Forget posting drama, time for cute. Canon, but separate story.
>Be Anon, a very young colt with a bloody nose.
>Fluttershy is carrying you in a foal carrier to Rainbow Dash's home.
>Wrapped very tightly around her barrel.
>Gently she lands on the front lawn, saw mom just got home from work.
>"Dash! I'm here with Anon. Something happened."
>Hear a groan as Dash turns right back around to the front door.
>"I'm coming. Just kicked off my horseshoes and--Anon, what happened!"
>Look up to her, a little embarrassed.
“I tried to fly.”
>Rainbow sighs as she stoops her head.
>”Did you jump off your aunt’s house?”
>”He did. What do we say, young colt?”
“I’m sorry.”
>Door swings wider.
>”Come in you two. So why did you try?”
“Angel Bunny said I couldn’t. I told him I could.”
>”Did you really get into a feather tossing contest with a bunny?”
“He called me a wimp if I didn’t after a double cross dare. I ain’t a wimp.”
>Fluttershy grumbles.
>”You’re a precious young foal. Not a wimp. Oh, you two, just get into so much trouble.”
>Dash points up the stairs.
>”Come on, let's get a shower going then. Clean you and me up. Fluttershy, you want to join?”
>”If you don’t mind.”
>Floating up to the bathroom, the spartan shower is wide open.
>Dash turns on the water and sets to just right.
>Fluttershy untangles you from her body.
>You are so tiny.
>Water is poured over you as they start gently rubbing the dirt out.
>Dash has a rag in her mouth as she cleans the blood off.
>”Good thing you didn’t break your nose. I know you’re eager to fly, but this takes time. Don’t rush it.
“I want to fly now.”
>Fluttershy slowly rubs the dirt out of your hooves with the gentleness only she can do.
>”It’ll happen. You have very good wings. Don’t worry about being a late bloomer.”
>Living the human dream of flying is so tempting.
>So close, yet so far.
>Fluttershy licks her cheek, then starts working on your messy feathers.
>Waxy saliva straightens out the feathers.
>Dash goes up and down your body until she’s at your undercarriage.
>Tense a bit as she touches that.
>”Calm down.”
>Don’t pop a boner, you’re too young for that.
>Massages continue until you are fresh and clean.
>Dash takes a look at the rag and throws it across the room.
>You grab another rag.
“Who’s next?”
>”Your mom will love it if you take care of her. Come on, Anon.”
>”Yeah, yeah, just be careful around my hooves.”
>Still ticklish even if you’re the one to do it.
>Dash is so muscular.
>It’s unreal when you rub her body.
>Can feel those abs.
>Back muscles that flex with power.
>Strong legs.
>Hips that are actually larger than Fluttershy’s thanks to you being born.
>That’s a sore point, but there’s nothing helping that.
>Teats are actually normal size thanks to you as well.
>Was decently tasty, but her workout regiment to lose that baby fat meant they weren’t at full potential.
>>
>>43498136
>Rub them down gently, making her hitch.
>Fluttershy takes care of her wings, your preening glands aren’t quite developed yet.
>Fluttershy is next.
>Water flows off her gracefully.
>She is soft compared to Dash.
>Coat is gentle, but there is still some muscle under her soft features.
>Further down you go, the more soft she becomes.
>There’s the teats.
>Oddly still big.
>”Flutters, are you still on the diet? You don’t still nurse right?”
>”I don’t. Just put some milk into his diet occasionally.”
>”You don’t have to keep doing that. We can start fishing.”
>Fluttershy sits down, making them jostle.
>Easier to reach and clean.
>”I know, I just miss the feeling of closeness.”
>Dash shakes her head.
>”I always thought it felt weird. Glad to do it, but still weird.”
>A little milk comes out and is washed away.
>Le sigh.
>”Maybe a little more won’t hurt?”
>”Fluttershy, please. He’s weaned off.”
>”O-okay.”
>Water is turned off.
>Shake the water off then rub down with the towel.
“Thank you. I’m sorry.”
>”I understand squirt. I was the same way, wanting to fly as soon as possible. Let me be there for you when you want to try again. Not some bunny goading you.”
“Okay.”
>They kiss you on the cheek.

There you go guys. Just clean, normal, healthy fun.

>Where did this come from?
“I mean, it might be why they want to do it. They feel responsible.”
>”So is it just guilt?”
>That stops you.
>There is a hint of bitterness in her voice.
>Slow down Dash.
>Take in everything.
>Eyes take in all the details.
>Her coat recently brushed.
>Makeup.
>She forgot a detail.
>On the tip of a few feathers are recently dried tears.
>Forget about the princesses
“You’ve not been sleeping well, have you?”
>That makes her look away and whisper quietly.
>"No."
>Too quiet, you're going to have to guess she said no.
"If you want, I can watch the animals tonight and you can sleep with Anon tonight."
>"I--"
>She stops herself, you can tell by the eagerness she really wants to.
>"I can't. You won't be able to take care of Lupine."
"Oh by the clear blue yonder, why do we care about a monster?"
>"She's not a monster! She's a lost puppy with no home, except Anon. He's her only family now. Your family now."
>That makes you grit your teeth.
"I already feel like I'm a terrible mother. Why don't I just double down on that and bring in a plant monster."
>"You're not a terrible mother."
"And you're not a terrible aunt."
>"I--oh."
"Yeah, see what I did there?"
>"Not fair changing the subject like that so quickly."
"Just how I do things."
>She falls silent as you walk into town.
"You don't buy it do you?"
>"I told him I would keep him safe."
>Fluttershy stares at the ground.
"Same."
>Her ear flicks up, then back down.
"Same for Celestia too. Maybe I am biased because we both fought hoof and feather together."
>Like some kind of comradery found in the pegasi of old against their enemies.
>Or you're just tired.
"There's something else."
>Can tell ponies are looking at you when they notice.
>They have questions.
"Anon is honest with them in ways he's not with us."
>"Why? Why can't he just be open with us? His family?"
>Fluttershy sniffles.
"I think he's scared, more than anything, of ruining our relationships we have with each other and the girls. If we know the good and the bad of each other before we even live it."
>"But he can tell Celestia."
>That finality in her voice echoes how you've been thinking.
"He told her to her face that he thinks she messed up."
>"Oh."
"Yeah."
>Fluttershy looks up with a sad frown.
>"So what can we do? I feel helpless."
>Share the same wind sister.
"I'm still trying to figure that out, but I know what I want to do. I'm going to adopt Tank."
>She perks up brightly.
>"Y-you are!?"
"I owe him. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but maybe it will put Anon's heart at ease. Anything so he doesn't crash again."
>Not sure if it's a step back of your authority.
>Balancing everything is hard.
>"That will make Tank happy."
>See that dopey smiling face.
"Going to need some help making his cloud safe."
>"Not a problem. We can get some gizmos from Dr. Hooves. He likes to tinker with stuff like that. I can get you some feed and a schedule for vet visits."
>>
>>43499140
they gotta adopt Bruce too, Bruce is a bro.

Basically he told her that he thinks she will fuck up in the future. Twilicorn isn't a thing yet.
>>
>>43499140
>Your family now.
seems like that sentence is missing a few words. how about:
>You're her only family now.
?

>>43499162
IDK about adopting, as Anon would have more on his hooves to take care of, but Bruce definitely deserves more credit than they gave him so far.

>”There they are! Get your feathery selves over here! I brought snacks-er-roos, snicker-snacks, and if you’re feeling boring, snacks."

>A roll call of happy hellos greet you like a wave.
>"Imagine my surprise when Spike belched out a letter from Princess Celestia about you coming for lunch."
"Yeah, that was cool of her sending a letter. Saw your brother, Twilight. His horn still looks like it's cooked."
>Twilight grimaces from that memory.
>"I'm glad he's fine. That was painful to look at when I said bye to him. Otherwise-"
>"How's Anon?"
>"How's your colt?"
>"Is he okay?"
>You knew that question was coming, still crazy how they all just echo each other.
>They look at each other after accidentally speaking over each other.
>Rarity coughs politely.
>"Well he is certainly on all of our minds. Though I would also love to know how you're holding up dear."
>Scowl a little as you reflect on the past few days.
"Confusing mostly. I still have more questions then answers. Anon seems to have bounced back; galloping, flying, talking all of it. I have my doubts."
>Applejack chews on her apple slices before spitting out some seeds into a cup.
>"How so, sugar cube?"
>Bring your voice low enough to be a loud whisper.
"Well, sometimes I wonder if he copes or lies to himself to keep going."
>Twilight nods slowly as she tries to piece her own thoughts together.
>"Well, that might not be the whole picture. Princess Luna was helping him. She pulled him back. We all saw it. The, um-"
>Twilight pauses as she thinks.
"Losing his color."
>"I've been looking into it. That only happens to a pony when they lose magic or fall into a deep despair. Princess Luna had to force him out of that state. She is the reason he's walking around at all."
>Pinkie pushes a rainbow colored cupcake your way.
>"I've been listening to the fillies and colts as they come into the bakery. They're all talking about the cutie mark theft."
>Rarity sighs as she mulls over her tea.
>"Indeed. Sweetie Belle keeps asking her parents and myself all about that. I can tell it has shaken her. I know she and some of her friends tried talking to that crystal tree."
>You and the rest of the girls pause at that.
"They did!? What happened?"
>Rarity shrugs.
>"Nothing. It hasn't done anything except be a tree. Beautiful certainly."
>"A'im sure Applebloom was part of that group. Still have to tell her to stay out of that crater near town."
>As the girls chat, you notice ponies are staring.
>Not at you, but somepony in a cloak.
>She's walking into town very spooky-like.
>Normally ponies would be galloping away screaming from the strange.
>Now they just glare warily.
>Recent events seem to have emboldened them.
>Twilight notices you staring at something and turns to check the object of your gaze.
>"Who's that?"
"Zecroa."
>>
>>43500875
now this'll be interesting. everypony's more moderate reactions to Zecora's arrival probably mean flutterguy won't happen... but it'll be interesting nonetheless.
>>
>>43500875
>Zecroa."
I assume that's a typo.
But it would be funny if Dash messed her name up due to a dodgy memory.
>>
>>43500875
I require more of this fantastic green, keep up the good work :D
>>
>>43500875
>Twilight looks a little confused.
>"Zecora? I haven't seen her."
>"You wouldn't have darling, she lives in the Everfree Forest. She's some kind of shaman, puts those ghastly stripes all over her body."
>Rarity whispers under her breath.
"Hey, uh, girls. She's marching straight towards us, and doesn't look very happy."
>Pinkie Pie shrieks and scoots all the way around the table to your side.
>"Curses are upon us!"
>"Pinkie! Curses aren't a real thing. Also, Zecora is a zebra. I've seen them in my books. Now please, would you all calm down, if she wants to say hello let's just say hello."
>Those hoof stomps don't belong to somepony who wants to say hello.
>All of you--
>Hold on.
>Most of you hold your ground.
>Pinkie and Fluttershy hug and tremble with each other behind you.
>"Greetings, I'm Twilight Sparkle. I was told you're Zecora."
>She throws off her hood to reveal a rather cool mohawk.
>"So you are the hoodlums that brought great disasters, shook the entire forest with your spell-castors."
>Oh mare, you are about to be cursed.
"What!? We saved the forest from that monster."
>"Raked across the lands, to my house where it mostly stands. Beast and pony fought with no regard, leaving me almost scarred."
>"Your home?"
>Twilight replies with her hoof to her mouth.
>"Mostly destroyed by debris, to a most unprecedented degree."
>"I had no idea. Listen, Zecora, maybe we can help you fix your home. That monster, we were running from it. Completely took us by surprise. We had no intention of getting you hurt."
>Zecora sighs as she sits down.
>"Precious things were lost, sorry for being cross. No safe place I have to stay, if I tried I would end up prey. Neigh, what a day."
>Twilight scoots a little closer to her; brave soul.
>"Stay in my place until we can fix your home."
>"Can you accommodate the few belongings I have left? Outside of town in a cart it is quite the heft."
>"I can try."
>Twilight sounds a little unsure and glances to you all.
"Don't look at me. I live in a cloud house. Her stuff will fall through."
>Applejack still seems uneasy.
>"I do have a barn if we need it. Hate to owe somepony for damages, even if it was out of our hooves."
>Zecora hasn't stopped studying the moment you said something.
>"You sound like a colt I've seen before, in the forest he would often greet with distant rapport."
>Great job Anon, messing with strange mares in the woods.
"That is my colt."
>"Quiet and clever, meeting him has been an endeavor. Once he had saved me, before I could reward him he flee."
"Sorry, he's not available right now."
>Zecora might not curse you now if she owes one to Anon.
>"Did he often have an entourage of animals follow? Bear, rabbit, bat, even a swallow."
>Fluttershy finally, if quietly, speaks up.
>"Those are my friends. I taught him how to speak with them."
>"Impressive."
>Yeah, maybe this is your cue to leave.
"So, I got stuff I need to do. Sorry to cut this short girls. Flying back is slower than diving down."
>>

Anon is gonna have another panic attack when he gets back and realized they skipped both the Trixie and Zecora eps.

It looks like no matter what timeline tree (houses) get fucking destroyed. At least the village's relationship to Zecora seems to be recoverable so that's something.

You missed the mares.

>>43494883
Well, what was the last action on diamond's part which made you root for her?

She's got a large hill to climb, but that's identical to saying she's a bad choice at the moment. While she was forced to show the slightest shred of humanity recently, she instantly paid for it socially and so we can't really expect her to just drop her guard and let all the other foals tear her apart like they have shown they will do. Being actually vulnerable at this point requires that she either render her heart ironclad by cultivating wisdom so that she doesn't care how ponies react, or that she gains so much social leverage that people legitimately can't afford to laugh at her or even talk behind her back, and everything about her indicates she would chose the second option. It's what she's been training her whole life for, but now with an actual personal motivation sufficient to make her "the good guy" and "justified" in her actions by more than the rule of power.

Guilt is also a poor basis for a long term relationship. I don't think I really need to go into detail on that, but basically the dynamic would reinforce her negativity no matter how much good she objectively might do.

That's why rooting for her is, at least, a long shot. So, again, what made you root for her?
Is it just that she's the only entity around with a spine and goals?
>>
>>43503299
Which isn't fair for the other foals around her. They're just enjoying life, playing at school or in town. Diamond isn't like that, she motivated to be the head mare (filly) and try to bring all of them under her influence. Anon isn't like his classmates either, because he was a grown man.
>>
>>43503464
>Anon isn't like his classmates either
This is also what makes me root for it in the very long-term. When you really dig deep they're in similar positions of believing that they, uniquely, know what's best for everypony else, and are only slowly coming to understand how important it is for them to trust others to make their own decisions even if it ends up being worse than the way that they think things 'should' go. Diamond's the only (physical) age-appropriate pone that could actually understand how he thinks. It would take a lot of development for sure, but I think Diamond has way more potential than any of the others. Even if Lily is cute as fuck and deserves more love.
>>
>>43503541
Not that anon but
>Even if Lily is cute as fuck and deserves more love
Kinda afraid about this. As cute as she is Im not very confident in the relationship lasting...
>>
>>43503541
I do wonder if most of that is just her mom pressuring her. Without it, Diamond probably wouldn't give Anon the time of day. Just see him as the strange colt who is aloof.
Is it really okay for Anon to date Lily? He is spiritually an grown man.

