Pinkie Pie is being a bit silly.
...No, really!
Up until recently things were fine and super and good and now, suddenly, her heart's all twisted in knots like a pretzel! And she doesn't like pretzels very much! Especially when it only happens when she's talking to her most generous friend, who doesn't deserve a pretzel at all.
Surely, though--her other friend Twilight would know what to do about it. She could figure it out, certainly. She's the smartest, cleverest, most incredible pony ever and...
...
Oh.
Oh... Right.
Pinkie feels even more like a pretzel when Twilight is around.
(not a Raripie/polyamory fic, sorry!!)
((or a Rarilight fic for that matter))
despite what the title suggests, this is not a Rarity-centric fic or from the perspective of her, hence why she's the third character tagged and not the first!! she's just the main topic of this fic, if that makes sense. i was inspired by the song "Heather" by Conan Gray and it gives me TwiPie vibes for some apparent reason so i cooked this up in my brain hehehe
LMAO GET FUCKED BEARDY BOY
Them swapping the sweater and jacket was so cute it had me kicking my feet like a schoolgirl! I love the narrative voice, it feels so appropriately off kilter for a story focused on Pinkie, and of course I'm ALWAYS a sucker dor some Twippy
Looking forward to the rest of the fic
YES, WOO
You write Pinkie's thought so well dude. Hyper but not unfocus, most of the time
Cute start, hoping for more
Cheers!

KJDSHGAHAHAHHAHAH
we all know who the REAL greatest spellcaster is
EEEE THANK YOUUUUUU!!!! i've got SO many TwiPie fics planned now ughhhh it is a curse /pos
12072356
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH honestly i worry a lot about writing her cause i wanna do her justice so bad!!! i love her so much and toeing the line between writing her hyper and crazy without going too over the top and making her annoying is a bit challenging, but i'm glad to know it seems i'm geting the hang of it at least!!! :DDD
thank you for reading!!
12072669
Yeah, Glimglam, obviously
12072738
HECK YEAH
Because it's Pinkie, I'm gonna guess Pinkie Pie's stomach did a literal flip.
Yeah that's not surprising.
AAAAAGH, YOU TEASE!
Good story so far, excited to read more.
12074809
oh you know it
HEHEHEHE
thank you so much!!!! :DDD
Oof. A punch is still a punch even if you expected it, goddamn!
Stellar writing as always!
12076820
HEHEHE
thank you so much!!! :D
Well you'll never know.
Well that's surprising.
Oh no.
12077158
I'm not surprised.
Well that was fast.
Spike has been hanging around Twilight too much. It was bound to happen eventually.
... Then...?
There getting off topic and I think that cut off is Spike realizing that Pinkie is probably avoiding the topic.
.... Wait what?
I doubt it.
If what im understanding correctly from the hundreds of romance stories I have read, having romantic feelings towards someone makes you have irrational thoughts.
Your crush could be giving one of there friends a hug and you would think there together while everyone else would just see them as 2 friends hugging each other.
I'm confused.
12079119
you described exactly what's going on here with Pinkie LMBO
GOOD. sorry that sounded mean kdhkjsdhjkds i just mean it's meant to be confusing! Pinkie is entirely using faulty logic here and going around in circles because to her, no other explanation can make sense at this point; not because she's purposely choosing to be ignorant, but because her emotions won't let her see the situation for anything else. brains and emotions can be stupid like that when you're right down in it in the moment!!

That is incredibly-on brand all things considered. One of Pinky's most recurring character traits (when cannon writers weren't going out of the way to flanderize her) is her ability to "snowball" into her own thought process, usually building up to a climax not dissimilar to a balloon inflating till it pops.
As a result, she jumps ahead in conclusions, usually angling towards the most extreme ones, like when she assumed Twiilight didn't believe she was capable of taking care of the cake twins, or when she though Applejack broke a pinkie promise (honestly I still say she did, but even if Pinkie was correct it doesn't warrant the rage that followed).
If there is one thing the most vibrant Pie sister is likely to do, it's assume the worst-case scenario, and you did a great job using that for the narrative.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS exactly!!! i think another really great example that shows Pinkie's jumping to conclusions is "Party Of One" (which. i unfortunately relate to that episode a lot to be fair and i totally get why Pinkie would assume the worst of her friends :'))
thank you!!! Pinkie's a lot like me for better or for worse and i love writing her!
12082487
You too? That episode kinda hurt for me, her friends should have sent someone like Fluttershy to occupy pinkie while they set things up, to outright abandon her and hope she would forgive them when she realized the party was for her was just.... ugh...
Not to mention the idea that thinking oneself has been overbearing without realizing it until their friends are sick of them is very relatable. It's like remembering that one cringy thing that was said years ago turned up to eleven.
PERSONAL EXPERIANCE DUMP: I regularly worry that whenever I get done with a table-rpg session with my work-friends that I was hogging too much attention because I got too into the moment, and gets hard for me to believe they don't find me irritating.
THAT is how I think Pinkie felt in "Party Of One". Pinkie felt abandoned because she felt like she deserved to be abandoned, it made sense in her mind.

YEAH hhhhhh i really wish there had been SOMETHING?? like, idk it just felt like,, we didn't really get much payoff at the end either like. Pinkie's depression was kind off just forgot about. and i get that it's MLP and they aren't going to dwell on that but i just wished the others had apologized more or been more concerned about her rather than things just going back to normal as soon as it was clear they threw a party for her. the rest of them 100% should have realized what it did to her and touched on it more, regardless of if she was over-assuming. i would have been okay with no one helping her when she was depressed and upset as long as they spoke more about it but they really didn't and that episode always makes me feel horrible for Pinkie
EXACTLY. again it would have been a good episode to touch bases on both!!! to not assume the worst of your friends/trust them and on the other hand have those friends take into account your anxieties about that kind of thing. i feel like they missed out on that big time. and i'm sorry you have to deal with that kind of anxiety too. it's the absolute worst
yeeppppp. THAT'S what bothers me the most about it. she wasn't just assuming they hated her, she believed it so thoroughly because they gave her no room to believe anything else; that and the fact she was so quick to jump to it is something that really should have been addressed because that is NOT a healthy mindset. she should have been taken more seriously all around i think. again i know it's just MLP and it doesn't have to be that deep but as someone who can really relate to Pinkie it feels like it SHOULD have been that deep kjhdskjhskj
honestly this whole conversation is just giving me more ideas on how to handle that episode when i get to it and the aftermath in my other TwiPie fic lol

Well, If you don't mind, I'd like to toss a few thoughts towards "Griffon the Brush-off"(specifically the party at the end of it). Though if you already have plans for it, or simply don't feel the need to cover it, then I'll just leave the idea be. It is a bit long and I get a bit passionate over it, so I'd rather Dm you my thoughts than clog up your comment section any further if you want it.
12082827
ooo i'd love if you could DM me your thoughts!!!
