Seeing all the accumulated greens and quality art has been really heartening. I genuinely really love these threads.

>>42722295
Same. It's a real surpise to me that these threads have taken off like that. But it's a pleasant surprise.

it's a rare and miraculous thing to see a new thread blossom into self-sustainability
it probably helps that this thread doesn't have tranny shit, unlike the tfg

>Spoiler
Pretty much. It's very vanilla apart from the stallion aspect.

>"I still can't believe you threw away a letter from Celestia-" Rainbow cuts her own words off with her chuckles
>You're glad at least one of you sees some comedy in this
>Cause you're still a little freaked out
>Rainbow's reassured you a dozen times by now
>Apparently the immortal god-like monarchs that rule these ponies are, to quote Rainbow, "pretty chill"
>You could argue against Luna maybe
>Your waking body still aches from what you went through in a dream
>Seriously, though, what is a changeling?
"I thought it was a joke, alright?"
>"That's what makes it so funny." Her laughter is renewed as she spins around you
>You don't know how she knew when you were going to leave, but she was outside your door just as you were ready
>You’d reminded her she didn’t need to come with you to Canterlot
>Her only response was “I know. Now come on.”
>Leading to now as the two of you make the slow, longhaul flight to Canterlot
>You peer down at the verdant fields and rolling hillocks beneath you
>Winding through it, almost blending into the nature is a train line
"I still don't see why we didn't take the train" You mutter more to yourself than anything
>Not one to let a conversation go unsaid, Rainbow chimes in
>"Cause this is faster"
"With how often I see you napping, I thought you'd like the train, less effort"
>"Well," Rainbow goes to argue, but pauses briefly at your logic, "yeah, sure, sometimes. But I only take the train if it's me and the girls. Only Fluttershy can fly and she isn't a strong enough flier to go from Ponyville to Canterlot by wing"
"So this is a treat just for me?" You sarcastically ask
>You're answered with a small knock to your side from her hoof
>"So, why did you think it was a joke?" Rainbow tilts her head at you as she asks
"Well, why wouldn't I, Dash?" You shrug your shoulders at her. "I mean, what could the princess want with me? I'm kind of a nobody"
>She scoffs as if you'd just insulted her mother
>That thought reminds you that you need to meet her parents at some point
>You could probably get some good material on her from them
>Your slowly growing smirk goes as Rainbow continues
>"What do you mean? You're awesome, and I don't throw that word around lightly you know" She nudges you with an elbow and a wink
"Rainbow, I'm pretty sure I heard you use that word a dozen times yesterday"
>She waves you off with a smirk. "Correction, I don't use that word for other ponies, lightly, how's that?"
>You're still unconvinced
"And what exactly have I done that's so impressive? Aside from being a hermit for a few months straight"
>She snickers at your joke then pauses as she realizes you're serious
>"Oh. Come. On!" She throws her hooves up as she looks at you. "Dude, that contest you did with me? You saving Mach from the Everfree? That prank war with Applejack?” She snickers lightly at the memory. “Not to mention the fact you spent everyday working to get better at flying? How are you not awesome?"

>You hope the small heat you feel in your cheeks isn't showing on your green fur
>Sure, you'd done a few things you normally wouldn't recently
>But they were nothing special
>Any other pony would have saved a kid from that forest
>Working on your flying was just a hobby
>That contest with Dash was mostly for the money and bragging rights
>And you were just in a bad mood with Applejack
>None of it was really anything special
>At least, that's what you'd thought
>But as you look at Rainbow you begin to question yourself
>There's a fiery determination in her eyes
>Certainty of her own words
>You can imagine that you'd find this all hard to believe if it was any pony other than Rainbow telling you
>She had a way of taking the confidence she was overflowing with and giving it to others
>Maybe you can allow yourself a bit of confidence in what you've done
>But not too much
>Rainbow's ego is already too big for Ponyville alone
>They don't need a second
"Well, I'm not sure if I'd say I'm quite at 'awesome' yet," You say with a small smile, "but I could settle for say... cool?" You nudge Rainbow's hoof with your own as you allow the smile to curl up further
>"That's the spirit!" Rainbow does a corkscrew spin around you to fly on your other side before bumping her side to you. "Stick with me, and just maybe I'll get you up to radical before Hearth's Warming"
>Great, something else you don't know about
"Dare I hope to be tubular?" You miss your fingers as you fail to make devil horns with your hoof
>You could try with your wings, but you don't feel like plummeting right now
>The two of you begin to laugh as you go back and forth with various uncool words for being cool
>Funky, spiffy, and groovy are thrown around amidst your laughter, among others
>"So, your disbelief aside, seriously what made you think it was a scam?"
>She's moved herself around to face you, now flying backward
>You're proud of how well you're able to fly, with how new you are, but her ability to just do that impresses and scares you
"Well," it's your turn to pause now as you come up blank for any real explanation.
>The stamp looked real enough, the calligraphy was fancy enough to come from royalty, as did the signature
Eventually, you simply shrug "Scams were pretty common where I'm from. If something's 'too good to be true' then most of the time I figure it simply isn't, you know?"
>Despite how simple it was your words seem to confuse Rainbow
>You're not sure why
>Distrusting others you don't know is just common sense
>Especially if they ask you to travel across country
>Right?
>"Did you... trust anyone where you're from?"
>The question hits you like a ton of bricks out of nowhere
>How do you begin to unpack that?
>Your old world aside, you need to keep up pony appearances
>Bringing up friends or family will make a trail you can't keep up
"Well... no, not really"
>You offer the answer half-heartedly
>Hoping she'll take it and leave it at that
>Instead, she stops
>Abruptly

>>42722834
>You almost collide your muzzle to her chest
>Luckily you stop just short
>But still close enough to unintentionally get a small whiff of her coat
>Petrichor
>That's the first thing you can associate with it
>It's a nice scent
>You shake your head to derail that train of thought as you turn your gaze to Rainbow
>Her wine coloured eyes are lidded
>But there's a pain in them
>Not pity
>It's like she was genuinely hurt on your behalf to hear those words
>"...that sounds lonely"
>Lonely
>You can't exactly say she's incorrect
>A lump forms in your throat before you can wave her off like you normally would
>She seems to take note of it and her eyes twinge with more pain for you
>Maybe you were lonely back home
>Maybe you've been lonely since you got here
>But who cares?
>It's not like it matters
"I'm used to it" You barely whisper the words, but she's close enough to here them clearly as you weave around her with a flap of your wings
>You want to kick yourself for your own words
>The usual energy from Rainbow has been drawn taut to an uneasy tension
>She clearly wants to say something
>But she doesn't know what
>Honestly, you're in the same boat
>You and your big mouth
>Normally you're good at keeping your thoughts to yourself
>But there's something about the mare that draws your words out of you as naturally as breathing
>Problems for later
>First you need to find out what the princess actually wants
>Soon enough your flight to Canterlot comes to an end
>You're still in awe at the mountain city
>It's hard to tell if it was carved out of the mountain itself, or constructed onto it
>Marble towers in the distance scrape the sky like the fingers of giants
>There are more ponies in one small area of the city than there are in the entire town of ponyville
>Your wandering eyes snap to attention as you see several armed and armored ponies flying directly at the two of you
>Before you can squeak out a very manly and not at all panicked yelp, Rainbow flies forward
>"Hey guys, me and my friend are here to see Celestia"
>You pause at her casual tone
>The guard ponies take only a second to look her over, and then scrutinize you for several seconds more before silently nodding and flying away again
>As they blend in with the crowds below you let out a sigh you didn't realize you were holding
"You know those guys?"
>She shakes her head. "Nah, but, hey, what's the point of being a national hero if the royal guard don't know who you are, am I right?"
"I wouldn't know, so I'll take your word for it" You give her a thankful smile for defusing the situation as you glide closer to the city
>A brief thought makes you wonder if it was the fact that you didn't use the train that drew the guards' attention
>Now that IS something you can probably ask Twilight without drawing suspicion
>With the same casual ease as every day before, you glide over the crowds below
>While what you've seen from Twilight is cool, you wouldn't trade your wings for ten horns

>>42722835
>Getting to avoid crowds and beeline to your destination
>The castle was imposing at a distance
>But now it looms larger than life
>And you're not even at its front gates yet
>Your ears twitch lightly as you hear mutters from the ground below
>With a peek, you notice some ponies pointing up at you and Rainbow
>You suspect it's Rainbow specifically though
>Like she said, she's the national hero out of the two of you
>What you said to her must have knocked her more than you expected though
>Despite the small crowd her presence seems to gather below, she barely notices
>A far cry from her usual bombast
>You had half expected her to swoop down to bump hooves and shake wings with them
>But nothing
>You nudge her with an elbow and she jolts suddenly "Wuh?"
You suppress your snickers and point downward. "I think you've got a fan club here too Rainbow Dash"
>"Huh?" She asks again before following the trail of your hoof. "Oh, that. Yeah, me and the others sometimes get a little crowded when we come here. They'll go back to normal after they've gotten an eyeful"
>A joke about an "eyeful" of Dash rolls its way onto your tongue invitingly, but you choose to bite it back
>Eventually you spot a small, but still noticeable in the architecture of the city
>Where once it was cramped, with buildings pressed side by side, now it's like the buildings breathe
>The gaps between buildings widens, and they seem to be cleaner
>Maybe you're entering the posh part of the city
>As you look down, you confirm your suspicions
>While you'd seen a few ponies in the earlier sections wearing light amounts of clothing, now it's everywhere
>The fashion is visually loud and pronounced, like each pony is demanding to be noticed
>Also unlike before, these ponies seem to either not notice, or not care about you and Rainbow Dash
>You'd be surprised if they don't notice you with how some of them hold their noses up
>Eventually you pass these ponies too and slowly approach the castle
>You follow Rainbow Dash's lead as she lands seamlessly into a small canter up to the entrance
>You pass by the guards at the gates, and the ones lining their way up the stairs
>It shocks you when the statues finally move as you reach the front doors
>The two guards straighten up and address you
>"Anonymous?"
>You're almost surprised they don't talk to Rainbow, but then remember that you're the one with the letter
"Yeah?"
>"Princess Celestia awaits you in the throne room. Proceed."
"Right..." You eye the two stoic guard briefly before taking the lead in front of Rainbow Dash
>The castle is just about what you'd expect from a castle
>Rooms big enough to fit a dragon
>Hallways long enough to race down them
>You almost challenge Rainbow
>Then you think twice
>You want to make a good first impression
>And you doubt she'd appreciate you two using her home as a race track
>"Hey Anon," Rainbow pulls you from your thoughts with a poke, "race you to that pillar?"

>>42722839
>Before you can argue your sound logic, she's away
"HEY!" You shout indignantly, rushing your wings out into a burst of speed after her, all previous though left behind
>You're not able to catch her rainbow trail
>But you'll be damned if you're completely left in her dust
>By the time you get to the pillar, she's already casually lounging against it
>Not one to be tricked laying down, you don't land
"First to that wall's a broken feather" You set your hooves on the pillar and grin down at her
>With your momentum from your initial flight still flowing through you, you launch off the pillar
>Now you not only have a headstart, but you never slowed down
>This time it's Rainbow shouting indignantly at you
>Even with your lead you feel the distinct feeling of a body against your tail
>Your heart goes into your throat as you near the wall and see Rainbow's hoof out of your peripheral
>Thinking quick, you pull up your hooves, plant them on the mare and push
>It's enough to secure your victory as your hoof touches the wall first
>And then your entire body as Rainbow crashes into you and flattens you against it
>"You cheated!" She shouts
"You cheated first! You didn't even give me a 3, 2, 1, go!" You retort
>"Fine! 321GO!"
>You let out an exasperated groan at the prismatic blur that zips away
>With a beat of your wings, you get on her trail
>The one benefit of chasing Rainbow is that, even if you lose track of her around a corner, there's always the lingering rainbow behind her
>You don't know how many halls, rooms and ponies you pass
>Some part of your mind tries to pipe up about something, but you silence it
>Eventually you reach a part of the castle where some halls connect together like a sort of maze
>With a quick shift, you're able to cut Rainbow off as she loops around
>Now that you're on more even ground the two of you grin as you begin firing off meaningless goals
>First to a pillar
>First to a door
>First up the flight of stairs
>First down the different flight of stairs
>First to a stain glass window with the six girls on and some strange bug, horse, dragon thing
>Where previously there was serene calm and silence in the castle, now there’s the echoes of you and Rainbow’s laughter and the beating of your wings
>The two of you are like pinballs in a machine as you blur back and forth through the castle
>You're not sure how many levels there are to it, but with how many staircases you've been up and down, you're lost, so it doesn't matter
>It takes a while, but eventually even Rainbow tires as she lands
>You're happy to join her
>Thankful to get some air into your burning lungs
>Now you just need some water
>"So, I definitely have more points right?"
>You pant
>You're not letting her off that easy
"We didn't have a system, I got more stained glass windows, but you got more doors."
>She pauses briefly and her muzzle scrunches

>>42722841
>"Fine." She looks around for something, then her eyes focus on something above that she points to. "I bet you can't get closer to the chandelier in one wing beat with your eyes closed than me"
>The chandelier looks like it's worth more than your house
>A gold frame lined with rows and rows of flawless crystals and pearls
>You let out a low whistle as you take it in
>On one hoof, you don't want to touch something so expensive in case you break it
>On the other hoof, you notice it's held up by chains, so even if you do bump into it, you doubt it'll fall
>On the third hoof, you don't like Rainbow's smug grin
>It mocks you
>On the fourth hoof, you want to win
"You're on."
>You hold out a hoof that she bumps
>Taking on last glance at the chandelier she braces her wings and spreads out her legs
>She stretches up then down, up then down, again and again before pausing
>Taking a deep breath, she lowers herself, then launches up
>She's quick on launch, as usual, then quickly slows
>Too quickly
>She's way below the chandelier
>When she lands, she gives you an assured grin, which falls at the sight of your smug smirk
"Way off"
>"Like hay I was!" She debates, getting near muzzle to muzzle with you
>It's an odd habit of hers you've noticed
>She always gets close when she argues
>You're not sure if she does it on purpose or not
>While it caused you to step back the first few times, you've gotten used to standing your ground
"Please, you barely got close, you must have been six feet away"
>Her hoof jabs you in the chest "Well if you're so great, go ahead"
"With pleasure" You lean forward as you speak, causing her to lean away and go on the back hoof
>Stepping around her, you stand beneath the chandelier
>Unlike her, you've had more time to look at the distance between the floor and the chandelier
>And you've got a pretty solid idea of how strong you need to beat your wings to not crash into it
>Similar to Dash, you take a steadying breath
>With one last look at her, you smirk, wink and silently mouth "watch and learn"
>You don't see her reaction as you close your eyes, and beat your wings
>Hard
>Rainbow underestimated how high the chandelier was
>She also overestimated how high her wings could take her with only one flap while not in motion
>You do neither
>You rise rapidly towards the ceiling
>A second passes
>Then another
>Then you begin to slow down
>You don't feel the chandelier
>But you hear it
>Its crystals and pearls jingle
>The chains groan as it swings
>Yet its untouched by you
>With your wings spread, you glide down to the floor
>As your hooves meet polished marble, you open your eyes
>Your smug grin gets wider as Rainbow stands slack-jawed
>Realizing you've noticed, her mouth clicks shut
>"Th-that was just a practice round"
"Bullshit!" You point a hoof accusingly, a lightness in your grin. "I won. Admit it."
>"No way!" She says, in your face again. "I don't lose! I demand a rematch!"
>It takes you a brief second to click the contradiction

>>42722847
"Well do you not lose or do you want a rematch?"
>She realizes her own faux pas and stutters briefly. "Y-you- you didn't measure my flight properly, you were watching from the ground."
"So were you!"
>"Exactly!" She argues, as if she'd just won. "Neither of us measured properly, so we need to go again"
>You groan, but know you're not going to convince her
"Fine!" You bark, taking off into the air
>Hovering near the chandelier, you motion your hooves to it
"After you" You invite
>She nods and prepares herself to fly up again
>This time taking far more time to flex and check her path
>After a few minutes of waiting you groan and pull your hooves down your face
"Would you hurry up, you old mare?"
>Her head snaps up to you, offended shock on her face quickly shifting to anger
>"What did you just call me!?"
"I said your mother's probably faster than you" You reply, drinking in her quickly reddening face
>"I'll show you old" You just barely hear her murmur to herself as she braces
>With a wing beat that sends a breeze through the hall and over you, she lifts into the air
>Your eyes widen as you worry that you'll need to catch her from colliding with the chandelier
>Then you glare at how she starts to slow and gets a hair's breadth from it
>Then you notice her get closer
>Her mane depresses as she touches the chandelier
>She lands in a triumphant pose and points up at you
>"HA! Beat that!"
"Disqualified." You say with a grin. "You touched the chandelier"
>"I did not!" She argues
"Your mane touched it"
>"That doesn't count"
"Oh please, if my mane touched it, you'd argue it was a foul"
>"Would not"
"Would too"
>You too literally butt heads as you push back and forth before separating
>"Look, it's your turn, so just concede I won, and we can go see prin-"
"No way!" You brace your legs as you span out your wings
>"Uh, Anon?"
>Then you flap, hard
>Too hard
>"ANON!"
>Too late
>You've made a mistake
>You can almost see it in your mind's eye as the world slows down around you
>Rainbow's still at the ground so she can't catch you
>You're going to collide too fast into the chandelier
>The strings of expensive crystals and pearls will entangle you if they don't snap under your weight
>While you're ensnared the chandelier will swing and jangle like a shrieking alarm
>If you're lucky, your humiliation will end there
>If not, you'll draw a crowd to see you twisted like a marionette in strings
>Then the worst case scenario, the old chains snap and you fall, encased in the chandelier
>It won't matter what the princess wants then
>You'll have a one-way ticket to the dungeons
>You can't believe you let yourself get caught up in these hijinks with Rainbow
>Then again, it did distract you from your worries about meeting Celestia
>And honestly you haven't had this much fun in ages
>That last thought is comforting as you begin to feel your body collide with the chandelier
>Then, you stop
>Frozen in place
>Like physics decided to take pity on you

>>42722850
>You cautiously crack open an eye and look around
"Rainbow?" You call out, confused
>"Yeah?" She responds
"Am I dead?" You ask, perplexed as you look around, a deep blue aura in your peripherals
>"No, but we might be about to be" She tails off. "Hi, Princess Luna"
>Your head snaps down to see the tired, blinking eyes of the night princess staring up at you, her horn aglow in the same aura that surrounds
>"The hour is far too early for thine revelry, you two." She croaks out, tiredly, as she looks like she literally just got out of bed
"Um, sorry, Princess Luna. Am I going to the dungeon?" You decide to rip off the bandage now
>This pulls a snicker from the dream princess' nose, followed by a yawn
>"Highly do we doubt this. Ever and anon would sister and I make trouble through the halls of our home in days of yore, millenia past. To err, would say Starswirl, is pony. T'would be most unlike our sister to find issue in thine... antics. Especially as nopony was hurt."
>Slowly she lowers you down, then releases you from her magic hold
>As the aura leaves you, you ruffle out feathers and stretch slightly
"Oh, good, good. We-" You look at Rainbow, who seems equally as worried as you, but at the same time amused by the situation. "We'll… uh- we’ll get out of your mane and go see Celestia"
>"Yeah, sorry for waking you, Luna" Dash says, a bit more casual than you
"In truth, I am here to collect you two." She says, stretching away her sleep
>You and Dash share a confused look before turning back to Luna
>She beckons you to follow with a wave of her head down the hall as she begins to walk while the two of you fall in line
>"How long do you two believe you have been away?"
>You and Rainbow share another, more concerned look
>You definitely hadn't been keeping track of how long you'd been racing
>But you were very aware of how much stamina you both had
>And you'd been flying enough to get tired
>"Our sister and I have been awaiting your arrival for some time. Initially did we send our guards to collect you"
>She nods to some guards who, as you've seen, usually unshakingly stare ahead, now dart their eyes to the two of you as you pass
>"They reported back your flights of fancy through the castle"
>"That's my fault!" Rainbow fesses. "I had this stupid idea of-"
>Rainbow is cut off by a low chuckle from Luna
>"We are not angry, young Rainbow Dash, we are impressed at how easily you outflew the guard. Fast enough for them to lose track of you, even on their... what is the common parlance? Home turf?"
>While you stay quiet, you do see Rainbow puff her chest out with no small amount of pride
>"Still, we imagine our sister might have some words with you about today"
>This drains some of the pride from Rainbow
>But not all of it
>She shoots you a sideways glance and winks at you
>You suppress the urge to laugh but your smile matches hers
>Despite your nervousness about the situation, it did admittedly feel good to hear Luna's words

wicked update sunn

>>42723176
Nice... huh, thinking about it, I don't think we've ever actually had any Trixie content before.

>>42723176
Where is Trixie's great and powerful horn?

So I have an update to my green but forgot my password to ponepaste
Like an idiot.

And the forgot password link doesn’t work.

So maybe expect an update later today but on a different account.

>>42723265
god damnit I forgot

>>42722867
Early thread slam dunk. I'm so invested in this.

>>42722867
Kino, I love that Anon and Dash are getting invested in making so many races that they soon forgot about time and what they're supposed to do but thankfully that's for the next update which I'll be excited for!

>>42722786
I admire Anonstallion Thread quite a bit, happy to see it doing well. The whole stallion thing does seem more well adjusted than the mare thing, but it's too late to abandon my wife now, I can only hope she does as well as you guys.

Heres some prince/king anon ideas I had
>Anon has a secret 'grand plan', a series of outcomes, plans and scenarios to defer to in case of x or y with the primary goal being to ensure cadence and discord aren't lonely in the long run.
>He did use the mirror pool trying to establish a secret agency but since the mirror can't duplicate alicorns directly it can only duplicate the pony the moment prior to them becoming an alicorn, in twilight's case this would copy her as a unicorn, in anon's case it'd spawn a colt
>He's contemplated duplicating himself in an act of self-kindness, giving the younger copy a chance at a normal pony life
>S.M.I.L.E didn't get disbanded, under Anon it became the pony equivalent of the men in black, the organisation became his check if shits fucked detector, he feeds them cryptic to outright prophetic instructions at times like ensure sugar cube corner has no basement, provide time-loop survival guides to every library in equestria or check if bushwoolies have to agree with everything you say

>>42723865
big fan of that last one actually. i really like the idea of SMILE agents getting really specific oddly mundane tasks that they all know better than to question because the orders come straight from His Majesty. i’m imagining Lyra finding out about Bon Bon’s secret identity going in a completely different direction

>>42723176
Cute! I think Trixie would be a great and powerful mom to Anon colt.

