Twilight's castle has gone through many wild and life altering changes over the years. What once was a simple library was now the seat of a princess and her council. Not only that, over the years it's played host to so many new and interesting people; each one memorable in their own way.

Which makes it all the stranger that there's this pony tending to the books lately that nobody seems to know... But she seems so familiar!


Top featured 12/5/23-12/11/23! I couldn't be prouder! Thanks to everyone.

This is exactly what Book Horse would do.

The joke writes itself.

Thank you for this, I enjoyed it!

11767951
Yeah, so you just put down what i was about to. :rainbowlaugh: Because, yeah. This is so something bookhorse would do

"...Is now a bad time to say you have not paid me in three years?"

God damn some one has a debt to pay ☠️☠️

Oh, brother. Least it aint with Sunset this time. Take your damn fav and upvote.

This story is not categorized correctly. It is captivating, very well written, and thought provoking. But...

This is not a comedy, it is a tragedy. This is one of the most depressing, sad stories I have read on this site. Wallflower being constantly forgotten, Twilight experiencing what is essentialy a person-specific case of Dementia...

This almost brought me to tears. I hope to see more from you, word-smith.

The core of all great comedy is tragedy.

Hahahaha, cute!

I Love this haha!:rainbowlaugh:

Would it be too much to ask for a Multiverse chapter story of this? Please?

11768090
Same concept as this story but multi chapter. An arc or two of Twilight trying to figure out why she keeps forgetting Wallflower and how to make it up to her. Be a fun concept I think.

I definately enjoyed this story. Very well written with just enough detail added to not bog down the flow of the story.

However, I did notice one logical contradiction in this story. I don't know if it was intentional or overlooked.

"...Aaand at least twice every month... You also have been spelling my name wrong on the checks..."

and

"...Is now a bad time to say you have not paid me in three years?"

How can Twilight not have paid Wallflower and also mispelled her name on checks? Did I miss something?

Shortly after the first comment, she says "just kidding". The overall joke is "I'm kidding, you don't even pay me".

11768104
Ok, this may be the first "Wallflower is forgotten" joke that actually made me laugh in a good way

"I'm just kidding," a brief, playful smile touched at Wallflower's visage, which brought a touch of comfort to Twilight.

Wallflower was joking about the misspellings. The last comment could be a joke or could be the reason the misspelling comment was false.

Imagine being so socially awkward that you don't bring up your lack of pay to your boss. And instead you keep working.

1. how could she survive without getting paid for her job lmao
2. WHY DO YOU WORK A JOB THAT HASN'T PAID YOU IN 3 YEARS?

11768138
You can assume that over the three years she has brought it up. But Twilight keeps forgetting.

"That was mean Wallflower. You know she put me in charge of paychecks after the third time she forgot."

"C'mon Spike. Watching her squirm is half the fun of this job."

11768057
Tragedy plus time. The second part is critical.

11768110
I was trying to think how one misspells the name. Can you spell Wall? Flower? Blush? You've got it down, then. Only way I could see Twilight mispelling the name would be the spaces. Wall Flower Blush. Wall Flowerblush. Wallflowerblush. Of course, another question is, if Wallflower hasn't been paid in three years, how is she paying her bills? Why hasn't she quit?

All that being said, this made me realize we need more Pony Wallflower stories. Heck, since most stories with her are shipfics with Sunset, it'd be interesting to see her shipped with other people/ponies.

11768194
Wailflower Bush is a feasible way.

11768141
Ponyconomy.

Immigrating from Canterlot is like going to a third world country with US dollars.

She rich.

As a big EQG fan and someone who always supports Wallflower Blush representation, this had me laughing for a straight 10 minutes. Definitely one of the most unforgettable Wallflower fics of all time.

Also, glad to see the Wallflower art I got is getting some use too!

11768255
Oh, you had it commissioned? It's very nice. I saw it yesterday, and it inspired me to write the whole story. So this one is dedicated to you, I suppose.

You nearly made me pee myself!

The disrespect on my goat Wallflower is insane :rainbowlaugh:

"When I cut my finger, it's a tragedy. When you fall into an open manhole and die, it's comedy."

It's easier to borrow from the pantry and sleep in a guest room when nopony can remember you.

11768141
Volunteer work ?

To be fair, Tirek did have a very large hand in blowing up the original library, both literally and figuratively.

As for Wallflower, the big problem is that she came in with Twilight on the chariot ride. We've seen how easily Purplesmart's old Canterlot colleagues slip her mind. Clearly Wallflower needs to reintroduce herself as a friendly Ponyville native the next time this happens and she'll shift to a higher priority bin in Twilight's mental sorting algorithm.
(Alternatively, this is human Wallflower gaslighting Twilight for fun and, thanks to those back wages, profit, with Starlight and Spike's collusion.)

In any case, funnier than it probably should be. Thank you for a most amusing read.

Oh, the cringe. I love it!

You also have been spelling my name wrong on the checks..." Every step they made towards the exit was another foot into the grave for Twilight, "I'm just kidding," a brief, playful smile touched at Wallflower's visage, which brought a touch of comfort to Twilight.

"...Is now a bad time to say you have not paid me in three years?"

The joke becomes not a joke if the reason her name hasn't been misspelled on her checks yet is because she in fact hasn't received a check yet.

Almost needs a sequel... just not sure what to make the jokes off of.

Just love seeing a pony Wallflower.

Plot twist: This is actually Wallflower's first day in the palace. The entire story is one long practical joke Starlight and Spike have been playing on Twilight about them having another pony on staff.

"Sounds great—Something wrong, Twilight?" Starlight quickly picked up on Twilight's barely restrained embarrassment as she kept her lip buttoned, "...Waaaaait... Oh no..." Starlight's muzzle started to wiggle into a smile as the revelation dawned on her, "...You thought Wallflower was a guest, didn't you?"

So she frequently forgets her existence? Like completely erased from memory like she was never there to begin with?:twilightoops: There must some magic at play.

First, I love the cover! you could tell me the name of the author or pass me the link from where you got it? now the story, I find it interesting so I will read it

11768723
There's a source link on the image if you mouse over it. However, I guess Big Sanji here was the one who dreamed it up. So give them all the praise.

a little short, but as someone said in the comments, for Twilight to forget the presence of Wallflower there must be some magic involved, do not know, maybe a spell went wrong and had the side effect for Twilight to forget someone? and as Wallflower was close the spell was destined for her

11768729
Who knows? I really didn't think this story was going to take off the way it did, so maybe I will do a follow up.

This made me less sad and more sad at the same time.

I think my head is starting to leak too...

Twilight's Wallflower in front of Sunset Wallflower Who can make Twilight crazier!:twilightsheepish:

(Alternatively, this is human Wallflower gaslighting Twilight for fun and, thanks to those back wages, profit, with Starlight and Spike's collusion.)

That was exactly what I was thinking as soon as both Starlight and Spike greeted Wallflower... This has to be a prank...

I love Wallflower's expression. She is done with everyone's shit.

A more comedic ending probably would have been for this to all be an elaborate prank by Starlight, Spike and Wallflower to fuck with Twilight.

This story is actually kinda depressing.

11769160
Some people have pointed that out. I don't know. I find a certain level of misery funny. Sometimes it's a bit much, sometimes not. But, all the talk HAS given me an idea for a sequel.

11769163
Maybe it reminds me too strongly of The Background Pony. That fic was an outright miserable read at times.

"My name is Wallflower Blush, and you will not remember me. . . ."
