should I read 'Cupcakes'?

[Dasher 119]

I read cupcakes with a friend because I heard how stupid it was and he wanted to read it so we read it together and laughed at how overrated it was and stupid it was. Go ahead and read it I really think your letting people's words of warning get to you also after you read it this thread becomes irelavent so... HURRY UP AND READ THIS HORRIBILE GARBAGE!

You already have enough of it spoiled to say I read it.

[StevieRae 4]

i say read it at your own risk. it can be pretty detailed in some parts. so if you don't have the stomach for gory stuff, read with caution

There. Saved you the grammar mistakes.

 

It's alright, your basic gorefic. Only special because it was one of the first and our fandom's tendency to either go "HOLY SHITBALLS THIS IS THE BEST THING SINCE THE LAST THING" or "WHAT THE FUCK WHY DOES THIS EXIST THIS IS CANCER TO THE FANDOM YOUR RUINING BRONIES FOR EVERYONEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[Twiliscael 3,962]

Do it. It's a story that's honestly not even that well written or incredibly gory/scary. my favorite part is when

(actually a spoiler in thar)

 

Pinkie rips off Rainbow Dash's wing with that slightly disturbing noise.

I must say the story itself is pretty cheesy but seeing how I didn't read it and just listened to the story

it made it sound quite worthwhile in my opinion, I would recommend listening or watching it

rather than waste your time with Reading it.

[Gatekeeper Babylon 116]

Overrated and overblown as crap.

 

Imo, there are many other more sick people making much more sick fics. Read them, and have fun.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 802]

I loved all of them except the rainbow factory one, it has the most likes but I never came close to laughing while watching it.

 

That one's my favourite, everyone likes different stuff guess. Edited July 11, 2012 by Chill Mists (Chilly)

I'm not really a person who reads fan-fic but cupcakes was pretty tame if not a little interesting due to the gory details.

 

I also gave My Little Dashie a read and found it to be self-indulgent trite that failed to make me feel sad or pity the main character (who obviously self-inserted himself into his own story) despite it being the writers goal.

 

I've yet to read any fan-fiction that I would consider good.

[Motion Spark 7,811]

i'm not going to read it anymore. Your opinions killed all the buzz this story had, besides I like Pinkie the way she is in the show and I don't want to ruin that.

[Crystal Sparkle 344]

I say do it! It's probably as not as bad as they hype it up to be.

[FedoraMemes 582]

maybe I was a bit skeptical about the subject. But still i'm impressed that nopony ever mentioned Applebloom, I don't know her appearance in the fic. But when this guy mentioned Applebloom I just had to stop the video. HE IMPERATIVELY SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT READ THE FIC along with more people! NOT JUST HIM!

I wonder if the fic is something like this? if it is, then there no need to read that fic. The vid covers pretty much everything

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=43AuJjuxqAw

 

I saw this video, and it was well animated but I found it to be boring

 

Applebloom is in the fic, but she doesn't get killed.

 

Also, that video isn't all of Cupcakes, the actual fic is much gorier.

[DJ Cadence 58]

Just read it! Its not real! Just all gore and stuff...

 

JUST DO IT.

[Love4discord18 269]

Only if you feel mature enough and are ready to see teh darker side of Pinkie

[Motion Spark 7,811]

i'm mature enough but over the days, I lost interest on it, like PUFF!! magically disappeared. Besides, all of you told me that it was really bad, now i'm more interested in pony music and animation

[Moon Rat 4,773]

I'd say the only thing that disturbed me about Cupcakes were the pics, & that's about it.

other than that, it's alright.

[Xievie 498]

I was absolutely terrified. Though i'm not a fan of grimdark. It would have been amazing if i was.

If you really want to, and are a fan, go for it! If your a Fluttershy like me, then better not read it, else you'll wet your tommies.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

its not that bad of a fic

 

its relativity tame compared to every other grimdrak fic out there

[DJ Cadence 58]

I'm not calling you a Wimp though. I just had to put the Quote there! ;P

[Lostwanderer 367]

It depends really on how much you care about the concept, i for one enjoy gore fiction, i think it's written fine. It is blown way out of portion though.

[Motion Spark 7,811]

reading gore is one thing, seeing gore is another IMHO

[Ponei 48]

[Flutter 42]

i wouldnt read it if i was you. after i read cupcakes for the first time it fucked with my view of pinkie for about a week after i read it. i could only think of the fic and the stuff that she did to dash, it wasnt fun lol.

 

reading gore is one thing, seeing gore is another IMHO

 

i thought reading the fic was worse than watching the yt vid of it Edited July 14, 2012 by Flutter

If you must, just be sure to read 'Rocket to Insanity' and 'rocket to Insanity Alternate Ending' afterward.

[Motion Spark 7,811]

for some reason, reading doesn't have the same powerful effect on me as watching an audiovisual version of the same. It happened with me when I read My little Dashie, it was well written, it was direct, it was sad and emotional, it was perfect! Unfortunatelly, it didn't hit me, I tried to imagine everything that was happening in the story and nothing. What got me very emotional was watching reaction videos of My little Dashie on youtube.

[NavelColt 22,883]

 

Don't care if I get hate for this in some way shape or form. Nopony will ever know the amount of eye roll I get every single time this topic is bumped. Let it die. The OP is long resolved, and clearly no one really cares for this abomination of a fanfic, as it's been stated ten billion times. The three main points are:

-Not that well written

-Read if you want, it's not a big deal, unless you're a Dash fan that doesn't like gore

and

-The animation is probably more worth your time

 

/thread

 

 

The less brash version:

 

I feel this topic has served it's purpose, and that a generic Cupcakes discussion topic should be made if people just want to talk about it in general. 'It can be used for future people who are thinking about this also' is a fine argument and all, but that's my personal thoughts.
