nicely done!
Nice to have lunas version of how it happened, although now i kinda expect the next two chapters to be lunas realisation of what her actions have led to, Celestia overreacting and Toby being on the run
Oh geez...
While this explains what happened, it doesn’t absolve her of the consequences of her actions! It doesn’t make her any less guilty of what’s to come! It doesn’t make her any less guilty of any injuries that come of her stupidity!
Normally I am not one to hold over drunken stupidity, but the fact is her drunken stupidity happened in a town that was already hostile to Toby and has been from the start!
I honestly hope Toby shuns her, it’s far less than what she deserves for her own stupidity! She has effectively destroyed any and all chances of him gaining ANY good reputation in Ponyville and we all know how Xenophobic the citizens of that town can be and how destructive they can get when riled up!
Honestly, Toby just needs to pack up and get the fuck out of Dodge AND Equestria!
Now we know the truth, but it does nothing to absolve her of what she has done. No matter how you look at it, she is directly at fault for what is happening.

Well his ptsd and abuse from his family weren't making him better for anything and whenever he makes any steps in mental recovery someone like Luna has to ruin it.
Ah yes. Get drunk and shit on your boyfriend knowing damn well he's suffered. Christ, you'd think Luna would at least understand PTSD or the symptoms of it. But nooooooo, she went off and started a shit storm.
Either toby is about to be run out of town or Toby is going to have everything get even worse.
One of the worst people you can make enemies with, is those who've seen war. They have training, they have experience, and above all ...they have a mindset that keeps them alive that they can fall back to.
Fucking Luna. Ugh. The first story where I've ever been mad at her.
All I can say is Toby better lay down the fuckin law when this all comes out, and bitch slap Luna and everyone else who turned on him and tell Luna it's over. You don't backstab and talk shit about someone you love.
Toby is better off without her anyway and it'd be in his best interest to look for somewhere outside Ponyland to live.

And make tracks to Dodge Junction.
11112722
What was the proverb? “Beware those who have nothing left to loose”?
Other than maybe two or three pony’s, he has litterly nothing left to loose but his life. I honestly hope he stabs the next stupid SOB that has the balls to call him a monster regardless of if it’s one of the elements or not!
11112870
Nah Dodge Junction is still TECHNICALLY part of Equestria and if it’s anything like it’s Earth Counterpart was at its hight then it’s a den of Prostitutes, Outlaws and Bounty Hunters.
Only thing that sucks is that we now have to wait for a new chapter. This is one of the few stories where I just want to see what happens next. Cliff hangers.
Hopefully we'll either see what happens when a humans trust us constantly betrayed or what happens when a human, an apex predator, reverts to survival and war time thought processes.
Dude has been hurt enough already that in his shoes I would have either left or become a fucking issue for everyone around me.
11113022
As sun tzu said.
Put your men in to a position where there is no escape and they will prefer death to flight.
He's in a tough spot with nowhere to go. It's just a matter of time before someone does something that sets off the combatant in him it makes him lash out in a truly terrifying way. These ponies haven't seen a human that's been cornered or agitated to all hell.
I would love to see him react violently. It would be satisfying to see
11113027
Satisfying AND Justified, he is being backed into a corner on purpose and none of these pony’s know what kind of powder keg they are inching a flame towards!
To quote Thy'lek Shran “Don’t push the pink skins to the thin ice” humanity is the ultimate combatant out of necessity and the pony’s are about to likely find that out the hard way!
Yeeeeaaah... I want this guy to drop kick a few horses right about now.
Specifically two blue horses I have in mind.
Or just dip.

I wouldn't be so sure. Earth's military tends to work on overwhelming force - true - mixed in with some shock & awe - also true - but... With creatures that can manipulate lightning and achieve air superiority? There's only so much abuse a jet fighter can take. Yes, AA armaments would make it rain meat, but you have to transport and deploy it first...
... which brings us to unicorns. Earth doesn't really have any defenses that can combat mystical arts. Creatures being able to create shields, forcefields, manipulate gravity and various energies and so on would likely fight our heavy equipment to a stand-still.
