sprinklesgoboomMaybe. Maybe not.
Hey look! It's Pinkie Pie! Why am I writing an info post about Pinkie Pie? You all know Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie. Except, you know, now she's people-shaped. And much younger. And also in possession of a magical crystal necklace that lets her turn sprinkles into highly unstable explosive material.
So, you know. Pinkie Pie.
Okay. Let's try this again.
This version of Pinkie Pie hails from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, a spin off franchise of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, wherein all the familiar ponies fans know and love are students at a high school, engaging in typical high school type shenanigans, like going to prom, forming a band, competing with a rival high school, and battling magic monsters from another world in which you and your friends are all ponies who wield friendship as a weapon against the forces of evil.
You know, the usual teenager stuff.
Basically, this Pinkie Pie comes from the other Pinkie Pie's canon all-human high school AU.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love my canon.
For those who may have seen the movies (which are all on Netflix, btw, at least in the US, and are highly entertaining to watch while trashed), human!Pinkie Pie (henceforth referred to as "Pinkie Pie") hails from after the fourth movie, The Legend of Everfree, wherein she and her pony friends added special mutant-like magic powers to their repertoire of cheerful resistance to disharmony and the ability to transform magical-girl-like into half-pony creatures of pure friendship (henceforth: "ponying up") when they accomplish something particularly neat/related to their pony version's cutiemark. For Pinkie, that means the ability to charge sprinkles with kinetic energy* and make them explode. (*They glow pink. And explode. How am I not supposed to refer to that in terms of Gambit powers?) She really really really really does not have this ability under control. She also can't do it to anything except sprinkles, which is good, as at one point in canon she throws a box of nails without thinking and everyone takes cover. . . . Fortunately, due to Pinkie's cartoon nature, the explosions are entirely scaled to fit the situation, and thus may manage to destroy an entire dock, or may just splatter dough everywhere and make your hair stand up.
Oh yeah, see, Pinkie's still bound by the laws of cartoon physics. Or . . . unbound. Even more so than her fellow canonmates. In the first movie she literally pulls a balloon off of the pattern on her skirt and blows it up. In the fourth she stands sideways into the shot from halfway up the frame in order to make a visual joke about floating.
She's Pinkie Pie. I mean, come on.
A few last things, let's see: she plays the drums. Like, really well. When she nails a really good riff she "ponies up", growing extra long hair in a ponytail (get it?) and pointy pony ears. Sometimes if it's truly epic, she may even change clothes. There's floating involved. It is a sight to see. She has more school spirit than you, and she won't be shy about switching from Wondercolt pride to Gremlin pride. She owns at least two party cannons. And while she doesn't know the pony Pinkie personally, she is aware of her existence. And may well get a "hunch" about Pinkie's former role on the island and happen to guess precisely why you all are staring at her sideways wondering at her not having hooves.
I told you Pinkie Pie was never going to leave. . . .
