7362354 Honestly, from the way this story is going, I don't see a chapter not ending dismally. Heck they'd be far better off if the rest of physics kicked in, at least they'd die without too much pain. After all, our bodies at that size wouldn't even be able to process air, let alone the pressure would cause us to inflate and explode upon exposure too it because it would be like stepping onto the moon in a t-shirt and shorts, that or maybe I'm mixed up and the gravimetric force would just crush them outright, either way the ponies would just find strange red dots all over the place which upon testing would of course allow them to figure out the rest of that story.
If we're going to apply real world physics to this, then not only would they be too small to process oxygen, they'd be too small for regulate their own temperature and would freeze to death; of course, this wouldn't matter in the slightest to them because at that point the substantial size difference in their brain would effectively leave them brain dead. Which makes the matter of eating--something they would need to do almost ever minute of every day--even more impossible.
For specifics, there are two different scenarios here that need to be brought up; is the space between atoms being removed from the body so that the new size is possible, or are they being shrunk down? If they're being removed, than Humankind would be so dense they would sink into the ground and asphyxiate, as well as the whole freezing, eating, and brain death I mentioned above. Then there would be little holes everywhere.
If the atoms are being shrunk, the body would simply stop working altogether. I don't know enough to say if it would explode or not, but the outcome would be fatal regardless. They came to Equestria via Magic, so perhaps they didn't shrink at all and the universe that Equus belongs in just that much more substantial. Or maybe they did shrink, and the magic is what made their survival possible.
But I can promise that there would be no little red dots for the ponies to find. Even if they did explode, there wouldn't be enough left inside them to leave any evidence of their existence. And, assuming there was, the world is such a busy place that their remains wouldn't stay put for long.
I find it best not to apply too much real world physics in these kinds of scenarios; too many variables and unknowns to take into account that would likely fill several chapters up by themselves.
As I mentioned in my last reply not every chapter will end in death. Many of them will, because the world would not play fair in such a scenario, but since I want to detail every scenario I can there will be chapters that focus solely on surviving the day to day--for future reference, I'll probably tag them as "Adventure."
With that out of the way, I do want to say thank you for the comment. I have no doubt that this story will get its fair share of dislikes simply for what it is, but for those who actually give it a chance I want to hear the feedback, to see what I could do better so that I can avoid making the same mistakes in future chapters. The dark setting is not going to change, and there will be no overarching plot line besides various groups living and--mostly--dying. That's just what this story is. If that's not your style, than all I can say is thank you for at least taking the time to give it a chance.
7368334 I tend not to rate stories unless I truly like or dislike them. So, I'll probably just keep an eye out for a chapter here that ends a bit more positively. Hopefully a pony notices a group or at least an individual and takes a closer look before attempting to squash them.
However, I would also like to point out, that unless one is really preoccupied and not paying any attention, that it is actually pretty easy to spot even ant sized objects as long as they aren't in cover(grass) and particularly if what they are on is a different color than they are, and with eyes that size the ponies should have an easier time seeing them. Let alone that their ears should allow them to pick up the tiny humans speech, heck they probably don't use dog whistles because they'd be just as effective on them. Last point in these tiny humans favor is that if the smaller animals, insects, and such notice them, then those creatures would more likely point them out to the ponies anyway considering how they function outside the Everfree.
They can take notice of Breezies but not hear these humans? Uh...yeah. I really doubt it.
Ahhhh... Well! It seems everyday is a school day, isn't it? Horses, unlike humans, can hear up to 20 hz, and by some crazy coincidence that is bare minimum frequency a human at that size could manage. I didn't know that; it kind of puts wet blanket on the whole "unaware" thing, doesn't it?.
Its a good thing I mentioned in chapter one that the "ant size" was the tallest they got, while others barely reached their knees. If that's too big to keep the vein of these chapters in line with what I was aiming for, then I guess the only thing I can do is do away with the ones that can be noticed completely. The Everfree forest isn't a very forgiving place, if I put the majority of them there then this issue won't be a problem anymore. will it?
You have my word, there won't be any more "ant sized" people in future chapters. Thank you very much for letting me know this was an issue, and don't let it be said that I don't listen to my comment section.
7370012 Well, there goes my hope for a chapter with a more pleasant ending, squashed like these poor people under Starlight's rump.
