Wow. Visiting this site again was like going back to my old neopets page. So much nostalgia.

Sequels1

An anime/mlp loving college kid with an IQ of over 140 and multiple personalities finds himself in Equestria. Pretty normal, right?

Unfortunately, some unsavory humans made it to Equestria before him.

Now, if he wants to stay alive, Dom has to convince everypony that humans are not the evil creatures from their history books. Once that's taken care of, he can worry about finding a way back home.

Good so far!

This is a very good story. Please write more.

Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

I will do as you request. :rainbowdetermined2:

so whats going on between dom and claire? I get she's a tulpa, but she's exhibiting abilities that even tulpae can't do. It's like Dom is passively reconstructing reality through shear will/discipline.

I'm allowing a few extra abilities due to the magic in Equestria. Clair herself was surprised when she first noticed she was having an effect on the world.

Don't worry though, I'll try to keep it pretty limited.

3948157 Ah i see. I was wondering if the magic of equestria was going to amplify his mental faculties to transsentient levels.

Loved it. I especially loved the 'mindscape' and the chess board.

It is a perfect way to plan out their course of actions.

As long as he doesn't try to pull a sunset shimmer and completely destroy there friendship (for a whil at least) and keep him logical but kind I'll smile smile smile

Thanks! :twilightsmile:

Well, I don't think it really makes any sense for him to try and destroy their friendship right now.

Then again, I'm not really sure it made sense with Sunset Shimmer... I think what she did may have just been out of spite.

You.....Are confusing. But the good kind.

this will only end well.........

>in Equestria, where the law states that humans should be killed on sight.
you mean he's in Equestria, the land of Love, tolerance and magic of Firendship which don't even have a decent military force aside Elements who consist of untrained civilians who couldn't even follow orders?
yeah, i don't think so.

3969216

Do you mean the Elements which defeated enemies which no other race could? Do you mean Twilight disobeying orders and studying about Nightmare Moon so she could defeat her? Do you mean the ponies that hold up the sun and the moon? By military force, do you mean the day or the night guards? Have you considered if you combine strong enough magical telekinesis with spears, you might get a rail gun? Or by military force, are you referring to the one Shining Armor is part of, who, along with his wife, can single hoofedly create a shield large and strong enough to protect an entire city?

Come back when you have an actual basis to your argument.

3969228

defeated enemies which no other race could

Changelings were weak individually, Sombra didn't even had any offensive capabilities outside of CRYSTALS! NMM was all talk. Stabby stabby and voila, no more NMM. Discord were the most dangerous, yeah.

ponies that hold up the sun and the moon

they just move them, it's their special talent. it's not like they can actually drop them on you without totaling their whole planet.

strong enough magical telekinesis with spears, you might get a rail gun

that's the same as saying that if you 50x gunpowder to a bullet you get a railgun. it doesn't work that way.

Shining Armor is part of, who, along with his wife, can single hoofedly create a shield large and strong enough to protect an entire city

what was that shield doing? protecting the city from a blizzard? yeah, very useful, apply enough kinetic force and it will shatter, like the changelings did. some explosives and he's out like a light.

3969260

Changelings were weak individually, Sombra didn't even had any offensive capabilities outside of CRYSTALS! NMM was all talk. Stabby stabby and voila, no more NMM. Discord were the most dangerous, yeah.

Changelings didn't need to be strong. If they were in anything but an incredibly close group of friends, they could slice your carotid artery before you even noticed them betraying you. Sombra was powerful enough that he almost single hoofedly took out an entire city, and almost got past its defense system, alone. It also took both princesses to fight him. Night Mare Moon was all talk; why would she want to immediately kill all her subjects? And Dicord's power hasn't even truly shown any limits yet! We don't even know if he can get sick, or if he's just faking it.

they just move them, it's their special talent. it's not like they can actually drop them on you without totaling their whole planet.

Yes, but they could create a continual eclipse in one area by just moving them, starving all the crops of sunlight. They could move the sun slightly closer to one region of their planet. Luna could spin the moon faster, creating powerful tides.

that's the same as saying that if you 50x gunpowder to a bullet you get a railgun. it doesn't work that way.

How can you say "it doesn't work that way" on something you literally can't have knowledge of? You don't know what the spears are made of, and you definitely don't know how magic works.

what was that shield doing? protecting the city from a blizzard? yeah, very useful, apply enough kinetic force and it will shatter, like the changelings did. some explosives and he's out like a light.