>Applejack quickly springs up, surprising you.
>"Hold on, let me go with ya. We got some things we need to chat about. Pinkie, keep your mane on."
>"Aw muffins, well you know my opinion."
>Applejack tilts her hat.
>"Appreciate it. Girls. Zecora. I'll get my barn ready for your stuff. You'll have to share the space with another pony's wagon."
>Zecora nods, taking the muffin being offered by Pinkie.
>"Thank you, Applejack. I hope this won't be a setback."
"Fine, I'll cool my wings off. We're heading to the schoolhouse for Anon's homework and stuff."
>She quickly trots up next to you, flicking the little straw in her mouth from side to side.
>The farther away you are from Zecora, you notice the more chill ponies are.
>They also won't stop waving at you.
>"Dash, good to see you."
>"Everything is good?"
>"Hoping to see your colt!"
"Yeah. Okay. I see ya."
>Better pace yourself, can't wave at everypony.
>"Are you really surprised by the attention, you basically announced yourself when you did your flyby."
>Applejack smirks.
>Laugh it up applemare.
>"Which is why I wanted to talk with you first."
"Jumping in line first, I really did rub off on ya. All right, out with it, tell me how awesome I am. I accept praise in song if you harmonize the chorus."
>That earns you a shoulder bump.
>"Cut it out you joker. Just want to talk about when you bring back your family for real."
"Yeah, what about it?"
>"Some ponies want to throw a party for your colt."
>"As we should."
>Applejack's face droops and she mutters a 'buck'.
>Filthy Rich marches up next to you both.
"Hold on now, I want to hear what she has to say before you throw in your two bits."
>She straightens up.
>"Maybe holding a town size party to celebrate your colt dying ain't really in his best interest or his speed."
>"We aren't celebrating his death. He went beyond brave and should be recognized for it."
>Great, can't even respond to AJ without his input.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised about a party being planned. Well then, AJ, what is your recommendation?"
>"Bring him over to my place. We'll cook up a nice meal, sweet apple juice, and just small personal shindig with his family and friends."
>Well, that doesn’t sound bad.
>Might even get cider.
>"He deserves more. The whole town wants to honor him."
>"Rich, I understand why you want to. He saved your little filly."
>Rich looks over to you.
>"It isn't just me like I said. Please, Rainbow Dash. Mayor Mare and I have already drawn up the plans to make sure he has a great time."
>With Pinkie Pie most likely.
>"It's too much too fast. You saw what happened to him, he was frightening out of his mind."
>Now you feel like a fence between these two.
>"Anon felt like something was wrong with him. No better way to disqualify those fears than hometown support and rapport."
>They face off against each other, neither are backing down.
>Filthy Rich and Applejack sigh and look at you.
>"As you can see, we're at an impasse."
>"So you decide."

I can see the points for both stances, really. Hard to say which one is the better option.

>>43503299
you got the wrong anon, Anon... I (the one you replied to) am not rooting for DT. I'm for Lily. I spent that entire post explaining my reasoning for why I'm against DT.

>>43503541
I still argue that noone likes a bossy bitch. and I have a feeling that Anon Dash is no exception.

>>43503585
he can always wait until she grows up into an adult before taking the relationship further.

>>43503681
>>43504038
if I were Anon, I would 100% go for AJ's idea. it'll be far less intense, and I think he'd prefer peace and quiet (tho that could be my own personal bias, I LOVE having peace and quiet. plus, he did always prefer BonBon's parties over Pinkie's)
>>
>>43504038
>>43504123
I would take AJ's idea too, but this is Rainbow Dash we're talking about.
>>
>>43504272
I assume she remembers her son's preference for Bon Bon.

>Her hooves squeeze prematurely and she squirts a little white on that cake.
>She hisses and rears back.
"Oh gosh, I'm sorry. That doesn't usually happen."
>She pauses, sensing around sugarcube's corners. Nothing moves. The windows are closed. The oven is at 350. The... batwing? I guess they are called 'batwing'. The batwing doors lead out to the dining area, but the front door bell had not rung.
>She has a feeling.
"Just give me like, 15 minutes uncupcake."
>Pinkie motions at the cake with a leg while squinting towards the batwings. The cake does not respond, yet. Standing, she tosses her piping bag over her shoulders like a towel, paying no mind as an extra splurt of frosting was ejects into the cakebox, and walks out of the kitchen.

"There isn't room in here for the two of us.", said pinkie, jaw triangular and teeth bared.
>Nobody dared to return her gaze.
>The doors behind her swung back and forth on their hinges.
>The noon sun beat through the windows, warming the seating of her personal saloon, and sparkling against the polish of her blue floorboards.
>Not a dustbunny dared move, because there are no dust bunnies, because she kept this place pretty clean most of the time and in particular right now.
>Also, nobody was here, and nobody had been here since Zacora visited earlier. Zacora was also pretty good at cleaning a place out, it seemed.
>Maybe Zacora could clean out dust bunnies the same way as ponies?

>Oh, right, we're investigating.
"Oh, right, we're investigating, she said. Hehe."

>Pinkie, in sunglasses, kicked open the door to her own room on the second floor, holding the bulk of her piping bag in one hoof and aiming the tip into the room with another.
"Nobody move, or the carpet gets it!
>Pinkie swept her aim, checking around the dresser to her right, and the space between the nightstand and her bed on her left.
>Pinkie's window was open. This explained the breeze.
>Gummy stood on the carpet next to pinkie's bed.
>Gummy blinked.
"OFFICER DOWN."
>Pinkie fired her armament at the carpet in the center of the room, covering gummy's face in a lair of frosting.
>After a moment, gummy's tongue crawled into view, and then cleaned the pupil of his right eye.

"Clap clap clap clap."
"We hope you'll make a full recovery, sergeant gummy!"
>Pinkie closed her window, and begane to leave, but then stopped and looked at her hooves.
"Huh... wait a minute."

>Pinkie pulled a red ribbon out of her wardrobe and tied it around the cap of her head.
>She leapt down the stairs.
"HIIIIII YA!
>She stood on two legs, holding her, at this point less fat piping bad before her, holding each end of the bag in a fully extended hoof, threatening to swing the bag about like nunchucks.
>The wood sparkled.
>For once, she knew restraint, and not the fun kind.

>Pinkie re-entered the kitchen.
>She pressed + on the stove 19 times as she passed.
>She stood in front of the open cakebox, and wrote.
"H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y A N O N."
>Pinkie looked down at the vanilla cake, satisfied.
"It's the thought that counts."
>Pinkie closed the cakebox, and pushed it to the side, into the large pile of cakeboxes, each representing an occasion she had missed.
"Clap clap clap clap."
"Haha, yeah..."

>Pinkie disposed of her piping bag, leaving it on the counter next to the mixing bowl she had used earlier.
"HEY WAIT!"

>Pinkie whipped her body around to face the source of the noise, right behind her.
>Nothing was there.
"Hmmm."
"Clap."
>Pinkie jumped, turning around again.
"ClpClpClpClpClp.
>The source of the noise remained behind pinkie's head, no matter how fast she turned.
"dunka dunk dn dndndn."

>Pinkie continued to look about, but no further clapping sounded.
"Hmmmmm.... must have been the wind!"

>Scootaloo seems to take the question seriously.
>"Ignoring the other stuff. What if this is the natural reaction a pony has when they have their cutie mark stolen? Like he will stop for nothing to get it back. Anon doesn't know it, but it's like a silent motivator nagging in the back of his mind."
>Diamond taps on the table as she thinks.
>"I mean, that's a pretty wild guess. Kind of stupid."
>Scootaloo snorts and rears back.
>"All right, smartie, answer your own question."
>Diamond sits down and looks up at the ceiling, a sour expression.
>"What if he's right? About everything. He wasn't supposed to be born, but he was because somepony made sure he was."
>You do not like that answer.
>Also, how did she know?
>"How is that not a stupid idea? What do they have to gain with everything he's done?"
>Scootaloo bites back with her own mocking tone.
>Diamond shakes her head and rolls her eyes.
>"Whatever. What we can put together based on your report. Anon has never stopped his mission. At the cost of every relationship, including his mom. He never made friends, acquaintances at best. Now don't take this the wrong way. Anon never made friends with ponies he should have boned with, like you."
>Scootaloo scrunches up her nose.
>"What's that supposed to mean?"
>"Don't give me that. If it wasn't for both of you being feathered brains you two would be peas in a pod. Though it was mostly on him purposefully self sabotaged, and you took it personally like a little toddler. Way to hold a grudge."
>Diamond jabs a hoof into Scootaloo's chest to drive her point home.
>"Either way, he's made himself an island. As strong as he is, it has affected him."
>Stealth mode off, spooky cool entrance activated.
>Scootaloo nods her head as Diamond talks, until she notices you rise up behind the filly.
>Her jaw drops as her voice leaves her.
>Diamond pauses as her partner in crime starts pointing at you.
>Slowly she turns around with you floating right behind her with crossed forelegs.
"And what are you two doing?"
>Tiara yelps and jumps into Scootaloo's forelegs.
>"Rainbow Dash!"
>"Why wasn't your fan-filly radar working!?"
"I didn't want to be found. Are you two stalking my colt?"
>"N-no."
>"Maybe a little."
>Diamond facehooves.
"Chill you two. I just want to know why."
>"Ms. Dash, that's what we're trying to do. Find out why. Scootaloo has a lot of stuff just from watching you all the time. For years."
"Number one fan."
>Scootaloo buzzes her wings.
>"I am!"
>Okay, you two. Anon is getting help, this isn't necessary."
>Both of them frown, but don't say anything.
"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are helping him. That's some pretty awesome help. He'll be fine."
>They look at each other.
>"Well if you say so."
>"Oh? Oh! Yeah, we understand Rainbow Dash."
"Thanks squirt. Don't need to worry too much. I hear we will have a party for him soon."

"Er, not quite Diamond. We're having a Pinkie Pie party with the rest of the class."

It's funny. Anon has been so worried about canon, that he has forgotten to truly enjoy and be grateful for the opportunity he has to enjoy it.
Maybe he considered himself well served, beyond his wildest dreams, by the Fluttertittymilk.

>Not sure Spoiled Rich has learned, haven't chatted with her since that day.
>All right, time to stop grilling fillies.

Remember how you said in you own green that Anon had an easy time learning because he ate up every scrap of info thrown at him like a true fan?
Its like that, you could spend a few posts talking about equestrian train scheduals and we'd enjoy. (Though Im sure we'd all enjoy some more slice of life content. Stuff where anon isnt directly involved or mentioned but we get to see how the lives of everyone in Ponyville has changed ever so slightly)

>>43512769
I can't say /I/'d be interested in train schedules, but DashMom certainly manages to keep me interested in seeing what happens next after every page, and this isn't easy as I usually skip greens due to lack of interest. there hasn't been a single page of DashMom that hasn't kept me interested so far.

I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Just, uh, letting your insecurities eat you like cheetos.

The dick sucking probably doesn't help stop the manic/depressive roller coaster, but it probably also doesn't help to be told that whatever issues you're perceiving are invisible to other people. In other words, what thing which bothers you are you asking me to ignore, in clear English? Gotta start from perceivable reality.

Wait wait let me get this straight, because I've got a guess now.

You read the line "All right, time to stop", which is not the full sentence you wished to type, and your interpretation was that your actual post must not contain the full sentence. You reached the conclusion that you forgot to say "grilling fillies", and therefore that the joke behind my image I made was that you should "grill fillies", as in you should remember to say "grill fillies". You thought I was correcting your incorrect sentence.

You managed to think this in spite of the fact that, if your sentence was originally wrong, then I would have no way to know how the sentence ended, and therefore would not be able to make a joke based on a pun based on the missing words.

Is this guess of an absolute brain fart correct?

>"Trixie doesn't really do birthday parties."
>Pinkie is still in her personal bubble.
>"Doesn't do, or hasn't done yet?"
>She is trying to keep Pinkie out of kissing range as best as she can.
>"Personal space please, we've talked about this. Trixie hasn't done a birthday party. I'll do it for one of your tasty little cakes."
>>
>>43514010
>Pinkie pulls out a cupcake and starts to wiggle her eyebrows.
>"I'll get you two big cakes."
>"Trixie is trying to watch her diet. Also your haggling skills baffle me. You don't give more than what Trixie offers."
>"I know how to get what I want."
>Pinkie answers with a sing-songy tone as she bounces around both of you.
>As you watch this play out, your ears twitch to something behind you.
>Wheels of a cart rolling down the dirt road.
>Turn to see Applejack hauling a hefty haul of random stuff.
>Next to her is Twilight and Zecora.
>Those are some spooky masks in that cart, and a big cauldron.
>Maybe she is a witch.
>Zip up next to Applejack and give her hat a playful tap.
"Big load you're carrying there."
>She grunts as she digs into the dirt road.
>"I'll probably need help backing this up into the barn."
>"Applejack has done a good job, I thought we would need a mob."
>Zecora sounds a little less scary now that she isn't upset.
>Just tired.
>Twilight gives Zecora an apologetic smile.
>"We'll get it all sorted out. Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres, though I imagine you've seen it before."
>"From a distance passing from the Everfree, I always welcomed the sweet smell of apple trees."
>Trixie and Pinkie watch the cart pass by them.
>"Pinkie, Trixie would like to know what happened to that poor pony."
"Zecora's house was destroyed by that monster. Also she's a zebra."
>Trixie's eyes follow the spooky looking cauldron.
>"Never seen a zebra before. Is she an enchantress?"
>Zecora stops and turns to the unicorn.
>"Many wary eyes I've inured, yours are newly endured."
>"Trixie is confused by your manner of speaking."
>Pinkie Pie pats her on the head.
>"Don't worry, just nod along and say nice things. It's what I do."
>Twilight maneuvers between Zecora and Twilight.
>"We're putting what's left of her home in the barn until we can get her a new place."
>"Ah, Trixie understands. Just so you know Trixie is a hugger in bed."
>"W-what!? No, Trixie. She's staying in the library with me."
>Zecora quickly studies Trixie before turning to catch up with the cart.
>Not even another word.
>Pinkie Pie grabs Trixie's face to pull her close.
>"We're getting off track. Party! Now."
>"Trixie needs to get some fireworks."
>"We don't have one in town, we'll have to cook some up."
>"Trixie is suddenly worried for her safety."
>Pinkie picks her up and starts to bounce her way down the road.
>"Don't worry! I have a license!"
>"To what!? Explosives?"
>"Yes! And baking."
"Are they friends?"
>Twilight shrugs.
>"Maybe. I think Pinkie just likes everypony."
"I mean, what's a better combination than a performer and a party planner?"
>"It does sound like the perfect duo. Don't tell Anon."
>Roll your eyes.
"I know how to keep a secret."
>Huh, you wonder if Anon knows Trixie and Zecora from his visions.
>Best way to find out is at the party.
>That might be hilarious.
>Need to get going, you spent longer here then you needed.
>Spring open your wings and fly up and out.

zacora and trixie friendly rap exchange

zacora being intentionally flamboyant and arrogant as she spins fantastic tales for entertainment because she learned from trixie, but still being a literal witch/witchdoctor

trixie learning how to make ALL KINDS of drugs in a giant cauldron

trixie sniffing her way among the wild animals of the everfree like she does, and getting the animals fucked up

Don’t know how I screwed that up. Definitely Twilight between Zecora and Trixie.

“Right back at ya.”
>Derpy shakes her head to shake the dizziness off.
>”I’m glad to see you. How are you?”
“Still dealing with crazy.”
>”That bad?”
“You have no idea.”
>She gets serious for a moment.
>”Tell me about it?”
>From one friend to another?
>Yeah, you trust her
>Single moms support each other.
“Follow me to Fluttershy’s home.”
>Match her pace.
>She seems sad.
>”Dash, I have a confession. I thought you were gone after you took that hit from the monster. That leg was bigger than most buildings."
>Sobering to start off with that.
"I got lucky. Basically got grazed by a piece of it. Still knocked me way off course."
>"You didn't look like you got lucky. When you came charging in to save Anon, you looked like you took the full hit."
"Then you charged right in to attack that thing with me."
>Derpy looks a little embarrassed pointing that out.
>"Might have been a little angry."
>Both of you giggle at that.
"It hasn't really slowed down. Even in Canterlot, things just keep happening."
>"Don't you like fast?"
"When I'm flying, and maybe when I want answers because your boy is in a terrible situation that you have no idea how to fix. Sure."
>"Then what's happening?"
"Princess Celestia and Luna have joined the family as godmothers."
>Derpy squints at that, probably trying to process that.
>"I guess Celestia doesn't know about your mom."
"Nope."
>"That's kind of funny."
"A little."
>"So how does Whistle feel about Princess Luna?"
"Mixed probably. I know Anon loves her, even if he hasn't said it outright. He has a starry look in his eyes when he looks at Luna."
>As you reach Fluttershy's cottage, Derpy stops to get out her delivery bag.
>"Here, these are for you."
>A pile of letters is dumped into your hooves.
"The hay bale is all this?"
>"His classmates wrote ‘get well soon’ cards. Dinky wrote a nice long letter too. Glad I caught you in time before you headed back up. Have fun!"
"Derpy! I'm going to need a whole bag for these!"

"Just need him cloud safe."

"Thanks Fluttershy. You okay living in a cloud house, Tank?"
>He looks up into the sky, watching a few clouds float by.
>Then slowly nods.
"We'll get you trained up to fly. Don't worry, I'm a great teacher."
>That gets him to wiggle his hind shell.
>"Look at you! So excited."
"You, uh, got a guide on tortoise behavior?"

"How does Anon fair with him?"

Not gonna lie, I feel like you're currently starting to rapid fire memes at us. The rate of those has increased a lot.
Now don't get me wrong, it's still a nice read, but I figured I should point that out.
>>
>>43516981
for now it's still funny, but yeah, I hope writebro won't overdo it. I've already pointed out that Celestia has been using the line "my little pony" too much in his green in an earlier thread. but as long as he keeps to tasteful proportions, it's fine.

>Fluttershy jerks back, her eyes wide with fear and anger.
>"Then why did you tell him yes?"
>"I haven't, I told him to think about it. Whole reason why I wanted to talk to Rainbow."
>"Tell him no. Rainbow, say something."
"I thought you were joking about bringing him with you."
>Current shrugs halfheartedly.
>"Mostly was. So then, since your colt is dating my filly did you consider what happens if I don't come home? What happens then?"
"Have you talked about that with Lily?"
>Geez dude, gotta go heavy with this?
>He shifts away uncomfortably.
>"I don't think she really realizes what it means. She's still young, daddy is a tough strong captain with a big ship. Anon, though, he knows."

"Guess I know what Zephyr has been up to. He and I need to chat."
>Fluttershy whips around with a pleading voice.
>"Tell him he stays here."
>Current has put up a tougher exterior, he's probably had this chat before.
"Fluttershy. I will talk to him, but I can't stop him if he's made up his mind."
>Ultimately he is his own stallion.
>One that has flopped around most of his life, so you doubt he'll keep to this path.
>Her lips quiver, she did not want to hear that.
"Current, when are you leaving?"
>"End of the week. Shore leave is a complicated affair. Once I go back, it'll be difficult to come back. The storm around the Singing Sea makes sure of that. We can get one ship out at a time at a specific time. Our next window another ship will get shore leave."
>No wonder Zephyr was quiet.
>Fluttershy is terrified for him, his parents would double down even harder.

"Okay, I need to go now then. Fluttershy do you have anything you want--"
>"Wait here! I'm going to write a letter."
>Flapping up and over into her second floor window.
>A rare sight.
"What's your take on it, Current? He has to be out of his depth."
>"It's more doable than you think. If he does come, I'll take care of him."
"You shouldn't have to. You got a job to do."
>That gets a small smile out of him.
>"Nah, it's fine. Not the first land lubber I've taken aboard. I saw the look in his eyes. He's motivated."
>Motivated!?
>Zephyr?
>This you have to confirm.
>Pick up the box with letters.
"Thanks for telling me. That is big news."

>>43518863
Itfeels like Flutters is justifiably afraid for her brother, but she makes a fair point. He's a dad. Dude should be there for his family. At the same time, his presence and actions are meaningless at best, actively harmful at worst. Maybe he can finally grow some chest hair with this.
>>
>>43518863
Well, I didn't see that one coming. On the one hand, going to sea might actually help Zephyr to get his shit together. On the other hand though, it wouldn't surprise me if he managed to sink that ship wholesale somehow.
Also, it's kind of funny for Current to call a Pegasus a land lubber.
>>
>>43502117
Came here to say this
>>
>>43519123
I'd imagine Zeph doesn't really fly as much as the average pegasus. plus, it's land vs sea, which is a different paradigm from land vs air. keep in mind that Captain Current is an earthpone.
>>
>>43519122
He is still her little brother. Probably has trouble getting over that.

I want to hold on to that cloud.

no doubt Z will instantly regret this decision as soon as the ship leaves port and demand to be returned to shore.

>It was already too late, Dash notices you.
>”Squirt, are you not going to open the cards?”
“What about dad?”
>Rainbow steals glances to Celestia.
>”Do you mind watching him?
>Bow and Whistle immediately protest.
>”Dash! We don’t want to miss out on him opening his letters.”
>Celestia almost taps her hooves.
>”Don’t worry. I would love to. Look, this one has hearts all over it, Anon.
>Two different responses almost makes Dash go cross eyed.
>”Fine! You two can stay here. Posey, Breeze, come with me. We have some feathers to twist.
>Great, you want to sneak and find out what’s up.
>True to their nature, Posey and Breeze relent without a fuss.
>Oh sure, now your backbone is gone.
>”We’ll be back soon. Here, read this while we go find him.”

>Man, you just keep getting wrangled from doing what you want.
>Almost like a child shouldn’t have free range.
>Go figure.
>”Pay them no mind, Anon.”
>Celestia scoops you closer to her with her big wing.
>Bow and Whistle are right alongside her.
“I’m going to have to tell you who my classmates are to go along with the letters.”
>”We have pictures from the yearbooks so you can have a face.”
“Thanks, grandma and grandpa.”
>You say with sincerity.
“Do you want to talk in Ponish or Aether?”
>Celestia is still holding on to the letter with hearts.
>”Just Ponish, Aether is a bit much after a long day. Let's start with this one. I bet it belongs to Lily.”
>No wing speak this time.
“Nice guess, but no.”
>Open it up, and sure enough it belongs to Noi.
“Here we go. ‘Anon, I won’t say get better soon. You’re too awesome to stay down. Like your mom, Rainbow Dash! I expect you to find that cutie mark thief and beat them up! P.S. How do you feel—“
>You stop cold and just look up with a disgruntled glare.

You are a very distant pony. I assumed aloof, but as things have shown you are anything but. I hope Princess Celestia can help you get your cutie mark back. We will have a Cute-ceañera to make up for it. I knew you weren't actually a blank flank, you're too cool for that.' Good grief this is still going."

>"Well, what am I supposed to say? You try sitting in a classroom packed with cute fillies for hours at a time, day after day, with usually better to do than watch them use their mouths. You can't help but see how their soft little lips gently squeeze around the tip of their pencils, how they subtly twitch and pout as they write. Every so often there's a flash of pink tongue or a few drops of drool as the messier fillies struggle to manage. But Silver's not like that, her penmareship is flawless, and you can't help but marvel at just how talented her mouth must be, the sheer amount of muscle control she must possess in order to create such delicate strokes. When she wants to be fast she can handle just the very tip of the pencil, showing off the dexterity and power of her pretty little lips, with dozens of tiny yet powerful movements in a second. Then when she needs precision, she smoothly takes the pencil further into her mouth, and I swear sometimes it must go all the way to the back of her throat but she never even blinks when taking it all. She can draw flawlessly like this, making complex shapes of all sizes, the pencil coming in and out of her mouth so smoothly you'd think it was part of her own body. And yet despite the constant tongue-work she must be using, despite all the twisting and flicking and slurping that must be going on inside that talented little hole, never has a single fleck of spit escaped her tight lips. She doesn't have a coltfriend because we're all terrified that she's going to suck out our souls with a single kiss. The main reason nopony dares mess with Diamond Tiara is because she's threatened to force us to play 7 minutes in heaven with that succubus."

Silver was always a social patsy, at heart. Now we have the wonderful opportunity to help her develop her social skills
by informing the class that celestia and luna read all of their letters and then looking silver in the eyes.

Unfortunately, that would also mean that DT learns that her one apology and admission of weakness made it all the way to the eyes of the ruler, which is probably not good.
>>
I remember hoping back during the initial competition to catch Anon that he would throw a wrench in Diamond's scheme by choosing Silver over her and that leading to Silver growing out of being Diamond's lackey. Maybe she still can if Anon is willing to be her friend

don't forget that AnonDash still has a commitment to Lily. he literally rickrolled all of ponyville to announce that he's 100% unmoveably committed. plus, he prefers a romantic partner who won't impact the storyline. at most he can be just-friends with DT and SS (tho, if I were him, I would tell that duo that the bump bump thing has to stop because I will NOT tolerate it).

but, with that said, Lily better be the first to get in his face when he gets back to school and never leave his side during the party. she still has her part of the relationship to keep up. she put too much effort into catching him to give up now.

"Wish I knew."
>Dinky clears her throat.
>"I asked my mom since she knows. A pegasus can regulate, dissipate, and insulate electricity, but he has to be trained. On top of that you can't be passive."
"Kind of like what we saw when Rainbow Dash caught the bolt."
>"Exactly like that, it's really hard. Diamond, weren't there two cloud eyes? What kind of stance did Anon take when he stood up to it? Like this?"
>Dinky then does a similar stance.
>Diamond shakes her head.
>"I don't--remember."
"I do, and yeah he did exactly that. Then he decided to throw the necklace instead."
>"That much power would have blown up Town Hall. My mom was ready to break through the wall to save me and get out."

"But he was smart."
>"Exactly. Then what he did next is just as impressive. I'm sure you all felt it when it discharged."
>Every pegasus nods.
"I saw the adult pegasi cringe as well."
>"Anon figured out exactly what he had to do. You have to be purposeful when you try to move electricity. Quoting my mom, 'It's like trying to thread wire into a needle while a bee hive is stinging you all over.' Even while he was in pain he was still manipulating it. Diamond, did any charge touch you?"
>"No."
>She answers quietly.
>"I didn't feel anything."
"Even when he passed out?"
>Dinky nods like she's trying to enlighten you.
>"Yeah, because he was still telling it to stay on him and redirect it down. Keep in mind, that much power would have done more than gotten Diamond. It would have hit a lot of us in the building. Mom said it probably would have, well, you know."
>Kill?
>Shudder at that.
>You were in the front row.
>"So my point is to make sure you tell him how much you really appreciate him. There's a reason why the adults are acting the way they are. They all know."
"Got any suggestions? We know there's a party coming."
>Lily speaks up.
>"Pinkie Pie is hosting the party. I don't know about 'kissing', but we should try to be normal."
>She whispered that kissing part quietly.
>Diamond scoffs.
>"Normal!?"
>"Yes. You heard me. I've been thinking about it and Anon doesn't like the spotlight being on him."
"Kind of the opposite of what's happening to him now."
>Lily nods determinedly.
>"Exactly. We show our appreciation, but moderate it."
>Silver Spoon rolls her eyes.
>"Moderate it? With Pinkie Pie in charge? Expect anything but moderate. Right, Diamond?"
>Tiara huffs as she crosses her limbs.
"Hey, we can sort out the cutie mark thief eventually. Just chill."
>"He deserves more."

'And what you did was be a hero. I'm glad you're my friend. Get well soon.' Aw, thanks Dinky."
>Luna opens her eyes to look at one of the pictures.
>"Foalhood friend. Very precious. Do you play often?"
"Not as much as we did when we were younger. She became proficient in magic very quickly, and I became very busy. Lots of studying on both of our ends. Her mom is dating a stallion, I can tell Dinky thinks the world of him."
>Celestia tilts her head.
>"Isn't your mom dating?"
"Who, Royal Guard? The only one they've had was a front so you can have guards follow me on my sneaking excursion. They haven't dated for real."

that's another season 1 event checked off the list. now I wonder when Gilda will show up. how will things go with her visit in /this/ timeline? I'm looking forward to that. also, Anon might enjoy the running of the leaves, and probably also the winter wrap-up.

also,
>Lily's letter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsAyiElQKtM
>>
>>43530292
honestly, I wonder if Gilda will show up at all, in S1 we know she's an infrequent but semi-constant visitor to Dash since they're still friends
in this timeline, it's entirely possible Gilda knew about when Dash was pregnant, found out it was Zephyr's and, as she is in S1, I could see her encouraging Dash to get rid of it
the two might have already had their falling out moment, and since we haven't heard anything of Gilda showing up in all the years that Anon has been alive it's possible the two separated as friends before he was born and never reconcilled
though, saying that, it could be that her showing up in the story could be her coming back to reconcile after those several years
>>
>>43530245
It was already bad enough they allowed one child into the battlefield.
>>
>>43530382
I think it's pretty strongly implied Gilda only stayed friends with Rainbow because they were both athletes, which wouldn't apply here. Would be interesting if they just drifted apart without a definitive break, though.
>>
>>43530097
He's serious because all this time he loves ponies but closed his heart off to try to figure out the truth of his situation. He called Dash by her first name instead of mom. Always worrying about the future.
This is the first time he's allowed himself to connect with a filly and his little pony heart has already melted.
>>
>>43530382
>>43530536
It was chapter 1 or 2 that basically said RD cut ties with Gilda because she said to get an abortion and they had a big fight about it.
>>
>>43530382
I haven't thought of it that way, but that's a fair point. makes it all the more interesting if she even shows up at all. tho, considering her aggressive leanings in the S1 episode, we might not see her until (and if) the tree of harmony grows into a castle with the magic map table. which... I guess we have a good long while before this green reaches season 4 (even with timeskips, and that is /IF/ writebro will keep it going for that long), let alone the friendship conquests that come later on.

