My Little Pony Creepypastas: A Deep Dive

Okay I’m goofy and somehow forgot to add the last ??? title card properly?? it’s meant to say conclusion, this is the price I pay for editing at 3am. Anyway hope y’all enjoy still :’D

The funny thing is, Pinkamena wasn't even originally an alternate version of Pinkie. Pinkamena Diane Pie is just her canonical full name, and her hair is naturally straight. Pinkie just canonically goes by a nickname and has a constant case of bed head because she doesn't brush her hair.

"This game can only be played at night" is such a legitimately cool idea for a creepypasta game honestly, I wish more creepy games tried something like that.

I've been told people think I'm mentally insane by making that original Rainbow Factory animation. They might be right, but it was just really fun making something not flowery and pink for a fandom so saturated with it.

I absolutely hated horror when I was a kid. That image of Jeff the Killer got me losing sleep for the first time in my life back then. Now, I found out I just hated jumpscares. I love psychological horror.

Now the whole "game could only be played at night " mechanic should have blown up that is a really great idea. Like a game that during the day is simple and cute but at night glitches out and shows its true side

The main lesson from this is: tag systems exist for a reason! Correctly tagging triggering, gorey or NSFW content will not always prevent an incorrect audience consuming content not made for their demographic group, but it definitely will make it less likely for young or sensible audiences to accidentaly find it!

I'm gonna be honest, there's a part of me that finds "An Apple Sleep Experiment" scarier than "The Russian Sleep Experiment" especially after listening to The Lost Narrator's rendition of it. I found it pretty clever how the author used actual symptoms of sleep deprivation turned up to 11 and liked that it wasn't actually a beat for beat recreation of the original story. The ending with Applejack in prison crying out asking what happened to her sister while Twilight walks away honestly gives me chills.

as much as I look back on this stuff with nostalgia I do not wish any child to stumble on explicit gore as easily as we used to back in the day…

I remember watching the old creepypasta speedpaints and thinking "Wow this level of art is unachievable. They are a literal god" and now that i look back it was very much achievable. I wonder what kid me would say now

i’m so glad companies are finally beginning to actually enforce their age restrictions on websites and social medias because no kid should ever have to be exposed to the content i was at such a young age. 6 year old me googling ‘my little pony’ stories and falling down a wormhole to sweet apple massacre fucked with me.

The Cough fanfiction is the one that really broke me. (Spoilers ahead, graphic content I won't elaborate on) It was about some illness that isn't fully elaborated on, but is heavily implied to be a zombie virus or something similar. The only symptom before it's too late is a cough. The first line was something like "In the darkness, somebody coughed." And well, let's just say that poor Rainbow Dash is forced to graphically kill Fluttershy for coughing to prevent her from turning, only for the last line to also be, "In the darkness, somebody coughed." It was brutal...

I personally liked “the cough”. It was simple in its execution and didn’t have anyone be a generic serial killer, if you swapped out the ponies for random humans it could probably pass off as a regular creepy story.

I remember my best friend told me "oh my gosh, NEVER look up Rainbow Factory!!" I didn't when I was a kid, thinking it would be scary. I looked it up later as a teen out of morbid curiosity... Needless to say, did not have the impact I thought it would have.

Growing up in the 2010’s was so traumatic. I got into Creepypasta before My Little Pony, and the Cupcakes story is what got me interested in the show. However, now looking back at it now, I realize how much it truly traumatized me.

sweet apple massacre and little miss rarity were the ones that disturbed me the most i think. it made the characters seem so adult and as a kid reading those it just made me feel so bad 😭

This video is a big gentle reminder to parents that they should be monitoring and involved in their child's internet usage. It may be impossible to do 100% of the time but paying attention enough to know when to have discussions is important.

thank you for mentioning the impact nsfw content had on kids. the things i was exposed to… not just inappropriate content, but inappropriate situations with adult fans who took advantage of my naivety… i’m still deeply affected by all of it, and i know i’m not the only one. now that i’m an adult myself, it’s disgusting to look back at how little regard there was for the safety of children in the fandom.

My personal take on making nsfw/horror art of a child oriented media - anyone should be allowed to take creative liberty to make whatever art they want, that’s a part of art! However I think it’s extremely important that there are DEDICATED spaces to those things, that way both the adults who want the nsfw content and the kids who shouldn’t be exposed to that can enjoy their media respectfully.
