>>42562867

So Anon was an Alicorn all along and was on a timeout like Luna?

 

 

>>42562867

Turns out you were an alicorn in a previous life but you did a big no-no and got banished to live a human life.

>In ancient equestria (you) did something that saw you exiled

>if you were an alicorn back then you were stripped of it by the tree of harmony itself for your crimes and sent into cosmic timeout

>while luna later got banished to the moon she was still in the world technically whereas you got put in the void

>this meant your soul wandered trying to escape and you had a whole ass human life before your exile was up and the tree released you, your exile wasnt meant to be this long but the tree didnt want to take chances until both sisters and the elements were around again

>you've only lived for average anon years old, not existed for millenia plus you're just you not some pony oc right?

>because of void exile you genuinely have no memory of any prior existence to being human and with how the void lacks anything to it, its unclear if human you was the original you or this evil horse you the two sisters are wary of is the original

 

 

>>42563107

So, Celestia banishes Luna to the Moon. What caused Anon to be banished? Getting banished to the void is a pretty big punishment, so I can only assume what Anon did was pretty bad in Harmony's eyes.

 

If you want full-on evil, the only thing I can think of that would fit Anon's motif if he were a pony supermecist and actively tried to eradicate all the other creatures in Equestra.

 

 

>>42563157

Maybe full dark lord? making an evil talisman, using golems, wraiths, being overly violent and turning lush forests into wastelands that or pulling from my own writing stuff I've always thought the idea of a 'wild lord' would be cool, some maniacally freedom-survival of the fittest driven nut job commanding beast armies like the inverse of your typical necromancer

 

 

>>42563157

he ate ALL the cakes, ALL OF THEM

 

 

>>42563194

Celestia and Luna repersent the Sun and the Moon. Anon could be the Alicorn of the Skies, it would fit the freedom theme. Perhaps he just didn't want to rule ponykind and instead opposed Harmony's meddling.

 

 

>>42563243

Earth has always been the obvious choice to me if there was ever a 3rd sibling, it fits neater and its fairly open in interpretation for role and design

I remember in early fandom days there'd be OC alicorns of time, death, life, spirit and so on all seems convoluted to me

 

 

>>42563243

>Anon's domain was the skies

>He controlled the weather

>After his banishment, the pegasi took on his responsibilities in his stead

>Modern Pegasus communities no longer know why they control the weather, just that that's what they do and what they've always done

>Anon's return then presents a dilemma

>Either he retakes his domain and every weatherpony loses their livelihoods immediately

>Or he doesn't meddle with the current status quo at the cost of no longer having a representative identity unlike Celestia and Luna.

You could go further than this and say that if Celestia and Luna are a diarchy representing the mystical, Anon is a monarch representing the natural. Something like >>42563259 suggests.

>Anon was the first cultivator of the abilities of Earth Ponies

>His disappearance rendered the studies of their natural magic forgotten, which is why it remains such an unexplored branch today

 

 

>>42563271

>You could go further than this and say that if Celestia and Luna are a diarchy representing the mystical, Anon is a monarch representing the natural

 

anon = earth ponies, luna = unicorns, celestia = pegasi?

an alicorn for each tribe that way and Anon's role whatever it was was just managed by a mix of celestia and culturally by the entirety of equestria

 

 

>>42563107

>commit a crime so vile you're forced to live a human existance

fucking hell, what sort of crimes warrants this?

>its unclear if human you was the original you or this evil horse you the two sisters are wary of is the original

>>“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”

 

 

>>42563281

I imagine that if Anon was the natural, then when Discord arrived and began causing chaos, it would have drove Anon crazy. Due to this his sisters had no choice but to banish him, as he was now an obstacle to Discord.

 

 

>>42563750

discord fucking with nature which ancientanon was connected to made him crazy, would a returned anon then be incredibly docile since nature is controlled in equestria?

>The ancient abomination's chaotic magic adversely affected Anon as a result

>So much so that the Everfree became a reflection of Anon's deterioration in near-real time

>Celly and Luna had no choice but to turn the Elements on their youngest sibling

>Binding Anon in stasis before he - and the now wholly wild Everfree - could do any major damage to everypony and himself

>The sisters ordered a total secrecy statute regarding their younger brother in order to preserve the memory of who he was, rather than who he became

>It was so effective and absolute, over time the only ponies that ever know that there was a triarchy are Celestia and Luna themselves

 

 

>>42563850

this feels a bit too evil for discord to do imo, screwing with the gardener alicorn maybe but turning him into plant cancer is a bit too far

 

 

>>42563864

I don't really mean for it to come across as something Discord does to Anon maliciously, rather the things Discord does to the land (chaotically upending the natural order) negatively affects Anon because he's so in tune with it. Almost like an allergic reaction to an extreme degree.

 

 

>>42563885

yeah that works, either discord's fuckery creates a chain reaction or it makes anon aware of what real nature is and that ponies controlling it isnt how it should be

 

 

>>42563850

>>42563854

this could go either way if we're thinking of a earth/nature sibling

>Completely wild and maniacal, no restraint, just ego and hunger for power

>Brutally efficient and unflinching like a predator

>Cold, unfeeling and sharp like the mountains

i think any of these could make for a good dark lord type character/background

 

 

>>42563805

Unlike Luna, Anon wasn't sealed inside his own element. He was torn away from it. I doubt the Anon that returns would even have memories of it and not understand all the little things he felt. He would be way more out of place then Luna ever was.

 

>>42565096

That could be funny, anon has zero clue what theyre talking about at any time as they reminisce and discuss a past he wasnt a part of

>"come now this was your favourite food when you were little!"

>No it isnt

>he doesn't even do the thinks he used to like to do

>he's completely content being shutaway in the dark reading books all day like what twilight used to be

>but somehow anon is worse

>he draws random things, stories and smut

 

>>42565422

When Anon was torn away from his word his life lost all meaning. It reflected in his human life, where he outright just refused to socialize. A complete shut in loner, all the way until the faithful day he was yanked back to Equestria. Harmony's little message of 'playing nice' means nothing to him. This place is bright, everybody is way to happy and annoying. These two 'horses' won't stop calling him brother, even after he tells them they got the wrong guy. He just wants to go home.

LOL that's good

Absolutely love it! I cab already see Celestia trying to appeal to anon in anyway possible, while Luna wants to bash his skull in until he remembers

i'm sketching a nightmare mode version of the earth anonicorn, just brainstorming but heres what i've got

>no regalia? not sure on this one

>antlers, curved horn, longer tail, sharp feathers

>bird eyes over cat eyes like the other two

>saber tooth/musk deer fangs

>lots of tufts

>regular anon colour's just slightly deeper/darker

overall a more wild/feral look contrasting to daybreaker and nightmare moon

the term wild lord was used maybe that can be this form's name?

 

 

>>42573401

>>no regalia? not sure on this one

Make it like armor, similar to how Sombra has his but sharper, with maybe a rusted coloring overtaking the original bronze.

>overall a more wild/feral look contrasting to daybreaker and nightmare moon

Sounds good, make his body thicker overall, more muscular. Would fit with a dark Lord of the Wild kinda vibe, kinda a toxic alpha male/top predator vibe.

 

The rest of it sounds good. As for names, I'm terrible with names but I'll think on it and post if I have any good suggestions.

 

 

>>42573401

>no regalia? not sure on this one

>>42573464

>Make it like armor, similar to how Sombra has his but sharper

if it's Earth Anonicorn, then how about armor made out of Everfree trees? a sort of gnarled wood that twists around him protectively, maybe even give him a horned crown also made out of wood?

 

 

>>42573401

Late, but maybe the regalia is broken and the pieces 'orbit' around him

 

 

>>42563850

>>42566436

Celestia and Luna have their own guards, what would Anon's guard just be a bunch of chill nature druid earth ponies?

 

 

>>42574597

He made his own. The monsters of the Everfree are what’s left of them after thousands of years without their master

 

 

>>42574627

Yes based, wild anon made timberwolves, ent, Venus fly trap and the creaking type things with his magic when he was going manic.

If we're calling him the wild lord he should have a wild hunt

 

 

>>42574642

So when Anon became wild all the earth ponies that worked aside him just bailed on him. Brutal.

 

 

>>42574750

Im imagining he was way less a leader than nightmare moon was, just manic bordering on feral, depending how you wanna take it he could have descended into full on leshen/wendigo territory

 

 

>>42574757

I'm talking about before Discord's arrival. I assumed if he ruled alongside his sisters then he would have had his own royal guard.

 

 

>>42574597

>>42574771

Nature Prince Anon probably wouldn't have anything "official". He'd have an entourage provided by his sisters for any official matters at their behest and perhaps an elite SAS-like corps suited for survival and all-terrain manoeuvres at his own discretion, which became defunct after his banishment.

 

 

>>42574774

I guess nature would have been his guard, in the sense that the very earth they trotted upon was protecting Anon. Though at the same time, it sounds like Anon had barely any connections before he went wild.

 

As bad as Nightmare Moon is, you just know some of her guards were more then likely 'ride and die' for her.

 

 

>>42574774

Early equestrian rangers? Back in the day real Aragorn types before developing into just regular rangers in modern equestria

 

 

>>42574915

Yeah, pretty much. Officially these ponies could be actually be druids or acolytes of natural magic, but through Anon's teachings and understanding of how nature works it only took a little combat training for them to be really effective combatants in difficult terrain or remote locations.

>Anon teaches his students how to recognise useful flora at a touch

>Which extends to using that sense to extend one's awareness being in contact with local plant life

>Then using that lesson to being able to extend awareness using only the bare earth, like Toph

>This becomes effective in areas with low visibility/high foliage density

>Also handy for finding water sources in a pinch by using that extended awareness to study the general lay of the land

>Which becomes useful for cartography

>Or he teaches them a trick to grow edibles really quickly at the cost of degenerating the plant at a highly accelerated rate

>Which then evolves into cultivating an "emergency ration plant" that can last for a few days of forced growth before becoming mulch

And so on. Then when Anon goes wild, all of that already specialist, esoteric knowledge is rendered less effective because of the strange ways the Everfree Forest changes and warps perceptions. You could then have a team of ponies that were faithful to their prince, but were unable to do anything to help in the face of a corrupted Anon that far outstripped them in skill and mastery.

 

 

>>42574627

>The monsters of the Everfree are what’s left of them

>1000 years ago, Anon called the stars down as a gift for his sister Luna in the form of the first Ursa Minor

I shiggy

 

 

>>42574789

>Though at the same time, it sounds like Anon had barely any connections before he went wild.

could work for an innawoods type prince, he was disconnected from most ponies but he didn't see it that way, he was connected to the soil and the cool breeze, to him he was more connected to their subjects than his sisters ever were, he experienced every foals first steps, every pegasi's first flight, every time a unicorn first pulled at the magic around them, and he felt everytime they returned to nature

he could meet a pony who has never met him before and recount their most closely guarded secret or most cherished memory because he was there to an extent

Anonicorn doesn't see anything amiss, but to regular ponies he's like an eldritch watcher who knows what they do and think better than they do

 

 

>>42576126

That seems op, too much connection imo. Something like being able to talk to animals or the plants feels more grounded. Him being able to hear and see everything means luna and celestia would see more than him since their spheres have the better view

 

 

>>42576218

it doesn't have to be literal or something stupid or constant like omniscience, just something his magic works with, like how Luna can see what everypony is dreaming about whenever she wants

 

 

>>42576218

Personally I think it works. Like, his domain is a bit more expansive because it's such a a complicated one compared to the Sun and Moon, the Earth is the home of all life after all. Abdunlike Celestia and Luna, Anon is always in his home turf. It also justifies why his banishment ended up being so much worse than Luna's, because he needed to be disconnected entirely to actually make it stick.

It also evens out by the fact he was corrupted at all, Nature gives him a ton of power of the world, but simultaneously it also means he's vulnerable to any damage wrought on the world, it's a two way street in that regard, a double edged sword.

 

Sure Discord wasn't actively trying to corrupt Anon the way he did, but that just makes it worse. If that could be done inadvertently, who knows what kind of damage could be caused by a truly malevolent like Grogar or Tirek. They wouldn't need to attack Anon directly to best him after all.

 

 

>>42574642

The Everfree's wild hunt. The Everhunting, perhaps.

[spoiler]I've been so mind poisoned by projectmoon that I see wild hunt and instantly think of Wild Hunt Heathcliff and now I picture the dark Anonicorn summoning ghostly predators the same way[/spoiler]

Quick sketch from last night I forgot to post.

I think him looking like a scraggly edge lord is fun but balancing that is tough imo hence top right, evil forest lord in my head is either a leshy or aa dick head wood elf

 

 

>>42576529

He looks like a symmetrical version of Discord.

 

 

>>42576529

Fits very well, definitely would scare ponies into making so much folklore if they ever went into the Everfree forest and saw him around.

 

 

>>42576529

Definitely the way to go for his personality.

>Daybreaker is obsessed with power and strength because she was born from Celestia’s feelings of helplessness

>NMM is obsessed with vanity and worship because she was born out of Luna’s envy and loneliness

>Because Discord’s chaos is what caused his transformation, Anon’s nightmare form is akin to one of those European folklore trickster gnomes that will brutally murder 200 children because they didn’t eat their oats on Sunday but completely leave you alone otherwise

 

 

>>42576712

 

Discord giving him forest-cancer by accident is really good, it could compound some issues he already had too, leading to this double-dose nightmare mode later on.

and 100%, he should be attached to some folklore fairy/elf/troll type stuff. if you wanna get real edgy some of these traditions could be literally to not get eaten or savaged by the prince or his wild hunt.

Windego is taken but using WENdigo would sound weird

 

 

>>42577269

No, you could finagle it. You could say there's a phrase for them in deer tongue which isn't snappy, but is descriptive of what the creature is. They're called "wendigo" in the common Equestrian language because it's a bastardization of that deer phrase, loosely "when deer go mad".

>>42576429

How changed do you think Prince Anon would be when he returned? Is his crash personality a complete departure from how he was originally, or was he like... a healthier version of a spaghetti-spilling weirdo?

 

 

>>42577400

It would be a lot easier to just say he was a super cool stoic ruler and a great ruler before he got banished to a human life but I think we’d be doing him a disservice if we didn’t make him at least a little bit of an antisocial freak before he went nuts. Like he always had a little spark of humanity (aka being an asshole) in him even before he became human or something.

Maybe his relationship with the sisters was already going sour even before he went nightmare because he was starting to think they were exerting too much control over the celestial bodies and upsetting the natural order or something

 

 

>>42577400

I'd say they should be completely different people with only the slightest similarities.

The Prince was this large, nature loving, stoically parental figure who traveled the lands. Think a wise medicine man druid Gandalf.

Meanwhile nuAnon is regular pony sized, softer looking, like comparing Twilight when she first ascended versus her mature design in tht final episode. Personality wise he's a typical Anon, a sarcastic asshole who's horribly out of his depths and quickly losing his patience with the two big horse royalty who are insisting they're related.

