Twilight and Pinkie Pie don't have much in common. That doesn't mean they can't learn from each other, though.

Twilight and Pinkie Pie don't necessarily appreciate what the other one's devoted to. That doesn't mean they can't learn to appreciate them, though.

Twilight and Pinkie Pie don't necessarily have special feelings for each other.

Give it a year, though, and...


Written for the lovely Angel Midnight for Jinglemas 2021. Your prompt convinced me to think about two characters I don't normally think about in a whole new light, and I'm honestly very thankful for that. I suppose teaching me to appreciate something a bit more is your Christmas gift to me, eh?

All of my thanks to Stinium for helping me edit this story.

Thank you so much for writing this for me. It was absolutely adorable... *hugs* Happy Hearth's Warming!

A massively underrated piece. On the surface, it's a simple story that seeks to bring Twilight and Pinkie into relationship, but it's really more than that. There's a few things that really made this piece shine, such as the characterisation of Pinkie and Twilight. Both their personalities were authentic; observe Pinkie's sometimes over-the-top commentary and babbling, and Twilight's anxiety and concern over their plans.

Yet, through their own lenses, their own points of view, the two are able to portray, in their own way, their concern for each other. They show how much they had meant to each other, through their actions or dialogue. It's interesting to note that Twilight had shown her concern by vocalising and asking, while Pinkie had let her actions speak louder than her words. Their, perhaps, imitations of each other's thought processes, ideas or mannerisms showed an appreciation, and perhaps an adulation for each other.

Over time, the story manages to package their emotions for each other in a nuanced manner, which helped to inspire an uplifting ending that was undeniably satisfying. Indeed, it sometimes takes a gentle nudge in the right direction to set things off in a Rube Goldberg machine sort of way. This actually reminds me of the congruency between the title, the actual, physical nudging of the snowball down the hill, and the nudging of emotional feelings for each other.

Great job, Petri. I wonder where this nudge would lead though...

That was a good story.

D'awwwww, adorable story, have a like and a Derpy :derpytongue2:
