Dear Anon,

I hope your past letter was cathartic to write as Pinkie Pie seems to be causing you a good deal of stress by merit of.. Well, Pinkie's antics are such that there are a few researchers that have suggested she's a visiting chaos deity from another plane. We don't put very much weight into those theories, partially because we don't want to acknowledge they might be right. Nopony laughs too loudly when they come up, either.

If I may make a suggestion, take comfort from the idea that Pinkamena Diane Pie is one of the most benign ponies you'll ever meet and be grateful that her capabilities are used for, rather than against, others.

Your friend,
Celestia







Dear Pinkie Pie,

I feel that perhaps nopony has taken the time to explain this: Pinkie, your special abilities which allow you to, for example: enter a room despite all entrances being locked and warded; produce a baked good which requires an hour to produce in five minutes; or ride a slide in reverse; are abilities which most ponies either do not possess, or are not aware they possess. When a pony stares and asks a question you think to be obvious or strange, consider that it may, in fact, be  a case of you having done something which another pony (or otherwise) believes to be impossible.

I am aware it is possible, by merit of the fact that you could do it. I am not debating this.

However, many ponies, when their view of reality is challenged suddenly and significantly, react with distress, and not in the variety usually reserved for pranks. I would of course never suggest you don't do your very best to live up to your cutiemark and your desires to see others happy and well, but perhaps you could, when you notice somepony expressing confusion about you or your capabilities, endeavor to simply do those things out of that being's sight in the future? Simply to avoid unnecessary stress.

Your friend,
Princess Celestia







Discord,

I will ask directly. Is Pinkamena Diane Pie a relative of yours?
