[First Part][Previous]
“Huuhuuu...”
“Damn Glitter, what are you whining so much for? I’m going to catch your blues.”
You are Glitter’s makeshift ‘Daddeh’, an art critic with a love for art involving Fluffy Ponies, mainly their suffering. For some reason Glitter has been whining nonstop after crossing the baloon arch for the event you’ve been attending.
“Are you afraid of balloons or something?”
Glittler sniffles loudly “Sowwy fow maek saddies daddeh.. gwitter nu knyo wai saddies, jus’ am...”
Glitter stops his rambling and gasps loudly
“DADDEH WOOK! PWEDDY FWUFFIES!!” No matter how miserable Glitter knew he should be, a Fluffy is a Fluffy, and therefore his emotions were volatile, suggestible and prone to change upon seeing any variety of pretty colors.
Of course the entire festival was set to have an almost amusement park like appearance, this was an intentional feature, a way to draw the Fluffies towards the area so the festival wouldn’t lack “supplies”.
Glitter was enthusiastically pointing his stubby marshmellow hoof to a stand where Fluffies were getting makeovers, the fluffies pretty much just came out of it full of glitter and cheap toxic paint on their manes, Glitter insisted on trying it out, and so you let him.
The guy at the front offered different colors for the makeover, upon seeing the prices that were set you turned to Glitter.
“Glitter my boy, this is very expensive…”
Glitter shuffled uncomfortably
“Nu knu eekspainsiv Daddeh, nu can hab pweddy fwuff??”
You sigh and decide you could probably spend something for Glitter’s amusement if it makes the whining stop, you go through the grueling effort of spending the equivalent to 8 dollars to make Glitter’s mane white, the cheapest customization of course, let’s not get crazy…
By the end of the procedure Glitter is prancing around his Daddeh’s legs happily, he saw this as a definitive show of love from his Daddeh. He felt safer than ever before.
“Hope you’re happy champ, next stand is still my choice”
Glitter giggles “Nu am champ am Gwittew daddeh!”
Fluffies couldn’t really comprehend the idea of nicknames, names were most important to them, Glitter had a name before his current one, but could no longer remember it. It’s not like he didn’t love the name his Mummah gave to him, it’s just that… something about the names humans give, was just better, humans gave the bestest namesies, and every fluffy knew that. Glitter couldn’t help but forget his old name after getting a Human one…
“Uhm, sure”
The duo moved to one of the other new stands displayed at the festival, it consisted of a large circus-like white tent, the sign at the entrance read as “Get your Fluffy Earphones Here! + An interactive show on Fluffy psychology”
Alright… you don’t know what a Fluffy Earphone is, but it’s probably free, so why not?
You go in holding tight onto Glitter’s leash, the place is quite well organized, with a small wood stage and lots of theatre seats displayed neatly around, you wonder how they got this here, before you feel your Fluffy’s makeshift leash get tugged hard.
“OOF!”
“GWITTAW! KWEESTAW MISS 'OU!”
Oh, it’s Glitter’s buddy from the other day, it’s nice to see him getting along other fluffies.
“Awmost nu wecawneys Gwittew! Hab pwetty spawky fwuff nao!! Bu’ wike gwittew wainbow fwuff too!”
“Tee hee, dankyou Kweestal!”
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ON YOUR SEATS PLEASE”
A loud presenter, a brunette woman wearing an exxagerated cientist attire spoke from the small stage, prompting you to take Glitter and sitting down with him on your lap so he could watch the show.
“You can take your Fluffy Ear Phones from the small pocket on the back of the seat in front of you, don’t worry about putting it on the Fluffies’ ears, it’s just for the owners!”
You pick up the earphones and put them on as instructed.
“Now, before we begin, last warning for zealous fluffy owners, this exhibit might traumatise your Fluffies, so if you’re not comfortable doing that right now leave!”
“Huh?? Why say that in front of the Fluffies? Doesn’t it ruin the experience?”
“Daddeh? Wha mean?”
“Don’t worry sir! That’s what the earphones are for, the Fluffies will only hear a certain set of words I say, the stuff we don’t want them to know will be broadcasted to the owners only!”
There’s some Fluffy owner mumbling as they understand the situation, no one leaves their seats, there are about 30 owners with their Fluffies here, all of the owners consent to the potential suffering of their Fluffy partners.
“Now”
She points at an unlit lightbulb attached to the top of the tent
“Whenever that light is shining green, it means your Fluffies can hear what I’m saying, you understand?”
Owners nod around the area
“Very good, to start, I’m doctor Maria Dolores, good afternoon. I’ve been studying Fluffy behavior for a while and I’ve noticed Fluffies are quite attached to their names, and in order to demonstrate!”
