Providing a realistic simulation of life on a natural satellite since 2012

A journal-style fanfiction of how I would react if I fell into Equestria with no prior knowledge of the show or its inhabitants, and remained as a human. I tried to be as honest with myself as possible, and thought of my own train of thought when I had first discovered the show. These journals primarily chronicle my bumblings about Ponyville, and my desire to get home.

Oooh.
I like what I've read so far.

"(I saw that gray Pegasus that flew into a wall back in Manehattan. She was in the chicken coop.)"

Epic "Find a Pet" song reference!

"What I wouldn’t give to know what time it was, or to hear “Prayer of the Refugee” one more time." RISE AGAINST FTW!! ^.^

Wait....Seriously? Thats it? damn. I was enjoying this too. Well alright I guess. Good read kept me entertained and made me a little sad so...Right on, good job.

I still disapprove of suicide..Just saying.

NO! :fluttershbad: ...i didnt like the ending... :fluttercry: suicide really wasn't necessary... but the rest was great! i loved how the guy really thought all of it was stupid, but pretty quickly thought that everything was pretty damn awesome. :twilightsheepish:

Wat.
Why do people always mess up what is a murder and what isn't?
I understand the whole "being traumatized by the killing" thing, but if you save three lives by killing one, it's blatantly obvious that you probably did the right thing.
Besides, you are doing what you can to protect others. If something tries to kill you or someone you care for, you kinda can beat their skull in.

"She tried to kick me again"
I love that line so much right now. This is one of the best stories I've ever read to be honest and I sincerely hope you manage to finish this.

165703 that is what a person would most likely assume is right, however, even though in equestria all animals have an amount of sentient intelligence, so do most earth creatures. So you are in a sense killing another living being for a natural survival instinct, such as eating. The manticore never knew who those fillies were nor would he care, for he was going to fill his stomach and move on with living. However, because of his lack of complex thoughts and understanding of society, a friendship was at trial and a human simply ended his life for his lack of adaption of his mind. So putting it simply it could be both considered right and wrong for many reasons, and of course I COULD go into the idea of the fact that right and wrong varies from being to being, simply based off of understanding and personality BUT I think i've ranted a little too much.... Now to go act like Ditsy Doo so nobody suspects I am actually intelligent.

>mfw all of you totally miss the "Incomplete" tag and assume it's done because implied suicide
Oh you silly fillies :rainbowlaugh:

I have a huge issue here.
You said he was about as tall as most of the buildings in Ponyville.
images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110714132933/mlp/images/thumb/c/ca/AiP_Library.png/830px-AiP_Library.png
those buildings are BEHIND the Library.
Jumping from the roof would, at worst, break his legs.
He would not die.
Unless the planet's natural gravity was several times that of Earth.
But if that were true he would be crushed to death, or not be able to breathe.
If he were pony sized then he would probably die.
But he isn't.

I was guesstimating heights when I started writing this. I admit I didn't quite properly do my research on Ponyville when I wrote this - I was figuring being ~2x the height of a door would equal roughly 2 stories tall compared to a pony house (so I figure my head would be roughly level with the bottom of the window sill near the bee's nest). I forgot how tall the roofs were in comparison to the buildings themselves in the show. However, it would be perfectly possible to kill myself from a jump of that top platform. If I were trying to commit suicide jumping off of something from a height that may or may not have killed me, I would have jumped head first, so as to land on (and break) my neck/spine.

Also,
>magic
I could have easily used magic to accelerate myself as I fell, to a velocity that would kill me. I hate using that as a justification, but it works.

If that were so then the impact on the ground would have killed you, as can be evidenced by basic Physics.

This video shows what would actually happen given what you're stating.

I am quite happy that you put this here, it wasn't getting enough views where it used to be. :pinkiehappy:

167127 um, I'm not gonna complain but breaking your neck or spine could kill you... if medical attention could not be applied soon enough to stop your body from completely halting blood flow. Normally in reality this is impossible to stop but magic healing would likely be able to fix such a problem if it were performed by an experienced magic user such as twilight and since he did such by her home with his size the impact would have likely alerted her to something being wrong and she may have been able fix him up before he died. Of course I do enjoy the story though, and Luna is best pony so I simply can't be unhappy because of a small argument like that. Also I said only maybe would she have saved him because she wouldn't have known what was wrong with him in the first place and would have to examine him somehow first, and it is unknown how long that could take. So basically, time was a key factor here not height.

Don't ask me how I know any of this aswell, because by the time I will have checked for a response to this comment, I will have forgotten.

you are pretty damn good man:twilightsmile:
and this is awesome:pinkiehappy:

Aww I'm not that good :twilightblush: thanks!

