you had me at that suicide/self-harm tag. not a lot of HIE fics with something like that and upon reading the chapter there are clearly signs that things are going to go wrong.

10584517
Yep! But we gotta build to that first. Things are gonna get heavy....

Anyway constructive criticism is totally welcome and if somehow someone reads this and wants a prologue I’ll try to write something.

What’s the difference between the Introduction and Prologue?

Now I didn’t plan on living with anyon- Anypony, so stupid, but the higher ups or the ‘princesses’ suggested that I learn the “power of friendship” with Ponyvilles own friendship connoisseur Twilight. It was mainly the idea of the larger one Celestia who carries a white coat with golden attire/armor.

I don’t think she’s the friendship connoisseur at this point in time.

My ‘incident’ that brought me here was a little over a week ago and I’d be lying if I said that these ponies have been anything but wonderful to helping me adjust.

That means they were wonderful, right?

My eyebrows are my best feature in my opinion, with a bushy but, kept condition and are placed where they should be right above my grayish blue eyes. Usually they carry dark circles thanks to my insomnia but, that’s getting off topic.

Will that come up?

Now that you can see me in your head which I’m sorry for, we can move to the ponies I know currently.

Not that well, but I’ll try.

Besides the dragon I mentioned earlier which, I should provide you somewhat of a description of seeing how he lives in the same tree as me, I’m quite the outsider.

I don’t think there was a mention of a dragon.

I’m getting off topic however, so let’s go back to the little drake living with me. Frighting as a dragon sounds, he’s anything but. Firstly he goes by just Spike, and is a purple dragon with green spikes running along his body. He roughly reaches my waist in height and is a fellow biped like your boy here. Besides his appearance, he’s a pretty cool kid, I mean he’s like the only male I really know right now so bros have to look out for each other you know?

So, spike is the same height as the ponies?

Her tree home which has a chimney by the way, not sure how that doesn’t kill us all but, doubles as the town library. The main room is lined with several bookshelves along each wall with one of those ladders with the wheels, you know the one, for each side of bookshelves. A set of main stairs leads up into the living quarters of the home separated by a door at the top step. It’s a lovely home and surprisingly doesn't really smell of oak at all.

Is that actually what it looks like?

Moving on from my roommates and my current living quarters, the other few ponies I know are Twilights closest friends. I’ve practically been added to their little friend circle much to my demise, so I know roughly 5-10 peop- Ponies, I will get that down.

Why is that bad?

The next member of the ‘elements’ and member of Twilights circle would be Rainbow Dash. Even though I struggle with names, this ponies wasn’t hard to remember. She’s literally covered with a rainbow mane and tail, yea it sounds as gay as it looks. Her coat is cyan which contrasts well with her pink eyes and, she’s the most athletic of the group. She claims to be the fastest flyer in Equestria and has the biggest tomboy personality I’ve ever met. Besides pissing me off with her pranks, she always tries to get me to compete against her in random shit. Annoying as she can be, she is trying to help me fit in with her own way which I can appreciate. She’s like a second bro beside Spike but, without a dick and I’d say she understands me the most out of the rest of Twilight and the gang.

How does she understand him the most?

I don’t hold a grudge as Pinkie only wants people to be happy and I feel like doesn’t spend enough time for herself. Also I know I said people in the previous sentence but, sometimes you just gotta fail to learn, that being said Pinkies failure to understand me caused that little mishap and we’ve smoothed over the issue since.

Is this being written in a diary or something?

She’s precious and I’d fight to protect the innocence of that pony for the greater good, not that I’m a hero or anything.

Is that foreshadowing?

Now that we have our introductions finally out the way and I’ve bored you to sleep let’s get into how the fuck my story came to be.

You mean how he got there?

“Oh sorry” I run my hand against the back of my neck. “I didn’t realize that wasn’t a phrase around here, with you ponies being all PG and what not”

Does he know he’s in a tv show?

“Well that’s a weird phrase anyway, how was I to expect anyone to openly reference their..., bits” Twilight attempts to compose herself drawing another chuckle out of me and Spike.

Are they saying “anyone” because they have a human living there, now?

“Well” Twilight interrupts. “The idea is I want to see if you have any magic residing within you. Every creature in Equestria has some form of magic so why should you be any different? It won’t be dangerous either! So don’t worry.” She ends with a reassuring smile.

To answer twilight’s question, maybe it’s because he’s not from equestria?

