Story: Special Derplivery

[Normal] A story by Copper's Top Hat over at /co/ involving Derpy, Rarity, and Twilight. Enjoy.
 Summary: Twilight has never met Ponyville's mail carrier, the one and only Derpy Hooves. When she does, she quickly discovers why other ponies find her a bit...odd.

That....was oddly beautiful.

I don't much care for the coherent Derpy. This onem with her random parlance, studious child and golden heart, is my personal headcanon.
Thank you for this fic.

Hooves down my favourite fic.

Is it just me...or was the author implying that Derpy Hooves is also Summer Breeze? 'Cause that's an awesome twist there.

I love Choppers Top Hat's Derpy stories.

Brian said...

Well, this was just great. Beautiful, even.

It was nice, a little less subtle towards the end but a fun read none the less. :)

I definitely love incoherent Derpy. And the sudden change in demeanor was just pure magic right there.

Is it odd I sometimes see Luna Lovegood in Derpy?

Sound Mind said...

@Anon4: You aren't alone. I caught onto that implication too.

As far as I'm concerned, Derpy being the poet Supper Breeze is just brilliant.

Derpy as a writer makes sense. Quite cute.

Roxor said...

The story wasn't bad, but would it have killed the poster to copy-and-paste it into a text file rather than taking screenshots?

Grif said...

That was a nice twist.

She's a poet and nobody does know it. I hadn't read this story before, very cute and insightful on how fans see the character.

Lucky Sanity said...

I'm not really that interested in poetry, but I sure do want to hear Derpy reciting one X3

I'd love to ask BaldDumboRat if she'd do the 'microwave fresh' line from this. That would be amazing. ^^

Joe said...

Yep! This is awesome.

Zerone said...

I wasn't sure I'd like it after seeing a really derpy Derpy, but the ending more than made of for it. I'm very glad Cereal pulled attention to this!

Ditzy Derp said...

This was one of the first Derpy fics I read, loved it then, love it now.

That ending made me grin like an idiot. I love this, therefore I love the Archeology post.

I knew right from the first post that Derpy was going to be Summer Breeze. But you managed to do it well anyway. Grats.

Present Perfect said...

I do love word salad Derpy. And there's some pretty tasty salad in this one. (Not to mention I can see the meaning in her madness.) This is a great little piece.

Artrageous said...

I liked it quite a bit, incoherent Derpy is awesome.

The screenshots were a pain, makes me want to transcribe it.

Macon said...

That was great! I wonder if this was an influence on the person who wrote "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever" was influenced by this story? I see similarities in the characterizations.

@Macon
Because the person that wrote this also wrote "Today, Tomorrow and Forever"

Stars said...

A lovely story. I love Derpy, and the way this was written was very pleasant and enjoyable. A thank you from me to the author.

I like the story, but there are dozens of psychological and neurological problems that cause people to speak strangely, and none of them are anything like this.

McPoodle said...

This is the version of Derpy I love best. Great story.
