'glanced'?
All arguments aside (and I'm sure there wil be), the only problem I see with the 'spanking solution' in this instance goes way back to the return train trip from Canterlot after the Canterlot Cunt Punt. As I remember, one of Berry's 'pro' arguments for herds was that a foal should be punished by a parent that was not angry with the foal. Here, all of the adults are angry with the kidlets... so by her own argument, there is no adult that Berry should allow to punish them.
Just remember: spare the rod, spoil the child... so take them fishing!
Very, very nice discussion ! When you threat to spank a child to much, without doing it, the threat lose his power. I hate doing it with my two children but, sometimes, when they steal an airship, it is nedeed, so the threat works again and I don´t need to actually spank then.
I said "stole an airship" ? Sorry, I meant "when my 3 year old daughter climb the window of my mother-in-law apartament"...
But, lately, the worst punishment I can bring uppon then is the "20 minutes in your room doing nothing of doom" ! My older one, 8 years old, HATES being bored...and my 3 years old hates being alone.

You'll notice that everypony is waiting to cool off before anything is done.
Holly Celly sticks, that ending was priceless! Great job as usual.
I just figured a problem with Bucky´s automatic-kitchen: if they become a sucess, earth ponies will not have the chance to spread "feel good hormones" through their hooves into the food they prepare ! This can ba a long term problem...
6661831
Oh, I am indeed noting it... but I guess the question is how much mad to have is ok? How do they ensure that it is only punishment, and not taking whatever anger they have at the kidlet on said kidlet? Should, say, Bon Bon or Lyra punish Dinks and Piña while Berry punishes Sentinel? I doubt they'd let Bucky do the physical punishment, while he is trustworthy... his mental issues could override at the wrong time which would devestate him.
6661839
I was hoping somebody would notice that.
6661839
That's... a good point. Doubly so since no entity knows about said hormones. On the other hand, there will always be those that insist on using 'traditional' methods. A golem, after all, can not make something with love. (Unless Cady imbues said golem... then it might have a detachable 'rolling pin'. Multitasking!)
So how big is Lugus? Like a puma? A mountain lion?
6661874
Celestia seems to be the only one who knows about it. Though I think Bon Bon is beginning to catch on.
6661893
As I remember, Gilda was a hunter griffin (mid sized), Lugus is bigger than Gilda by quite a bit. He has to be very careful with Yew so that he doesn't kill her when they are having sex. One thrust could kill her.
6661893
Think African lion.
6661898 Bon Bon had some hints ´bout it, and Bucky have in his personal VERY, VERY long list of "things to be ressearched" the whole "earth pony magic" thing to check. He also had a first hoof experience with the direct ingestion of such hormones...I doubt that he did not notice something odd when he licked Berry´s hoofs.
That will be something very interesting to read, when he realizes what earth ponies are capable of, in terms of mental stability !
You know, a recurring theme in this is that the difference in who gets punished and who's hailed as a hero entirely depends on if the 'right' ponies do it.
And something that Berry and Bon Bon need to consider- Are they creating a 'They need to know consequences' environment, or an 'Are you out of your mind, I can't tell my parents about the trouble I'm in, they'll beat the shit out of me!' One?
6662043 Whoohohoho!
Gotta hand it to yew, and boadicea. If i had a gryphon the size of a rhinoceros pissed at me, all you would find of me is the hole i would make in the wall during my escape.

Welcome to reality. It is, and always has been, that way. Kudzu does a very good job of showing that aspect. Just look at history in the 20th Century... if the Allies had lost WWII, then certain events now villified would be considered triumphs and ones who are now considered criminals would be considered heroes.
6661915
On the topic I wonder if, after the discovery of Earth pony hormones they could be collected and used as tranqs to calm down rogue unicorns. Or imagine tear gas bombs replaced with BonBon BO juice and being used to quell riots or dope up unicorn armies. Bucky had no resistance to it, and I imagine Mirrorverse ponies would be even more susceptible.
6662333 Probably no matter how strong they are, they wouldn't be very effective, since booth pegasis and unicorns are too deep in madness. They would, probably, get a lethal overdose (due to the fact that they never have been exposed to such chemicals becore) or just plainly go nuts. Permanently. The mirrorverse earth ponies, in the other hoof, may have some hope of being stabilized a little...
My personal opinion about 'spanking', is as follows.
There is a difference between spanking your child for discipline, and beating your child because you have no business being a parent. As long as you know the difference, so will they.
For me, spanking was always a last resort, and it was always step 1 of a multi-layered punishment. If I got spanked, it was because I did something astronomically stupid, or for outright rebellion against my parents laid out rules. The spanking was then followed by a in-depth discussion on what I did, why I did it, and why it was wrong. This was then followed by around a week of grounding and/or increased chores.
Ive only gotten the belt 3 times, and honestly, I can't even remember how that went, i know that actual punishment was more effective (for bout a week or 2 after [i was raised so sheielded that I didn't really do anything that stupid at all really]) I don't have any kids of me own...
6661912 thank you! I've been wondering his size for ages.
All 5his talk about rebellious foals got me thinking, there is a pretty well set pattern for rebelling leaders in the Chase. Luna refused to end the night. Sombra, Lord of Winter refused to end the winter. So what happens when Cadance reaches the rebellious stage of growing up? Will she refuse to end the LOVE? Because I'd back that coup.
6663894 I don't think the creator gets that down to earth thinking. Given that he seems to have weakness given that he submitted to his own curiosity, one can conclude that he has a selfish personality with little love, mainly because he treats his 'daughters' like shit. So, since he can't humble himself, he leaves an ever growing blind-spot wide open. His own arrogance will be his undoing. Calling it right now.

Nappa, what does the scouter say about his power level?
IT'S OVER 9000!
Why are the children being punished for doing the right thing?
I laughed hard at that part. Soon every parents want a machine like that to spank foals for hours.
Run foals, RUUUUN!!! Bucky have betrayed you!
its confirmed. bucky will start the fallout equestria series. Hes already making Mr. Handy!
6664186 They aren´t punished for doing the right thing, but ´cause they did the wrong thing in order to do the right thing. You know, the whole "steal an warship" thing ?
6664186
Because, none of them knew they were doing the right thing at the time, they did the wrong thing that turned out to be the right thing by accident.
As such, they have to be corrected for their action.
Hehehe this was a fun chapter.

Lyra trotted up the steps toward Bucky's office with a smile on her face. Berry had made the stallion a sandwich, as he was forgetting to come inside again and missed lunch. Lyra paused a moment outside the door when a familiar cackling drifted through the closed portal. Steeling her nerves she opened the door and stepped through to see bubbling vials and beakers throughout the room with tubes flowing this way and that to connect them all.
The cackling continued as Bucky held a glowing pink sphere aloft. "AT LAST! IT IS COMPLETE! I DUB THEE BON BOMB!!!"
Lyra stared with wide eyes and a creeping sense of dread. "Oooooooh... Shite..." She felt her nethers clench.

The number that i got on the reply that shows up before a person's name shows up is 6666663. Just thought i'd let you know.
6664186 It's because they disobeyed. They snuck off in the middle of the night. They needed to be there to claim victory over Sombra, HOWEVER, at the same time they DID steal an airship. They DID get Discord to return to his bad ways to cover their tracks. Hell Sentinel's griffon girlfriend stole a GUN. They TERRIFIED their parents. The way they went about it was not very good. Even the foals agreed and that was why they were going to accept their punishment.
I remember having to go pick a switch once. My mother told me "dont you fucking dare pick a small one either!"
I, being the smartass I am/not knowing what size 'small' was, pulled a giant branch off a tree. It was somewhere around 4' long with about 2"-3" in diameter. She looked at me with the "the fuck is that and how did you aquire it?" face, and instead of switching me, she made me smash down a bunch of dead trees in our yard to put my "destructive nature" to good use. It kinda backfired because i loved it.
For those of you wondering what i did, i bumped the side table and didnt catch our leg lamp before it toppled over and broke.
Then I yelled "dammit, not the leg lamp!"
I will never forget that day
I have to say, this entire Fellowship arc and the aftereffects has been one of my favorites of this entire series! Aaaah, makes me sad I have less then 100 chapters to go. But then I have the rest of Kudzu's prolific library to read and other Read Laters that have been piling up while I've been devouring this. So good!
This is one of the few chapters that made me cackle like a neurotic unicorn. GJ