She pushes a cart onto the stage, on top of it stands a pink mare sporting a yellow mane with a pink bow attached to it.
"Dummeh hoomin! Wet Sanee down! "
"This small mare here is called Sunny, can you attest to that, Sunny?"
Glitter hears the lady on the big stage talk for the first time so far, for some reason she had been making mouthie movements but words wouldn’t come out until now.
“Dat am wight! Sanee is pwetty name mummah gabe to bestes’ pwettiest babbeh!!!”
“As you can see, this little waste of space feels very entitled to a pretty name”
“Namesie nu am weis of speis! Git it wight dummeh!” The mare puffed her cheeks, Glitter didn’t understand what the human was saying, but it felt a bit mean… Though the mare with her seemed even meaner…
“Let’s see what happens if…” she turns to the mare “Hey sweetie, do you want a new name? A prettier one?”
The demon spawn mare’s demeanor took a sudden shift
“Weawwy!? Bestest namesie?? DANKYU MUMMAH!”
“As you can see, the little asshole associates the naming process with parenthood, and starts reffering to me as Mummah immediately upon being offered a name. Fluffies are very prone to accepting names from humans, even if they don’t understand what they mean. Though we don’t know Hasbio’s intentions they seem to have given Fluffies some sort of profanity filter though…”
The cientist turns towards Sunny
“Your name is now Cunt!” The serious cientist said as she beamed with a smile, and the mare’s mood took a turn again
Fluffies in the audience start uttering a cacophony of “Bad wordies” and “Scawy!”
The mare at the stage begins sobbing instantly
“Nu Mummah! Dat nu am pwetty namesie! Sanee nu wike!”
“If it wasn’t for the profanity filter she wouldn’t know what Cunt even means, but it seems that if a Fluffy doesn’t have a name associated with something they know as bad, and it bypasses their profanity filter, they’ll be fine with pretty much anything.”
“Oh, of COURSE sweetie! What about Scurvy??”
Loud gasps can be heard from the Fluffies in the audience
One final gasp comes from the stage “Dat am pwettiest namesie!! Dank ou Mummah!!!”
The mare seems extrememly happy
“Upon receiving a new name from an owner, a Fluffy loses recolection of any names they might’ve received from other Fluffies in about five days or so. This doesn’t happen with names given by other owners though, quite interesting.”
Glitter is super happy for this mare, she just got a new Mummah and Name! He wonders about her being a new friend.
“Now, what would happen if you took a human name from a Fluffy?”
The audience looks at the lady in confusion
“Of course it’s impossible to do so, but with a bit of trickery… it’s possible to trigger a sort of rebooting glitch on the memory of a Fluffy pertaining to their own name. Anyone here has a Fluffy that they want to volunteer for a showing? Only do it if you don’t mind losing them!”
Crystal’s owner raises his hand, making Crystal confused as he has not been hearing any of the most recent words from the lady at the stage. The lady puts the mare down from the cart she was in and into a cage as the small fluffy sobs, Crystal’s owner picks him up and sets him on top of the cart in the middle of the stage while the scientist moves out of the stage and comes back strolling in a wheeled massage chair.
“If you would please sit down sir? Just follow my lead with the acting, you can put a stop to it whenever you want”
Crystal’s owner sits on the massage chair and gives the scientist a thumbs up.
"Now… little Fluffy… do you know why you’re here??"
She adresses crystal immediately.
“Kweestal am gun git sumfin gud wike pwetty mawe fwom befow???” Crystal beamed with happiness.
"No you Dummy… I’m actually a MONSTER! And I’ve trapped your Daddeh!!!"
Crystal froze in fear, the fluffies in the audience began gasping in a terrified way, hiding their faces against their owner’s bodies in fear of the supposed monster lady.
“Nu!!! DADDEH HEWP! IT AM MUNSTAH!”
"Oh he can’t hear you young Fluffy… see these things I put in his ears?"
She points at the earphones she offered and the owners in the audience start giggling at the bad acting.
"I made him a Dummeh! And now… I’m going to give him the WORST HURTIES!"
She turns on the massage chair with a controller, and it starts vibrating rapidly and massaging Crystal’s owner, he would be offended at being called a Dummeh if it didn’t feel so good, and so he decides to give his A-game on this acting role he’s been handled.
“OoOoOoOh NoOoOo tHiS fUcKiNg SuCkS…” The man said in deep bliss as he got his little spa treatment.