>>43530563
I had to go back and remind myself. sure enough, she is mentioned, at line 1921, chapter 1. and yeah, now that you say that, I don't think we're likely to see Gilda...

>It was nice to get so many letters from your classmates.
>Friends?
>Man, this is so different from your human life.
>”I saw Breeze flying by my court with Anon. So what happened?”
>Celestia’s curiosity has finally revealed itself.
>Bow and Whistle glance at each other before he answers.
>”Just a little overreacting really. He just went to the library. Breeze and Posey probably want to spend more time with him.”
>Can feel Celestia’s eyes on you.
>"What did you look up?"
>Finally, someone is asking the right questions to probe you.
"I went there to see if I could find anything about ponies who didn't have a cutie mark. I met Moondancer by happenstance."
>Luna puts down her cup of evening black coffee.
>"Did you now? I hope her research has been fruitful. Nothing about what you were looking for?"
>Shake your head no.
"Did help her though. Grandpa Breeze had caught up to me by then."
>Celestia drinks her evening tea.
>No more questions?
>Huh, tell enough truth to let the lie of omission pass by.
>Still got it.
>Whip your head around as the dining room doors are knocked open.
>Dash grumpily hovers into the room.
>"Sorry everypony, that took longer than I thought it would."
>Posey zips past her with surprising speed to take you up in a hug.
>She's got tears staining her cheeks.
>"Anon, dear, no matter what you think. We do love you."
>Oh, that's not good.
>She pulls her tighter into her soft pillowy chest.
>Hiccuping between her tears.
>Can't see Zephyr and Breeze come in, but can feel it.
>Have to mumble your questions into her.
'What?'
>"Shh, shh, shh, it's fine."
>Dash seems to have enough.
>"Let him breathe, Posey."
>Gasp for air as she relents.
"What's the deal!?"
>Immediately look over to Zephyr, this has to be about him.
>Even Grandpa is crying.
>Honestly, it wouldn't be that hard to do.
>Rainbow floats around the table and sits down, crossing her limbs and frowning.
>Zephyr's ears are drooping down, he seems to try to look anywhere but you.
>"Hey, Anon."
>Dash groans at that delivery.
>"Just been busy, that's all."
>Oh good grief, has he been trying to emulate you?
>Try to do stuff behind the scenes?
>That didn't last long.
>"Look, I'll tell you eventually."
>Posey and Breeze suck in air sharply.
>"I said I would tell him when I was ready, mom and dad."
>Dash throws her hooves in the air.
>"What more could you be waiting for!?"
>"I'm not ready!"
>Zephyr barks out.
>Yeah, you'll just let this play out.
>Doesn't need your input to make it more dramatic.
>"Just give me a little more time. Tomorrow. I can say it tomorrow."
>Whistle and Bow tilt their heads, but don't ask anything.
>Silence hangs in the air as he breathes hard.
>Finally he looks at you with an apologetic grin.
>"Sorry Anon, what have you done today?"
"Got in trouble."
>"Ah, like father, like son eh?"
"Feels like it."
>Guess Fluttershy found out about something and told Dash who told her parents.
>Such suspense.

"Do you know what my father is doing?"
>In the land of dreams with Luna.
>She seems to glow when in her domain.
>"I do not. He has not revealed anything to me."
"Fair enough. So, what do you want to do?"
>Luna trots around the green fields illuminated by blue light.
>"I wish to take hold of the guilt you carry."
>Sigh at the idea.
"Could we just take a break? Do something fun?"
>Luna's mane bellows as she blows a calming breeze.
>Everything feels cool and comfortable.
>"We can have fun when you're whole. It would be irresponsible if I left you hurt when I could have done something about it."
>Guilt huh?
>"What happened in the heart of the monster? When you spoke with the Timberwolf Queen?"
>Okay.
>You can do this.

Poor tantabus, what does the semi automaton do when it can't fulfill its purpose.
>>
>>43532052
Uh oh, this sounds like the Tantabus is already circling out of control.
>>
>>43532213
what makes it even scarier is that all these nightmares everyone's having are causing it to overload.

>>43532052
seems to me like Luna is the one who needs therapy to get over the guilt. AnonDash should tell her that. he should tell her that he's fine and SHE's the one who isn't.
>>
>>43532052
those poor ponies, they've been traumatized by witnessing our man's sacrifice. they need AnonDash to return so they can see that he's fine.
>>
>>43532387
He is absolutely not fine.
>>
>>43532658
he's doing better than Luna at the very least. she's still eating herself on the inside over that ordeal. he's already back to his usual shenanigans.

>Night Light is tapping his chin as he ponders his question.
>Gentle Breeze shrugs politely.
>"I couldn't say."
>He jumps out of his skin as Bow Hothoof throws a forelimb around his shoulders.
>"Ha! I got you two. Gentle, Light lives in Canterlot. The only place high enough that he can use your clouds."
>Night Light's horn crackles with a quick snap.
>"That's it! Cloud gardens. I've been trying to grow some Cloudsdale flowers and your clouds have been brilliant."
>Breeze seems to shrink under the praise.
>"Oh it's nothing. Just a little something I was able to help bring together, but how did you know that was me?"
>Light points to him.
>"That mustache of yours is how I remember you. Very distinct. Saw it in the paper a few years ago or so."
>"See, see! I told you it would make you memorable and look at that."
>Bow laughs uproariously to make up for Breeze's meekness.
>Breeze taps his hooves together.
>"I suppose it did. So then, how are your flowers coming along?"
>"Deliciously, don't tell the wife, but I occasionally sample the greenery when she isn't looking. And when she is looking!"
>They chuckle together like they've always known each other.
>Then Bow gets a mischievous grin.
>"Tell me you listened to the buckball game on the radio?"
>Night Light groans as he throws his head up.
>"Laugh it up. Cloudsdale can't keep up the season streak they're on. Manehatten is still coming to get y'all you know?"
>Gentle Breeze smacks his lips as he just looks confused.
>"I haven't been keeping up."
>Bow proceeds to hug him tighter.
>"Yeah, I get it. You've been busy. Cloud Kickers just mopped the floor with Golden Light. Wasn't even close."
>Night couldn't help but roll his eyes.
>"How you got an earth pony like Dirt King I'll never know. You guys have a smaller earth pony population than we do!"
>Hothoof chuckles as he releases Gentle.
>"What can I say, can't beat the view. Can also thank Gentle Breeze for making non-pegasus materials stay in the sky with his clouds. It would be like the old days where we had to train on the ground."
>"With the rest of us, yeah I know. How tragic. Though I suppose making the trip to Cloudsdale is easier now-a-days. That spell is such a hassle to maintain."
>Oh?
>Bow Hothoof leans in and gives him a soft elbow to the side.
>"Hey! If that's in the cards let me be your tour guide. I would love to show you around the place."
>Gentle nods along.
>"Don't have to worry about the atmosphere difference since you live in Canterlot."
>Night Light has a twinkle in his eye.
>"Could you show us around the weather factory?"
>"Oh I don't do that anymore."
>You intervene a little by giving Grandpa Breeze the sad grandson's eyes.

>"Yeah, we've all been fairly busy."
>Velvet huffs at her.
>"I see your mane poking off at odd ends. Can't let that stress get to you. Tell you what, let us show you around town. See all the fun things, do a little shopping, and take you all to the famous mountain hot springs."
>Posey looks aside to her untended wings, feathers sticking out.
>"I suppose a nice bath would be good on the nerves."
>Whistle winces when she gives herself an evaluation.
>"Spreading our wings might do us some good. I think only Dash has been able to fly real good."
>Dash nods as she opens up her wings.
>"Yup, flying to Ponyville felt great. Not really sure about shopping though."

>"I've changed my mind miraculously."
>Whistle chuckles quietly.
>"Never change dear."
>Posey glances over to her husband.
>"Something for his sweet tooth. We would love to visit an ice cream shop. We miss our little shop in Cloudsdale."
>"Then we can go find a park to just gallop or fly around. Posey, sweets are one thing, but we need to get our tickers pumping in healthier ways. We can even make it fun, Dash, Velvet, myself, and you have a race! No wings."
>Whistle starts to wiggle her flanks with anticipation.
>Guess being stuck inside has been building up that anxious energy.
>Dash raspberries the idea.
>"Please, I'd gallop laps around all of you."
>"Not if I tickle you. Give Posey and Velvet a head start."
>Rainbow mock cringes back.
>"You wouldn't dare!"
>Velvet politely laughs at that.
>"You would have to gallop extra hard to catch up. Would make for great practice for the Running of the Leaves."
>"It wouldn't take long to catch me."
>Posey sighs.
>"Instead I'll tickle Rainbow and you two gallop on ahead to win the race."
>"Not you too!"
>Whistle hoof pumps at that idea.
>"Perfect. We might actually have a chance to win Velvet."
>Should call it the Running of the Moms.
>Velvet flicks her tail from side to side.

>Yes!
>You haven't gotten a chance to go there yet.

delicious greens as always. this time your errors are:
>It would be like the old days where we had to train on the ground
when
>”I hope you have be able to enjoy Canterlot."
you will be able

as a side note, you also have a tendency to forget the "I", "You" and "We" at the beginning of sentences when characters talk about doing things. it's a little bit off-putting (to me at least), tho at worst it's very minor.
also, it was a little difficult for me to tell who's saying which line in these last few green pages. could be just my brain havin a fart tho... maybe I'll have better reading comprehension on the second read-thru after eating something.

>Running of the Moms
kek
>suddenly Moondancer
time to make some friends, you smelly neet! you will be loved, whether you like it or not!
>>
>>43537123
I try to avoid starting sentences with 'I', 'You', and 'We' because it would be repetitive. I've read greens where 'You' was the first word on every line.
>>
>>43537235
it's understandable that you don't want it in every line, but in some lines the lack of these words is very noticeable. not wanting to have too much is one thing, but it's quite another to have too little.
>>
>>43537308
I never noticed. Then again, I also try to avoid using I / we / you etc.
>>
>>43537439
I get that. but those words are there quite often when real people talk to eachother. it doesn't feel natural when someone doesn't use them.

this video puts it better than I ever could (and I know it's not relevant to this thread, but please bear with me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_GQCAEYqoQ

>>43537456
I'm >>43537439 and just someone reading the green, in case it needs to be pointed out. The dialogue hasn't seemed weird to me (no more than any other greentext) but people are different and maybe my autism is not the same as yours.
>>
>>43537487
true. anyway, I said my piece. writebro will always do as he wishes.
>>
>>43537551
It's good to get another perspective on things sometimes, and it's good of you to care enough to point things out. Good luck with things.

it sure does help that they think his "visions" caused his brain to develop faster.

altho, when I was a kid, I always did prefer the company of the teachers in my school and didn't like being around the other kids. their constant running around, playing ball and making noise really bored me. so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that a real child would rather be around the quieter and more thoughtful adults, even if it /is/ pretty rare.

You.... know the exact "scholastic year" of our multi-age schoolhouse?
Without basing that knowledge on what we're studying?

... you know our age but also assumed that my classmates are my age?

M8, they have multi-variable calculus on the chalkboard at Ponyville.
>>
>>43540392
She only has to know Anon's age to know what year/level he's supposed to be in though. Or am I missing something? Seems odd if Ponyville would just bundle every age together and teach them the same thing at the same time.
>>
I am purposely vague about Anon’s age/school year because the show never gave us definitive answers.
>>
>>43540541
And she's saying it's exactly 1 year out of range, for a foal, so we can't assume this is that abnormal for a pony school.

>>43540548
Does she know his age? Did that get mentioned?

>seems odd
Yeah but.... they do?
Ponyville is supposed to be small enough, and based enough on the old west, that one-room schoolhouses basically teach all the children in town at the same time, somehow, for their whole childhood.

>>43540626
Then it's finally bitten you, as we have witnessed all exchanges between moondancer and the dash family, and I don't think it was mentioned.

So now, what, she researched him somehow?
That has to be the implication. And she just let it slip. I suppose that COULD mean something about her personality, and it's not unreasonable to try to get information on the otherworldly demon wearing the skin of a young boy who has come to you demanding access to unfathomable power in exchange for the temptation of worldly riches. It would mean she's kind of fearful, just a little. She's also still got those abandonment issues, so that could be it instead. That could serve the same emotional purpose in motivating her to research us.

Or she got the princess to tell her off screen... which would mean she's got enough preferential treatment that she can just ask that, probably outside of court since it's a bit personal and unofficial of a question.
>>
>>43540652
... or maybe she tends to over-analyze like an autist (don't forget that nopony knows Anon's true nature). and also there are things we don't know about that world, but someone who inhabited it for many years would. it could also be the latter since she /was/ Tia's student. two things can be true at the same time.
>>
>>43540886
So how does over-analysis tell her anon's exact age down to the specific year and general month, such that she would know what year of school we are supposed to be in in contradiction of our apparent education level?
>>
>>43540888
probably a lucky guess, unless she somehow knows a bunch of stuff about the school in ponyville. tho I doubt she guessed it /to the month/. just the year would make more sense.
also, nice trips. gr8b8m8.
>>
>>43540652
>one-room schoolhouses basically teach all the children in town at the same time
Don't know that this was ever stated explicitly to be the case in the show though. (Implied, certainly.) And even if they are all there at the same time, they wouldn't necessarily study the same subject at the same level. Could be a thing where there is a common lecture but then different assignments.
Probably overthinking this.
t. went to a tiny school with three classrooms where we had to share
>>
>>43540903
>anon points out obvious and massive plothole
>call it bait
yeh okay
Realistically the idea of school years just doesn't apply at all considering ponies don't seem to grow up in the same way that humans do, they're way way smarter than human children, and pony time may not even be strictly linear at all
>>
>>43540903
If she knew things about our school, then she wouldn't likely be shocked at our education level.

If you have a "lucky guess", then you don't know the guess is lucky until something confirms it. To her, it was still just a guess.

So, when anon (guess x?) shows her the homework of a (x+1) year old, if she was "just guessing", then she should update her guess instead of doubting his homework.

