While exploring Canterlot Castle, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash uncover a room filled with stone tablets connected to dials. Above each dial is the name of an alicorn. These couldn't possibly control an alicorn's power, could they?
To absolutely no one's surprise whatsoever, Twilight finds out she's immortal. Now, if only she actually paid attention to what the Princess told her. It would save everyone a lot of time.
I'm just a witch studying my magic when my teacher comes around and asks me why I haven't been keeping to the curriculum. Boredom I say. Magic isn't practical most of the time...
First story, and a wonderful thanks to my friends and pre-readers for catching all the awful typo's, grammar mistakes and your idea's. Polishing is magic after all.
Edit; Oh and a thank you to all those faving/tracking and commenting! It's a tad overwhelming to get so much attention at the very start!
Edit2; Oh my, the first dislike! Another mile stone! Shame theres no comment to go with it.
Edit3; And a big thanks to cosmic afro for scouring through it and pointing out any and all mistakes left!
621274 Well i like to write little stories for friends but this is my first official fanfiction of... Well, anything.
621262 Glad you liked it! This storys been published for 2 minutes and already so much attention. Its flattering, really. I may have to write more often!
This is a really good first story. The Philosophical Pinkie theme is a really fun topic, what with having untold fourth wall-breaking powers, and I really like where you went with this story and how it ended. T'was an excellent read. I definitely think you should do more writing, as you seem to have much potential.
621299 Originally i was planning to use twilight(i certainly referenced her enough) but pinkie fits the part much better in my opinion. Thanks for the compliments. I certainly didnt expect so much attention!
621309 Oh, stop exaggerating. I'll be happy with getting enough views to seperate this story from the OC alicorns and teenagers in equestria
What. Philosophical Pinkie stories always hurt my brain. There were occasional errors (namely the lack of capitilization on Rarity's name, and a few others) but I definately enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing you write again!
Nice work Were you inspired by the statement"cogito ergo sum"or what was your inspiration exactly? I like how you portrayed pinkie as beeing kinda smart but also just beeing pinkie pie. I hope you will continue writing such amazing stories
621392 you made me laugh for serveral minutes^^ 621380 okay, i think i will read the story you mentioned sometime also have you already got another idea/inspiration for your next fic or was this just a one shot?
Ya thats basically me there, i created our existence. I'm that awesome....sry bout the "acts of god" and all those deaths though, i just don't know what went wrong
621444 This in itself was a oneshot. I may continue if people are clamoring fora continuation. For now ive no further stories in mind. I just write when the inspiration strikes.
Very interesting! I like the rationalistic style of pinkie. Maybe in your next story, you may add a little about "what is the concept? What makes a concept? are there concepts within concepts?" in pinkie pie's mind. XD Just an idea I have (if you want to write about it...)
The great question that faces the fandom has always been: Why don't more ponies go into existential fits of self-introspection where-from they emerge with the belief that they possess abilities to substantiate realities?
This is a situation that you have answered quite well with this story!
The work itself contains all of the proper mechanics and grammar that I look for. There were a few instances of missed capitalization ("why" isn't in the first exchange between Pinkie and herself, and "the" is capitalized in "the universe" at one point), and in the scene where she's about to eat the MMMCupcake you mention "arm" despite using "hooves" earlier. Foreleg would be more in keeping with the theme.
These are paltry issues. The story is packed with enough asides that it keeps the central narrative strong and fresh throughout. The story relies on deep thoughts and a light mood. What could have been emotionally draining and taxing became a fun romp.

All my stars, my good brony, go to you.
First story? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!

621295 I shall hope to see this in the featured section.
That was honestly mind blowing.
And that's a rare statement from me.

621321 Do whatever you want.
It's been a long time since I had something to think about.

What.

Well this is theoretical physics. Take a look at stephen hawkings "a brief history of time/the universe in a nutshell" for similar stuff.
Oh and thanks for the track/fave!
Nice work
Were you inspired by the statement"cogito ergo sum"or what was your inspiration exactly?
I like how you portrayed pinkie as beeing kinda smart but also just beeing pinkie pie.
I hope you will continue writing such amazing stories

Pinkie watches paint dry and the stephen hawking book/s i mentioned above were the inspiration.
And a healthy dose of boredom.
Cogito Ergo Sum. Tho putting this in Pinkies mouth would really putting Descartes before the horse. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
Huh. Reminds me of Pinkie Pie watching paint dry...
Fantastic. With firsts like these who needs... well you know what I'm getting at.
MOAR PLEASE!
Awesome job expesualy for a first
Ehehe... First thing I have to say... Capatilize proper nouns? Please?
And philosophical Pinkie Pie is always funny to see.

Heh, well il have to fix that. My pre-readers did all they could!

You made my head hurt, and I like it
dilemma should be predicament

Aha! I knew there was a word! You sir, have my eternal gratitude!
Dat alliteration.
Pinkie fits it better in my mind.
Bravo! Johnny Bravo!

All ideas are good! I really dont write often. Just when the inspiration for an idea strikes.

This definitely earns a "Like". Well done!
