Chapter 1
“So… ummm, what do you girls think?”
To say that Pinkie Pie was terrified of her friends reaction would be an understatement. Even surrounded by her closest friends, she was shaking all over, despite the warm atmosphere of the Golden Oaks Library.
This was a secret she had kept for years. Years! Perhaps her whole life. She always knew she was different, that there was something wrong with her.
She hated who she was, so she constructed a façade to show the world.
An acceptable Pinkie Pie.
A Pinkie Pie who could have friends. A smiling Pinkie Pie who everypony would love and would never leave. That was the Pinkie she had shown to her friends, in order to keep them.
Sure, every now and then she had slipped up, slipped into the ‘real Pinkie’, but most of her friends had written it off as her being ‘random’.
The secret had been tearing at her insides, she had come to question her friendships. Were they really her friends, or were they friends of the façade? Pinkie felt trapped, and didn’t know who to turn to.
It was a friend in the form of a regal white Alicorn that had put her mind at ease in the end. Kind, loving, motherly Celestia. She had confided in Princess Celestia, told her the truth, the secret that she had held for so long.
And it was Celestia who had informed her that what she was going through was normal, that it was okay to be this way, and encouraged Pinkie Pie to tell her friends the truth.
The Princess stood by her in the cramped little library, while Pinkie told her friends the truth. She knew deep down, if it were not for the Princess’ encouragement and support; she probably would never have been brave enough to tell her friends.
“Well, I— umm,” the normally talkative Rarity was at a loss for words. “I suppose it is none of my business, and you are still a dear friend. It will—” Rarity shuffled her hooves nervously. “It will take some time for me to get used to, Pinkie Pie, but I will keep this secret until you are ready to tell anypony else… if you even decide they need to know.”
Pinkie Pie beamed, and reached forward to give her friend a hug, and was hurt when her marshmallow friend scooted away from her touch.
“I’m… I’m sorry dear.” Rarity apologised. “It is just a shock. Please understand, just— just give me a little time.”
Pinkie nodded, hurt but understanding. Rarity was right to pull away.
“Well, I guess I always kind of expected… oh no! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way.” Fluttershy gasped, then hid behind her mane. “I mean, you’re still Pinkie Pie to me, and still my good friend!”
“Heck yeah!” Dash cheered. “This doesn’t change nothin, Pinks!”
“Wait! Are you saying yer okay with this, Rainbow Dash‽” Applejack asked incredulously. “Ah thought if somepony here would agree with me, it’d at least be you!”
Everypony went silent as they turned towards Applejack.
“Ah’m sorry, Pinkie, but Ah don’t like it.” She looked her friend up and down. “It’s jus’ not natural, an Ah don’t want no part of it!”
Pinkie Pie bit back tears as Applejack slammed the door behind her, storming off into the night. Everypony sat in awkward silence, until Celestia broke it.
“I will go and speak with her,” Celestia sighed, moving slowly to the door. The royal mare turned toward her student. “I assume you will take care of Pinkie whilst I am away?”
Twilight started once again bouncing in her seat, her eyes glistening with excitement. Applejack’s abrupt departure could only hold back that inquisitive mind for so long.
Celestia easily recognised the look on her students face: it was the face of somepony bursting at the seams with questions; in Twilight’s case, probably quite literally so. She hoped that Twilight would at least be a little sensitive, and not bombard Pinkie Pie with too many questions.
Twilight jumped forward as the door closed behind Celestia. “Oh wow this is so exciting I’ve never met somepony like this before how does it feel what is it like when did you know‽”
Pinkie Pie giggled. “Oh silly filly, I’ve always known, I think. I’ve always been this way, I’ve just been too afraid to tell anypony.”
She looked around the room at her friends, sans one Princess and one Farmer, and smiled.
“You girls don’t know what this means to me, I’ve been so afraid. I thought you’d not want to be my friends anymore.”
She wiped her eyes dry. “So, who’s up for a party?”
Everypony cheered, and Twilight turned to the kitchen to get some snacks for the impromptu party. At the archway to the kitchen stood Spike, eye’s wide as saucers, staring in horror.
“Spike!” Twilight chastened the little dragon. “It’s not polite to stare. You’ll make Pinkie nervous.”
Spike worked his jaw soundlessly, continuing to stare.
“Spike!” Twilight barked.
Words tumbled out of the little dragon’s mouth. “Ph'nglui Mglw'nafh Pinkie Pie R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.”
“What did he say?” Rainbow Dash hovered over Twilight’s shoulder.
“I’m not quite sure,” Twilight Sparkle held the back of her hoof against his forehead. “He seems fine. Spike, are you there? What’s happening.”
The little dragon continued his chant, in a slightly higher pitched and frantic voice. “Ph'nglui Mglw'nafh Pinkie Pie R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!”
Twilight turned to her friend, an embarrassed blush across her face. “Pinkie, I am so sorry.”
“It’s okay; you don’t be scared, Spikey-wikey,” Pinkie tried to reassure the little dragon. “I’m still your Auntie Pinkie.”
“Ia! Ia!” The dragon screamed as one of Pinkie Pie’s fur covered tentacles wrapped around the body of the panicking dragon. “Ph'nglui Mglw'nafh Pinkie Pie R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!”
Spikes screams rose to a crescendo.
“Come on, Spikey, come and give your Auntie Pinkie a hug.”
“Ia! Ia! Iaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaahaaaaaa!”
Bahahaha. So yes, You just read "A Thing".
Hugs?
I feel no remorse!
Also: Sweet Mercy Masterweaver deserves kudos for this epilogue in the comments!
After a few "what the fuck" comments (hah! a 'few') I have come to realise there are quite a few who have probably never been introduced to the work of Lovecraft. So without further ado, I give you At the Mountains of Madness… which I am pretty sure is what inspired Masterweaver's epilogue.