So, either she has better evidence than what is apparent, and so believed that evidence more than this evidence (which means she likely snooped to get better evidence than this)
she stuck with her guess in the face of evidence (arrogant personality implied, unwilling to contemplate being wrong on a guess in the face of evidence)
she simply didn't even think to challenge her assumption (head utterly empty despite remembering exactly what she learned in what year, a number of years ago approximately the difference between our age and RD's age)
or
she responded exactly like this in order to trick us into confirming her guess, rather than asking, and we did. (this would be fueled by playful superiority, a need to think of her guess as lucky and an attempt to get credit for confirming her guess. "Wouldn't it be funny if I was still somehow right and never had to appear caught off guard???" This is is contradicted with her apparent shock at our education. If this is the case, she would be the best liar among all ponies.)

But that's all too specific. The bottom line is, either she's being silly, or she has actual reasons for her behavior which implies she has information she should not have. In both cases, anon has the ability to press her on it. He may also not notice her slipup, but it's in the story now, so one way or another it will eventually mean something, if only as a footnote in the interpretation of moondancer's personality which adds context to other actions of hers later.
>>
And you know, luna was basically pony satan for the last 1000 years, the king ghoul and goblin of pony halloween, only to get switched for a new princess like 10 days ago and barge into moondancer's house like 1 day later or something like that and take over our contract.

Makes us feel like a ghastly minion. Call us Igor.
>>
I’d figure she could tell his age by looking at him. Like we do with kids.

well, I'm terrible at this. doesn't mean noone will ever guess correctly, if given the circumstances that Moondancer was in, as I said.

>>
>>43541371
>people in the castle other than the ponies celestia employs specifically for their ability to obtain and guard information know our age
That would also be strange.

Is this the story where rarity made a colt wear hot shortshorts into canterlot castle and the papers ran an article about it? If so, and if that article included our age, and if people are still talking about us enough for MD to hear about it, then perhaps that one event gave us enough of a reputation that people, right now, in this room with us are actively gossiping about our tiny underage package.

That, uh, that would be the implication of MD knowing our age if she learned our age from castle gossip. So... hope that's not it.

>luna
This was covered. We were there for their first conversation and MD appears to report her findings in court with everyone else, so it would be odd if she's also given out-of-court time from luna despite luna being so very busy all the time, with us and with her normal duties which exhausted her in the show. Particularly since MD doesn't actually have much to show for her efforts yet.

>news
anoncolt says: ">Guessing Moondancer hasn't been keeping up with the news." and he says it for pretty good reasons.

>guessing is impossible
That's not the argument.
Being certain that your guess is correct in spite of evidence to the contrary is dumb and implies something is up, is the argument. Despite guessing be an unreliable method, she would not budge her guess by even a year.

Also no it's not quite a plothole yet, but it's close enough to meaningfully call it one anyway.
I'm hoping writefag rolls with it, turns it into something, or even intended this in the first place but hoped we wouldn't notice.

"list of books for 5th grade in ponyvill

Well obviously contrived and not nearly as interesting as committing to the mistake and all that it might imply and letting that flesh out the court, MD's character, anon's observation skills, or whatever else, but if your primary goal is to put a bandaid on it and move along, that's good nuf.

Mistake officially redacted, and let us never speak of it again.

>>
>>43542546
Feels no different then being forced to wear ogling pants.

>Compelled to get this done
yeah I fucking bet

Thinking about it, from the public perspective, we did some heroism, appeared in the castle in the dreaded pants a few days ago, and then got adopted publicly by celestia.

Feels like a blueprint that ponies might try to copy. What I'm saying is that there's some chance of a pony showing up here someday soon after their mom manufactured some act of heroism for them and then dressed them... overtly and tossed them into court. After all, people follow incentives, and the public elevation of us is an incentive of our actions and those are our actions. 1. put yourself in danger 2. look questionable

This is the message being pushed publicly by this public elevation of us to a not-quite-prince.
>>
>>43542546
That whole ritual thing was pure kickass.
>>43542803
Maybe, but Celestia witnessed the heroics directly, I doubt ponies trying to curry the favor of Celestia would be that dumb.
>>
>>43542803
we also died (insert "for their sins" joke here), and I'm pretty sure no pony would really go THAT far to gain Celestia's favor. many humans made lethal sacrifices and died for the sake of others in the real world; we've never seen a pony get anywhere near doing that in FIM.
and in this green's timeline, only one other pony got remotely close, and that pony is Rainbow Dash (with a busted wing and bruised legs). I seriously doubt any other pony would ever get themselves into a situation where they are /that/ close to dying a horrible, painful death, let alone try to fight a giant monster (inb4 the Ursa Minor incident is mentioned: that one did not go nearly as bad as the magical wolflike abomination.
what this precedent shows is that to gain Celestia's favor, one must /actually/ die for her and/or for Equestria. hopefully nopony is that stupid. tho, if you ask me, if anypony IS that stupid, maybe it's better they be outside the gene pool.

some commemorative plates and a totally-not-cult are not the same.

let me put it like this: are you a christian? and if yes, how pious are you? and would you WILLINGLY get crucified? just for your 15 minutes of glory?
>>
>>43543187
If I were a christian, it would be because I believed in the literal truth of the cosmological argument of the bible, which is that I will after this life suffer an eternity of godly negligence and/or fire, or else will be directly exposed to the abstract concept of satisfaction and pleasantness for eternity. Given that framework, the 15 minutes of earthly fame would be a disgusting irrelevancy designed to test my patience further, another inane comedy I must suffer in exchange from my eternal infinite reward. And fuck yes, I would die for that reward or sacrifice issac on a burning alter, if I could find a single working cell in my brain with which to force my hand.

>It's just a plate
That's true, in the show. In the show, it's nothing more meaningful than a 23 lebron james jersey hanging on a wall, or a herculean plate like from the disney movie.

Here? Who's to say? (the author is to say, eventually) But, if windy exists, you can imagine someone just a little more devoted and a little further from celestia's radiance is burning all those things which are not celestia's favorite, someplace.

Or else, where did windy get the idea to burn the boardgames?
>>
>>43543235
the writer's sense of humor?
anyway, I still argue that no pony is that crazy, on the basis of FIM not having a depiction of such idiocy or religious fanaticism as that which we've just discussed. so let's agree to disagree.
>>
>>43543397
We’ve seen ponies make shrines to other ponies, but we all know why religion was never touched. That ain’t okay on a public broadcasting. Think of the children.
>>
>>43543413
that still doesn't mean some pony is going to try to replicate the situation that got AnonDash killed. reason number 1 being they don't wanna get killed.
>>
>>43543397
While we're quibbling over if one individual pony might exist who represents the excess of devotion, the actual point is that this represents a promotion of the glorification of service and self sacrafice, and... other values.

That's the main point, and it isn't that likely to have immediate or direct effects, just one more thing that shapes the culture.

...Plus, there's like, the narrative.
>"Right Rainbow? Zephyr shouldn't go. He would get hurt."
>He probably would, he isn't ready for that kind of life.

>"I don't think she really realizes what it means. She's still young, daddy is a tough strong captain with a big ship. Anon, though, he knows."
>He made that choice, what scares you about that.
>Your son would do it again.

which is to say, what I am describing has literally already happened. We existed, zeph saw us, and zeph made a choice the story is calling equivalent to our act of direct sacrifice. We're doing the magical main character version, but the realistic version which amounts to a dangerous job combating the wild world also exists and represents a cultural way of being in equestria, which our story promotes and directly has inspired.
>>
>>43543552
but again, no pony is going to try and replicate the situation that got Anon killed. it wasn't just /any/ heroism; he literally died for Equestria. taking a dangerous job occupied by more ponies than you can count on one hand doesn't even come close to engaging a giant magical abomination in direct combat and then being the /only one/ who died as a result of said engagement.
>>
>>43543633
yes yes and it's also not literally impossible to guess a number correctly

Point is, switch that out for "any somewhat equivalent act of heroism" which you find sufficient using your brain and values instead of fighting scarecrows all the time.
>>
>>43543671
that's the point. there is no act of heroism that is compareable to such an enormous sacrifice. if Z got himself killed while living the pony equivalent of the TV show Deadliest Catch, he would die as an idiot rather than a hero.

Everyone has embarassing memories from their childhood, but imagine her looking back in 5+ years on that time she publicly challenged the eternal matriarch of ponykind's pseudo-adoption of another child because she was a jealous little shit. And then being in Canterlot and around the court because of her family she might have to appear before Celestia for legitimate reasons for years to come. Eugh.

"I don't want to."
>Windy Whistle lifts the mask from her face.
>Her smile isn't there, but that smile hides her competitive nature.
>"Anon, honey, if we don't address this now, she will be challenging you for the rest of your life. We are doing this. Now!"
>Dash puts her hoof on Windy's chest.
>"All over two rival fan clubs? This is ridiculous."
>She glances down to the hoof stopping her.
>"Dashie, I love you with all my heart. This, however, is a duty that was bestowed upon me by the previous chapter's matriarch."
>She puts on her mask.
>"We do not lose face to Canterlot. Cloudsdale has too much pride to lose over a pivotal moment. Just like with sports teams and the Wonderbolts. Our group is older than Canterlot's."
>She moves past Dash, and you follow halfway down.
"Are we really going to go through with this when Celestia has already made her decision?"
>Windy looks at you through the perfect round holes of the marble mask.
>When you've seen her wear this, it was funny.
>This doesn't feel funny.
>"Dawn Breaker. Since you are challenging us, explain how you are able to do so."
>You look up to Celestia hoping for her input.
>She's frowning and leaning forward, that seat looks uncomfortable now.
>Dawn looks surprised at being addressed.
>"Celestia's, Our Chosen Light, decisions may be addressed by the ponies in moments they believe an error was made without wroth."
>That you've read about.
>Ponies were afraid to parley or challenge Celestia a long time ago at the beginning of her reign.
>Celestia made this a law to let them know they were protected.
>Mercy laws.
>How do you make this go away?
>Slowly trot down the bench right back in the spotlight.
>Talk about a reverse mirror.
>Sunbeam Glory looks confident, while you wish to be anywhere else.
>Dawn Breaker is worried about facing your grandma.
>Windy answers her.
>"You may sit with the throne, but we sit in the heavens closest to the sun. The real seat of power. Anon, raise the sun."
>Glory looks surprised when Whistle produces a smaller horn mask and puts it on you.
>"What's that for?"
"I'll show you."
>She 'praised the sun', now you show her what she's up against.
>Rise up vertically slowly, wings outstretched, horn pointed straight up.
>Limbs outstretched wide.
>Windy Whistle, produces a light vial, and pops it right behind you.
>Just like how Celestia does it during the Summer Sun Celebration, an outline shines around your form.
>Ponies cover their eyes.
>Slowly land back on your hind hooves.
>Your legs don't tremble, they don't stumble.
>Dawn has a tight jaw as you land back to four hooves.
>Sunbeam's jaw is open.
>"Wow."
>She shakes her head when she realizes she was starstruck.
>"Y-you just trying to be fancy."
>Take off the mask.
"Glory, you wish to be her student?"
>"I do. Just like all of her faithful students she took under her wing, I was ready to trot that same path."
"What changed?"

“You should know why she said that.”
>Sunbeam hesitates a bit.
>”Her sister was coming back.”
“We’ve been dancing around her, but Princess Luna is very important. Celestia wants to be with her at this very moment. Only by her love for all of us does she sacrifice that time to govern.”
>”So because you helped save Luna you get special favor? How is that fair? You didn’t even do it by yourself, other mares were there. You just got rescued. I worked hard only to find out I never had a chance.”
>Does she not know what happened with the Timberwolf monster?
>”Then I find out she took a colt. So I’m here to earn my position and do it right.”
>Do it right?
>Why would she say it like that?
>Glance up to the adults, Grandma Whistle seems so steadfastly sure of herself.
>Though the mask hides her features.
>What’s interesting is Dawn Breaker.
>Her ears aren’t pinned down, but she is defensive in her posture.
>History, something happened.
“I’m not her student. This is a family connection. Despite no intentions on my part, I’ve endured myself to both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”
>Sunbeam stomps her hoof.
>”That’s how it works. A faithful student and an adopted godfoal is the same thing. She is going to mentor you to adulthood.”
>Screw being on the back hoof.
>Time to think about how this can be used to your advantage.
>”So I’m challenging you to a Dusk Duel. Prove my superiority and worthiness to being the Faithful Student. When sun court ends we will meet here again. I trust you to accept or submit now to my superiority.”
>Turn around to walk to the bottom steps, look up to Princess Celestia as she watches this play out.
>Whip around.
“You’ve come here as if you speak to me on equal standing. The mercy laws only work if the majority stands against a ruling of Princess Celestia. However, if ponies stand with her then her position can’t be challenged without proper evidence. All I’ve heard is a filly who’s upset that she wasn’t chosen.”
>Glory tightens her lips.
“Unless.”
>Her eyes widen.
“You can offer me an incentive.”
>She jumps on that offer immediately.
>”Not honor for Cloudsdale?”
“It seems Canterlot is trying to regain honor. Try again."
>”Money?"
>Shake your head.
>"Magic items, ancient books, new shampoo for your wings? Tell me! Stop shaking your head no!"
"I want you to give me a tour of the magic school."
>"What!?"
>Several ponies react in various displays of confusion and shock.
>You were the only one close enough to Celestia to hear her a quiet intrigued 'what?'.
>This might be your only way to get easy access to the school.
>"Why!? That makes no sense?"
>Sunbeam's, poor filly, voice breaks with a Sweetie Belle level of a shrill.
"I think it will be more fun than us just challenging each other. Regardless of the outcome of the duel, I want you to show me around your school."
>She seems off guard, but she recovers.

>"Anon, you could do better."
"This is what I want. I don't want to be a bully."
>Dawn Breaker seems revealed and tries to shoo her filly out.
>"I'll see you later, Anon!"
"Sunbeam Glory, before you go. Just so you know me being present for Luna's return wasn't what caused all this to happen. The catalyst was the past weekend."
>Glory stops at the doors with a confused look.
>"What happened?"
>Look at one of the reporters in the room.
"When do you report on that? It's been a few days."
>Reporter looks up from his notepad, not happy to be directly addressed.
>"Ponyville? Canterlot Times wasn't present, actually no news agency from Canterlot was present for that. We had to buy the information from a group in Manehatten. It should be done now. The theater should have the video presentation if you want to see it right now. Radio will announce it during the noon if you wait."
>"Then that's where we shall go!"
>Sunbeam turns to her mom with a pleading voice.
>"Can we go to the movies?"
>Dawn sighs as she pats her filly on the head.
>"Fine. We can go. Just remember to finish your homework and prepare for your Dusk Duel."
>Well that's that.
>Look up to Grandma Windy as she watches them go.
"This is about Sunset Shimmer isn't it?"
>"So you do know about the disgraced student? I never told you about her."
"I put together some of the clues."
>Return to the family as they all seem bewildered at what just happened.
>Except Grandpa Bow, he couldn't stop cheering for you and his wife.
>Princess Celestia sighs then announces for anyone else to present.
>"Anypony wish to continue the flamboyant presentation? You'll have to wait another two weeks before court allows it again."
>Guess that show was hard to follow up since no one else presents their case.
>Which is a shame, you've heard musical numbers happen here a lot.
>Dash leans down to you.
>"Magic school? Listen, Anon, you're not going to beat the egghead allegations doing this."
"I want to see a fireball."

