That’s not fucked up at all.

Yah, fluttershy seems like a better fit. Both started out shy and weak, but then became braver, and for carol she also became hardened. I can see flutter shy being warped and hardened by a zombie apocalypse. Another fit might be marble pie

It’s from both.

As has been said already, The Walking Dead was referencing Of Mice And Men, so a reference to that scene in TWD would also have to be a reference to OMAM.

I don’t like ponies being drawn in underwear, and I don’t even like the EQG characters being drawn in underwear. I generally don’t like clop and where it can lead the fandom. Every time I see posts with characters in skimpy swimwear or gigantic, unrealistic breasts bulging through suction-cup t-shirts or just a scene with the characters in their underwear… I say, “That’s so unnecessary.”
 
So I totally understand your feelings.

Yet, here I am, having drawn this (and much worse). Emotional value, grimdark material, I like to mix cute and dark and sad. I love Flutterbuse, not because I hate Fluttershy, but because seeing her hurt, sad, and crying makes her more adorably cute and lovable.
 
I like to make my audience cry, sometimes angry at the fiction, and express and get in touch with many emotions, not just joy and happiness. I dislike and disagree with sexualizing the pony-based characters, but there’s no way I can stop it nor will I even try.

@Meanlucario  
This is from the walking dead, not of mice and men

What sparked people to draw ponified Silent Hill, or fics like Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory.

.

@Carter Resado  
Why not? Everything else has one. It’s not even the only one.

.

@Carter Resado  
Because everything needs ponification.

.

@Carter Resado  
Because she has a emotional connection with Scoots.

I wonder if she murdered apple bloom or sweetie belle, or both

@Chopsticks  
So it’s a reference to a reference. Neat.

I’ve learned over time that apparently The Walking Dead got it from Of Mice and Men.

I know this is a Walking Dead reference, but my first thought was Of Mice and Men

A FLOWER?