“NUUU!! NU HUWT DADDEH!! HAB WOWSTEST HUWTIES! STAWP!!!” Crystal would scream hoarsely while tearing up, pleading to the monster to let his Daddeh go…
Glitter couldn’t stop watching, he kept pawing at his Daddeh, pleading for him to help Glitter, but he had the hear place thingies on him too!! His daddeh was a Dummeh right now! And so Glitter got out of his Daddeh’s grasp and rurshed to the bottom of the stage, meeting up with lots of other Fluffies that had the same idea in mind…
Crystal saw the Fluffies rushing to his aid and his stomach dropped, he couldn’t get down from the tall cart he was in to help his Daddeh, and the stage’s platform was too high up for other Fluffies to climb. It was all left to him.
He stood up on his quivering legs with all his might, and puffed up his cheeks while staring daggers at the monster.
“Wet Daddeh gu! Ow git sowwy hoofsies!!!”
"Oh, that’s not how it works little Fluffy… I need you to give me something so I can let your Daddeh go!"
“Wha munstah wan!?” Crystal’s defiant posture seemed extrememly brave to the other Fluffies below, but the humans couldn’t help but laugh, from their point of view he looked like a scared little chihuahua, tearing up, trembling, legs bent barely able to support his attitude.
"I want your name… Your Daddeh will forget you and you’ll never go to Skettiland without one!"
Crystal’s blood froze, of course he knew magic was real, and human magic was powerful, but he didn’t know Monsters had magic too… And he had never heard of one so terrifying, he didn’t know what to do! He couldn’t decide! Even though he knew saving his Daddeh was the correct choice!
"And if you don’t… I’m giving your Daddeh forever sleepies…"
“NUU!!! NU CAN CHOOSE!!!”
"Ten… nine… eight… seven…"
“PWEASE STAHP! NU WAN DADDEH HUWTIES!!”
"Six… five…"
“CHIRP CHEEP PEEP!”
The other Fluffies watched in sheer terror at their hero, Crystal, defier of monsters, quivering before the magnitude of the demonic magic in front of him.
The scientist hadn’t accounted for one simple fact, Fluffies couldn’t really count… so the countdown was quite terrifying to them, as far as they knew, Crystal could’ve had an entire day to decide what to do… that’s why when they heard the next number, the max they could count to, the information shifted into place, as they realised how little time Crystal had.
"Four…"
Upon hearing this, something clicked in all of the fluffies minds, and Crystal, realising now how quickly he had to make his decision, made a sharp turn towards his downfall with a desperate scream.
“SCREEE!!! GIB DADDEH FOWEBAH SWEEPIES!! NU WAN WOSE NAMESIE!!!” Crystal screamed as he lowered his head and covered his eyes
…
The air stood still, the place fell silent, both the Fluffies and the Owners couldn’t believe the words to come out of the Fluffy’s mouth.
"You’ve made your decision!"
The scientist was about to hit the remote’s button to kick the chair into overdrive to give Crystal’s Owner a grand massage, but the burly man got up first.
“You fucking piece of trash…”
He stomped towards Crystal, grabbing the Stallion by his mane when he got close enough.
“BAD UPSI- DADDEH!?”
The stallion shivered and started crying happy tears upon seeing his owner’s face.
THUMP And immediately his nuzzle was caved in by a punch.
“GURFH!?”
“Did you just sacrifice me for your own good you fucking bastard? After I fucking fed you and gave you shelter?” Blood spilled from Crystal’s busted face, slowly painting his fluff in a new color, the fluffies below could only watch in terror. Crystal had done the worst thing immaginable, he tried giving a human forever sleepies…
“GURHG! SOGWWY DAGHDEE! WU- GH WUB OU!”
Crystal’s owner proceeded to rip out his Fluffy’s tail with his bare hand, slowly twisting it off.
“SCREEEE!!! WOWSTEST HUWTIES!! NU AM AWT FWUFFY!! HEWP!!!”
“Oh? That Art Fluffy bullshit you’re always talking about? Well, now you’re a fucking Art Fluffy too… let’s see how much you can last, I might get a new Fluffy to do to you the same sick shit I’ve seen you do to other fluffies you call that!”
Crystal’s entire world fell apart that moment, he had blocked off any possibility of suffering so far, detaching himself from the other fluffies in this place… convincing himself he was different, he was real and they were “Art” but now, he was “Art”…
He silently glanced at Glitter, his eyes swollen with bloody tears.
“S-sowwy gwittew… am awt fwuffy nao…”
Glitter heard Crystal’s final words before the stallion got dragged away by his Daddeh.
Glitter’s entire reality crumbled at that moment, he was right after all, Art Fluffies weren’t a thing… he’s never been more terrified in his life, but as he finally unfroze and turned to his Daddeh, hoping to pull him away and escape this dreadful place, he saw his Daddeh’s seat empty…
“Oh I’ve been struggling with back pain for a while!”
Glitter turned in a panic, looking at the massage chair, his Daddeh was now sitting on it…
The lady Monster kept saying silent wordsies… you didn’t know what it meant… she picked you up suddenly, you didn’t try to run away… you couldn’t let your Daddeh get hurties…
The Monster picked up the remote for the chair and Glitter recognised it.
“STAWP!! TAEK WAY NAMESIE!!! NU HUWT DADDEH!!!”
Maybe it was the previous example Crystal set… no… The now nameless Fluffy would’ve done this no matter what, it was just the type of stallion he was. He cried and cried, as the monster got close, she pinched his fluff, and he shivered as he thought about his lost name… his lost Daddeh… maybe he would be an Art Fluffy now, but he couldn’t stomach the idea of his Daddeh going forever sleepies, even if Crystal’s Daddeh escaped in time, he couldn’t be sure the same would happen for his Daddeh…
“Well uh… I really wanted that massage but… I guess this is enough…”
Your Daddeh got up and the monster lady set you on the floor… you took off running…
“Oh shit, WAIT!-”
You didn’t hear anything anymore, the world seemed… muffled… no happiness… nothing. It has to be due to losing your name… you don’t even remember it anymore already.
You had to run and run, until you couldn’t run any longer, you could lose your Daddeh for his own good, but you don’t think you could handle your Daddeh not knowing who you are anymore…
“Huuhuu... am wonewy.. nebah go tu skettiwand... miss Daddeh su su much...”
The sobbing Fluffy collapsed on the grassies, then heards something big approaching fast, he just closed his eyes and accepted whatever fate was coming to him…
“HOOO! Damn you’re a runner! What’s up g- uhm, little guy.”
The Fluffy opened his eyes and started crying and shivering, it was his owner, right before him…
“Hab biggest heawt huwties... fwuffy used to hab Daddeh.. but wose Daddeh...”
“Uhm… let’s see… how about I become your Daddeh?”
Glitter’s eyes went wide.
“Bu- nu am Awt Fwuffy? Fwuffy nu am bad?”
“I don’t know, I’m starting to think you’re a neat Fluffy…”
The Fluffy’s previous owner knelt down to look at him closely.
"You’ll need a pretty new name huh? How about… "
The man actually stopped to think for a second this time.
“Thunder! You kinda look like a sky with clouds and… well, you can certainly make some noise as I’ve seen back there…”
“N-nyu namesie!?”
Thunder’s eyes lit up, he didn’t realise Daddeh could become his owner again! And also give him a new name! He somehow felt that this new name was even prettier than the last one, and also… his Daddeh seemed to look at him differently know, he wasn’t sure why…
You are Thunder’s Old and New Owner, you’re giving him the back scratches he deserves right now. After a big heroic display of his part you started to soften up to the small creature.
This world was full of fantastical beings, and for sure Fluffies were probably the most incompetent living beings on the planet… but this one has something different about him… as you finally give your Fluffy a proper look you realise he is an Alicorn, maybe that’s the reason behind his weird behavior, you’re not quite sure. You noticed when he was sprawled on the floor that he had small pink nubs in the place his wings should be, better not to ask about it…
You feel weird, you’ve never thought this much about a Fluffy’s internal life before…
You decide it’s enough venturing for today, you can think about the rating’s for the exhibits you went to today, you pick up Thunder and he falls asleep against your chest… You’ve grown a lot of empathy for Fluffies today.
“Grhghh… Gwittew… hewp…” You pass by a brand new exhibit of some Flayed fluffy, he’s looking at Thunder, still asleep in your arms, his salty tears burn his flesh as he stares at you with lidless eyes.
You read the exhibit’s name, scribbled with black marker.
“Art Fluffy” You read out loud, and the Fluffy seems to panic at the description.
Hm… you’ll at least correct the poor thing.
“Oh no, this Fluffy lost his name, and I gave him a brand new one, THUNDER! Isn’t that just the nicest thing? Oh the things good behaviour can achieve…”
The Fluffy on display was made aware of his mistakes, and started breathing heavily and spasming.
“GRHG!! NUUU!! NU WAN NAMESIE NU MOW, DADDEH CUM BAK, WAN DIE, FWUFFY WAN WOSE NAEM, FWUFFY WAN DIE FOW DADDEH!!!”
Thunder almost wakes up at the commotion but you hug him tight and he goes right back to sleep as you both leave the event… you’re happy to end the day on a wholesome note.
OH THIS ONE TOOK A WHILE
