Hey look, Bucky finally grew a backbon—and it's gone....
It is a good question. Why hasn't Keg Smasher been made a prince yet?

Are you saying you could stand up to Violet? She's his secretary precisely because she can reign him in when he goes off the deep end.
its 3AM over here... y u do dis?
5855508 Getting tired of being someone's whipping boy is going off the deep end?
5855520
No, but the way he went about it was going off the deep end. He could have been more tactful about it instead of calling Celestia a tribalist/racist to her face. He deserved the book for that.
If only the Middle East had a Violet Velvet, there would be a great newspaper shortage. No one in the middle east would see a newspaper or magazine for months, but there would be peace.

Whipping boy? Oh no, he's got responsibilities. Whether he likes it or not he is a tool of destiny and has a position in this fight for the fate of the cosmos. He can't be a selfish lazy layabout just playing with foals and wives all day like he wants. He's got responsibility, and it takes a coward to run away from it. That's why he hasn't, but it's damn tempting for him, and someone has to remind him he can't start giving in to that want or else he -will- wind up running away.
Who better to talk about responsibility than the mare who literally has the weight of Creation on her shoulders? Who has watched over the world since before history began? Who sacrificed everything that would allow her a moment of normal life specifically so she could be what was needed of her. And you make it sound like she's some horrid slave driver to Bucky? Gods forbid he do a billionth the work she's done with his power and capabilities. Yes, let's just let those go to waste by letting him become a drunk family man instead of someone using his head and horn for the sake of the world and all the world's families.
It's no different than a parent giving their kids chores. It's not meant to be a "Lol let's watch the stupid kids break their backs this is hilarious I'm gonna sip a martini." You can't even bring up the amount and difficulty of the tasks laid out for him because he's far more capable of them than any human would be able to handle and thus you lack any sort of ability to appropriately judge how much is too much for him. Seriously, calling him a whipping boy is an insult to Celestia.
Plus the fact that instead of bringing this up like an adult he went and tried to start a racist debate, deeply hurting one of the people who cares about him the most in the world. Since he's acting like a foal, apparently he deserves chores like a foal.
I don't know what kind of man you were raised to be, but I learned to never shirk responsibility, and to always use my strengths for the betterment of others. And over the course of the years of my life I became a leader, and I sacrificed much of myself and my life and my health, but I can measure that worth in the lives I've touched and those I've saved and those I've lost. At most Bucky needed to bring up that he has to have some time to spend with his family instead of this whole argument he was starting that sounded like he was trying to get rid of all responsibility. So it's not that he's a whipping boy. The very point of Bucky's character is that he is inherently flawed and selfish and flighty, or this wouldn't be called The Chase. He -has- to be chased.

Bucky paid his due, he sold his soul to save the world and now she wants him to take on more responsibilities when honestly he should be able to just retire and live out his days in peace? No Celestia can shove her responsibilities up someone else's arse.

And if the story listened to you, then the world would come to an end. Bucky and his family and everyone else would die. It is important that he stay active, that he stay sharp, that he remain part of events. Or that's it. Game over, man. You think Celestia likes that? I swear to Christ you people keep doing this.
"Oh no poor whatever, those alicorns sure are assholes." Everything written about Celestia so far damn near screeches that she'd LOVE to just let him and everyone else frolic and play and screw and booze up and just be happy and never worry about anything. Every single thing in the story reaches for that. But then there's reality, and she knows damn well that can't happen until there's true peace. Bucky is one of the only ones capable of bringing things closer to that point. If he quits, who else is there?
If there's something only you can do to help people, and you choose not to do it just so you can be happy, then you have abandoned them, you have cast aside the responsibility of your strengths and gifts and talents and skills, and you leave them to a fate where the one person who can aid them has decided that his life is better spent playing around while they suffer and die, begging for a deliverance that they can't bring about themselves. If that's how you think things should be, fine for you. But that's not reality. Ours or theirs.
This is why I constantly scoff at the mortal viewpoint. It's too transient, too selfish. It holds itself in too high a regard due to the ego of those such as us "I'm too important to deal with this" "I've done enough already they can handle themselves.". Even if it took two hundred years after you died for your actions to have any effect, that doesn't mean you just give up and do nothing because you won't be the one to reap the spoils of your efforts. Your descendants will have to deal with everything that you could have spent time making better because you got lazy. An immortal sees that as one uninterrupted stretch of time rather than "my life, what I want, each year is more precious than the last to me, time is running out, not enough time for me me me me me." Everyone is selfish, but choosing not to do something that only you can appropriately do for that selfishness is wrong. Morally, ethically, irrefutably.

