Normal pony fiction writer. Clearly not an owl. Looking for comments.

This story is a sequel to Too Many Shining Armors (are Terrible Dads)


Finger Food's life is going pretty well. She's disguising herself well enough that nopony recognizes her as an evil clone of Pinkie Pie from the Mirror Pool. And she's renting an apartment and living with her super-fun husband Puzzle Box, and she's studying at university for a Bachelors in Philosophy.

And she's working on her evil plans to become immortal and have fun for all eternity, while making sure to keep hiding from everypony in Equestria, including Twilight and her friends and extended family.

But one day, long after she graduates and Princess Twilight became the ruler of all Equestria, her Finger Food Sense tells her that there will be a horrible disaster starting in Ponyville that will affect everycreature in Equis, including her, so she takes a break from her evil plans to stop it, by any means necessary.

This story tells the events of its prequel Too Many Shining Armors (are Terrible Dads) from Finger Food's much more serious first person perspective.

The Human tag: All characters are quadrupedal ponies. This story has brief discussions of the Equestrian's government's advice for what to do if a human or other unknown creature is encountered, and there is only the single human that also appeared in the prequel making a brief appearance with no speaking lines in the body of a pony (with no speaking lines) (in the body of a pony makes a brief appearance with no speaking lines)

This is a (withdrawn) submission to the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad Competition, containing an evil Pinkie Pie clone's perspective and thoughts about Shining Armor being a terrible dad, mostly in the last three chapters.


A/N: The death tag: Actual deaths are limited to at least one clone getting sent to the Mirror Pool. Hypothetical deaths include an evil clone inappropriately and elaborately describing their reaction to the Trolley problem, a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number.

Themes of death also include: Fear of death/extinction. The death tag is also there for themes of ponies (other than alicorns) being mortal. It's also there for uses of the spell that send clones to the Mirror Pool, as perceived by Finger Food. This is a dark tragedy for the main character. The spell usage is similar to events in Too Many Pinkie Pies (Season 3, Episode 3), and that episode is rated TV-Y (suitable for all ages).

Other miscellaneous tags

  • The Dark Forest Hypothesis as a story theme (simplified version: characters that shoot and ask questions later, or hide as well as they can to avoid getting shot)
  • Not a crossover, but this story has a few jokes about Undertale
Chapters (7)

"I could make some pretty hilarious impressions, like the time Princess Celestia got drunk and sent her royal guards to the moon for their opinions about bananas!โ€

I would imagine that it would go something like this:
:trollestia:You're a bitch that doesn't like bananas? Well, that's good, 'cause you ain't finding any bananas... ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNAAAA!! BEE-YETCH!!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Yeah, that's the exact joke that I had in mind. I had a more serious version of that joke in

So, with the whole end of this...

How long until Flurry realises she basically killed someone's wife, clone or no? The whole clone thing here has to be discovered eventually.

I had plans for sequels, but they're just outlines right now.

Timeline-wise, it'd probably be the same day, or the day after, between the promises she made, the guards overhearing her name, and her husband noticing she was still gone

The sequel makes a brief reference to their fate in a single paragraph, off-handedly, thousands of moons later.

Twilight also sent me and Shining Armor to Magic Kindergarten, which was thankfully just a nickname for extra magic and ethics classes for unicorns. And sheโ€™d brought back all the clones Iโ€™d sent to the Mirror Pool, and worked things out. In retrospect, it should have been completely obvious that I shouldnโ€™t have banished clones that acted exactly like real ponies.
