It is recommended that you play the game before reading this page. All spoilers will be unmarked.Friendship is 8-bit: Story of the Blanks is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan-made game made by Donitz in the style of traditional 8-bit games.It follows Apple Bloom as she wanders away from Twilight Sparkle in the Everfree Forest and happens upon a village (called Sunny Town) full of ponies preparing for a party. She's invited to come in and enjoy herself, and aside from the fact that none of them have Cutie Marks or even know what Cutie Marks are, everything seems wonderful and straightforward......until she discovers what lies within the fireplace, and learns of their terrible secret.The game isn't very long (if you don't die, you could finish in ten minutes), but still a great play, and even won Equestria-Gaming's "Creepy Game" contest. Play it for free here (DeviantArt) or here (Newgrounds).Not to be confused with The Blank, and no such Blanks appear in the game.An unofficial HD remake was in the works, but it's since been cancelled. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie: Touching any of the Nightmares except Mitta will result in Apple Bloom becoming a Nightmare and the villagers promising that she will never become like Ruby, protected forever. | |

Dead All Along: Ruby, the strange filly Apple Bloom finds in the Everfree Forest, is actually a ghost, having been murdered by the people of Sunnytown for gaining a Cutie Mark. The same goes for the people of said town, who are cursed to become zombies because of their aforementioned crime. | |

All There in the Script | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_222969af | comment |
All There in the Script: The Level Editor reveals a few names and identities: The zombie ponies are called Nightmares. The skeletal Nightmares are called Bone Fiends. The fast Nightmare is Starlet, making her a case of Beware the Quiet Ones. The two Nightmares who appear with Roneo at the front of Sunny Town are both also Roneo, which may be a case of Self-Duplication. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The comic version is going to have three more chapters. Of note, two things that stand out in the first volume. Mitta mentions the town "didn't deserve this," whereas in the game she says they did deserve it. Also, upon speaking with Ruby after being chased by the residents of Sunny Town, Ruby specifically says she might've triggered something upon entering the town, implying she is not a resident in the comic. There also appears to be some kind of unicorn or alicorn who may or may not be responsible for the curse. The HD Remake, going by this swimming animation and a comment from someone working on the game, new content will be added. Exaggerated: At some point, they were talking about making it with original characters so that (besides avoiding getting a cease and desist from Hasbro) they could hire paid voice actors, have more mature situations and jokesnote why this would be a problem in a fan work not endorsed by the creators of the original is less than clear, especially considering the original was always a horror game, and create toys and other merchandise... This all when talking about the remake of a fangame that takes about fifteen minutes to play from start to finish. Dinky and the Blanks is a (non-canon) Lunaverse adaptation of the game's story. Changes include but are not limited to: Dinky plays Apple Bloom's role and is on a class trip, the town is called "Moonville" instead, the residents' curse is different, and the local Element Bearers get involved. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Apparently done just to mimic the NES's style. Three Leaf (her overworld sprite in particular) looks like a palette swap of Pinkie Pie, although Pinkie doesn't actually appear in the game. | |

Hellish Horse | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_27636a1 | comment |
Hellish Horse: The nightmares are blackened pony skeletons kept together by a bloody red glow, which shines through the eyes and ribs. Mitta's sprite when talking to you looks different- it looks like a normal pony sprite with red fur, black hair, red eyes, and no pupils. The others just have floating red eyes when talking to you. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Cutie marks are treated like a curse in Sunny Town, even though they just mark conscious awareness of your special talent. The thing you are awesome at. However, with the release of episode "The Cutie Pox", it makes their horrific crime even worse as it comes off as a case of either ignorance or irrational paranoia on their part for a treatable disease. | |

Blessed with Suck: The ponies in Sunny Town consider those with cutie marks this and murdered anyone who had them. Since those indicated you had discovered your special talent, the only way not to be murdered was by never figuring out what you were best at. You're still living (for a given value of "alive"), but will never find fulfillment or success. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: "See you later, friend." The ending narration implies that Apple Bloom will not be the first pony to find Sunnytown, nor will she be the last... However, the creator of the game has stated that Story of the Blanks most likely won't have any direct sequels or prequels (but it will probably be referenced in his future FiM games). The fanmade Comic-Book Adaptation has a bigger one, setting up its continuation. | |

