The Cuddler is on the loose!

He is wanted for such crimes as head pats, ear scritches, mane and coat brushing, back scratches...and the worst of all, belly rubs!

Princess Celestia has put one million bit bounty for information that leads to the apprehension of The Cuddler.

Unicorn Quick Caper and his much larger Earth pony pal Mugger, have had it with constantly having their schemes thwarted by the savvy law enforcement of Manehatten.

So when they hear about a fair-sized hamlet out in the middle of nowhere, stuck right beside the Everfree Forest and the main city of Canterlot, they see this as the perfect opportunity to snag some quick bits from the unsuspecting rubes that travel between the Forest and the way to Canterlot.

What could be more simple?! Avoid those pesky, nosy Bearers, lie in wait along the Road, jump out and surprise anypony with enough bits! With Caper's brains and Mugger's muscle, they'd soon be rolling in cash! Profit!

What follows is a re-telling of possibly the craziest week in Equestria's history. Most remember as the Week of Wackiness, but Twilight Sparkle has her own name for it.

The week where Celestia went crazy.

One fateful day, a simple man is ripped from his comfortable bed, and is swung across realities into a world not his own and a body eerily familiar to him.

He now has the eldritch powers of a certain pink earth pony. What will he do with said power? Only time will tell.

The shitposting and references have been doubled!

Thanks for the feature! 7/5/24 - 11/5/24 And nearly the top of popular!
Holy moly, featured again right after posting chapter 2. Thank you.

Derpy explains her medical condition to her daughter.

When Sam opened his eyes, ready to start his first morning as a college student, the last thing he expected was to find himself in an unfamiliar bedroom, in the equally unfamiliar form of Princess Celestia.

Now trapped in a body teeming with an enormous amount of power and an equally enormous set of responsibilities and worries, Sam needs to get to the bottom of things before Equestria's enemies realize Celestia is not herself and take the advantage.

Dear Twilight, my most faithful student. DO NOT READ THIS LETTER.
For the betterment of everypony you love and care about do not read or take anything in this letter seriously.

To: Twilight Sparkle
From: Twilight Sparkle

This story is interactive, in order to read everything and get both sides of the story you need to turn on or turn off dark mode on the site its self, also be warned secret text is really small so sorry you need to work for your sweet sweet LORE.

Or you could be a complete jerk and just highlight it with your curser and ruin all the work I did.

WARNING: The interactive part of this story may not work if you are reading on mobile sorry.

First read with dark mode on then after you are done reading, turn off dark mode and read it again.

(This was made for the dialogue only contest.)

I like my act in this, but really I am way more than my creator makes me out to be.

Raindrops is a rainloving mare and often ostracized for her love until she meets Ponyvilles resident human. The two bond over their love of the rain to her surprise.

After a long day of selling carrots, Carrot Top relaxes in her house with a carrot cake muffin without incident.

What you just read was a complete fabrication.

Note: There is a fic here for you to read, but it will be improved upon by me sometime. I can't promise when I will do so, but I can promise that I will.
(Big thanks to -TheStoryteller- for writing the semi-canon Chapter 2, and to TotalOverflow for giving me some very helpful criticism. Go check out those guys.)

Credit for Carrot Top's characterization goes to previous stories I've read about her by Blue Cultist, Meta Four, and Knight Breeze (as well as my own thoughts). I recommend the stories which include her by those authors wholeheartedly.

(Oh, and I have to mention the inspiration for the story itself, which was these excellent comics. The actual sources to the comics are linked in that blog post as well.)

Cover image from this Recipe Website.

Nighmare Moon was banished for one thousand years. She had more than enough time to plan her return. Every aspect was intricately planned down to the letter, for maximum dramatic effect to instil sufficient terror in her future subjects that they would bow down without question.

At least, that was how the plan was supposed to go.
