History Fanfic / CupcakesSergeantSprinkles

* DefiantToTheEnd: Gilda, to the point where Pinkie Pie shoves a Parasprite down her throat. Unlike Rainbow Dash, Gilda is so badass she badmouths Pinkie Pie until she dies.

* PrecisionFStrike: This From the Original Text:
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Oh ''God'', No.

* AdaptedOut: The AnimatedAdaptation by Suppatenkostudios begins with Dash waking up in the basement, with the opening scene explaining how she was rendered unconcious removed.
* AnimatedAdaptation: Several people have made animated videos depicting the events of the story.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utrAEkWmFZc This one]] gained popularity due to rumors that it was made by a member of the original show's production staff.
** [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/582675 This one]] is a musical adaptation backed by [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas This is Halloween]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIELaQB9zXI This one]] is animated by Suppatenkostudios and features voice work by WebVideo/{{Vannamelon}}. It is a straightforward retelling of the original fic.
* AnyoneCanDie: Pinkie has gotten to countless ponies, including, if the above image is anything to believe, '''Princess Luna'''. Yes, the second most powerful pony in all of Equestria, who controls the night, has been captured, killed, and made into cupcakes by a sugar-hopped, partying earth pony.
** In regards to Luna being killed by Pinkie Pie, [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic1.pdf one]] [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic2.pdf story]] actually draws attention to how difficult it would be for somepony to actually overpower Luna, let alone kill her. Even Twilight Sparkle would have been hard-pressed to do so. [[spoiler:Which leaves only one pony capable of doing so, who just so happens to raise the sun....]]

** This holds true even in sequels and other expansions to Cupcakes. For example in [[spoiler:''My Little Pony: Forensics is Magic'', it is revealed that most of the killings were orchestrated by Princess Celestia, since the body parts of the victims could be used in the creation of Homunculi, who could both replace the victims as well as provide horsepower for farming, which there was a shortage of according to Celestia in her {{Motive Rant}}. Wedge, one of the protagonists, is told all of the above by Celestia, who has him at her mercy and is willing to kill him to ensure his silence. Just before she does so, Applebloom, who had been peeking from behind a open door, rushes into the room and shields Wedge with her body. It seems like Applebloom made a HeroicSacrifice, then Celestia refrains from attacking Applebloom...until it's revealed that Wedge is Applebloom's, having helped Pinkie in her killing spree. Celestia lets Applebloom (who has a Cutie Mark of a hacksaw) and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders carry off Wedge to be tortured and killed, with Celestia apparently having plans for using the moon as a place for several secret depopulation camps. The ending does have a {{Hope Spot}} in the form of a Dictaphone that Wedge chucked to Derpy, who carried it to Twilight's house, where it was discovered by Spike.]]

* BrainBleach: There's quite a bit of fanart and fanfics of the characters reading this fic ([[Fanfic/{{Progress}} or in one case seeing a movie of it]]) and having this reaction.

* BrokenAngel: A few of the Alternate Endings have Rainbow Dash survive but end up as this instead.

* ComicBookAdaptation: There's one up on Deviant Art which is still ongoing. It's more or less identical except depicted in images rather than text.
* CreepyPasta: Its infamy has caused Cupcakes to become classified as one, though in this case its akin to an honorary creepypasta.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Before Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie somehow kidnapped and murdered Princess Luna, a divine alicorn with godlike power capable of raising the moon.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Based on the victims we see, this could be interpreted as a RevengeFic. However, the worst any of the victims have done is be petty {{Jerkass}}es. The fake movie trailer has her flip out over not being invited to the Grand Galloping Gala and being snubbed for Gummy's after-birthday party.

* ForceFeeding: It's briefly mentioned that Pinkie forced a live Parasprite down [[spoiler:Gilda's]] throat. In one of the unofficial sequels, Pinkie Pie [[spoiler:feeds Fluttershy's beloved pet rabbit, Angel, to Gummy and then attempts to force-feed his remains to Fluttershy]].