>>42724176
>>42724176
>For the past week BonBon had been getting up at odd hours to leave the house
>Quietly slipping out of bed when she thought Lyra was sleeping and cantering off into the night
>She trusted her marefriend more than anypony, the mere suggestion she was sneaking off to see somepony else was unthinkable but it was there, why else would she crawl out of their bed and into the night?
>So when she grabbed her tail one night and pleaded for her to talk to her the last thing the unicorn expected was for BonBon to confess she was a spy
>And that her name used to be sweetie drops before she changed it to avoid scrutiny from other 'reserve agents'
>Better than cheating she supposed
>A quick explanation, no specific details that wasn't allowed, but letting loved ones know what you did was allowed by the king to "avoid mistrust and paranoia from one's partners should your work ever begin to interfere" she'd quoted, apparently having heard it right from the pony's mouth once
>Lyra of course asked what she was doing, BonBon bit her lip and repeated she couldn't share details but caved under the golden glare from the mare
>"so.. only one group works around the clock in S.M.I.L.E the 'code greens' but no pony ever sees those" she started, putting an oddly particular emphasis was placed on 'ever'
>"Most agents are 'reservists' we live pretty normally once our trainings done, we're all over Equestria until we get our orders in the post or dropped off"
>"The king gives orders to the director and then she sends us our objectives. Sometimes its directly relayed to an agent other times its agency wide... the past few days I've been following orders sent specifically to me, by name, from the director."
>Lyra's eyes widened, if the orders were direct from the director then the king himself was asking bonbon to do something, no wonder she'd been getting up late, no pony would ever refuse his majesty!
>"So going out into the middle of the night... what are you looking for?" Lyra pressed
>BonBon shifted not uneasily moreso like she was struggling to even answer
>"I don't really know, the orders... half the time they're really vague 'go there, check this, watch them' its really rare you ever get explicit instructions WITH a reason. The king wants me to 'check the edges of the sweet apple orchard for unusual abandoned buildings then report back' and 'check for the presence of a basement in the establishment known as sugar-cube corner then monitor pinkamena diane pie for an extended period then report back your findings'"
>She shrugged, "I have no clue what he wants me to find if anything, the kind isn't... paranoid, sometimes we find stuff but this week... nothing. some of the other agents says the king can see the future or like, possible futures, and that's why so many of our orders are so weird."

Can you explain why?

>>42724367
Don't bother asking, he's one of the current board schizos. This one has an obsessive hatred of anything human or anon-related interacting with ponies.

>>42724367
Don't worry about it. If they wanted to give you some feedback they would have done so instead of just saying 'bad'. I've been seeing the shitting on Anonstallion greens and it's really not warranted. Focus on the anons who appreciate what you write.

>>42722867
thank you for the new update it is wonderful. I look forward to more

>>42724352
I like how Anon is conscious of Cupcake for him to get SMILE to check in hopes it's not actually canon lol

Ouch. This stings.

Previously on The Sun in Your Eyes: https://ponepaste.org/11210

>”Pri- ! Uh, S-Sunny!”
>A familiar, somewhat regal voice slices through the lovely moment you were sharing with your new friend.
>The two of you slow your pace on the swings to fully see who made a surprise appearance: Twilight Sparkle.
>Equestria’s latest and greatest princess.
>She’s standing frozen in place, looking at Sunny like she’s a polar bear in the jungle.
>You look over at Sunny, and Sunny looks… faintly guilty.
>Like she was just caught with her hoof in the cookie jar.
>There must be one heck of a story behind these two.
>A tense silence separates the two, surely one strengthened by whatever history Sunny has with the young princess.
>The moment ends when Sunny awkwardly clears her throat and forces a pleasant smile onto her pretty face.
>”Ah… hello, Twilight. Er, Princess Twilight, rather.” Sunny greets Twilight, clumsily recovering with the formal title that she’s earned.
>Silence returns to separate the two mares as neither of them seem like they know what to say to each other.
>Should you say something?
>...No, probably not.
>Definitely not.
>Third-wheeling through whatever confrontation this is definitely isn’t going to help either of them.
>All you can hear is the blood rushing through your ears, and the faint sound of the swing set creaking faintly.
>So you just sit there, on the swing set.
>Keeping your head lowered, trying to not make this any more awkward.
>”It’s… a real surprise to see you here!” Twilight said to Sunny, in that nervously upbeat tone that’s almost exclusive to her.
>”Y-Yes, indeed! It’s very much a surprise to see you here, as well!” Sunny hastily agreed.
>”In that, I would imagine that you’d be dreadfully busy overseeing the festivities to spare more than a moment to chit-chat.” Sunny then clarified, knowing that it can’t have been unexpected to run into Twilight Sparkle in her home town.
>”Hehe, yeah, well, Spike’s been managing a lot of the events. It’s, uh, given me a bit of time to just enjoy things.” Twilight responded a little sheepishly.
>Twilight’s eyes flit over to you before quickly returning to Sunny.
>”...Who’s your friend?” Twilight asks Sunny, referring to you.
>The word “friend” makes your heart sting.
>You could be making progress to becoming more than friends with Sunny.
>You were making progress, until Twilight showed up.
>Sunny looks over at you, with an emotion you can’t quite decipher in her eyes, then looks back at Twilight with a smile.
>”Oh, this is Anonymous!” Sunny happily says to Twilight.
>”Anonymous, you’ve likely heard of Twilight Sparkle!” Sunny then introduces you to her.

>>42725710
>Whatever awkwardness you felt before is intensified tenfold when your eyes meet Twilight’s.
>Never before have you had to suffer through the uneasiness of meeting a mutual friend before now.
>That would require socializing with more than one pony at a time.
>Something unprecedented for you.
>Especially when you’re introduced to a princess.
>Shoot, what do you say to her?
>Do you bow, or something?
>You want to glance over at Sunny to silently ask for some way to proceed, but your neck stiffens on its own.
>You shouldn’t just retreat to Sunny to ask for help whenever you need it, you should be able to introduce yourself to someone new.
>Sunny already believes in you, maybe you just need to believe in you.
>So you return your focus to Twilight.
“It- it’s a pleasure to meet you, your majesty.” You formally greet the young princess.
>Twilight giggles sheepishly and offers a dismissive wave of her wing.
>”You don’t have to be so formal with me, Anonymous. You can just call me Twilight, if you’d like.” Twilight offers to you.
>Just hearing that makes the tension melt off your body like ice cubes on a stove.
>You involuntarily let out a shakily exhale shaped like a laugh, feeling silly for how much pressure you were putting on yourself just for introducing yourself.
>Past her title, Twilight is still a pony, just like you.
“Okay, uh, Twilight. It’s… nice to meet you!” You re-greet the alicorn.
>The informal way you addressed her feels more natural, like you’re actually making a friend, rather than meeting a celebrity or royalty.
>”It’s very nice to meet you, too!” Twilight smiles at you.
“So, how do you two know each other?” You ask Twilight, referring to her and Sunny.
>Twilight and Sunny both freeze up a little, doing that thing where they look at each other uneasily.
>Did you overstep a boundary of some kind?
>Maybe it’s none of your business, poking your snout into personal matters.
>You gulp, regret growing within you.
“...I-I’m sorry if I-”
>”No, no! It’s quite alright, Anonymous!” Sunny quickly reassures you.
>”Truthfully, we’ve known each other for quite a long time. We, ah…”
>Sunny pauses for a moment to find the right words.
>”...We frequently shared classrooms, back in Canterlot!”
>Why phrase it like that?
>Why not just say “We went to school together”?
>You shouldn’t pry, it’s their business.
“Ooh, that sounds cool! Getting taught by Princess Celestia’s gotta be really something, I bet!” You say to her.
>Twilight makes a strange sound that’s somewhere between a gag and a hiccup, making you and Sunny jump a little.
>When you look over at her, Twilight hastily recovers from whatever she just experienced.
>”Uh… w-well… we didn’t actually, know each other that well. I wasn’t really… uh…” Twilight trailed off.

>>42725712
>”Twilight was far more interested in the worlds of her books than the world around her.” Sunny wryly remarked, making Twilight react like she was just struck by lightning.
>She opens her mouth to exclaim something, but the words get caught in her throat, becoming vocalized as something that only resembles the name “Sunny!”.
>Sunny just giggles at the young princesses’ reaction.
>She’s rather bold, poking at a princesses’ soft spot like that.
>You sure couldn’t see yourself doing anything like that.
>”But I only tease with good intentions. Twilight’s come a long way since I knew her as only a student. Beyond just ascending to royalty, she’s grown in so many ways, and made so many wonderful friends, that now, whenever I see her, I feel nothing but pride in the mare she’s become.” Sunny goes on to compliment her, her teasing tone having been replaced by a much more genuine, heartfelt one.
>Twilight smiles wide and wipes away a tear welling up in her eye with her wing.
>”Thank you, S-Sunny. That really means a lot.” She graciously says to your friend.
>Then Twilight glances over at you, and reacts like she just remembered something.
>”That’s a lovely plush you have there!” She compliments you and your new companion.
>You glance back over at the phoenix plush seated on the swing set next to you.
“Oh, thank you.” You chuckle, a little sheepishly.
“Sunny won it for me at one of the fair games. You should’ve seen her knock down those cans, she’s got a cannon for a foreleg!”
>Twilight turns back to Sunny, leering at her a little.
>”Is that so?”
>Sunny shrugs with a faintly mischievous smile.
>”I played the game as was intended by the host. If his facilities weren’t up to standard for contestants such as I, then that’s his own fault.” Sunny replied.
>Twilight sputtered a little bit before she quickly collected herself.
>Something about Sunny has Twilight acting funny.
>Like there’s a lot she wants to say, but she can’t bring herself to say it.
>But why?
>You wouldn’t expect Twilight Sparkle, newly crowned Princess of Friendship, to have to bite her tongue around one of her old school friends.
>This is all getting really weird.
>Sunny has some secrets, this you’re almost sure of.
>”A-Anyway, I was actually going around making sure all the couples got their raffle tickets.” Twilight explains to you.
>Your heart flutters again when the young princess refers to you and Sunny as a couple.
>Your cheeks heat up at the accusation, instinctively casting your gaze down.
>”A- a couple?” Sunny asks Twilight, with a voice you can’t really decipher.
>Was she flustered too?
>Flustered good, or flustered bad?
>Twilight awkwardly chuckles.
>”Couples don’t have to be romantic, you know? Like… a *couple* of friends!” She recovered.
>There it is, a *couple* of friends.

>>42725713
>You force your eyes back up to Twilight, who’s offering you and Sunny two identical raffle tickets with her magic.
>You carefully take one of the tickets, and Sunny takes the other.
>Both have the same numbers written on them: 4 8 15 16 23 42.
“So what do we win if our number’s pulled?” You ask Twilight.
>”Well, at the end of the festival, just before Princess Celestia lowers the sun, the winning couple will win a… uh… solo dance… serenaded by the live band…”
>...Today’s just full of exciting new emotions, isn’t it?
>You can’t bring yourself to look at Sunny, you can barely handle your own emotions right now.
>”Uh… eheh…” Twilight nervously chuckles.
“...Sounds like a real prize for a *couple* of friends.” You say to Twilight with a weak laugh of your own.
>”I- I mean, the band’s REALLY good! They don’t have to play a romantic song or anything! They could play, like, a rock song, or something!” Twilight hastily tries to assure you and Sunny.
>That just seems even more awkward.
>Just you and Sunny, jamming out alone in the middle of a group of the townsfolk?
>That’d just make you feel like you two are being weird.
>You look back down at the raffle ticket.
>Your gaze lingers on the numbers written on it.
>...You probably won’t win, anyway,
>You might as well hang onto it.
>You don’t want to hurt Sunny’s feelings, either.
>If you saw Sunny reject the ticket after learning the prize is a dance with you, you wouldn’t be able to recover from that.
>Or even leave your house.
>How is Sunny doing, anyway?
>It’s been a minute since you last looked at her.
>You finally get your head to turn toward Sunny, where you find her holding the ticket very carefully.
>Almost cradling the sliver of paper in her hooves.
>Her eyes are so filled with emotions, you can’t get a read on what she’s feeling.
>All you can see in her eyes is a mixture of hope and dread.
>The sight makes your mouth dry up.
>You want to go help her, but how?
>Twilight awkwardly shuffles her hooves and steps back.
>”Uh…”

>>42725713
>”Wait!” Sunny calls out to her, before Twilight could even suggest leaving.
>Twilight halts and looks at Sunny with great concern.
>”Is something wrong?”
>”No, I… I don’t know… can we talk? Privately?”
>Sunny looks over at you apologetically, making your stomach sink.
>But what else can you do, but nod to let her know you’re okay with her having her private talk with the young princess.
>Sunny’s smile warms up a little as she gets off the swing set.
>”Don’t worry about me, it’ll only be a moment.” She promises you.
>The two mares go talk somewhere private, leaving you alone swinging gently on the swingset.
>Brings back some memories of your school days.
>Lonely memories.
>The sounds of the fun festival behind you fade out of your mind as your head droops down.
>You idly kick some dirt on the ground beneath you, but you can’t stop thinking about Sunny.
>You think about what Sunny could be talking about with Twilight.
>You think about your time spent so far with Sunny.
>You think about the sound of Sunny’s laugh.
>You think about how her smile shines in the sunlight.
>You think about how special Sunny made you feel.
>You pore over everything you’ve said and done to and with her.
>That photo was such a bad idea, in retrospect.
>It’ll just remind her of the friend she made that she’ll rarely get to spend time with.
>A feeling you’re quickly growing familiar with.
>At least you have your phoenix plush.
>You can cuddle the plush on lonely nights and…
>...pretend it’s her.
>Maybe you’ll keep the raffle ticket, too.
>You’ll keep it on a shelf, right next to the photo.
>You’ll look at it every day, wondering what could have been if you had won that dance with her.
>It’ll hurt.
>It’ll always hurt.
>But it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, right?
>You came to this festival to make memories.
>You should’ve expected they wouldn’t all be good memories.

The first Anon to find the easter egg I hid in this update gets a gold star

>>42725724
Awesome as usual! Wonder how Celestia will raise down the sun while keeping up the disguise as Sunny with Anon presuming the raffle ticket is the winner! Is the easter egg the raffle ticket number or just a reference?

>>42725724
Funny, this updated right as I finished what was on ponepaste.
Anyway I'm really enjoying this, thanks for the update, cosmic!

I'm not sure if she'd be a great or a terrible mother. It's either or, I reckon.

>>42725724
top cute as ever, butthole, glad to have you back

>>42725193
in my mind Anon wasn't a super fan but read and watched anything & everything that was either popular or appealed to him. He'd have SMILE hunt down even the possibility that this creepypasta or that infection Au might be something he has to stop or destroy before it can hurt anypony even if it has smile agents going on wild goose chases

>>42726047
She'd either fail miserably, not being able to provide for her colt's needs and giving him some complex or another or she'd end up excelling conversely, priding herself on being the great and maternal trixie. I can see her including him in the magic shows as an assistant, teaching tricks and maybe even learning more about magic herself purely to provide better

>>42725727
I'm completely Lost at what it might be. Are we timed on this? Cause I just finished catching up so I'd need at least 108 minutes.

>>42725727
Raffle numbers are the numbers from Lost.
Thank you, Impossible Quiz

>>42725724
Can't wait to see Anon and Sunny fall in love and how shocked Anon will be after discovering her true identity

If i was anonstallion I'd say my full name is anonymous tip and my cutie mark means I'm good at mysteries and/or questions

not sure how to feel about this trope.

>>42728723

Maybe not fully tame her, but now she has someone to foil Twilight's plans with, sort of like a recurring villain trope where they're trying to find ways to undermine Twilight.

>"You could've had it all, Anonymous."
>Twilight shakes her head and sighs with an exaggerated tone.
>"Riches, royal luxuries, a loving queen, and more foals than you could count."
>She grabs you by the neck with her magic and hoists you into the air.
>You gasp for breath and struggle to escape, but Twilight's magic is far too powerful.
>"Instead, you chose an early grave." She sneers.
>"A-Anon?!" Derpy squeaks. "What's going on?! Why is the princess angry?!"
>Twilight glares at Derpy and grabs her in a separate blob of magic.
>"Perhaps there's enough time for one final experiment before your execution."
>Her eyes and horn glow a bright green hue.
>Something tells you this is going to hurt. A LOT.
>It's time to spring into action with some last-second heroics and-
"AAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!"
>You scream like a weenie and twist yourself free from Twilight's magic.
>Thankfully you manage to shove Derpy out of harm's way with seconds to spare.
>*ZAP*
>You hurtle to the ground face-first with a crippled wing.
>Derpy yelps as her big bubble butt makes contact with the hard stone flooring.
>The floor next to you melts into a pool of what appears to be magical...acid?
>Oh no, that can only mean one thing...
"Ch-Changeling magic?!" You sputter. "How did you learn changeling magic?!"
>Twilight chuckles like a serial killer and re-aims her horn.
>"Let's just say our diplomatic relations with the changeling kingdom...went up in smoke."
>Her lip curls as she prepares to fire another blast of green magic.
>"Fear not, for the late queen's magic shall not go to waste."
>The pain from your broken wing says there's no chance in tartarus that you'll be able to dodge this attack.
>Derpy whimpers beside you, seemingly aware of your impending doom.
>You hold the frightened mare close and nuzzle her one last time.
"No matter what happens Derpy, I want you to know something."
>"W-What's that, Anon?" She asks.
"I love you, with all my heart."

>>42729951
>"Oh Anooooooooon~!"
>You lean down and smooch Derpy with a passion you've never felt before.
>Maybe it's because you're about to die, but there's no use worrying about that now.
>Derpy immediately reciprocates your affections as usual, not that you're complaining.
>This mare sure knows how to make a stallion feel loved.
>"ACK!"
>Twilight audibly gags at your passionate display and tries to focus on her spell.
>"If you two would please stop sucking face, then maybe we could get on with this execution!" She shouts.
>Suddenly the two of you are consumed by a radiant pink hue.
"Mmph?!"
>It's hard to properly express your surprise with Derpy's tongue in your mouth.
>Twilight fires her death beam right at your face.
>Figures.
>You close your eyes and prepare for the sweet embrace of death.
>Perhaps you and Derpy can get married in the next life-
>*BWOOP*
>Hmm, that's a strange sound to hear when one is dead.
>You slowly open your eyes and gasp.
>Then Derpy gasps.
>Then Twilight gasps.
>Then the guards gasp.
>Then the nearby prisoners gasp through conveniently-placed holes in their cell walls.
>This is like something out of an anime you liked to watch.
>The one with the guys that liked to shout at each other and power up for half the damn episode.
>There stands Princess Cadence, her head freed from Twilight's magical muzzle.
>"Clever filly."
>Twilight quickly regains her composure and slowly clops her forehooves together.
>"Using my own magic to neutralize itself was an ingenious strategy."
>Her horn lights up with an even greater charge of bring green magic.
>"Let's see if you can do that AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!"
>Cadence steadies her shaking body and emits a massive shock wave of magic.

>>42729953
>The entire room around you seems to slow with every passing second until freezing in place completely.
>Even Twilight doesn't budge an inch from her place in the strange pink bubble of magic.
>Unfortunately she still had time to fire one last blast, which is now hovering inches from your stupid face.
>Cadence collapses to the ground and gasps for air.
"Princess!" You yell.
>"Princess!" Derpy yells.
>You both rush to Cadence's side and try helping the battered alicorn to her hooves.
>"Forget about me!"
>She shoves you away and lights up her horn.
>"My immobilization spell won't hold *cough* for much l-longer!"
>You look around and see the bubble is already beginning to thin.
>Twilight and her guards slowly twitch their faces and limbs, eager to free themselves from the bubbly prison.
>You exchange panicked glances with Derpy.
"W-What do we do now, your highness?" You nervously ask.
>Derpy clings to you for dear life as though she might lose you again.
"P-Please Princess!" Derpy pleads. "Help us get away from Queen Twilight!"
>Cadence nods and inhales the pink aura from you and Derpy.
>"This is just enough *ugh* love for one final *cough* spell." She groans.
>The two of you watch in awe as Cadence tears throough the fabric of reality to summon a small portal.
>You see a sunny meadow glistnening on the other side.
>"Now go, my little ponies."
>You hesitate, knowing damn well that leaving her behind is NOT an option.
>She's already done so much for you and Derpy.
"Princess, please come with-OOF!"
>With the last of her strength, Princess Cadence shoves you through the portal.
>Derpy comes tumbling right after you and lands in the soft green grass.
>"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
>Twilight screams and fires a magical sunburst directly at the portal, but Cadence blocks the portal with her own body.
>"May the power of...l-love guide you...always..."
>Cadence's bloodied face manages one last smile before she seals the portal.
>Silence falls upon the sunny meadow like a heavy blanket.
>You sit there in shocked silence, desperately trying to understand what the buck just happened.
>Derpy scrambles to your side and whimpers.
>"Is..I-Is Cadey going to be okay?" She asks.
>You wrap your hooves around the trembling mare and nuzzle her neck.
>If only there was a definitive answer to that question.
"I-I'm sure she'll be fine."

P.I. Anonstallion when?
>The girls stand around the motionless body of Pinkie Pie, stunned to tears
>"Why would anypony do this?" Twilight asks
"The question isn't "why" Miss Sparkle," a new voice chimes in
>The new earth pony detective to their town, clad in his trademark trenchcoat and fedora, a tie loosely hanging from his neck, all commissioned by Rarity
>A strange amulet around his neck obscuring his identity, making him appear faceless
"The question, is why" He finishes
>"That's... what I said-"
"She's not dead." The ddetective remarks, poking the pink mare, making him suirm for the first time in hours as she groans in pain, rolling over, clutching her stomach
"Miss Pie is one of the few here like me, insatiable for answers, and pie. Yesterday's question was "how many cans of whipped cream can she get through?" the answer was twenty"
>"Darling, how could you possibly-?"
>Questianon opens his coat in a dramatic flourish, twenty metal cans of whipped cream clanging to the ground around him
>It takes an uncomfortable amount of seconds for the silence to return
"These were in the Cakes' trashcan"
>"You went through the Cakes' trash yesterday?" Rainbow inquisits
"No, Dash. That would be silly. I went through everyone's trash."

