A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

It's jarring because she never does that in the actual show. It's a horrible case of character exagerration.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayShe doesn't do it in show because she's biding her time. You can't control what she chooses to do outside it.

Oh she has shown her hand, but she knows now not to be impatient.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectSometimes she plays with the visuals but she never explicitly refers to the fact that it's a show or anything like that.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Wryte: At most she does a form of Leaning on the Fourth Wall or Painting the Medium. But she's never gone as far as say, directly referenced the fact that she's in a TV show. And I wouldn't necessarily say that playing with the Iris Out is even specific to her; I'm pretty sure Twilight has messed with it as well.

Reaction Image RepositoryYeah, Pinkie is the most meta of the cast, but fanworks tend to greatly exaggerate the degree to which she's self-aware. It's not like she references things that happened "4 episodes ago" or anything like that.
Reaction Image RepositoryNot to mention Spike physically popping Twilight's speech bubble in "Lesson Zero" or Discord causing ponies to run over the edges of the screen.
Reaction Image RepositoryNow I'm up to the part where Pinkie's giving the tutorial for interrogations. While I realize this isn't what she means, whenever she says "interrogation", I imagine her being all cheery about a slightly less innocent form of interrogation.

She'll pop balloons next to your head, she swears to Celestia.

Ug, I hate how Pinkie is always shown egregiously breaking the fourth wall in fanworks. It was bad enough in Turnabout Storm.
