Pinkie is extremely unsettled when the words comprising the story she's in are suddenly replaced by emojis.
An entry to Bicyclette's A Thousand Words Contest under the Experimental category. I'm also somewhat generously going to call it Humor.

Only Pinkie would get into a bizarre situation
Happy noodle/meal horse world? My Little Pony?
An enjoyably creative idea.
Re: your authorial comment about icons and words: (after testing-->) the icons may be system-counted as separate words if you put spaces in-between them. I am mentioning this in case it will be useful rather than as a criticism--indeed, one of the contest rules (as I recall) was that humor and experimental stories can break the word counts. Which I think was a great rule exception.
WTF did I just not read?
It feels like I'm trying to read Egyptian
I understood enough to follow most of what happened, though I didn't get all of it. I'm sorry we didn't get to see ๐๐ฆ and ๐โก๏ธ๐ค๐ด to see what they thought of the situation. Maybe ๐โ๏ธ๐ฆ or ๐๐๐ฆ could have helped?
Wow, I understood a surprisingly large fraction of this. There are way too many little clever things for me to point out, but I especially liked the sheep as 'sheepishly' and 'dice demon' as discord.
And I thought my comments were bad.....
Using emoji...
and I still do nothing
Eat cake
I- Okay.
I love the Pony Life reference!
If as ๐ฉโ๐๐ฌ๐ผ๐ฐโ ฏ๐ฃ, this might be one longest stories Iโve ever read.
I canโt even.
How bad of a person am think that translates to โAJ loosed a prize winning, musical fartโ?

Lol, that second one is supposed to be that she hummed once. The first is intentionally uninterpretaable; it's Discord trolling the reader.

Itโs always ๐คธ๐ฅ๐ with that guy.
Nice work, ๐งป.
Does that mean what I think it does? (Pinkie Pie teleported to Fluttershy's toilet)
If only I could see emoji rather than empty boxes, I might know what the title has in it. :V

Exactly.
Had to read this one on my phone; a good chunk of the โtextโ displayed as little squares of Unicode on my laptop.
In any case, certainly interesting and undeniably experimental. Perhaps a bit too meta for its own good, but it still made for an enjoyable puzzle, and the textual dialogue made for a good touchstone to keep things from going completely off the handle. All told, a fun bit of surrealityโฆ though thereโs an argument for exploiting the โemojis donโt countโ principle to provide a longer plot arc that could resolve the crisis.
Eh, you did what you set out to do. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the judging.
i feel like "๐ฆ๐" stands for "Equestria", but then don't know what verb "๐ฅก" represents. emojis "took out Equestria"?
hehe, that is a cute name for Pinkie
ah, "๐" as a "present tense" marker?
hehe, hard to know what "๐ฉ๐ฎ" would have been exactly in Ponish but the meaning feels clear in emoji form
aww, glad nothing's wrong to other ponies! also, Nurse Redheart, of course!
hehe, talking to herself, as Ponks often does
and of course she would be hamming it up in her little detective costume, classic
guess "๐ฐ" is meant to be "quickly", but the other parts of this sentence elude me. something right angle?
aww, Princess Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Castle! i love her
hehe, i like how this is one of those dialogue tags that ends a full sentence
Spike!
augh, what is "๐ฅ ๐"? unsure of her goal?
aww, Twilight's not awake by her schedule yet? or forbid entering her bedroom by her rules? that is what
makes me think
aww, she's busy being hard at work doing important document stuff? that is so her!
hehe, her asking what's wrong again, but slowly?
there's that "๐ฅ ๐" again!
hehe, very Pinkie thing to do
hehe, "๐ค๐ด" for pegasus, cute! and i guess "โ" is a preposition like "to", but then i would think an arrow is more appropriate there
ahaha aww, poor Flutters!
aww, is "๐" her being quiet? being lost? how is a desert a verb???
yay Discord
ah, so he knows something about "๐๐ฅก๐ฆ๐", interesting
hehe, he promises that it wasn't him
ah, he made a halo appear on himself to emphasize his point? or Discord's shadow was doing something separately?
guessing that is something so disturbing that it is somehow only communicable in emojis and not Ponish
aww, poor Fluttershy!
yay Applejack!
haha this took me a second. and i'm not the only judge, you know! also, i don't have long hair!
i certainly hope so!

well that was certainly unexpected and interesting! an experimental fic if i've ever seen one, up to getting if anything much too meta toward the end, making it "experimental" in the metafictional way as well. great job!
I'm glad I discovered this. It reminds me to purchase a copy of Emoji Dick the next time I can snag a 30% off coupon for Lulu (I'd also stock up on horse fiction once I find such a coupon).
I feel sorry for the people who get tons of empty unicode boxes on their screen instead of emojis. What's even worse is when you download a story to read on an e-reader, and have to scroll through pages of random numbers. That happened to me once, as my kindle doesn't support emojis.๐
I always enjoyed James Corden's "Emoji News," even though I sucked at deciphering the emojis. I'm thankful for the comments explaining "what the fuq I just read," (thank you, ๐๐ฒ๐ฉ!) and will figure the rest of it out some day!
"Emojis are taking out Equestria"?
