comment
Bubbles is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic oneshot. The writer is anonymous, but the story was written early in the fandom's lifespan.The story is about the foalhood of a background pony referred to by most as "Derpy Hooves". Derpy is ignorant to the fact she's considered different from other foals. Her mother, on the other hand, is well-aware of her daughter's disabilities and hates her for it. Derpy doesn't care though—she's ignorant to the harshness of her home life.

The Klutz: Deconstructed. Derpy is very clumsy, but it's because she has a disability.

Ambiguous Situation: While it's heavily implied that Derpy's mother tried to poison her, it could have just been that Derpy ate too much.

Bittersweet Ending: The story ends with Derpy being abandoned in the woods. The only thing making this a "Bittersweet Ending" and not a straight up Downer Ending is that it's about an established character's childhood, so obviously she ended up fine in the end.

Would Hurt a Child: Zigzagged. It's implied that Derpy's mother tried to poison her, but maybe Derpy just ate too much instead. However, she does abandon her in the woods at the end.

comment
Loving Parent, Cruel Parent: Derpy's mother is abusive to her daughter because of her birth defects, hitting her, calling her a "retard pony", being implied to have tried to poison her, and eventually abandoning her. Her father, however, is a loving father and tries to teach her to get by with the birth defects.

Vague Age
 Bubbles (Fanfic) / int_7f080f98
comment
Vague Age: Derpy is very naive in this story, but it's hard to tell how much of that naivete is due to her disability and how much is simply due to her young age. The disability is vaguely-defined, so she might be a developmentally-normal four-year-old with physical disabilities, or she might be a developmentally-delayed twelve-year-old. She's younger than a teenager, though.

Abusive Parents: Derpy's mother is emotionally (calling her a retard, yelling at her) and physically (hitting her) abusive. It's also implied that she tried to poison her and then she abandons Derpy in the woods.

Unfortunate Names: Derpy's name is often deemed negative. In the context of the story, it makes sense that her abusive mother would give her a demeaning name.

comment
Innocent Inaccurate: Due to either her young age, her disability, or both, Derpy sometimes misunderstands serious things: She doesn't understand that her mother is abusive; she thinks she's just loud and that she's calling her a "retard pony" because it's just a pony subtype, like a pegasus or a unicorn. When she has to go to the hospital, she doesn't realise and thinks it's just a cool new place.