Old Anon was majestic and moved with a fluid grace, nuAnon is skrungly looking, disheveled and clumsy on his hooves. Old Anon feasted on feasts of fruits and vegetables that would seemingly grow around him at a moments notice, nuAnon really wants some dino nuggies. Old Anon was a soft spoken, polite being with the eternal patience of a pony who can quite literally watch a flower grow at its normal pace and not lose interest, Anon has no patience and gets bored really fucking quick. etc etc etc.

 

Maybe a couple really deep seated similarities, like the same heart of gold when the situation calls for it, and a love of animals. Maybe nuAnon owned one of those dollar store bonzai planets that almost never grow and actually got it healthy and fairly big, and he surprisingly enjoys taking care of it. Maybe he grew up with a bunch of pets in the house and they always seemed clingy with him. Stuff like that.

 

 

>>42577903

>gandalf

Drawfag here, its now canon that ancient nature prince anon wore a wizard hat and smoked a pipe

 

 

>>42577903

I disagree. While I think NuAnon should be the typical brash idiot Anon is. If he's like 95% different from old Anon, then Prince Anon wasn't banished, he was killed and the Anon that's around ISN'T their sibiling.

 

 

>>42578060

If his memories are completely gone, isn't that effectively a personality death anyway? Until Anon could get even some of his memories, they're effectively two completely different people in technically the same body.

 

 

>>42578060

Agree. If Old!Anon was nothing like Post-Humanity!Anon then there’d be no real point in even having them be the same person IMO. Old Prince Anon would have obviously been way more socially adjusted and likeable than NuAnon but there still needs to be that spark of antisocial smug asshole even if he used to be far better at reining it in

 

 

>>42578074

Only if you ignore any spiritual magical shit like the soul or whatever, which seems kind of counterintuitive given the subject matter

 

 

>>42578087

I think the best way to figure that out is to just simply compare OldAnon's life with NuAnon's life. If OldAnon was this antisocial loner, but his smug nature was tempered by his connection to nature itself. Where as NuAnon grew up in a smog filled city with little nature, nothing to ease his personality flaws allowed them to amplify into their worst traits.

 

 

>>42578087

I think Anon's smug and apathetic attitude suit him well to a being representative of nature in a certain aspect. There were once things in the past of great natural beauty but time passes, things die, and nature changes, sometimes for better sometimes for worse yet it adapts. But nature never consciously cares about the past or even the future. Evolution, selection, death and rebirth. If humanity manages to collapse the global ecosystem you could say that Nature managed to create its greatest achievement, a species powerful enough to eradicate Nature in totality.

I would even say you could say it's solipsistic, everything is within nature. Would Anon be mad at Discord for his corruption? Or would he say this act was simply inevitable or just a part of the process? That's my philosophical ramble over.

wip, my wrist hurts, will do another one where he isnt a monster next

 

 

>>42577822

What was the family relationship like for the three of them? In the past Celestia was clearly aloof and didn't even notice Luna sinking into despair.

 

 

>>42578210

I assume Anon butted heads with Celestia frequently. She'd be a big orderfag and I imagine he'd want more fluid authority and societal structures. His de facto death would probably accelerate Celestia and Luna's falling out

 

 

>>42577822

Now this, is perfect

Reminds me a little of a certain image of the scarlet king

But to be honest, anon's nightmare form would be very terrifying

 

Think about it:

An old folklore tale about a hermit king that lived within the lush forests, at the highest of mountains, at the deepest of chasms, in the untamed jungles and far away badlands, even in the very skies, his voice was carried by the land's creatures and his presence ever present but comforting and soothing, if you focused you could even hear his wise words carried by the wind...

 

When he fell to madness

The world cried in anger

 

We all lost something that day

A ruler, a wise pony, a brother

And peace was long gone

 

The lands changed into twisted mockeries of themselves

 

The skies screamed, the forests howled, the mountains crumbled down and the very ground cracked open, the land's creatures began to crave for something more, the winds now carried whispers and lullabies that lured ponies away to never be seen again and the lingering feeling of being watched and stalked became commonplace

 

Even the celestial bodies themselves couldn't do much, just watch as how it unraveled

 

How all the lands became a hunting ground

How nowhere was safe

How everypony now became prey

 

Prey for the Wild King

 

 

And why did he go wild?

Well turns out he just really wanted a burger. Ever since the incident, the castle staff has made sure he gets one at least once a week. He doesn't know where it comes from, but he's thought it better not to ask.

Imagine being Celestia in this scenario. You rule for 1,000 years and it's finally all going to pay off. You're gonna have your family back, but your little brother comes out.. wrong. He's a different person, and now it seems as though you wont get your brother back after an eternity of thinking it will be fine eventually.

 

 

>>42578538

I think it’d be important to include that after coming back Anon isn’t TOO different from how he used to be. Celestia can still see bits of the old Anon in this new pony, little things like his body language or his dry sense of humor, it’d be enough to give her a tiny bit of hope that her brother is still in there which makes it suck even more when he just sees her as a weird clingy horse woman that won’t leave him alone

What would Anoncorn in the mirror universe look and be like?

Feral. Cares only for nature and its expansion. Has no interest in his sister's desire to rule everything.

This window, along with a few others depicting him, was on show for a single day before being removed and sent into the royal vault, the sisters didn't care to look upon them any longer after what happened.

Its rumoured that on the long night, mere hours before Luna and Celestia came to blows, the moon princess went into the vault one final time and when she emerged her heart was set on darkness.

 

 

>>42710689

That's some incredibly powerful imagery well done.

 

 

>>42712282

Glad you like the imagery! I wanted the sisters half to be all flowy and detailed while the other was sharp and jagged with the branches, thorns on his horn and the broken glass-rose eye thingy.

The eclipse just looked cool but maybe you can say this battle happened mid way through the change from day to night, neither of them had time to finish raising/lowering their object.

I'm not sure what to do for colours to make it blend well really, my only thought so far has been very colourful on the right where the sisters and elements are then monochromatic on the left where Anon is.

 

 

>>42710689

>"Its not accurate."

>>42710689

>This window, along with a few others depicting him, was on show for a single day before being removed and sent into the royal vault, the sisters didn't care to look upon them any longer after what happened.

kek, I can't help Celestia having this window made and instantly regretting it.

>Celestia and Luna staring at the finished window with stoney expressions

>Celestia:"It's... w- well the technical work is really well done. The artist is clearly very talented. I especially like the style..."

>Luna:"...Why would you commission this?"

>Celestia:"I... was sorta hoping it would be a good way to vent at his loss and reminds us to not make the same mistakes I suppose."

>Luna:"This is just tasteless, that's our brother. It's basically a spit in the face of his memory."

>Celestia:"No you're right, this is just unnecessarily morbid."

>Luna:"It's just making me angry to look at."

>Celestia:"This did not make me feel better at all."

 

 

>>42710689

"Was this at all how you felt that day, brother?"

>the moon stood before the stained glass mural, her eyes moving from the monstrous visage of her sibling to that of her sister

>the one that, in her eyes, had simply chosen to get rid of their brother and his affliction rather than try to save him

>the one that, in her eyes, had hoarded as much of their followers' praise for herself

"If it is, then I see I should have stood by your side even then."

>she turns away from the window, head held high with anger and determination

>before the next moon rise there will be only one throne left in the castle

 

 

>>42713483

I could only imagine that in this AU Celestia would be extremely depressed. Like not one gut punch, but two. The senseless fall of her brother, into her little sister hating her guts and becoming a nightmare.

 

 

>>42718045

Right, this would be the worst one for Celly in particular.

 

 

>>42718045

>>42718401

A Celestia that forces a smile and does her duties for the sake of her ponies, but will break down if something hits too close to home

>But not as impressive as the fuckup that Anon must have delivered to get to this grim result.

>he doesn't know it's Discord's fault

 

 

>>42712150

There's a story to it? I missed that.

 

 

>>42712696

yeah, basic idea was third alicorn Anon brother was connected to the natural world, but the connection was two way, whatever Anonicorn did affected nature, but whatever affected nature fedback into Anonicorn

cue Discord's chaos fuckery screwing up the land so badly that even Alicorn constitution can't resist it, Anonicorn gets corrupted and becomes that thing in the stained glass

 

 

>>42713870

That's a cool idea. I can't see Celestia ever working to 'redeem' Discord against this backdrop though. I don't think she could ever forgive him for this loss.

 

 

>>42713954

there was another idea that Anon was actually the first to forgive him out of the princesses, I'd have to look through the anonicorn paste to see if I can find it though

from what I recall, Nature Anonicorn told reformed Discord he wasn't angry for what he did because "it was only natural" for Discord to do something that evil

nature Anonicorn was sort of weird in how he saw nearly everything as natural so even fucking up his body into a distorted, corrupted form wasn't enough to make him angry cause he expected Discord to do something like that

could be that in this time line it was Anonicorn's idea

>Upon the return and inevitable friendship laser blasting of Anonymous, the final member of the royal family had returned

>While he was catching up on over a millennium of history, he spent much of his free time just exploring an entirely new world

>Which included the vaults of the castle and their many treasures

>The stained glass window, celebrating his defeat by his sisters sat in a back corner of a vault, covered in dust and cobwebs.

>Even in the dull glow of his magic, he could see the craftsmanship in it, but not the full extent of the image

>Anon knew it didn’t belong here

>Without a hint of effort it began to levitate in his magic,leading it up through the castle’s halls and out into the gardens.

>He knew just the spot, the former location of Discord, a peaceful spot.

>With the stained glass gently set down in the grass, his horn glowed and trees sprouted from the earth, twisting and conjoining to form into a display perfectly sized for the glass sheet

>He set the sheet into it and with a final flourish of magic branches and vines locked the pane into place

>The art was beautiful, but terrifying

>His eyes were cross between broken glass and roses, a brilliant red, everything around him was gray to black, a lunar eclipse was in the background

>His sisters and the elements were in brilliant bright colors, their expressions grim

>Anon stood and pondered the image in front of him, the setting sun illuminating it from behind.

>Hooves clicking on the marble walkway snapped him from his revery

Brother…..I see you have been digging in the vaults and archives and you’ve found that abortive piece of art.

>Lunas voice was cold as she stood next to him, staring up at the stained glass

I had stood and looked to this the day before I fell victim to the path of darkness, questioning if we had done the right thing, if I should’ve stood by your side or tried harder to save you before banishing you.

>Anon never spoke, only extending a wing across to his sisters back in a comforting gesture

>Luna leaned into his touch and spoke again, her voice far warmer.

But at last we are whole again, after far too many centuries , now come brother, I must introduce you to your niece Cadence. I believe she insisted on pizza for dinner

 

 

>>42714150

>Anon quietly comforting her while internally sweating

>He doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about

>He just thought the window looked rad

>Especially the crazy monster pony thing on the left side

 

 

>>42714253

Boy, that could get awkward.

 

 

>>42714253

The idea that Anon returns but has no idea what is going on and just treats it like some vivid dream to coast through.

 

 

>>42714546

Going off the three different Anonicorn prompts, Nature anon is definitely the most stereotypical anon. Think about for a second.

 

>King Anon

>took over when the princesses disappeared, has had centuries of life experiences, being a pony, and being responsible for all of ponykind to be way different from the usual anon

 

>Celestia's son

>Has grown up as a pony and has presumably had anywhere from a decade and a half to two decades to chill out and vibe. Experiencing growing up as a pony probably helped.

 

>Nature anon

>Got fucking wiped and tossed out of reality, eventually dropped back into Equestria with none of his memories. Instead has memories of being a human being, a completely different life experience than his pony self. Original Anonicorn was wise druid Jesus stallion, current anon is just stereotypical Anon

 

Even if you set up to have Nature Anon slowly regain his memories back, he still starts off the most stereotypical Anon.

 

 

>>42714570

>>42714570

I find the most interesting one to be King anon

Since it has so many opportunities for stories and

Silly shenanigans previous and post ascension

Specially when canon happens and the possible

Changes to it, Glory be to Big Green!

 

Nature anon has so much potential, about how

Fucked Equus became when he fell to madness

Maybe its like a darkest dungeon kind of deal that

Everything slowly turned into abominations and

dangerous zones, hell maybe the nature imbalance, created a pseudo zone with anomalies and all

Plus he would be the one with more anonness compared to king anon

 

The celestia's son anon, I dont see much potential, maybe some funnies but not much

hey dudes, found anew brush i liked so in the spirit of that i want to do a lineup piece, do we like the look for the nature brother anonstallion?

eventually I want to do a few more of these line ups for other stallions then maybe anonmare too

 

 

---

 

 

it seems the consensus is that nature prince anon is either just enjoying his silly existence or tormented by the uncertainty of his own memories, 'are you sure the only you is you' type shit

 

 

>>42777932

Brother Prince would spend his time, when he returned, with Fluttershy and Tree Hugger, just vibing with the two mares.

 

 

---

 

 

https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/mlp/image/1762/55/1762553814080.png

I had a thought for the brother anon, before the mutation maybe his mane was white like celestia's coat and eyes were the same tealy colour as luna's to match them better before fully changing to the standard anon colours on return

 

 

>>42778557

i put his eye too low

 

 

>>42778570

A tiny bit low, however the --) cheek line makes it work

 

 

>>42780251

imagine your brother comes back after like 1100 years dead and his mane is the wrong colour, he's tinier, he has no idea what you're talking about and he's just slightly deformed not enough to be instantly noticeable but subtly ugly in an uncomfortable way

 

 

>>42778557

You could make a case for brother Anon's mane to originally be a mix of blue and white to reflect the sky and his coat to be maybe spring green. Then when nature gets fucked by Discord, Anon's subsequent deterioration and monstrification can be shown physically by his mane changing to overcast grey to pitch black and his coat rapidly fading from healthy spring to dead winter.

 

 

>>42780613

I like the idea of pure white since then it can be snow or clouds, maybe if he got to full adult before monsterizing his mane would have flown like celestia and lunas looking like a snow drift or a cloud bank

 

 

https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/mlp/image/1762/63/1762633538249.png

>>42780613

>>42780867

something like this I imagine

 

 

>>42781651

That's a little fella.

Honestly, he seems a bit too little and coltish in comparison to be nearly a milennia-or-so old. Make him another head taller and it could work.

 

 

>>42781679

this'd be a year before luna's banishment, its purely my take but I imagine him going monster and being 'killed' young to add to the tragedy and why the sisters never spoke about him

 

 

>>42781684

A fair take. Could also add to the surprise when he returns from friendship timeout as a (near) full-grown Anon rather than the colt they knew.

 

 

---

 

 

https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/mlp/image/1762/70/1762705771887.png

I did the zoomer thing and added a bunch of annotations

 

 

>>42784017

>blue regalia

So thats why lunas shoes dont match her crown and peytral, shes wearing her dead brothers

 

 

>>42784017

So was The Beast actually big or just bigGER than the prince? If the latter, it'd be funny to picture one of these major episode arc villains that's barely taller than Luna

 

 

>>42787001

small in the pic to fit, I imagine it to have been scaled as it was in the window art. Maybe too edgy for mlp's setting but that might work to it's favour thematically, its grossly proportioned and as tall as some trees was what I was thinking.

It being luna's size would be funny but thats still something 5ft tall at the shoulder trying to eat you alive lmao

 

 

https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/mlp/image/1758/02/1758025800199.png

>>42784017

Very nice, and I like you still managed to incorporate blue as his regalia.

>Cutie Mark

It would be too strange if Nature Anon was a blank flank when he had a role and dominion of his own.

I liked the idea in picrel; a grand tree - let's just say it's Yggdrasil - growing proud and free upon the world.

The question then becomes "If he's supposed to become typical Anon, how do we make his mark change?" The show itself shows us that the magic of Cutie Marks is largely robust but not inviolable. Perhaps we could say that because the nature prince had to be effectively ripped away from his domain in order to properly neutralize him, his mark reflected this damage. It's a dead, wizened Yggdrasil ripped from a scorched planet. However to the average onlooker and to Anon himself, it's just a question mark.

Also it's probably just me and a deep sense of loretism, but I take slight issue with his proposed name before he takes Anon as his moniker. Terra is inherently a feminine name. You could say that Tellus is then a natural alternative since it sounds more masculine and still means earth in Latin, but it's the name of a Roman goddess. You'd have to look to Greek for a masculine alternative (Gaia -> Gaius/Gaios). This works somewhat because Gaius is a Latin name too - like Luna and Celestia - and has historical regnal precedent, though Gaius doesn't mean earth in Latin.

 

 

>>42787369

Caelus or Mundus maybe? the name should match luna and celestia, can't be too fancy yknow

I kinda like Terra, its simple and instantly tells you the role. Plus you could play it for comedy with him being a male alicorn, everyone expects a mare especially with a feminine name

 

 

>>42787369

If you want a masculine name then use something like Saturn or Atlas. Sure there not as direct but you could spin in different ways. Maybe corrupted Nature Anon could be known as Saturn; heavily associated agriculture but with a dubious reputation. Or you could just lean into other parts of nature, the sky is still a part of nature and provides the rains for the earth and sky gods are generally masculine.

 

 

>>42787929

>>42787502

So I did some digging into the Roman divinity and found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annona_(mythology)

Our nature prince's name amusingly can be Annon right from the start and all that changes is he rationalises it as the abbreviation of Anonymous during his stasis.

 

 

>>42787929

My votes for Atlas or maybe a masculine spin on Terra, Terran maybe?

 

 

>>42787502

Caelus sounds better, but it would be very close to Celestia. So Mundus would be a more 'balanced' choice.

 

 

>>42788086

lets butcher it to make it masculine sounding

>Annonar

>Annon

>Annonan

>Annonus (anus is in here.)

>Annonas

how bad are we thinking monster nature anon was? Cause I've been thinking of that event being infection AU tier shit, just out of synch completely with the setting's theme

 

 

>>42792143

>infection AU tier shit

Too meme. I suspect it would be more like nature running wild, including all kinds of plants and animals

 

 

>>42792143

Like a rampaging radioactive hurricane.

 

 

>>42792143

>>42792312

I've been thinking of a sort of loose timeline of events since I'd suggested the idea of Celly/Luna/Anon being a Mystical/Spiritual/Natural trio.

>Discord appears

>Nature forced to do what it really shouldn't

>Obviously bad, Celly and Luna track down the Elements to deal with Discord and tell Anon to stay out of harm's way

>Anon doesn't want to tbe sidelined - he plays a major role in the world's functions too, after all

>Even if he does get taken for granted

>Tries to exert his will upon nature to get it back under control, because it's his domain and his gift

>Symbiosis occurs between nature and Anon

>Anon begins his monstrification as his will gets steadily overwhelmed by chaos

>Sisters return in time to witness their brother's suffering

>They act quickly to deal with Discord and hopefully stop whatever going on with Anon in one fell swoop

>Discord petrified, day saved

>Anon doesn't get better

>ohshit.png

>Luna being the spiritually inclined of the three uses her power to see what's happening within Anon to try to help him help himself if she can

>While Celestia being the magically inclined monitors the changes in Anon's magical signature to figure out how to reverse what's happening from the outside safely

>Nothing seems to work, tensions between Luna and Celestia begin to rise

>Anon's monstrification completes, starts turning the verdant Everfree region of Equestria into the Everfree we know

>Creates the timberwolves as extensions of his will

>Fear runs rampant as settlements in the surronding area are consumed within BeastAnon's Everfree Forest

>Another crisis event in such a short time after the last

>Celly and Luna highly reluctant to use the Elements on their baby brother, but know that they must for the good of all

>Hopeful that using them on BeastAnon will just purge him of this corruption and they can be a happy family again

>Harmony beam, job done

>Anon isn't there

>Anon's been sealed outside of this plane to prevent symbiosis between himself and nature

>Spread of the Everfree stopped, but at what cost?

>Celestia is distraught, but must continue to lead the populace in this trying time

>Plans set in motion to vacate the Everfree area and create a new settlement away from its influence - this eventually becomes Canterlot

>Luna meanwhile is inconsolable at the loss of her baby brother

>This and the way Celestia seemingly is trying to quickly move on like she doesn't care (in Luna's eyes) drives an irreparable wedge between the sisters

>Luna's resentment and guilt builds up within her, wishing that she could've been stronger to save Anon when he needed her most

>Monkey's paw curls, starts down the path of Nightmare Moon

>Events proceed largely as we know them in canon

>Except in the end, Celestia gets dealt the shittiest 1-2-3 punch with the rapid loss of her family and the home they'd built together

It's the bare bones of a story, but I'm not a skilled enough writer to knit it together.

 

 

>>42792143

I think it would be something like darkest dungeon when the ancestor found the thing

The animals and plants slowly became more wild and dangerous, an infectious blight started affectin crops and animals, corrosive mushroom kind of deal

Fish creatures started appearing on nearby shores and draggin many into the seas

An increased amount of madness on the populace

A sudden spike of brigand gangs and cultists appearing

The death wont find rest, rising from their

Graves

We just need a crazed pone to create abominations like the pigs from the warrens

Mmmh, Crimson Curse, how about Verdant Curse, the "blessed" by this form of anon

Hell, everything is slowly becoming the Everfree 2.0 Extra fucked Edition

 

 

>>42792143

I thinking a combination of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and SCP

 

Nature mutates into aggressive versions of itself

 

the deep Everfree becomes non euclidian and labyrinthian, filled with no straight paths, there could be precious stones, bountiful trees with delicious fruits but also things like radioactive material and plants that look like flesh

 

Water can flow either way, clouds that enter the everfree behave more like earth typhoons

 

The creatures that survive the deep everfree a the most dangerous animals alive

 

the border everfree like where zecora lives, tend to have less harmful flora and fauna (like poison joke)

 

 

>>42792800

Could you imagine as a pony going from the color whacky bullshit of Discord. To getting jumped by nightmare fuel from the Everfree. From having bubbles randomly pop off your back to getting jumped by a chimera from stalker.

 

 

>>42792800

So Dark Continent/Gourmet World?

 

 

https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/mlp/image/1762/93/1762931066062.png

>>42792800

>>42793065

I wonder if ponies that gained his favor might be given these more monstrous forms as its blessings. Could be a way to introduce Jersey Devils into the setting

 

 

>>42793119

>favor

 

I wouldn't say "favor"

 

Maybe some treasure hunters or explorer who delved too deep into the everfree, who ate a fruit they shouldn't have, took a stone they shouldn't

 

wherein it transformed them into something monstrous

 

 

>>42793119

I wonder if he would have his own subspecies of ponies, much like how Luna has the bats.

 

 

https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/mlp/image/1749/53/1749536941025.png

>>42793136

If they didn't already have a fairly fleshed out history already I would have suggested some connection with the snowponies since they have a very nature harmony angle to them along with being all earth ponies. They even use shaman and druidic magic rather than arcane unicorn magic. They also seem to have a violent streak in their art, interestingly enough

 

 

>>42793170

>>42793136

 

I would propose that before the corruption there weren't any, but years afterward ponies who lived in the everfree(especially who were followers of anon) started to exhibit changes, unicorns have deer or elk like horns instead, pegasai have larger owl owl like wings for silent flight, earth ponies have mossy overcoat the grows on top of their regular coat that acts as a natural camouflage

 

 

>>42792359

this seems like a good timeline, but personally I'm a fan of the idea of Discord being able to see what his chaos has done to Anon, of course back then he found it amusing, but feel guilty in the modern time when he befriends Fluttershy and remembers everything

 

 

>>42793238

"Loose" being the operative word here. What I've posited are the necessary events and not really a hard order. If a better writer wants to run with my ideas and spin them into a timeline that makes more sense to them, I'd be more than okay with that.

Likewise, your idea could also be spun like this if my loose timeline is followed:

>Discord sees Anon's noble yet futile attempt at controlling his chaos

>Finds it hilarious that Anon's sprouted wooden antlers, leaves and prickles

>Doesn't know that's a symptom of a much more sinister problem

>Sealed in stone

>Time passes

>Discord breaks free

>Sees the Everfree Forest

>"That wasn't there before."

>Thinks nothing of it

>Goes off to harangue the Royal Trio to get his jollies, oblivious

>Finds the sisters, but not the brother

>"Oh, where is dear little Nonny? Is he feeling... BUSHED?"

>Luna looks like she'll go medieval on his noodle ass

>Dangerously close to even pushing the Nightmare berserk button

>"THOU KNOW'ST WHAT THOU DID, VILE CREATURE! HOW DARE THEE UTTER HIS NAME!"

>Wasn't the reaction he was expecting at all

>Notices the Equestrian banners depict the duo of sun and moon

>Not the old triskelion of sun, moon and earth that Discord was familiar with

>Haha, very funny. Joke's over now. Where's Anon?

>Discord splits into miniatures to look for Anon in Canterlot

>One of them breaks into the vaults, just in case

>Finds the window depicting Celly and Luna fighting the Beast

>When did that happen?

>Shows the sisters and asks what this is supposed to be/why it's not proudly on display as a victory memento like all the others

>"That's Anon."

>Record scratch

>"That's what he became after what you did."

Cue the denial before he gets Harmony beamed into stone and breaks free again later on for his reformation arc. This timeout gives him ample time for the guilt to gnaw at him in the meantime until he finally learns exactly what happened to Anon.

 

 

>>42793395

There was an interesting green where anon wasn't mad at Discord for what he did because it was in his nature to do so but was surprised by his friendship with fluttershy. I imagine NatureAnon and KingAnon both sometimes think on the same wavelength as Discord so they understand him better than most.

>>42793136

What would be Celestia's then?

 

 

>>42793448

Celestia would have unicorns like Fleur

Luna would have her bats

Anon should have his own earth ponies.

 

 

>>42794391

I would almost say the Crystal Ponies, but that's the realm of Amore/Cadence.

 

 

>>42794408

I would suggest a supspecies of Earth Pony that are part wood. Like timerwolves, yet way less violent.

 

 

>>42794580

how about the swamp ponies like mage meadowbrook? those bayou folk

 

 

>>42794580

>>42794611

What if Timerwolves were originally Anon's tribe of plant ponies who were corrupted because they were connected to him, and swamp ponies like Meadowbrook were either descendants of the few surviving ponies to cut off their connection to Anon and became regular earth ponies, or the descendants of regular ponies that lived among the plant ponies and kept their traditions alive?

 

 

>>42795110

The wolf thing would be pretty grim though.

 

 

>>42795246

nature anon is definitely the darkest out of the 3 alicorn anons this thread has come up with

 

 

>>42795110

>What if Timerwolves were originally Anon's tribe of plant ponies who were corrupted because they were connected to him

>NatureAnon happily trotting towards the Everfree

>now that he's back he's got a lot of work to do

>and who better to help him than his tribes

>everyone doesn't know how to tell him that his ponies are all gone

>assumed wiped out by the beasts of the Everfree

>tells everyone he can sense them still alive

>confusion.jpg

>eventually he drags them directly into a pack of timberwolves

>everyone's immediately on edge

>NatureAnon freezes

>his wings sag at his side

>eyes wide

>horror on his face

>but the timberwolves aren't attacking

>they're just staring back at him

>nopony's sure what to do

>he nearly trips over his own hooves as they shake violently to take one step

>gets closer and closer and the wolves growl but they don't attack or back away

>before anyone can stop him, he wraps one of them in a hug of hooves and wings

>it's barely audible over the choked back sobs, but he whispers

"What did I do to you?"

>NatureAnon basically collapses, hugging the timberwolf close as he wails and sobs out apologies that can never make up for what he did

>the timberwolves seem to join him in his sorrow as they throw their head backs to howl

>all throughout the Everfree, every other timberwolf howls back

 

 

>>42795788

Only other animals understand the words in the howls.

>"The king has returned."

Every other animal (and Fluttershy) cowers in fear with the ominous message.

>>42794417 (OP)

It's crazy how full circle it's gone for ponykind. Before the arrival of the two sisters, Unicorns had to give up their magic every day to keep the rotation of the sun and moon in order. When the sisters arrived, they no longer had to hold that burden, even when Luna was banished, Celestia was more than enough. Anon however? Gets ripped from their reality, and now everybody is on mandatory nature duty effective immediately, the alicorn they cared the least about affected them the most when removed.

 

 

>>42795572

>Sometimes when you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all

I like this quote because it's more true to life than people give it credit for. When everything is running perfectly smoothly, nobody really even notices the processes going on in the background. It's only when things are going wrong that people really start to pay attention.

In that sense, I find the idea that nature ran so smoothly under Nature Anon that it was practically comparable to RL nature.

To the point there are even a significant chunk of ponies who didn't even realize that all the natural events they take for granted are entirely manually run. Maybe the understood Anon exists and keeps the world running on an intellectual level, but they never quite internalized just what that meant until he was gone and Pegasi and Earth Ponies suddenly had to take care of everything again like their ancestors had to pre-unification.

 

 

>>42795617

I was thinking about how the Princesses make a show of how they raise the sun and moon. Yet Anon never had that one flashy spell. He never stood upon a stage to show the ponies what he did for the world.

>Anon must travel up the mountain

what does he find up there?

 

 

>>42796185

his own corpse

 

 

>>42796307

The Beast is so big that its bones became a mountain when it was slain.

 

 

>>42797560

>monster's corpse vast enough to form a landscape feature

I can dig it

 

 

https://i.4cdn.org/mlp/1763104618820457.jpg

>>42797560

>>42797602

 

How big are we talking here?

