Pattycakes: Difference between revisions

''Part 2'' begins with Fluttershy perfecting a [[Retcon|drug]] called [[Incredibly Lame Pun|foalmula]] which is the drug she actually used to revert Dash's mind back into that of an infant, but the effects aren't permanent...yet. They are now. Meanwhile, Scootaloo begins a search for her mentor and eventually runs afoul of the truth and is subjected to a series of demeaning tasks and tests ripped straight from the [[Saw]] series. {{spoiler|She ends up PERMANENTLY REVERTING THE DASH'S MIND INTO A PERMANENT INFANT in order to save herself from the same fate}}. {{spoiler|Then she finally comes to the final room and has a choice of two drinks to chose from. One drink, the milk in the baby bottle, allows her to keep her mind and she becomes Fluttershy's apprentice. In the other, a glass of water, also permanently regresses her into an infant-like state and she becomes Dash's "sister"}}.

 

The fic has already become the subject of [[MST]] fics and [[Dramatic Reading|dramatic readings]]. You can two watch such readings [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTslJZbIylE here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwConrQBq_U here].

 

 

Now it has a tumblr, [http://ask-fluttermama.tumblr.com/ Hello my little babies]. Read at your own risk.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Fluttershy, herself. No surprise. At one point Regressed Dash is left alone and panicked in a small room by herself and just allowed to go into a terrified crying fit while 'Shy has [[Sarcasm Mode|other, more important things]] to do. ''So Dash can just wait for mommy to come make it all better.'' So Yeah...

* [[Adult Child]]: An extreme case. Fluttershy literally regresses her "children's" minds back to infancy with the help of a [[Fantastic Drug]].

* [[Evil Mentor]]: {{spoiler|What Fluttershy becomes to Scootaloo in the "good" ending.}}

* [[Evil Virtues]]: In this case, the rarely used '''Love'''. Fluttershy just ''loves'' her little babies, and would do absolutely ''anything'' to keep them.

* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: Some readers have commented they'd rather be [[Cupcakes|cupcaked]].

** To eliborate on that, this means that readers would rather be slowly and sadistically dismembered than have this happen to them!

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Fluttershy. She goes from the harmless, sweet, shy, caring, and compassionate mare we all know and love to an Age Play-obsessed maniac who has taken up raising adult babies and [[Mind Rape]] as hobbies.

* [[Freak-Out]]: Dash at the end of ''Part One'', after she starts to succumb to the treatment and realizes it. She absolutely breaks down, and well..freaks out.

* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Even the Mayor is in on it.

* [[Happily Adopted]]: Albeit illegally in every step of the process in Dash's case.

** There's also some contrived nonsense about social expectations, retribution, and penance at the end of ''Part Two'', but the core issue is that Fluttershy wanted a baby, and ''anyone'' will do.

** Summarised:

'''Everyone on Earth''': That's not obvious at all! }}

* [[It's All About Me]]: Fluttershy falls ''hard'' into this. Dash doesn't want to be a baby? Well, who gives a buck what she wants?

* [[Locked in the Dungeon]]: Scootaloo in ''Part Two''.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]] and [[Love Makes You Evil]]: It certainly had this effect on the shy one.

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: The [[Ironic Nursery Rhyme]] sang at the end of ''Part Two''. Plays just like a regular rhyme, but put to lyrics like: ''you'll never hurt anyone else now that your mind is gone little Dashie.'' Brr...

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Fluttershy, of all ponies. Using a chemistry set loaned to by Twilight and ingredients she got from Zecora, Fluttershy experimented and created the foalmula.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Implied in both ends of ''Part Two'', that Fluttershy has somehow gotten it into her head that her "children" are better off permanently regressed.

* [[Wham! Line]]: A lot of them, but the first and most important:

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Attempted by both Rainbow Dash and Scootloo. {{spoiler|It doesn't work.}}

* [[When It All Began]]: ''The Stare Master''.
