... The ease and forgiveness that Tabitha is handling this worries me.
Her tenant forcibly changed her species, and constantly insults her while doing it... and she just cites that there ain't no rule against it.
Is she just as codependent as Alzirius thinks that Razz is? Or is she that desperate for tenants?
And, to be frank, the idea that "oh you're not mad? Wow that's very good" from Spring just seems like manipulative bullcrap. Praising someone for, basically, allowing them to continue to screw with you?
... Centaur?! Called it.
7471521 To be fair, I think that this chapter is making it very clear that Tabitha isn't handling this well, and is simply in shock at the moment.

Interesting times.
This should at least cool Razz's jets, unless his fixation isn't so much bipedalism but a fascination with non-ponies.

Could be. That still worries me, but in a less "things are fundamentally broken" way.
7471521 I was hoping to portray her breaks and shock. She isn't handling anything well, she just tends to walk forward while she's reeling. She was already collapsing and ready to just cry by the end of the chapter, but managers don't do that in front of tenants. She's clinging to what she was taught and to her past as best she can in an impossible situation.
7471540 Fixes applied! Are you also in shock?
Never trust an elf with magic, a dwarf with money, or a gnome with a pipe wrench.
I didn't expect that transformation to be honest... and I'm having a hard time trying to imagine her new form now.
Ohhh... now to see how everypony else especially Razz reacts to her
Poor Tabitha. Spring needs to be delt with I get the feeling that she is upto something far more sinister then we know.

Oh... yeah, that XD
I have seen some art like that on derpibooru. I just never thought about it while reading the chapter.
Well...things have really hit the fan now, haven't they?
The meeting between Spring Breeze and Princess Luna went about as well as I thought it would. Namely, that Spring is too arrogant (with what seems like elf-supremacy) to give Luna the respect that she's accustomed to, while Luna is not willing to let such insults pass (though whether that's a character flaw on her part or not is an open question). I'm not at all surprised that they came to blows, though Luna seemed oddly unrestrained in that regard after noting immediately beforehand that damaging the building was something to be avoided.
I also wonder if Spring Breeze wasn't being slightly selective with her lack of acknowledgment towards Luna. It's true that she's not a citizen of Equestria, but there's another metric by which to judge that she's under Luna's authority, which is that Spring is dwelling within Luna's sovereign territory (e.g. Equestria). If Spring is willing to recognize Tabitha as lord of the residence in which she dwells, is it really that unreasonable to recognize Luna as the lord of the entire land she's now residing in? She might not be her citizen, but it is Luna's kingdom (and her sister's, to be fair).
But beyond that there's Tabitha...poor Tabitha. I agree with her self-assessment: she's become a freak.
Before, she was still a human, just with a glamour that made her appear to be a pony to most others. Even being a pony satyr would have made her essentially a human with a few cosmetic differences. But now...now she's truly caught halfway between both states, and that's going to be difficult to deal with. Not only are there going to be problems with the simple physical adjustments that need to be made (let alone being able to fly now that she actually has wings), but I suspect that she'll be regarded as some sort of mutation by the rest of Equestria. Yes, they'll be as nice as you'd expect ponies to be, but still...there's a reason it's called "Biped Con" and not "Centaur Con," after all. I suspect that even Razz will find her current state to lack the erotic appeal that she previously possessed. Before she was an exotic, foreign beauty; now she's likely to fall into the uncanny valley.
Needless to say, I feel really bad for poor Tabitha. A fairly grounded person before, she's quite clearly taken more than she can handle - something entirely believable, given that she's now trapped between human and pony - and is about to come apart completely. Hopefully somepony will help her through this, even if she does look like a monster now.

I suppose shock is an adequate word to use. I still feel awful for Tabitha. Bearing in mind that this is early-in-the-Silververse Princess Luna, I can't be down on her for showing so little empathy for Tabitha's plight and for not taking a more active role in finding some of her friends to comfort her in her distress if Luna cannot provide that comfort on her own.
7471580 Did you mean Satyr instead of Centaur for what she could have become that would have been less jarring? I'm inclined to agree that a pony satyr version of herself would be far less damaging to her psyche and social life. But... As a satyr she would actually be less recognizable as her old self, if it came with the same illusion-busting power.
7471595 I did mean to say satyr; I've gone back and edited my post to reflect that.
I'm not sure how being a satyr would have been less recognizable than being a centaur; between the two, at least the former lets her still sit in her desk chair.
7471665 Most ponies have only seen her pegasus form. As a satyr, the similarity is close to 0.
As a centaur, she literally is the pegasus... with extras.
7471667 I think there's a misunderstanding here. I wasn't referring to how similar or dissimilar she'd look to other ponies; I was referring to how easy it would be for her to adjust to her new body. In that regard, specifically, I think that being a pony satyr would be easier to handle.
Insofar as other ponies viewing her...I suppose a centaur would have more resemblance to a "normal" pony than a pony centaur would, but I suspect that would push her closer to the uncanny valley than anything else.
7471769 We both agreed on that, her having an easier time adjusting to satyr.
Alas, not an option for her.
7471784 Well, yes and no.
While it might be tempting to take this as some sort of irreversible accident, I doubt that Tabitha will forget that this was something that was deliberately done to her (even if the effect was disrupted), rather than being an act of God. To that end, it's hard to imagine her not making some attempt at leveraging Spring Breeze to try and fix this.
Now, that might not be possible - Spring said, "You're not done, and never will be. The magic is ruined." - but Tabitha should at least make the attempt to have her do so, or at least find some way to ameliorate the effects. While it might not happen immediately, since she's still recovering from what's happened to her, it'd be awkward if she just took this lying down without any attempt to fix it.
7471865
Even if it were possible, the fact is that I don't think that Spring would actually agree to it. In her mind, I don't think she believes her behavior was even somewhat inappropriate, much less something she needs to make up for.
Although she did realize that Tabitha would be angry, and was willing to accept a fairly low punishment. I can't tell if this is her recognizing any wrongdoing other just understanding some consequences in this case.
I am not sure what leverage that Tabitha could use to actually compel Spring to do anything... Spring has shown that she can be persuaded, but I think counting on that persuasion to do what Tabitha hopes is a bit of a long shot.
If Discord would really love teh place, and Luna wants smeone with magic to move in to keep an eye on Tabitha, will we be seeing Sony on Monday?
Sony, MiniDisc, ord?
It's kinda sad seeing bad things happen to a favored character
But, it's not like i can do anything about it

After chasing my thoughts around in my head for most of the morning, I also hope that we start to learn a little more of the situation with Spring and the other tenants. As it stands we know, speaking to their motives, a great deal about Tabitha, a fair amount about razz, and practically nothing about Spring and the tenant on the second floor. We've seen them do things but with very little insight as to why.
Hopefully there will be at least a little progress in that direction in coming chapters.
7472074 I don't think that's unreasonable, but the veil will be tugged back with time.
Some things have been learned about them, but not enough. When is it ever enough?
7472011 The story continues to be interesting, I hope. This isn't a tale about watching Tabitha suffer.
I really wasn't expecting that. To be honest, it seems a bit extreme to turn her into a centaur. While I don't think that Razz, Coco, and some of the other friends she has would judge her or treat her differently after some adjustment, I do think that her being a centaur is going to make things more difficult socially due to the fact that the only other centaur Equestria has seen is a monster.
7472346 Most ponies have not met that 'other' centaur yet.
Seems Tabitha's shock protection is about to run out.
If Spring's magic was unfinished (which is typically extremely dangerous and can have severe issues if interrupted improperly), what was her intended form? Interesting. In any case, she's effectively gone off the stage for now, so let's get expiring the new bod!
Having just finished with Silver we wonder just what Luna thinks of these "humans"...
Keep going! ;)
7472734 I bet you could guess!
7472982 spoilers!
centaur? I did not see that coming. and at the same time I am more than a bit jealous.
*blinks*
... Well, that happened. Time to see what happens as she actually breaks down. (And for what it's worth, I felt like you were portraying her shock and whatnot fairly well. When you've been trained from a young age how to manage something, be an owner, etc, there's certain things you just sort of do on auto-pilot, and that's continue moving forward until you collapse. It just took a moment where she *wasn't* dealing with her tenant(s) where she could actually start to collapse.)
7507923 Sorry, forget that part, was late at night so fatigue made me a bit passionate when seeing events repeat like in your previous work and of others.
Why is it so hard to find stories of humans trying to continue on in life, without being transmogrified in some way, shape or form? :T
That! That right there is the very reason you should avoid Fae like the plaque! Their inability to comprehend anything Not-Fae allways makes them fuck everyones life up beyond the point of saving.
Lo siento, este capítulo fue tan pero tan malo que ya no hay intenfion de swguir la historia.

7753091 You lost me. How do you read an entirely English story... then comment en Espanol? I don't grasp the concept.
You're a hermaphrodite, aren't you Tabitha? Spring thought you were sexually interested in Coco, an earth pony mare, and Razz, a pegasus stallion... She gave you the equipment for both didn't she?
[insert like krabby pattie meme]
7753137 I believe he said this chapter is so bad that he has no intention to finish/continue it. Or in other(proper Spanish) words, "Lo siento, este capítulo fue tan malo que yo no hay intenfion de seguir la cuento."
8071325 Their choice. Hope you're liking it?
Luna! You naughty pony you! Clopping on the door. : trollestia:
