John Oliver, was your average joe with his friends. Twenty-seven years old along with his friends, going to Comic-con. He was Thanos, three of his manly friends were, General Grievous, Entity 303, and Rob Lucci. His womanly friends were Rapunzel, Sally (From Nightmare Before Christmas I recommend watching it.), and Supergirl. They were sent to Equestria balance the universe. After a huge war involving the whole world, they were defeated and banished for trying to bring balance to the planet. Now, "Thanos" returned with no weapons or allies, he has to get his Gauntlet and blade, find his stones and his allies, all by himself.

Jake Chen, a tank commander of a ZTZ-96A main battle tank of the PLA 35th tank platoon. While at training, he was friendly-fired. Upon losing his physical body, his soul had somehow teleported into another world full of mythical beings; but their situation is not positive.

For 3 years, Equestria and its allies had been fighting against Grogar and his massive army; technologies advanced quickly; but their levels are at the 1940s comparing to the humans. The teleported commander Jake's soul was transported into a body of a dragon name Qibli (Yes I got it from Wings of Fire), he's also a tank commander. A new soul that came from a world with highly advanced technologies, how would he change the tide of the war?

"Maus? King Tiger? Jagdtiger? I dare you to challenge me, but the result aren't gonna be pretty!"
----- Qibli

My name is Eric. Me and my sister prepared for Comic-Con this year, the Covid happened. So we decided to put our costumes on and post pictures of us on Facebook. But we needed to finish them, so looking online, we found the helmet I needed and her contacts on a unusual website. After putting them on we found ourselves in Equestria, but it's not that great. Ponies are calling us monsters and trying to kill us. It's time we take the fight to them.

Subject 0976, or known as Apex, is a man-made Yautja, he is made to replace soldiers in US Army. Apex was made from many predators DNAs, including the Yautjas they caught and killed from the past years. But when a experiment went wrong, Apex escaped the facility. After an intense fight, Apex was blown up by a bomb. When he woke up again, this warrior found himself in the magical land of Equestria, but our favorite ponies and their new made friends were fighting Storm King's army in Canterlot. Apex can either choose to ignore this, or to help them...

[Rationalfic Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced]
You’ve read the stories of people from Earth being “Displaced”: Their bodies are changed, their minds are warped, and they’re thrown across the multiverse, to whatever world and timeline their supernal "Displacers" decide upon.  Well, this story isn’t one of them...

...because when they tried to remake me, I didn’t let them.

A Rationalist Horror story, in which an Occultist from some version of Earth (implied to be the World of Darkness) undermines her own Displacement and ends up as a Self-Modifying Construct. Scientific Inquiry, Philosophical Debate, Rational Discussion, Body Horror, and Existential Hijinks ensue. Themes, Concepts, and Style inspired by HP Lovecraft, Elizer Yudkowsky, Gordon R Dickson, Edgar Allen Poe, Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein), Dresden Codak, World of Darkness, and Friendship is Optimal.
^{Front page on JUL 28th, AUG 12th, OCT 30, and every update after that.}

Your story breaks the shitty norm that most displaced stories have in common by being an 'actually interesting story' instead of a powertrip for a horny teen.

This is like brain porn. My head hurts but in a good way.

Author’s Notes

I often find Displaced fics to be more often Miss than Hit with me. Often, they're generic, poorly written, or just do not do anything worth reading with the concept.  This is an experiment to trt out a few other concepts which aren’t used often, even by me, including some which directly subvert Displaced as a genre, and maybe even come up with some advice for those authors. This is also a crossover with the upcoming Dragon: The Oroboroi Chronicles, a World of Darkness rulebook which I lead the development team for.

I hope you all enjoy this, and I implore you to leave some feedback in the comments section: I'll experimenting with a few uncommon concepts here, and I'd like to know how people feel about how they're coming across. :3

FAQ

Because people keep bringing these things up...

Horror/Dark Tags

I've had multiple people ask "how bad does it get?" Note the lack of the "gore", "sad", or "mature" tags or anything like that. Yes, there is blood and death at some point in this story, but the real horror of this story comes from the philosophical and scientific quandaries the characters go through: this is "intellectual horror", not "visceral horror".

Length

In the interest of this NOT becoming one of those long, sprawling fics, I plan to keep this limited to a manageable 10 chapter limit, not counting Prologue and Epilogue. No one wants to read something that long, and I'd rather not be stressing over this 6 months from now.

Sequel

The Sequel is already in the works, with scenes already written. It will be a more episodic story revolving around world optimization and interplanar hijinks.

Crossovers

To be clear, I do plan on having the main character make one of those "Token" things, but as they often get in the way of actual stories, that won't happen until the end of the story. The Sequel will be crossover-heavy.

Zeek was an infamous friendless prankster parkourist, he'd climb up to really high places and either defile something by spraypainting on it or drop something gross on someone. Zeek was also a Conduit Positive, He never learned what his power was cause he was drugged soon after the D.U.P caught him, he was rescued by a group of Conduits but still never learned anything about his "power".

But all that would come to an end when he is presented with a choice, either give up his life to save a child's or just run away from the scene. Zeek chooses the former and dies after saving a kid from being run over by a D.U.P truck. Zeek thought it was over until he opened his eyes to find he was reborn in a world known as Equestria, as an anthro colt and Equestria's first Conduit in an orphanage, with all his memories but still didn't know what his power was.

As he grew up, around age 9, nearing 10, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna came to the orphanage looking to adopt a foal and ends up picking Zeek for his 'Uniqueness'. What kind of life awaits him in the world? Will Zeek ever adjust to life as the new Prince of Equestria? What will his power be when it awakens? Will he get friends in this new life? How many nobles will he punch in the face? Let's find out...

A/N: Thanks to new editor; Jason Monroe

Inspired by the song Bismarck by the amazing band Sabaton!

When the Allies sunk the great battleship Bismarck, they thought it would be gone for good, left at the bottom of the Atlantic to rust as the Second World War raged on. What they didn't know was that the ship never made it to the ocean floor. Instead, the hulking battle machine was transported to someplace entirely unknown to mankind, with its sole survivor taken along for the ride.

The Gryphon Empire had been expanding its borders for centuries, gaining power and influence over the majority of the planet while at the same time stretching themselves ever thinner. Now, with food shortages threatening to tear the Empire apart, they look towards the only hope of salvation they have, Equestria.

Yet the pride of a predatory race would never allow for them to stoop to begging or trading for what they need. In their very blood there is a cry for war that cannot be denied if they are to save all that they have built. However, only a fool would dare go against the magical might of the pony nations, even taking into account the abysmal state of their military. Yet all of that changes when the hulk of a massive war vessel appears on the shores of their homeland, with a very strange pony the only being aboard.

Will Equestria fall under the power of one of mankind's most infamous warships? How will our lone human-turned-pony react to being in both a new body and world? You'll just have to take a look inside and see for yourself.

Thank you to my new Editors Grau and Helping Hoof for their help in making this an even better book for all of you to enjoy.

This is the Theme Song

[Displaced] How long as it been? How long has it been since I was frozen in time, since I arrived here? I don't know. But I do know, that this place needs my help, and as a Crusader. I will do my duty. My name was lost, but my title... Is Reinhardt. And with my ruined armor, and my deteriorating hammer, I will protect the innocent. I will save this place. I am... The Crusader, of Equestria.

I do not own the images, nor Reinhardt, or the song, nor MLP.

An experienced thief dies before his time, leaving a mess that God must fix, the solution God thinks of is reincarnating him in the My Little Pony universe with the power of The Gamer.
