About
Fluttercry is a nickname given to a teary-eyed Fluttershy, one of the lead pegasus characters in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, first seen in an episode where she tries to save a dying Phoenix's life, but it bursts into flame before she could do anything to help. Since its on-air debut, Fluttershy's crying scene has been turned into a two-panel exploitable template: the first pane depicts Fluttershy's reaction to something shown on the mini TV screen and the second pane reveals the actual content of media.
Origin
This exploitable series comes from a stillshot of Fluttershy taken from Episode 22 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – "A Bird in the Hoof". In this episode, one of the main characters, Fluttershy, attempts to care for Princess Celestia's sick bird. However, the bird is actually a phoenix at the end of its life cycle, which Fluttershy is not aware of. At one point, the phoenix finally bursts into flame and turns to a pile of ash, leading Fluttershy to believe she has killed the bird. The original image from the episode:
Spread
This image of Fluttershy crying has quickly became exploited on Ponychan and other MLP hubsites in several ways, the most popular being a two-panel image, the first panel being Fluttershy holding a small television set with tears in her eyes, the second being what is supposedly on the screen, usually a depressing scene from a movie, TV show, or video game.
In addition to Ponychan[3] , Fluttercry exploitables have been seen elsewhere on Ponybooru[2], 4chan's /b/[1] and DeviantART[4], as well as featured through social aggregator sites like Tumblr[5] and Reddit[6]. There are several variations of the template in circulation:
Derivatives
The Fluttershy version of the image has spawned a number of derivatives that feature other characters, mostly from MLP:FiM. Some of the initially most popular include:
- Twilight Sparkle watching nerdy/geeky things
- Rainbow Dash watching perverted things
- Pinkie Pie watching insane things
- Steven Magnet (a.k.a. the sea serpent from the pilot) watching stereotypically homosexual things
- Various minor characters watching something to make a pun, i.e. a pile of rocks watching clips from Rocky

This should be added as a submeme of MLP:FIM just like Derpy Hooves was…
I agree with Patricio. This should be under Friendship is Magic.
Why not have three articles, one as the major article for the show, one for all the exploitable images, and then the other for the characters like Derpy Hooves, the Doctor, Steven Magnet?
Where does that leave the Dashface though…
Sub Meme? I can Deal with it!
Confirmed, these are everywhere.
This is under MLP Friendship is magic
rite?

+1 Confirm, as sub-meme.
Should we also include make this meme include images of traumatizing moments as well? Some scenes from movies that weren't sad made me tear up because they were downright freaky.
There are many exploitable variants available, as I remember:
· Rainbow Dash with happy face watching perverted stuff
· Spike with a "don't you squidward"-like face watching rarity
· Pinkie Pie wearing a straitjacket watching crazy random stuff
I'll see if I find the templates for those again
oh! +1 confirm definitely.
This article requires a derivatives section.
I agree with Jiminy. There's so many derivative types, like Twilight Sparkle and the nerdy/poorly-made stuff, and Rainbow Dash and the perverted screens. Heck, we've got a Derpy one. It's no longer just "Fluttercry."
Just Added Toy Story 3 one, surprised there wasn't already like 50 of those.
I added a Death of Charlie Fluttrercry.
+1 confirm. need moar rainbow dash! :D
+Confirm as MLP:FiM sub-meme
There is a new one, Young luna and celestia looking at images from movies and games with the moon ans sun in respectively.
Added the A.I. one, that scene gets me every time I see it.
As the brony who made the original Fluttercry tv-template, I feel like I can die happy knowing that I spawned a meme.
CONFIRM! CONFIRM ALREADY, DAMN YOU!
+1 confirm? +1 confirm!

The "Popularity" section of the article needs to be changed or removed. The popularity of Fluttershy herself has little to do with the meme, and that poll was posted "2 minutes ago" at the time the image was taken, meaning it could've changed since then.
I think we're getting pretty far away from the joke with all the Twilight posts.
WE NEED A FLUTTERCRY CRYING TO PROFESSOR LAYTON (ALL THREE GAMES!) AND MOTHER 3!

You know, I might have liked this MLP thing, until people started stuffing it down our throats all over KYM.
+1 confirm
@Mastercrowe Yes in many ways it is kind of like the furry fandom just with less pervertion and less butthurt one could say. It do tend to be a little to "in your face" at times. But don't worry, you will eventually get used to it. You will also get diabetes from all the cutieness, but you gotta sacrifice something for the internet.
V Its the colors…lol
@Troll Face

Is a meme.

+1 confirm
Manly tears will be shed here…
why? this is good!
The way this meme mutates is amazing… I don't recall the last time I have seen something with so many derivatives… very creative meme with lots of posibilities to keep growing.
they should make one with fluttershy and nina being killed by scar in fma
Whoa! It’s been confirmed! Yay!
Took long enough!
Though there are some old entries that are more deserving…
yay for being confirmed!
Omg it's confirmed. Deep inhale!!!!! yay…!
YES!! HAHA! I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!
I don't…
I jsut dont get it! How did my little pony become a meme?
I really don't get this at all…
What about the rest of the Derivatives?
Dash watching horror/awesome movies.
Applejack watching something lame/annoying.
Luna watching something to do with the Moon.
Celestia watching something to do with the Sun.
Trixie watching something in jealousy.
Rarity watching in disgust at something tacky.
Colgate watching something toothpaste related.
Derpy Hooves watching something… indescribable.
Zecora… yeah…
@PikaRobo
I guess somebrony could add "Ponies Holding Things" so it fits everypony in general.
Down with Capcom! D:<
XD that's very unrelated.
Wat.
Regarding the poll in the article – WHY THE HELL ISN'T THERE A PINKIE PIE OPTION?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@Öbì-Wäñ Kêpòñÿ, Lawdy of Reposts: That is a good question.
Gotta agree with PikaRobo and Luna on this one. Maybe a name change is just what we need, since it's expanding to characters as recent as Discord, and of course many others.
woah woah woah. this article needs A LOT of work!
it's no longer just fluttershy! it's almost every single character in the show with his/her own reaction!
twilight watching socailly ackward things
dash looking at preverted things
insane pinkie pie watching insane things..
rarity being freaked out…
and the list keeps going!
+1 confirm. Everyone from Discord to Steven Magnet is in on the action though – I like the Fluttershy playing video games variant myself.
why? this is good!
XD that's very unrelated.
Wat.
Can I do one with one direction watching my little pony?