The changelings had to bash an entire army against the shield continuously, while their queen sucked away Shining Armor's power and made him generate a weaker shield. Only when Shining Armor was practically brain-dead were the rest of the changelings able to get through.

Yeah, their shields probably couldn't stop a nuclear bomb, but I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped some pretty strong directed explosives.

3968319

Okay, I published another chapter. What do you think?

Twilight Sparkle and Discord swapped roles, better hoof over that element now Sparkle.

Twilight, stop what you're doing and think. Lyra is right and so is Discord. If you continue to do this, you'll have nothing left

3969341
Meh wasn't unexpected, there were multiple times in the show where one or another element really acted out of character.

I'm glad you have Lyra being smart about this and I loved her lesson


3969341

It doesn't seem too OOC, does it?

I wasn't trying to make Discord good, just overly protective of Fluttershy; he doesn't want her innocence/kindness destroyed.

Twilight did kind of swap roles though. She did go kind of evil in Lesson Zero too though... I don't know.

:fluttershbad:

3970139

Thanks! :twilightsmile:

3969459

Twilight can't hear you from the comment section. :pinkiecrazy:

3969260

Did I scare you away with my essay like response? If so, I'm sorry. I do appreciate constructive criticism, and your comment helps me understand why people may not like my story... but I also love having debates.

3973465

I know she can't, that's why I'm trying to relay it to Pinkie Pie:pinkiehappy:

3973493

I'm sorry, but I don't know if she heard you. Maybe if you commented harder? :trollestia:

But--and this could be a spoiler depending on how things go, so read at your own peril--I think Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense, specifically the 'Doozy' one, will probably warn her if anything really bad happens.

Poor poor Celestia, stuck with your narrow world view.

I like how, in spite of the fact that the human is a nearly perfect human, he is still terribly inconvenienced, and thus he avoids being a Gary-Stu. Good job!

I bet this all going to backfire against Twilight.

:trixieshiftright:I bet the Humans that attacked the ponies were the mongols.

3983272

Nope, that wouldn't match the timeline. The story is set in or around current day. Don't worry though, I do have a group picked out...

3982246

Thanks! :twilightsmile:

3982298

All I can say is: something could happen... :trixieshiftleft: :trixieshiftright:
That should maybe give you an idea of what might, but possibly wont happen.

3986485
3987755

But what about all the good ponies that are fighting for humanity? :fluttercry:

If Twilight is not destroyed during the debate, I'm calling bullshit.
Anywho, this is pretty good so far! Looking forward to the next chapter.

3995560 ya sorry trying to build up theories and Lyra said the the Romans were there and helped the Griffins overcome a great famine

hahahahahahhaah the historians are not siding with twilight yeeeeeesssss¡¡¡¡¡

This is a really interesting story that's for sure!
Though I'd really like to know how the hell Dom and claire even got here...:rainbowhuh:

Clair is human, so she knows more about humanity than any of the ponies against her. Twilight will probably go overboard with racism, and lose the debate.

I have a feeling Luna will help Clair out.

Wow. That chapter kind of surprised me. Though I think that Twilight might be a little OOC, I can understand why she's acting like that (a little). Also, Lyra's lesson reminded much on the Jane Elliott brown-eyed/blue-eyed experiment I learned back in my sociology class. Thumbs up for that!

-W.S.

I can already feel Murphy's Law going into overdrive.

So far so good

That phone must have pictures on it, and those pictures give her an edge in the debates. Or she can record Twilight be racist and show it to the crowd.

3995587

Well, I don't know if she'll be destroyed, but I'll try to make the debate a good show.

3995865

Oh, don't worry about it.

I am trying to make this historically accurate, so some things might seem a bit obscure. Just warning you if you guess Vikings, and it's the Marklars or something, and you're like: "Who the fuck are the Marklars?"

3995896

I have a few ideas in mind for that...

3997058

Well, that one pony was more of a guard, but they all seem kind of close to me... I don't know...

3998623

Thanks! :twilightsmile: "Jane Elliott brown-eyed/blue-eyed" test was actually an inspiration for Lyra's lesson.

4022434

Well, not everything's going to go right. Though I guess I am screwing over my main characters a lot... Should I go a little easier on them?

...Nah...

4022447

Thanks. :twilightsmile:

4022451

Depends what's on it. On my phone, I have a couple pictures of my friends, 20 pictures of whiteboard, some landscape porn from my jogging routes, and 50 pictures of the same toilet... :pinkiecrazy:

Make of that what you will...

4022495 I'm going to say according to those pics, you party hard
