Twilight Sparkle always does things. Today, she's not going to do anything.
I don't know what made me come up with this.
Thanks to Timaeus and Majin Syeekoh for prereading!

I heartily recommend reading this work of fanfiction.
I will never look at calzones the same way again.
Also, your Pinkie Pie is a delight to read.
... Oh, you son of a bitch.
I can see this wouldn't have happened if Pinkie Pie had simply purchased the monkey's paw like __most__ people who visit that particular gift shop. For pete's sake, you have an ability shop that puts Curious Goods, Warehouse 13, Spells R' Us, and Lyra's Lost and Found emporium to shame; and the only thing anyone ever picks up is the mummified monkey paws. I don't even think they belong to actual monkeys. I think Discord makes them in his basement using paper clips and plastiscine.
More to the point, throwing out the book would cause more problems. I wouldn't accuse any of the CMC's of being dumpster divers, but has anyone considered the ramifications of Scootaloo playing street angel or parasprite, coming across this thing, and thinking "Gee, this looks fun!" My understanding is you can't un-fire a gun, so why would you put a loaded weapon in trash can when you could hand it over to the authorities. You know, like maybe an expert on magic or something.
This wins all the everythings. XD
You have won the Fimfiction.net award for most bester story I've readed in a while.
The title was in no way misleading. Have a thumbs up.
Well, technically Twilight didn't do anything, but I was expecting it to be a story about how Twilight wasn't doing anything. Not this. I liked it, but still... not this.
6336611 Just one problem: It's Pinkie.
Boo. We have no reason to believe your assertion of Twilight's inactivity is accurate in any way, shape, or form.
I....
Huh.
Yup.
She really didn't do anything. ....I guess?
Still, upvoted. Nice to see an original idea.
I read this at lunch today, sooo... thanks for that.
A clever bit of silliness.
Glim reference? If so,
Well, it certainly doesn't even approach deserving that "Dark" tag. But it was cute.
B-but if she stayed at home, didn't she do something?
Amazing way to name a story.
And what a fun story it was! The moment you said it had many apostrophes I knew you were referring the Cthulhu mythos
Yeah, I'm with 6338731 on the not needing the Dark tag bit.
That cookbook must have come from Garth's kitchen. (Obscure reference go!)
A fun little story, worth the read.

I get a little overly cautious with my tags sometimes
I figured a bit of the imagery might have been a little unsettling. This story actually originally had a gore tag because of the ending, but I got some second opinions from my prereaders about that.
6339393
Summoning nameless things from the beyond might be unsettling, but not worth the Dark tag.
Frozen dismemberment of a pony, or any of the other sapient species that abound on Equrestia, would warrant a Dark, and probably Gore, tag.
Frozen dismemberment of a shambling calzone monster is comedy. Hay, it's probably something they could get away with on the actual show without having to change ratings.
As for the girls being attacked by said monster, that is something they've done on the show. Worse even, since we've seen the girls get hurt before and here they dodged everything and delt with the monster in sort order.
What I'm saying here is that after I read the story and thought "Wait, wasn't there a Dark tag?" I don't think it warrants a Dark tag.
6339521
Yeah, you're probably right about that. Just my trigger-happiness with my tags, I s'pose
6339521 But it does have a name!
May I do a reading on this?
6339797
Sure! Good luck with the pronunciation of a certain part though
6339680
I actually went back and looked again for what Pinkie said to summon the thing and you are correct, it does indeed have a name.
For me "summoning nameless things" is sort of a catch-all terms, regardless of if what is being summoned has or lacks a name.
If you can not pronounce or think the word does it really count as a name?