"Word to the wise, most stallions don't look like that"

"Now, my work here is done."

>>Meanwhile, Anon chases a raccoon down an alley
I'm now imagining P.I. Anon accosts a bunch of animals, so Fluttershy hears a lot of what Anon is getting up to from secondhand accounts.
It ends up turning into her own secret indulgence, where she has animals subtly follow Anon and tell her what he's been up to like one of those old dramatic radio shows.
>Ironically, her constant surveillance has been noted by the paranoid stallion
>Anon is convinced he has a secret mastermind plotting his downfall and works tirelessly to figure out who they are and their endgame
>Fluttershy is encapsulated by the overarching plot
>Fluttershy is accidentally the main villain of her favorite set of stories and genuinely doesn't even realize it.

>One lone candle, one thin smatter of moonlight, one stallion hunched over a desk of files, photos and papers.
>Each page, note and picture alike were all part of the hooful of cases yet to be closed, some just opened.
>P.I. (pony investigator) Anonymous Tip didn't get much work, the occasional missing pony, cheating husband or theft that somepony wanted figured out all hush-hush without involving the ponice but beyond that, nothing.
>But the bits had to flow regardless so that's why he turned some of his cases, the juicer ones, into short stories for the papers
>It didn't pay great, but it paid enough, the canterlot types ate it up
>That's where she came in
>A purple burst of colour at odds with the grey-on-grey of the room
>"I've read your stories" she said. "And I've heard about the work you do for ponies who need it. You're good." She complimented.
>He looked up from under the brim of his hat, green meeting purple, opposites regarding one another with that curious tension
>He'd take the case, whatever it was, he needed the work. and he was a sucker for the pretty ones.
>Another burst of colour as she levitated a pre-made binder onto the desk dropping it with a thump.
>"I'd like you to investigate her please. I.... I want to know why." She stopped short of a full description but she'd said enough.
>Bright eyes, pretty mane, a smile that screamed warmth even in the photo but he'd seen that smile before, given it himself.
>It was fake, like the painted grin they put on dolls.

Oh my... At least Anon and Derpy have escaped for now but they'll need to find a solution as Twilight isn't going to get them away so easily

As long as Anon is the funny type of batshit insane rather than the dangerous one, it can work out.

>>42734305
This isn't Anonpony at all, but it's cute so whatever.

>>42735623
Is there any truth to this?

>>42736102
I dunno, but one drop would kill a human. That's like smoking a thousand cigs in an instant.
One drop of caffiene would do it too. Pure chemicals are like that.

>>42736104
To be fair, that works with almost everything. You can even kill yourself with too much oxygen.

If I were to write a story about Anon stallion entering Equestria, when suddenly he meets Anon mare, where should I post it? Here? Anonymous in Equestria? Anon Mare General?

/ptg/ fucking sucks ass don't even bother

Could always post it in both Anonstallion and Anonmare since it includes both characters

Anonstallion Thread has lots of good writers and artists, but Anonmare Thread is still in its infancy, wobbling on its little mare legs. For that reason I'd ask for your support - I'm the only writer there right now and I haven't had time to continue my green with everything going on. Our thread has anons who came over from the anonpony family thread so I think anonstallion - anonmare interactions fit with what we're going for. We also want to get away from ptfg

However, if Anonstallion is gonna be your main character, it would obviously belong more here, troll-kun's objections aside. And I should probably check with the anonmare bros before inviting you over...

>The smell of wet dirt and mud

>The sun, warming your coat ever so slightly
>Could this be?
>The promised land?
>You've only read this story, how many times?
>A loser like you gets stuck in a brightly colored country with talking horses

>As well as several oak trees, making space for an opening in the forest
>Something ran by, and you barely catched it in the corner of your eye
>Must've been a squirrel
>Looking around, your suspicions finaly come true
>Dark gray tail
>Green coat
>A question mark, imprinted in your butt
>You try to get up, on your hind legs, like a human would
>A hooman
>Hugh Man, even
>You land face first into the grass
>Tastes good!
>You use your hooves to get up from the ground
>Funky, if these ponies can make it, surely you too
>You try your best to get up, and stay up in all fours
>Clumsily, you spot a river
>Like a kid with cerebral palsy, you make way as slow and steady as you can
>That is when you finally see your very own reflection in the mirror
>Your eyes are remarkably green
>Oh yeah

>And just like Narcissus, you fall head first

>3 hvs, is that how you'd abreviate it?
>At the very least the water tastes good
>Lets hope they dont have any sort of brain eating bacteria in here
>You spot a big rock underwater, and attempt to stand on it
>Success
>Your head pokes out of the water
>But not without blowing water like a water hose
>It seems cartoon logic is already taking its effects on you
>All of a sudden, your ears pick up something
>Is that an airplane?

[TO BE CONTINUED]

>It had been weeks since the timber wolf attack, but Anon's days were still filled with work.
>The inviting scent of cedar and oak filled the workshop, while the sharp whine of his chisel echoed, and sawdust settled on his feathers.
>Yet, in the midst of each task, something had quietly shifted. The rhythm of his days became steadier.
>He found solace in this newfound balance, as calmness replaced the isolation he once endured.
>It felt as though he had finally tapped into something larger than himself, leaving a quiet satisfaction in his heart long after the workday was done.
>As dusk settled in and the hustle of the day faded into tranquility, he took a leisurely stroll along the well-trodden path from Ponyville to the tranquil depths of the Everfree Forest.
>Each step away from the village felt light and effortless, akin to breathing. The warm glow of Ponyville's lights gradually dimmed behind him.
>Though he often said he was just out for a walk or to collect wood for his workshop, he always found himself paying a visit to a certain Zebra.
>On one visit, she brewed tea from fresh wild mint and tree bark, pouring it into two mismatched cups and inviting him to sit outside her hut as twilight deepened.
>The steam danced in the cool air, and the gentle hum of the forest wrapped around them. She spoke softly, her words slipping into a natural rhyme.

"Most ponies flee when darkness falls,
But calm, I find, will ease your thralls."

>He chuckled while taking a sip of his tea, glancing at her curiously.
"Is that so?"
>he replied.
"Fear," she said, "cannot bind those who listen."

>Not knowing how to respond, he simply chose to listen.
>On another evening with Zecora, following the same soothing tea ritual, she led him through the trees into a grove where fireflies shimmered like stars.
>Handing him a knife, she gestured toward a fallen branch.
"Craft what your heart recalls."
>He carved a wooden lotus; though imperfect, it was sincere.
>Zecora placed it gently on the pond, whispering words he couldn't quite catch. The image of it glowing on the water lingered in his mind.
>The tranquility of those evenings remained with him, the essence of the forest enveloping him, while the light from his window danced among the trees, reflecting the serene glow.
>He hunched over a small wooden apple cart in his workshop, the scent of polished wood and varnish filling the air. >The cart, with its rolling wheels, held a bed of tiny, vibrantly painted apples, a heartfelt gift for Apple Bloom, commissioned by her sister.

"All right, just one more coat, and it'll be done,"

>He muttered to himself.

>>42736933
kino, I like the idea of another Anon gatekeeping Equestria but thankfully our protagonist has gotten away for now. I look forward to more!
Also, it seems like Sunn usually updates once per thread and the other occasionally when they get it done. I suppose it depends when you write the next part and feel like uploading it to the thread.

>>42736979
Yes it continues wanna see the bond between Anon and Zecora get stronger.

>>42736979

>As he glanced at the clock, he noticed the hand creeping toward three, causing him to quicken his pace.
>If he hurried, he could wrap up the cart, deliver it, and still reach the forest before sunset.
>Dipping his brush into the glossy varnish, he spread it over the wheels, the familiar scent rising like a comforting hug.
>His wings fluttered slightly as he focused on avoiding any flaws in his work.
>The shop was a tranquil retreat, filled only with the ticking of the clock and the soft rasp of bristles against wood.
>It felt almost serene.

>Almost.

>Just as he reached for the varnish brush again, the cheerful bell above the door chimed, breaking the stillness.

"I'm closed,"
>he said, barely paying attention.

"Hopefully not to friends, Non-non!"
>Anon froze mid-motion.

"...Pinkie."

>Her voice sparkled with the brightness of sunshine and sugar, as always. But she was speaking too quickly, her bubbly cheer masking an underlying worry.
>It was evident that she had something on her mind that was difficult for her to express..
>She bounced inside, her eyes scanning the room before settling on him.

"You're still here! I thought maybe you'd already headed out, and then I'd have to hunt you down, which would turn into a workout, and then I'd need cupcakes to recover, and..."

"Pinks..."
>he gently interrupted, raising an eyebrow.
"Take a breath."

>She exaggeratedly gasped, holding her breath before puffing her cheeks and exhaling in one dramatic burst.

"Better?"

>He couldn't help but smile softly.
"What brings you, Pinks?"

"Oh, just checking in on you! I wanted to make sure you’re not working too hard or skipping snacks or… getting lost in the woods again."

"I'm fine,"
>he replied with a steady voice.
"Just wrapping something up for Applejack."

>Her gaze followed his hoof to the small, wrapped parcel.

“For Applejack?”

"For Apple Bloom. It's a birthday gift."

>Pinkie's grin seemed to brighten the room, almost too wide.
"Aw! That's so sweet! Always thinking of everypony!"
>She leaned in, lowering her voice conspiratorially.
"Even someponies in the forest?"

"Even someponies in the forest?"
>Anon blinked in surprise.
"You mean Zecora?"

>Pinkie giggled quickly.
"Oooh, you said it, not me!"

>He gave her a flat look, which soon softened into a sigh.
"Pinkie…"

>She flinched slightly at his tone but bounced back with another grin.
"Sooo… you heading to the forest after this?"

"Planning to."

"Then I'll come with you!"
> She declared suddenly.
"Not to the forest, yuck, mosquitoes, but to Sweet Apple Acres! Two deliveries are better than one! Teamwork makes the dream work!"

>Anon frowned a little.
"You really don't have to..."

"I want to!"
> She interrupted enthusiastically.
"I haven't said hi to Applejack all day, and besides, the road is always nicer with company!"

>He hesitated for a moment, then shrugged.

"All right."

>>42736933
Very interesting introduction, I'm curious to see how it goes and especially what Anonmare will be like.
I was NOT expecting another Anonstallion to be there ready to kill the MC. Unicorn anons would be terrifying in an Equestrian Battle Royale. Let's agree not to kill each other once we find the portal, alright?

>>42737207
As a ponkfag, it hurts knowing she's the losing heroine of this story.

>>42736933
I'm interested to see where this goes, the gatekeeping anon an interesting twist to the Anonpony concept. Keep it up.
>>42737207
oof poor Pinkie, feels like she's both worried and kinda jealous.
Thanks for the update, I'm really enjoying this green!

