I'm with Bon Bon on this one. Though, as his mother, shouldn't she have the authority to tell them to quit sedating Sentinel? I'm fairly certain Bucky will throw a fit at least if he gets in a state to realize it's happening.

They stopped once Bon Bon put her hoof down.
Remember, this isn't human society or the USA.
But yes, a mother's rights are fairly universal.
Something tells me their plan to put Bucky on their side of the firearms issue is going to backfire. I feel he just had a very intimate lesson in how effective they are, barring magic glass skulls and cloaks of protection.
Something needs to strike a balance with magic, and semi molten lead jacketed with copper is good enough.
Deaths cloak... Sounds familiar but i cant remember what it does
Moar! We always want moar!
Yes, let's piss off Bon Bon right now.
However, I am more curious about that cloak...
5256455
I'm also expecting him to jump on firearms as a use as well. Seeing the Fates reactions to that would be hilarious.
I get the feelig that Bucky is going to suppor firearms even more now, claiming them the grand equalizers. To allow people to fight on equal terms with strong magicians. my opinion is that the fates have royally screwed themselves.
5256469
So am I. Trying to look up anything I can in regards to Thanatos and the shit he wears in Greek Mythology to try and find out if there is anything special about it besides it being the cloak belonging to Death.
5256481 I mean, seriously, they know he's a stubborn ass that puts actual asses to shame, so shouldn't they guess that a little pain isn't much going to bother him?
The red rider enters shrouded in the cloak of death. somebeing get this pony a great firey sword.
Bucky has an a adequate black cloak I that I think witching hour and tiddlywinks will be a bit jealous of. And if Bucky is a God of war in a universe with thantos and the fates then wouldn't that make him a version of Ares and then celestia and Luna would be Apollo and selene. And then twilight would be hecate and cadence would be aphrodite
5252910 Oh, thank god. Will she ever be relevant to the story?
5256490 First thing that came to my mind was how the cloak of invisibility from Harry Potter hid the bearer from everything, including death. I'm thinking that the latter part may be true here.
Wow... War really should not have to also bear Death's Mantle, that's just being mean. Separation of powers has good reasons behind it.
I get the feeling their plan is going to backfire horribly and Bucky will be all the more determined to have firearms. They've already said they cannot see the outcome of this. They're simply convinced it will go the way they want without actually knowing for certain. So I get the feeling Bucky will be even more determined to have them now.
Doesn't Bucky get into enough trouble on his own without the cloak of Death added to the mix? What, is he going to start seeing the spirits of the departed now? I suppose he'll get a ghost wife at some point?
So War has obtained Death's cloak. Heh heh heh me thinks hijinks will follow. But quick question, other than the fates will any of the other incarnations be making an appearance?
While getting shot might motivate someone to hate firearms, that doesn't mean they necessarily will hate firearms.
& the existence of others that use firearms often justifies someone's own use of firearms.
The Punisher didn't exactly find the need to use antiquated weaponry or super high tech gadgets to enact his vengeance. (Usually).
Hmm... let's see. Bucky is referred to as War, now we have Thanatos, also known as Death... we just need Conquest and Famine and we'll have the four ponies of the apocalypse.
shit... now war has death's cloak... lets put some fuel into the fire and add more power to Bucky...
i sense the cloak will do THINGS... many THINGS... fun THINGS... DARK THINGS
now i must sit and await 331
I very much doubt this will make Bucky hate firearms. If anything, I bet he'll desire them more.
Guess you could say the plan backfired.
Hold on, Thanatos is Death....
If so, and Bucky is War.......Who is Pestilence, and who is Famine?
5256575
Pestilence, not conquest
5256575 I am completely on board with this line of thought! Make it so Kudzu!
Ok fine, Atropos set the minotaur up, close enough.
I am very pleased. Bucky is going to unleash so much hell. Should be fun to watch.
now all we need is famine and pestilence and we will have the full set.
......... i can't but feel more and more that your world feels.......... small overall. everything and everyone is intertwined and while it is detailed it makes the world feel more compact and limited because of it.
it is a well done small world but a small world non the less...........
to further explain. everything is ultimately threaded together, and that is the theme, but it prevents the world from being a more complex entity because of it. much as people complain about alicornifiction, and daring don't, and the non connected villains throughout the series, it has had one major effect.
each of these factors magnified the scope of the world. alicornification means that alicorns are guardians that come into being, kinda like a buddah, and that means more could possibly exist to fight other evils in the world. daring do being real proves that there are in fact other evils in the world that other ponies fight. and the apperaances of villains are justified because the world is so expansive that there is no way all the conflicts are centered around equestria entirely.
put simply as major a player as the mane six are, there are other players working to keep equestria and other parts of theri world safe.
an autonomous world is a larger world. the fates existence especially makes this world less than autonomous and thus smaller as things do not just happen naturally. not sure if it is a criticism or an outright flaw at all, but it is still something distinct........... no it is not really an insult, it just is.
5256645
There are still vast sections of the world left out of control by the equines.
Don't let forced perspective fool you.
The wiki article ´bout Thanatos is a feast of meanings. He/She is related to the desire of dying, to sex and lust, and i found a reference to someone using a sack to hide himslef from death (maybe that´s the reason for the cloak ?).
So many meanings, so much time ´till the next chapter.
5256663 sadly that is not true. whatever happens with the mane six and bucky now would impact the larger world. because it seems likely that miss cosmic pants is manipulating the world towards making bucky into the monster she needs.
I agree with the pale one. Fate is a bitch!
