Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie. Sometimes, I wanna die, and that probably sounds super sad to you, and it should be super sad for me too. But when I think about the perfect way to go, it just... makes me smile.

And I really wish it didn't.

Let's just move on.

I started this a while ago when I wasn't feeling too great, and only got around to finishing it recently. I'm actually doing relatively fine now, thanks to some wonderful friends. I mean, I wouldn't say no to a hug, but I don't need one, haha. Hope you liked the story.

This is going to sound incredibly cold, but let me explain myself:
The first chapter, to me, was immensely funny. The bluntness of characters being happy she was gone, and regarding her swinging corpse so casually was a horrific bit of dark comedy. Not to mention the later bits where they go so far as to throw an entire PARTY celebrating her passing and conversing over how awful she was. Man that was just absolutely BRUTAL. Not to mention Gilda eating popcorn waiting for Pinkie to kill herself.

However, I understand the point of these chapters, and perhaps this was my own twisted reaction to things that went off in an entirely different direction.

Regardless, you colored the perspective of someone going through these issues accurately to the point where I question if you did some research on the subject, or experienced this yourself. I hope you've fully recovered now, because as i've gone through it myself, it's quite the terrible place to be.

It was sufficiently sweet as a story and a decent perspective on the thought process regarding this sort of thing. So good stuff.

Yeah, it was kind of meant to be ridiculous, as it kind of represents the unrealistic and ideal way for it all to happen, at least in Pinkie's (and my own) mind. Like, it's all just one massive favor being done for everyone, and none of the real consequences exist for anyone left behind. And Gilda eating popcorn was certainly intended to be silly too, very much to highlight the kinds of cognitive dissonance I've felt, with part of me thinking of it as funny and not a big deal (and kinda fun!), while also knowing it's serious. It can seem simultaneously like a good ol' time just waiting to happen and also a serious and very real threat.

And yeah, the only research I did for this story was for MLP-related continuity. Everything else is just based on my own past experiences. While I wouldn't say I've fully recovered, I'm definitely in a place where, when it crops up, I know how to handle it, so I'm fine at the moment. It sounds like you've also found your way past it, and that's good to hear. And I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Thank you for the comment.

Nice story, with an interesting twist at the end. It would be nice if we could do what Twilight did in the real world. Too bad life is not a fairy tale... :ajsleepy:

I cannot relate to this, and that is a good thing. Due to my other mental issues, people around me are often worried that this sort of thing might start happening to me, but thankfully, it has not. However, with my often being around people it has happened to and often getting asked about whether it's happened to me, I can, unfortunately, almost imagine it.

The story is still very well-written, though.

Thank you for sharing this with us.
