The Plebeian


E

Pinkie Pie is faced with a daunting order of twenty-two batches of cupcakes, a twitching tail, and the barriers of common logic. Luckily, Twilight Sparkle comes to her rescue, and together, they defeat all three in one fell swoop. The result is an entirely reasonable and logical progression. There is only one Batch. Batch-22.

Written with sincere apologies to Joseph Heller.

Funniest. Story. Ever.

Gosh darn it, Pinkie... I think you broke my brain. :twilightangry2:

But even so, this is one of the best fanfics I've read in a long time.

Ahh, method to the madness, that's how you write Pinkie Pie. This was a delight to read.

I am in awe. Best short story 2014. Never mind we're still in January... can we be in a month? Or are we on it? Since the saying is "on time" wouldn't we say "on January"? but we say "in" despite all logic. I mean, Months have beginnings and endings but they don't have boundaries beyond that, so they have no walls to keep us "in". Theoretically, I could move sideways from any Wednesday and encounter... holy mother of Celestia... THEY DO HAVE WALLS! :derpytongue2:

this is going into the read later, most definetly. oh cant wait.

I honestly expected this to begin with "It was love at first sight. The first time Pinkie Pie saw the cupcakes she fell madly in love with them." xD

Catch-22 is a spectacular read, and you managed to capture Heller's twisted logic with added ponies. I suspect that Pinkie Pie would instantly love Catch-22 if she ever tried to read it, though she would probably read something into it the rest of us would never see. :P

3819829 Pinkie is the best pony to write since she defies logic and breaks the fourth wall. She's Pinkie Pie for Celestia's sake! :pinkiehappy:

3822439 But when people write her without reason, and when she acts without reason, that's what I can't stand. She shouldn't break the fourth wall without reason. She shouldn't bring madness without reason. She's still a pony. She still has reasons for doing things, as convoluted as those reasons may be. Usually her goals are simple, yet her approach to completing those goals are quite unique. I don't enjoy when Pinkie is included just to add randomness for the sake of randomness. I like when she brings randomness simply by being who she is whilst striving to achieve her goals.

I find Pinkie is one tough character to write properly, but Plebeian does it well here and it shows in his story.

3822583 Of course! Don't want to break the "only when it's funny" rule!:pinkiehappy:

Pinkey Pie can be rely funny when you know how to right her, thank you for reminding me
there was a lot of words I didn't understand here. I had to use google-tranclate a few times. incidentally, did you know that "baru" means "new" in Indonesian?

Trying to follow this HURT MY BRAIN. PInkie officially TERRIFIES ME.

Do me a favor. How about you take me to dinner before you mind fuck me next time.
Thx.

Nice pony Tribute to Heller. Well done. :twilightsmile:

That made sense, in a ridiculous sophistriacle way.

Next time you fuck with my mind, please use a condom. I think I'm having a crazy thought-baby. I need to go get a subpena for a paternity test. :applecry:

I laughed all the way through this, people were just giving me really weird looks. :pinkiecrazy:

I wanna sworl the bonanaz!

This really hurt.

Help her! Help her!
Help who? Help who?
The princess! The princess!

Okay, that's out of my system. In any case, this is easily the greatest thing since chocolate-covered cotton. Thank you for it. :twilightsmile:

Eating her tail? That's something I never even imagined. Pretty fun and cute

What the hell did I just read?

I should've warned you! Never try to use logic with me, I'll just break it! It's like the fact that nothing can't exist, because since nothing is a word and you can do nothing, you're doing something, and so, nothing can't exist because doing nothing is doing something! :pinkiehappy:
