This bite-sized RockOpera is a RecursiveFanfiction based on the [[{{Gorn}} infamously terrifying]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction, Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}}. It takes place during and after [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom a]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne few]] episodes. It [[AdaptationExpansion expands]] upon several ideas that weren't in the original fic, like how [[FreudianExcuse Pinkie's father abused her as a filly]].

It can be found on Bandcamp [[http://tarbyrocks.bandcamp.com/album/something-broke-the-continuing-tale-of-pinkie-pie-ponycide here,]] and on Soundcloud [[http://soundcloud.com/tarbyrocks/something-broke here.]]

According to creator George [=DesRoches=] (better known as Tarby), the story of ''Something Broke'' is far from over. A redux of the song is planned as the opening track of his upcoming RockOpera ''Forever Broken,'' which will expand on the original story even more.

* InTheStyleOf: The third part ("Young Fliers' Competition) sounds a lot like the RedHotChiliPeppers, complete with funky guitar, informal, slang-filled lyrics, and gratuitous swearing.

* {{Sampling}}: [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask The Skull Kid's scream]] can be heard towards the end of "Late-Night Accident."

* SpiritualSuccessor: It's like ''TheWall'' written for ponies.

Well, where to start? This bite-sized RockOpera is a RecursiveFanfiction based on the [[{{Gorn}} infamously]] [[NightmareFuel terrifying]] FanFiction, {{Cupcakes}}. It takes place during and after [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom a]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne few]] episodes. It [[AdaptationExpansion expands]] upon several ideas that weren't in the original fic, like how [[FreudianExcuse Pinkie's father abused her as a filly]].

* DarkReprise: "Hide the Body" is a slow, melancholy version of "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Art of the Dress]]" whose ending reprises "Cupcakes" (from the same show). The album's final track combines this with LyricalDissonance.

* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Pinkamena takes over, starting during Awakening, and finishing during Hide The Body.

According to creator George DesRoches (better known as Tarby), the story of ''Something Broke'' is far from over. A redux of the song is planned as the opening track of his upcoming RockOpera ''Forever Broken,'' which will expand on the original story even more.

* FreudianExcuse: Pinkie has one now, in that [[AbusiveParents her dad hit her when she was young.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: The song weaves two episodes from [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the actual show]] into its storyline, and it works surprisingly well.

* DarkReprise: "Hide the Body" is a slow, melancholy version of "[[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Art of the Dress]]" whose ending reprises "Cupcakes" (from the same show). The album's final track combines this with LyricalDissonance.

* LastNoteNightmare: [[spoiler: [[DarkReprise The last song]] has a particularly good one.]][[hottip:*:Specifically, Tarby goes from singing to screaming on a dime and the music suddenly becomes loud, dissonant, and abrasive, before cutting into a series of dissonant, lonely guitar notes.]]
