Life is a garbage can. It's filled with stuff that is either of no use to you, or things that you actively try to avoid. But if you keep pecking and picking at it, and if you work hard at it, you may eventually find something that is actually worth treasuring.

This is the best kind of trash.

Eating from the trashcan of ideology.

7951707 Do those black and red scarves symbolize anything? :raritystarry:

This is low even for you. :heart:

7951726 It took me three days to get myself to write it; I'm just glad I finally got to it before anypony else did.

7951755 You should still write it and just leave that in the description but with a strike through and a link to this story.

We need to make this go viral.

7951786 Confession, created that like five minutes after I made my comment. Yeah, I know. That's weak. :pinkiesad2:

7951801 Check your group invitations. :raritywink:

Pinkie got it.

This was weirdly satiisfying:pinkiehappy:

This is the story of my life right now.

7954226 What IRL bird might be doing this to you?

You got the title from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, right?

The heck, Pinkie Pie?

He's my boss, so I think that sums most of it up.

7951670 Trash dove lifestyle is the best lifestyle.

In which Pinkie Pie discovers hedonistic nihilism. And also Nietzsche I think maybe?

For a story about garbage, this is remarkably un-trashy :raritywink:

Your style is so freewheeling, man. I get a really particular vibe, like you took a shot of tequila and then banged this whole thing out in one breath. Love it!

You are correct!

Good stuff. I especially empathized with the author's struggle in incorporating Rainbow Dash into the story. Very relatable.

I’m glad I was able to incorporate relatable characters meta. She gets her own times to shine fortunately: https://www.fimfiction.net/user/116672/Super+Trampoline/stories?q=%23rainbow-dash+&order=latest

It started innocuously enough. A plum-coated bird fluttered into Ponyville. It was wearing a breezy woven sunhat and galoshes. It seemed pretty innocent. Rarity took a fancy to it. "How adorable! Simple, yet chic. A herald for spring fashion!"

aww, i can just imagine Rarity declaring such a thing! i love her

"Aaaaagh! I did not order pigeon soup!" she shrieked.

a meat soup? can you even imagine such horrors?

Lyra was the next victim. A bird stole her phone. Most ponies weren't sure what she was talking about though, because most ponies didn't know what phones were. Twilight made a note to check the access log on the mirror to the human world.

not sure what Lyra even does with that thing without there being wi-fi or 5G in Equestria!

Some--usually near Sugar Cube Corner--were seen to have little party hats and noise makers. Pinkie Pie swore she had no involvement.

sus

They flung their heads down, their beaks almost touching the sky, before launching their necks back up again.

oh hey, it's that gif! always fun!

She labored to help them all, and to give the ones that didn't make it a proper funeral and burial, but the numbers overwhelmed her, and she quickly resorted to mass unmarked graves or even funeral pyres.

oh no, poor Fluttershy!

For once, Rainbow Dash didn't really have anything to say. I just felt I needed to mention this since the other Mane 6 all show up.

so true

"The trash doves flew in, lived vigorously, and died, all within a month. Their existence was short and--seemingly--meaningless. But are we not the same, living and dying in the blink of an eye? What is our presence to the trees or the mountains? What is our presence to the stream or the sky? We may alter the Earth, but will it care when we are gone?"

really makes you think

Rainbow looked like she had something to say, but Pinkie pressed on.

phew, almost let Rainbow be a part of the story! can't have that!

Our creator has abandoned us, and our gods are weak.

hehe, it is fun that these phrases are literally true about this world

"Making ponies happy makes me happy, and in making ponies happy, I myself am happy, for I have given myself purpose. I thus declare that seeking joy is a worthy pursuit. Let me then expand my claim: Devoid of meaning, a life of happiness is worth pursuing.

"This is why I party, and this is why the trash dove flops."

wonderful pastiche of Nietzsche or whatever! what can i say besides that i endorse this? life is absurd and even when it is not randomly horrific, it is cruelly short. we are all indeed trash doves, eating from the garbage can of life, and must make our own meaning and truly savor our freedoms and joys while we can

I'm thrilled you enjoyed this! Especially since you're a fellow author who enjoys combining comedy and nilism into absurdity. It took me about a year after writing this to realize I believed in absurdism and that this was the best story I've written.

not sure what Lyra even does with that thing without there being wi-fi or 5G in Equestria!

Play flappy bird?
