“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” - Patrick Rothfuss

T
O/A

Following the disaster of the Grand Galloping Gala, the girls witness Pinkie Pie hugging the cello player that she had previously been harassing. The strange part, however, was that the cellist hugged her back.

Which led to Pinkie telling them about her sister - Octavia.


A simple story for Pride And Positivity 2021.

This was a cute and quick little thing! I really liked it.

THat was mega cute

That was cute. I don’t understand why the ratio of likes to dislikes is so poor. The transphobia is really obvious right now smh

Nice job :)

In the early days of the show, when canon was limited and speculation was wild, some fans actually suggested that Octavia might be one of Pinkie's sisters grown up, judging from the colors. Other fans mocked those fans. Although I can't prove it, I suspect Octavio is a callback to that by the writers, which I find rather cool.

I'll be honest, the idea that Octavio is just an unheard of brother to Pinkie, Maud, Limestone and Marble is just crazy, but also kinda makes sense in a way.

Nice. Sad that it has so many dislikes from the phobic and hateful.

You know, it's not always the "phobic" and "hateful" that dislike a story.

On the one hand I like the idea of Octavia being a sister to Pinkie. I even like the notion that what caused the divide was Octavia wanting to be a musician. It shows the Pie family cares a great deal about their children.

But what I'm so tired of, is all the trans stories that focus on M2F, and how there's almost nothing at all for F2M. Show some variety, folks!

To be fair, the architects of our own universe seem to have the same bias; just look at the relative state of bottom surgery for an idea (not exactly blaming the doctors here, the human body is a totalitarian police state that makes adding things much harder than taking them away!)

replies will likely be ignored

And you coming in here to stir shit and then hide is not welcome.

I have no problem with discussion, but stomping in, loudly talking shit and then going "I will not respond" is assholish behavior so get out of my goddamn comments section.

10866103
And then they go and respond apparently while you were typing this, so they're a liar on top of whatever was in that comment I never got a chance to see.

10866098 Fluttershy isn’t in a canon relationship with batpony Trenderhoof

Twilight shiftily looked around. "...Pinkie, why are you looking directly at me?"

lol

Nice story! I loved it

Damn, the amount of casual shade Pinkie was throwing around was so high. Good to know the Pie parents don't exemplify all the worst stereotypes of rural folks. What do they have against art?

10865823
True it’s possible that the dislikes were for other reasons but given the quality of writing and the fact that it doesn’t retread a few specific plots that tend to get downvotes I find it far more likely that bigotry is to blame.

10866263
It's easier to believe bigotry's at work than trolls being at work?

10866309
Given the subject matter? Yes. Also if a troll deliberately downvotes every story containing such subject matter it could be argued they are being bigots.

Ha, this was such a fun read!! I love it <3

This was a neat story. Since I didn’t pay any real attention to Octavio, I didn’t get this connection till you (quite literally) spelled it out. :twilightblush:

This was an adorable story, and that ending is just priceless. Thanks for sharing with us!

ANW

After all, I would never try to conceal a close family relation from your girls until the last possible moment,* setting off a chain of events full of suspicion and confusion that results in nearly toppling a kingdom!^"

*coughTwilightcough

Good story and that ending was top notch.

Who is the My Little Pony Life character in the cover art?

Who is the My Little Pony Life character in the cover art?

That would be Octavio Pie, Pinkie's mysterious brother.

Finally got around to reading this! This is pretty fun, and has a good handle on everyone's voice. And nice to see some Pony Life incorporated! I will say it was a bit odd that Octavia never ended up saying anything in a story about her, though.

Twilight was the one who continued the questioning. "You never told us you had a sister."

”You’re one to talk.”
“Huh?”
“Oh, right, first Gala. We don’t know about Shining yet.”
Huh?
“We’ll get to that later.”

I love the reason why the parents disapproved of Octavia. And I was right, we did get to that later! :derpytongue2:

Delightful stuff; thank you for the cunning bit of canon compatibility. (Though I still like the idea of Marble being FtM.)

A very enjoyable story that is a nice break from a lot of the heartbreaking stories about trans life. Thanks for this! :pinkiesmile:

paycheque

That explains why this story got a bit more red than most.

This is just a sweet little story. There’s not much to add.

Only thing really is that I’m planning on being a musician, and while I can’t disagree with Pinkie’s assessment, I have to disagree on principle.

What a charming little story! Interesting headcanon for Pinkie's extended family, and got a hearty relieved chuckle from me at the actual reason for their parents not approving. Please take this upvote :heart:
