Please let someone kick Blueblood's ass......please?
5187744 Just wait and see. You might find out a few things about him you didn't know.
I really do not like the idea of the Rectifiers. They mess with the last sanctuary. No one and no pony should have the right to take or tamper with that. Any way, this story is great besides that little peeve, but then again, to enjoy a story, you have to have the flip side.
Oh and I never mentioned this, but I have a very neutral personality and am of the negative flip for those who know psychology. I never take a side in bias. I always entertain the coin, there will always be the coin.
Dios mio... Vacca and fun with portals! This day just keeps getting better and better!
1. There goes that 'Need' messing with Artex's head.
2. Ponies are literal masters of psychological war.
3. Blueblood is righteously pompous, but he is not a total a$$. (hopefully)
4. I can now see Chris looking a 'Portalgun' and laughing his butt off.
Very funny chapter. Typos! Typos everywhere!

In principle I agree with you; however, thinking about it this use of mind magic isn't really much different then physiologists prescribing what ever big pharma wants to push to straighten out someone's head. And the magic probably has less side effects.
Artex seems to have done a complete 180 from the last chapter and indeed from everything prior to this on his feelings for having sex with ponies.
Previously you have shown that he still misses his wife terribly (I don't remember if he had or was trying to have a kid) and now he is ready to not only marry a pony but start a herd. This needs to be more fleshed out. If you really need this plot point to occur now, perhaps move his decision to the bedroom scene where he can have a quiet moment to remember her, say goodbye and make the decision to move on.
Again, I don't know what your plans are for the character. As far as I know the only difference in him genetically is that he can only have offspring with ponies, not that he finds them sexually attractive or that he stopped finding humans attractive. He could fall in love and marry a human and just not have kids.
Anyway:
Missing words in there somewhere?
Also,there are a least two instances of "shined" where you mean "shone". Shined vs. shone
5188420 Pharmaceuticals and psychology influence your behavior and may do other things to your mental health, and you have the right to deny them. You can't court order some one to have their mind altered. I could understand consensual mind alterations, but you can't have morals and say that you are allowed to alter the mind with out consent just on a court order from a magistrate. The mind is anybodies', anythings', or anyponies' last sanctuary and all creatures great and small have the right to their own free mind and will no matter the case. You may justify physically breaking someone, you may justify verbally assaulting some one, but there is absolutely no justification for rendering any creatures mind without its consent.
5188897 Thank you for catching that typo! :) I'm afraid you're mistaking Artex' mindset. What he experienced and expressed was reluctant, baleful resignation, not full-on acceptance.
This is disgusting, it's smiles getting painted on the soul.
5191108 Care to elaborate? I've never heard such venom from you before.
5191185
Forcible, court ordered, psychological alteration.
You seriously can't see how messed up that is?
Imagine a parole officer showing up every few days at your house with a syringe of psych meds and big guy to hold you down if you refused.
Did you ever see an episode of Justice League where an alternate universe evil Superman used his heat vision to lobotomize all the supervillians into being passive and non-aggressive.
It's a slippery slope.
5191108 If you're referring to the Mental Readjustment, I think you have the wrong idea. The way it works is that it allows the mentally injured person the capability of dealing with normal, everyday life while getting the help they need. It is not a 'fix', it is like an antipsychotic drug. It temporarily removes the symptoms without dealing with the problem. The problem still has to be addressed and dealt with. I was diagnosed as having A.D.H.D. and I was put on Ritalin for a while. Eventually I learned how to focus and deal with the issues and I have been off the drug for more than 10 years.
Modern medicine does the same thing if a patient refuses to take the medication they need and often it is necessary. Like when Fluttershy was trying to nurse Philomena back to health and Twilight forced the pill down her throat, 'tough love'. It's ugly and uncomfortable, but sometimes it's necessary.
Which would be better:
1. Tamika was not forced to do anything and she had to be locked up so she didn't end up murdering some innocent Kavim,
-OR-
2. She is forced to undergo the Mental Readjustment and therapy and has the capability of continuing on with a semi healthy life while she gets the help, is a productive member of society, and can get the help she needs without being institutionalized.
It is a terrible choice to make, but in the end it will come to a much happier conclusion (not to mention one that involves less death, injury, or deprivation of freedom). Better yet, the effects are completely reversible and will leave no trace of their presence. It a far more elegant solution than doping her up on drugs with a shit-ton of side effects and hoping that she'll mysteriously recover on her own.
I wish I could like and favorite this twice, definitely one of the best fics I have ever read, you sir are a god.
The problem with messing with the mind, is that people look on it as something disgusting, because it is obviously visible when it occurs. The mind alterations carried out by advertising, recreational drugs, politicians speeches, reward systems, and punishment such as standard law enforcement are all carefully avoided. Then there is enviromental conditions, heavy on the mental,especially with measureable change in crime after time with concentration of absorbable lead and other such compounds injested.
If you were a machine or an animal, there are rules and regulations to get you fixed so you would no longer be a danger t others, yet these do not apply to the person, ebcause an awful lot of rule makers would fall foul of such rules, and we weould end up with a bunch of rule makers who wernt actually in it for themselves.
5192251 Oh, you mean like we have now? I've never understood why it's called 'serving a term in office' if the only person being served is the crooked-ass fucking politician.
5192296
Laws are supposed to be for the benefit of the common man, but politicans try their best not to be common at all, there have been instances of common man politicians, but they are horrifically rare, maybe one or two a generation. Even so, they have to be brutal in order to survive.
Yey Chris / Luna
Wait, Luna said she's thinking of getting the gas connected to her oven?
5198293 LOL! I've never heard that one before, but in the spirit of the whole 'oven' thing, she already has the gas and the pan and a way to lube the pan, she just needs the baby-batter!
Is it fair to say the numbers a pony's level is, is "orders of magnitude"?
A level 2, is 2 orders of magnitude above a level 1, and a level 3 is 3 levels of magnitude above level 2, and level 4 is 4 orders of magnitude above level 3 etc?
It would make the "difference between 10 and 11 is a sneeze and a supernova" since 11 orders of magnitude is 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) times more.
5200500 Actually that sounds almost exactly like what I was trying to describe.
I tried to post a new chapter just now and instead of adding the chapter filled with lovely words and edited nicely, IT'S FREAKING BLANK! I've already contacted the Admin about it.