 

 

>>42798441

I think mountain sized would be too much, maybe building sized. Lets say its body formed a chunk of the everfree so big enough you'd mistake the ribs for some trees.

Assuming the elements didnt just disintegrate him entirely of course

 

 

>>42798791

I think it would be far more heart wrenching if the elements didn't vaporize him and he just died in his corrupted form + no returning consciousness, no terminal lucidity scene.

 

 

>>42799583

Yeah, it would turn it into a complete tragedy.

I hope it's not the S9 one. That was bad.

I see NatureAnon being Kronk to Cozy's Yzma. He goes along with her because she's his only friend and he thinks she's funny and fun to be around.

sibling timeline lore

>Luna has a custom made plushie of Anon. It smells like Pine and has a 'hug' enchantment built in.

>Celestia dedicated two segments of the royal vault to each of her siblings preserving everything from their clothes and diaries to tapestries, portraits, literature and stained-glass of them.

>There's a magically hidden area in the royal gardens accessed by taking a weird turn in the hedge maze, inside is a moon dial, a grove of trees and a statue of both lost royals. Celestia, before Luna's return, would sometimes spend her night wrapped around the statue as she slept.

>Without the earth Alicorn to manage the weather Pegasi had to form their tradition of weather management in his stead.

>The Breezies ferry spores, pollen and seeds across Equestria as a traditional rite of payment to the lost prince who they claim created their hidden home for them.

>While his magic alone would be useful if he was on their side Discord wasn't released solely for that, Celestia wanted to see if he could undo what he did that caused Anon's corruption in the first place.

>The bones of The Beast exist in the darkest and most hostile zone of a cursed forest. When the sisters faced it the elements scoured the beast till it was nothing more than blackened, twisted bones.

>In reality Anon's body was torn apart, what wasn't wholly corrupted was sent into the void or a pocket dimension maintained by Harmony to heal.

>Star Swirl dismissed Anon due to his weaker magic than his sisters and more nebulous role as an Alicorn, "He's younger and his role can easily be filled by the tribes."

>Sadly Star Swirl has been proven somewhat right, even without the Alicorn to manage the warped natural world, Equestria gets on largely fine. Though Star Swirl didn't understand at the time what exactly the youngest alicorn was supposed to do.

>Anon had a huge crush on Princess Amore.

>Just as Celestia had a pet phoenix, Anon had a pet cat. the position of royal mouser was implemented to give his cat a rank and is carried on into today.

>Anon's role wasn't to constantly manage 'nature' like Luna and Celestia do the sun & moon rather his role was the stabilise it, bring the world back into balance instead with his death nature was wrecked.

>Outside of Equestria the weather is chaotic and violent, within Equestria it functionally doesn't work unless managed by ponies manually

>Outside of Equestria the weather is chaotic and violent

>NatureAnon goes globe trotting (heh) to fight the most out of control weather that have essentially become self-sustaining natural disasters

I don't think we recognize how funny the Nature Anon idea is. If Celestia lost one sibling it'd be a fluke, but losing two is essentially confirmation that she's the worst sister ever.

Well, quick anon recap

We have created the followin series of anons

>King/Regent Anon

Basically sunbutt banished herself alongside moonbutt and harmony decided to get something to replace them, it got an anon, he managed to ascend, ruled for 1000 years and its making sure canon happens, wise and old but still an Anon, can go full DBZ on someone's ass, went overkill with magic and deemed it too edgy to use, its fucking tired, hoping the sisters return to take their place, discord is his advisor/bro also, chryssy avoids him like the plague

>Nature Anon

The sisters had a brother Annon, he represented the land and nature, maybe had its own tribe of pones, after discord fucked up the land to extremes, it ended up having effects on him, turned him into an end of the world abomination kind of deal, everything nature related became dangerous to the extremes, their pones became the timberwolves, the sisters ended up using the elements on him, literally killed him, boney remains turned into a mountain in the everfree, he somehow returned but its not the same, its an anon now

>Tarzan Anon

Similar to previous but extremely unga bunga and the everfree is his home

> P.D Anon

Latest Anon, coffee fueled, batpony, could be THE BatPone, maybe Daring Doo nemesis not only as an adventurer but also as a writer just imagine angry staring from between 2 booths at a book convention

If I missed an anon, let me know

 

 

>>42849646

Dig the Tarzan one the most, the twist of his reincarnation being an Anon feels like a little too much.

 

 

>>42850135

speaking as someone who wrote a bunch for it, it is very donut steel. Though I think thats kind of the point, their brother is for all intents and purposes dead, you may have been him or he you once but that isnt the person you are now and from your pov you've never been him. Celestia & Luna summoning you to Equestria to tell you you're their baby brother, the pillars telling you about their interactions with a kid they insist is you and twilight asking you about the sister's as fillies would just be bizarre and unbelievable they're just a cartoon, this world is fake but on the other end if you explained that it'd just come across very convenient.

>"Oh so you just happened to reaaallly like a 'cartoon' all about Equestria? Sounds like you're just trying to make sense of a connection or memories of here you couldn't make sense of there."

 

 

>>42850146

I will agree that it's an interesting lens to explore the concept of imposter syndrome with, but I also really want to read about the "real" Prince's reaction to how structured and reined in nature has become in his absence.

 

 

>>42850146

>>"Oh so you just happened to reaaallly like a 'cartoon' all about Equestria? Sounds like you're just trying to make sense of a connection or memories of here you couldn't make sense of there."

This is how I would explain NatureAnon's stasis-life.

>Through of the Power of Plot Contrivances, Annon's stasis was neither perfect nor absolute

>This is why he "matured" physically rather than stay very coltish upon his return

>Harmony needed to perform a careful restructuring of Annon's mind after Discord's chaos ravaged it

>And because of this imperfect stasis, Annon has an unconscious level of awareness of being, meaning his mind is susceptible to both maturation and stagnation

>However, his being "outside" Equestria means his little stasis bubble is close enough to other spheres of influence for them affect him just enough and change his perception of himself

>This is convenient for Harmony, being able to repair Annon enough while his mind can dream of living his life and rekindle his personality

>Obviously this will backfire, but Harmony is a fundamental concept, not a being so all it's really doing is bringing balance back to one of its creations

>It doesn't really "know" that Annon's balance is different to what it was before because of these influences

>The cartoon is a sign of Annon's stasis weakening, that he's becoming more aware of the world he came from

>No mention of him, because why would it? It's not real to him and he has no memories of ever living there

>His mind just blanks out the parts where it might've come up offhand

>His sisters (Celestia mainly) sheltered Annon from any official regnal duties when he was "alive", so it was never strictly necessary for him to write his name down

>All he knows is what his name sounds like, vaguely, but it sounds weird to him at first when it's all he knows

>Basically the effect of repetition of a word making it feel like it isn't a word anymore

>His brain then made the logical leap of "Annon is a strange pronunciation of Anon, which is an abbreviation of Anonymous, so that must be my actual name because it sounds better."

>His 4chan equivalent is the vehicle for Harmony imposing some form of order upon the lingering chaos in his mind

>[spoiler]tfw he realises Dead Internet Theory was real all along because it was just Annon screeching at himself for all that time[/spoiler]

>>42850160

There's nothing stopping you or anyone here from exploring that angle if that's what captures your fancy. A lot of the ideas that have been conceived thus far are largely spitballs anyway.