5855587 You know, I was actually willing to have a decent discussion with you until you had to go and bring my upbring into this.
Yes, it may be true that Celestia has a lot more responsibility than Bucky, but to me, through these one-and-a-half million words, she acted like a giant foal who pouts when she doesn't get her way. Weight of Creation on her shoulders? Please. She freaks out whenever something happens that isn't to her liking or not part of her plan. She has a mental break down when Berry Punch ruins her Ponyville Project, she has another one when Twilight "betrays" her, a third one when Twilight uses her Sun to kill griffons, and let's not forget how she reacted when Twilight wanted to talk about he/she/it. What did she do? She hid in her sun and pouted.
And then there's Bucky. You speak like he has no responsibilities and that he's just goofing off but it has been stated several times that the stress of what Celestia and Equestria wants him to do is killing him. Hence why he needed this vacation to the Shetlands.
I like this story, it's one of the few I follow regularly, but the issue is that it used to be good. In the beginning, I rooted for Bucky, and I felt sorry for him when bad things happened to him. But now each chapter is a game of "let's see what will hurts/scares/embarrasses Bucky now" or "who's going to shag who". And that's not even to mention his attitude. He started this story off as an intelligent (and highly antisocial) stallion, but freaks out over a foal making the wrong sounds.
This story is original, and has good parts in it, but the one thing I'm getting tired off is how much shit Bucky is taking without having the backbone to say "no".
Oh, and then there's my favorite part of your comment. The part where you must defend yourself from some personal insult I dealt you.
Seriously? Nobody cares. This was about Bucky and The Chase, not Aurora Dimmet and his selfless, pious, holy acts of devotion to helping others while thinking nothing of himself.
Kudzuhaiku, I'm apologizing in advance for what might happen in the comments section.

5855581 I hate to say it, but she'd also likely be dead, or worse, within the first day.

Bucky is at Sombra's mercy. Celestia pushed him to achieve his destiny, she pushed him and pushed him, and what was that destiny? To become the Avatar of Destruction and destroy the world. He fought so hard against that destiny that at one point if he killed a bug he would have realized that destiny. He sacrificed all he was as a unicorn, so he could have to power to protect his family. Just to do Celestia's bidding. But that wasn't enough, he had to go to Griffonholm, had to run the Blackcloaks, has to fight the mirror travelers. He went to Hell and spent an eternity of torture to save the avatar of love. HOW MUCH SERVICE CAN YOU DEMAND OF SOMEPONY BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO MUCH? And it isn't like he's the only one available, Celestia could have fixed things a long time ago, but she was afraid. Her hesitation brought ruin, her fear of trusting others is putting all the burden on Twilight and Bucky. Bucky is already King of the Griffons, giving him another title is foolish. Putting all your crowns on one head leads to bloody sucessions when that King passes. Not to mention she is doing it for the wrong reasons. As I said earlier she can't be brought to trust others, and that will foster belifs that she holds favoritism.

Lol no, you see she would be able to do the one thing no other has ever been able to do, unite the women of the middle east. The problem is women have no authority there, they are things to be cared for and protected, but not listened too. Mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, almost half the population ignored because it's believe to be what's right and proper. Now imagine all those women, armed with newspapers, magazines, united under the cause of peace. Peace for the sake of protecting the children. Oh there will be blood, many martyrs, but you can't kill your woman for trying to smack some sense into you. THAT wouldn't be proper.
If only the Middle East had a Violet Velvet.
Ah, Bucky... If they don't allow you to abdicate, act like a lunatic until they remove you from your position.
There seems to be an 'a' missing...
Found one !
the bocors want to try to ( ) the asylum doctors in the Sea of Grass.” [ find ]
5855726 No. Seriously. She'd be killed within the first three days. Their religious nuts are just as bad, if not WORSE, than our religious nuts. Women have had acid thrown in their face JUST FOR GOING TO SCHOOL. A raised newspaper wouldn't do shit. Their's not much you can do when an abusive religion is THAT in-grained into a society.
5856116
a single raised newspaper does nothing, a unified front of half if not more of a population does not get silenced. There my be sickos that run some of those countries and sure they rule by fear. The oppress by fear. But I am willing to bet there is enough people out there willing to stand and fight against the rhetoric to end conflict. If not for the will of the extremist. Imagine if everyone stood up against hate, took a newspaper and beat down every last hardliner... would that not make a diffrence? I'm sure there are enough men out there not willing to raise their hand against their own mothers, raise a paper against those who do. Willing to stand with them against killing. Sure it's unrealistic, but that's only because Violet Velvet does not exist in this world.
I laughed so hard at that ending!
*Sees earlier conversation in comment section*
Where the heck is Kudzu when you need him?
5855478
What do you mean? He grew a backbon a long time ago. Specifically, a backbonbon.
