Looks like this art might actually be coming to life

Exactly

@Background Pony #8D30  
Only shows how dedicated she is

And then the latest episode reveals Fluttershy is afraid of clowns.

@genervt  
Ageeed, she should try it out on the show or in EQG!

Fluttershy is best clown.

@Background Pony #C703  
Thank you for that, someone needs to turn that into a comic, fanfic or even episode!!!!

Fluttershy: (while laughing) “Laughter is the best of the best medicine!” (laughs) “Nurse Redheart is such a good doctor!” (laughs again)
 
Pinkie: (Mockingly) “Medic! Medic! Medic!” (laughs)
 
Fluttershy: “Oh Angel, you almost cuteness-ed me to death that time!” (pulls out a wrench) Did I throw a wrench into your Pinkie plans for the weekend?” (laughs maniacally)
 
Pinkie: (still laughing) “Fluttershy, you’re the best at cheering me up!”
 
Fluttershy: “I hope Rainbow Dash hears this:” (mimicking Lightning Dust) “This is Lightning Dust! Thinking about Rainbow Dash makes me cry because I am such a tool! Over!”
 
Pinkie: (laughs at Fluttershy’s jokes even harder)

@Ponylooker  
Well in the show she was trying to do it in front of a crowd of strangers, performing for your sick friend is another matter entirely

Has someone made a story out of this yet?

@Background Pony #4E3F  
I think the problem is that Fluttershy trying to be funny already happened in the show, so if she’s good at it she’s out of character and if she’s hilariously bad at it it’s reruns. Not a good situation for the creative types. That said, I would read the hell out of the latter anyway.

@Background Pony #4E3F  
Not that I know of, There was a fanfic that uses the image as a cover but has nothing to do with it.

Is there a fanfic about this picture yet?

well it’s like some people say: laughter is the best medicine

Fluttershy is the cutest clown n.n

D’aww how sweet.

@G.S.  
That fic used this picture on the cover, but it wasn’t about it. She didn’t even do the clown routine in the story.

Some guy wrote a fic about this and made these two totes gay for each other.
 
Ugh. That was completely uneccessary. You don’t need to be romantically involved with your friend to go and cheer her up when she’s not feeling well.

@Ponylooker  
I think it’s the kindness that radiates from it. This is just so perfectly something Fluttershy would do, letting her desire to be kind to others push her to step outside her comfort zone.
 
This is also hands down one of the most brilliant fanart pieces I’ve seen because it’s basically a self-contained episode. If you know anything about both of these characters, you can’t help but imagine exactly how this would play out as an episode.

@Background Pony #B571  
they’re humans, not ponies

WHO ARE THE 2 PONIES WHO DISLIKE THIS PIC? WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THIS?

It never ceases to amaze me how this picture of someone in clown makeup doesn’t creep me out…or how happy it makes me every time I see it.
