That is some seriously deep character analysis there, sonny jim.

Childhood regression is a form of (usually) temporary insanity, so it could be both things at once and still hold true.

All in all, very depressing. But pretty well thought-out and interesting.

I think growing up on a rock farm and staying sane are mutually exclusive.

Valid point, until the creators of the show say otherwise. I do like this sense of hidden undertones within the ponies themselves, gives them a bit more depth. You sir deserve some applause.

I didn't like Pinkie in the beginning. I just thought she was obnoxious. But you're right, and I have long since come to like her.

This is one of the many, many reasons why I love the show. The characters allow for deep and complex personalities.

in fact, fluttershy, rainbow dash, rarity, and applejack all had lives full of supportive friends and family. pinkie pie asked twilight to stay for more cake because twilight is the only other one who understands what it is like to be alone. this is also why pinkie pie was unusually excited when twilight came to ponyville, because while pinkie knew everyone, is there anyone she could call her friend?

having grown up neglected and friendless, pinkie pie's ability to make friends is undeveloped and retarded, and she tries to compensate instead with parties. even when she went chasing after rainbow dash to be friends, who had she been talking to before that? twilight sparkle. i bet becoming dash's friend was all twilight's idea.

fluttershy crushes on her, but pinkie pie doesn't know

If you freeze frame at the right place when Pinkie is asking Twilight if she wants to stay later, then yeah, it can potentially be interpreted as depressed; or at least very needy and lonely.

This is one of the reasons why I want to give her a hug. What she needs is someone who's not capable of getting irritated by her constant hyperness, as even the most patient of her friends are.

Pinkie Pie became my favorite character after that episode. Her character depth is amazing for someone in a kids' show. They could have made her a two-dimensional spaz, but she has shown anger, depression, stoicism, and calm lucidity at times. It's as if she actually thinks about things instead of running through a script.

This actually makes more sense than the 'Insane Pinkie' theory. Yes, I think this makes more sense.

I'd just like to point out that we don't really know 100% for sure if Pinkie's cutie mark story was a fabrication.

@redweasel except that twilight has had spike with her her entire "adult" life thus far, and before that had her parents with her and supportive (and living in Canterlot I'm sure is more exciting than a rock farm).. Twilight will never know how Pinkie Pie feels..

I'm not comfortable with assuming things about Pinkie's family. They were completely supportive of her the very first time she threw a party--maybe the "no laughing, no smiling" wasn't a rule as much as it was natural for them. We don't know if she had friends or if she went to school. Her parents could be saints (they have saintlike patience to be running a rock farm), but maybe they just didn't know what Pinkie wanted. Heck, Pinkie herself didn't know what she wanted until the rainboom.

I'm sure her life was boring, but maybe we shouldn't go so far as to assume that she wasn't allowed off the farm or to have fun.

Dude........ I remember a thread with this by a guy name Logos or some shit like that over at ponychan where he went and dissect this shit and went and analyze her memory for different details...... the thread 404 already and he said he isn't writing anymore but shit was awesome.

Good to see someone doing something similar so I can save it.

*is the author of this*

I did not say that they were not saints, but if you really think about it, it was not the best enviroment for her. Her sisters seemed to accept it but she was clearly depressed while living there.

I personally think that if you consider her "friends" that she created, it makes perfect sense that she had imaginary friends back on the Rock Farm.

Her home was desolate without any color or life. So let's look at her imaginary friends:

Turnips
Flour
Rocks

We see her stacking rocks on top of one another in almost the same pattern as her imaginary friend rocks.

Turnips make logical sense of being the food that they ate on the farm as it was clearly out of the way and there were obviously no apples to be seen. This also explains why she devours so many sweets - because she grew up eating nothing but bland turnips.

The flour also makes sense as it is an essential ingrediant that one would find on a farm - even a rock farm at that. It in itself is just as bland as the rest of the land. Ergo it is safe to believe that the reason she chose these 3 things in Party for One was because they were what she grew up with and already created friends of.

An interesting analysis. I totally agree that she has trouble interacting without framing it in the context of a party. More to the point, she seems to actively avoid entertaining herself when her friends are busy, and instead does things like try to talk Twi's ear off when she's reading (Griffon the Brush Off).
Still, that doesn't mean her freak out in Party of One wasn't insanity. It was definitely intended to be read as such.

One note -- Pinkie's rock farm should be in the general vicinity of Ponyville. You can tell because Dash's rainbow appears to have touched down in Ponyville, as observed by AJ, and the rainbow seems to have ended just behind the hill from Pinkie's perspective. (This also suggests that Dash is a Ponyville native, and her first act post-rainboom was going to show her family her new cutie mark.)

We can also estimate the location of the farm relative to Ponyville based on the rainboom, which points us toward Cloudsdale. The rainboom came from straight ahead, and the hill Dash vanished behind was a little ahead of Pinkie's left. Therefore her farm is south-east of Ponyville, if we assume Cloudsdale is straight north. (That is to say, from Ponyville, find Cloudsdale, then rotate ~135 degrees clockwise. That's the bearing to the farm.)

Overcompensating to try and get others to notice you? Done that before, its not fun

While that makes sense if we assume Pinkie is a normal mortal Earth Pony... I have this strange inkling she's as old as Celestia and Luna. Some kind of immortal (or close enough by normal pony standards).

Look at Elements of Harmony. Of the 5, Pinkie wasn't looking on with awe and wonder... she was actually calm about receiving the necklace. Like it had happened before.

So what if Pinkie is an immortal in a similar way to The Doctor (Dr Who). The pressure of outliving everyone you care about always weighs heavily on the heart.

I don't remember where I was going with this now. It's all loose ideas in my head.

Yeah, this seems very valid; being an only child, I kinda picked up on the signs of lonliness in ep 25. Anyone that vehemently extroverted usually has trouble with (or even fears) being alone.

Pinkie Pie is perfectly comfortable with entertaining herself. Remember, she was "alone" when Twilight was stalking her in "Feeling Pinkie Keen," and she was having a good time.

It does make sense that her "friends" in "Party of One" were ones she had created as a child. I'm just uncomfortable with putting her parents and family in a bad light.

^Yeah, but would she have acted differently if Twilight wasn't there? She just allowed Twilight to stalk her, she wasn't doing anything for Twilight's benefit. I think she'd have done the same things either way--or else she would have warned Twilight about the bees or other twitches.

We don't really know. We've never seen Pinkie Pie by herself.

I don't think she would have warned Twi either considering that she wanted Twilight to believe her.