And let's not forget that if we're shown kindness (which the ponies would likely do, even on the battlefield), we'll strive to respond with kindness. On the ground, it's not about "enemy" or "war" - it's about the "here" and the "now", who's beside you, and the face of your enemy. Each engagement is resolved one bullet at a time, after all. I doubt soldiers would be all that willing to kill ponies one-on-one if captured. As I understand, you're also taught not to show unnecessary cruelty.
11112721
do we even get an answer to that?
11113022
Oh. Shoot.
11113032
Humans are Apex predators for a reason and ponies haven't met a true Apex predator. A human is something even discord wouldn't touch because he knows that even he is vulnerable to a human in the end.
Humans are crafty, tricky, and a strong species. They're playing with a fire work in a California forest and it's about to burn the whole country down if they don't stop.
The training he received makes him more than a match for a pint guardsman.
You're fighting a man who's country know assymetric, symetric, and physiological warfare. A country who's combat training in maneuver Operations would see your destroyed.
11113573
Not only that, but by pony standards he is “Hyper-lethal” and I wouldn’t be surprised if he has the knowledge to make chemical/Gas weapons!
No the ponies are gonna do something that will very much piss him off and there is nothing short of the EoH (and even then I doubt they would work) that will be able to top him.
11113573
The same kind of life he's trying to escape? Interesting take.
11113771
This escalated rather quickly
11114188
So has your story~
But seriously, given the past of this story I fully expect shit to hit the fan in the most dramatic way possible!
The fact that the ponies of Ponyville flip flop worse than an uneven pancake just means that when it happens, it’s gonna be nuclear in magnitude.
11114195
Perhaps-
Who knows?
11114197
Looks at the last two chapters
If that wasn’t set up for a nuclear grade meltdown and fuck fest, then I don’t know what is.
11114187
No veteran wants to go back to killing. They miss their friends and the brotherhood but the suffering is not something they want.
A veteran will gladly fight if they have to and it's getting to the point where he might have to with how hostile they all are being.
War is hell, no one actually comes back.
What returns is a wounded and mangled mess of a human that most people don't understand. Whether it's physical or mental.
11114188
He's not wrong though. All it takes is bleach and ammonia and I'm pretty sure they have bleach. Might be called something else but they have it by this point.
Not going to say where he can get ammonia from Because it's simple.
11114187
Vets will put their foot up someone's ass if need be, doesn't mean they want to though.
11114197
Also, fantastic story by the way.
11112722
Plus maybe it's okay to beat on your fellow soldiers but not on other people. Among humans there is a saying your right to swing your fist stops at the other guy nose. Plus when friends fight its best to get both sides and encourage them to talk. She chose to get mad because he didn't like getting hit. She seems determine to make him kill himself by beating on his mental health when he has just begun to recover. He probably has ptsd on top of the depression.
11114199
Meltdowns don't always include violence, though. All your points are very true regardless.
11114491
Probably has PTSD? Naw, that dude has it. You don't just shoot yourself to get out of war unless you've seen some fucked up stuff. Personally, I wouldn't fault a guy for doing it.
If he's that fucked in the head then he's a risk and needs help. Vietnam was a shit show and those who fought came home to not only being abandoned by the politicians who started the war, but also by the people they were fighting for.
Being drafted also damages morale, it's why the u.s army is a volunteer force. Volunteers fight harder than those who are conscripted.
He's definitely messed up and his reaction to being hit was very restrained despite how easily it could have set him off.
Like I said, those who go to war never truly come back. The person who entered that battlefield had been left there and all that comes home is a mangled and wounded mess whether physical or mental.
11114491
Also doesn't help that Luna and Celestia haven't seen actual combat from what I understand. If they have it's been thousands of years and they've lost touch with that. I think Celestia would understand, Luna on the other hand is displaying horrible immaturity due to lack of knowledge when it comes to trauma or because she just doesn't care.
Toby at the very least has the following.
PTSD, Paranoia, Depression, Extreme social anxiety, abandonment issues, suicidal tendencies, Hyper vigilance, and insane levels of insecurity.
11114500
This is true but I think we're leaving out the part where self preservation is seen kicking in. Combine self preservation with his paranoia and you've got a recipe for bad shit to happen.
