For Twilight, being the Princess of Friendship gets overwhelming sometimes – there are simply too many royal duties she must attend! She just can't seem to shake a feeling of exhaustion. Things used to be so much simpler.
A day off shouldn't hurt...

It's actually a song reference, but that works.
I like it. It was fantastic.
Smarty Pants is a girl.

I felt very unsettled by this. Like there was some revelation that the story was building up to, how Twilight was dead all along or two centuries into the future or something, but it never happened. It's like an itch you can't scratch or an almost-sneeze. And quite frankly, that is quite an accomplishment.
All in all, well done.

Oh. Whoops. Should be fixed now.
6160107
That is sort of what I was going for, so it seems I managed alright.
Oh my, that title... and the chapter title!
I should read this, right now.

Do tell me what you think about it.
awesome-sauce
I think it hits all the right notes. As Mooncalf said, unsettling. Of course, I cheated a little by recognizing the reference, but still.
This is a much better take on this particular theme than most of the ones that popped up during the initial Alicorn Twilight hullabaloo. It's so very Twilight I-Will-Fix-This Sparkle.
6160058 *thimbs up*
I'm getting here that something happened and Twilight doesn't feel there is any way to correct it. I'm also going to say that it possibly had something to do with Pinkie. As for what happened, no clue. Maybe something happened at the old castle but past that, I can't put my figure on it. Damn fine story though, I could actually see the parts of the song in it.
A really good oneshot, very subtle. Something is wrong, but Twilight won't tell us what. Maybe she doesn't exactly know. But her thoughts are very tenuous, as though she is trying to hide from something. Her decision to schedule everything from here on is telling, somehow. Is she uncomfortable spending a whole day without structure because it leaves her too much time to think about herself, and that perhaps her life isn't quite as fantastic as she claims? I feel like the other shoe is about to drop; it just didn't happen in this story.
Something is wrong with twi. What happened to make twilight like this?
I also find it a little, unsatisfying? There doesn't seem to be any change in twilights situation but perhaps thats the point?
I wonder if I'm just reading this wrong.
I had to read this if only because Jonathan Coulton makes me moist
Twilight feels fantastic~
6160315 I was going to post this if someone hadn't already. Well done.
I'm going to narrate this.
I'm going to make it seem like it's Twilight Sparkle's descent into madness.
Expect it whenever.

faggot

Have a KFC commercial
I read the fic. Then I listened to the song and read the lyrics. But before either of those, I read part of 6160107's comment. "I felt very unsettled by this."
I think this fanfic feels exactly like the teetering edge; you start waiting for something to happen, but it never actually happens. or it's already happened and you can't quite realize what happened.
Also, as others have said, it goes along well with the flow of the song. Personally, I also think this felt like a great inverted version of the song that kept the same feeling. Good job! I'm going to go do something to feel normal again...
...i saw that music video on a another story here on the site (cant remember which)... and i was like..
(thats a funny thing to sing)

I read it as.Twilight's reaction to essentially being written out of the main cast because apparently the super important thing Celestia needed to glue wings onto her for was... making her stop being Twilight Sparkle.
I don't get it. The comments make it sound like it's about a songo but listening to the song didnt give any more insights. What am I missing?

It's a story about feeling uncomfortable. It's a story that reads weird with the intention of making you feel uncomfortable.
I didn't put a whole lot of thought into it.
6952677 Hmm. OK. Thanks for the reply.
Might need the Sad tag, but that might spoil too much?
This whole story was rather unsettling and somewhat disturbing. Although nothing is mentioned in any definitive way... I can assume a few things:
First off, it seems to be a very open to interpretation story. Sort of a draw your own conclusions thing. My idea is:
Given how Twilight is acting rather random, hyper, and somewhat impulsive... something significant must have recently happened to cause this. Looking at how she continuously talking about Pinkie Pie and even mimics her in some ways, tells me that it must be something about Pinkie that has her acting this way.
I believe that Pinkie Pie might have passed away somewhat recently in this story to cause this. Twilight is just trying to hold onto her memories of her by acting them out in order to cope. Her mention of flying away from problems means she doesn't want to face reality. This also probably isn't a distant future immortal Twi thing either since Spike is still small and living with her. She lost her laughter and is trying her best to avoid the reality of that by making her own false laughter.
I suppose I could just be dramatically overthinking things, but it's just my interpretation of it. Well written and unsettling either way.
Except maybe for the day when I felt the way that I do right now.
But I should leave you and your steak-tastes-better pills alone, so you don't have to share the wine.
Well, perhaps if you were the Princess of Quills and Sofas in Ponyville and the Immediate Environs Thereof you'd get more sleep.
I think you're the first person I've ever seen give evidence of having noticed that. I really don't get that; it's pretty obvious, so I don't understand all the people who clearly missed it.
Because it's a beautiful day in Equestria. Because it's going to start raining in there soon. Because you don't believe a dragon is going to attack.
Take it up with Destiny.
She runs the reception desk at the Cosmic Office of Random Chance. Just don't comment about how she doesn't work at the Cosmic Office of Predestination; she's been hearing that one daily for millennia.
Maybe you should just find some big things and shrink them. They'd be easier to spot.
You say that like you can only have one mother.
Responsibility sucks sometimes. But the thing you have to remind yourself is that Equestria has gotten by on as few as one princess at times. As the most junior of four princesses, there is very little you would be doing that absolutely has to be done and absolutely has to be done by you. As easy as it is to load up your plate until you run out of room, you could take anything you want off and it wouldn't be the end of the world.
The fuck did I just read? c.c

I don't even know, man. I almost forgot this fic exists. I don't even know how you found it. It's basically a reference to a Jonathan Coulton song, it's been linked somewhere in the comments here.
You know what you should be reading? Monsters. You're like 3 years overdue on that. Get on it. You'll love it. I promise. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done. Seriously. Why are you reading this comment and not Monsters? Jeesh.
8712958
The easy answer? It's over 100k. D:
Although I have no idea why this was so high on my radar, either, go figure. XD
Of course, the real reason I read this was so I could do a reading.
Why did I do that? No idea. Though on a second read, it occurs to me that what you've done is write princess angst with the angst replaced by mania. That is definitely interesting.

Woah. Nice.
You have an amazing voice, by the way.

Thanks! I think this came out pretty all right, considering I was reading it for the first time!
You can has review!
