Twilight Sparkle and Anon the Human converse on the differences of their two worlds. One thing leads to another, now Anon must prove the worth of this college degree.

Tagged as Teen for inappropriate language.
Tagged as Alternate Universe for breaking cannon, and some characters being out of character.

You are Anon, a human living in Equestria. Your good friend Rarity has suggested, or rather forced you, to work at the Ponyville Day Spa as a masseuse. This won't get awkward, right? Right? Right?!

Anon is dragged into Equestria by the effects of a mysterious idol belonging to Discord. He is soon discovered by Princess Celestia, Twilight, and Fluttershy, without any memory of how to speak or write clearly, or his past. Fluttershy then volunteers to watch over Anon until the princesses decide on further action. What follows is Anon's attempts at making a new life for himself alongside Fluttershy and her friends.

Featured as of 11/13/2017- Holy moly! A hearty thank-you to everyone who has joined me for the story so far, and a warm welcome to everyone who has yet to hop on board. Enjoy.

Edit as of 2022: Marked as cancelled as a courtesy to anyone who finds this. Between grad school and depression, I lost what direction I had to keep up with the story as intended. There isn't any intention to keep working on it, but I can't bring myself to delete it outright. Please take it as you will, and accept my sincerest apologies that it took so long to make clear.

Idea was given from a story on Reddits r/HFY. Story has also changed course and no longer reflects the singular story, but now many from r/HFY.

They say the being in the Everfree is what you really have to be careful of. With an ax and blood lust, many who entered did not leave. Rumor says the beast can jump to incredible heights, is extremely strong, and is very fast.

The Lumberjack has been living here for ten years and he's made a life for himself deep in the forest, away from the natives. He has territory that the predators wouldn't dream of crossing without permission and he has the resources he needs for a simple life. Too bad everything breaks like paper mache around him.

Caramel decides to promote stallionism at a Wonderbolt performance. In retrospect, bringing Anon along for support may not have been the best idea.

When I awoke in this horrifying and multicoloured world, I thought my life was going to be pretty bad, but I never imagined it would get this bad. Being locked up in a cage, taken from town to town amusing the folk that live there and having a beast of a ringmaster is a living nightmare.

Funny thing is: I'm an insomniac.

Sometimes it's better to be judged by your actions rather than what you are; even if what you are is something never seen before.

But will actions be enough to overcome the fear of the unknown?

Transported to an unknown world for unknown reasons, one man will try to survive long enough to figure out if his lot in life has actually improved or if he was dealt another poor hand in the great game of life.

And considering where he came from, that would be saying a lot.

Can you put a price on happiness? What are you willing to risk to find true love? What is that alien doing over there with all those pizza boxes?

Twilight scans Anon, only to find that he has no magical resistance. If a unicorn uses a charm spell on him, well... He eventually finds peace of mind in the ponies of Ponyville.

On Earth, women might not give such a big fat man the time of day... Things are different in Reversed Gender Roles Equestria though. Mares are attracted to soft, cuddly, and thicc stallions, and one man overshadows everyone by being the biggest and thiccest of them all... And Celestia is sure to fully use it to her advantage.