* LighterAndSofter: ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/37363/cupcakes-redux Cupcakes Redux]]'', a re-imagining where what Pinkie does is stuff ponies absurdly full of treats. The descriptions can get a bit {{squick}}-y at times, but cartoon physics are in full effect – the worst thing that happens is a massive case of BalloonBelly. In the end, it reads much like one might expect a weird nightmare depicted in the show itself.

* TheMusical: Another AnimatedAdaptation was [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/582675 created]]. This time it's a musical with the song "[[http://youtu.be/xpvdAJYvofI This is Halloween]]" from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' playing in the background.

* OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs: Due to its infamous nature and generally how freaky it is, this story has become popular fodder for this, several Alternate Endings even making it a fanfic by the characters themselves and a few fanart depicting such reactions as [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=Pinkie+pie+reads+Cupcakes#/d41bb5n this]].
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Derpy kills Pinkie for her actions in the "Muffins" ending.
* PoliceAreUseless:
** It's a miracle how Pinkie is able to do all this without any legal comeuppance, or even notice by the Cakes (who ''own Sugarcube Corner'' and would certainly go in their basement from time to time). However, it's safe to assume that somepony has reported the missing ponies and Pinkie's just slipped under the radar.
** This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in [=FimFlamFilosophy=]'s [[http://youtu.be/_AbtCTbSWTk parody video]], where Pinkie is discovered by Mrs Cake shortly after the dramatic reveal and tries (and fails) to talk her way out of trouble.
*** Though Mrs. Cake is annoyed with the fact that Pinkie's not working and not with the horrific acts of TorturePorn she's performing in the basement.
** [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic1.pdf One of the sequels]] [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs this]] by pointing out how unlikely it was Pinkie could do all this and not get caught by the police unless she had an accomplice...

