Hoofstuck



Hoofstuck is a crossover Fan Web Comic between My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Homestuck that is driven by reader suggestions. The current forum thread can be found here.

Pinkie Pie has invented a new game that can alter the fabric of reality and threatens to destroy all of Equestria. Does nopony but Twilight think this is a bad idea?

"Buy some apples! ...is what you’re going to have to do to make this up to her, you bet."
 * Anachronic Order
 * Art Shift:
 * When Fluttershy enters her imagination and becomes Fluttersleuth.
 * When the Crusaders ask Pinkie about things at the Sugarcube Corner, the page turns into a crayon-illustrated "Ask A Pony" tumblr layout.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: For the sake of immersiveness, Pinkie Pie decides to stop doing this until the end of the story. However, she hints that other ponies will break the wall in her place.
 * The Cameo: Ponified versions of the four Homestuck Kids appear in Twilight's Imagine Spot.
 * Family Relationship Switcheroo:
 * Foregone Conclusion:
 * Gilligan Cut: As Twilight Sparkle talks about how Rarity wouldn't risk Equestria being destroyed for an adventure
 * Les Yay: To the point that one command suggest that Sparkler is Ponyville's sole adult heterosexual mare. (Although there are a few more.) The UST is clearly present between Rainbow Dash and Applejack, Twilight admits having a tentative relationship with Colgate, and Fluttershy is analysing her growing attraction to Rarity after befriending her, although she may just be confused since Rarity is her first real friend. (Rarity is confirmed as heterosexual.)
 * Happily Adopted:.
 * Imagine Spot: Twilight has access to a transcribed copy of Rose's FAQ. Like Kanaya in Homestuck canon, Twilight Sparkle imagines the Homestuck Kids as her own species.
 * Luke, I Am Your Father: In this story, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo are cousins, likely a nod to fandom theories that they were related.
 * Mythology Gag:
 * Rarity finds Sparkler's name appealing "for some undefinable reason", a reference to the G1 pony Sparkler who Rarity was based on.
 * A mysterious pony tries to remember Fluttershy's name -- "Posie or something?" Again, a G1 reference.
 * One of Us: Take a look at the third command on the first page.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: Filly!Dash's griffon disguise, which was immediately seen through.
 * Power Gives You Wings:
 * Psychic Dreams for Everyone: As in Homestuck canon, but the twist is that
 * Shout-Out:
 * There are a boatload of references and Running Gags taken from the source materials.
 * Applejack's fetch modus is based on Apples to Apples.
 * Friendship specibi can potentially be set to sassygaykind. Also joeykind, monicakind, phoebekind, rachelkind, chandlerkind, and rosskind.
 * Pokey Pierce is turned into Pokey the Penguin.
 * "Certainly you got rather more adventure than you bargained for today -- it’s a dangerous business, really, walking out your front door..."
 * There's a reference to Friendship Is Witchcraft's unusual Sound Effect Bleeps when Twilight accidentally uproots one of AJ's trees.

"But even if you went and found a sack or something, you'd bet it'd be pretty tough to get Pokey in the sack. ...omigoshomigosh you are going to forget you ever even thought that."
 * Cloud Kicker is unable to say anything other than "Cloud!", a trait shared by background ponies in that particular abridgement.
 * Also, Rarity mentions the Sleep Song.
 * Fluttershy recalls the story of Daring Do and the Lady and the Tiger.
 * Rainbow Dash crashes into the taffy machine. "Boy, when you go to visit Pinkie, you expect to have a good time, not to be turned into some sort of colorful food!"
 * The page "TS: Play a wicked trumpet solo to unwind a little" contains a reference to the Funny Background Event in this video.
 * One of Granny Smith's stories contains a Shout-Out to APPLE.MOV: "...and she ate eleven apples and five of those were in a single sitting! Why, the rest of us just sat there and stared, I can tell you. 'Apple Bloom,' we told her, 'you can't eat all those apples!' But she went and said..."
 * The time-travelling Mysterious Mare-Do-Well paraphrases Back to The Future 2: "Third, if you ever have a daughter who, when she's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug, go easy on her."
 * Pinkie Pie has a variation of shinigami eyes, as shown when she's setting up the Pegasus Rescue Party. In her case, it shows a pony's name, description and time until their next birthday, rather than time until death.
 * Take That: The CMC had at some point attempted to make toy ponies. Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash remark on how shoddy and inaccurate the results are.
 * That Came Out Wrong:
 * Rainbow Dash, when trying to figure out how to captchalogue Pokey Pierce.

"You'd guess Pinkie Pie did this, it wouldn't be the first time she's appeared in your fantasies, and... meep! ...that last bit sounded a lot better in your head."
 * Fluttersleuth contemplates a wall painting in her imagination zone:


 * Unstoppable Rage: Fluttershy shows some signs of a mysterious, bloodthirsty rage -- first when meeting Angel Bunny, and again in a bad timeline, after facing an Eldritch Abomination that caused her to Go Mad From the Revelation.
