Description

The following is stream of conscious bullshit before I went to sleep:
A comic I guess about how much further you can interpret the character of Little Pip based on:
Fallout Equestria as a diegetic piece of work. Meaning that: the story exists as a thing within the universe of its own creation as a spoken piece characters in the universe can hear and even read. As such, the character of Little Pip can be expanded to involve the elements of the story not directly stated by its own words, but by the manner of its own telling. That being originally in-universe a live improvised story-telling event by its own main character can imply some new or unthought of ideas about her. So I propose three new details about Little Pip that come from this reading. These being:
  • She is a chatter box: While spitting out over six-hundred words and telling an hours long story over the radio may not be impossible, she does do it without a script and simply approaches the mic in the SPP and begins recounting her adventures. This leads me to believe she is capable of story telling and speaking at length and the implication in this is that she probably doesn’t stop talking. If not as energetic as Little Pip, she probably is used to and able to talk about things on hours, entirely improvised and not being a performer in the story does not have an alternative sort of personality that many such performers sometimes do have and what people form parasocial relations with. So how she tells it, is what you get, and it’s not really a carefully curated and prepared story and is just something she does as Pip. With whatever details omitted.
This has lead me to two possible complimentary additions since having the thought, which can be added onto the reading, or totally left out and those are:
  • Pip is ADHD and her thought process is probably naturally distracted and not always on track, if to explain the digressions in the story that needs to be answered.
  • Adding to this, she may have some level of autism in addition to the ADHD which I am mostly just thinking about a friend of mine who is low-key on the spectrum with ADHD and bounces around between his interests of the time but is able to get really into the details and recall them fairly accurately. Which I’m only recalling because of the sort of detail the story is written in for being a first-person account of a very dense and complicated series of events.
You could also then of course just say:
“Kkat being an unprofessional writer just inserted unwittingly all of their mannerisms into the central character.” but that’s a reading of the character of the author and not the story and I’m really just interested in the reading of the story.

I’ve read the story two times to completion, but it was a story so nice I had to read it twice. And so for my sins I went back and looked at how it ends and I may have been a little wrong.
I looked at the download device. It was meant to make a copy of a pony’s entire mind in a few hours. How quickly, then, could it make a simple copy of a couple months?
“I want to send a message,” I told Celestia as I wrapped the helmet in my magic, turning the download station on. “I want to tell them what really happened. To explain. Even if they never believe me. I owe them all that much.”
Again, I asked, “Will you help me?”
Again, the answer, “Of course, my little pony.”
Two months. The copy process should only take minutes. Add an hour for editing and adding in a few thoughts…
I slipped the helmet onto my head and started up the arcano-tech device. I felt the odd sense of mental “pressure” as the device synced up to my brain, and experienced an odd taste, like that of muffin-flavored cake. I took a deep breath as I tried to figure out just how to begin.
Then I began, thinking:
If I’m going to tell you about the adventure of my life – explain how I got to this place with these people, and why I did what I’m going to do next – I should probably start by explaining a little bit about PipBucks…
-End of chapter 45, Virtue of Pip
The story basically ends with it being told again but only through a mind reader.
I will still hold to this particular reading of FoE tho

That did happen. But I am pretty sure that once she locks herself into the SPP tower she has another Memory Orb Extraction process to get the Fo:E story out of her system. With that also being the reason there’s an awkward gap during the Goddess Plan: She couldn’t extract that bit of the story because she had deliberately wiped it from her own mind, and so when reliving the story to retell it as a radioplay, she couldn’t relive that part.
Could be wrong though. It was years ago.

I love chatterbox autistic Pippeh.
…. But also, she very transparently doesn’t narrate all of Fallout: Equestria at once diagetically. She extracts it into a bunch of Memory Orbs and retells it to the wasters piecemeal, with the benefit of being able to go back and relive them.
I was fairly confident that only applied to her plan with The Goddess. Not everything she did was removed and put into memory orbs for her to look at later. Just what she did to kill The Goddess so she couldn’t figure out what she was doing because the only people who knew only knew their bit parts. Pip was the only one who knew it all, and had it all deleted from her brain.

You underestimate
a. how common personality disorders are in the real world
b. how, given how the characters in the show are, personality disorders are actually the norm in Equestria and
c. how personality disorders are often made rather than born with, and “was locked for her entire life in a dark grey place alone with her own thoughts” is like a recipe for a personality disorder

“But mental disorder or autism spectrum?”
Or maybe she’s the way she is after being locked away in a maintenance stall for 8 hours or so a day for her entire goddamn life with nobody to talk to, fuck all to do until something breaks, and no mental stimulation, only finally being broken out of that cage when Velvet escapes the Stable, prompting the story to begin? You’d jump at the opportunity to talk someone’s ear off too after 16 to 20 years of that shit.
All I’m saying is that’s far more likely than the pastel pony having a brain disorder.