I’m surprised however, to feel a light pressure against my left shoulder, almost like a finger. I raise my arm accordingly.

“That’s good! So you can feel magic interacting with you, and you feel fine right?”

What is she’s touching him with?

Drawing it out? I scuff “Your going to be disappointed Twilight, most you’ll draw out is an aneurysm trying to make something happ-“

He has aneurysms?

I’m freeze my speech as almost instantly in that moment my body turns to a cold sweat. I can feel something crawling up from inside me, sickly and depressing. After a few seconds it begins to feel like my own guts are being vacuumed into the black hole that remains of my core. It begins to become to much physically as I open my eyes suddenly and rush toward the bathroom emptying whatever contents were left in my stomach.

What the fuck was that?!? Am I cursed or some shit?! I lay exhausted leaning against the tub next to the toilet after several dry heaves. My body feels drained of any energy and I notice my own skin has turned pale. I feel cold and tired like a bad fever.

What was that?

“We should get you something to drink and in bed, I’ll write a letter to Celestia and see if she can help or knows anything about this” Twilight was holding back however, she discovered something during the experiment, she wasn’t just scared of his reaction rather what she had felt residing within him.

Why didn’t she tell him?

Twilight made it clear to Celestia in the letter that she wished to keep this secret concealed to only her and the princesses until they could solve this new issue. Surely they could figure this out I mean she has defeated Nightmare Moon and Discord! With the help of her friends of course but, there are ways to conceal magic, if need be it.

Why not tell the others? they might help.

Finally, somewhere around 8 pm, a stirring occurred within the dining room as Princess Celestia appeared through a vail of white smoke.

White smoke?

“I believe we might have an issue, you see I also could feel our friend here’s magic however, it was... unpleasant? No, that’s putting it very lightly. He is leaking magic unknowingly to you and others, almost corrosive to ones well being. You and the other elements have been unaware of this right?” She asked with an inquisitive look upon her muzzle.

What does that mean?

“Okay, okay.... I’ll.... I’ll try to convince him it’s for the best, but please find another way princess he’s already been through enough and walking around with something as shameful as a collar is not going to help”

What has he been through?

“Do not fret my little pony, things will work out in due time. Help Joe find peace here and show him the wonders of Equestria and the kindness of it’s ponies. I’m sure he will cheer up” She finished her sentence while fading away into a wistful smoke leaving Twilight alone with her thoughts.

Is she dreaming?

I glance at object in Spikes hand then back to him. “What the fuck does a collar have to do with me having magic?” Why does he have a collar? “Spike I don’t care about your weird sex ideas with Rarity, now do I have magic or not?”

We need a comedy tag after that.

Sorry about the long comment, this usually happens when I read a long chapters.