>>42736933
This is interesting

>>42737264
If we ever end up as Anonstallions in Equestria, we can team up to find Anonmare and rape her together.

>>42738244
That's very generous of you Twirapist, I appreciate the offer. But what if I was the mare? You wouldn't turn on me, right?
...Right?

>>42736933
Ooh, this is interesting. I suppose Anon now has to go find Twilight to get that other Anon to stop chasing after him.

CHAPTER 1: I'VE LOST MY DEERS EYE

---------------

>Rubble, dust, burned leaves, fallen trees
>Everywhere little Angel looked, there was nothing but the aftermath of a bloody persecution
>Anything, but his precious deer's eye
>Yesterday, he saw it go away into the forest, by itself
>That wasn't good
>Right in the middle of the night too
>He figured he'd go early in the morning
>Which he did
>Today he had gone out through the rabbit hole in Fluttershy's sanctuary
>Its super easy to traverse through it
>It is just a manner of pattern memorization, and following the signs on each path
>All the paths he made branch from Fluttershy's home
>Therefore, if he gets lost, all he has to do is look back
>Obviously, Fluttershy doesn't know about this
>Why would she? A rabbit as proud as Angel can only share so much of its affairs with the rest of the animals
>As a result, if Angel doesn't come back by the next day, Fluttershy will immediately start looking for him
>And she'll start asking her friends to help, if it takes him that long to return home
>Pinkie Pie is notoriously good at finding him
>Unfortunately for Angel, he wasn't going home without his deer's eye
>He was just that comitted to finding it
>Fortunately, he followed one of the bird's directions into the mountains
>It only took him 3 hours to reach the outskirts of Canterlot
>So it was still early
>That's when he encountered...
>someone else
>Green coat, with a dark grey mane
>He actually can't remember the last time he saw one of those ponies
>And just as quickly as he spotted him, he called out his name
>And then, he saw something come out of the woods
>He saw Him
>He never liked Him, from the very first day he appeared in Ponyville
>His fake smile, his fake charisma
>All hiding something different that Angel himself was too fearful to ask
>This is why his deer's eye was so important to him
>To protect him and ward off the evil spirits
>''Oh, Angel?''
>Unfortunately, it found him
>His voice brought him back to the present
>Before he could even move an inch, he was immobilized by green magic
>That's when He entered his field of view
>''You know I've been looking for you all day, right? Fluttershy said you didn't say anything''
>Anon, as he called himself, had the biggest shit eating grin on his face
>Something Angel despised deeply
>''The way I see it, its just the two of us now...''
>Angel is then, levitated, and brought face to face with the unicorn
>Anon drops his smile suddenly
>''..and I would like to keep it that way''
>He brings him closer, almost eye to eye
>''Capish?''
>Angel has no option but to frantically nod
>Upon doing so, he falls on his butt upon being released
>''Good boy!''
>A sudden, spark of magic happens behind the two of them
>From it, a purple alicorn appears
>''Anon! How is-''
>She stops mid sentence
>''What happened here?''
>He shrugs

[CONT]

>>42738397

>He shrugs
>''Oh, you know, I was doing a practice run on those spells you taught me, and then I found Angel!''
>He brings his body down, forcing Angel into a hug using his left front leg and hoov
>''Ain't that right friend?''
>Angel is forced to nod and smile
>''Oh! Okay...I got some news I wanna discuss with you, actually...''
>Anon recoils, raising his eyebrow
>''Why didn't Spike do it?'
>''Oh, he's feeling sick, he's got some sort of...flu''
>A gentle (fake) smile appears in Anon's face
>''And you decided to deliver these news to me personally? Wow, look at you! Princess Twilight Sparkle, Express Friendship Delivery Service!''
>Twilight giggles lightly, covering her mouth with her left hoof
>''Yeah, I like delivering news. Anyway, Pinkie Pie found some glitter dust on the exposition room. I thought you should know''
>Wait, what are they talking about?
>''Oh yeah, glitter dust''
>Anon bites his lip while looking at the floor
>''Hmm, glitter dust''
>He ponders deeply into the cliff side
>''I know someone familiar with it, but she's not a thief as far as I'm concerned''
>''Oh!'', Anon exclaims, turning around excitedly, ''isn't that the unicorn you told me about? What was her name, Trish...?''
>''Trixie?''
>''Bingo! You told me about her! Didn't she try to use the Alicorn Amulet once and nearly took over Equestria?''
>Twilight looks down, supporting her chin on her hoof
>''I dunno, she learned her lesson long ago, I doubt she'd do something like that again...''
>Right as she says that, Anon then leans on Twilight, wrapping his arm around her
>''Right, but she's a magician right? C'mon, that's gotta mean something!''
>She nods, slightly
>''Right...right...''
>''Well'', Anon says as he unwraps from Twilight, ''it doesn't mean she's guilty. But it makes her a suspect!''
>Anon looks down at angel, his mask slipping away for a split second
>''Anyway, I gotta visit Fluttershy and tell her Angel's fine.''
>Twilight spreads her wings
>''Right, I'll see you at the castle''
>''See ya!''
>''Bye''
>Anon looks up at Twilight, taking off to Canterlot
>''Oh that castle...''
>By the time Twilight took flight, Angel was already long gone
>At least gone from Anon's field of view
>He managed to reach his secret tunnel via a hidden rock entrance that Anon barely missed
>As he traversed through his tunnel system, he can't help but think about what has happened as of late
>This can't be a coincidence, he thought
>His deer's eye is gone and now the unicorn maniac has eyes all over him
>He knew he had something to do with the dissapearance of the green ponies
>After all, how could he be the only one living here?
>Oh what if there were others?
>As the anxiety slowly creeps over Angel, he spots slides down a downward slope of the tunnel
>As he has done so many times before
>Well, two or three times
>Unexpectedly, he spotted a new opening, which he was rapidly approaching at a high velocity

[CONT]

>>42738401

>The fight earlier must've shaped the earth just enough to uncover an underground lake
>Which Angel, was now unwillingly travelling through
>Not for long though, as he surfaced the water shortly after
>His desperate gasps for air echoed trough the pitch black darkness he found himself in
>As well as the sounds of a distant waterfall
>However, the water came to a standstill
>Angel found himself swimming in a not so deep body of water

>There was, however, a gap in the far-nortest wall, from which a very faint source of light illuminated from under the water

>He takes a deep breath, and tries his best to dive underneath the wall

>Ouch
>You try your best to open your eyes, but the pain surrounding your body is overwhelming

>You can make out some shades of green, blue, and darkness around you
>The ringing in your ears is eventually drowned by the sound of a nearby waterfall
>The water around you is freezing
>But you're not floating, rather, it seems you've washed ashore an underwater lake
>As you slowly regain your vision, you also get to feel something, wrapped around your neck

>it leads to a tunnel entrance
>Squinting your eyes, you manage to identify a pulsing red hue, on the walls of the tunnel
>The pain in your left side has gotten worse
>Looking at it, there's all manner of things that have penetrated your coat

The story so far
I will introduce Anon Mare in the next chapter, so I hope you stay around for more! Expect all manner of magical shenanigans coming from now on.

>>42738471
Enjoying the story. Ignore the troll, he's just kinda there.

>>42738584
He actually really likes all the stories he just talks backwards like bizarro

>>42738471
Looking forward to it! Kind of novel to have Anon as both the protagonist and the antagonist. Feels just like home.

>>42737207

>They left for Sweet Apple Acres, the faint scent of ripe apples as their destination loomed ever closer.
>Pinkie was buzzing with excitement, sharing her latest ideas for Applebloom's birthday. However, Anon noticed her enthusiasm wane whenever he cast a glance at the mysterious forest.

“You're really looking forward to going into the Everfree Forest, huh?”
>Pinkie asked softly, her usual cheer fading.
“I like the forest,”
>he replied calmly.
“It reminds me of home.”

>As they neared the orchard, they spotted Applejack stacking barrels beside the barn.
>She looked up and beamed when she saw them.
“Well, look who decided to drop by! I didn’t expect to see both of you here today.”
“Delivery duo!”
>Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing forward and presenting the parcel.
“A special birthday surprise for Apple Bloom!”

>Applejack took the gift, her eyes softening as she examined it in her hooves.
“Well, isn’t this just lovely? She’s going to adore it, Anon. You even nailed the details with the apples.”

>Anon nodded in agreement.
“Did my best,”
>he replied modestly.
“Always do,”
>Applejack said with a warm smile, tucking the parcel under one leg.
“Thank you kindly.”
>Pinkie shifted excitedly on her hooves, her smile broad yet a bit jittery.
"We worked hard! I mean, he worked hard! I helped by... uh, moral support!"

>Applejack chuckled.
"Sure thing, sugarcube."

>As Anon turned to leave, Applejack's gaze rested a moment longer on Pinkie.
>She noticed Pinkie fiddling with the edge of her mane, the smile briefly dancing on her lips before fading.
>Applejack caught the small sigh Pinkie tried to hide; it was as if she wished to stretch out the moment just a bit longer.

"Are you two heading back together?"
>Applejack asked casually.

"Actually,"
>Pinkie replied quickly,
"Anon's going to visit Zecora".

>Applejack raised an eyebrow but chose her words carefully.
"Is that so?"

Anon nodded, adjusting his saddlebag.
"She's supposed to show me something tonight."

"Well, ain't that nice,"
>Applejack said, glancing between the two.
"Good to see you making time for friends, sugarcube."

>Pinkie's ears perked up.
"He is! He's been really… social lately!"

"Mm."
>Applejack wore a knowing smirk.
"So I've heard."

Oblivious, Anon chimed in, "I should get going if I want to make it before dark."

>>42738294
Sorry, pal. I must rape and impregnate all anonmares.

Kino, I like that the antagonist anon is shown to be quite manipulative, I presume our protagonist Anon will find a way to slowly unravel that once he gets to civilisation with Anonmare. Is the protagonist Anon a earth pony?

>>42738598
That's what happens when you overdose on opposite day.

>>42736321
very nice, I remember that thread, glad someone's done something with it

>>42737264
>Let's agree not to kill each other once we find the portal, alright?
only because I'm pretty sure murder is a cardinal sin in a haven like equestria and it'd get me kicked back into this hellhole, so, agreed

>Applejack nodded, a warm glint in her eye.
"You go on ahead, sugarcube. Just keep an ear out for those pesky timberwolves, y'hear?"
>She teased lightly.
>He rolled his eyes but gave a slight grin before heading down the winding dirt road toward the treeline.
>As he disappeared into the distance, Applejack leaned against a nearby barrel, noticing the unease on Pinkie Pie's face.
“Pinkie,”
> She said softly,
“You alright?”

“Me? Absolutely! Why wouldn’t I be?”
>Pinkie replied, her cheeriness lacking its usual vibrancy. Applejack offered a slight smile.
“No reason, just thought your mind was racing ahead of your words for once.”
>Pinkie let out a nervous laugh, trying to dismiss her feelings.
“That’s just silly! My mouth always takes the lead!”
> She insisted, though her eyes revealed uncertainty.
“Welp, if you ever want to chat, I’m just a holler away.”
>Applejack replied gently, her tone encouraging.
> Pinkie blinked in surprise.
“Huh?”