Also, I figured I'd be jumping from where I was staying, which was, you know, Applejack's Barn. Which is both a bit higher than Twilight's tree and a bit farther away from Twilight.

I love how I sparked a discussion with something that almost happened XD

Was that a Rainbow Factory reference? Also, when is this going on EQD?

Wow, this was amazing. :pinkiegasp::pinkiehappy:
A very interesting way of telling a story through a bunch of entries like that. :twilightsmile:
Part of me wishes I had thought of that. Of course I don't think that would have gone over as amazingly as yours. Great job man.:yay:

GRRRREAT stuff. MOAR!!!

I must apologize to you all, but the technology gods are giving me a giant middle finger. In three days, my iPod, PS3, and laptop all crapped out on me. If I'm lucky, I'll get my laptop back next friday, maybe not until the following monday. I thank you all for being so patient with me as I update this.

I think in this kind of situation I would definitely miss video games a lot.

So, I have good news, bad news, and more good news.
Good news is, I have my lap top back and everything is in working order.
Bad news is, I have a crapton of homework this week.
Other good news is that next week is my week off, so I should get a bunch done next week. Thank you again for your patience!

I AM VERY HAPPY!!!
and this was kinda cute cuz of pip
I kinda looked like this when I saw update

Cool story! It was well worth the wait :) MOAR!!!

Glad your computer is working again, interesting turn the story has taken.

Well, another bit of interesting entrees. :pinkiehappy:
Although now I wounder just where else this might go.:derpyderp2:
Only one way to find out and that is to wait for the next chapter. :derpytongue2:

What a twist! Still loving it. :heart:

To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure where it's heading. I have a few planned "story arcs" so to speak, but I haven't decided how/when to end it (I've written my death in, then back out like, four times now). So it's a surprise for everypony!

well.. that was interesting, and adorable. :pinkiehappy:
There just seems to be one problem though.... These are entries 141-152 not 142...:ajbemused:
But other then that, very well done. :pinkiehappy:

NO! Derpy is dead? "YOU FOOL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" I am severely dissapoint. How could you?

I lost a bet so now I have to promote someone so here you go
GO CHECK OUT THIS GUY !!!
NOW!!!:flutterrage::flutterrage:
good story by the way
and I agree with the guy above me

And... done. Sweet bajeebus I wrote 22000 words. That's more than twice as long as anything else I've ever written... Anyway, it's been great fun and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm planning on writing another fic, but it will probably be a while before I've gotten enough written on that to post (I plan on taking it a lot slower because I'll be going for a more traditional story format than a journal). With that, I'll... yeah, uh, I guess I'm done here for now :pinkiesmile:

Great story, Good thing I started from the beginning, or else that would be a long read.:pinkiesmile:

THAT WAS....nice

From start to finish, I love it. Thanks for the ride! :pinkiehappy: (And for bringing back Derpy)

Furry? ... (PLEASE don't be a clp-fic!):raritycry::raritydespair::twilightoops::fluttershbad::fluttershysad::derpyderp1::applejackconfused::trixieshiftright::rainbowhuh::rainbowderp:

HEY HEY HEY!! SHE SHOULDN'T IN MA SHED!!!:flutterrage:
(And then Chaos was shot for parodying Pony.MOV. Twice. :pinkiecrazy:)

They did not. just do do that.
:pinkiegasp: CCRRRRRRUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:trollestia:problem
:pinkiegasp: TTTTTTRRRRRROOOOOLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEESSSSSTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

The End. The End? Dash, Pinkie you can do the honors.
:rainbowlaugh: BWAHAHAHA!!!
:pinkiehappy:Silly fanfic! You're only half-over! :pinkiecrazy: Honestly, you are so RANDOM!

Well, interesting way to end it there. But I love this story/journal.
So I now give this story my gift that I give to stories that I love and enjoy:

Thank you for sharing this lovely story with us. :yay:

Thanks for the story. Was a great read.

Holy shit. Luna made his dick bigger.

“The something-and-something Mare Do Well owes this world more than you. She thanks you for your effort but cannot let you make this sacrifice.” Twilight teared up a bit when I told her that, so I’m guessing that clued her in to who it was.

Is the phrase supposed to tell us, the readers, who it is or do you just like keeping people guessing?........Wait a minute.....I think I just realized who it was now that I took a closer look at what she said.:trixieshiftright:

Pegasus is singular, Pegasi is plural. Fluttershy is a Pegasus. Cloudsdale is populated by Pegasi.

Applejack lives on the farm (Sweet Apple Orchard) with her sister, brother, and grandmother (no mention of parents…),

Sweet Apple Acres.
