Dear Princess Celestia,
Stupid is alive.
The Elements did not disintegrate him as I initially thought, they instead seem to have sent him forward in time. And that’s not all, he seems to have gained the ability to digest actual food. (A changeling eating normal food!) He is also unable to transform, but says he has been like that since he hatched, so it seems the Elements are unrelated in that aspect.
Stupid has been very cooperative thus far, though I’ve still taken measures to ensure he doesn’t try anything funny. Anon suggested running a rope through his leg holes since he can’t transform, so we’re doing that for now.
This is all so new and bizarre, but the implications could permanently alter Equestrian society as we know it. If we can somehow isolate the appetite modification from the temporal displacement, we might be able to use the Elements to forcibly remove the changelings’ primary motivator for conflict. There’s a high chance they won’t all be willing at first, though I’m positive they’ll thank us in the long run. Even if they don’t, it’s for the greater good.
But I’m getting ahead of myself, we can discuss this in detail later. For now, I’m requesting a military escort for myself and Stupid from Ponyville to the Mage’s Tower. I will not let him escape, Princess. There is so much we can learn from him.
Your faithful student,
Twilight SparkleP.S. - Stupid wishes to write to you, so expect a letter from him shortly after this one.

In what way could holding a sentient being against their will after altering a fundamental part of their biology, and then studying and (presumably) experimenting on him to discover the source of the alteration, with the end goal being to use the same methods to forcibly remake their entire race into an image you see as acceptable, be seen as dark?
In all seriousness though, this definitely seems like a 'Road to Hell' situation, and I'm kinda surprised Anon isn't speaking up about it.
Well, shit, Stupid is fucked.
Is this a "final" solution for the changing problem Twilight?

You know, I COULD rephrase that to make it humorous... But that would be picking the low hanging fruit, so I won't.
If he's not Fucked Stupid yet, he soon will be.

Given that Twilgiht is the one writing this and not Anon, she's probably figured out that he's been giving a little more detail in the letters about her escapades than she wants. She probably wrote this to keep him from adding more than she wants.....though she's already done that without realizing it.
The world in three words.
And to think I forgot about this story. I'm back, y'all!

Just because the view of good and bad is subjective doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do what you believe is right. From Twilight’s perspective, stopping her people from being eaten by monsters is more important than having to tell victims’ families “Sorry, I could have prevented this, but I’d have to do something bad to the monsters’, so it’s better your loved one was kidnapped, drained, impersonated, and that you were all fed upon. I’m sure you understand.”
It’s so much better to let yourself, your friends, your family, and countless strangers be hurt than to do anything “bad” to the ones doing the hurting, after all. Protection is evil!