11114502
Well he not saying it and nobody in his previous life bothered to think of it and unless he thinks of it I'd rather not play doctor on a fiction character unless the author decides to give the diagnosis although the odds of him having it are pretty good.
11114506
Celestia would have chosen kindness from the first day but Luna if throwing someone you like in the dungeon is how you show you care I hate to see how she would treat someone who is an enemy.
11114528
To be fair, Luna is kinda stuck in the actions of the old world. She doesn’t understand (or doesn’t care) that what was done then, isn’t done now.
But that doesn’t really excuse her actions, she is being an uncaring, impulsive bitch and has no sense of consequences due to her own damn mindset.
I am still waiting for the reaction from both Twilight AND Celestia. Twilights opinion has likely already been swayed by her friends and by the time this reaches Celestia, it’s likely gonna be something like “he attacked Luna and tried to kill her protector when they stepped in” which is gonna set Celestia off.
11114700
Yeah I don't know how far he will go when he snaps but Luna is more than old enough to understand that actions have consequences and she has lost the only person who loved her for her and not her crown. He will never trust her again because she told him she was sorry and then goes and hurts him again. And the guard knew that her actions weren't right. Beating on someone just because they worried you isn't right.
11114710
What’s worse is the fact that I highly doubt that she will face any consequence over her drunken actions BECAUSE of that crown. She is effectively immune to the laws of her own nation and we all know that Celestia will back her to the hilt!
She has quite litterly lost her only true friend and she doesn’t even realize it yet.
11114723
Maybe nobody but her fellow princesses and possibly discord will get on her. Discord won't want fluttershy sad and seeing her friend unhappy would make her sad. The princesses want him to get better and be able to have a normal life. They hated the fact he almost died once because they chose to be unkind. And it not surprising that rainbow would go too far she is impatient and hot-headed. And the twilight won't remain ignorant forever especially when her friends talk about why he might hate Luna when he uses to like her.
11113078
But being at peace for over a century has probably made the military weak considering when they needed to step up in the middle of invasion they failed when push came to shove. We could probably beat them because even in peace we were ready just in case trouble came to call.
10083824
I don't think they have much to help mental health they don't seem to be aware of it beyond nightmares. Twilight was major ocd and everyone didn't seem to realize even when she goes crazy it's because of the ocd.
11115117
I don't know why you were down voted but you're right. The royal guard is rarely seen anywhere other than canterlot.
Equestria seems to have a lack of crime and not being at war for 2000+ years would make a military weak and untrained.
Where as our military is almost constantly engaged in different fights which gives us training, chances to field test weapons, and also allows us to have more veteran soldiers.
The royal guard couldn't even stop the changeling invasion let alone counter it because even their captain was compromised.
Equestrians don't adapt very well to change at all and warfare would see them borderline destroyed by the griffin's, minotaurs, or humans.
Magic is great and all but your average unicorn isn't Twilight sparkle level. At best they can stop arrows, not a high speed projectile fired from a rifle that travels the speed of sound. Even if they did it wouldn't take much to break the shields and that just for modern fire arms.
An M4 due to the amount of ammunition in a magazine would break a shield due to repeated hits on the shield and the velocity of the round. That's not even counting if it has an M203 on it.
11115670
lmao at some point after you commented that the downvote disappeared
there is an imposter among us
11115670
I think the only reason Equestria even exists is because of the threat of Celestia, having a single being who can call on the power of the Sun AND Direct it is a hell of a Force Multiplier.
But it’s also a double edge sword, take out or otherwise remove her and suddenly all you have is an Undertrained, Underforced, Undisciplined, Unequipt and arrogant force of retards.
While I am sure there are Special (Well Special in one way at least) Forces, like S.M.I.L.E and likely a Magnus corp. they would likely be in limited numbers and more trending towards covert actions.
11115854
This chat thread is sis.
11116125
To be honest. The only real reason equestria still exists is BECAUSE they control the sun and moon. Even then you could still capture them and break them.
Humans wouldn't care because it's not our world. If we arrived, it would be through technology we've tested and we'd just use the dead planet for resources.
Jeez idk Luna soldiers with ptsd sometimes remember shit like the sights and smells and even lose track of reality.
