Sugarcube Corner
🕑 Added 2020-06-18 00:01:37 +0000 UTCPB Sandwich and Midnight Abyss both work at Sugarcube Corner. Since Pinkie Pie left years ago to open a joke shop with Cheese, and since the Cake children have careers unrelated to baking (Pound is a boxer, Pumpkin is a food scientist), Mister and Missus Cake have needed help keeping their bakery afloat. PB is a super dedicated, enthusiastic, and loyal worker, adored by the elderly Cakes, whom he adores right back. Midnight is also there.
Midnight developed an interest in baking at a young age, and after much begging, she was allowed to start an apprenticeship with Miss Sugar Belle. Although Sugar at first tried to keep things polite and strictly professional, she couldn't evade all of Midnight's questions about Our Town, and eventually spilled the beans. Listening to Sugar's stories disillusioned Midnight on the idea of the great magical destiny her mothers always said was waiting for her, and especially affected her relationship with Starlight. Rather than becoming the pretty princess her mothers dreamed of, Midnight became a slacker witch-for-hire. She often needed space to get away from her moms and pressure about the future, so on a whim she applied for a job at Sugarcube Corner.
Now Midnight spends most of her time baking with her co-worker (and boyfriend) PB Sandwich. She's kind of a terrible employee and entirely apathetic to customers, but the Cakes aren't sure if firing her would bring a terrible curse down on their heads (answer: yes it would, Midnight has already calibrated the spell). PB however thinks "Abby" is just the absolute bee's knees, and can often be spotted being a blushy doting dolt around her.
Pinkie doesn't like her son (precious momma's boy that he is) dating some random drab goth but what can ya do

Yes. I'm always working on the story. There will be more chapters eventually, I've just been focusing on more light-hearted stuff lately

I think lop mentioned that Midnight was a gray ace

Aaaa Midnight! I missed her. Are we gonna see more of the Moondancer arc?
PrincessMuffinArt
Oh! They are dating now! :D Thats good to see. I know you said midnight is ace, but that doesn't mean aro. :)

Not really. Cloudy has a small pocket of friends....and then everyone else outside it tends to forget she exists. She gets overshadowed by her siblings and mom, to the point where articles on Rainbow Dash often forget to mention her third child.

aaaaaah this has been one of my favourite ships of the pandoraverse since it was mentioned!!! im so glad to see it canonised :D
Angsty Ram
This makes me think. Does anyone in your cast dislike Cloudy?
Shimazun
I love Midnight!
Maile Greenwell
Lol this couple gives me life. I'm curious though if momma bear Pinkie approves of anyone getting their grubby mits on her babies?

Also I love that Peebs is still gender fluid! Or at least dressed that way 🥺🥺 I love that representation, at least of his enthusiastic “cross-dressing”
D
Also they are such a GREAT couple and AH I died when I noticed that Midnight’s skirt/apron matches Peebs’ 🥺

God I needed another dose of in-my-head-Jack McBrayer-voice thank you

It's up to y'all to decide. They could be a three way poly thing, or PB could just have a boyfriend and a girlfriend, or Smokey could be out of the picture entirely and just a friend
Lopoddity
She is still asexual and still raises the dead. :)
Coraline T
does smokey remain part of the ot3 or was that a one time thing :o? either way this is super cute! i love couples that are basically the "you're gonna die" "of fun!" dynamic
MyLittleVerse
Is Midnight still asexual and raise the dead? The two most important questions clearly!
Lopoddity
Nah. Starlight is good now. Mostly.
Nimbose
Oh.. Should I be worried for Sugar Belle? 🥺

I love the idea of super chill Cloudy casually appearing in various business/character arcs. It really brings the whole world together as a reminder how connected it is.

why do you keep COMING for my HEART and SOUL like this

My immediate thought upon seeing Midnight dubbed 'Abby' is someone elderly overhearing the nickname, assuming her name, and calling for 'Abigail' to get her one of those pretty pink cupcakes, please? Midnight, despite being pretty much fine with most things gothic and gruesome, DOES have standards, and knows that the elderly mare she's serving probably didn't MEAN that absolutely HORRENDOUS insult (and probably didn't have good enough vision to read her name tag in the first place), so in the end she doesn't curse the poor mare. (That doesn't stop her from laying a light curse on PB for causing the whole thing - for the rest of the day, PB just can't seem to get his words right - saying something about taking a 'bot hath' at the end of the day, or how the customers today were 'nery vice'!) Meanwhile... Midnight: I ejected an eclair with dysentery. Cloudburst: Cool. Can you inject my donut with the will to live? PB: Do sprinkles count?! Cloudburst: Close enough.