BY THE PIT! How much of these glitches must we endure!
Hey author, I'm BACK! Had no internet for a while and I come back and you have 5 chapters posted I R not dissapoint :)
Why were the new chapters not listed in my Unread Chapters folder.
I must fix this by reading all the new ones!
Christopher and Luna.
I now ship Chris and Luna... and GLaDOS.
"be provided significant professional psychological help and undergo Mental Readjustment to allow her to avoid isolation while going through therapy."
That's it. They've left all humanity behind and are no longer part of the species.

Funny you take this superman example... Let's see what happens if the good boyscout looses his cool, if only as to deliver a point to humanity.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I like your story, Truthseeker, so much. I'm learning about the characters as they themselves are learning about each other. There is real depth that I have been so impatient to develop in my own stories and yours is an example of the kind of depth every self-respecting author, fan fiction or not, should strive to achieve. This is the kind of realism that I love to read about in fanfiction.
I fucking LOVE breaking down barriers.

There are some wierd refferences in this story, Mario and Italian Stallion from Glove and Boots, and "Dan and Chris" couple, but not the same.
I can't help but wonder if they'd ever ask about that reference. Might help explain how he knows how he can 'Think with Portals'.

This is a political, moral and diplomatic nightmare... I do not even know where to start.
It could be a good solution MEDICALLY but in this lies a MASSIVE problem. Humans are master of their own bodies and minds and this is one of they KEY TENANTS of human culture and this has been now violated, by a pony. And the person who received this treatment just happened to hate ponies. Good job, none of the Magistrators paid any mind how this can and WILL be seen by the people?
This kind of thing is a POLITICAL SUICIDE which could drag _any_ community down in flames. Medically smart is not always something that is the end-all valuable or we would have mandatory PE for all adults. And THAT would be less violating than this.
Yep time to zoom off, nothing of important to do here such as gauge the feelings of the settlement to you basically ruling for breaking one of the greatest taboos of modernity. Sanctity of mind, no actions needed here. Better go live in ponyville among ponies again, damn these human plebs, good thing we now can adjust all who disagree with us with 'coping mechanism' if things get bad!
Edit:
And no, having the pressured and mentally unstable person agree to this after does NOT make it all good.
I would add that Equestria should design an inhibitor ring that works on humans. Tamika knows combat magic and would never be unarmed as long as she has access to that magic. The slave collars are a hell no but since unicorns have nullification rings that only effect magic, the same could be made for humans. Would make arresting much safer. Otherwise the humans would have to make steel mits to prevent and nouns or verbs to be used. I can also see these used as training aids in magic. Have the rings but these ones would just limit your output, not cut it off.
I would just have to say to Crash Course that love is blind and to let your wife go.
For interracial marriages involving ponies, Since it is literally till death do you part, and eventually there are going to be others herds forming, I can see that since Crash course survived the blood transfusion, the humans might opt for the same procedure. Just make the transfusion from a donor outside the herd so that your genetics are not too close to prevent inbreeding.
Truthseeker i was wondering are you a Christian?
10005294 Yes I am. But I am not as much of a pushover or bully as you may believe. I tend to get ready for a fight any time somebody asks me that. I am tired of people trying to punish me for crap that other so-called Christians do. To be clear, I am nondenominational and open minded. I do NOT hate the gays, even though I do not agree with the alternative lifestyle. I treat people like people because that is what they are and we are all sinners, even Christians. I also believe that all beliefs and religions CAN get along without killing each other and I have friends who are Muslim, Pagan, Wiccan, Agnostic, Buddhist, and Athiest. No Hindi friends yet though. So if you plan to attack me for my beliefs, the rights of which are guaranteed to me by our Constitution, get ready for a fight, bub.
This might be an overreaction on my part, and if so I apologize, but I have been attacked for my personal beliefs too many times to do otherwise because according to popular opinion I am pure evil because I am a Christian heterosexual caucasian male who is pro 2nd Amendment.
