The Sun Horse found me at the verge of death, and through rudimentary communication offered to save me. I should have read the fine print. Now I'm bitter, small, and possess an underdeveloped frontal lobe. Why does she want me to learn 'friendship'?

Just saying, avoid giving spoilers, even if minor on the A.N, it can really kill the will for someone to read the chapter, just use tags if you can.
Well... Now she has to kill destiny to be free, and hunger, and Harmony.
I will be very disappointed if she doesn't do anything to achieve that.
11654126
If Anon does end up fighting Fate, I imagine it probably won't be for a long time yet.
I guess each aspect needs it's people and that is why they ended up with a young queen. Harmony got ponies and hunger got changelings. I wonder what discord got.
11654132
Everyone he consists of?
great chapter
Well, I was not expecting that to be how Raging Storm got his comeuppance, but it was a glorious punishing death for sure. And now Anon is his own filly once more, but now at the cost of everyone that bore witness to what happened forever traumatized and scared of Anon, doing what he had to do to rescue those he cares about. Will Starlight and Trixie ever be able to trust Anon ever again after hearing and bearing witness to the carnage that happened before them? Probably, probably not, but only time will tell. I still can't believe you had the poor bastard Thanos Snapped before getting soul sucked.
11654153
Not even just Thanos snapped. He disintegrated slowly before getting his soul eaten by Hunger, and he felt every bit of it.
My original idea for his comeuppance was actually far worse. It involved Anon using the severed horn (what later became Pretty Joe's) to project a spell entirely of her own making that would simply cause all molecules in his body to break down into their base atoms all at once. The idea was that he ended up using Starlight as a pony shield, with a knife to her throat, threatening to end her if Anon so much as moved. The horn would've been under her hoof from some poor schmuck that got in her way.
I'd even toyed with the idea of having Anon experiment with putting a hoof on Starlight's horn and trying to cast the way a unicorn did earlier in the arc to build up to that. The only reason I didn't was because it'd ruin some of the fun of Anon having runic inscriptions. In her new form as it is right now, her horn isn't developed enough yet for casting, but she does have some new options on the table... and for once someone else will figure it out before her.
Best. Chapter. EVER!!!!!!!
For some reason this made me think of red vs blue
"What am I gonna do without my shotgun?"
"I said shotgun damnit!"
11654211
Ah yes, that time Washington and Maine were trying to get information about Epsilon out of Sarge.
Insert daaaaaaaaamn meme here… wow.
Mind blown.
Changelings
I wonder if 'uncle Thorax' will be happy about this?
Well reading this chapter was a rollercoaster of emotions which can best be summed up as “Oh fuck.”
I’m a bit worried about what the “hitting rock bottom” will look like, but its the same way you get worried about something in a horror story. You can’t look away.
Keep up the good work.
Nice
I really love this dark chapter! It is pretty sad we won't have any more really dark chapters, or at least ones that can match or go beyond this one.
I had imagined Anon was going through the warehouse Hotline Miami style. At least, before and after his dialogue sessions. Especially the treasure room!
I got to point something that was a bit lacking on this last part though, regarding Raging Storm's scene. When Anon caused some injury, there were no character feedback from Storm. Like screaming or how much more agony he feels.
It had felt like Anon was not murderising a living thing.
I really hope that this comment doesn't come off as deranged and unstable. This is a critique on the "call and response" that was lacking during such torture.
Post Scriptum
I hope we get Anon to fully embrace the HFY that he takes on Fate and wins.
Also, did all the blood remain?
11654303
One of my biggest concerns in this chapter was going too hard with the description of the suffering she was inflicting. As far as not emphasising Raging Storm's suffering in particular, well... we wouldn't want people thinking he was anything close to approaching a person or something that had any right to existence, right?
God damn this chapter was amazing. I can't wait to see what's next
That was an absolute amazing chapter! Love the story can’t wait for the next chapter!
I'm concerned what will happen with Anon now, she killed a lot of ponies, but the evidence was used up to complete the ritual? Blueblood has it right that a lot of paperwork will be involved! Now she has an actual horn though.... what will she be capable of with runes and changeling magic?
11654309
In case you missed my comment, because fat finger moment:
Are the viscera still everywhere?
Also, there isn't really such thing as going too hard in fictions. Except, only if it becomes/is real. And yes, such vileness should not be accepted, but questioning mortality does bring a much heavier impact.
Anon's sister and goddess(?) is the unfortunate moral compass in the end, but those screams from a dying monster could have been enough to make the aggressor stop and think for a moment. It won't change this outcome, but the current tone of the Anon's psyche does. It would paint just how far he has fallen, played by the goddesses or not.
Yes, thank you. I'm not disappointed. Hunger has been satisfied. Theirs and mine.
The deed is done. It's time to turn the page and... face the music. Twilight will be hurt beyond compare, no doubt, and Emerald will definitely be even more traumatized now.
And the war isn't even over yet. I'm sure that the Storm King will be surprised to learn that the alicorn he was looking for was a filly before turning into a champion of Hunger.
holy fuckmuffins
Good news Anon single handedly wiped all of Manehattan's mafia off the face of equis
Bad news pretty much everything else Anon committed mass murder and can't use wartime necessity as justification, he's a changeling queen now because hunger played him for a fool and his mental health went from downhill to nosediving and he's probably still in shock, AND HE HASN'T EVEN REACHED ROCK BOTTOM YET
11654402
More good news. Anon's shock and not taking time to address the situation/her feelings properly will carry her through the rest of the next 24 hour's events.
More bad news. There's an army very interested in her apprehension.
11654414
I knew I forgot some more bad news
11654420
More good news: your username embodies how I felt when I finally got this chapter out. The last two weeks have been a fervour of writing.
