Eh, shattered freedom is worse than poison.

I just went to sleep and woke up in the body of a pony. I am not supposed to be in this body I am a human and my home is Earth, not here.

As I look into the crystal glass in front of me, a foreign face greets me yet the face has my voice. Have I lost my own humanity? Is my very being slipping out of my hands? That will not do.

Could be an interesting story.

Could be interesting depending on where you go from here, but I'd suggest editing a bit to make your sentences flow more smoothly. They currently read a bit like run on sentences, although I didn't see any actual run on sentences.

English is not my first language so I will probably make some mistakes but thank you for taking the time to write a comment. :twilightsmile:

Looks like he is a naturally paranoid pony. Interesting so far, keep it up.

11749766
Thank you for the compliment! And yes he is normally a bit paranoid but being in a completely alien world bumps that to the extreme levels.
:raritydespair:

11749810
Is he going to be enslaved by Angel Bunny as his loyal manservant?

11749824
His plan is to get away from Angel as fast as possible. He can't afford 5 whole carrots.

alright fuck it I'll bookmark the story you got me hooked.

11750341
Thank you, I hope to keep you hooked!

Nice chapter, I wonder how soon he will end up to the funny hotel, he really sound like a very disturbed little pony. Could be given over to the custody of Angel Bunny he is his owner master after all. I am not sure if I recall right but he is a earth pony now right?

11752379
Yes, he is an earth pony. I felt like giving him a horn to do magic would just negate most of his problems.

11752398
Just making sure I got it, thanks.

This is fun. I wonder how our guy will escape from this one.

Wooh~! Atta boy! Third obstacle: overcome. :moustache:

Now to complete the escape… :unsuresweetie:

I'm sorry, but no matter what body someone ends up in, I fail to see how he couldn't figure out how to walk.

11754396
He did get put into a body so different from his human one and he doesn't have the inborn ability walk no problem just after birth like horses do since he doesn't have a pony mind but a human one.

11754737
Baby horses can walk within two hours.

11754806
Yeah, thats just it, baby horses can walk within two hours, he was not born as a baby pony he is born human and has the mind of one but in the body of a pony. :eeyup:

11754814
So a literal newborn is more competent than an adult? I can understand him having problems. But it's just a different body. And not so vastly different as to be confounding. It's your story to write how you want, but the premise that he can't figure out how to walk just doesn't work at all for me.

He really sound mentally ill, even if taken into account his transmogrification panic if he is willing to hurt himself like that, probably going to leave a nasty scare there. It wouldn't have happened if Angel Bunny was holding his reigns.

11755156
I think it would be an interesting twist to the story if that was the case.

11754831
To be fair it’s an entirely different body with an entirely different biology and shape.

He now has different muscles and body parts that he hasn’t learned how to use .

Like imagine if wings suddenly appeared on your back but because you weren’t born with them or the instinctual capability to move them they are useless.

Just imagine the mc like a physical therapy patient that has to relearn how to walk again after years of being in a bed

11759536
Having completely new and foreign limbs like wings, especially in the show since it requires magic for flight, is completely different than using four normal limbs to just walk. Unless his new body was given muscles that are too weak to support him, that physical therapy angle doesn't work either.

Balloon was a good choice. Maybe miscalculated the altitude and approach a bit.

Celestia might put our guy under guard for self harm… time to get out the butter and make some slippery escape from pony ft Knox. But pursuit is likely…

This is an incredible series of bad judgment calls, will certainly land him in the nut house easy. this is starting to remind me of Whiteout, by Hyper Atomic, from a long time ago, great premise too bad it was cut so short. I would guess that he will get stuck under the custody a social worker or retired guard, or loses any presences of being allowed any choices for himself anymore. I winder where this story will be going from this point onward now that he is captured?

11759558
Though the thing is equestrian pony limbs aren’t human limbs . Different bone and muscle structure .

I mean he still has a human mind and isn’t used to moving that way .
Plus he did eventually manage to stand and walk

Nice to see an update again, I wonder what Will Celestia do with him in keeping him around like that, she has more important things to deal in her nation and have experts she can throw him to. Does she have an interest or plans for him in some way, like how much trouble he somehow manage to put himself into, or know there is something more then just strange in his existence. I wonder if we will see him dream human self, to keep him seeing to want to be human again? Did Luna do something to him in his dreams?

‘’It’s… okay.’’ Going over to the drawers underneath the table I open them one by one but they are all empty. I turn my head to the princess watching me and look at her with a questioning gaze.

I was expecting a bit more from your torture chamber, Princess. Why, you don’t even have a token iron maiden for decoration. How do you expect me to talk without a rack or a pillory or a flogging pole?

Princesses both seem quite flummoxed by our guy. I wonder how he will manage his next escape attempt… maybe there will be a distraction somewhere?

For a human he isn’t a very adaptable one :rainbowhuh:

Well now that it has shifted from runaway to royal romance, I wonder if he will actually start to settle? Will he get at least a psych evaluation the next morning, before being thrown into a padded room where he belongs?

