Roobles


T

I lost a friend today. Slain in cold blood, and left upon a Ponyville road. I don't know what sort of monster would do this, but I need to find out. For vengeance? Sure. That's part of it. But also because my hide might be next on the slab.

Somepony killed my friend today, and I need to know why.

The topic for today is death. Study carefully, because it's going to be on the exam.

I also broke my only rule with this story. I wrote Pinkie Pie. :pinkiesad2:

Haven't read it yet, but that description sounds suspiciously like watchmen...:rainbowhuh:

I didn't think of that. But now that you've pointed it out, I can't unsee it. :pinkiesad2:

EDIT:
I assure you that it doesn't contain any big blue penises though, if that's a concern.

I almost died laughing at that edit. No that hadn't been on my mind.
Still, now I hope Pinkie dies, just so i can point out more references to that great movie. Who would be a better "comedian"?

In Big Mac's defense, that doll is pretty cute.

Aye. I completely agree. I thought that Smarty Pants was really cute, and was actually delighted to see Big Mac run off with her. The narrator just happens to be a judgmental dickbag.

I figured we were heading to this sort of an ending from chapter 2, although I did not see the lizard coming.

It does help if you read the first three chapters in Jackie Haley's voice.

May I ask what gave it away? Also, clearly this means my stories need to be more absurd then. :pinkiecrazy:

Nothing in particular, it's just the protagonist was drawing all these grimdark/noir/paranoid conclusions for no reason. It was funny.
There was a minute in chapter four where I thought Rarity was actually going to get murdered, and thought, "wow, I didn't think Roobles had it in him." So I guess there's a certain amount of me just being a "judgmental dickbag" in there too.

Ah. Well, for what it's worth, in my headcannon that's how Gummy's mind operates. Something about his vacant expressions and aptitude for violence makes me believe he's a little off kilter, and often conspiring to kill the ponies around him.

You're pretty correct in your judgment though. I do have some plans for muder and gore in a couple of the stories I have in my head, but there isn't yet an intersection of the two, and a lot of the implementation may be unconventional. I don't really ever see myself writing a gore porn fic.

Finally got around to read it today. Great story :rainbowlaugh: but I had it kinda all figured out at certain pointers in the story...
If you like this sort of thing, and haven't watched Lucky #Slevin yet, go watch it. That's a movie for you.:pinkiesmile:
And oh... Pinkie didn't die :pinkiesad2: lucky her... *sitting in his chair, stroking his cat evilly, thinking "give her time, give her time..."*

....Gummy!?

Wow, he must be one of those mythical sewer alligators considering how much of a potty mouth he has
(Hee-Hee, I'm sorry but that joke was just begging to be made)

And it seems he doesn't know how big the second biggest rock she ever found was

I actually laughed out loud for that. Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean by your second comment though.

Thanks for reading it. I tried to find a happy medium between dropping hints and still having a twist at the end. My hope was that the concept was absurd enough that folks would get blindsided, despite all the clues.

I'll take a peek at that movie though; I'm always open for suggestions on decent films.

And no, I don't ever want to kill Pinkie Pie. She's one of the few ponies that survives my main storyline unscathed. :pinkiesad2:

:rainbowlaugh:

I figured during chapter 2 that the narrator was clearly out of his head and seeing a noir conspiracy that didn't actually exist, but revealing him to be Gummy and his "revenge" being just a nuisance? Well played, author, well bloody played.

just a nuisance...

Hey, he tried his best. He's still scrappy for a little fellar.

the real mystery was trying to figure out who the victim was as well as the narrator

Very impressive. The character makes me care and squirm at the same time. I applaud you.

Wow, more and more I find myself wondering how much of this is just the main characters insane hallucinations.

*facepalms* oh god. I think I love you....

He's just a little bit... imaginative. :pinkiecrazy:
