Shadows cannot exist with light. Where there is light, shadows spawn. There must be balance. And that burden belongs to me...

Gummy takes a morning to think about various aspects of life. He finds many questions and thought-provoking concepts, but is there a conclusion?


Now with a reading by DRWolf here.


The first of my Thoughts of Pets series. Feel free to check out Owlicious and Angel as well!

Made me think about life

This made me laugh and this made me think. Like the kind of magic that the diarchs of Equestria utilize in order to rotate the day and night cycle. Do they just have to start it, or once it is started does it become an unconscious effort like a beating heart for it to continue until they lower their respective heavenly bodies below the horizon? Are the sun and moon even made up of the same things as ours are? Is it that every time they raise the celestial bodies, they are rejuvenated thus granting them extended life? Or is it just the opposite, where with every passing cycle they draw closer to their demise? Were Celestia and Luna birthed or created by some unknown creature in a distant universe that had created many other things and had no clue that her creations existed outside the edge of her reality? And who or what created this creature that created the diarchs? Oh no! Brain cramp...:rainbowlaugh:

Good to know! :pinkiehappy:

Oh sweet Celestia! I was reduced to total mental and physical incapacitation after reading all that!
Mind... needs... resolution...
:derpyderp1:

6124048 Ha! But that was one part of the episode that completely blew my mind. I did not expect an internal monologue on philosophy from Gummy. That was just random awesomeness. Props to Hasbro and the creators of the show. And to the ones currently working on it. And more specifically to the ones who thought up and scripted Gummy's part.:twilightsmile: Oh and join the villain emoticon bandwagon that me and The Home of Many Things started to pester knighty to make villain emoticons but not break the site while he does it.:twilightsmile:

6124104
Those writers sure did throw a fast ball on that one! I never expected Gummy to be a philosopher of all things! Funniest episode in MLP HISTORY!
Villain emoticons? Oh for the LOVE of all things DARK and CHAOTIC YES! :yay: I will definitely join you on that misadventure! :moustache:

6124187 Funniest episode in MLP history so far.:trollestia: And yes pester knighty relentlessly until we are victorious!

... Interesting... I approve of your deep and grand thoughts Gummy...

I wish there was an ask blog about this kind of character, 'Ask Gummy the Alligator' would be awesome.

Celestia dammit. A little more, then he'll sounds like Jaden.

6124746
Someone should definitely do that! Now to find someone willing to do it... :trixieshiftright:


6125407
... Gah! I missed the reference! Must. Find. Meaning. Of. Reference!:raritydespair:

6127038

Also, a fic for every episode of the series showing his inner thoughts.
Just something cool to listen to, I'd follow it.

So, Gummy is like Pinkie Pie; only massive differences are species, speed, and the ability to have their own queries answered by outside forces... Or is it that - *erupts into flames before able to ramble in a suitably philosophical manner*

6127427
I would suggest attempting a philosophical rant around 11pm-4am. N-not that I've actually done that of course!:twilightoops::twilightblush:

6127149
Gah... the ideas! :raritystarry: I'm really getting tempted to attempt!

6127038

Jaden Smith tweets. :twilightsheepish: :trollestia:

6129260
Cool!
*looks up Jaden Smith Tweets*
Reaction: :rainbowhuh::facehoof::rainbowlaugh:

6132912
Such is the life of a philosophical reptile :applecry:

Gummy is just like a paralyzed Pinkie. The ending was hilarious.

Gosh, when I watched that episode I got this exact idea into my head. I already speak for Discord in my most popular story, but its more or less him being a troll. It would be cool to try my hand at speaking for a more serious character. I figured that someone else would have the same idea though.

Well if you do send me a link, then I can enjoy a nice helping of Alligator and his inner thoughts of the universe around him.

I have always seen geckos as nature's stoners. Just cause.

6134961
Th:pinkiehappy:nks!


6135243
It's all in the eyes...:pinkiecrazy:

DO ANOTHER ONE.

6141498
While I won't be continuing the thoughts of Gummy (because I only planned this as a one-shot and I'm not sure I could make another chapter of passable quality), I do have plans to get into the minds of the rest of the Mane 6's pets. However... the stories are still in the concept phase so I have no clue when I'll be posting them.

6141523 noice. I think it will work best on gummy but looking forward to if you do make the rest of the main 6's pets too.

Does this make Gummy Equestria's philosoraptor?

(wipes a tear away and sniffs) Beautiful... :pinkiesad2:

Gummy is a bit pretentious.

My mind was blew away! :pinkiecrazy:

“Of course it is, silly! What else was Nightmare Moon eating for the thousand years she was banished? Rock candy?”

Hmm, actually, I wonder.. Maybe it's possible, after all, Pinkie made it, and it might have something to do with Maud, perhaps?

Without their delicious icing, cupcakes appear to be hardly anything but over-glorified muffins. What is the difference between a cupcake and a muffin then? Are the differences nothing more than constructs that were set in place so long ago nopony dares to question them? Is there a law or a rulebook describing the differences? Can somepony take a muffin, top it with icing, and declare it a cupcake with retribution from the government or desert unions? How does one even discuss torts over the terminology of baked goods?

Actually cupcakes and muffins are different in the sense of manufacturing process, rather than ingredients, cupcakes are cakes, while muffins are more closer to bread... For Derpy...

I go offline for two days and this happens. :pinkiegasp:
Well, that was a pleasant surprise! :pinkiehappy:

6188547
Hopefully not, since Gummy's voice is amazing in its own unique way!


6204623
philosoraptor?
*looks it up on Google*
...Eeyup


6206283
6204790

Aww... thanks!


6205282
That depends. Does Gummy actually contain the authority to judge as he does when comments on the things around him? If not him, than who? Who can say he lacks the authority or intellect to give criticism, unless that pony has higher intellect or authority than him. But then, is that pony pretentious for suggesting such a thing?
:twilightoops:...:facehoof:
I'm going to stop now...


6205270
Thanks for posting that! I've now added it to the description!

Well, if it helps Derpy sleep at night...
:derpyderp1:

Very good! It does make me wonder if Pinkie can hear everything or is kind like a Lois and Stewie thing she only hears what she wants to hear. Hmmm :rainbowhuh:

6210110
*looks up Lois and Stewie*
Ah... Family Guy reference
I'm under the impression they communicate like Morty and his Gengar. (Eh, obscure gen 1 pokemon reference) In other words, they have a near perfect understanding due to the close bond them. But that's just my head cannon!

6212743
:rainbowhuh:
Wow... that's... surprisingly detailed...
:derpytongue2:

6213140 Morty and his Gengar? Is he the ghost gym leader in the Pokemon Gold,Silver and Crystal ?

I won’t even start on the concept of a “good morning”.

Yup! In the anime (which due to a lack of change in cast has caused me to refer to kanto and johto as gen 1) Morty has been shown to be able to have at least near perfect communication with his Gengar for no easily discernible reason. Just like a certain pony we know! :pinkiesmile:


6216120
GIVE THIS GUY A PRIZE!
Finally, someone understands! Over three weeks since I've posted this story and finally SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!
Have an internet muffin my good sir! :derpytongue2:

Lol. Very nice, I could imagine Gummy's inner voice there quite easily, the dramatic reading even made that easier.Well done everyone.

Nice. I'm terrible at locating anything particularly glaring in writing, so I'll just suffice and say that I liked this!

You definitely got Gummy's voice down, which is important, but there's not much to this.

6247693
Thanks BB! :pinkiehappy:


6250539
You're right on that note. This story is not really supposed to have anything deep in it. I honestly just wanted to write a quick Gummy story, so that's all there is to this.
I must admit, I'm pleasantly surprised that you critiqued my story on your blog! Your assessment seems fair to me! :pinkiesmile:

Anything I reads, I reviews! :B You can thank the person who read it for bringing it to my attention. :D

*last line*

Pinkie can read minds?! :pinkiegasp:

6575781
:pinkiehappy:Maybe...

I was going for the Pinke-and-Gummy-can-communicate-despite-Gummy's-apparent-muteness angle, but that works too!

It's blue cheese not green cheese. *starts pondering everything.