>“Never mind,”
Applejack said, tipping her hat.
“You take care now, sugarcube.”
>Pinkie lingered for a moment before turning resolutely back toward town. Applejack watched her go, shaking her head with a hint of sadness.
“Bless her heart,”
>She murmured.
“Some things even a party can’t fix.”

>>42740003
Yes

>>42741035
Fucked up anon raped anon like that to make more anons

>>42741204
I don't think we need that kind of stuff here.

>>42741345
iirc that happened because twilight drugged them right? or did they both get drunk?

>>42741493
The twins of Celestia and Sombra

>>42741475
The first time was because they were drunk. The second was the filly turbo drugging them. The third was anonmare doing the raping

>>42740915
I love your green you're making N.W.F, keep it up with the great updates!

>>42739716
I'm touched. Anonstallions should protect their mares, not hurt them.
>>42741345
I apologise, I hadn't intended our.. interests.. to spill over here like that. We're just a little hungry for content.
Anonmare bros, try not to bother the Anonstallion bros too much. It's important to be respectful guests. Try to talk about their greens instead of ours (although that one did feature Anonstallion as a main character).

>You weren’t sure what she was up to, but wasn’t about to complain about the unexpected turn of events.
>Nuzzling her chest, you marveled at the scent of lavender and… dreams?
>She somehow smelled of dreams hidden deep under the lavender, stench of stress, and her intoxicating personal scent.
>You wrapped your front hooves around her withers and looked up to press your lips onto hers.
>”Mmh”
>She did not respond to your kiss, but did slide a hoof down your back to stroke the scales down at the base of your tail.
>She was soft and warm and her scent combined with the leg between your inner thighs made you grow hard.
“You’re gorgeous.”
>Sliding down on the smooth sheets, you smooched her on the cheek and planted a series of kisses on her neck your way down.
>The leg between your thighs soon stopped your slide by pressing up into your crotch and balls.
>”More so than her?”
>The Princess pulled on the base of your tail with her hoof, pinning your hip to hers and your hard-on between the two of you.
>A flash of magic rolled you onto your back as she let go.
>You bobbed back and forth as she pushed herself off the mattress.
>A shod hoof landed right next to your head with a whump as she stood up over you.
>”Well, either way. There’s something I need of you.”
>She looked down straight into your eyes as she pulled a rear hoof out of its shoe.
>The hoof landed on your member and stroked it.
>You let out a moan.
>The Princess…
>Let her head slump.
>Her rear hoof stopped moving, then rose off and fell back in its shoe.
>She shook her head.
>”I can’t. I have to be better than her.”
>Then, with another flap of her wings, she leaped off the bed and swung herself around in the air before she landed with four clops.
>You lifted your head off the mattress to look at her.
>She let her wings lie limp on the floor and hung her head low.
>Before you had time to do anything more than draw a breath and open your mouth, she spun back around and pointed a hoof at you.
>She stuck her snout up in the air.
>”You. You are a pathetic cretin without a brain. The fate of Equestria hangs in the balance, and you? You’re more interested in who is willing to lift their tail for you than saving the world.”
>Her voice was high pitched and loud.
>”Fortunately for you, I have need of somepony expendable – like you have proven yourself to be. Meet me downstairs once you’ve had time to clear your head. Or whatever other organ you use for thinking.”
>Her gaze flicked to your still hard member.
>The sight made her face twist in disgust before she vanished in a flash of magic accompanied by a loud crack.

>>42743283

>It only took a minute before you were soft and safely back in your sheath again.
>It was just as long as it took for you to hear a set of hoofsteps coming up the stairs towards you.
>They lacked the metallic clicks of shod hooves.
>Hopping off the bed, you pushed the bedroom door open and stepped into the kitchen just in time to see Fleur push the stairwell door open.
>She arched a brow and cocked her head as she looked at you.
>”You made the Princess quite upset. Upset enough that she’s decided to go ahead with her plan right now. What happened?”
>Her horn flashed after she stepped into the kitchen and made the door slam shut behind her.
“I made a mistake.”
>You glared down at your own hooves.
>The air filled with the tingle of magic as you heard a bunch of cabinets swing open and something fly out and get floated onto the kitchen table.
>”So it seems. Do you want to talk about it? I know the Princesses quite well; maybe we can figure out some way to make her forgive you.”

What would you like to do?

I finally figured out how to adjust the story to your decisions. Enter, the end game.

Nice work with having anon Kirin make out with Luna and smooch her neck all the way down to her entire body and with the way she stroke his back and pin his body further into each other embrace that was quite the sexy scene shame Luna stop herself it was getting good hope we can still turn this around and see the rest it happened one day.

Tell Miss Fleur everything so she can help us make things right with Princess Luna so she won't see us as expendable and we can know how to win the princess of night heart or win at least Fleur or Tempest heart in case luna won't have any of it.

>>42743647
What the fuck is wrong with you?

I don’t know about the rest of you guys but I don’t open up the Anonstallion thread to jerk off

>>42743701
If you don't like what Mirta posted then leave the site and don't read it. Stop being so bigotry and hatred that attitude of yours will bring only trouble and put you in danger no one forcing you to be on this site you chose to view this thread and anyone can post whatever anon story they want here if they feel like it so you have no excuse for whining about it.

>>42743742
It's not an issue with the story but with that particular Anon being incapable of thinking about anything apart cooming.

>>42743796
The huge run-on sentences and constant horny is a bit odd and can be difficult to know what is even being said.
Personally I was enjoying the story more when it was about the mystery instead of trying to fuck everything that moves.
>>42743292
Just tell Fleur the truth. Luna acted like she wanted to fuck you, then said she had to be better than her and started yelling at you. Then Luna said you are expendable and should die.

Lying or trying to fuck everypony else is just going to make things even worse at this point.

I got so caught up in school bullshit that I couldn't continue the chapter today. Worry not! Here's a drawing of our story's antagonist, Anonycorn

>>42722226
Any one remember Anonpone in Humanestria?
https://desuarchive.org/mlp/search/subject/Anonpone%20in%20Humanestria/

>>42743292
Be open to Fleur. Anon is in enough hot water as it is.

>>42743292
Tell the truth.

>>42743292
The alicorn didn't seem to entirely disliked the kirin affection. Ask Fleur how to get back into the princess's good Graces?

>>42743283
>”Well, either way. There’s something I need of you.”
Oh my!

>”I can’t. I have to be better than her.”
OH come the fuck on!

>”You. You are a pathetic cretin without a brain.
Fuck. She has a point.

>>42743292
>”So it seems. Do you want to talk about it? I know the Princesses quite well; maybe we can figure out some way to make her forgive you.”
Yeah. Fuck! Man, I don't know. We need some info, any idea, but telling her everything will reveal how dumb we were. Maybe Fleur has an understanding of such carnally affected males, but I won't hope for much respect. Others say to tell the truth, I will say the same, but add 'reluctantly'.
We should probably stop thinking with our dicks for now.

hey dudes, found anew brush i liked so in the spirit of that i want to do a lineup piece, do we like the look for the nature brother anonstallion?
eventually I want to do a few more of these line ups for other stallions then maybe anonmare too

>>42745554
Looks like a character chart of the three rulers of Equestria in the same style amazon's Foundation tv show does. Hmm...

>>42745574
>Foundation tv show
I looked this up and I have no idea what you mean anon, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

>>42745554
It's looking kinda cool if you ask me.

>>42745607
thank you, i figure he'd have the most messy, unkempt mane

>>42745592
You know Foudnation by Asimov? It inspired a tv show that's somewhat realted. The script changed the Galactic Emperor from one guy to three guys, each being a clone of each other in different age, and they ruled together. It was the best part of that show, which really speaks volumes of how shitty the actual Foundation part was done.

>>42745642
Ohhh okay, i get you now. I had no clue about either honestly, I'm not read up on asimov's stuff and Amazon shows tend to suck ass imo

>>42740915
Oh my heart, poor Pinkie...

>>42745554
An awesome comparison and they look so good. That you're considering anonmare at some point tickles my interest...
>>42744415
Look at that charismatic bastard, he looks like husband material... if not for his wicked heart. Nice work!

>>42747270
Unicornlets, when will they learn

>>42745554
I really like brother Anon's design. He's just wild and free, even after his return. No desire for any trinkets or crown. I feel like he would start eating grass during a party in the royal gardens, which would annoy Celestia and amuse Luna.

>>42747270
Colt Anon having a crush on Apple bloom I like it and approved of their shipping would love to see a story about them someday.

>That's when a shadowy figure peeks from the entrance of the tunnel
>You see a pair of eyes, twinkling in the dark
>Its staring right at you
>You don't even know what to say
>Your body is in too much pain to run away, but right now you're not thinking about the pain
>You're thinking about using what little strenght there is left on you to run away
>Your breathing has become labored, every gasp has turned into an intense battle for air with each passing second
>That's when it stops
>Its eyes suddenly dart around the cave, focusing on the cave entrance
>Particularly, one spot
>Just between two palm trees and a rock, something caught its attention
>Try as you might, you can't see it from your point of view
>What do you even do at this moment?
>Your body is too sore, literally every movement you've been unconciously doing feels like a needle piercing your bones
>But the figure is just...standing there
>Then, a sudden noise comes from the spot
>The sound of moving bush leaves, which makes its way deeper into the forest
>You turn around
>The fall must've clogged your ears really bad, because you didn't hear the moment the figure closed the distance
>Now it stood only 2 feet in front of you
>Hooves, whatever
>And it is staring down at you
>The illumination of the cave entrance has highlighted some crutial details, however
>At least its not some monster
>It stands in all fours, and most of its body is covered by a dark brown cloak
>Its head is also hidden under a hoodie
>But because you're below it, you manage to see the face of a mare
>A light green mare, with distinct green eyes
>And some patches of her dark grey mane covering her ears
>...you've seen her before
>She breaks the silence by reaching into her cloak with her left hoof
>From which, she pulls out a wooden canteen
>She moves closer into your left side, and gently sits down
''Hey''
>She doesn't respond. Instead, she gently brings her canteen closer to your lips
>GULP
>GULP
>The water tastes...different. Like rock, dirt, and minerals. But you're too thirsty to care
>She stops pouring after a couple of seconds
>After swallowing, you body tricks you into exhaling deeply
>She smiles lightly, before storing her canteen back into her cloak
''What now?''
>SHHHH
>Shushing, she brings her hoof to your lips
>''Rest easy. We'll talk later''
>Her voice was barely above a whisper. Soothing, and gentle
''Ok...''
>Her smile dissipates, before revealing a pouch from her cloak
>As you lay your heard on the floor once more, you can't help but notice the amulet on her neck
>Its metallic, dark, and it has a triangular shape
>There is a large gap in the center too, formed like a diamond
>The sound of the nearby waterfall is soothing
>You're starting to fall asleep
>''Rest, Anon...''
>Your vision goes dark once again

