Hoopy McGee


Hoopy's just this guy, you know?

T

Sometimes, I just want to write something silly. Or weird. Or just plain strange. This collection of those stories, scenes, one-shots and writing experiments that don't quite rate their own stand-alone stories.

Default tags are Random and Slice-of-Life. Additional tags will be added in the Author's Notes at the beginning of each chapter, as needed.

In honor of April fool's day, I present the first chapter of Hoopy's notebook. I hope you enjoy it!
Many thanks to Coandco for pre-reading this chapter

:twilightangry2::Oh, Spike, you ........2!#!@$%%

Meddle not with the possessions of dragons, for you are gullible and they are patient.

Great story. The only thing I can think to make it better would for Spike to reply with Happy foals day instead.

Ice cream is serious business! Take mine and I shall make you scream! :moustache:

Y'know... I like this! It's about time Spike got to be a clever jerk instead of the other sort.

Spike had just started pouring his strawberry-frosted mini-haystacks into his cereal bowl when he heard Twilight coming down the stairs of the Golden Oaks library.

Golden Oak Library, all capitalized :)

"'Morning, Twilight," he said as the unicorn came into view. He poured the milk into the bowl, starting the process of getting the miniature haystacks nice and soggy. "Let me guess: another late night of studying?"

Triple quotation on the first line here :P

Other than that, funny story. I like the idea of a collection of short stories - I'll have to keep track of this :pinkiesmile:

AAAAHAHAHA! Perfect short for April Fool's Day. XD That was fun! The delivery on Twilight's detailing of her conversation with Celestia was perfect.

I do think you should have started it out with some reference to the ice cream, though. With no prior warning, it felt like a tacked-on excuse for Spike's ploy. Maybe even just a mention of the empty ice cream carton in the trash? Anyhoo, otherwise this was fantastic. XD Thanks for sharing!

Well that didn't work.

No wait, it worked spectacularly! :rainbowlaugh:

And Spike was never seen again.

The prank is weak with this one. Teachings, he requires. Ruination, shame, a good prank causes not these things.

Enjoy the joke, Spike, you're doomed.

:rainbowlaugh:
So far, so good.
I will be tracking this one.
Can't wait to see what else you're gonna write.

and here I always thought the quote was,
"Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons.
For you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup!"

Oh well, live and learn.
^_^

Hah. I must try this next April Fool's.

Hahaha, Brilliant. I think Spike has enough karma saved up to afford this one.:moustache: Out of all the days to be stuck on, Monday would be the worst.

Alright, that was funny, but I'll have to say that Spike did go a bit overboard with the revenge plan.
Evil, evil mastermind Spike.

Nice. Of course, now often do you need to ask what day it is?
Total breach of trust!
Keep going! ;)

I bet Celestia saw a bird of the sun when she tried hatching her egg.

Now the question of the day: Did Twilight somehow create and hatch a dragon's egg from a papier-mâché mock-up, or is there somewhere a rather annoyed dragon with a fake egg in her nest? :moustache: :facehoof: <We need to talk, Spike.)

No wonder Spike is so different from other dragons. He isn't an Equestrian dragon - he's exactly what young Twilight Sparkle subconsciously expected a dragon to be! No more; no less.

So in this interpretation, the task was even less possible than it seems to be in canon. What a fascinating twist.

Also, would this make Twilight more like Spike's mom, or more like a nascent goddess of magic?

It's not the first time I"ve seen this idea on Spike's orgin... t6hough never seen the scene itself written. This does really make him Twilight's little boy.

Wow. Loved it :heart:!
Getting one of the shows unexplained parts explained via your favourite authors headcanon presented from the most befitting of POVs.
Having any more of these bumping around in your head Hoopy? Because I'd love to read more of them. I've always liked the way you portray Celestia and to see some of the events from the show from her perspective was just marvelous.

Also hatching a papier mache egg? Ouch, that's really mean. To do so to aspiring students trying to apply to the school? It's pure evil I tell you. (Also I would probably be as stubborn, and become frustrated, as Twilight)

I like the idea of the egg as a Kobayashi Maru scenario. It makes the school's administrators seem less evil.

Gotta excercise those wings right?
Celestia flies on occasion....

You broke my library by making a chapter public then hiding it, now I'm stuck with one unread chapter...

Sorry... Hit publish by accident instead of edit... I will finish the story and post it later tonight. Hopefully that will fix it!
7138110
More coming on this one ... I goofed and published way too soon.

7138128
Chapter is up for real, now. Hopefully that fixes the issue with your library.

Godamm fillybusting.

Now, I do think that busting out of trouble a cute filly is oh so very acceptable to me. Especially since on the long term it migth increase the productivity of an important part of the governing body.

If you've gotten multiple notifications about updates for this story, I apologize. I accidentally hit "publish" instead of "Edit" after writing the first two paragraphs.

Don't worry, I didn't got any! I wouldn't even had find out without the blog post!

If you ever need a proofreader, hmu

Other than that, I'm enjoying the simple slice-of-life stories. Looking forward to more :)

Oh come on, Twi was OP all the time, that's why DHX (or probably Hasbro) keeps nerfing her because in reality nothing would stand a chance against her :rainbowlaugh:

That was cute.
And indeed, Celestia puts too much care into what the nobles think of her. She really needs to make it so that nobles will have entitlements only after they do something for the country. That way, only those who truly do good will have the Princess' ear directly.
But that's always wishful thinking.

At least Celestia got some necessary ideas on what to do, and how to unwind at least a little bit. And help her staff as well.

Ahahaha, NICE! I loved this whole piece overall; Celestia being so dang calm and SEVERELY UNDERSTATED was hilarious and made me love her even more. The bit about the egg was a fascinating touch, although i agree with your note that Twilight probably isn't QUITE this overpowered. (Unless she summoned an actual egg from somewhere else, it's hard to imagine she has the power to create life.) Overall, very fun, I always enjoy your stories and these little ones are very enjoyable. ^^

This is my favorite one yet! Dangit, you write kind Celestia SO WELL. This is exactly the kind of portrayal of Celestia I love and that seems most fitting with the show. And it's nice to see her getting a lesson in how to give herself a break while not totally neglecting her duties. ^^ Awesome job, Hoopy!

You really captured Celestia's best attribute in this: her concern for the little people. It doesn't come up often in the show (Luna is more noted for that), but it's very endearing.

You may have rushed this through with no proofreading, but I only noticed one typo:

"Well, I suppose we cold shuffle appointments around,

Dawww *giggle*
Everyone needs a cookie from time to time :twilightsmile:.
Love these short stories. They're just awesome!

Thank you. I really needed something like that today. Ok and lots and lots of STROH (80 of course. nothing else is better for baking, cooking and destroying your liver.)

Good going Twilight!

Hahahaha! This is what you get when ponies attempt logic.:pinkiecrazy:

I do love the non-clone possibilities of that gag.

Wow, that was weird, haha. So many connotations of the word dense. I'll bet what happened is that Pinkie actually used frosting to write "Cake of Destiny" on her audition piece, but mistakenly transposed the letters, resulting in this queer circumstance.

Also, two stories in one day? You're on fire!

Hoopy

Not even kidding, you are the reason I joined this website.

This is beautiful in its' silliness, and for reinforcing the twin central messages of MLP: that you can never have enough Pinkie Pie, and that time travel and Twilight Sparkle should never be mixed.

Someone cast a spell of animal talking on gummy as a prank.
