snails, even adult versions of them, to work heavy machinery. Especially the kind made for pest genocide.)
2392315
Okay, that makes sense. So they wanted Pinkie Pie to have company for her eternity, got it.
2392436 Well...yeah. I mean, why exactly DID you think Rainbow Dash signed up for it, if not for that?
2392456
Just meant AJ letting go of her hate enough to want to spend forever with Pinkie.
I can see AJ holding grudges because well she just a vengeful pony in my eyes. if you piss her off you better run fast. i love how you write Applejack i noticed in almost every cupcakes alt ending she is the first to be HHHHAATTTEEEE on pinkie.
I think you mean smoke. Steam is water vapor, smoke is what you get after burning something.
I think you mean 'ponies', not people.
Really nice alternate ending, the idea of a parasprite affecting pinkies brain is really clever as well, great job
Your ending picture failed on my screen. Can you send me a link instead?
6030616 Pretty sure it is just the story image again: scroll up
Not bad. Been looking at it for a few weeks. As always I love the Apple Dash relationships and the conclusion made me have feels. The first half is kinda plagarism but I understand you needed the reference and the whole Pinkies head and brain opening was kinda BS without her facing massive blood loss and extensive trauma not to mention infections and all because Twilight isn't exactly a trained surgeon.
But, I digest. Good story and characters were well played after the whole "copy paste" section.
The feels...
But Rainbow Dash don't cry...
Nope! I lied!
