Well I'm in love with the story already

WHAT!? I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING ANYMORE! MY EARS ARE FULL OF GODS, I THINK!

Thank you

FOR THE STORY! this is what i was supposed to do but now you made it better Keep goin!

Vinyl gave a little victory prance, followed by throwing her arms around Octavia’s neck and bringing her into a hug. A strictly marely hug, of course. It’s not gay unless your tits touch. Everypony knows that.

Ha, okay

I can't wait to see where this goes!

a good start, can't wait till the next chappy!

Did he say "Who's a good pony, you are"?

So much yes!

looks good so far, I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

upgrdate your rabbit hole

Sounds ... uh. Looks like it.

Yep, I'm interested.

Lets get this straight, us humans aren't space apes, planet of the apes is there for that. Rather us humans are space orcs lol

Oh gods this is hilarious. And rather well written too! Specially liked how well you're adapting expressions. Not gay until tits touch indeed!

There are a lot of memorable (and specially hilarious) passages, such as "Vinyl shivered at the memory of being chased out of a colt’s bed by his mother, brandishing her old army sword.", but this one takes the cake:

“ huz ə gʊd ˈpoʊˌni … ju ɑr ”

This here made me wonder if the ponies have any true idea on how small and cute they are to humans. I mean, a third of the height means they're but two foot tall fluffy balls of adorableness. They trying to be marely must have looked like a diabetes attack for our human. "Predatory presence" indeed!

That does put their size into perspective, though. Are they really that small or was it only Octavia's hyperbole?

Edit: oh, and more soon please?

Nice subtle inter-tribal ribbing.

Yes, perhaps a third is a bit of an exaggeration.

In my mind, adult ponies range somewhere between #5 and #4, with Celestia being close to a #3. So, big enough to have buildings and tools more-or-less compatible with humans, but small enough to pick up and cuddle.

Thanks for reading

thats it 2019 is the year of RGRE. Its a good year.

OMG! This is amazing! I love the world build and Vinyl and Octavia are adorable. I can't wait for the next update and seeing the culture clash these three have. Also the monstercolt reference killed me.

Hmm so 4's tail line, I guess. Crotch/hands tall, perfect for headpats (aww yiss). Cute pines be cute. And likely have tall enough buildings due to pegasi or something like that. There are probably places, such as old time earth pony towns, where the buildings would be shorter.

The ponies still haven't fully realized they're absurdly cute and cuddly for humans, have they?

9411818
I testify that there is no E but RGRE.
I testify that we are the messengers of RGRE.

Nothing, is quite as good as IPA for making it seem utterly alien to tell a pony how good they are.

Noice
This is pretty good, so I'm putting it in my green tab.

We're space apes, not space fungus or space pigs.

9412138
Space traveling thunder monkeys, remember we control electricity

9412231
I prefer warrior scholars as the basic gist

9411773
Hah.
I get that reference.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this story. I’m liking it so far

9411788
Yus, our Anon will stroke and cuddle those marely mares into submission!

9412138
I was referencing a YouTube/reddit series talking about humans being the orcs of space travel ie space orcs lol

Me as I began reading: "Okay, not bad... set up's not bad at all..."
"Hi I'm Anon!"
"... done."

I've never been a fan of this blank reader stand-in. You could just make a character instead, because the moment you give this suited plank of wood any personality at all he's no longer a reader stand-in but a character with no face or name.

9412538
Doesn't need a name in my opinion, I hear anon I think "ah a human stand in". I hear George Michel, Janice Hooper, or any other blatant human name I instantly think "is this another wish fulfillment self insert?" and start feeling dirty. Making it an anonymous human feels less personal and for some fics where the point is human reacts to pony and that's a good thing to me.

9412538
Meh. This is far more well written than most of the stories on this site and self inserts allow for anyone else to insert *themselves* if they want to. Really, I believe that the only problem with self inserts that people have is that they are usually crap. Sure I would probably prefer if the "Anon" crap was not there but I can easily ignore that and enjoy the story, if it is well structured, anyway.

9412538

he's no longer a reader stand-in but a character with no face or name

Yeah, genius, what the fuck do you think "stand-in" means? Go back to reading about Larry or Donovan or the other shitty human in Equestria stories (who all feature human characters that are all suspiciously similar to the authors writing them) who totally aren't self-inserts at all, no sir.

I love the story too.

9412572
I just don't get the point of trying to stop half way while creating a character.

BTW: story needs the Anon tag.

“ huz ə gʊd ˈpoʊˌni … ju ɑr ”

he's an Azerbazjian!

The writing is great, the setting is solid, the characters are fun, and the story is fun. I'm 100% in, can't wait for more.

You good?

I have only one thing to say:

reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/oh-yes.gif

And,
Thank you for posting.

9412894 Yeah, just had to clean my ears out.

Also this story is good.

9412231
I especially love how we're thought of as "machine-worshippers".

If the story is in third person, why doesn't the human have a name?

While the description makes me laugh, Humans are omnivores. Probably won't make a difference from the point of view of herbivores. But, in short, humans will eat most anything. Think of magic mushrooms. "Hey, these mushrooms growing in cow crap look tasty". Or think of how many people died eating badly prepared Pufferfish before they figured out safe way to prepare it.

"He-demon of lust"

I always knew Anon was an Incubus!

9413118
Well, "American Gods" has New Gods like Media and The Internet trying to replace the old.

9412629
I need a "War & Peace" length novel of this.

9412597
While I agree with everything you said, "Anon" being used so much sometimes annoys me. I can put myself in characters metaphorical shoes if they have an actual name.

Well, this is a first. An RGRE fic I actually enjoyed reading.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to inform Satan that tomorrow he'll be driving to work in a snowplough.

Not bad... Interesting world building takes too. I thought I'd read this in green form but considering all the sci-fi details, this is probably new.

Right now it's a little run of the mill without the sci-fi elements, but it does the RGRE stuff well either way. I'd read more.
