Wearin Hat


Greetings true believer! It is I, the Wearer of Hats! I'm an aspiring writer and on here you'll find my dabblings into the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Enjoy! Hats off to y'all!

A day is defined by the sun and the night by the moon. Time is defined by the minutes making up each moment and by the events that occur in every minute. A definition can make almost anything seem clear after much confusion, but how do you define a pony? Is it what they do that defines them or who they are that defines them? Is a pony defined by what they know or by what they don’t know? For that matter, is it the question they ask or is the question they hide that defines them?

Most importantly, does it really matter who you are?


A/N: This was something I had to get out of my system as it was rotting my mind away. I’m very aware that there is almost no audience for this kind of thing, but I’m actually kind of proud about how this came out and I thought I might as well share this with my favorite community.

By the way, this little piece is indeed focused around one character in particular. In fact, her name is right there in the story if you know where to look. For the sake of maintaining that mystery, do not read the comments before you read this. See if you can figure it out!

Existential angst FTW!

For what it's worth, humans go through this too. From Henry IV Part 2, act three:

Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose
To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude,
And in the calmest and most stillest night,
With all appliances and means to boot,
Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down!
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Or, for that matter, a tiara.

Okay, it took me a little while to figure this out, but when I did, I was all "OH MY GOD THAT IS SO CLEVER THIS MAN/WOMAN IS A GENIUS :pinkiegasp:"
Seriously, this is an amazing idea.

Ok, I'm obviously missing the clues :fluttershysad:

I assure you, her name is in there. You just have to know where to look.

1252900 Ah. Aw, but she's best pony! :fluttercry:

I have just found out who the narrator is... and I got tears in my eyes :raritydespair:

I feel proud of myself for figuring it out without relying on the hidden clue for her name. I couldn't figure out where you hid it until I realized the obvious. This is both very depressing and very good. Once you narrowed it down by saying that the person was an element of harmony, had only two friends written into their background, and went against their race, I knew who it was but the confirmation from the name hidden within was nice. Also, very good on writing in the style such that the name is obvious and hidden. You do a very good job at internal trauma and getting me to see a depressed character and liking them. You also handle mature topics, like suicide, in a manner that does not do it as an insult

Excellent! My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that the "having crushes" paragraph seems to pop up too abruptly to seem like a natural progression of thoughts. Otherwise, this is very good.

Hmm... I have two ideas, and both make me wanna cry...