* RevisedEnding: Several, made by a variety of people. For example:
** It was [[AllJustADream just a nightmare]]; Pinkie Pie wouldn't really butcher her friends. Not only was it just a dream, [[HeroicBSOD it horrified Pinkie Pie so much]] that Rainbow Dash had to [[Fanfic/TheLightInTheDarkness reassure her that since she still knew right from wrong]], she wasn't actually insane.
** It was [[FanFic/RocketToInsanity just a nightmare]] that Rainbow Dash has... [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/story-rocket-to-insanity.html repeatedly]], driving her insane and causing her to murder Pinkie in delusional self-defense.
*** This in turn spawned its ''[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ApPfDfKpksZSCH0w0Fi2Yn4aF0094PbVxaP9VywSiKM/edit?usp=sharing own]]'' [[FanFic/RocketToInsanityAlternateEnding Alternate Ending]] where Dash [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone snaps out of it]] and gets Pinkie to the hospital in time... and must deal with Applejack and Rarity [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out]] before being forgiven.
*** Another version was made in comic [[http://seventozen.deviantart.com/art/Rocket-to-Insanity-Title-Cover-291311329 form.]]
** Twilight [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T_AUDZpDc7g1R_b4cMXVSDf0SN7RTjgiUW4Q3nUZD_g/edit?hl=en&pli=1 found them out]] and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backed Pinkie into one of her own murder machines]].
** In a [[https://drive.google.com/?urp=https://www.google.com.br/&authuser=0#my-drive short story]], Applejack comes to Sugarcube Corner and find Dash's cutie mark in the cupcake. She then strangles Pinkie and kicks her neck, killing her.
** Pinkie [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zAyzlHtjj0UW4oZRFuAeTaJ8VXhpojUyVY3sb8f7U_M/edit?hl=en&pli=1 fed the cupcakes]] made from Rainbow Dash to her other friends.
** They were [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BZHxun2jdeUP0cQY5U_0wDF9TXEtM6dCzf5IwvsZMTk/edit?hl=en&pli=1 just acting]] for an [[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Alfred Hitchcolt]] movie.
** Celestia [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vpNUTHYVLEi2tnY5dG7Sz7Bedxck_-_tf_-j1Z4vxzY/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJvo4J4K&pli=1# needs the pony cupcakes]] to prevent an ancient curse from making her go on a murderous rampage.
** It's [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/15J3O5OuZDfX5yJLl5W-6FPkYdxae095_5Yy5xrS7dsc/edit?hl=en just a fanfic]], [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs written by]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes Fluttershy]] after listening to some Music/{{OFWGKTA}}.
** And a two-parter where Pinkie gets caught, and before her execution tells the [[StartOfDarkness story]] of how her grandpa introduced her to the [[CannibalClan family traditions]].
** And a [[Fanfic/TheCupcakeChronicles multi-parter]] where Applejack [[BigDamnHeroes finds her in time]], but the doctors were [[BrokenAngel unable to get her wings back on]], devastating Dash's life and helping her find [[spoiler:the true meaning of her cutie mark]].
** And a [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wlDkZDiGhp6W2eaviU0OL-LFWFKRByGrhwWJwEP4G0A/edit?hl=en_US last-minute derail]] in which Dash plays along with her tormentor, lures Twilight Sparkle in by pretending it's some gruesome game, tips her off in time for Twilight to zap Pinkie to sleep - and they discover that [[spoiler:a parasprite is living in Pinkie's head, crushing and poisoning her brain]], and they have to cure her, [[spoiler:but fail]] to rehabilitate the traumatized Pinkie back into the community. [[spoiler:Pinkie, feeling her actions beyond forgiveness, even if she was not truly at fault, forces Celestia to turn her into a statue forever.]]
** It's just an [[IncrediblyLamePun April Foal's]] prank.
** It was just a [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs fan fic]] written by Pinkie and Rainbow Dash.
** There's also [[http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/kfasa/pinkie_reads_cupcakes_some_discord_spoilers/ a version on DeviantArt]] where it's a fan fic written by Discord and [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Megatron]].
** After Fluttershy went back in time to stop Pinkie, Spike ended up being the murderer instead.
** A three-part sequel focusing on Applebloom discovering that [[spoiler:killing ponies is her special talent.]]
** A [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P_vm04yKMQJbASlC1S0ueBau5_79w_fsm-GsGMAZ6JQ/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1 sequel about how]] Pinkie Pie has a SplitPersonality and the split personality took control of her.
** Seconds before the mutilations, [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1velD0A8w5Bz9Iw1JD1awR0_eG-lQDYYZCqewSfA04q0/edit?hl=en_US Rainbow Dash broke free]], and managed to kill Pinkie instead, Hansel and Gretel style.
** There's ''Fanfic/LePetitFour'', a fanfic where Pinkie goes on to [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/167ST-8XF3m9Ycswv_olcQAhF9jenQoNqOf4726-nSgY/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1 torture and murder Rarity]], who dies begging her, ''"Please... don't do this to my little sister Sweetie Belle."'' [[PetTheDog Pinkie happily agrees]] right before eviscerating Rarity, who is ''happy'' to die by that point.
*** This had its own sequel, ''Fanfic/OneLastPartyFavor'', where she [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fFM0okDl9iX3473MFhzmmjxf499i4CrAlAD5m_PA-R4/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1 tries to do the same]] to Spike and Twilight for knowing too much, but fails.
** It was Sergeant Sprinkles's idea for an opening to Season 2, and he gets dragged away because Lauren Faust thinks he's insane.
** Pinkie Pie bakes with [[spoiler: her sisters, Apple Bloom, Derpy Hooves, and Babs Seed]] in the [[https://www.quotev.com/story/9010236/Muffins/1 "Muffins Saga"]]. It involves the deaths of the [[spoiler: other Mane Six (sans Pinkie Pie), the other Cutie Mark Crusaders, and numerous other ponies]]. The last chapter posted as of now involves the [[spoiler: mass slaughter of most of Ponyville, then the isolation and murder of a top secret agent sent by Celestia]].
