"Why Do We Fall? So We Can Learn to Pick Ourselves Back Up," -Alfred Pennyworth

This story is a sequel to COLOSSAL Chrysalis


A few weeks have passed since Chrysalis had reformed and turned over a new leaf after having her time in the spotlight as Equestria's resident Titan. The spell book with the original growth spell has lost it's magic, the growth ray the Changeling hatchlings, Chip and Chirp created, had overloaded and blown up, and now everyone thought the whole Titan debacle was over and that no more Titans will tower over Equestria again. Right? Right?

Yeah no. This is Equestria. Nothing is ever peaceful for long.

Big Macintosh, having once previously been a Titan himself, had been shrunken back down to normal size after consuming a hastily made potion created by the Princesses Celestia and Luna with Twilight's help. But little did they know it had only mutated the wild magic within Big Macintosh, increasing it's potency. His earth pony magic had been risen to an absurd degree, giving him a massive control over nature as well as the size magic he had previously been struck with. Now, giving him full control over it's capabilities and allowing him to manipulate the size of himself or anything he wants with practically no limits. Here is an anthology series of Big Macintosh being his lovable self, living his life in Ponyville while trying to keep his magic a secret from everyone, due to their fear of Titans and at the same time, learn more about this mysterious macro magic he had been gifted himself.

Thank you! This chapter serves as a reintroduction to Big Macintosh after the series ended and where he's at now. The plot will start kicking off properly in the next chapter as we continue Big Mac's misadventures

I can't wait to read more of your upcoming chapters, and remember that the best is yet to come. If you're struggling today, remember that life is worth living and believe that the best is yet to come. Remember that you are loved, you matter, and never forget that there is always hope.

Here’s a song that will make you do whatever it takes. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/HcNcOnIkQQU?si=cX0FXmB1q_4uIX4n

Let the silliness begin ladies and gents! Great introduction to story 4

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the story!

I don't want to come off as impatient, but it has been three weeks since this story began. Do you have a schedule for it or is it just when you have time?

11723475
It's mostly when I have time. I've currently been backlogged with writing 3 different trade stories with other artiest (2 of which I've finished and am currently working on the 3rd). I've been working on chapter 2 whenever I can in between juggling the trade story and my IRL job. After I'm done with that I'll be putting trades on hold and putting my full attention on this. So don't worry, more is on the way!

UPDATE: Chapter 2 is currently being made! All of my trade stories are done and caught up which means all time will be spent on the upcoming chapters

Sorry for the late reading; I had three long works on the cards when this was posted.

Certainly makes a change for his size-shifting to be explored from the smaller end first.

Bringing the now absolutely gargantuan ruler over to him

For a moment there I thought he was going to picture how Celestia would appear from that position.

he knew the forest like the back of his hoof

I had wondered if you'd go on to have him contemplating the fact that he could make it so the whole Forest would fit on the back of his hoof.

Well, that's certainly a possibility. But considering what's in store next chapter. Big Macintosh might be thinking a bit bigger than a mere forest

So far so good on your new chapter. I can't wait to see what sorts of earth pony magic will Big Mac do next.

Here's a song that will you natural. Enjoy!

Well, as we know, Big Macintosh's magic is crazy strong. And with all the testing he's been doing, he's yet to find a limit to it. Giving the princesses and Discord a run for their money on how strong his magic in in opposed to theirs. Just an interesting bit of info I want to throw out there :D

Twi would be proud of his willingness to experiment and observe. And made a friend along the way

How is the next chapter going? It's been almost a month since the last one. If, again, I come off as impatient I'll never ask this again.

11771301
It's been a slow burn. I've been getting occupied by some IRL stuff so at the moment the chapter isn't ready to go but I'll try to get it done before December ends

So are things still going slow?

Hello, thank you for your patience. The next chapter is indeed underway, just needs a little more time. Sit tight!

I think saying that Big Mac was 4000 Miles tall when he sketched out Manehattan is a bit too much. The size of the entire earth, according to a Google search, is 7926 Miles in diameter, meaning he was more than half the size of the planet. At that size a whole country would almost be invisible to him, let a lone a city.

11796547
Huh, I think that was a typo because that was supposed to be meters, not miles. Thanks for pointing that out

I'm ready for the lore in your next chapter, bring it on!

Some interesting imagery here. The thought of Big Mac leaving an apple fritter that's thicker than the height of the tallest building, for one, and then there was a moment where I expected him to find that he replaced the wrong city. I did wonder how he could make the most of his titanic stature without rousing everypony, though there's not an actual explanation as such.

11796595
Happy to do so! Do you have any thoughts on who's gonna find out about Big Mac's power first?

11796629
Yup, since Big Mac is gonna be busying himself making model cities he's gonna have to 'borrow' each city or town in the middle of the night, shrink it down to fun size and keep it on his desk while he's working. To picture how small he's making the cities he's borrowing, they're all about the size of a coin. And every time after he finishes borrowing the city he always leaves behind a treat for them as thanks. Next chapter is going to touch on that again.

As for how he's able to move around without waking up anyone, it's more of a gag I started back in Mega Macintosh. The idea that everyone is sleeping so well now that Luna is back watching over their dreams that a literal earthquake from Big Mac's steps isn't enough to wake them.

11796668
Probably Princess Celestia I guess

11796570
Alright. Anyway I think that the one to discover Big Mac's magic is Pinkie Pie, since she's very much a prominent presense in Ponyville. Also, when you said that it'll be extremely hard not to notice them or their residence/workplace, did you mean before or after they discover Big Mac's magic?

11796727
The pony who finds out Big Mac has magic lives and works in a very noticeable building. And it was this way well before Big Mac got his magic

11796712
Intresting choice. Though she isn't really all that prominent in Ponyville like I said in the hint. The one who finds out lives in Ponyville. That's all I'll say 😉

11796756
Okay, can't wait to see what will Big Mac will do next.

Along with what sorts of earth pony magic will Big Mac will get? I better wait and find out soon.

11798270
So Big Mac's magic as of now consists of the mutated growth spell that had hit him during the events of Mega Macintosh. After the princesses had given him a potion that had counteracted the effects they thought that would be the end of the matter. But they failed to take into account that the growth spell was not the same as before due to the mutation. So the potion mixed with the magic of the spell and now Big Mac has complete control over size manipulation magic.

On top of that, the growth spell had also grown the earth pony magic within him, giving Big Mac complete control over nature

11798381
Okay, I see what you mean. I can't wait for him to see what else he can do. I better wait and find out soon.

So when can we expect the next chapter?

11805272
Coming along. Progress will be a bit slow due to work and I'm working on another story for someone else

How is the next chapter coming along?

11849795
Seeing the change in status, I'd guess he's had to put this on ice partly due to a couple of other size-shifting works he's got on the agenda.

UPDATE: Due to an influx of other stories I'm currently writing as well as some IRL events I'll be putting this story on hold for now. It's by no means dead, the next chapter will be coming at a later date than I predicted
