"Fluff" in the same way what collects under the sofa is fluff.

William, local human, has set himself aside a comfortable, quiet slice of his day to put together a bookcase. As you do.

Events conspire to prevent this.

I'm more curious why everypony thinks William is prime comforting material.

Hate it when that happens, but you gotta do the right thing and be there for them. Once it's all over, and things have settled down you can get on with life happy to know you helped someone in need.

He's good with his hands.

We all have our moments of weakness, so it's only fair to be there when others have theirs.

After all, we wouldn't like to be left high and dry, would we?

I wish i had this man's patience

I believe Lyra started that rumor, with much grinning and waggling of eyebrows, "Know what I mean? Eh governor'? Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!"

This is Celestia's fault. Somehow.

where in equestria building a book case translates to going to commit suicide and only sad cuddles can stop it

He was literally trying to build a literal bookcase - it's in the title!

This taught me to open my door for nobody. Thanks!

My episodes of the show teach terrible lessons.

10391446
yeah but he could have mentioned that to some pony they got the wrong idea and suddenly he got all the ponies trying to save him

10391168
He's a deft manipulator ifyouknowwhatImean

Knock if you cry evry tiem

Billy. Bookcase. Really?

“Once is a coincidence,” he said to himself, brow furrowed. “Twice is a pattern. What’s three times?

Enemy action.

Eventually, at length, he finally got around to fiddling with his knob and opening himself up to the world.

:duck:

Or even use one of her sibling’s beds? Didn’t she have at least one sibling? He was sure they’d been mentioned at some point.

I think it was one of 2Merr's humans who called them Small AJ and Boy AJ.

well at least he was not building something from ikea or he really be doomed

Well, it could have been worse. He might have asked Derpy to help him build the Ikea furniture.

Bet he's never seen a bookshelf spontaneously combust, explode, then explode a second time.

Oh 2Merr! I should go and re-read all of You're Getting Better again.

And hey! My bookcase joke is sublime!

10391566
I hate to break this to you...

Also, Ikea stuff really ain't that hard to make, really.

10391617
She means well though!

And she's just so cute!

They're all so cute!

10391656
i like to see you build a ikea product with the entire population of MLP trying to help out

While I’m sure that everyone needs a good cry now and then this is taking it a bit too far don’t you think? Man was not meant to handle that much sadness all at once. Too much can lead to such things as dehydration, excessive petting, over-snuggle and even mostly dead.

Hahahaha! The poor lad.

Amazing story as always.

And then they were upon him.

All I can see is this human x pony hybrid of Voltron standing at a door looking out to this sea of ponies as the thunderous approach sound clip plays.

William, as a fellow who shares your name (middle for me), I salute you and will never forget your sacrifice.

10391528
I get it. I have one. Very reliable Billy

I believe the phrase is once is happenstance, twice is coincidence and thrice is right out(conspiracy)

10392034
Hey, Mostly Dead isn't that bad, it's Slightly Alive, after all.

The quote was originally from the Ian Fleming novel Goldfinger. "Mr. Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action."

10393487
Ah. I have had the misfortune of missing Goldfinger.

Hope he doesn't drown from the mass of tears.

Eventually, at length, he finally got around to fiddling with his knob and opening himself up to the world.

... And the fairer sex say we can't multitask! :trixieshiftright:

10392503
True, one can still snuggle even while slightly alive.

BILLY!

(If you understand this, you are CLEARLY a man of culture! And not at all of shmentai! You also probably have a dumb high IQ of 189!) :trollestia:

Thats adorable, sad but adorable

I don't know about you all but this kind of knocking would seem infinitely more preferable to engine knocking.

The Ikea pun is horrible and you should feel bad.

“Maybe I should start crying too?” He asked himself, quietly.

Same.

he was groping about with on account of having a faceful of pink belly,

The fact William did NOT blow raspberries into the pink belly of Ponk is a great displeasure. Surely no pony tum-tum when presented should be left un-bubbled.

He was under a lot of stress, we all make mistakes.

And my pun was boss.

Dead grandpa, "Remember, Billy! Natural causes!"

(Oh come on, half the people on here weren't even zygotes when that South Park episode aired.)

Hmph, their fault for being born too late.

Putting the thing together would, of course, be trivial. The long-running, cliched joke of people losing their minds while attempting to construct flat-pack furniture had never been especially accurate - assuming you didn’t wipe your arse with the instructions before hurling them out the window (which would be thoughtless as well as shortsighted).

Must not have encountered the Chinese manufactured goods.

And then they were upon him.

Dear lord, tag this with horror!

Sweet Celestia...if i were to be in his position i would stop after the third time!:applejackconfused: i would instantly know that all 6 would arrive and then just take my best chances of surviving this or else i might cry from overexhaustion or just go to bed and just drop dead forgetting the bookcase, RIP WILLIAM! HE WAS PONYPILED TO DEATH AFTER THE MANE6 ALL ARRIVED AND CLANG ONTO HIM FOR CRYING FOR VARIOUS REASONS! He will forever be missed - aslong as he is ponypiled

Fun fact. The egg was also really suggestive at first as it only had a single slit for the opening on first draft.
