Nightmare Fuel / Ask a Pony

Go To

Ask Pinkamina Diane Pie

  • A draw blog where Pinkamina tells you about her daily life. Pinkamina in the style of Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles).
  • When Pinkamena gets excited, her eyes tend to bug out and she gets a huge Slasher Smile. Like so.
  • Pinkamina is asked to smile. She provides.
    Pinkamena: Sweet dreams, Tumblr.
    *click*
  • A minor one, but Scootaloo drenched in blood. It's eerie how such a young pony can talk so calmly about disfiguring faces and pulverizing teeth of a corpse.
  • Pinkamina addresses questions about the Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles) cutie mark costume:
    Pinkamina: I don't have a suit made of multiple ponies first of all. I mean, that design is so inefficient. It only takes one pony to make a proper suit! Like this suit I'm wearing right now was all made from one pony, all down to the tie. Very classy.
  • Pinkamina calmly answers questions while Scootaloo does horrible things to a pony's body in a bathtub.
  • And now our bronies are dubbing blogs like this.
  • "Home decor!"
  • Her influence on the Nightmare Fuel "Ask a Pony" blogs in general. Pinkamina caused each of her friends/acquaintances to turn into the beings listed below. Pinkamina lead the others to madness and murder.

Scootaloo the Sadist

Ask Lil' Miss Raritynote 

  • Rarity became a shut-in after a series of disapperances and rumors of a murderer began floating around shortly after Pinkie became Pinkamena. Her cat Opal then scratches her face and she reflexively kills Opal in response. She then realizes she enjoys the pain and she finds Pinkamena's blog, developing a sexual obsession with how she tortures her victims. She then basically becomes a Psycho Supporter of Pinkie and Scoots, and even more openly deranged than either of them, making a Pinkamena doll out of Opal's skin, cutting herself for satisfaction, and she becomes ecstatic at the thought of her number coming up on Pinkie's Lottery of Doom.
  • Rarity explains how she got the way she is. At first it's just a flat explanation, but then she gradually slips into treating the Pinkamena doll as if it was the real Pinkamena, loving her back and cutting her up. She even mentions sewing Opal's heart into the doll, so she would know Pinkamena loved her back. She even states herself that the explenation she was giving wasn't the real explanation!
  • Her dreams:
    I dream of Pinkamena. Blood. Wounds. Stitches. I had a dream the other night, I was swimming in a red river, and the water was full of little blades that cut me when they swam by.
  • Rarity decides to enhance that heart-shaped scar on her chest. By branding it.
  • The artist of the blog, Jay, has promised that the story would gradually move in a more Silent Hill psychological horror direction. He wasn't kidding. All of Rarity's scars suddenly open back up, bleeding everywhere. Sweetie Belle bandages her up, but covers her mouth, and Rarity can't breathe. While Sweetie Belle runs off to find Twilight, Rarity coughs up blood and dies. Twilight manages to resuscitate her in time, but not before Rarity has a vision of her Pinkamena doll, staring at her, covered in Rarity's blood.
  • Rarity is chained up in Celestia's dungeon. She reflects on how much she's changed, and how much she actually enjoyed it. Then she hears a voice. It's the Pinkamena doll. It crawls out of her chest, encouraging Rarity to keep being evil and perverted. The doll, drenched with Rarity's blood, then opens its mouth and makes out with Rarity. With tongue. The worst part? You can't tell if it's actually happening or if Rarity's severely hallucinating. And then General Stormbreak shows up and beats Rarity into a bloody pulp. Seeing Rarity soaked in her own blood is bad enough... but then the Pinkamena doll rips from her stomach and slashes Stormbreak's throat.
  • Also dubbed with the aid of youtube's very own MindlessGonzo and Dumborat. Here. It is still censored... for now.
  • THE. ANIMATED. UPDATE. ALL OF IT.

Loonadventure

  • It's about Luna who has gone insane while all alone on the Moon, with only herself, her Game Boy, and a recurring hallucination(?) of Celestia for company. Luna speaks in slow, short sentences while talking about what she does on the moon, like what does she eat (she eats herself, but since she's immortal, her parts just grow back) or what she does for fun (rips her eyes out). The creepiest part is this isn't Gorn, the art is all done in a stylized simple form.
  • How does Luna occupy her time when there's nothing to do on the moon? Slamming her head into the ground over and over with a deranged grin on her face.
  • When asked if there's anything she regrets, Luna answers with a cheery grin, "Of course not!" Hidden text reads: "WE REGRET EVERYTHING."
  • This post implies that Luna's insanity is a result of forcing herself to constantly stay awake, lest Nightmare Moon take over her body. In real life, a single day without sleep is all it takes to start suffering from sleep deprivation. Two days is considered extreme sleep deprivation. Four days results in your perception of reality becoming severely distorted. Now multiply that by hundreds of years...
    hcrescent: It looks like gameboy was sleeping, do you ever sleep?
    Luna: We would enjoy sleep.
    Celestia: She can't sleep though, of course. (appears behind Luna) LEST THE NIGHTMARE TAKE OVER...
Ask Loona