Alright this is a lot to unpack but, I really appreciate the comment, must have taken you a while so I’ll try my best to answer it! I’m going to label each questions you give numerically to make this easier to follow.
1. I didn’t do a good job really separating the intro from really being a prologue and that’s on me, what I visioned the prologue to be is his day of transition to Equestria from Earth. I still did end up explaining however the cast and my version of Equestria while giving the setting as well so it’s really not all that different. What I should have said was, “if anyone wants a chapter on his arrival, I’d be willing to do that”
2. Not exactly however this takes place somewhere around season 2 when I stopped watching. They’re going to be some things that don’t add up and that’s my memory failing me so if anything doesn’t add up to the actual show take it as this is a unique universe with a few changes. Twilight isn’t an alicorn however is likely well known in town as a figure to seek guidance from. It’s really just the main characters opinion in the long run based on what he already knows.
3. Yes, lol like I said I quickly run over these chapters on my phone in bed at roughly 1-4 am. There’s going to be some sentences I miss that sound weird. I’ll look into rewording that line.
4. Yes, it’ll mainly be the reason for the narcotics tag
5. You low key roasted me but, I deserve it :( hopefully as I write some more, I’ll get better with my descriptions
6. Very briefly, I mention him when speaking on the town being full of ponies besides one dragon.
7. No he’s slightly shorter, I described it has the ponies were at his lower chest while spike was around his waist, I feel like I should add a line around there to compare him to ponies.
8. In the show? Fuck if I know, that was like 9 years ago for me feels like. Also our main character leaves out a lot of details on the interior and that’s on me. Also I didn’t describe how the library’s living quarters is a dining room and kitchen all in one room, another set of stairs leads to the bedrooms. I will fix this as I really need this to be more accurate then what I wrote. Also, I’m making the interior completely up from scratch with a small relation to the show, as you read more you’ll realize I will be doing this for a lot of settings.
9. He’s being sarcastic
10. The main character doesn’t explain this as he doesn’t like getting all sappy. I’d rather it show through actions in the story on how she understands him the most just based on how well he gets along with everyone
11. Yea, scenes without our character will be written jumping from character to character however, only ones with close relationships to the MC will be sometimes in first person, we won’t know the thoughts of characters like Celestia.
12. Maybe? I’m coming up with this as I go. I have a few scenes in my head I want played out and a general plot oh what occurs but getting there is the challenge.
13. How he gets to the point where he’s at currently, writing in the journal
14. No he uses PG as a way to describe ponies as very innocent, they are not as strong minded or inappropriate as humans and you will see how in future chapters.
15. No missed that, thank you!
16. For real twilight what the fuck! Can u believe her? I wanted to show that Twilight is very curious when it comes to magic even to a point of checking things that seem like they already have an answer.
17. Her penis, nah magic, she confirms it with the next sentence, he can be touched by others magic without any complications
18. Worded weird, he telling twilight she’s more likely to pop a vessel trying to make something happen then something actually happening.
19. His magic consumes, it takes over others magic and sickens the one who is inflicted. If he were to let someone get attached to his magic, it would work like a virus and eventually do stuff that I can’t say without spoiling stuff. It’s pretty much a virus
20. Next chapter, lot more gets answered
21. I explain in next chapter a little, mainly to avoid unwanted ears from hearing about it’s contagious abilities. She wants to prevent panic and certain ponies can’t keep their mouths shut friend or no friend.
22. In this universe teleportation magic requires a reaction like Newton’s third law, something has to happen in order for her to arrive there and the smoke is a indicator that some sort of energy was spent to bring her there rather then just appearing suddenly.
23. Celestia originally thought his magic has been leaking out of him like radioactive waves, she doesn’t know at this point that Twilights actions are what causes his shit to start pouring out. Think of it like radiation, waves of dangerous magic
24. Well this takes place less than 2 weeks from his arrival! That’s a lot for someone to handle, being ripped away from your life and knowing you can’t go back? That’s a lot if you ask me.
25. Nah smoke teleportation shit like previous question, number 22
26. Yeaaa your right, that one good for ya? There’s definitely more coming
Alright, this cut into my writing time but, it was necessary, I hope I answered all your questions good enough and thank you for taking your time to read this, I’ll make some changes right after I post this reply. Expect the next chapter to be somewhere around 5-10 k, I’d like to be consistently above 5k at least per chapter

10586615
Wow, I need to watch how I comment. That was a lot, and I’m the one that commented it.

Holy crap, is he gonna he pissssed at Celestia!

You don't make a man wear a collar.

Ah yes, the most important aspect of one's arrival: whether their sex organs are as expected.
The only major question is, is the magic implanted or natural, and what would feeding it let it do...
Also, why a collar? A belt or chest strap would be just as effective. Never understood people's fixation on collars....

11014228
Mostly because to remove it you risk damaging your neck thus having less chances of removing it safely, on the leg or as a belt you could still get hurt but unless you did major damage you'll be fine. The neck is too high risk to risk it

11320142
The reason for it being a collar specifically for this story is explained in a later chapter, the reasoning not exactly along the lines of danger levels rather practicality

I think the prologue is better than the first chapter. I'm serious.

11415755
Made it after writing a few chapters so I’m not surprised lol,
Thanks for giving my story a shot tho, hope you stick with it :)

Fear grips me like a fat boy to his chocolate, as the uncertainty grows within me.

I like him

It was the next morning and I had stirred awake, feeling rather refreshed, a lot more than normal. I glanced toward the clock to see it was 8:24.... 8:24 am! Holy shit I’m up that early, and I feel fucking great! Then as quickly as I had risen from my bed I remembered yesterday’s events. Oh, oh yeah what happened? I pull the covers away to look toward my body for any deformities only to discover none. I also realized I was only in my underwear, a light blush rising to my face. Did Twilight change me? My god this is so embarrassing, I’m a free loader and now I’m working part time as a fucking child. I wonder if Twilight needs a paraplegic as I contemplate leaping out the window.

Yep, i like him
