Well, he only has four.
From a spider golem's perspective, that's not enough legs. They have eight.
Congratz on 1 mil words.
May god have mercy on me...
I'll read this later.
Surprise, I'm reading it now.
Well damn. I wonder what Bucky will have them do... Maybe something truly terrible like scrubbing the floors, cleaning the rooms, or even the worst thing ever: sit in a room alone with Pinkie. Nah, that last one is too harsh, even for Bucky... right?
Eye fownd uh tie-po.
Well, when I was home...
I love how everypony was so casual about the idea of making them walk the plank. though since Rumble can fly, that wouldn't do too much good.
5389596
Rumble can't fly that well. Plus, duct tape. Little pegasi don't get to fly away from trouble so easily.
"as the fully whiteness".
Enjoying this greatly.

Plus, they all know that Bucky wouldn't hurt another pony. (Though he isn't hurting them, it would be the sudden stop upon reaching the ground that did.) Also, Bucky would never do something like that to foals, he cares for all foals, even changelings and those that have made grave mistakes. (Tourmaline and DT respectively.)
5389606
Coco knew what the score was... and even played along.
Back breaking labour suddenly doesn't seem so bad.
.........attributing her talent for the rainboom was do to abusive military treatment rather than her talent and magic............ fsad bjkfsdlkjkagrfsadjklkja'a 4twe (result of head meeting keyboard)
now it is gonna turn out that fluttershy is half timberwolf, twilight is the result of experimentation, and applejack special talent came from physical abuse from the Oranges........... sighs.
5389612
So... backbreaking labor does not include forcing them into a room with a bored Pinkie, right? Because that seems just a little too harsh for almost any crime.
5389614
Just because somebody makes a bad guess about something, doesn't make it so.
I mean, heck, YOU DO IT ALL THE BLOODY TIME.
comedic reactions aside, definitely extra iffy about that idea. that her talent is a result of ponies trying to break her down mentally rather than her own abilities and force of will.
5389619
Try looking at it from her perspective?
Oh wait, never mind... I shouldn't make this mistake.
Just because she reaches this conclusion doesn't make it so. It just means she associates pushing herself harder, farther, and faster with her athletic conditioning which made her talent possible. Just because she assumes it doesn't mean that it is true.
Does this make sense or do I need to turn on the Hazy Logic signal again?
5389619
Ok, just gunna throw this out there, but militaristic training does a few things. It makes it so that the trainee will follow commands given almost immediately without question, it creates a frame of mind where failure is not an option and if you do fail then corporeal punishment is to be expected, and most obviously it involves muscle building. (If RD had simply sat in her plot for most of her foalhood and never trained, she probably wouldn't have ever done a rainboom.)
Obviously a few things stuck and a few didn't. She usually fights back against any direct orders given to her, she has shown as having a competitive nature and not even thinking of failure as an option, obviously she used corporeal punishment to an extreme earlier but has toned it down quite a lot, and lastly she is probably the fastest pegasus alive thanks to her daily training regimen that was probably introduced during flight school. So... yeah, militaristic training.
5389628 you have done more bizaare and degridary things in this story to be honest than having rainbows aiblities come from that. such as the paradox of the earth ponies being highly competent team players and very physically powerful yet somehow on the bottom rung of ponies simply because they lack more flamboyant abilities.
and making the mane six friendship unable to help them most of the time.
5389645
Only in your perspective.
In Trottingham, the unicorns are mostly slaves and the earth ponies and pegasi rule. The unicorns are kept on addictive drugs to keep them under control. They exist to serve the greater good of society and are controlled by guilds.
All of this will be discussed later. So stop making these assumptions. People have lost patience with you. Every day I get messages asking me to block you.
The problem is all about how you present your opinions... a lot of people offer contradictory opinions and very rarely is it a problem. You actively go out of your way to attack the story, attack the author, (me, myself) and then smugly assert that you are right and you are the only person who is correct. Everyone else is flawed and needs to come around to your viewpoint.
Whether you mean to do this is debatable, but this is how it comes across. And everybody is sick of it.
*clicks on story and reads word amount, spits tea all over computer*
1,000,000+ WORDS?!