** A sequel in which Pinkie Pie [[KillTheCutie kills Fluttershy]], [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7384339/1/Little_Bakery_of_Horrors of all ponies.]] As if that isn't bad enough, Pinkie also [[spoiler:has Gummy eat Angel right in front of Fluttershy.]]
*** Now with a second chapter in which Rarity gets her turn. [[spoiler:[[FromBadToWorse And then it gets worse when]] [[WouldHurtAChild Sweetie Belle comes to see what's been taking her sister so long...]]]]
** Another [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8172610/1/Apple-Cinnamon sequel]] where Pinkie Pie violently murders [[KillTheOnesYouLove Applejack]].
** A [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic1.pdf Two]] [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic2.pdf part]] sequel in which two of Celestia’s Guards are sent to investigate the discovery of a body at Sugercube corner, only to uncover a bigger, more sinister crime: AffectionateParody of CSI-type programs and film Noir set in [[SugarBowl Equestria]] [[CrapsaccharineWorld of all places.]]
** In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7187059/1/Cupcake_Surprise Cupcake Surprise]], [[spoiler:it was really a surprise birthday party for Rainbow Dash and no one was killed]].
** There's yet ''another'' version in which [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7510076/1/The-End-of-the-Rainbow we discover]] that Pinkie kills Rainbow Dash because Dash raped Scootaloo, [[EnfantTerrible Scoots helps Pinkie slaughter Dash]], and it turns out that [[CrapsaccharineWorld the Ponies have a peace treaty with the Griffon Kingdom that involves all executed pony criminals being sold to them for meat.]] All memory of Dash's existence is wiped from the minds of Ponyville's inhabitants and her flesh is sold by the Cakes to Gilda.
** Yet another [[http://explicit.ponyfictionarchive.net/viewstory.php?sid=317&warning=9 sequel]] details how Pinkie Pie went on to torture and murder the rest of her friends and display their bodies to Twilight Sparkle. This was all done for some obscure occult purposes at the behest of Celestia that are not fully revealed until one reads the further [[http://www.ponyfictionarchive.net/viewstory.php?sid=344 nine part sequel]] it spawned. Essentially, Twilight and Pinkie Pie's four dead friends [[HorsemenoftheApocalypse become powerful undead]] and Twilight Sparkle is taken over by [[DemonicPossession another entity]] and begins to refer to herself as the Twilight Queen. This leads directly to [[ZombieApocalypse Equestria being overrun]] by an army of dead ponies, each of whom exhibit the pink pony's personality.
** [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7828303/1/Cupcakes_Sugar_Cube_Corner_Siege Sugar Cube Corner Siege]] is a story running parallel to Cupcakes. It details Twilight Sparkle and Spike being captured and imprisoned by Pinkie Pie while she's murdering Rainbow Dash, while the elite Special Pegasus Service come to the rescue and shoot Pinkie Pie dead.
** ''The Cold Part'' which takes place eight months after the original. Pinkie is becoming careless in her abductions and murders due to the crippling guilt of having taken so many lives, especially Rainbow Dash's. Ponyville is now more suspicious than ever of the unknown killer and Fluttershy's number has come up. It's now up to Twilight to save another friend from being lost.
** [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/95548/1/of-nightmares-and-confections/of-nightmares-and-confections Of Nightmares and Confections]] has the events of "Cupcakes" as a horrible nightmare caused by a sadistic dream sprite Luna has been trying to capture for a long time. However unlike other stories Pinkie is portrayed as a hero who comes to Rainbow Dash's aid rather than a villain or another victim to an outside force.
** A (pretty bad) alternate ending where the Royal Guard attempts a last-second rescue and Pinkie escapes to Stalliongrad.
** The Blog/AskAPony blog 'Question Pinkamena' (which plays Cupcakes for BlackComedy) hinted that in the distant future [[spoiler:Pumpkin and Pound Cake continue the killings, with Pinkie herself becoming a victim after she tried to kill Pound Cake.]]
** There's the [[http://musapan.deviantart.com/art/Pinkie-Pie-Reads-Cupcakes-244071995 X Reads Cupcakes]] series of short comics, in which the book exists in Equestria itself and inexplicably gets sent to Pinkie herself and all of her friends, eliciting various reactions from them. When Rainbow Dash reads it, [[spoiler:she just laughs at how ridiculous the whole premise is.]] In the end, the book is revealed to have been the creation of [[spoiler:[[BigGood Princess Celestia]], who conjured it into existence to [[SecretTestOfCharacter test the bonds of friendship between the Elements]].]]
** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9885100/1/Killer-Cupcakes And another one in which it's fiction]]... but when Firefly reads about a pony that sounds a whole lot like Cupcake horribly killing a pony that sounds a whole lot like her, nightmares lead to paranoia and paranoia leads to ''Firefly'' becoming the knife-wielding menace. It ends with [[spoiler:no blood drawn, though.]]
** Two by the same author but taking place in different continuities--[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6833690/1/Taste-the-Rainbow "Taste the Rainbow"]] has the events of ''Cupcakes'' being little more than an illusion Trixie trapped Rainbow Dash in, but Rainbow Dash is understandably shaken by it and tries to do some baking with Pinkie Pie to assure herself that nothing is wrong. [[HilarityEnsues It goes about as well as you'd expect]]. The second is [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6836403/1/Sewing-the-Impossible "Sewing the Impossible"]], in which Rainbow Dash survived her torture but was horribly mangled in the process and Rarity takes it upon herself to save her the only way she knows how: sewing her back together. It sounds gruesome and morbid...[[spoiler:but it has a happy ending]].