Ask Friendly Twilight

  • This one focuses on Twilight, at the height of all of her friends going insane or dying. Still needing to write her friendship reports to Celestia, and Spike mysteriously absent, Twilight completely loses it. She also constantly sports her Slasher Smile from Lesson Zero, messy mane and all.
  • Twilight "tortures" Lil Miss Rarity.

Ask Flutterstalker

  • This focuses on Fluttershy becoming a terrified, paranoid stalker who hides in her home and fears what her friends are doing.

Ask Fractured Loyalty

  • After escaping from being turned into "cupcakes" by Pinkamena and seeing the rest of her friends go insane, Rainbow Dash becomes an extremely cynical and nihilistic rebel who, despite still caring for her friends, does not care what others think and does what she wants, rules or morals be damned.

Ask Crapplejack

  • Applejack, fearing her sister's safety as well as her own after watching her own friends go insane, becomes an extremely paranoid and reclusive shut-in. She relies on excessive amounts of alcohol to calm herself and will not hesitate to shoot anything that steps hoof on her farm.
  • The earlier parts of her blogs did not help quell the sympathy for her on what she's been going through. ... Especially the part that made her dread the worst of it all she gets raped by her cousin Braeburn and flips out on him during his second attempt on her and kills him, later she uses her new hobby of taxidermy skills on him to turn him into something that crawls out of the depths of the Uncanny Valley. Things get worse for her from then on.
  • This blog has managed to make Derpy creepy. Derpy!!

Ask Eldritch Discord

Ask Researcher Twilight

Psycho Ponyville

Gilda Replies

  • Usually a fairly safe, standard, in-character Tumblr, until someone asks her "Cupcakes - delicious treat, or weapon of culinary disaster?". Gilda's reply is an image of her staring blankly at the screen, until a picture of a dark, bloody, almost Zalgo-fied Pinkie flashes on screen for just a few frames, barely even enough to make out what it is. Gilad then replies "Uh...delicious treat?".

Faux Ask Pinkamina Diane Pie

Ask Discorded Whooves

  • Vinyl Scratch's death. If you look closely, you'll see her head is barely attached to her body.
  • Cupcakes is canon in this universe. Cupcakes is canon in this universe. That final shot of a Laughing Mad Pinkamena will haunt you in your sleep.

Ask Bubblini DaVinci Berry

Ask Corrupted Twilight Sparkle

Scootaling

  • Scootaloo is turned into a changeling by Chrysalis and used as a front to lure more of Ponyville's ponies into her lair. Very early on, she adds the rest of the CMC to her ranks as foals are easier to turn than adult ponies. This soon becomes a full on invasion plan when She mind rapes Twilight Sparkle into being a powerful and loyal servant, using her magic to assist the takeover of Equestria. Much like the above entry, this invasion is all but totally unopposed and multiple cities and major characters have fallen to the changelings, using the adults for food and the foals to make more changelings.

Ask Princess Sparkle

  • Garnet's traumtic past is pretty unsettling, especially the Eye Scream bit.
  • In this universe, Onyx's draining outright kills the victim.
  • Onyx has barely had any screentime, and yet he is already terrifying due to the childish glee he expresses over murdering innocent ponies When he gets hurt by Celestia. A mixture of what he freaking looks like and his reaction to being injured (it looks like Celestia blew off half his face and shattered his leg). It's hard to tell if he's being like a child and refusing to admit he was injured or if he genuinely feels the pain he is in as pleasurable.
  • Onyx's Evil Gloating to a defeated Celestia about how he's going to enslave Equestria. Made worse by the fact he intends to keep her alive and only kill her when he's murdered everypony else.
  • This universe's version of the Sirens. Why? Their goal is to brainwash Twilight's Dusk Guard with a Hate Plague and plunge Equestria into a war. If their powers function the same way as in canon, that would be very bad. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata and the Sirens aren't the same beings, they're a trio of Earth Ponies who the Sirens lured into a Deal with the Devil and possessing them.
