Story: Cupcake's Day Out

[Grimdark] Speaking of toys, and Cupcakes, someone wrote a story about that recolor toy that was posted a while back.  I am going to use this pie pony as a place holder because I don't think the recolor actually exists in the show! So.. enjoy the story!
Description: CUPCAKE is good at just about everything she does. It just takes a little practice, some hard work, and maybe a bit of luck!

Wow. I was hoping it would end with a wake up or 'it was all a dream', but not that! I feel this deserves a grimdark tag, blog brony.

Its like someone took the characters from Twilight and the ending from shutter island and replaced everything with ponies. Great read though. Seconding Grimdark tag.

Actually when I was writing this I was sorta' inspired by the movie "The Cabaret of Dr Caligari". It's an old black and white flick worth anyone's time who wishes to see it. Have not seen or read Twilight though, so I'm not too sure what you mean there. Glad you enjoy it. :)

I had a feeling there was going to be a twist ending... but that was just too... sad...

Heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking. You did well, and I commend you, though I still feel a little like crying.

That brought a tear to my eye, few things are able to do that, well done!

Id love to see more of this, maybe even a bawww category. It's nice to see something other than shipping fics

Aww, poor Cupcake! Hopefully she can make a recovery...

Hey, a few questions for Sethisto (assuming he sees this):

Why isn't this showing up in the story archive?

Wouldn't this be more "sad" than "grimdark"?

Here's a cupcake image you could use for this:

Princess Luna sees all beneath her moon we can assume, I wonder what she thinks of this poor mad pony?

P.S. After all, another word for a mad person is 'lunatic.'

That's some good story. Nicely sad, with just a touch of totally hopeless. Some people say the end is telegraphed too much, but I thought it worked out pretty well.

That was excellently written! I don't usually read stories about anyone but actual characters, but this was definitely worth the read