* RevengeFic: ''[[http://weirdkevand27.deviantart.com/art/Muffins-208898844 Muffins]]'', which has [[spoiler:Derpy Hooves]] [[HeWhoFightsMonsters avenging the death of Rainbow Dash]].
** It's also a ShoutOut to ''Series/{{Dexter}}.''
** In a different vein [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/10657/Cupcakes-A$$-Kicking Cupcakes A$$ Kicking]] involves Pinkie Pie and Rainbow dash getting their [[HumiliationConga very satisfying revenge]] on the writers.
*** That was just the first chapter; later chapters contain Lyra and Twilight Sparkle getting revenge on cloppers, Big Mac owning the maker of Sweet Apple Massacre, and Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo laughing at ''FanFic/RainbowFactory''.
** In a stroke of brilliance, some 4chan posters pointed out that ''Cupcakes'' could be considered a revenge fic for the horrible things Dashie does in ''FanFic/RainbowFactory''.

*** [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8029872/1/Hush-Now Hush Now]] is a fanfiction that directly parodies ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'' with the “Cupcake Killer” Pinkamena Pie as Hannibal Lecter and Rainbow Dash as Clarice Starling.
** The whole story is pretty much a very grisly retelling of Theatre/SweeneyTodd, except with the barbershop removed, Pinkie Pie taking on the roles of both Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o69uXgYQ8iA This has not gone unnoticed by fans]].

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Goes both ways: Pinkie murders Gilda, who is a complete and utter {{Jerkass}}, but more because Pinkie is utterly insane and less about being offended by her behavior. Gilda, on the other hand, was a jerk for the sake of being a jerk to Pinkie Pie, but considering Pinkie Pie turns out to be an insane murderer in this, [[MuggingTheMonster Gilda wasn't exactly crapping on an innocent little flower]] like she was with Fluttershy.

An alleged (former) Creator/{{Hasbro}} animator worked on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utrAEkWmFZc this]] beauty in his spare time. If you need a version to giggle with the ghosties with, this would probably be the one for you, though still easily graphic and on the disturbitude scale of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy'' put together.

A Dramatic Reading of the story can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThKRjWyHt_I here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxJyDjKFEtk here]]. A graphic novelization of the story can be found [[http://pinkanon.deviantart.com/gallery/32239742/Cupcakes-Comic here]], and we mean '''graphic'''. The sporking of this story from the continuum by the [[WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum PPC]] can be found [[https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1KmcAgo2JEbSFBr6ZFRHUSp3Ey4gXyi384U90HLipCnE here]], if you'd like to sleep a bit easier tonight.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIELaQB9zXI This one]] is animated by Suppatenkostudios and features voice work by Vannamelon. It is a straightforward retelling of the original fic.

