The following is stream of conscious bullshit before I went to sleep:
A comic I guess about how much further you can interpret the character of Little Pip based on:Fallout Equestria as a diegetic piece of work. Meaning that: the story exists as a thing within the universe of its own creation as a spoken piece characters in the universe can hear and even read. As such, the character of Little Pip can be expanded to involve the elements of the story not directly stated by its own words, but by the manner of its own telling. That being originally in-universe a live improvised story-telling event by its own main character can imply some new or unthought of ideas about her. So I propose three new details about Little Pip that come from this reading. These being:
- She is a chatter box: While spitting out over six-hundred words and telling an hours long story over the radio may not be impossible, she does do it without a script and simply approaches the mic in the SPP and begins recounting her adventures. This leads me to believe she is capable of story telling and speaking at length and the implication in this is that she probably doesn’t stop talking. If not as energetic as Little Pip, she probably is used to and able to talk about things on hours, entirely improvised and not being a performer in the story does not have an alternative sort of personality that many such performers sometimes do have and what people form parasocial relations with. So how she tells it, is what you get, and it’s not really a carefully curated and prepared story and is just something she does as Pip. With whatever details omitted.
This has lead me to two possible complimentary additions since having the thought, which can be added onto the reading, or totally left out and those are:
Pip is ADHD and her thought process is probably naturally distracted and not always on track, if to explain the digressions in the story that needs to be answered. Adding to this, she may have some level of autism in addition to the ADHD which I am mostly just thinking about a friend of mine who is low-key on the spectrum with ADHD and bounces around between his interests of the time but is able to get really into the details and recall them fairly accurately. Which I’m only recalling because of the sort of detail the story is written in for being a first-person account of a very dense and complicated series of events.You could also then of course just say:
“Kkat being an unprofessional writer just inserted unwittingly all of their mannerisms into the central character.” but that’s a reading of the character of the author and not the story and I’m really just interested in the reading of the story.

That did happen. But I am pretty sure that once she locks herself into the SPP tower she has another Memory Orb Extraction process to get the Fo:E story out of her system. With that also being the reason there’s an awkward gap during the Goddess Plan: She couldn’t extract that bit of the story because she had deliberately wiped it from her own mind, and so when reliving the story to retell it as a radioplay, she couldn’t relive that part.

You underestimate
a. how common personality disorders are in the real world
b. how, given how the characters in the show are, personality disorders are actually the norm in Equestria and
c. how personality disorders are often made rather than born with, and “was locked for her entire life in a dark grey place alone with her own thoughts” is like a recipe for a personality disorder
Or maybe she’s the way she is after being locked away in a maintenance stall for 8 hours or so a day for her entire goddamn life with nobody to talk to, fuck all to do until something breaks, and no mental stimulation, only finally being broken out of that cage when Velvet escapes the Stable, prompting the story to begin? You’d jump at the opportunity to talk someone’s ear off too after 16 to 20 years of that shit.
First time I read this. Ever.