<<Insert Weird-Al "Trigger Happy" video link here>>
Nothing wrong with over tagging something to be safe before people look at it. The Dark tag turns some people away though, which is understandable, that is what it is for after all. But this should be read by a lot of people.
This was funny and interesting. And unexpected. I figured it would be Twilight insisting that she doesn't do anything, so her friends keep trying to get her to do something.
That satanic ritual caught me by surprise.
6339800
Oh, joy. =_= :P
Thanks you, Twinkletail! :D
6339810 Well, for someone to be able to name something, said someone must be able to think it. If SOMEONE can think it, then it is a name.
6339832
No problem! Thank YOU for wanting to do a reading!
All of my wats
Original to the extreme, I would say
I facepalmed at this point thinking I know where this is going but then I thought "Hold on, this is Pinkie ! Even in a Pinkie Pie Vs Yog-Sothoth title fight the bookies would only give you even odds."
One for the Favourites shelf.
Well... that certainly was a story!
Not bad, either. While I don't subscribe to the interpretation that Pinkie's so oblivious as to go through all that without at least questioning it, it does work for comedy. Moreover, it was a delight to see her take charge of the situation, as well as them working together to defeat the villain du jour. Carried out perfectly. Mad props to you.
And the title was fairly accurate, as Twilight didn't show up to solve everything on her own, or even show up at all. In fact, it would probably be even better if they didn't mention her absence either, so as to completely remove her presence from the story. Although then readers might get the idea that she was there and they just missed her lines. Hmm... yeah, whatever.
Well that was amazing, haha. xD An absolute treat to read, and played with my expectations wonderfully!
A fascinating foray into the psychology behind the human's ability to develop senses of expectation and entitlement, all with a humorous (sub...?)plot that strengthens the arguments you are making. Well-written, well-thought-out, and well-executed. You have my respect.

A fantastical story overall. 8 out of 10 pointy-butt glam badges/glitter biscuits.
Beautiful, beautiful piece of work. Twilight has completely embodied Spike's role.
Quite the funny MLP:FiM story with Cthulhu-lian overtones. Excellent way to take the overpowered magic user out of the equation, too. I can imagine Twilight coming by Sugarcube Corner later and dropping a Luna-esque, "Hello, everypony. Did I miss anything?"
I must say, I was really expecting "Hasta la vista, baby," instead of, "Chill out," at the end. I also expected the Calzossus to melt and reform like the T-1000 did.
I've been watching T2 too much.
That was very fun to read. My favorite part was the part where ponies other than Twilight did things.
i enjoyed this story, but i found this hard to read, and skimmed over it without digesting any of the words. I think you could organize your paragraphs better by giving character speaking roles their own paragraph instead of squishing it together. Most stories do that and it works surprisingly well.
For a short 2k word story, it was very well paced, with a very good build up and correctly matched climax. However, i didn't really get a layout of the room, no picture came into my head about what is going on. When i was picturing things, it was very vague, characters interacting on a white plane at best. I think you do need to work on scenery, and painting a vivid picture of what is going on.
On a lighter note, i did enjoy the mane five's interactions with each other. though the dialogue wasn't spread out enough for me to get a genuine picture of what character is like. It felt that the character fit slightly into their assigned roles with minimal screen time, very resourceful.
I really liked Twilight's pivotal role in this story, she fulfilled her leadership role and was characterized very well by the author
7.6/10 very well executed, with few to moderate revisions needed.

15/10 would recommend because of Twilight's intense story contribution.
Also, your punny pun was very punny.
-Sanity is overrated
6339962 i always wanted to do a story about Pinki Pie drinking a monster drink but idk how i would set it up any ideas? Also that was a great story
6339200
there's a rule 63 version of this song.
I had a story up a year back called "Twilight does a thing". I like to believe this is that fic's long lost cousin. It's at least it's antithesis.
ooooo...kay then.
...that was a thing that happened.
...well played.
I just came here to read about Twilight Sparkle doing things
very disappointed
but it doesn't do, it doesn't do anything
Definitely not what I was expecting, but such a well-executed action sequence is far from disappointing. Loved the rutabaga bit, too.
Well.
Alright then.