*** This in turn spawned its ''[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jtyqCgnlSZLoXZ76FFqET1MpBXkyivJFz3gJlHboT9c/edit?hl=en&pli=1# own]]'' [[FanFic/RocketToInsanityAlternateEnding Alternate Ending]] where Dash [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone snaps out of it]] and gets Pinkie to the hospital in time... and must deal with Applejack and Rarity [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out]] before being forgiven.

* AnimatedAdaptation: There are many of these on Website/YouTube and Website/{{Newgrounds}}. See TheMusical below for one of them. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utrAEkWmFZc This one]] is rather popular, if only because it's rumored to have been made by a member of the production staff.

%%* TortureCellar

%%* WhamLine: "Now, you take a nap."

* AnAesop: Getting drugged and kidnapped is no laughing matter. The person who did it could be planning on doing something much worse.

* AnAesop: Getting drugged and kidnapped is no laughing matter. While both are victimless crimes, the person who did it could be planning on doing something much worse.

* PottyFailure: Rainbow wets herself when [[spoiler:Pinkie snaps her right wing off]], and again when [[spoiler:Pinkie electrocutes her]].

** There's yet ''another'' version in which [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7510076/1/The-End-of-the-Rainbow we discover]] that Pinkie kills Rainbow Dash because Dash raped Scootaloo, [[EnfantTerrible Scoots helps Pinkie slaughter Dash]], and it turns out that [[CrapsaccharineWorld the Ponies have a peace treaty with the Griffon Kingdom that involves all executed pony criminals being sold to them for meat.]] Dash's flesh is also eventually sold by the Cakes to Gilda.

** Pinkie Pie bakes with [[spoiler: her sisters, Apple Bloom, Derpy Hooves, and Babs Seed]] in the [[https://www.quotev.com/story/9010236/Muffins/1 "Muffins Saga"]]. While still in progress, it is very well written, decently well-known, and involves the deaths of the [[spoiler: other Mane Six (sans Pinkie Pie), the other Cutie Mark Crusaders, and numerous other ponies]]. The last chapter posted as of now involves the [[spoiler: mass slaughter of most of Ponyville, then the isolation and murder of a top secret agent sent by Celestia]].

** Another [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8172610/1/Apple-Cinnamon sequel]] where Pinkie Pie violently murders [[KillTheOnesYouLove Applejack]]. It is extremely well-written adding to the overall squick.

* MurphysLaw: Rainbow Dash actually considered blowing the meeting with Pinkie Pie off to continue her flying, but went anyway to be a loyal friend.

* AdultFear: Twist was apparently one of Pinkie's victims as is Silver Spoon at TheStinger; [[spoiler:Turns out, however, that both of them are Apple Bloom's victims]].

This fic has also caused an ever [[FanVerse growing amount of related fanfictions]] by other authors. Prequels, parodies, and sequels. It even has a (worse?) SpiritualSuccessor called ''Pattycakes'' which while not as bloody as ''Cupcakes'' manages to be more disturbing. It used to have a tropes page, but it got locked down. The less said, the better.

Perhaps what makes this story so disturbing is that, throughout the entire story, Pinkie Pie keeps up her bubbly, cheery personality, cracking jokes and insisting that she and Rainbow Dash are having a party, even as Dash pleads and begs for her life. The fic is notorious among the fanbase, to the point where it inspired several pieces of artwork and multiple alternate endings.

In fact, the fic is so notorious that Equestria Daily deleted its post about it, but there's still an archived version on [[https://equestriadaily.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/story-cupcakes/ its Wordpress site]]. Both the original and grammar-corrected versions can be found there, but you should know what you're getting yourself into.

''Cupcakes'' is a [[DarkerAndEdgier dark and extremely gory]] fanfic of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' by Sergeant Sprinkles.

** [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic1.pdf One of the sequels]] [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs this]] by pointing out how unlikely it was Pinkie could do all this and not get caught by the police [[OhCrap unless she had an accomplice...]]

** In a [[https://drive.google.com/?urp=https://www.google.com.br/&authuser=0#my-drive short story]](and bad maybe)Applejack comes to Sugarcube Corner,and finds out Dash cutie mark in the cupcake,she then strangles Pinkie and kick her neck,killing her.
