Twilight asks Pinkie how she does all the stuff she does and Pinkie tries to explain it by explaining the nature of their world.
Inspired partially by the idea of CHIM from the Elder Scrolls games, one of the more meta things that doesn't crop up much in the games but very interesting.

Ah, CHIM. When you brought it up, I expected something a lot more deranged than what I actually got. The ideas are similar, but the language is a lot clearer and everything is explained to a much greater extent. But then, I expect a pony version of the 36 Lessons of Vivec or the Nu-Mantia Intercept wouldn't be appreciated by many people. Just imagine Pinkie saying such things..
"What is the Tower's Secret?
How to permanently exist beyond duplexity, antithesis, or trouble. This is not an easy concept, I know. Imagine being able to feel with all of your senses the relentless alien terror that is God and your place in it, which is everywhere and therefore nowhere, and realizing that it means the total dissolution of your individuality into boundless being. Imagine that and then still being able to say "I". The "I" is the Tower."
That seemed like a relevant passage. Anyway, it certainly wasn't badly written, even if it wasn't what I expected 
>>851775 what if mlp was the real world and we was made up to entertain THEM???????
SHIT! Whatever you do, don't tell Twilight about the matrix! She might just fry her brain!
FUDGE YES! I'm fine being the creation of a marshmallow-pony! Seriously, though, they must have some really dark minds to allow what happens in this world... screw it, i'm sticking with religion. Ponies can't be that evil.
I never really played Morrowind all the way through, but that bit of lore was really interesting. SO MUCH META. EVERYWHERE.
And that's why instead you're supposed to say it's more like a movie made about their lives. See, then they feel like they're important and don't go into existential crises.
Basic premise is a comic without a fourth wall, but with self-consistent rules. Less Pinkie Pie zanyness, more characters wondering if they exist, and debating their existence with the author. It's a grand total of 1,000 comics, not too huge a read.
Poor Pinkie. The characterization of Pinkie is good (not quite enough Twilight actually doing things to tell about her for sure) and I love the concept and the way she's not bothered by it- just that nopony else seems to be able to handle it.
As to what if FiM is real and we're imaginary.....
That wouldn't be too bad, I think. I could like it.
Anyway! Good ficlet. Keep writing!

This exactly how I would've imagined such a conversation going. Strongly reminds me of "Pinkie Pie is an Eldritch Abomination", but decidedly less dark.
