So much despair it brings a tear in my eye. Love how apathetic and avoidant all the human clientele are.
Juxtaposition between random people window-shopping while a sentient tiny horse cries and begs in misery because its only value in life is to be sold and it has no control over that…
The mental break in the fluffy was a nice touch too, at least he never gave up trying. He was a really good fluffy after-all.
Trying so hard and just not being able to achieve anything and consistently being overlooked…

Bye bye fluffy. Just one of thousands to be similarly purged today.
why would you put negative thoughts in its head if you want it to be happy and sell, why are 90 percent of pet stores in these universes run by complete fucking morons?
Ooooooh. Shut it down as in failed inspections. I was thinking some spiteful government official using a legal loophole to shut down a business that would shutter on it’s own within 6 months. Gotcha

One of the recurring themes in fluffy fiction is that humans are callous, spiteful, uncaring bastards. Or moral crusaders out to right every wrong. And fluffies are innocent, naive, loving and lovable little critters who believe the world is a safe, happy place, only to be proven HORRIBLY wrong. Or they’re stupid, greedy, selfish little shits who deserve nothing more than to suffer. That’s the nice thing about fluffy pony stories: every author has their own stance, or can alternate between them, or even portray contradictory things. It’s all about trying to understand the human condition and projecting your own inner thoughts onto the blank canvas of fluffies.

sounds like worlds without logic, only emotion

Either failed inspections or getting ratted on by their neighbors. I doubt many people want to live and work next to an abuse factory while waiting for it to finally run out of money or fluffies.

This is glorious, thank you!
We’re all living products one way or another.
Not quite, sure a domestic pig has an owner and its been breed for generations to the point its considerably different from a wild pig, but its still a pig and if left alone will return to its wild roots
Fluffies arent that, they arent a breed of midget horses, its a synthetic lifeform, its evolutionary tree its a seed with no beginning and no end, a bunch of genes spliced together to get as close as what marketing executives wanted. It cant live outside (in most HCs) and it only survives thanks to an insane breeding ability that its only there because hasbio wanted high production yields and (in my HC) fertile fluffies got out so there was nothing to control the population besides its inherent fragility, also a by-product of its design because if a wild pig bites you who are you gonna sue? god? but if a fluffy bites you then you sue hasbio, just like if you burn yourself on coffee you sue the coffee shop, because that coffee is a product and so its a fluffy.

Sounds like storytelling to me.
Logic is for electrical engineering.
Mind you, I like logic. I have a degree in the stuff.

what can you use a degree in logic for?

Teach analytical philosophy, I suppose. Prove out a bunch of math. Some programming. Design train schedules and certain signal or logistics systems.
My point is; not for telling stories.

i disagree. i find that taking typical tropes and bringing them to there extreme logical conclusion makes for a good story. hell my story on here is kind of like that

Do you work out your story plotting in predicate logic to guarantee that the truth value remains as T?
Or do you apply common sense and some plausibility checks, maybe fact check some references, and call it a day?

oh lookit the fancy college man flexing his degree on the hard working carpenter /j
id assume the latter, because the former sounds more like computer programming then me going “hmm yes this is what i believe would happen if someone with an already existing mental illness spent their time doing nothing but torturing tiny pighorses with the minds of children yes”