11765319
You really want me to put him into a psych ward huh?
:pinkiecrazy:

Great story btw, i like it.

11765340
Thank you for the compliment! I hope to keep you entertained. :twilightsheepish:

11765328
With how derangement he has been already, Claiming to be a talking hairless ape pony thing? Obviously yes. He is a danger to himself and anypony around him, it's only a question of time before he lets his insanity run wild again. I wouldn't be surprise that he is a contrarian by nature and jump head long into danger just to spite someone he doesn't like.

I would also wonder what Luna has peered from his dreams and what she could discern from them? It's possible that she originally visited him for that reason, what was her interpretation of what she saw or if she could even do it? Could she see his very existence as a rupture in the veil which the have to keep an eye on him? Or maybe he has an aura of chaos around him.

Looking forward to see where this goes.

I don’t think he’s a danger to himself. He’s just had no opportunity to process this new environment; the culture has been rather difficult to navigate. Fluttershy wasn’t explaining much. Rainbow was aggressively hunting him. Applejack straight up arrested the guy and wouldn’t listen to him. Celestia’s guards weren’t exactly friendly.

Though he did misjudge the window from the clinic, I think he was right to run. But now he has a chance to orient himself.

I’m interested how Celestia will react to Luna’s report, “We see no major issues, Sister. Perhaps you can grant him a library card. And Our niece might offer him some counsel. Mayhap ‘twas Thy stature or Thy girth that spooked him so?” :raritywink:

11761888
That true the average person isn’t really good adapting in fact most people really disychange and will try to resist it .

Oh, she was drinking lavender tea.

*gasp* an indirect kiss! so scandelus.

I woke up with the golden rays of sunshine hitting my eyes and the sound of birds flapping their wings, wait... birds?

Opening my eyes almost instantly I saw the trees towering above me blocking the sun but allowing some light to pass through small openings.

''Fuckkk, trees!? am I... am I in the middle of a forest?!'' I scream at the top of my lungs, why am I here? I just went to bed last night, didn't I? Getting up and trying to find my way home seems like the only possible option but the moment I try to get on my feet I see what has happened.

I have no legs or arms, well not human ones instead I have a set of four tan-coloured short cylindrical legs, I scream.

''AAAAAHHHHHHHHH, WHERE ARE MY LEGS WHERE ARE MY ARMS!?!''

My breath becomes erratic as I begin hyperventilating, The sound of jagged, short breaths fills the air, and I panic.

''Wha-what happened to me?! Where am I?! Where are my hands and feet!''

The questions of how, why, what, when, and where are starting to repeat over and over and over, but eventually I barely manage to calm myself down. Alright, let's try to get up and find my way out of this forest.

*Thud*

I can't get up. I attempt to get up on my hind legs again.

*Thud*

I fall again, and my efforts to get up on two legs prove too difficult so I try to walk like a horse since I have 4 legs apparently.

Christ.....

“Mine Sister, Our comraderie hast doubled! We art favorable to the vagabond Thou hast captured for desecrating Thy halls and casting himself upon the winds of the world. And such a vagrant he. We wish to heal the wounds of his soul. Per chance, wouldst Thou be amicable to an exchange of prisoners? We hast captured Thy pantry… Sister, is this a new technique for to drink? Methinks Thou doest it wrong, but We shalt give it a chance... *spits tea at someprincess* Nay, We prefer it to go down than out. What sayest Thou of Mine proposition?” lol

11768415
Woah, it feels like we are back in ye olde equestria. :rainbowlaugh: Luna still doesn’t understand the customs of these times, why would any pony spit their drink upon someones face?

Interesting, any reason why he refers to his hooves as hands or did he turn back human when I wasn't looking? Will we see more of this neurotic maid, is this supposed to be a up coming budding romance between two deficient ponies? will he try to escape the castle in a maid outfit? I wonder what are the princesses plans for him?

11770362
What do you mean? He wa- is human! Always was and always will be. :rainbowhuh:

11770372
Sure, he can tell that to the doc once he is in the funny hotel and take his medicine...

Interesting choice of interaction from the Princess. She’s going to have quite the contrasting report compiled from the Bearers and castle staff.

Just had a thought: does Twilight have the equivalent of auto insurance for that balloon he wrecked? Technically, she’s liable. Right?

11770850
She was going to get one but she may have forgoten about it thankfully Spike told her so she is going to get one right now! ...Spike, where is the balloon? :twilightoops:

Who could that be? The princesses? The Elements bearer? The Elements themselves? We shall know next chapter!

Placing my bet on Moonlight Sweeper actually being Luna in a paper-thin disguise.

Looks like the taint of ponyhood is already affecting him mind, I wonder how soon he will wake up from this nasty fall. I am betting they landed on either Celestai or Blueblood, her large cake flanks should allow the fall downdgrade it from deadly to rattled.
