Our society pressures people to be thin, no matter how unhealthy the obsession can become. What if we were idiotic enough to start treating other forms of self-harm the same way?

Running out of options, maybe Wallflower Blush would finally try to stand up for herself.

But she might overdo it.

I thank bananachips for prereading a version of this story, and for helpful correspondence about it. This story's flaws, however, are not bananachips' fault.

How in Equestria did a filly even GET a jar of cyanide pills?

Being a ten year old filly can be complicated.

I kept the red tag content mild, because most of this story is about a ten year old filly.

For once, Suri Polomare has an original idea. Unfortunately, it's a new way to steal other creatures' creative work.

So why is Princess Twilight helping her?

I wondered, how could a cover image that ridiculously inserts Equestrian pony stuff into a classic work of great human art, be made a fully accurate (if possibly misleading) depiction of a scene within the story itself?

(Story's cover image: Based on a pieta by Annibale Carracci, 1550-1609. Some alterations by me.)

Content Warning: Twilight Sparkle is not a perfect source of information on the human worlds' theologies.

You've probably heard of the Ten Commandments, and the Seven Deadly Sins. Some pony philosophers have their own list.

In a few days of sweetness and fluff, sixfive good-hearted ponies break all the rules and EARN all the Red Tags.

Can they do it in a story you could show to your mom, and maybe to your little kid sister too?

This is partly the fault of several people who...encouraged me, including Estee and Spectrumancer.

Starlight Glimmer goes to a mandatory counseling session about suicide.

Also, somepony might be dead by the end of the session. Because it's just that kind of day.

Is there such a thing as a stupid question? While playing a party game with a pony who takes it far too seriously, our protagonist finds out.

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Dash Hacks the Internet

Rainbow Dash tries a new prank: hack the Internet to make hyuu-mans look at pictures of her butt. It turns out a lot better and more G-rated than expected.

Who is Dinky Doo's real father? In an unexpected crisis, Derpy Doo reveals the secret truth...more than once. But which story is the REAL truth?

Can a clever little filly figure it out?

Thanks to SquidgeKitten for a helpful preread.

Fluttershy said softly, "You know how your arms are symmetrical? Your left is like your right? I'm not really into that. I think it's gross."

Then it got worse.

In January, my friend Fluttershy accidentally photobombed my video chat with my girlfriend. Now it's just a question of who dumps who first. And who'll be there to pick up the pieces?

Thanks to SquidgeKitten for a helpful preread.

This is an entry for Angel Midnight's "2020 Is So Weird" short story contest, which runs until the end of November.

(Alternate story title: "That Thing on My Girlfriend's Desk")

Twilight Sparkle has been poisoned, and only one cure is known: cry the toxins out. She has one week to increase her emotional range, or die.

Easy choice, right?

If only she knew how to do it.