5389670
It took a while to get all of the characters, locations, world-building, and themes established. Almost ready for the actual story to get started.
5389676 it didnt't even start yet?! Ah shit, welp looks like I got a lot of reading to do. Heh, never thought I'd read a story with 7X he words of Griffin The Griffin
5389645 then why do you still read it if it has offronted your sensibilities SO greatly. I for one HATE FlashLight (he seemed like he was on the tail trail in the first movie), yet in this case it works. He made it work well, without making Flash seem stalkery, again good sir, AU tag = author's sandbox. Yes we have some gory parts, and friendship isn't deus ex machina, And rape happens, and neglect, and foals have been poisoned by their parents. But this is his story. Please let HIM tell it.
Now Kudzu, I for one am rather happy to see that Rainbow has blossomed into the parent she is. She is learning, and you gave us insight into why she believed that the way she was treating the flock in Ponyville the way she was, was okay. Lack of parentsparents who used wing slaps, and harsh militarized Instruction as the main part of the punishment she did receive.
5389668 So I'm guessing Trottingham is a sort of ponified English Empire? And how they use unicorns... that's actually very intriguing! ^___^ I can't wait to see more of these Old World nations.
5389706 Yeah, I can barely wait to see what Bucky will do when he found that unicorns are under a near slave state, being a slave himself.
Funny thing, there was this little sci fi series based on the 70´s movie "Logan´s Run". Old stuff, dystopic future and such, everyone HAD to die at a specific age in other to keep the world balanced, ´till one of the officers whose work was assure that people dies at the threshold age start to argue with his superiors and such.
Well, anyway, in one of the episodes, while they (the death officer, now a runaway, the woman he should heave killed and a human-like robot) run from the government, they found this village where EVERYONE is happy and there is harmony. Perfect utopy. ´Till they found that any slightest surge of quetioning the local governement is nulllified with the use of "Happy Times": a device is actived and everyone enters in a stupor-like state of pure joy and happiness (I was very young then but, now, it was pretty clear they were in a orgasmic state) and, soon, no more arguings or contrary thinking.
I can imagine something alike will happen in the Trotinghan arc.
5389734 That ought to be amazing. ^____^ And I... think I remember something like that. :/a It's been awhile since I've watched old scifi.
5389614 Enough, lordofmyth. You were being an ass in my stories, and you're being an ass in this one. Just... enough. Please.
I'm not sure how to feel about the addition of corporal punishment to flight camp. It fits the story's theme of disturbing truths lying just under the candy-coated surface, but it feels like a pretty massive retcon. I suspect it's mostly a gut reaction to institutionalized child abuse, especially that "whip the weakness out of her" line.
In any case, Bucky now knows about this, and I can't imagine he's happy. Still, that matter's going to have to be tabled until after the hyperhurricane is dealt with. (Personally, I suspect Celestia would be able to deal with it, but at the cost of demonstrating the world-shaking power she wants the world to forget. And possibly vaporizing a fair portion of the ocean, which leads to all kinds of other problems.)
Looking forward to more. And no one let Coco near any planks.
5389645
Why are you even reading this story? You're allowed to stop, and you're clearly not enjoying yourself.
5389763
The better question is, in regards to corporal punishment, is how prevalent was it? Was it reserved for a few bad apples? Was it common? Widespread?
Quite a few of the other pegasi don't have the behaviour problems that Rainbow Dash does... so one must question how much of a problem this really is.
Just something to think about.
5389668 if i was attacking the story, I would say that THIS IS GARBAGE AND HAS TO CHANGE.
what I am saying is that some of themes are questionable and I am pointing them out. or that there is missed potential. and so on.
probably shouldn't have made that exaggerated reaction first....... it was intentionally exaggerated.
5389763
She would insist that Bucky grab them after about five seconds of free fall.
5389763 I wasn't talking about the idea that this kind of stuff is happening. less disturbed in comparison because more often than not the Chase goes for the dark. aleit lately dark for the sake of dark at times.
I was more concenered that the origin of her power, and the thing that linked the mane six together, was the result of that abuse she suffered. it would be thematically questionable if the thing that links the mane six was born of such a thing.
maybe it wasn't but it is a disturbing idea.
I can't actually believe I'm agreeing with fucking lordofmyth on something, but I have to say I'm not fond of that, either.
The entire reason that RD is special isn't because of who she is, it's because the ponies in charge of her repeatedly beat the shit out of her until she turned into the übermaresch? It honestly feels like a bit of a slap in the face to her character.
By this logic, any Pegasus who ever went to flight camp could do it. If they hadn't decided to abuse Dash instead, we'd have Fluttershy doing rainbooms, too?
It just really doesn't sit well with me.
1 MILLION WORDS?! HOLY SHIT!
5389668 sighs. need to start thinking through these comments. though to be honest I truly can't tell when you are implying something alterior or if it is as it is stated. there are plenty of things that are as stated that I have thought alterior, and visca versa.
thought that whole earth pony concept was simply that tribalism thing going on, belief over reality that earth ponies were weak..... it turns out that is the reality in this story...
just don't know what you have AS fact and what oyu don't. dark and more twisted thigns than the fact rainbow dash's rainbooom being born of abuse have occurred in this story.
I always expect cameos, this is fanfiction we are talking about!
5389908 Dude, dude.... you don't even know. XD
The CMCs and their +1 got caught before they even had a chance to get into trouble of their own making.
5389897
She was motivated, sure, but she had the raw potential. She had raw talent. Skill. Dedication.
She is what she is because she made herself to be that. Plenty of other flight school degenerates that never made a rainboom.
Dashie had the conditioning to help her out, but it is not the reason why she 'boomed.
Something is missing from the sentence, but I'm not sure what you wanted it to say.
Coco: Rainbow Dash? How far would you have to fall to hit terminal velocity?
Sweetie: We'll work! We'll work!
Coco: ...I thought so.

There are different ways of attacking a story, what you do is insist that your own perspective and ideas are the only right ones and you won't admit it when the author of the story, not you, knows what he's talking about. I don't think I've ever seen a positive comment coming from you, if you despise this story so much that you are willing to develop a god complex over it then quit reading it and making people irritated in your general direction.
Rolling laughing.
I cannot help but feel this chapter is both figuratively and literally the calm before the storm.
reason
5389942 I know, and i wanna know, how long did it take to read this? Months?
Rumble's logic about pirates is flawless.
5390084 to be honet it is mostly my comprehension of the chase i work on. people keep on saying my own headcanon but my headcanon and this story is incredibly incompatible. more so it is more often than not execution and or use of themes. the only idea i've outright objected as a concept is that whole discord and fluttershy fusion thing. it makes no sense. the rest were questions of execution and themes.
gotta make sure my thoughts are fully thought out though.
shadow-link so their worried parents would know
off at the wall
5389614 Oh for fuck sake! What the fuck is wrong with you? How hard is it to understand everyone has their own headcanon?
5390392 See, you even fucking admit it here! Why don't you just shut the fuck up with all of the bullshit you're spouting? Only thing you've objected to is the FlutterCord situation?
All but ONE FUCKING COMMENT of yours has been you objecting over something in this story.
Now, I say again, shut the fuck up and let us enjoy this story!

Discord is a creature of chaos, I believe that all draconequii are in this universe, did you think that they did something nice and normal like laying eggs or growing writhing lumps of flesh in their abdomen for a few months? Come on, this is Discord we're talking about. If Rising Star could be REborn as a fae creature from eating an acorn, I'm pretty sure that Discord and Fluttershy's foal doesn't have to go through a normal birth.
5390637 if it had to do with her pregnancy i might buy it. hell if it turns out something is behind all of this because the baby is in fact dagnerous to her and is trying to keep her safe, more so.
if it is simply because of their relationship, then i am left befuddled. i am not really understanding why it is happening. she put kindness into chaos, changed it. is the change impermanent and has to remain, meaning she failed to make a long standing change? would discord cease to value the lives of the ponies if fluttershy was removed by either tragedy or time? or is the loss of her 'humanity' and self supposed to be a sign of success?
i am left very confused if that all is the case. i can see what kudzu is overall doing, dark parallels of of the key lessons, albeit i find myself questioning what he is focusing on with them. yet fluttershy's part seem like the opposite of her lesson of nuturing yet knowing when they must go for their own good.