The Reveal: Everything seems okay in Sunny Town, but once Apple Bloom follows Ruby into her house and looks in the fireplace, she sees the burnt remains of her skeleton. Ruby later tells Apple Bloom that she was killed by the other townsponies after she received her cutie mark. | |

Screening the Call | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_6fd5d7e | comment |
Screening the Call: What the ponies of Sunnytown tried to do and have done, motivated by extreme fear of the Cutie Pox. They ritualistically killed Ruby, a young filly, for earning her Cutie Mark in finding things, presumably by burning her alive. It's implied that they were cursed to live forever as zombies for this crime. When Apple Bloom stumbles upon the town and discovers the inhabitants' dark secret, they turn their attentions on her and attempt to save her from earning her Cutie Mark, so she won't be "cursed" like Ruby was. | |

Idiot Ball: Let's face it Apple Bloom, leaving your guardian to follow some random pony into a haunted forest wasn't the best idea you've ever had, and it is almost a Curiosity Killed the Cast situation. Of course, this is Apple Bloom we're talking about. Doesn't sound at all improbable she would pull a stunt like that. | |

Worthless Yellow Rocks | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_83856158 | comment |
Worthless Yellow Rocks: Zig-Zagged, Apple Bloom seems disappointed when she finds a ruby the size of her hoof, but it's actually what Roneo intended to give Starlet as a present. This trope is even justified within the setting- this is a world where you can find diamonds the size of your head just by wandering around in the hills and digging a foot down in the dirt. Gemstones in general are abundant enough that entire species can use them as a food source without them worrying about running out. Spike regularly snacks on stones bigger than that ruby in the show. Apple Bloom finding a ruby of that size isn't so much of something to celebrate as it is a very mild curiosity. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Zecora tells Twilight and Apple Bloom to get out of the forest before it gets dark. And then along comes Ruby as it gets dark... Mitta is the only pony that's not participating in the party, and can be found in one of the buildings in a severely depressed state, lamenting how the same thing happens every year. It's later revealed that Mitta regrets not stopping Ruby from being killed by her neighbors, and atones by helping Apple Bloom escape. That the village exists in the depths of the Everfree Forest itself is one. In the show, every time the Forest is mentioned, it's explicitly laid out that it's filled with horrible monsters and is utterly unnatural; that Ponyville is on its border is purely because of the good farmland around it, not that anyone actually wanted to be near the place. And yet, somehow there's this nice, brightly lit village in the middle of it that no one knows about? | |

Mood Whiplash: As soon as you check the fireplace and then visit the town after, the previously cheerful town has revealed its true state as a patch of overgrown ruins that's infested with zombies. Yikes. Also the sudden switch from the frightening and narrow escape to the cheerful and bubbly theme song over pastel-colored credits is extremely jarring. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Ruby, which is a central plot point. Also Apple Bloom if you can't dodge the Nightmares and escape town. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: The enemies are completely black when you first encounter them, and there are a few screens where the ground is completely black. There are no invisible enemies in these "black ground" screens, but try telling your mind that. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Three Leaf and Roneo as Nightmares. Similar to Mitta, they are not actively hostile, but unlike her, they will turn you into a Nightmare if you touch them. | |

Stepford Suburbia | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_d93c5989 | comment |
Stepford Suburbia: Although Sunny Town is technically more of a rural hamlet, it still fits the trope. On the outside, it's a normal place like Ponyville, with its inhabitants in the middle of preparing a party. But once Apple Bloom discovers evidence of a past crime the people have committed, Sunny Town's true state is revealed as a patch of overgrown ruins infested with zombies. | |

Big Damn Heroes: During the Nightmares' chase of Apple Bloom, Mitta arrives just in time and pulls a You Shall Not Pass! to prevent her undead neighbors from catching up with their target. As the zombies are closing in on Ruby and Apple Bloom, Twilight shows up and saves her. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: This is inverted with Mitta. She was already dead to begin with, having been turned into a zombie, but she atones for her inaction towards Ruby's murder by helping Apple Bloom escape the undead hordes of Sunnytown. | |

Betrayal by Inaction | |
| Story of the Blanks (Video Game) / int_f46eebb | comment |
Betrayal by Inaction: Mitta blames herself for not protecting Ruby when the other ponies of the town wanted to kill her for getting her cutie mark. She is the only one who feels they deserve their punishment and protects Apple Bloom from sharing in Ruby's fate. | |
