Magic A Is Magic A: Difference between revisions

Line 262:

** And beyond these types is Magic P, wielded by [[Fun Personified|laughter-made-earth-pony-incarnate]] Pinkie Pie. She seems to have a completely different set of magical abilities that dabble in all of the above, including abilities that she should not be able to use due to her species type. Basically, the only hard and fast rule for Pinkie Pie is the [[Rule of Funny]], including [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]. Broadly, her ability is to behave like an archetypical classic cartoon character like [[Bugs Bunny]].

*** She also has "Pinkie Sense", an ability to foretell upcoming events by various twitches and feelings in her body. It is precise and consistent enough for the residents of Ponyville to record and use them. It also only works for things in the near future, and has no consistency with any known form of magic at all, much to Twilight's frustration.

*** Fandom being fandom, they use mostly [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] in fanfics, presumably under the assumption that ~~[[Completely Missing the Point|~~breaking the fourth wall is inherently funny]]. ''[[Fallout Equestria]]'' had an interesting variation in that {{spoiler|Pinkie was able to break the fourth wall of events within the fic; ponies who use "memory orbs" experience the memory from inside the body of the pony in question, along with associated physical feelings, but not their thoughts. Pinkie, while having a [[The Man in the Mirror Talks Back]] moment, was able to talk to the main character Littlepip through them, though she would not even be born until long after Pinkie died. And since the fic is [[Darker and Edgier]], she could only do it when it served the plot, not via [[Rule of Funny]]. She even asks Rainbow Dash to deliver items for the future benefit of Littlepip, though she assumed it was just a prank.}}