>Where Ponyville's library once stood, now stands a huge castle
>It still bears some sort of ressemblance to the Golden Oak Library, although much larger, and much more...glittery?
>Anon didn't even like it the first time he arrived to Equestria
>Much like his ''''friends'''', he would've preferred the Library to be rebuilt after the battle with Tirek
>Or as he calls it, Season 5
>A lot of things could've been handled different, he thought
>But even though he is finally in the world he dreamed of, he is still complaining about it
>Perhaps if he was ''''the writer'''' none of this would've happened
>Nevertheless, he had finally walked all the way from the mountains in Canterlot to Twilight's Castle
>And by walking, really all he did was walk into the Friendship Express and hop in one of the wagons for free
>And then he walked from the train station to where he stood currently
>If there's one thing he could recognize, is the size of the castle
>The tall doors he was about to enter through were quite a sight to behold
>A nice shade of gold to contrast against the crystally blue roots of the place
>As he walked through staircases and the throne room, he kept pondering about the insides of it
>Everywhere he looked, it shined like like nail polish
>Except for the Cutie Map, which had been torn appart from the castle floor
>He had nothing to do with that, he's sure of it
>Going up the fifth staircase in a row, he finally reached Twilights room
>Hey that's a funny ammount of smoke just coming through her door
>KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
>''Room service!''
>''Come in!'', Twilight exclaimed
>As he pushed the door, he found himself in a rudymentary laboratory of sorts, with boiling flasks of green liquid, books hovering in the air, a giant cauldron in the middle of the room for no reason whatsoever?
>And of course, the Princess of Friendship herself, wearing a white labcoat and a pair of aviator glasses which made her pupils grow three times their size
>Cute!
>If he hadn't seen this exact set up in previous episodes, he would've been totally shocked
>She seems to be meddling with some form of glitter dust
>''Did you find anything?''
>She turns back to see him
>''Nope! I was hoping you could help me look into it''
>She then stands aside, revealing a microscope
>''And, how do you think I'm going to help, exactly?''
>She looks at Anon's butt, his cutiemark
>''I thought you said your talent was investigation''
>Indeed, that was what Anon had explained previously to the Mane 6
>Otherwise, how can you justify a giant question mark as your cutiemark?
>''Yeah right, how about I look at it normally this time?''
>Indeed, Anon is good at answering questions he already knows
>The closer he looked at the glitter dust, he realized something was off
>It was too glittery, if it made sense
>But it was unlike anything he had seen previously before
>''Say, about that...Trixie fella of yours...you sure she doesn't have anything to do with this?''

>>42747526
>Twilight pondered, looking up into the roof for answers
>''I doubt she'd do it''
>He thought about it, before asking again
>''Are you sure? Didn't she have the amulet once already?''
>Anon had already made up his mind. Its unlikely Trixie had anything to do with this, because her vanishing powder is way different than this
>And he's sure it doesn't even work like that, which means this thing is something new
>Upon reaching that thought, his heart skipped a beat
>This happened yesterday, and today he found another one like him
>All of this means that he's no-
>''No Anon, she's with Starlight right now. They're looking for the Map as we speak'', Twilight says, smiling innocently
>She then reaches for her board, before igniting her horn with purple magic
>In that movement she just did, her labcoat was lifted ever so slightly, revealing her cutiemark and the shape of her back
>Anon smiled, and bit his lip discretely
>''Right'', he said, ''well I'll pass by them on my way to Fluttershy's. You uh, take care!''
>''You too!'', she replied, whilst focusing on her board
>Is that a Golden Ratio she's scrabbling?
>He takes one last good look at her before returning his gaze to the door
>That's when his smile quickly dropped
>A blue pony standing in the entrance
>His least favorite, rainbow colored, blue pegasus pony
>And she was mirroring his discontent on her face
>He didn't even bother to look at her after recognizing her
>He just walked by her and said ''See ya later Rainbow''
>Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, could not stop following Anon with her eyes
>She didn't even blink, she just waited for Anon to walk down stairs before shutting herself with Twilight
>At that distance, he can still overhear the immediate conversation happening in that room
>''Why do you thrust this guy?''
>''He's a friend!''
>''Ever since he showed up, weird things have happened and you expect me to believe HE has nothing to do with it?'
>Eugh, that raspy voice of hers is enough to drive Anon away
>''He's helping us, Rainbow Dash''
>''Come on! So was Discord, then he betrayed, I dunno, several times, and now he's gone!''
>''Discord has been gone several times''
>''Really? Fluttershy doesn't know anything about him. I'm telling you, he's got something to do with this!''
>''And is there evidence to prove he's secretly a super villian?''
>''...''
>''...?''
>''No Twilight.''
>''...''
>''Cheer up, we're all looking for our friends, alright?''
>''I'll keep looking then. Oh, Tank needs a new fan, could you help me out?''
>There's some noise coming from the cabinets of the room
>''I gotta go talk with the Wonderbolts, see ya!''
>The last piece of action Anon hears is a gushing wind sound, exiting Twilight's room
>God fucking dammit, he thought
>If he didn't have the social skills of a kid with Asperger's he wouldn't be a suspect
>Now he's gotta find another red herring to cover up for the thief
>...he'll figure something out

Oooh interesting... Anonmare has the alicorn amulet, and it seems the jewel is missing? And she's nice! The map is missing too, very curious circumstances... obviously if the evil faggot gets the alicorn amulet it's bad news.

>She looks at Anon's butt, his cutiemark
>''I thought you said your talent was investigation''

That's an interesting point you brought up. Ponies would want to know why you have a question mark on your butt as cutie mark. What would you guys say to cover it up?

>>42747534
I love your story you're making! Thank you for the new update to it, writefag! I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

>>42747534
This is getting really interesting, thanks for the update

>>42748085
Well obviously it's from the time I figured out that my life was mean to be nonya.

>weird scruffy guy shows up in Ponyville, just walked out of the forest one day and won’t tell anyone where he came from, whenever anyone asks what his deal is he just goes “uh… my special talent is being mysterious?”

>The path through the Everfree was darker than usual. Clouds had gathered low, swallowing the evening light. Only the faint glow of the lantern swinging from Anon's saddlebag guided his way.
>The forest hummed with its quiet symphony: the steady drone of cicadas, the creak of branches, the distant splash of a stream. And every so often, a patch of blue mushrooms glimmered faintly, lighting the edges of his path like fallen stars.
>Even after visiting the forest dozens of times, it always felt as if something new.
>By the time he reached the clearing, the first fireflies had already appeared, winking lazily in the air.
>Zecora's hut sat just as it always did, smoke from her chimney rising in a thin spiral that vanished into the dark. But there was something different about it tonight.
>The windows glowed warmer, as if the light itself had been tinted by thought.
>Anon knocked once.

"Enter,"
>came her voice curling through the door like a rhyme half-sung.
>He pushed it open.
>The scent hit him first: something herbal, sweet, and sharp. The table had already been set with two cups, a steaming pot, and a plate of thin biscuits he'd learned never to ask the ingredients of.
"You've good timing, I see,"
>She said without turning.
"I thought perhaps you'd forgotten me."

"Wouldn't dare,"
>Anon said, unshouldering his bag and taking his usual seat.

>Zecora smiled faintly over her shoulder.
“One learns not to trust words of charm until they come with work-worn arms.”
>He chuckled.
“You and your rhymes.”
“They keep me honest,”
>she said, setting the pot down.
“Tea?”

“Please.”
>He replied, with a smile tugging at his lips.

Intriguing seems like a date night right here.

Sorry for the inconsistent updates. I've been busy with work, and I really didn't like what I had for this story. Hopefully, this is better, but it's still kind of sucks because I had something planned for Halloween.

>The room was filled with a comfortable silence as they savored their drinks, enjoying their familiar ritual.
>Anon leaned back, his wings partially unfurled, a tired sigh escaping his lips.
“What a long day it’s been. I nearly let this moment slip away.”

“Apple Bloom’s toy?”

>He blinked.
“How’d you know?”
>A smile formed on Zecora's face.
“The forest speaks of many things. The wind will tell, when ponies sing.”

“Right. Sure,”
>He replied with a chuckle.
“So, the wind is your personal gossiper?”
> Her laughter didn’t follow. Instead, her gaze held piercing and profound, as if she could see into his very soul.
“And what stories might it weave about you, I wonder?”
>Anon hesitated, caught off guard by her tone.
“Me? Probably that I work too much and don’t sleep enough.”
“Perhaps,”
>she murmured.
“Or that your silence hides a storm.”
>He smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Guess that depends on who you ask.”
>Zecora looked down at her cup. The silence between them thickened.
>The warmth from the fire seemed to lean toward her, the shadows pressing closer. Her voice, when she spoke again, was softer than he’d ever heard it.
“I must admit, you’ve grown to be... more than I first believed.”
>He tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”

“When you came, you ignored the sound; each step you took avoided what’s around.
But now you walk with steady grace, as if this were now your place.”

>He smiled at that.
“Guess I had a good teacher.”
>Her lips curved faintly.
“Flattery is a poor disguise for truth.”

“I wasn’t trying to hide anything.”
“No?”
>Her gaze flicked up, sharp and unreadable.
“Then what do you hide?”
He opened his mouth, then stopped.
“I’m... not really sure.”
That made her smile faintly, feeling both knowing and a little sad.
“Few ever are.”
>They drank more tea. The warmth of it spread slowly and heavily through his chest, fogging the edges of thought.
>The light dimmed as the candles burned lower. Outside, the wind had gone still.
>Anon leaned forward, resting his forelegs on the table.
“You seem... quieter than usual tonight.”
>Zecora’s hoof traced the rim of her cup.
“Do I?”
“Yeah. Usually, you’re teasing me by now.”
>Her smile flickered.
“Some teases hide beneath their rhyme.”
>He frowned slightly, not catching the meaning.
“That sounds like a riddle.”
>She nodded once.
“Perhaps it is.”
>He gave a small laugh, shaking his head.
“You mentioned you had something special to share with me. Sooo.. what’s the surprise?”

>>42749161

So that's why he falls in love with every evil mare that shows up.

>Zecora looked at him for a long moment, then gave a faint smile.
“Indeed, I did. But it is something not visible, yet felt deep within.”
>Anon blinked.
“...Another riddle?”
>Her eyes softened.
“Yes. What I wish to show you, Anon, cannot be grasped or held, only understood.”
>He tilted his head, confused but intrigued.
“All right. Let’s hear it, then.”
Zecora set down her cup. When she spoke, her voice fell into the cadence of something sacred.

“What blooms in silence, yet burns with fire,
No breath can hush, no heart will tire.
It chains the wild, yet breaks all bars,
Unseen by eyes, but felt in stars.”

>Anon blinked.
“...You’re definitely not talking about tea.”
>Zecora Chuckled.
“No. Not tea.”
>He leaned back, scratching his mane.
“Okay. So...something that grows in silence but burns... that’s a metaphor.”

“Most truths are.”

“Right, right.”
>He frowned, thinking aloud.
“Could be...hope? Or maybe...light? Fire?”
>Zecora tilted her head.
“And which of those burns without leaving ash?”

“Fire that doesn’t burn?”
>He groaned, rubbing his face.
“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”
>Her smile widened, the faintest glimmer of amusement.
“You make it Fun.”

“All right, then. Something that breaks but is unseen...maybe...company?”
Her gaze softened.
“Colder.”
>Anon sighed, slumping a little.
“Well, I'm out of ideas.”
>Zecora said nothing. She only watched him, her eyes unreadable.
>Finally, she set down her cup, the sound barely audible over the crackle of the fire.
“Some riddles,”
> She said,
"They are not meant to be solved with words.”
He frowned.
“Then what?”

Zecora rose.
