Plot synopsis: Pinkie Pie feeds Fluttershy some pony-bacon cupcakes. Fluttershy knows exactly what they are, and she likes them anyway. They decide to become vigilante cannibal serial killers, as you do. But have they bitten off more than they can chew? And what will happen when Twilight finds out?
Unmarked spoilers a HEAD!
Eat the Unfriendly contains examples of:
- Adaptational Villainy: Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy in that they murder ponies and feed them to others, although everypony they kill kind of deserves it, to varying degrees. For that reason, one could argue that it’s actually Adaptational Heroism.
- A Friend in Need: Spoiled Rich’s mistreatment of Pinkie is what prompts Fluttershy to kill her. Pinkie later repays the favor by breaking free of her ropes and slicing off Chrysalis’ horn, putting an end to Fluttershy’s love-draining.
- And There Was Much Rejoicing: Filthy Rich has a hard time holding back a grin at his own wife’s wake.
- Artistic License – Biology: According to Pinkie, ponies are “marbled with fat”. Horse meat is generally lean.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Exaggerated with Pinkie and Fluttershy. Twilight also qualifies since even though she orders Pinkie and Fluttershy not to commit any more murders in Equestria, she gives the okay for them to do it to Raw Deal the slavekeeper.
- Cradling Their Kill: Fluttershy comforts her victims during their last moments, except for Chrysalis due to the Changeling queen sucking the love out of her.
- Darker and Edgier: In addition to the obvious element of ponies being murdered and turned into bacon and hot dogs, the show has never depicted pedophilia and slavekeeping.
- Death by Adaptation: Spoiled Rich and Queen Chrysalis, the only canon characters out of all of the victims.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Red Pill tried to slip Pinkie a roofie, Teddy Bear is a child predator, Chrysalis had her army invade Canterlot and is now trying to kill Pinkie and Fluttershy, and Raw Deal is keeping slaves... but Spoiled Rich meets her end after yelling at Pinkie and making her cry.
- Easily Forgiven: Twilight figures out what’s going on, and takes Pinkie and Fluttershy to her office for a stern talk, only to tell them not to do it again... in Equestria, at least.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Not only do Pinkie and Fluttershy feed bacon and hot dogs made from ponies to other ponies, but Ocellus is one of the customers who eats Chrysalis.
- Losing Your Head: After being decapitated by piano wire, Teddy Bear remains alive just long enough to wonder why her body is “all the way over there”.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: The entire story runs on this.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Two rabbits in Fluttershy’s cottage are disguised as Pound and Pumpkin with mop rag manes, a carrot horn, and cardboard wings.
- Pragmatic Villainy: After their killing of Teddy Bear, Pinkie and Fluttershy take a break from serial-killing so as not to look suspicious. That, and Fluttershy finds murdering ponies stressful.
- Rhymes on a Dime:Fluttershy: She was mean to my friend, so I caused her end.
- Schmuck Bait: Pinkie lures Teddy Bear to her demise by inviting her to help babysit Pound and Pumpkin. Teddy even suspects that “it must be some kind of trick”.
- Shout-Out: SHED.MOV gets one in the form of the cover art, which relates to the story as Fluttershy’s shed is where Pinkie and Fluttershy take Spoiled Rich's body for disposal purposes.
-
Spiritual Successor: This isn’t the first story where Pinkie Pie brutally murders ponies and turns them into food... - Spot the Impostor: When Fluttershy suspects that “Pinkie” might actually be a Changeling, she asks if Chrysalis is tied up alive.Fake Pinkie: Of course, silly. I’d never kill anypony. We’re good ponies! Good ponies don’t kill!
- White-and-Grey Morality: Twilight has a talk with Pinkie and Fluttershy and tells them that however bad their victims may have been, they all still should have had a fair trial.