Sorry for the long wait, but Chapter 14 of Anonkirin is up! I also made a few edits to Chapter 13 and started a new ponepaste for Part 2, which now contains both chapters. part 2 link here: https://ponepaste.org/12152

From here on, I’ll post in the threads when the story updates on ponepaste instead of posting the chapters here. Splitting each chapter into multiple posts takes a lot of time, the captchas are a pain, and the giant walls of text disrupt the flow of the threads.

Thank you to everyone whos been reading and sticking with the story, especially through the long waits. I promise I’ll see Anonkirin through to the end.

I hate how my sleep addled mind isn't extrapolating the context here, but I'm curious how Anon Dash is gonna handle this issue. More lore-building is neat with this Dusk Duel. Is this story going to avoid apeland or is Sunset still a pony at the moment a la Witch of the Everfree?

>but I'm curious how Anon Dash is gonna handle this issue
Not the author but I figure it'd be simple enough to say it was an oracle vision. Don't have to explain more than that, especially in a world with magic and a fuck ton of unexplainable shit.
>>
>>43546879
Sunset is related to Sunbeam’s family in some way and was a faithful student. She wanted to get power to become an alicorn until she disappeared one day after an unknown altercation with Celestia. EQG is not going to be a thing.

>>43546879
There is not a single thing inherently wrong with a portal to a human dimension which is not our earth.

What's wrong is the pretty obvious intention of adding that to the show. On television, it represents a failure to commit to the bit. The characters are ponies. The ponies have personalities. The personalities are a bit deeper than a puddle and proving that is the whole point of the show. You're humanizing 4 legged women while going against the current grain of animation.

Meanwhile, equestria girls feels like an attempt to copy the sucess of that monster highschool show fromt he time, and makes the characters ACTUALLY stupid and shallow for the sake of simple comedy. You're laughing at and cooing at 2 legged sub-women while following the current grain of animation.

That dichotomy does not exist in written fiction. You're on the horse board. You're holding onto this austistic bullshit like 10 years after it stopped airing. You aren't making the choice to reduce pinkiepie to pure adhd and sunset always was a pile of anger issus wearing a jacket. Also, you don't have to use the setting and characters for such shallow entertainment, or focus on how simple they are. You can kind of just work around that by not pointing the camera at them as much and resisting the urge to show human applejack in a banana suit dancing for 5 bucks.

Bah
She only broke her word if you accept that celestia is literally not allowed to adopt a godson without also adopting a high mage in training.

A lot of the questionable things you say I accept on the grounds that, by the internal logic which runs the narrative of your story, you are correct by definition, and so the story should be interpreted from a perspective which would agree with such statements. This just seems like a toe over the line.

While it is reasonable that the court might equate the two, or that the most biased pony in the whole kingdom might accuse the princess and anon of pulling a fast one here, or even that anon might just end up learning a thing or two just from proximity, the final word on the intention of what celestia has decided to do is celestia.

But no, here she agrees with the framing, which implies either that she's kind of a pushover who can be infected with suggestion by her more mortal and grounded subjects,
or that she really was giving us that official role without telling us which means she kind of lied to us about this adoption thing by omission,
or else that she just means she thinks that she accidentally technically broke her word, which she did not.

noone said timeskips are forbidden. you did do a few. who says you can't do a bigger one? judging by the fact the kirin in FIM become so sensitive to WORDS of all things like far-leftists IRL do, I'm guessing the kirin village doesn't get much in the way of thrill and intrigue.
(jus saiyan. you do what you want with your story. it was just a random thought that popped into my head anyway, so it's no big deal.)
>>
>>43551655
She got both by adopting twilight, because twilight was both a cute filly she adopted and a high mage she was training, where "high mage" is a strange official title also in charge of independent government inspections and any other mission celestia might come up with while secretly testing her student's potential as a ruler and replacement for celestia. In those cases, she's adopting a mage filly because she wants to make sure that any horrific family issues would not get in the way of her attempts to groom a new ruler for equestria, and the role makes it easier to exercise control and take liberties that are generally reserved for parental figures without having to directly flex her authority as a ruler. For instance, I did NOT take a shower with my 3rd grade math teacher and tickle her titties with feathers.

She would get both by adopting sunbeam, as sunbeam's whole family seems to be real excited to throw celestia one of their magically gifted daughters every 15 to 40 years.

By adopting us, she does not get a high mage. Or, she doesn't get a high mage on paper. We can technically do magic, and more importantly, the magical half of being a high-mage is a cover for her attempting to find a new ruler. She just admitted that she broke her word. This can mean that she intends to hand the country to anon, which is why she thinks of our adoption as being the same as the adoption of other foals over the years. It would also somewhat explain the whole sneaking-thing. If she can't teach us magic which we can use to flatten any threat that comes our way, then she has to find out what we're capable of and nurture that until we can handle being stalked and pounced on by an alicorn-level threat.
>>
>>43551725
speaking in the context of the last bit, I'm inclined to believe that Celestia wants both Anon AND Twilight alicornified. Twi already /technically/ has a crown and has shown willingness to push thru the tough times and do what's right in the face of potential death, as did Anon.

as for Celestia breaking her word... I have to ask, what word exactly? it was only hinted at, from what I noticed in the dashmom green. I don't know if I missed it or what, but whatever plot hole might be there, I don't see it. I mean, there are always exceptions to at least most rules, right? Celestia did say that much regarding Anon's case.
also, didn't Celestia address Moondancer as "my mage"? I figure something with that might be relevant.

>You broke my word, not something I do lightly."

and that IS the question, what word, exactly?

>>43551788
She has a whole school full of mages. That's not the same as the adoption thing or whatever that twilight/sunset got.

[WIP] I had an idea for a "King in Yellow" style book that King Anon writes or ghostwrites to fuck with his subjects. alternatively, this mockup could also just be a cover for a unique king Anon green. I liked making this mockup, might do more for some of the other popular greens.

If we go by what Celestia was doing in the show. Not only was she spending time with her long lost sister, she was trying to retire. Having a personal student was probably not going to work as she might end up leaving her position before the foal's education was up.
>>
>>43551943
based on that logic, she'll probably stick with the old Twilicorn plan after all, and MAYBE have Anon join her in alicornhood so that they be king and queen. tho, that'll leave the question of Lily...
>>
>>43551947
"Twilight, for the prosperity and stability of Equestria, I need you to rule at the side of this colt that's less than half your age."
"Do I have to sleep with him?"
"It's kind of implied, yes."
>>
>>43551964
"Oh... yes Princess Celestia."
>300 years later
"Twilight, could you pass the salt."
"Oh, so the colt half my age thinks he can boss me around, huh?"
"... I miss lilly."
"Heard you the first time."
>>
>>43551977
kek, the real reason Twi nuked the world before G% is because Anon kept asking her to pass the salt every single time they had dinner together and then mentioned Lily. :D
>>
>>43551916
Thanks anon. I'll think about making more anonstallion concept book covers in this style. Just need more ideas for it.

Ooh I love this mockup, its very cool!

You gotta think big picture, imagine Lily with an alicorn buff on her already super strength. She could one shot every villain in the show I bet. The adoption and what not with anon is just a cover to get to Lily and eventually train her in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (where Twilight got ascended).

AFAIK it's called the Caelum. I think I heard that in one of Tobby's "the MLP we never got" youtube videos in a part where he rapidfires leaked small facts and other stuff from FIM's production. if you want me to find the specific part, it'll take me a while, tho now that I think about it, imma go and rewatch those videos just to be sure.

Often it would be a personal affair, and it would involve a ceremony just like the one Rainbow Dash and I performed. There is precedent for me taking a foal as a student and myself joining their family in partnership to raise them."
>Man, Sunset Shimmer really must have stung if she betrayed her.
>"Anon, why did you ask her to tour the magic school? I'd be willing to."
>Shrug casually.
"I can tell she isn't completely antagonistic. I would rather have a positive experience with her. Also, magic school sounds cool."
>And you can slip away better from her than your folks or Celestia.
>"Good opportunity to be her friend."
"Friendlier at least. Hopefully."
>Grandma Whistle plays with her mask between her hooves.
>"It would have been your first Dusk Duel too."
"I got homework."
>Not that you can't finish it in the evening.
>Dash scrunches her nose as a thought strikes her.
>"You know, if I had challenged somepony to a contest and they didn't even bother to try, I would be upset."
>Stare at her with a blank face.
>Great, she's right.
>Throw your head back with a groan.
"Fine. I'll make a token effort."
>That brightens up Grandma Whistle's face.
>"Wonderful! Always listen to your mother. She's amazing after all."
>Celestia looks up at a clock.
>"Break is almost over. What did you have in mind, Anon?"
>Music?
>Art?
>Something the fandom made that would be cute to use.
>What would be a good one to use?
>Gotta think about it.
"Not sure. I'll think of something."
>"You know, I have a few ideas."
"I know you do Grandma Whistle. I'm sure Sunbeam is going to bring her best game, which honestly would be really fun to see. She's got that fire in her!"
>Night Light looks down into the hallway where his wife has Moondancer hostage in a hug.
>"I'm going to try to catch up with Velvet. Maybe tomorrow we can catch up for a little town tour. It has been wonderful catching up with all of you. See you later."
"Later?"
>He winks at you.
>"And miss out on your duel? Looking forward to seeing it."
"Aw come on. Now I have to meet your expectations too?"
>Celestia has a 'sad' face as she brings a hoof to her chest.
>"Does mine not matter?"
"That does it. Mine is going to be about Luna!"
>Celestia breaks her fake frown with a giddy grin.
>"Oh excellent! I would love to see it. I need to get that moving picture to record for all time."
"Moving picture? Oh, a video camera."
>This just keeps escalating, you and your big mouth.
>Grandma Whistle blinks in disbelief.
>"I don't know if that's allowed. It's supposed to be about Princess Celestia."
"Rules say nothing about Princess Luna. Just Princess Cadance is a no go."
>Going to be a real Dusk Duel.

Well chapter 4 is long enough. Going to make a new paste for the next segment.
>>
>>43553314
>Just Princess Cadance is a no go.
How so? Because she's not related to Celestia by blood?

>>43553352
Someone tried it, then they made rules against because no fun allowed.

She kind of does her own thing in the Crystal Empire, and has Flurry.

Honestly, G5's backstory would have probably been averted if Twilight had an alicorn co-ruler.

The trick is inevitable. It was the whole point.

No matter if we do a luna dance or sing a luna song or even if we dress up as celestia and imitate celestia because imitation is the highest form of flattery and if we rightly win the competition where we decide what party is the biggest Celestia patsy by roasting the fuck out of celestia on a personal level and getting away with it like only someone close to celestia can, we still tricked sunbeam and her dumb fat mom.

If we roll over immediately, then we win because we had enough leverage to force a rigged game because we've already won the game that actually matters, which is the game of gaining celestia's favor, and we would be flaunting that privilege in front of them even though it is the exact privilege they came to question.

If we win the competition fairly, then we show that we didn't even need to arrange a rigged competition and were ultimately fucking with them.

If we compete but throw the competition by committing very pretty heresy for 20 minutes, then we (showed superiority to the point of not needing tricks) (tricked them anyway in a way that uses our privilege to justify the continuation of our privilege) and (blatantly pretended to be a fool and made them sit through it)

If your goal is specifically to get the filly to not hate you, well, that game was also rigged from the start.

Point is, the only reason why our forfeiting should make them mad is because it draws attention to their own embarrassing failure as negotiators. So, if we've decided we care to avoid appearing to publicly mock their stupidity, then the goal has to be drawing attention away from that stupidity.
>>
>>43553935
what if sunbeam, after having witnessed the news report on the battle of ponyville, is the one who decides to forfeit and then apologize?
>>
>>43553961
Then we will have zero control over if she figures out we tricked her or if she actually holds it against us, but she might not.

We could try to plan around the possibility, but like, there doesn't seem to be anything to do. If we imagine the worst case scenario, she could look at the movie we made her go look at, decide she straight up doesn't want to do this anymore, and show up only to quietly forfeit and leave. In that case, for the sake of actually getting her to not be a sad sack or clinically depressed from a sudden loss of direction in life, we would want to get her to be inspired enough to put in her best effort at the competition.

I don't think that's how she will respond, but if she does, there is no action which we can know would give her motivation back. Maybe a game. Maybe the sheer heresy of our luna worship will inspire her through sheer rage. Maybe something more normal and celestia-focused would get her back into her normal headspace. Maybe going 'No, I forfeit!' 'No... I said I forfeit.' 'Nuh uh, you win.' Might get her going again through childish bickering.

Basically, there's little use preparing for events which are both unlikely and good and which don't require preparation to be maximally good.
>>
>>43553738
Truly a shitposting king.
>>
>>43553935
>>43553985
Always the possibility that Sunbeam tries her hardest and legitimately wins.
>>
>>43554422
I think that would be the best outcome. Sunbeam probably recognizes that she's not going to get what she wants, but having it officially recognized that she got a raw deal would be good for her ego.
>>
>>43554422
That is by far the most likely outcome. Her not trying her hardest is a marginal concern. Us trying our hardest is unlikely, though it looks like we'll try at all.
>>
>>43554422
I kinda doubt that though.
Not against Anon.
>>
>>43554773
unless Anon literally lets her win
because it will change absolutely nothing

AnonDash cannot be contained forever.
One day he will break free.
And Equestria will not be ready.

>Be Sunbeam Glory, magic filly extraordinaire!
>Your friends think you're getting way too worked up over this.
>Maybe you are, but after what Aunt Sunset Shimmer did; you feel you can help restore the family's honor in Celestia's eyes.
>Anon just throws you off though.
>The moment he took you seriously he shot down your challenge with ease.
>He was right, you had no ground to challenge him on.
>Mom nudges you as the line to the movies starts to move.
"Sorry, mom. Just thinking about what to do."
>"It's fine honey. I'm also frazzled by what happened."
"Anon's family being the head of Cloudsdale fan club?"
>"Yes. Fascinating how all this comes together. Sir, I need an adult and filly ticket."
>The squeaky voice of a teenage colt with acme problems leans over to confirm your presence.
>"Two tickets for 4 bits. Enjoy the show!"
>Finally, you march up to the movie line up, not totally sure which one mom just bought.
>Mom catches up at such a slow pace.
>"Hold on dear, the movie doesn't start just yet. It'll be number four."
>You don't hold on, and just dart to the movie room.
>Don't even care what movie it is, you want this info.
>So you wait, and wait, and wait.
>Why is this taking so long!?
>Mom trots in, looks around until she sees you.
>Counting every step she makes, you wait.
>"We have 15 minutes."
"Oh come on!"
>Cross your forelimbs and pout.
>This is the worst.