Well.
That explains a lot.

Also, unintended implication of story: Rainbow Dash is excited about tentacles...
Which, you know, I am pretty sure I've seen 'fan art' of around somewhere.
3790332
I have no idea what you’re talking about, and have never seen a tentacle before in my life. Nosiree.

Sure! (Also, could I get you to [spoiler]tag[/spoiler] that? Just for incoming readers.
3790347
Sure thing, boss
Pinkie Pie as a Shoggoth, perhaps a Formless Spawn, or just an eldritch horror in general... makes sense, at least she's a nice one, considering how they normally act. This brings up something I had pondered once, what if Discord might be one of Nyarlathotep's masks... that'd be kinda cool I think.
..Oh...Oh dear...
The Truth Is.....I upvoted the story without a problem
seems legit
and it makes so much sense
Tentacles man
Tentacles
Thank you for not spoiling the story in your title, description or cover picture. Quite a rare sight these days.

With how spike reacted? I'm thinking Cthulhu (spike does quote from the prayer), some unknown relative of Cthulhu's, or maybe an elder thing, shoggoths tend to be brainless
My own headcannon is that Discord is the mask Nyarlathotep uses when he want to cut loose.
I'm guessing this is one of those stories that was born from this process...
1) Search images, 2) Find random image that wasn't being sought, 3) Think "WTF?", 4) Realize a story must be written about said image, 5) Write story with no regrets
Am I right?
I don't think the spoiler tag was necessary, but I figured just in case.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Stay away from me!
okay i was expecting a twist, but i did not expect frikkin shoggoths.
even when spike was reciting the cthulhu sleeps line.
Oh my.
I'm not sure if I should blame the internet or this fandom for my lack of any real surprise at the ending. Formless abomination Pinkie doesn't even break the top ten oddest things I've read this month.
LOVED IT! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE-
*sees completed tag*
i.imgur.com/e9Wjhv0.gif Dafuq man? This needs to be added upon.
Wat?
3790562
What are those black lines???
lol haha, 'give your aunt pinkie a hug!" classic!
Ia! Ia! The Pink Pony of Parties with a thousand cupcakes!
Not the first time I've encountered the "Pinkie Pie is an Eldritch Abomination" theory...
..................................................................................................................................................................................well then.
Well.
I can, with complete and utter honesty, say I was not expecting that.
At first, I was like "Pinkie is a lesbian and is coming out to her friends." And then, when Applejack left in a disgusted huff, I'm thinking Pinkie's big secret was something silly, like she hates the taste of apples. And then...well, then things started getting REALLY weird, REALLY fast.

[spoiler] tags. It is a way of blanking something out so that you can't read it unless you manually click on it. If you left mouse click on the black lines it should show the hidden text underneath.
3790988
Honestly, I had to keep it exceptionally vague, because that was exactly what I did not want to do.
3791205
Nope, this was 100% pure Anonymoose. Been an idea that has bounced around in the old brain-hole for a while. And that picture is basically a recolour of Marceline the Vampire Queen's tentacle form.
3791688
I best try harder then
3792762
Yeah, I've seen it in a few fics before too. So I know I am not original in that regard.
Poor Spike really can't help himself, it's basically instinctual on his part - after all, Elder Gods are the only natural predators of Dragons.
Hmm...
I'm not sure what to think...
I'll get the chainsaw!
Dear God... What the... I don't even... Wow.
Completely arbitrary nonsense, but I just love that right now the fic has 66 likes and 6 dislikes.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS GAY
3793895
That was the intent
Pinkie is best Pinkie.
Tautological as that sounds, I shan't go into more detail, because spoilers.
I knew what the reveal was going to be from the beginning, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. Plus, I just know Discord's going to be thrilled to have a new eldritch buddy.
Thank you for a delightful tale involving one of my favorite bits of headcanon regarding the party pony.
wait wait
Nope!
*grabs shotgun, flips table and hides behind it*
haha that was defiantly unexpecxted
.....what the hell......
I.... I have no idea what I just read XD
3795026
The product of a deranged mind?
No comment feel sick
3795033 Perhaps... It was at least novel and surprising!
And I thought it was leading up to her being gay
Kudos for the completely unpredicted ending!
3795219
That was kind of the intention. Bit of poking fun at myself and other writers who constantly write the same angst-ridden coming out story. Now excuse me, I have to go back to writing my angsty story about someone coming out of the closet to his friends.
(Scratch that, I just realised I have three stories planned of that exact same plot line!)
3794065
I have no idea if that says something about you (knowing the reveal) or something about me, but I am glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, you've been busy.
Gotta say, this one also got a chuckle out of me. I knew this was leading up to a subversive punchline, but... I gotta say, did not expect this. 
Just...

Yeah, I got really slack with writing over the break, and these silly little things allow me to get back into the flow of things without having to stress about continuity from previous chapters.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Uh......what?
If you think that's bad, Spike? Just wait 'til next week, where we learn that, while during her banishment on the moon, Luna had a fling with Yog-Sothoth.
...Oh! And she recently just adopted some Night Gaunts too, so if you've recently been having nightmares about flying creatures without faces grabbing you by the waist and carrying you over mountains before dropping you into darkness, just, uh... just call Luna, she'll... she'll sort them out.
Also, don't let the name fool you, but "The Dreamlands" is not the happy and magical place that you might be led to believe.
...uh...um...I don't...uh...Wha?!

Grammar rules state that ellipsis always have to be at exactly three dots.
Not this time. I couldn't express my lack of words with anything less than four dots.
