[Normal][Comedy][Adventure]?

Meh, it has no artistic value unless a Mane Six member is.....hm, what's a good [Grimdark] scenario.......eaten alive by velociraptors.

ZOMG DRAMA, TRUE ART IS ANGSTY

Now that there just needs to be canon!

The description is just so...random. I can't wait to see where this goes.

EVERYTHING TASTES OF LEMONS AND SADNESS.

EVERYTHING.

Looking forward to more!

ToonNinja said...

Wow, that was pretty cold of Carrot Top in the opening, just dumping all of that guilt on Derpy like that.

Aquaman52 said...

This is going to be one of those fics that I'll keep quoting until people literally beat me over the head with bowling pins to get me to shut the hell up about it.

And I still won't stop.

GreyFire said...

"I can tell from the outlet, and from having seen quite a few fridges in my time."
Oh Derpy, you so silly.

Streek471 said...

I loved this, I need more.

Cold in Gardez said...

"It is a lovely fridge."

I like this story :) Looking forward to more.

Springtime Blues said...

Gave it a shot but I couldn't enjoy it, I just don't like Derpy.

yet2bedefined said...

It's very funny, yes, but stories that portray Derpy like this always leave me a bit off. But meh, HOT SAUCE.

RandomFanguy said...

And God said, "LET THERE BE CHEESY MACARONI!" And he tasted it and it was gooood!

That being said I didn't bother to read the story, just didn't interest me enough.

Pinkamina Diane Pie said...

Of course. I have an assignment due and no time to waste, and this pops up. Thanks a lot.

Melodia said...

I can already see this story is win.

Autumn Wind said...

Whoooo! You made it! Great job, Skytower. Told you it was good. ^^

AuroraDawn said...

Derpy pony is best pony, and Skytower's Derpy is best Derpy.

Excellent job sir, I look forward to seeing more!

DJ Midli said...

@ToonNinja

Well, it IS entirely Derpy's fault, after all...

Anyway, wonderfully funny opening chapter. More please!

Ice Storm said...

I will definatly keep one eye on this, the other will still be trying to figure out what Derpy is looking at.

One chapter and it is already almost a 6 star.

Snark said...

This is beautiful. Looking forward to the next update!

Heartmend said...

Hee! I love this. I've always loved the idea of Carrot Top and Derpy and roommates. While reading this, I was wearing the biggest grin.

More, more! :D

Heartmend said...

DERP. I meant I've loved the idea of Carrot Top and Derpy AS roommates. XP

infohippie said...

By Celestia's shapely flank, the laughter does not stop!
This was greatness.

Laurence Brown said...

A well composed piece of humor, made from the finest pieces of fanon. Some great lines and humorous events, I'll be waiting on the next chapter eagerly.

5 Stars.

Baree said...

The first chapter definitely amuses. But this provides me with an opportunity...

Where in Equestria does this notion that Derpy lives with Carrot Top, and that she always cleans out her fridge, come from!? Nopony I ask seems to know. Was it fan-art? A fic? A comic? What inspired the idea?

Nova25 said...

Well... It was rather interesting.

Ditzy was well used (personallity).

Nova25 said...

@Nova25
Oh, also : Why no Dinky ? Is she currently at school ?

Snow said...

Oh man that was funny! I can't wait for more!!!

Aquaman52 said...

Please tell me you're still working on this. I can't remember the last time I loved a fan fiction enough to actually go out of my way like this to ask when the next update will be.

Chandler said...

1. I think there's almost sort of a Looney Tunes reference when Derpy says, "Let's shall." But it could be Derpy.
2. I want Chapter 2 very very badly.

Skytower said...

@Aquaman52

Don't worry, I'm not done with this yet. Since posting chapter 1 I've found myself buried in schoolwork and other obligations, which I supposed is my well-deserved punishment for taking on too many extracurricular activities. I'm overwhelmed and delighted by the great feedback you've all given me on this, and I'm so sorry for making you wait! Chapters 2 through 4 are in varying stages of completion at the moment and I hope to have them done and posted around the end of the month.

Ringz said...

Funny thing is, I read this awesomeness right before watching the luna episode, so seeing Carrot and Derpy playing together at the apple bobbing game was a shock to my system. Felt like an uber reference to this story haha. I need my chapters man. Keep em comin'.

Trivial said...

@Skytower
Looks great! Eagerly awaiting more, although I completely understand the "taking on too many extracurricular activities" thing (I was once like you...). Keep up your excellent work!

@Baree
I'm not sure where the roommate thing comes from; I think it's just that the two are seen together fairly often in wide shots. The "I emptied your fridge" meme came from a comic that's been around for a while. I'm not sure, but I think the artist is Elosande; the comic is old enough that it uses Carrot Top's original fan nickname of "Carrot Cake."

Harbinger 95 said...

Really hope to see this updated, there's a disturbing lack of Carrot/Derpy shinanigan fics :)
