Story: And I Shall Name Them "Cuppins"


[Random][Comedy]


Author: Bob From Bottles
Description: All the author wanted to do was write out a simple literary scenario for some practice. That idea went out the window as soon as Pinkie broke the fourth wall and decided she wanted to help. Now, the author only hopes he can finish his slowly unraveling tale before Pinkie ends up driving him insane.

This looks absolutely EPIC.

Telofy said...

And Pinkie Pie even broke out of the secondary literature here and deleted the “Story” tag.

Tom said...

Confound that title image... I'm going to read it right now.

Chibi-Sama said...

Oh great... Poor author. I have to read this!

Zamoonda said...

Read it on Ponychan.

IT'S EPIC.

5/5

CTVulpin said...

That was glorious. Simply glorious. I laughed so much at the exchanges and the truly random turns of the plot. Glorious.

Evina said...

This post doesn't have the "Story:" prefix.

Muffinsforever said...

"Solving life's problems by blasting them with rainbows..."

I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

CanterEdlund said...

@Evina

Because it's not a story... it's an EXPERIENCE.

DarkPengi said...

Haha they used my Pinkie picture! I gotta read it now!

Aesahaettr said...

Sheer, utter, complete, totally undeniable genius. You, my good brony, have won not one gold star but FIVE. Plus 12 brownie points (redeemable for 1 cuppin!) and an internet.

Pegasus Rescue Brigade said...

I think I better avoid this for the next few days so as not to unconsciously swipe any material for the Pinkie based chapter of my own story, which is in progress right now.

I better save this away so I can read it afterwards, though.

Nando said...

That was hilarious. Twilight's conclusion, blasting problems with rainbows, cheesy build-ups that love will conquer anything - especially if it's explosive. Oh, and mechs.


Have ALL the stars!

bronyguy said...

Pure brilliance. I laughed so hard through the whole thing. 5 stars!

Biglulu said...

I loved it until the end. The dream was way too cliche. Still, 5 stars and bookmarked.

Muffinsforever said...

Finished it.

Have all my internets! Trade em in for a cuppin, you deserve it.

And I sense incoming baking shenanigans after this.


And fic idea: A teleport spell teleports an unknown quantity of the main six to a few moments before they teleported, interrupting the spell. Time begins to fall apart but thats interrupted when the gang teleports in again, but from another universe.

I have no idea why I thought of that.

Broznik said...

Oh this sounds like fun, no way I'd pass up a something like this.

The Great Llama said...

THAT.... was damn funny. Bravo, encore, etc.

Now that has me wondering, IS there a recettear/pony crossover fic?

5/5 btw, loved it

Ten said...

Stuck that in another tab to check out later, sounds like it will be a good read.

Mr.Brony said...

That was really good, the use of Pinkie Pie and the fourth wall was both funny and really creative.

Muffinsforever said...

@Ten

I know the feeling, I have a ton of tabs open.

Remy said...

It was Dr. Who meets the inverse of Duck Amok. Good stuff :D

AestheticB said...

Bob From Bottles? This gets a read for sure.

Tosxychor said...

This story was completely HILARIOUS! xD Recommended read for everyone, trust me, it's worth it. Read it NAO!

5/5

Rekiara said...

Bwahahahaha!

I loved it =D

Genuinely funny, which is really tricky to pull off in a random story. I was skeptical, to be honest, as most 'Pinkie Pie 4th wall antics' stories are too over the top 'random for the sake of random' and not 'well timed random for the sake of good comedy'. This worked, though!

5/5

SIR TOASTLY REQUIRES BUTTER FOR HIS BREAD ARMY

KriahFawkes said...

Celestia breaks the fourth wall, too? That is...whoa....

Northwest Brony said...

All my stars! Take them! All five of them!

The second fanfic I've ever finished reading, and it was absolutely phenomenal! Congratulations on such a great story - incredibly witty, well-paced and creative! More from you, I think! =D

Tosxychor said...

@Bob from Bottles
Dear sir, please have my babies.

Present Perfect said...

This story is absolutely hilarious and should be taken as a perfect example of how to break the fourth wall. :D

Yours sincerely said...

Mechanically perfect, wacked-out idea. I found it amusing but not laugh-out-loud funny, though I did snort at the Spike scene. Even so, for perfect fourth-wall breaking and amazing restraint, not taking it too over the top, 5 stars. A pleasant read.

White Ink said...

Awesome. It breaks the fourth wall without dislodging the reader, and it crafts a story WITH Pinkie Pie's randomness in its almighty glory.

Alondro said...

@Present Perfect
Break the 4th wall? It was a little more than broken. The 4th wall was smashed, mangled, mutilated and ground into fine dust, then bombarded by light-speed protons for 20 years and reassembled into a radioactive mass.

Which was the giant ball of fire.

Alondro said...

@White Ink

I would be remiss if I didn't add to Twilight's initial sighting of the fireball. "Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!" she cried.

;D

Mazzyrazzy said...

A joy to read. Well deserving of it's 6-star status.

AK said...

5 stars for a phenomenal piece of work done, and I would've given you an additional one more if I could for throwing in dat Recettear reference. To imagine Pinkie Pie having played that game, or at the very least know of it, is plain yayifications.

Or is this a foreshadowing of what's to come? Are we actually going to see Pinkie Pie converting Sugarcube Corner into an item shop? Pretty please with 'capitalism ho' on top?

DPV111 said...

Oh. Bob From Bottles? Auto read.

Son Gopaul said...

I think my email to Bob From Bottles sums it up for me... Best Fic EVER!

Bob from Bottles said...

@AK

Yes, the Recettear reference is foreshadowing for the next story I plan to write. Capitalism, ho!

Parchment Scroll said...

"Sir Toastly requires butter for his bread army!"

Best. Line. Ever.

Ashfire said...

@bob from bottles

heh, mareacle, i see what you did there!

Bugsydor said...

I liked this story, although the lampshade hanging at the end was a bit egregious.

Pinkie's relationship with the author felt like an unruly, loony-style player in an RPG interacting with a frustrated GM.

Some1Else said...

This is a very good story. It is beautifully written and highly amusing, especially if the person reading it has ever tried to write a story themselves. I can't find a single thing wrong with it. Highlights include solving every single problem that comes along by blasting it with a rainbow, Princess Luna, Recettear, and pretty much everything else. Also, I never thought the old 'it was all a dream' cliché could actually end a story properly.

Outstanding work.

And I shall name them "Bloody awesome and hilarious"
Much facepalming has been acquired here today.
