"In sameness, there is peace. Exceptionalism is a lie. Free yourself from your cutie mark. Choose equality as your special talent..."

An AU where Fluttershy's the first to go, starting to slowly believe Starlight's beliefs while her friends stay stuck trying to think up a plan.

What do you mean the season premier was over a month ago.

This right here is why I found that episode so disturbing.

Good job!

I really like how subtle you made the whole brainwashing process. Great work here.

Have you even HEARD of the dark tag?

I didn't think it was needed, but ok.

Good story! Very believable, too...Fluttershy's been put off and intimidated by other ponies for so long, it makes sense that she yearn for a society where that's not a problem. It was odd that she didn't really think about her animal friends, though. :fluttershysad:

Good fanfic. I think to myself, is this why Fluttershy pulled the "Cant judge a book by its cover" card in that eposide?

This does not seem dark to me! Sure, Fluttershy accepted to leave in a Starlight's "animal farm"-like dictatorship, but nopony dies and no disastruos changes happen to the world! Why would you tag it dark? Also, do you plan to write a 2nd chapter? I'm curious whether Fluttershy's friends would finally give in too, and most importantly how their friendship would be affected by a decision to join the village from the weak-willed ones like Rarity and Pinkie Pie (Can't really imagine Raibow Dash, Applejack and Twilight giving up... too soon at least). It's very improbable that the mane 6 will ever discover Starlight's secret now that Fluttershy happily accepts her rule (she might even keep the secret if she finds out because she'd be afraid to lose the comfort and security of the utopian village and be bullied again - this could also be interesting to see, maybe even coupled with a Starlight - Fluttershy ship? Anyway, I'm off-topic already), and their conflicting ideas, combined with the ravaging hunger that will slowly take its toll on them in the prison-house and ultimately their slow breakdown or desperate rebellion would make for a very interesting psycological story! What do you say? Can you give us a longer story? PLEASE?!? PRETTY PLEASE??? I truly enjoyed the read and I think it has the potential to become a very good dark psychological fic with a few Orwellian touches! Regardless of your plans, very good work! Up-voted!

"The ending was the strongest part. Now, the support for that ending glossed over a _lot_. "

Yeah, you kinda hit the nail on the head.

One of my writing weaknesses is sometimes I write a story just for one good part, and just weakly try to pass off the rest of it.

I'm sure Discord will find out about this eventually and find a way to convince Fluttershy to go back.

She can't just abandon all her friends and animals back in ponyville it's just not like her.
