How sad do you want it?

  • Overview of the last known fluffy pony on earth at some point where the species has been rendered nearly extinct
  • Day in the life of a single pony dad trying to raise his foals who’re barely older than weanlings
  • A fluffy pony braves death to save its owner in some way because it loves them; they end up losing their life instead - partial hugbox
  • Inadvertent bleakbox/abuse story with a mare on the receiving end of an owner who suffers from major mood swings and doesn’t know/understand what’s going on
  • War between two feral herds brought about by a lack of resources in the area but rather than being played amusingly, it’s done completely straight, and showcases how horrible things can get for them when left to their own devices - story ends with one herd victorious but a third shows up and the cycle repeats

Sad shit:

Severely injured fluffy pleading with a stray dog to take care of her foal.

A fluffy at the counter of a fast food place with a small pile of coins and coin shaped things they have collected, begging the cashier for food.

A fluffy with a super cut up mouth because she made a nest out of fiberglass insulation so her babies would survive the winter.

A fluffy being force fed condoms full of cocaine, then later being terrified so it shits them out.

A raccoon eating out of a garbage can while a fluffy watches. The fluffy tries to get close, but the raccoon slaps her, and she goes back to where she was and cries.

A sad feral in a live trap that is in a kiddie pool filling with water.

A person petting a fluffy that’s in their lap. The fluffy is hairless, covered in scars, possibly even missing some body parts like an ear, eye, or leg, and with a sad, defeated look on its face. There is a caption that reads something like, “There are no smartie fluffies, just owners who aren’t willing to take the time to train them right”

A pillowed fluffy that has been forgotten outside crying as a bird is pulling its fluff off.

A person catches a feral fluffy looking for food in their kitchen. The fluffy is begging not the be put back outside. Saying it would even prefer “forever sleepies” to being out in the cold.

A happy family scene where some parents have gotten their children a foal. In the background, a full grown fluffy is peaking out of a garbage can and crying.

A pathetic looking, might have been very cute once, fluffy, with dead babbehs on its back, a collar that used to say “beloved pet” before it got barely readable, and on its last legs after prolonged exposure to the cold/wet/heat/sun, whining about how much they miss spechaw fwiend or their hoomins, is always good for a good tear-jerker.

Pegasus flying through the sky but it’s a dream as his owner is having them put down

Vets putting down fluffies, and how it would effect them, could be pretty compelling. Reminds me of a text story I read on maybe the booru or one of the older Pastebin collections that had an exterminator basically giving ponies the best day of their life before putting them all to sleep in an enclosed environment but he was really fucked mentally because he couldn’t separate them from kids.

Young colt slowly comes to the realization that no matter how hard he tries he’ll never be a milkbag - just like his hero, his mummah. He’ll never have miwky pwaces :facepunch: :weary:

A herd finds a badly injured human child and try to get help, but nobody will listen to them because they’re fluffies.

That reminds me of a something I talked about on a @LostDauphin post awhile back:

A fluffy is terminally ill, so the owner tells him he can fly now and gets him to jump off a building so he can be happy in his last moments.

A fluffy experiences its best day in its life, playing happily with their owner.
Next panel shows a severely mangled feral with a VR headset.
Turns out a shelter found the fluffy and they try to give it at least some kind of happy moments before the upcoming euthanization.

A mare who wants nothing more then for her foal to hug her back, not understanding it’s not alive

I really like that.
Equal parts poignant and touching

I went and found the post. I wrote out a little scenelette I am pretty proud of.

That’s probably a good cue to quit and go and finish your degree.

Not a single second elapses during this:

Panel 1: close up of a fluffy foal that is looking upwards and crying in a back alley
Panel 2: perspective change, a whole fluffy family is stomped to death right next to it, lots of trash bags and containers too
Panel 3: another perspective change, a trash bag full of onions has been cut open
Panel 4: foal is actually staring at a container it cannot reach, back of the wall has a door next to the trash, it reads “Luigi’s finest spaghett” and “Back Exit”

The true sadness is you, the reader, expecting humanity from a shitrat.
