Follows the events of "Too Many Pinkie Pies."


Twilight's explanation of how to get rid of the Pinkie clones seemed simple enough, and everypony believed she would fix the problem. Nopony questioned Twilight's magic; nopony felt the need to.

Nopony knew exactly how her de-Pinkifying spell worked, and that's just how she wanted it.

its a good idea, not really my taste as it seems quite a bit out of character for Twi to be a sadistic pony, but i didnt see any glaring errors in the writing, well except for the fact that Twi somehow was able to lie with a straight face, as it is well known that Twilight Sparkle is a terrible lier

Morbidly interested.

Your ideas are fascinating and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Psycho-Twilight, huh? Have her fight Pinkamena! Psycho against psycho!

This is an... interesting idea. I've always had slightly philosophical concerns with that episode, over whether they kept the "real" Pinkie, but I managed to keep them at bay with forcing my headcanon into accepting that the spell would simply have failed to work on her, or sent her back to Sugar Cube Corner, or something like that.

Of course, now that you've demonstrated that it's a mere teleportation spell, it's actually statistically very likely that the "real" Pinkie is in one of those cages, which worries me (not that the whole idea of Twilight being a sadistic murderer doesn't anyway, but I've read things along those lines before). You could, of course, use this to your advantage.

One issue I do have is that the characterisation seems off a bit; as someone already pointed out, it's fairly established that Twilight is a terrible liar, but I guess we can explain that through double-bluffing (i.e. she consciously makes it obvious when telling "unimportant" lies, so that people get the impression she's a terrible liar, and when she says something without the obvious tells, people take her word for it). I'm pretty sure that any story where one of the six is a serial killer would have to twist the characterisation a fair amount anyway, as this is, after all, a show for children; therefore, I can let this issue slide somewhat (especially if you've come up with some way to explain this darker facet, or hell, even use mine, I don't mind at all).

These types of stories generally aren't my thing, especially if they get overly graphic, but you've gained a tentative favourite from me, as I'd like to see where this goes.

I've always just accepted what is (I believe) the episode's intended outcome, that Pinkie was more strong-willed than the clones. I assumed the spell would have worked, but they never tried using it on her because she focused. If the spell wouldn't have affected her, Twilight could have just cast the spell over all of them and only the real Pinkie would remain.
Anyway, that's at least the idea my story follows, so the real Pinkie is indeed safe. (although that also could have made for a cool idea if she was mistaken for a clone.)
Now for the lying... I guess I envision that in most situations like this, the "serial killer" (I think of Twilight more like a mad scientist, actually) shows sudden exceptional skill in lying due to their plans, whether it be conscious or subconscious. I don't really know how to explain that one... that's just my own theory; it'd allow Applejack to do the same.

Well, thanks for commenting - you really got me thinking for awhile. Hope that temporary fav turns into a permanent one! :pinkiehappy:

Psycho Twilight is always a plus to me. I honestly want to know why exactly Twilight is a psycho in the first place so I can have some sort of context for why Twilight has no problem killing/experimenting/etc. on living flesh and blood creatures, also if she has done something like this previously. Anyways favorited and up-voted for now.:twilightsmile:

Psycho Twilight is the best Twilight :pinkiecrazy:
I wonder where this is going...

Psycho Twilight....... F T W!!!!!! :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

Wonder where this is going :pinkiecrazy:

Welcome to the library, you will never leave the library, and while you may be called useless, that is not entirely true.

Hehe, it's been a good while since I've read a decent grim-dark, I'm going to enjoy this immensely.

ohhhh it's been a while since I saw any psycho twilight around, and this one looks reaaaaaly promising :twilightsmile:
want moar!

I... Want.... MOAR!!!!!!!!

i'm in Australia. You missed halloween by 16 hours.:unsuresweetie:

Nice I'm happy you're still working on this fanfic, I've followed a lot that just start and never update again. Anyways, I found this chapter to be excellent and while I'm used to noticing grammar or spelling errors there weren't any that stuck out to me while reading. All the descriptions were great and it was very believable. I hope to see more updates even if it takes another two months :twilightsmile:.

No, that one was definitely different. Special. Intelligent.

You know, I'm still not convinced that the real Pinkie isn't in one of those cages.

Damn. :derpytongue2:
Oh well, maybe I'll get it right next year.

Ooh, good Halloween update.

This one was pretty dang creepy.

Funnily enough my issue is not with the gore or blood or anything like that. It's with how wasteful Twilight's being. She only has 18 Pinkies to work with (unless she has another room where she keeps them), you'd think she'd be a bit more careful.

3429062 Yeah I have to agree. It isn't like she can easily get more of them and she's already burned through 22% of her testing materials.

This is gettin' gooooooooooddddd :pinkiecrazy:

When is the next chapter

4091257 Probably not for a little while... I haven't had time to start it yet, but maybe I can get some work done next week (spring break for me).

It's ok no need to rush

3138935 can't wait for more chapters

What? She didn't even autopsy the bodies or save their organs for experimentation?

Shame on her, for wasting such a bounty!

:rainbowhuh: at least it's not dash dying this time :rainbowlaugh:

More chapters please

"You're all flesh-and-blood beings, and the only thing that sending you there would have accomplished would be to create even more of you." :rainbowderp:

That is a terrifying point.

:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

3429122 She can always get more at the mirror pool.

Hm, it's been some time since we've had a ethically questionable scientist Twilight. This one is pretty fascinating. I'll keep a look out for this.