For some reason, this sounds almost as Bucky´s theme:
Artifact Entry:
The Black Cloak (AKA The Cloak of Death, The Mantle of Eternity, The Shroud of Ages, The Cloak of Slumber, or The Cloak of Night)
Supposedly capable of inducing death, life, or simple, calm sleep in anyone it is lain over, this cloak is worn by Death (AKA the Grim Reaper, Thanatos or, apparently, 'Ash Tanto') and enables the Grim Specter to slip past any defense, any wall, and into even the mostly tightly sealed safehouses to administer the final severing of life from the body.
The Cloak's properties are not well-documented, as most necromancers take quite a bit of care not to interact with anyone too familiar with the cloak, as being ratted out by a dead man is a terrible way to die. What little has been pieced together is as follows:
[Perks Granted:]
>Visage of Eternity: The wearer of the cloak cannot be seen by normal mean, and only an avatar or a being who has already witnessed Death may see through this perfect glamour.
>Amortality: While bearing the Sinister Mantle, one's body cannot die, nor is it truly alive. This state of 'not-living' is not undeath, and does not prevent any bodily functions, aside from aging. As long as the mantle is worn, the wearer is safe from any attack, disease, or poison.
>Final Breath: Every breath held while wearing the cloak is able to be held indefinitely, enabling the wearer to avoid the awkward state of drowning or getting materials such as dust or flaming oil into the lungs. After all, the cloak doesn't stop annoyances, nor does it stop the resulting coughing fits associated with having a flaming ball of lamp-oil in one's nose.
>Death's Door: The wearer of the shroud may pass through any wall or obstacle with the ease of stepping through an open doorway. The wearer's own perceptions and force of will prevent there from being awkward 'falling through the floor' and 'leaning through a wall by accident' problems.
>A Path Once Tread: If, by some turn of events, the wearer of the mantle is slain, all of their life force and their soul are immediately jaunted directly to the afterlife, safely away from any 'upon death' traps or the like intended to cage a fleeing soul or life. This is to allow whoever bears the mantle of death to be collected and dealt with personally by Death is the cloak was stolen, or to be guided to their personal afterlife accommodations if it was a gift or payment.
This item is considered a Legendary artifact, and does not have a sell value.
Goody. Bucky Bitters and the Deathly Hallows.
Was AJ the one trying to pull Bonnie away from him?
Or what else did apple horse say about Senty?
Is it really that good to trigger the hate for something in Bucky? Ladies, I hope you have a lot of foals in store to level it out with love.
Everyone wants Bucky as their personal war instrument, even the Fates. The difference is that they don't want him ascended.
something tells me that bucky in fact won't wage war on firearms and because of the very good reason of that it is an impossible war to win.
it is KNOWLEDGE. to destroy knowledge you must kill all who knows even a little of the concept of it then you must forbid all research in the field with extreme prejudice. and that is only the problem of killing the knowledge itself and not the mountain range of corpses that would need to be made before that. as kudzuhaiku has said repeatedly, magic is unfair. other nations that doesn't have magic will always try to find some offensive power to rival it and firearms is the natural evolution of warfare (that we know of). if he was to do this then he would have to subjugate the minotaurs and diamond dogs and boldly say to the world "we have the magic, we make the rules. threaten that status quo and you die" which is not a healthy foreign policy.
5256671 There's also the tale of the hallows in the Harry Potter series. While it is altered slightly it is still roughly the same as one of the tales told by The Brothers Grimm, an actual story of three brothers where each was given an item for managing to cheat death except it's a sword or something instead of the wand. Deaths cloak was the ultimate prize in that because of what you could do with it. Morta's comment on what "War", as they now call him,would do with such a cloak is a prime example of that. In the Grimm tale, the third brother with the cloak cheated death for Decades, hiding away when death came to find him. Bucky could do similarly here and hide from Thanatos when he came to find him.
5256778 I´ve found another reference, in an obscure book (for me, at least) called "To Save the Humans". But it is pretty much the same thing: a cloak used to hide its user, only that, this time, it is used for more...carnal needs. Wich makes a lot of sense for Bucky.
5256728
Applejack was the one shouting that Sentinel had gone feral.
And in her defense, he had.
The Fates are definitely bitches, and Thanatos is a prankster? interesting
5256807
I released the plague again! Haha! I'm hilarious!
5256798
As I hoped.
The 'apple horse' was just in case that her country quipping had shown again offscreen.
5256708
I'm leaning more towards this:
Very angry, very dangerous, especially when you threaten/hurt his family or innocents.
Keeps getting bits blasted off but comes back stronger.
Offered ascension by a divine being and responded by punching them in the face.
5256809 lol
5256804 Bucky's horn fuses with his assorted bones every time he teleports himself, so I think that it would be nearly impossible to break his bones by normal means.
It, lad! It! Gah!
Nah, seriously, that's the only thing I found. For some reason, my brain decided to hang up on that one word. Keep doing what you're doing. Bucky and his frigging bulletproof skull and brain.
MINOTAUR uses SHOOT EM IN THE HEAD!
It's not very effective.
SENTINEL uses RIP EM TO SHREDS!
It's Super Effective!
MINOTAUR fainted. And died.
5256526 you mean artemis, not salene. Salene is roman
5256829
Just his head. The other bits in his bones are negligible.
>>kudzuhaiku you wrote so that they fused while he was in the Shetlands, but I said the wrong thing. His bones would be more brittle due to the fact that they are now infused with glass. the bones do not channel magic

My reaction to Thanatos.
