Why does she think with a lisp but talks normally? :/

"Additional Tags: Straight Ship"

Even more shocking than pet shipping.

Well just finished reading it. and ewww dude. you took it too far

That is all.

Miyajima said...

It was amusing, and not long enough that it outstayed its welcome, so to speak.

Personally the bit I found funniest was Pinkie's instant assumption about Twist's motives.

Anonymous said...

So Sethisto..... do we not have lines that can't be crossed? or can we do anything we want as long as the sex isn't too explicit?

Anonymous said...

I knew it was a bad idea to read this, but that Comedy tag drew me in. That ending was NOT COOL. It was funny, though, In a way, but I think I'll go back to staying away from Shipping stories. Ugh, that mental image... X[

Took it a BIT too far, but it was funny. Like how Twist even THINKS with a lisp, that was a nice touch.

Twist is into alligators? What a twist!

What did I just read?

Miyajima said...

Come on, admit it. There's been a lot worse than that ending.

Anonymous said...

Soooo we're allowed to have fillys making out in shipping stories? I know longer have any faith in this fandom anymore. Now where are those cyanide capsules......

Anonymous said...

I am pretty sure gummy is far more intelligent than the filly.

PS:Gummy always gets the filly in the end.

Umm...wow o_O Can someone smack this person in the head? Please? What is going on here?

In short: WTF?

I thought it was funny till the end. Of course thanks to all the comments I thought it would be a lot worse than it actually was

Collective Pre-reader Response- "WTF?"

I agree with that statement

Well that was a big dose of WTF. What sort of individual thinks up this kind of stuff?

Really? Foals now?
Foals?

Seriously.

Anonymous said...

I got over the WTF pretty quickly and LOLz took over. XD I love that shipping chart and things that can come out of it. The crack shipping that caught my eye on that thing was Cheif ThunderhoovesXTwist but TwistXGummy is pretty funny as well.

Ekevoo said...

This fic is waaay too awkwardly funny! XDDDD
WTF indeed.

ToonNinja said...

What. The. F*ck. I never thought there would be a ship as off-putting as GrannyBloom, but apparently a new challenger approaches: GUMTWIST.

I mean, it was written pretty well, and the jokes were decent, but merciful heaven above, that mental imagery will haunt me. In fact, if I didn't know any better...

Fillies and gentlecolts, we may have just been trolled.

Ekevoo said...

WAIT! This is actually the first time ever that the labels Twist and Gummy are each used. That's sad! :C

The_Greener_Grass said...

WTF indeed, funny though. I enjoyed it. Here's to more crack pairings to come lol

Anonymous said...

What is this, I don't even....

Fifth Alicorn said...

I read that. Despite the comments and the remarkably low rating, I bloody read that. And I really shouldn't have. I think Toon above me is right, I REALLY hope this was a trolling effort, otherwise, I shudder to think what would have possessed you to write this story.

*shudder*

Cyan Flash said...

Eh, shipping could be worse, there was that one time with that guy and the roof of his house, and that girl and her wooden stick. But that's another fandom, so I won't get too into that. Those guys were crazy.

I love how Twist thinks with a lisp, that made me laugh. This was made for comedy, so people probably shouldn't take it too seriously.

This story may have opened a can of worms i'm not sure this fandom is prepared for >_>

@frybrainThe link is broken ON PURPOSE. Blogger itself is attempting to save us from.... THIS

Anonymous said...

If Celestia loved you, She wouldn't have let you read this story. Fact.

And yeah, I'm like 96% this was trollery, in a similar (though obviously less extreme) fashion to goatse. Don't blame the bronies; blame the internet.

Anonymous said...

huh...
odd...

Anonymous said...

meh. I've seen worse. I mean, yeah, the ending was a bit... icky, but nowhere near as bad as the comments would have you believe.

More just weird than anything else...

Anonymous said...

I see these people wondering why he would write something like this.

I can't help but wonder......

Have these people ever heard of a joke?

It's a joke, not a sign that the fandom is going down the drain. If you want a sign that the fandom is getting worse, check out that ponies in socks fad, it's starting to get better, but at one point they were being shown as fetish pics.

Compared to that, a joke fic about TwistxGummy is nothing.

pixelkitties said...

At first I was like-
"Oh, this is funny and kind of cute!"

And then I was like-
"OH SWEET CELESTIA NOOOOOOO!"

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous

Lol dude have you even read it? its not a joke. they make out at the end. her tongue slides into the alligators mouth. If thats funny to you, then you must seek therapy. Would be a funny fic if it wasn't for that unneeded ending

Alright, I laughed. That was a pretty good read for how short it was.

arexshortpaw said...

Woah woah woah.

A Twist fic? I didn't know anypony liked Twist.

Stephen Cawking said...

Hey guys, lighten up, at least it's straight shipping for once!

Alexstrazsa said...

These reactions are freaking hilarious. As far as the story goes, it had it's moments. The ending was a bit out there, but it was for the comedy!

ShadowFox04 said...

I'm... Don't... What?

I'll admit I laughed.

@Anonymous

Yes, that is part of the joke.

Absurd situations are often used for comedy.

Yeah, it might not have been funny, but it's still a joke.

Methinks we've been trolled.

Oh my gosh, such a funny little fic. XD

Currently thinking about the pre-readers' facial expressions. Would like pics.

i just read this.

it will definitely destroy the fandom, all of equestria and the internet, too. and then there will be cake.

4/5 for the fun

Anonymous said...

I found this quite amusing.

K said...

Okay, that ending was a little much, but I still got a laugh out of the story. Still, not a shipping I ever expected. Or ever would have. I'm sure Twist can do better than Gummy. Like, say, something sentient. But still, an amusing idea, though thankfully short.

Deviouspie said...

Honestly, I didn't find this funny. It was well written, but there were only two jokes: Twist's lisp and alligator affection, which both got pretty old after a while. Maybe if Pinkie put a bomb in Gummy that could only be disarmed with intimate mouth-to-mouth contact...

Hilarious fic isth hilarious.

Well then its a bad joke. I'm sure i could something about osama bin laden raping babies while their parents watch and just call it a joke too. Then nobody would allowed to be offended right?

Aaaaaaand NOPE.

Actually, this was written pretty well, despite being a little odd.

Twummy? Gwist?

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous

Wait? This actually offended you?

Did someone you know die of an alligator STD?

And the difference between whether or not something is a joke, is if what meant to be funny. So, if someone used your example, but tried to be funny about it, then yes, it would be a joke.

The quality of the joke has no bearing on whether or not it is a joke.

twilightlover21 said...

I have just the song for this situation:
you'be been trolled
youve been trolled
yes you've probably been told!
Don't reply to this guy
he is just trying to get arise!
Out of you yes its true
you respond and that's his cue
to start trouble on the double
while he strokes his manly stubble
you've been trolled
you've been trolled
you should probably just fold!
When the only winning move is not to play!
Yet you keep on trying
mindlessly replying
you've trolled
you've been trolled have a nice day.

Not especially anonymous said...

@Commodore Z
So is the gist of the situation that you're trying to thing of a good name? I'd say Twummy.

How about no.

Oh well.

Brony Neumo said...

As soon as I read: "Twist was just a lonely little filly in Ponyville...until she met the alligator of her dreams." I scooted back about ten feet from my computer in my chair. Seriously, WTF?

It's going to take much willpower to not read this...

Anonymous said...

Oh for Celestia's sake, do people not notice the [Comedy] tag, or are the comments just extra dense today?

This was a joke. It is not meant to be taken seriously. If you were truly offended that a fictional child made out with a fictional alligator (who is only 1 year old, I might add!), then you really, really need to reevaluate some things in your life.

Anyways, I thought this story was pretty hilarious. It had good pacing, and Twist thinking with a lisp was awesome. I demand more shipping chart insanity!

Anonymous said...

Honestly, I'm surprised there's not more Gummy crack fics...

...I haven't been reading many fics lately... but Twist x Gummy is just irresistible.

Asgard said...

@twilightlover21


I want that as my ringtone... XD

Now for the story... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! O_O I laughed, and then promptly threw up at the end... Very well written though, I commend the author for that. I didn't really take it as him/her trolling everyone, I just thing he/she looked at the shipping chart, saw the shipping pair "Tummy", and went "Hmmm... No one's ever made THAT fic before... How would that wor- Well it can't REALLY work, but how can I at least make a comedy out of it?..." and thus, we have the fic we've read today. -_-

ECE said...

Remember the reaction Twi had to the snakes in Winter Wrap-up? Yeah. That.

Just from the description and comments.

Anonymous said...

This was pretty funny. Like everyone else, I WTFed, but the story itself isn't nearly as horrifying as some of these comments would suggest. Lighten up people!

DSNesmith said...

You guys realize this is a parody of shipfics, don't you?

NinesTempest said...

@Anonymous
... In all honesty... yeah. This is probably true of everyone.

though I don't think... anyone has tried.

kogheys said...

I don't get why people get so worked up over this.
I mean, there's a SpikexAngel clopfic out there, so I'd say this one is pretty harmless.

Present Perfect said...

You people are silly! It's obvious not everyone reads things like tags and descriptions all the way. I thought this was hilarious, grossout ending and all.

@arexshortpaw: I like Twist! Though I prefer her shipped with Snails, myself.

InkyPie said...

reptile x little nerd pony srsly wtf

but I will read it anyway it's probably harmless (I hope)

Anonymous said...

All these bronies need to get their panties into LESS of a wad. Srsly. So *THAT ENDING*. BIG WHOOP. It's not like they were playing Seven Minutes in Heaven, jesus. Or, heaven help us, doing more than just *THAT ENDING*. Hell, I've read worse and this is OBVIOUSLY a pure joke story.

Chillax. Hell, I expected a threesome with Twist/Gummy/Pinkie. THAT would have been hilarious!

Pegasi said...

I am getting a good laugh just from your reactions. :D

Midnight Shadow said...

I...wait...what?

...I think you broke the pre-readers.

InkyPie said...

good job on her accent really I had her voice perfectly in mind even if reading it got a lot harder
and the ending was (hm I don't seem to find the right word right now) hilarious maybe well it made me laugh so hard that it hurt really.

Will the two of them be able to hide their forbidden workplace relationship a secret and will the alligators growing teeth cut a painful ending to their relationship watch the next episode of the nerd and the alligator to find out

ToonNinja said...

Oh, I saw the comedy tag, stalwart defenders. It just wasn't that great a comedy. The idea could've been done fairly well, but the critical thing is that it WASN'T.

Anonymous said...

The end was a little abrupt. Would have been interesting if Pinkie had caught them.

Darkhawk1 said...

Well, I can never un-read that. Thanks. Thanks a friggin lot.

BlankFlankBrony said...

I do so enjoy a well-written crackship.

Cold in Gardez said...

Holding steady at 2.7 stars, I see.

Sometimes when I read a story's description, I think to my self, "Maybe I should read some of the comments before opening it up." I'm proud to say that little just saved me some time and mental scarring.

Ith there a FAV button thomewhere?

Stephen Cawking said...

I'm beginning to think that bronies are really humorless creatures

Anonymous said...

I'm kind of disappointed in you guys. So many of you are getting upset over an obvious joke, and a well-written joke at that. It's a funny story, and an obvious parody of crack ships. Quit taking ponies so damn seriously.

Personally I cracked up at the scene where Twist falls in love with Gummy at the party. Great work.

THIS IS NOT THE WORST SHIP POSSIBLE.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

"I can't hold back my feelings anymore!" said Dinky Hooves. "I don't care if my mom objects. I love you!"

"Yes, I'll gladly crawl in your mouth. Aww, is that your way of kissing me?"

THIS MADE ME VERY OFFENDED
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD WRITE ABOUT THIS
NOPONY LIKES TWIST ANYWAY AND I REFUSE TO READ A SHIPPING STORY WITHOUT DASH >:(

PaladinDrakkenwolf said...

Didn't creep me out, was having too much fun watching the people in the google docs chat freaking out.

Nova25 said...

Seriously... this is the first story of Twist in, like, FOREVER!! ...and this is what comes out ?

We near more -Quality- Twist story... seriously... people hating her have such stupid reasons that barely stand against basic argumentation.

Will we (I) have to commission for good Twist Stories, or what ?

(sigh)... anyway... I will read this soon, and know the extent of the damages (with Gummi ? I can only shake my head sadly).

Nova25 said...

@SomeGuy
*Boot to the Head*, and it's free.

ZuTheSkunk said...

...Okay, it wasn't THAT bad. It was actually even good, kinda. I was expecting something MUCH worse after reading the comments. And while I wasn't happy with that kiss at the very end, it still was much more acceptable than the punchline of the Skittles fanfic.

Let's say, 4/5. Well-written, has a few nice moments, and feels like a generally not bad joke, but nothing beyond that.

benjamin said...

I attribute this to the lack of new episodes

Anonymous said...

Totally giving this a 5 star rating, if for no other reason than to offset the lower ratings. It was just, dare I say, tho thuper.

banjo2E said...

Needs a story tag, Seth.

Nova25 said...

Read story, and...

Meh...
I'm not sure to approve...

Twist is a good, and yet very underestimated character. She deserves more respect than some 'bad taste' ''joke'' story.

...but... forgetting the doubtful ''comedy''... It was, more or less, an 'ok' (and short) story...

Melodia said...

I mist be missing something, but /in the context of what went on before/ how is them kissing a big deal? It was already pretty silly and out there before that.

Yeesh, hell I'll never understand people....