>Hooves in the upper room have been pattering about trying to put the reel started.
>You so much want to go up there and do it for him.
>Projector light comes to life as numbers count down.
>Scoot onto the edge of your seat as the crackly music starts.
"Finally!"
>"Hello citizens of Canterlot! Please be quiet and don't light your horns during the show. Before we begin our feature presentation we bring you the news. But first!"
>Snacks and drinks start singing.
"I don't want that! Get to the news!"
>"Glory, be patient."
>Sit down with a grumpy grunt.
>Pointless stuff comes on the screen.
>Blah, blah, blah.
>This would have been more fun if you brought your friends.
>"Canterlot News now brings you news from all across Equestria!"
>Yes!
>Stuff comes across screen.
>Until finally Ponyville.
>"Manehatten Times has provided information for this next segment."
>Mom starts to frown.
>"Our great Princess Celestia and Our Finest Soldiers went down to Ponyville to deal with a threat in the Everfree Forest."
>Videos of various ponies flash on screen.
>Princess Celestia is always far away like the camera pony never approached her.
>Guards going about their procedure.
>There's Twilight Sparkle!
>"Twilight Sparkle, Celestia's faithful student, lead her group with the Elements of Harmony to rescue the Tree of Harmony."
>See Anon standing with the herd.
>Talking with his mom.
>Then Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
>Lean forward as the narration continues.

That's, uhm, a very abridged summary of events.
Yes, let's go with that.

at least sunbeam won't be demotivated by this

so we can not worry about that thing which was never going to happen anyway

>>43555616
Oh so she wants to restore the tattered family name. That's a far more well intentioned motivation than I thought.

>Well, that could have gone better
"How bad is it?" You ask as there isn't a mirror close by
>"Well, luckily for you, darling, the damage only seems to be skin deep, as it were. Rainbow must have pulled her punch" Rarity says as she once again presses the stinging, alcohol-soaked cotton swab to your muzzle
>You flinch back for the dozenth time and eventually just wave it away
>With some care you bump a hoof to your nose, wince at the pain, then try again with a wing
>"That's gotta be one o' the stupidest pranks I ever done seen, 'nonymous" Applejack says
"Yes, thanks for the riveting criticism" You snip back
>Then farm mare whinnies with a shake of her head before trotting off
>"So, any other bright ideas?" Twilight sarcastically asks
"Ha ha. Ha ha." You say as you get to your hooves. "Point made, Twilight. I'm going home, I'll talk to Dash whenever"
>"Maybe you should talk to her now?" Twilight hints, leaning forward
"Oh, sure, sure- where is she, Twilight?" You ask turning to her
>Twilight opens her mouth to respond, closes it, places a hoof to her chin, furrows her brow then sighs
>"I don't know" She admits
"Neither do I, and getting punched in the face by your best friend sort of takes the energy out of you" You say as you trot a bit away from the group. "Rarity, thanks for the costume," you nod to the fashionista, "Pinkie, thanks for the cotton candy"
>"You're welcome!" She cheers as she gives a small salute. "Tell Rainbow I said hi!"
>She waves as you take off into the air
>Pinkie's certainly an odd one
>Sometimes you think she knows more than she should somehow
>The wind flows past you, and you become painfully aware of how winter is closing in
>It's already starting to get cold
>Your coat makes it not as bad as it would be back home, but you definitely need to look into getting more clothes
>There's a tension in you that you'd rather not have when you get home so you try to ease it out on the fly
>Flips and loops help to tire you out but does nothing to soothe you
>It still irks you that Dash decided to just mollywhop you in the kisser
>Was your joke in bad taste? Sure
>But was it funny? Also yes
>It's insane that she couldn't see that
>You were positive she'd get it
>The both of you fight, you pretend to crash into a building, she sees a smashed watermelon, you both laugh
>It should have been simplicity itself
>Then you could have gotten back to what you were doing after you got it out of your system
>Now you're gonna have to do you-don't-know-how-much to smooth things over
>A brief thought flitters through of whether all that effort would even be worth it
>Then the rest of you overrules that part and states that it would be
>It'll take more than a hoof to the muzzle before you'd want to cut ties with her
>Just as you reach your house you sag and drop down, walking along the fluffy surface to the door
>Grunting and groans of exertion from the other side pulls your attention
>>
>>43556662
>As you open the door, you're met with the sight of Rainbow trying, and failing, to move Tank
>Someway, somehow, your cloud door creaks
>That pulls Rainbow's attention as her head snaps up to look at you
>The two of you briefly share a look, even behind your goggles
>Honestly the weird tint is starting to bother your eyes anyway
>With a small huff, you bring a hoof up and drag the mask back off your face to rest on the back of your neck and shoulders
>You glance between her and Tank, and simply huff and move over to your small kitchen
>Mach's visit and your resulting charity by giving him and his sisters a box of oat bars each has left you with effectively nothing
>One bar remains in one box that you snatch for yourself
>Without a word to Dash, or a word from her, you move over to your couch and sit
>Rainbow scoffs as well and puts her back into pushing Tank out the door again
>As you watch her, you raise a brow, now unobscured by your mask being off
>She clicks her tongue behind her teeth and barely murmurs out an explanation
>"He won't move" She mutters
>As if to prove her point, she shifts to be above Tank and wraps her hooves around his shell and flaps her wings
>Seemingly defying physics, Tank seems to have made himself denser as, despite how strong you know Dash's wings to be, the tortoise barely moves a millimeter
>Dash strains and groans against her pet
>Perhaps the testudine will become so dense he'll hit critical mass and the black paint of his bomb costume will turn into a black hole
>Eventually Rainbow seems to burn herself out as she all but collapses on top of Tank's shell
>"Taaaaaaank" She groans out. "Come on buddy..." She pokes at the shell, but Tank doesn't even poke his head out
>She lets out another huff and sighs as she goes limp on the shell
>For a while, the only sound in the room is her catching her breath, and you taking another bit of the oat bar
>"It wasn't funny you know..." She finally says
"Really? I couldn't tell with your hoof in my muzzle" You respond
>You both share glares
>It doesn't last as you look away from each other
>Eventually she joins you in prying her mask off her face
>It really sucks being mad at her
>Now it feels weird to watch her out the corner of your eyes
>The stark yellow of her goggles almost made you forget how pretty her ruby pink eyes were
>It's almost pathetic when you notice the two of you are trying to swap glances at each other without the other noticing
>Another sigh wracks its way through you
>You were gonna have to do this eventually
>Your hooves drag down your face as you lay down on the sofa
"I'm sorry..." You start, pulling her attention, "if my prank scared you..."
>Her face twists into an indignant glare briefly
>Probably insulted that you'd imply she was scared
>But then that twist falls to a deep sadness
>She pats Tank's shell before fluttering off it to be on the other side of the couch
>>
>>43556668
>"It... yeah... it sucked, thinking..." She doesn't finish the sentence before starting the next. "Where- where did you even-?"
"Applejack went to this... 'novelty crop competition or something, found me a watermelon" You explain
>That gets the smallest "heh" you've heard out of Rainbow
>But even still, the noise is enough to bring a small smile to your lips
>Rainbow slowly rubs Tank's shell until she lets him be
>"Alright, Tank, we can stay a little while longer" She says as she flies over to your kitchen
>It takes at least a minute of rummaging, her pushing aside boxes and opening, closing, and reopening cabinets to double-check them
>"Dude, you're out of oat bars" She states
"Not yet, I'm not" You almost tease, waving the last one at her
>"Coulda sworn I saw you had like, four boxes before" She murmurs
"Mach showed up" You say, almost explaining it in its entirety. "I didn't have any candy for trick-or-treaters and I didn't want to be that guy who doesn't give foals candy on Hallo- Nightmare Night"
>She lets out a short, scratchy laugh as she flies back over to you, slowly, almost cautiously climbing onto the couch, as if testing to see if you'll shoo her away
>"Good job, genius, now you're gonna be the guy who gives whole boxes of oat chocolate bars at Nightmare Night" She points out
>You bring your wings up to your eyes and groan as you sink back into the couch
"Damn it, you're right. That's gonna be so much worse to deal with next year" You sigh
>"You're... still gonna be here next year?" She asks, lightly rubbing one hoof over the other
"I don't have anywhere else to go-" You had chuckled, but paused at Rainbow's downtrodden look and sit up. "Why, what's the matter?"
>"Well... no- it's stupid." She scoffs, shaking her head
"Come on, Dash-" You start
>"Don't do that." She says, cutting you off. "I don't want to fight again."
"Well it can't get much worse-" You click your lips shut at the glare she shoots you. "Oh, come on, what's one punch between friends? If we can't laugh about this then-"
>"I'm sorry too, alright!" She says, quickly. "I just..."
>She doesn't have to say anymore, you can read it all on her face
>The green and red painting the inside of a building must have done more than you realized
>But at least you've both said your piece
>Now there's what comes next
>And you have no idea what that is
>With a sigh, you nudge her
"Hey, I'm serious. What was it? I promise not to fight if you do." You offer, and she seems to consider your offer
>Then, she sighs. "I just... got worried that after I knocked you out, that you might move away"
"Now hold on." You say, furrowing your brow as you point a feather accusingly at her. "For the record, you did not knock me out, you barely dazed me"
>"Oh please." She chortles. "I made you spinout worse than a broken wing midflight"
>The two of you bounce back and forth on the specifics and semantics of how hard she hit you
>>
>>43556670
>It isn't long before you realize you've gone from stiff separation on the couch to practically lounging on each other
>A small glance is enough to make you both bounce up a bit
>At least a small laugh is shared to make it feel easier
>Eventually you start to feel your suit chafe
>And from the look of things, Dash is feeling it too
>It's easy enough to find the zipper of your suits
>Getting them off is another thing
>Grunts and curses are uttered by both of you as the material crumples and bunches together, sticking worse to you
>To top it all off, is the ever present feeling of sweat sticking to you
"Ugh. Hey, Rainbow, help me out of this so I can help you outta yours" You say
>"What!?" Her head snaps up to you. "No way! You should be helping me first"
"Rock, paper, scissors?" You offer
>How lucky for you that pegasi came up with the same game, but for wings
>"You're on!" She says
>The two of you do a brief count and throw
>Both rock
>You both throw again
>Both rock
>Again
>Both scissors
>Again and again you throw, eventually doing away with the countdown and throwing the same at least a dozen times
>Until the tie finally breaks
>And your victory is plain to see
"HA!" You point a hoof in her face
>She growls and bumps her nose to yours with how much she gets in your face
>"I want a rematch!" She demands
"Do you? Do you really want to throw a dozen of the same thing again?" You tease as you curl your wing back and forth
>She pauses, considering
>It was strange how often the two of you match
>You honestly can't tell if you were reading her mind or if she was reading yours
>Eventually she seems to deduce that, worst case scenario, you'll be throwing against each other for another twenty minutes
>Or she could help you now and get out of these suits quicker
>With an annoyed groan she walks up to you and helps you get your forehooves out first
>Then she flaps her wings to get above you and pulls the suit so that it'll finally slip your wings free and peel off your back
>When only your hind hooves are still in the suit, you kick the suit away, with only a small bit of trouble
>It feels good to be out of that
>A throat clearing reminds you of Rainbow still stuck in her costume prison
>Hold on
>At a closer look, you see she hasn't even gotten the zipper down
>You barely stifle a laugh which makes her glare
>"It got stuck! Sue me! Now get over here..." She kicks a hoof across the floor
>You move over and fiddle with the zipper, then lean closer and try to use your wings to help
>Why is this one so much smaller and thinner?
>Sure, Rainbow's smaller than you, but this is ridiculous
"I... have an idea?" You offer as the thought cautiously crosses your mind
>"Dude, I don't care, just get this thing off me" She grumbles
"Alright, but you asked for it" You mutter out the side of your mouth
>Using your wings, you get the zipper up and bring your mouth forward, catching it in between your teeth
>"Dude..." She murmurs, though she doesn't push you away
>>
>>43556672
>Damn these thick hooves and their lack of leverage
>You brace them against her chest and eventually feel the zipper give way and tug down
>Dash seems to relax as the zipper finally lets fresh air into her body
>Meanwhile you focus all your energy into not focusing on everything your feeling
>The gentle warmth flowing off her body and over your face as you pull the zipper down
>That smell of petrichor you find native to her that seems to have congregated inside the suit, now flooding your nose
>Most difficult to ignore is the subtle brush of her fur against the tip of your nose, and where you're slowly zipping down to
>Luckily Rarity only made the zipper go down to the stomach
>It was only a few seconds, but it felt like it had stretched out to hours of intimacy
>Without a word, not wanting to draw attention, and possible jokes, to the situation, you help her out by the forehooves as well
>You follow with her what she had done with you and help pry her out of the suit by flying above her back and pulling it backwards
>From this angle, you never realized how neat the muscles in her back are
>Not overwhelming, bulky or bulging, but just beneath the surface of the skin, firm but defined
>Eventually she kicks off her suit as well, and the two of you are stood again in your living room
>But now it feels... different for some reason
>Like the air is charged with something
>As if lightning could strike either of you, at any moment, and it wouldn't be out of place
>The static between you grounds as soon as she clears her throat and sits
>She fiddles briefly with her wing, and you notice some of the feathers seemingly bunching together, like hair slick with sweat
>Uneven and unaligned
>Glancing to the side, you notice yours are the same
>Strangely it takes you seeing it before you feel it
>You always had a semi-conscious awareness of your feathers
>But now its intrusive
>Like pins and needles they buzz with discomfort
>You sit as well and try to copy Rainbow, but you only succeed in prodding and poking at the feathers, correcting one, and mkaing three worse
>"Dude." Rainbow says, pulling your attention as she looks at you like you just insulted her mother. "Seriously?"
>You look between her and your wing
>Just another way that you stand out from these ponies
>You'd heard of preening before back home
>Something birds did
>But you normally just tried to not mess up your feathers at all to avoid needing to do it yourself
>Teeth and hooves didn't seem dexterous enough for realigning feathers
>And you didn't want to embarrass yourself by asking another pony to ask a full grown pegasi how to do something you imagine foals know how to do
>With a sigh, you sag
>Your head hangs and you click your tongue and nod
"Yeah."
>You don't need to say anything more
>She half-groans, as if annoyed to find another strange thing about you
>But there's a familiar chuckle too
>You're still very much you
>She stands and nods away
>>
>>43556676
>"Come on, this is normally better done where you're comfortable, and your couch is a little small"
>You nod and push down the thoughts that poke at the border of your acknowledgment as she heads down the hall to your bedroom
>Earlier you'd sat on the bed with her no problem when she first arrived
>This will be no different
>Just a little... closer
>Maybe a lot closer
>You trot into the room, you'd initially tried to flap your wings to follow her, but found your equilibrium was off
>Her hooves fidget before she pushes them into the mattress as you enter
>You give her a small smile which she returns as you join her
>The two of you sit briefly in the silence, awkwardness abound
"So how do I-"
>"Let's start with-"
>You both stop
>Not wanting to step into that old mess of talking over, you simply indicate to her
>"So... uh- preening." She starts. "You do know what preening is, right?"
You roll your eyes, but only briefly. "Yes. I know what it is. I just... don't have a good grasp on the how"
>"You've never had to preen your feathers before?"
>It almost makes you chuckle at how she can ask such loaded questions so easily without realizing
>You simply sigh and shake your head
>"Lucky." She chuckles. "It's easier with somepony else anyway, somepony you trust-"
"I trust you." You say the words almost automatically
>It's night time, so the darkness makes it hard to tell, but you're pretty sure she's blushing
>She swallows heavily before she nods
>"Yeah, I- I trust you too" She mutters
>Her right wing nervously twitches beside her before she spreads it out fully
>It's like a painting, her wing suspended in place
>You can make out every nuance and detail
>The feathers that are just a slightly different tone of blue to the rest
>It also almost immediately becomes clear which ones require preening
>Almost as if instinctive
>Maybe your new biology is affecting how your brain is processing stuff
>Again, she clears her throat and pulls your attention
>Her muzzle scrunches as her eyes dart between your face and wing
>With a flash of realization, you stretch out your right wing as well
>Seeing you get the clue makes her relax slightly
>Slightly being the operative word
>"Okay, now, hooves are normally don ewhen you do it yourself." She explains, shuffling closer to you
>You follow suit and she doesn't object as you two come to be chest to chest
>"But they're not ideal." She continues. "Your mouth, NOT, your teeth, are the most ideal, but with somepony else, you can use the tip of your other wing as a guide"
>She uses her left wing to tap one of your right feathers into place expertly
>You finally let yourself properly make eye contact while this close
>It's not like you've never been this close to her before
>Hell, you've been muzzle to muzzle with her before
>But that was normally when you were being competitive and joking
>Neither of you are joking anymore though
>You swallow a lump that forms in your own throat, then clear it
>>
>>43556679
"So, I... I just...?" You lean to the side, bringing your muzzle closer to her right wing
>"Yeah, and... I'll..." Similarly, she leans away, going to your right wing. "Just... take it slow, newbie"
>You snort out a chuckle and watch how the downy hairs on her feathers flutter with it
"Newbie?" You ask, softly
>"Sh- shut up-" She mutters before you feel her make contact with your feathers
>That
>Is
>Weird
>But not in a bad way
>Though you do have to make an effort to not seize your wing up and away from her
>It's not ticklish, or painful
>But your hindbrain immediately sets off alarms
>One of your most vital limbs
>The most fragile
>You've left it vulnerable
>And you're letting someone else near it
>With a few breaths, you relax and let what you know about Dash flood your mind
>Your memories
>Your trust
>The animal part of your brain concedes and relaxes slightly
>Remembering that you're supposed to be doing the same, your eyes comb over her wing
>You pick one of the unaligned feathers near the bottom of her wing first
>Probably best to work from the bottom up and from the outside in
>Right?
>She'll tell you if you're doing it wrong
>With careful precision, you let the very tip of your lip make contact with the feather
>You feel the same subtle tension ripple through her wing and to Dash's spine
>She shivers in your peripheral vision
>Just like you needed a moment to collect yourself, you wait
>Eventually, her wing relaxes, and almost blankets your face
>Taking that as a sign, you continue
>It's a mesmerizing experience
>You almost lose track of time as you slowly go from one feather to another
>All the while, you feel Rainbow, almost mirroring you
>You can really feel her in your wing
>As close as the winds and weather have ever been to you
>If not closer
>Like she suggested, you use the tip of your left wing to help you with the alignment of some of her feathers
>Her wing almost seems to subconsciously brush back against yours as you preen her
>And you let your wing do the same
>With some uncertainty, you ask about any feathers you should pluck
>You really don't want to pull one that doesn't need pulling
>It's almost like she can hear you through her feathers
>You mutter each question into her wing, barely above a whisper
>And you can feel her answer come back through your own wing
>Eventually you snap out of the small, trance like state you entered when you feel your muzzle brush against her side, and you feel hers brush against yours
>You're both at the pits of each others wings
>And for a while, you both stay there
>One wing preened
>You should move onto the other
>But you don't
>You enjoy the closeness
>The feeling of her breath on your fur and skin
>Your mouth opens, to say something
>To break the stalemate, to remind each other that your other wings exist
>But your throat goes dry
>Then you feel her muzzle nod against your fur
>Wordlessly, the two of you quietly shift past each other

