Lost in Translation - Uh-hmmm



In his short time in this alien land, Anon has learned three things: 1) Magic horses are bad at learning English. 2) They love triangles. 3) Social position is likely determined by booty size, if the big white one is anything to go by.

This is one of the most satisfying conclusions to a story I've read in a long time. It's really impressive how you've woven sillyness and eroticism together to make an engaging storyline.

I really hope to see more in the future!

Oh that tittle drop :rainbowlaugh:

Amazing story, it was hilarious beyond measure and that ending was just too cute. Thanks for writing it, I can vary wait for your next works :twilightsmile:

I have a bad habit of writing stories without a clear idea of how I want them to end, so I often worry that they conclude in an unsatisfying manner. As such, I am very glad to hear that I succeeded here. :)

As an aside, because I didn't want an author's note to interfere with the tone of the epilogue, I actually have a reason for Chrysalis's transformation troubles. Whenever a changeling queen encounters a new species, licking them will force a transformation into a female of the species. This makes it easier for her to collect genetic information i.e. semen, so that she may lay eggs and hatch changelings of the same body type as the new species. That way, the children will be better able to blend in to the new environment. Chrysalis is the result of such an adaptation, when her mother moved into equine lands.

I see it as a bit hard, but I wouldn't mind a sequel of this to be honest o3o Good, nice and fun lil story :3

I liked it, a pleasant concise ending with few loose strings, with the ones there easy enough to use for sequels.

that was cute, but Twilight never got any

She did last chapter, Chapter 9, we just didn't see it.

I would very much like a sequel, following the lives of this foursome, in particular, i'd like to see Chryssi realizing that if she can take the toy Celly made, then she can take the real thing, and decide to try it :trollestia:

That letter is really nice.

Love this story! Great job!:moustache:

*<>* WE WANT TWILIGHT SNU SNU.
S E Q U E L PLZ

goddamnit now i want a sequel

Wait... it's over? NOOOOO

I feel like that story just kind of cut off mid-chapter, much less mid-story. It was funny to read, but the sudden end was jarring

Very enjoyable story.
I'm happy you concluded it. This is something many authors fail at: a completed story.

Thank you for posting.

That was a sudden ending.

this was fantastic

That was rather abrupt.

Good story overall though

Zoophilia garbage. Big surprise and a reason why I never go to the front page anymore.

I'm honestly not sure what you were expecting. You know you can toggle it so you don't see m-rated stories, right?

OMG that was so sweet I loved this story I hope that someday there will be a sequel.

Endings will always be hard, even for the pros. It's like you want to end it, yet cannot decide on what note.

This is one of my favorite language barrier stories I've come across. I'm glad Luna is getting some measure of satisfaction from Anon. I've been hoping she'll ease up on him now that any misunderstandings have been cleared up. Give their friendship a chance develop even if she doesn't partake in his services. I'm happy Twi finally got to spend some proper time with Anon. Nerd horse deserves it with all the work she's put into things. I love the bit of lore with the bouquet Rarity courted Celly with. That was fabulous darling. All the world building and lore was great in my book. It looks like Chrysi finally admitted to herself that this is were she belongs. I love the lore you hinted and later confirmed in another comment about her. Looks like Anon's going to have a big family. I love the make up of this herd/group by the way. The story pushed all the right buttons with me and it has one of the best endings I could've hoped for. It left plenty of room for my imagination to frolic in too. I see Auntie Luna reveling in the title. I see Anon "adopting" the rest of hive because he doesn't want his children or their siblings to go 'hungry' once he learns what sustains them. I see Rarity becoming a world renown designer because of what she learned from the boots, etc. I can imagine some of the nieces and nephews insisting on accompanying Auntie Rarity on her business trips abroad. Not that there's much to threaten her ever since Celly's, Chryssi's and Anon's children went to give the slavers of Kludgetown a beat down after they tried to hijack and kidnap Rarity during one of her first trips. Of course the Crown disavows any knowledge of such action. But Auntie Luna is extremely proud of her nieces and nephews.

Forgive me for repeating what I've said in the land of greens. Like I said, I really enjoyed the story and the world you created. Thanks again for creating and sharing. :heart:

Fair enough. I was referring to the “Differently Sane” line, but I did that on my phone, and was half asleep at the time, so I kinda tripped over my own brain on how to specify which part I meant. :rainbowlaugh:

Will there be a sequel?

9461458
Nope, all of my completed stories will not be getting sequels.

9461466
Aww, I was hoping to see how the reunion went

Nuh... No bug chrysy action.
Oh well, She got kids and everyone IS happy
Thanks for the ride

I am aware. Do you know what the bitches love even more than that?
Saturated cannon fire.

Came for clop, stayed for the plot. :moustache:

I know that Ponish may be an official language in Equestria, but how come we haven't heard any of it spoken?

9498746
Because it is [horse noises]
Also, because I didn't want to figure out a consistent dialect for ponish english, and submit the readers to near gibberish.

9498764
OK, but what about in the canon?

9498800
As in, what would it sound like phonetically when the ponies are talking to each other?
It'd be something like this:
(english)
"Why don't I thank you for that massage?"
(ponish)
"Hwei bommd Aih theng yoh foa thed mahsthahngn?"

Basically, I went with consonants being much softer in ponish, with less nasal vowels.

9498808
No offense, but I'm asking why it was never used in the canon. It's just that in most fantasy series, you get to hear bits and pieces of the language spoken by the native population.

Or... perhaps Equestria was once a British colonial holding, so the ponies all had to learn English...

9498810
Within the canon of this story, ponies are distant descendants of domesticated horses that went through a portal from Earth to Equestria. Over time, magic uplifted them into a sapient race that had convergent cultural evolution with that of humanity, in general.

As for hearing snippets of native language, that is a useful devise for emphasizing the foreignness of the culture, and to build a sense that they are a separate culture from the one you are used to. That is not my intent here. Human and pony culture are supposed to be fairly similar, with just enough differences to cause comedic misunderstandings. Thus, focusing on what ponish sounds like and making the ponies seem more alien than they are is counter to the needs of the plot. Not to mention, it would require more scenes of learning the language, which I had been gradually phasing out as the story went on.

9498864
So do you subscribe to the theory that MLP is set in some sort of a post-apocalyptic world?

9498875
The cartoon show? No, I'm pretty sure that's a parallel dimension thing. Similarly, for the story, Earth is in a nearby parallel dimension that occasionally has elements of either world wander through portals at various times.

First few chapters LMFAO, I wish it kept that momentum all the way through but still a good read.

You tease us throughout the entire story with a Twilight that is sexually repressed and feels left out. But then when she finally achieves her catharsis, after everything that's happened, it takes place off screen? That is legitimately awful.

A very nice balance between giggles and arousals.:derpytongue2:

How interesting.
I was a bit hesitant. But im glad i read this. I kind of wish we saw more of Spike and Sweetie Belle.
Its alway nice to find a porn with a good story.
Thanks for sharing.