11654327
To answer the other part you brought up after, stains might remain, but everything that used to constitute a formerly-living being within the reach of the spell (a radius encompassing most of the warehouse and surrounding block), became matter to fuel Hunger/Désirée's spell to create a body and complete Anon's 'Ascension'.
I can honestly say, I did not see that coming. Wonderful.
I am blown away, the previous chapters build up and the build up of this chapter to the inevitable explosion of revelations was amazing! The last two chapters alone have so much potential for great power and great suffering every step of the way, I'm so hooked. I'm excited at the potential ideas of Anon defying the machinations fate and destroying the plans of all the incarnations or Anon themselves revolving to the point of becoming an incarnation themselves, likely along the lines of destruction or misery.
I'm not sure how I feel about this latest chapter. Hasn't Anon gotten shafted enough? I just hope Anon didn't get cursed with no way around it. That's just too much. And Harmony REALLY fucking should have said more. Not, "Oh well, guess Anon will just learn from their mistakes." That doesn't cut it. All the carnage didn't make up for the ultimate betrayal.
11654516
You're giving me really stupid ideas, not just for the current story, but a G5 Sequel, too.
11654532
No kidding, I really fucking hate that trope of not telling someone something that's very important, and letting them find out the hard way so the story can unfold. All causing a lot of harm, pain, and suffering that could've been avoided with a little bit of communication.
Do you know how many creepypastas I've listened to that used that exact formula?
I'm a bit curious about this new body, will it require feeding on emotions like the old changelings or does "new and improved" mean that Anon can eat normal food like before? Though I guess the physiology of this new body will be gone into detail in the future so I'll just be patient about getting that answer. :P
Though what I am wondering about is how being Hunger's... oh what's the word... avatar? proxy? top disciple? will impact things. She clearly wants nothing more to do with Hunger, but will that mean anything? Although I guess based on what's seen here Hunger doesn't look to desire anything more from Anon given what happened.
Though it will be something to see how Hunger impacts future events given they are physically present now as opposed to before.
11654553
Oh please write them down to use to reference later!
11654642
A bit of the biology was brought up in entry 18, when Anon was reading Biologia Mutabilis: On Changelings New and Old. It won't have strayed too much, from that. She needs emotional energy, and can passively feed or actively feed, although with love directed towards her by her own loved ones, she could probably get away without preying on ponies like the old changelings. Regular food is also necessary for biomass, growth, and repairing damage to their bodies. Up until Chrysalis was ousted, and the reformed changelings were able to start improving their lands, there was not much foliage or life around the hive, and thus not much physical food. It was little wonder they were all starved and practically feral.
As far as the modifications made by Hunger, Anon 2.0 is incapable of the metamorphosis the reformed changelings underwent. Her capacity for changeling horn magic is currently handicapped with how underdeveloped a horn she was given. Other than that, there's this whole 'brain spaghetti' going on with a whole bunch of information that Hunger gifted Anon, so while she might take to some aspects of being a buggo, like shapeshifting, there are certain things she doesn't know how to do, like how to turn off her empathic abilities so that she isn't constantly assailed by bad psychic energy, you know?
Anon is not so much a proxy, avatar, or disciple, so much as it is a case of one child stealing the other's toy. Hunger was quite displeased that all of her changelings were turned towards Harmony, and simply wanted to take something back from Harmony. Besides, that, she's achieved her own goal, and is now fairly content to enjoy the pleasures of the world firsthand. She doesn't expect Anon to take to repopulating the 'true' changelings for a while yet. So long as Anon doesn't get herself killed, Hunger is more than happy to let her do her own thing. It might not happen by the epilogue of this story, and might only happen in the stupid G5 sequel idea I'm having.
11654666
Basic premise: Anon goes into stasis when Twilight seals away magic, only to rise when magic returned. Although she's to help guide ponies and repopulate changelings, she's mostly left to do her own thing, becoming something of a guardian trickster spirit.
To quote musings from a chat where I was sharing said ideas:
May or may not also have her propositioning Hitch in front of all the ladies (because he's "good looking"), casually asking for him to donate 'genetic material' so she can repopulate her species, only to burst out laughing when they all get flustered thinking she's asking for sex.
11654402
Probably not all there were a few with brains enough to leave unfortunately not the guys close to the boss.
11654326
Changeling queens are to drones what alicorns are to ponies.
Her rune magic was limited by her earth pony magic power.
Her rune magic just got buffed lol. Same runic formula, alot more horsepower lol
11654139
Maybe he is certainly crazy enough for it.
11654687
Hunger really should have given the kid a user manual to learn to use their new powers.
11654718
I mean, it is there. Just not all of it is in a readable state right now. Information overload, y'know? Some of it is quite scrambled or tangled up. Hence brain spaghetti.
11654687
I love this
11654220
Washington's unfortunate relationship with cars is always a highlight
Well, would it be safe to compare Hunger to Slannesh? Cause thats all I can think of for a comparison.
Oh shit I just realized Anon will probably have to talk to Chrysalis again now that this has happened. I wonder how that'll go down.
Called it
Ffffffffffffff-
Torture is scary.
Feels extra bad imagining it happening to someone beloved to you. To hear it spoken of? Confirmed?
To know that Trixie's been tortured? Been broken?
If everything that had happened so far hadn't already done it, this would have been what made this mafia an acceptable target of Anon's literally otherworldly imaginative vengeance.
I'm glad Trixie seems alright at the end. I can totally imagine her pretending to break.
She wouldn't even have to act very hard. She's already naturally foolhardy but quick to drop the bluster when things get serious.
Not hard to think the mafiosos would pride themselves on "breaking" just another mare so easily.
11654877I think, that they only thought that they broke her because she said that a little filly will be their doom, nothing less, nothing more
