Sounds like you ran into Equestria’s version of Stalin
Sounds like this Anon knows about as much about history and Stalin as any other average American brought up surrounded by Cold War propaganda.
I thought by now most bronies HAVE realized that the only thing Starlight had in common with Stalin is that they share the same first letter of their names. Or are you making your Anon ignorant on purpose?
Aside from that this guy sounds pretty entertaining. Will be interesting to see what happens next.
8673574 Just as a lot of bronies. And by amount of downvotes, I see that majority of readers here are as ignorant.
If SG got something in common with some political figures of that class\period, then closest would be Arkady Maslov or Ruth Fisher (german communists, equalists by their outlook). That's not strict but more realistic analogy, her model is too ideal.
Pony Stalin would be someone who will recognize what SG is doing in Our Town, hit her on the head in proper moment and take her place. Would find that the forked stick is, well, just a stick, then would find some individuals, who would work with them , hiding their marks under the paint. New society would be build based blackmail and on work of those who truly had their marks removed . Or those who afraid to disclose that their marks weren't removed, thinking that majority had them removed. Proper steps to maintain secrecy will be made. They would undermine Equestrian rule, e.g. by causing conflict with Yakyakistan. THAT would be somewhat like Stalin.
Starlight is equalist and Stalin never ever hid the fact that he didn't support that. Starlight is a more successful Old Major from Animal Farm. Her luck that she worked alone and didn't had her Napoleon.
Why is the character called anon if this isn't a second person story? I thought the whole point of anon/anonymous was so the reader didn't have to deal with "their" viewpoint being clouded by someone else's name? Why not give him an actual name?
“Alight girls. I’m going to head on over to Anon’s right now to have what could be a very long talk.
I think you meant "alright"
“I’ve got to give him some extra money to do this, and I will be asking him to quit, or at least ask if he can postpone his job for this, because as you said he’ll need to always be there with Starlight to make sure she doesn’t do anything out of Anon’s control while he’s at work. Plus, now that I’m a princess I don’t need to worry about money because I have access to the royal treasury.” Twilight said while trying to keep her voice even to make it look like she wasn’t bragging. “If this doesn’t persuade him to do it, I don’t know what will…” She said at the end.
Well, if he's like most Anons, just pimp out your friend Rainbow Dash to him and he'll shrug and grumble, but otherwise go along with it.
And she can’t stay in the castle because I am exceptionally busy now that I’m a princess
I can't stop thinking that she only does it because she adores Celestia so much sometimes.
Now I kind of wish Nonny would have played a role in the adventure too, I just need to see a few capable humans again. However maybe he has the "do your shit alone" personality.
They can become the bestest of friends, and you don’t need to worry about her causing trouble with her magic if she gets the ring off because Nonny’s magic resistant!”
ahhh magic resistance, the good old way to ensure they could actually do something. I mean it depens on how the world works they are in anyway. There are more than the humans are weaker thing that could happen if they visit Equestria after all.
Surprisingly, Fluttershy was the one to speak up. “A-are you sure? I mean, Anon is kind of… different himself. N-not that that’s a bad thing of course…” She trailed off and hid behind her mane again, looking down.
I soo hope both of them are akward and this isn't fixing anyone of them. I mean as if they are the real normal, some sort of grey zone while the others are either too good to be healthy or to evil to have a hearlthy mind. When I started here my headcanon thingy for stories was something like this : example:
Harmony Twilight to harmonic
perfectly fine Luna just right after experience her evil side. In some stories this always felt more like characters like her think more like humans or have a good mix like Revan in the star wars world.
Chaotic Sombra to evil.
. It’s only about 20 feet or so wide, so it’ll probably only be effective when he’s in his house.”
I hope she seriously doesn't means that his house gives him the resistance, I want it to be something he just always has in this story.
I just wait for a situation like when Twilight wants to take a look at Starlight, but Anon started to respect her personal space enough to forbid Twilight to just confront her everytime she wants. I guess he could only demand another time for a visit, since someone would need to check in on them once in a while or he would have to write reports more frequently with Twilight only visiting so often.
“Oh this? Nah, I always go around wearing a shitty towel around my waist while at home.
Not sure why it sounds so weirdly like it happens very often that he says shitty towel, why is he even talking like that? It somehow appears as a grumpy respons. Sorry if I maybe sound confused, but for some reason I don't find an explanation as to why he should want to include shitty in that moment.
He smiled at that. “I’m fucking with you Twiggles. I’m always happy to see you, although it was a bit of an awkward time.”
aaahhh he is that anon again...., not especially bad but maybe a bit boring. I mean because we got that personality again.
Anon raised an eyebrow at Twilight, unsure of where she was going with this. “As the Princess of Friendship I can tell these kinds of things. It’s just a feeling in my gut.”
NOPE, after applejacks lie detector and Cadance all knowing love power thing, I won't give twilight a friendship detector as some kind of brain/magic power. I mean that I will try to ignore it and hope they don't speak about that again. I mean she can throw out the map if she can do that herself now.
I hope instead of magic of frienship he make her learn the magic of Starlight and Anon. best buddies who don't care for that shit. I know it always sounds as if I'm against this or that, but honestly I just want something else to happen or to break out of how it usually happens.
I mean it is like everyone gets an interessting idea and just joins somewhere in the middle at some point. You know as if some things just have to happen this or that way.
I think I can like this Anon, even if he has this certain asshole behavior.
okay overall this was a nice chapter, I'm still not sure why I suddenly got trapped thinking about him saying shitty uhhmm whatever it was again.
8671458 I agree with that, but it's just a theory as any other I suppose.
I have to admit I just like that you guys kind of speak your mind against something that is probably treaten like a golden rule here. Mostly because I usually get annoyed by certain things that they just can't let go of too.
8676905 Ahhh I haven't thought about it, but I totally agree and sometimes I would even be happy if they named their human bucket head or something esle, just not Anon again. Trough I have to admit that this time it didn't annoyed me.
8677095 and they usually have the same three or four personalities.
Why use a magic restricting item when you could just remove the horn at the base entirely?
._.
you know twilight could of had that whole converastion shortened to this
hey anon how would you like to earn a thousand bits a week
whats the catch?
you just have to watch this potentaillt dangerus crimminal
meh fuck it sure

There could be the possibility of build up that could be fatal. See some of the fics on that subject.
8671332
cuz she,d stick some tin foil in her head and they would be back to square one.

Just a guess, but perhaps it's the same reason modern police forces use handcuffs instead of chopping off peoples' hands?

News flash: it's a literal joke.

8676905
People just use anon for that format a lot
Lots of other anon fics are third person
As a Russian, I do not care who Stalin is. This is not the best comparison. In general, the beginning of the story is very interesting.
I think you meant "alright"
