//------------------------------// // Fluttershy turns into Margaret Thatcher // Story: Don't Eat Weasels! // by Super Trampoline //------------------------------// There is a reason that you are taught in grade school not to eat weasels. It is not because most ponies are vegetarians, for young gryphons and ocelots are taught the same thing. Fluttershy unfortunately never went to school past second grade because extensive bullying drove her to fake chronic illness so she could avoid the bullying at school. She was subsequently home schooled and to this day has to pretend she can't fly well in order to keep up the sickly appearance. I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere. Anyway, Fluttershy never learned this lesson, and so in the previous chapter ate a weasel. But just as some cows carry "mad cow disease"--weird corruptive proteins called "prions" that will fuck shit up in your brain and are kind of similar to viruses in a weird way--so too some weasels care "mad weasel disease". And this mad weasel disease comes about when you eat a weasel's pituitary gland--the seat of all weasel consciousness. Unfortunately, Fluttershy had indeed done just that, as she ate the entire weasel brain on account of being hungry. And when one eats an infected weasel brain, one turns into Margaret Thatcher. Inasmuch, Fluttershy turned into the Iron Lady. Uh oh, that can't be good!
