Chill out
Well, uh,...congrats.
The feels are real!
...
*reads description* THIS WAS A COMMISSION?
7412104 Well, this was cute.
*fires freeze gun at you*
CHILL OUT!
.....I uh....I need to sit down for a minute...and uh...I'm gonna try not to cry....it's gonna be very hard to do...
Pi is De jure Four.
More at 11. :Discord:
Couldn't they get, you know, another Cockatrice?
Also, Discord.
This is a story about Pinkie Pie. The second chapter has 314 words. God damnit.
Goes to show how much love the Pie sisters have for each other.
*Whipping tears away* This... this was so good.
7412188
I was thinking this the whole time.
Here I thought the unicorn would have been Moondancer
So what is your take on Pinkie pie?
There's a slight problem with this.
I don't seem to be able to favorite this more than once, and the upvote stops at one. This is a problem.
Well done, Skirts. Yet another masterpiece.
7412188 I think for the sake of this story, we're to assume this is out of Discord's control. Way too many fanfics stop having plots if we assume Discord can fix everything.
So many layers to this story. I love it.
Hmm. Normally, I'd say that this kind of fic feels like a cop out; using a single moment that wasn't explicitly shown to draw in "feels" rather than attempting to tell a legitimate story, thus negating any emotional appeal it provokes.
I can not say such a thing with this story.
I can sense each of the Pie sister's personalty types and coping mechanisms, we are given a window into the crux of character development, rather than a quick punch to the stomach meant solely to make the hug that comes after more fulfilling. Good work with this one, good work indeed.
I also appreciate the allusion to As I lay Dying. It's a nice touch.

7412188 The problem with Discord is that he's not a solver of problems, he's a creator. His magic is incredibly powerful, but unpredictable. I imagine he was considered a last resort, as he could end up turning her from stone to pudding.
The blow-up doll next to me looked at me with a surprised face.
Nice blend of the sisters each having their own time with Pinkie and yet all together at the same time.
So, it this an entry to submitting for TDR's "Stories-in-Stone" collection? Maybe not quite the length of time Applejack got stuck, but I think it qualifies.
Thanks!
Looks like Pinkie is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
This story rocks.
It is important that a story with such solid characterization should not be taken for granite.
7413493 Pffffff
Goddammit, Skirts.
You really know how to pull on the Heartstrings when you want to.
And I'm being serious about that, ya big fuzzball.
Just wanted to come back and say that this is my favorite Pie sister story ever. It's so incredibly rare to find a story with all of them as a whole after Hearthbreakers aired. This was written so beautifully and it really was bittersweet to read.
Also I hope to see more Pinkie in your stories nudge nudge, wink winkBut, yeah, wonderful job.
Not bad, although I feel like it lacks something in only implying they succeeded somehow and not really telling us. I also find it annoying to be presented with monologue from different ponies that clearly happens at different and no chronological markers at all to tell how spread out they are. Ultimately there's a little of the warm and fuzzy, but it feels like an unfinished sketch.
7413683 Have you ever noticed how every blow-up doll always seems to have a surprised look on their faces? It's like they're taken aback by the fact that someone wants to 'inflate' them, right?
Oh, and if the author of this story is reading this comment; your story is pretty good. I'm not going to make any promises here because I don't know if I want to do it yet or not, but I'd like to ask for your permission to do a reading of this fanfic on my YouTube channel in advance. A short fanfic reading would provide my YouTube channel with some content to appease the subscribers while also giving me extra time to work on my latest One Punch Pony VS Changelings animation.
So, what do you say? May I have your permission in advance in case I decide to go ahead and do a reading? Just to warn you though, I'm a British guy, so if you choose to listen to the reading you will have to tolerate a bloke's voice trying to impersonate a female when I read the lines of the female characters.
Oh lord, Pinkie Pie will be ruined forever when I come to voice her lines. XD
I have a cure. Well, I know someone who can easily fix this.
Discord.
I think Starlight would be the perfect pony to deal with this. Take the time travel spell, go back grab the cockatrice while it was a live, make it fix things, then break it's damn neck and drop it where it was found dead
7414681
WEEEELLL
... It was found dead. So that is entirely possible. But wouldn't that lead to a paradox? Or is that how it all flows? I do tend to get a bit easily confused with thinking in those circles :|
7412385 7412188
It may be that the gaze is locked to the one that placed it, otherwise it'd be very easy for food theft to happen by bigger and stronger cockatrices. Fair, fighting chance for all because y'know how Equestria is.
Honestly I love the disjointed approach to this. Not a lot of people can pull it off very well and this was done absolutely perfectly. No awkward changes between them, perfect pacing. Really great job :O
Very good. I'm guessing Twilight and Starlight figured out a way to reverse it together? Or perhaps found another cockatrice to reverse the stoning? Or they could have used the de-stoning spell Celestia used to free Discord in Keep Calm And Flutter On. Interesting. I'd like to know how they freed her.
The feels are on the loose. Well done, SS&E. Well done. Even in a commission, you put heart into your writing.
Impressive. I've already said what I felt in my first comment, so I won't say anything more.
7414709 It's a bootstrap paradox, basically the past was manufactured in order to preserve the present/future.
*Alondro walks up to Petrified Pie... smirks... hefts sledgehammer... smashes statue...* There, now you don't have to listen to them anymore.
*flicks a twisted grin to the audience* Well, if nopony's smart enough to even try the Elements or the Tree or Discord or... well, any number of countless magical possibilities, then I might as well just end this pointlessness once and for all, eh?
7413206 Is it out of the EoH's or the Tree's control? They can both cause and undo petrifaction, and undo any disharmony and chaos caused by Discord, NMM, Tirek, etc... I would think a cockatrice would not be any trouble at all.
And Starlight Glimmer once more creates all magic required to save the day!
...
She's like Eric Cartman having the power to have all the powers...
7414709 it would create a paradox, a stable paradox. Which instead of fucking everything up just kinda happens, with no adverse effects besides a headache trying to figure it out but I could be wrong.
7415840 Well, at least the fanfic is canonically correct right? :b
7415838 it takes six elements to do anything. They're down to five
7417037
Who says the element of Laughter stopped working? If anything makes more sense to me, the others focus their power on Pinkie and her element if able to cure her from the inside out. It's likely the mental, physical and spiritual equivalent of pushing a Watermelon though a key hole.
7414681
7417285 nice story there. Twilight's complaints about having to find it are really weak though, since they know where Pinkie was turned to stone and they know where it was found dead. So, go to either of those two places
Anybody else that thought of THAT when they read the title?
saladdaysmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/27.jpg
7417639 Yes.
I don't like them, but yes.
7415338
7416116
Ahh, okay. I knew it was supposed to work out, but I couldn't find the words to convey it :| Not without going around and around or using the wrong technical term for it. Thanks giving me the proper term! \o/
@Lunar specifically, the way it was explained by Driver is how it works out. If they didn't go back to fix it then it'd never happen, but since they did go back, the timeline progresses "normally".
7417785 Ah, thanks I knew I messed it up a little.
7418248 To give a good example, look at It's About Time.