>You have to pull your heads back, and your eyes flash against each other before you start the process over again with your left wings
>This preening is faster now, but not rushed
>Your eyes are closed but its as if you know where you need to go before you see it
>Each breath you exhale rolls along her feathers
>And the closeness lets you feel when a feather doesn't flow with your air
>The two of you almost dance along each others' wings
>In these brief moments, she knows you better than you know yourself, and you know her
>Again, the reverie is broken by how your muzzle presses against the pit of her wing
>And this time, you know why you stop
>Because you don't want to pull away from this closeness
>Your lips are just above her fur
>You know how she smells
>But you want to know how she tastes
>But what if this is a mistake?
>She stops at your pit too
>Would she want this?
>Do you want this?
>Was today a date?
>And if it was, what is this?
>So many questions
>So much noise in your head
>"Anon?"
>Her voice
>You love the way she says your name
>It's enough to banish all the noise
>It's the only noise you want to hear
>At this point, you're pretty sure you're both adrenaline junkies
>She's a speed freak
>And you like to risk breaking your neck against the ground
>There's adrenaline to be found here
>Primed in your system, and ready to flood you
>You just have to take the risk
>No time for thoughts
>Your lips press forward into the pit of her wing, and you feel her chest constrict as she sucks in a breath
>But you don't stop, the adrenaline flows through you, yet it doesn't drive you to some madness
>It's a lazy, heavy flow
>Your lips pepper around her pit
>Then she seems to snap out of her stupour, and does the same
>This time, it's you who takes a breath
>Feeling her lips trace around your wing tip is surreal
>But you never want to feel anything else
>It's slow, and each kiss burns so sweetly, but you and Rainbow slowly work up and down, and across
>Your heads are side to side as you each take your time taking deep, slow breaths of the tufts of fur on your chest
>Petrichor hangs heavy in your head, swirls through every thought
>Eventually you push up into her neck, and she lets out a small groan that crackles with the alluring scratch of her voice
>You pursue that allure with more as you let your muzzle sink into every inch of her neck
>There's a small pause as you pull back
>Back enough to break the haze
>For just a second
>You two make eye contact
>In this moment, you could stop
>She could leave
>You could both sleep
>Pretend this was a dream you never share with each other
>She refuses
>Her hoof hooks around the back of your neck as she presses her lips to yours
>You let your wing drape over her shoulders, and hers wrap around your sides as she pulls you in
>There's a brief bump in places that could take this further
>But as you two open your eyes again and match your gazes, you know
>>
>>43556682
>With words unsaid, you agree you're both not quite there yet
>You're happy here, where you are now
>Even though you're both so lost you don't even know where "here" is
>But being lost never stopped you
>Your muzzles press hungrily against each other
>The night passes by outside
>Stars twinkle
>The moon shines
>But in the silk-soft darkness that the night draped over your bed
>You two almost forget its all out there
>The holiday
>The fight
>The strangeness
>It's just the two of you
>And you love it
>You love... her...
>Everything you've seen so far and come to know
>But words are lost as you're still too busy tasting the difference in each inch of her coat
>The minutia between each cheek
>Her chin, her shoulders and legs
>But you always return to the parts before
>It feels like her neck and muzzle call to you more than any part of you
>She seems particularly taken with your chest, enjoying burying her nose in whatever your scent is to her
>You don't know how much time passes
>Seconds?
>Minutes?
>Hours?
>Days?
>Definitely not that last one
>But it could have been, and you wouldn't have minded
>The two of you come up for breath, and your cheeks press against each other
>"Anon?" She says again
>This time, you answer
"Yeah, Rainbow?"
>"Is... is this alright?" She asks
>Her voice isn't as sure as it usually is
>The bombast you know replaced by something smaller
>Fragile, like glass
>You nod your cheek against hers
>You nuzzle her
>It hadn't been something you'd looked into much of
>Why would you? You never thought you'd go this far
>But what you remember of what these ponies do with the ones they care about, you try to repeat
>You share your breath with her
>Help her level out her own breathing
>It's like slowly drawing her into the calm with you
>Her chuckles tell you you're not doing it perfectly
>But maybe that's what makes it work for her
>She knows it you
>No pony fumbles around as much as you do
>It makes you smile
>Normally, all the ways you showed you weren't a pony, all the ways you showed you were... wrong
>You'd hide it, worried of what they'd think
>But you don't hide it here
>You're not worried about what she thinks
>After all, she's here with you
>So even if you're screwing up, you must be screwing up in a way that works
>She relaxes against you, and you realize just how light she really is
>You let her sway push you as the two of you settle against each other on the bed
>With a small, soft kick, you're both ensconced in a nest of your own making
>Wings of cyan and green
>Blankets and pillows
>It's soft
>Then it isn't
>You look at the intruder and chuckle as Tank slowly clambers up through the cover between you two
>Rainbow laughs again, bumping her muzzle against Tank's before doing the same to you
>Yawns take you both as the stress of the night finally takes you both and you relax on the bed
>You really don't know what awaits you both when you wake up
>It scares you enough that you'd honestly be alright not waking up again

damn, that took longer than I expected it too, but I feel comfortable with how it turned out
I will say that my next update definitely won't be until some time after the anniversary stream, though, with my usual schedule that probably won't seem much different from usual, but I wanted you guys to know that this time it was intentional instead of being a result of my own stupidity/laziness
also, let me know if I should repost this update at the start of the next thread, I wasn't expecting to end up sending this so late in the thread's post limit
finally, I do think the next update will be the start of a new section of the green, Chapter 2, Part 2, whatever I'll call it, this seems like a good place to start something new that continues on from this
>>
>>43556687
Early morning sunn update. Today's gonna be a good day!
>>
>>43556687
Well that was certainly intimate.
>>
>>43556687
comfy intimate moments with dashie :D tho honestly i'm a /moon/fag but that's neither here nor there...
I don't think you need to repost this wall of green in the next fred, this one will still last for a little while before it's archived.
>>
>>43556687
i had expectations but this surpassed those by a mile, beautiful stuff. chapter 2 after this feels warranted imo
>>
>>43556687
From pranks, to punch, to preening, to pecking (plus a bit more than that). Nice update.
>>
>>43556687
That was so good! God damn, I wish I was a pegasus!

>>43556687
Peak snippet, love how their relationship has progressed throughout the story.

It is. Part of a larger set too.
>>
>>43557524
These sketches are neat.
>>
>>43556687
There's a brief bump in places that could take this further.
I'm glad the story is realistic to notice anyone would be hard in this scenario. Nothing better than cuddling with a boner and not necessarily meaning it has to go further.

>Huh!?
>This talking screen is going way too fast.
>Monster was barely on screen for a few fuzzy moments before the explosion.
>Spectacular explosion sure, but this is just jarring.
>Crackly voice comes back.
>See Celestia smiling and waving at ponies in Ponyville.
>"Thanks to her efforts, the Tree of Harmony has returned to bring a new age of peace across Equestria."
>Screen pans over to a wild looking tree that radiates power.
>Anon is seen again with the other bearers of Harmony in a group shot.
>All of them are smiling.
>"Truely a great day. Now for the next news."
>Tune it out as you slowly turn to your mom with a confused expression.
>She looks down at you before her horn lights up and an orb of silence covers you both.
"What was that!?"
>Mom sighs as she sits back.
>"Manehatten Times is a filthy propaganda rag that speaks terribly of our Princess Celestia. Absolute trash."
>Point at the screen.
"So what did we watch?"
>"Canterlot news stations had to buy from them the film. Which I remind you is very expensive. After they received their copy, by the looks of what we just saw, they edited it to fit a more proper work. However, it is very choppy."
"I want to see the whole thing."
>Mom looks back to the doors.
>"Follow me, but stay hidden. I suspect this might be expensive."
>Nod firmly as you wait for her to leave.
>Following close enough, mom finds a pony on break with a pair of scissors on a film for a cutie mark.
>"You're an editor, yes?"
>"Huh? Yeah I am. Whatcha want?"
>She takes out a small card.
>"I'm part of the Princess Celestia Fan Club, and I just saw the edited work of the news report in Ponyville. I would like to see the full thing."
>He chews on a straw slowly.
>"Ma'am, that was hard to watch. You can, but I don't recommend it."
>"For the sake of being up-to-date about all things Celestia, I must. Even if Manehattan Times says slanderous things."
>He shakes his head.
>"That is the least of that reels problems. You want to watch a foal die?"
>A chill goes through you when you hear that.
>"W-what!"
>"Yeah, it ain't pretty. If you still want to, you'll have to pay extra and sign a clause saying you agree to watch this. Again though, just move on, miss."
>Mom pulls out her purse.
>Stallion sighs as he stands back up.
>"You'll be the first. Please don't talk about it to others. Keep it on the down low. This thing is just terrible. Go down to Screen 13, I'll set it up."
>Stay hidden as he trots away.
>Mumbling about getting a drink of salt.
>"Honey, this might not be a good idea. I'll watch it and tell you what I saw. Stay outside."
"Okay."
>She goes towards screen 13, and you wait.
>In a few moments that same stallion comes back with a reel.
>"Morning little miss. Not at school today?"
"I was excused."
>"To see a movie? You're something else."
"I have excellent grades."
>He grunts as he moves along.
>Frown at that as he goes to a smaller door.
>You decide to follow him.
>Carefully go up the stairs.
>>
>>43556687
Gosh, blessed by another Sunn post.

I love my Anon Stallion x Dash kino

>>43557959
>"That is the least of that reels problems. You want to watch a foal die?"
>A chill goes through you when you hear that.
>"W-what!"
an appropriate reaction
>>
>>43557959
incoming onion overload. I kinda feel sorry for that poor old mare having to watch that...

also, I've been reading the PegaAnon green from the start. Anon simply cannot be contained! >:D
>>
On the edge of the end of the thread, stallions. What do we got for the next image?
>>
use
book kun

probably
>>
>>43557959
I wonder if she tells her what happened. I think she should, as hard as it is. Because it might even cause her to change her mind on Anon completely.
>>
>>43558792
was this one ever used before? https://ponerpics.org/images/7369258
if not, maybe you can do "adventures in the far north edition" or something about winter spirits or whatever for the next fred. (just a random quick thought)
>>
>>43558867
What's the story behind this guy?
>>
>>43559033
IDK, I just flipped thru the pages on ponerpics until I found something that I just happened to think might maybe perhaps make for a possibly passable fred OP image if OPbro happened to agree. but if that's a no go, then disregard my newfaggotry.