 

 

>>42850231

I think I prefer the version where NatureAnon really did get banished to Humanworld by the Elements rather than all of his human life being some kind of hallucination. I think it’d be a little bit too fucked up if he was pushing away his family because he was still clinging on to an identity that was never even real (I also think we should save all the misery and angst for Celestia because it’s funny)

 

 

>>42850649

>it’d be a little bit too fucked up if he was pushing away his family because he was still clinging on to an identity that was never even real

He would go through an identity death when his monstrification occurs so I suppose it doesn't really matter whether his time as a human was real or not. However, I think it would work better if it was a dream.

>"Am I a man dreaming I'm a horse? Or a horse dreaming I am a man?"

As the ideas keep snowballing, I can see a large part of NatureAnon's theme is his identity and self-perception.

>Youngest of three

>Large responsibility

>Most see him as a spare, nebulous or superfluous

>Starswirl spends much of his time with Celly and Lulu because he sees them as far more powerful than the little prince and therefore it's not worth guiding "the lesser"

>Doesn't get to spend much time with his sisters

>Underappreciated because his governance isn't as immediately obvious as raising night and day

>Discord fucking nature up? Looks like a job for Prince Annon!

>"I can show everyone that I'm just as capable as my sisters!"

>"I'm a big boy! I can handle it!"

>Oh no, symbiosis

>Discord thinks it's hilarious

>Oh no, self-esteem dropping

>Sisters reappear to see his failure

>Oh no, self-esteem plummeting

>Discord petrification

>Whoops, Anon monstrification

>Total identity death

>Orbital laser

It would be a great cosmic irony if the new identity the Nature Prince forges for himself was not at all natural and instead built from the remains of what chaos did to him, what Harmony could salvage after that, his own unconscious perception of himself and his idealisation of a family unit he didn't get to experience with a little sprinking of external collective unconsciousness. I also see it as a better fit for his banishment if he's not simply isekai'd.

>Luna governs the moon, gets banished to the moon

>Celestia governs the sun, logically gets banished to the sun

>Annon basically governs the land and sky

>However, BeastAnnon is now symbiotically tied to land and sky

>Sealing Annon within the world would be completely catastrophic because they're inextricably tied

>Can't seal Equestria into Annon for obvious reasons

>Banishment divide by zero error

>Shunt him to the co-ordinates of least resistance outside of spacetime

Ultimately I'm just going with what I think makes the most sense.

we had the one idea that harmony separated anon from the chaos beast form leaving its bones in the woods. Like harmony put a clump of non-corrupted meat in the void to grow a new skeleton

Sketch for natureAnon if he became an adult instead of dying

 

 

>>42850568

Is Naturanon as tall as this?

>INB4 Harmonic Convergence and Corruption or whatever made him shorter than he should be

Stallionlet...

 

 

>>42850601

stallions are slightly taller than mares therefore i concluded alicorn stallion would be slightly taller than alicorn mares

do you like the mane? it ended up being a fun coincidence since the other anonicorn has a goku style mane

i [spoiler]really like his mane[/spoiler]

 

 

>>42850611

It's a very cute mane, and a fun contrast from the comparatively dreary hair of an anon. Kind of another symbol of just how much he 'changed'.

>>42850568

since NMM seems to have solo'd everything in her timeline would she be able to resurrect her dead babybro in that timeline too

 

 

>>42850741

I wonder if NMM keeps her brother close at all times. [spoiler]I wonder if she prefers being the big or little spoon.[/spoiler]

 

 

>>42850827

Big spoon. Nightmare PROTECC.

 

 

>>42850827

>I wonder if NMM keeps her brother close at all times. I wonder if she prefers being the big or little spoon.

Imperial Prince Annon is the Empress's closest advisor, always at her side taking notes or passing along her orders.

At bedtime (the new term for 'night time' in the eternal nightscape of Equestria) the Prince resides in a suite next to his imperial sister's. In reality they've been sleeping in the same bed since the banishment of Celestia, Empress Nightmare makes use of her advisor/sibling for preening, mane brushing and as a living plushie, when she sleeps the empress drags him into bed and tucks him against her with her wings enveloping him like a blanket with his snout pressed into her chest. Not only does this bring the empress comfort, it relaxes her after a stressful day and keeps her temper in check enough at least that the prince's place as royal cuddler may have prevented a few unfortunate incidents such as impromptu executions and massacres.

[spoiler]constantly being coated in the empress's scent however has proven to be a deterrent against suitors for the prince's hoof.[/spoiler]

 

 

>>42850918

>All it takes for Moonie to not order entire populations be massacred is giving her a stallion to cuddle

How does one idea make me love her so much more than I already do?

 

 

>>42850928

Nightmare was born from Luna's bitterness and jealousy, I imagine being able to revive her brother and have a sibling that's beneath her does alot for her sense of superiority over Celestia and any kind of need for closeness

 

 

>>42850953

>"Look at how kind and gracious I am to my less- my DEAR SIBLING. Give him praise, now."

Aggressive big sis

 

 

>>42850918

>[spoiler]constantly being coated in the empress's scent however has proven to be a deterrent against suitors for the prince's hoof.[/spoiler]

I could see this going one of two ways. Either she intentionally keeps any mare at least a wing's length away from him (preferably more) to keep him to herself, or she first makes sure any potential suitor is 120% loyal to her and the empire first before even introducing them to each other. [spoiler]And even then she only has permission to have him during the 'day'. At night he's right back in Moon's chamber[/spoiler]

 

 

>>42853253

If Moonie is evil-evil she'd marry him herself, if Moonie doesn't want to jump his bones she'd marry him off to somepony she could ensure the loyalty of like that timeline's rainbow or rarity, or possibly cadence.

 

 

>>42850918

Imperial Prince Annon is the only one who could mantain nature within a realm of eternal night. Though, I'm curious what their relationship would even be like? Anon wouldn't view himself as Annon, Nightmare Moon would blame it Celestia killing him.

 

 

https://i.4cdn.org/mlp/1765371760410886.jpg

>>42850568

I didn't have the chance to comment on this earlier, but I just want to say I really like this design, both the reference and how it contrasts with King Anon, and how it fits the exact theme to Natureanon.

His whole thing being thee Earth and Nature, and the way his mane and tail are clouds representing the sky while his green furred body represents the earth and plants, is really inspired.

Like, I don't even know if that was intentional, but it works really fucking well, great job!

 

 

---

 

 

>>42850741

What would a timeline ruled over by Beast Anon look like?

 

 

>>42851271

I imagine it wouldn't be much of a 'ruling' at all, just pure survival of the fittest in an overgrown land of natural disaster. Monstrous weathers, extreme seasons, prehistoric level creatures. All of Equestria would just be a hellish jungle and its king would be its wildest beast.

 

 

>>42851402

Ponykind would be forced to adapt. Wild Mares and Stallions. Tribes. It would be like Zecora's group, but more extreme.

>Celestia was good at the silly voices that made Luna giggle and Annon coo, one of her few trump cards over Luna's tantrums and Annon's fussiness.

 

 

>>42857040

Reads a little wonkily at the back half, as it's not immediately clear who's throwing tantrums until the very last line. That should've been upfront, because it otherwise reads a little like Celestia's internal admonishments of her own confusing thoughts on being seen as a mother to her baby brother.

>Which unfortunately meant she had to deal with every [one of Luna's] tantrum[s] about the 'stupid servants' taking away Annon for feedings, bathing or any other things babies require that a little filly simply can't and shouldn't do especially when said little filly should be studying and practicing.

Celestia cannot fight her motherly instincts. Coltanon needs a mommy and she fits the bill.

The worst that would happen is everyone saying "Dawwww" and "What an adorable little foal!" then returning to their business. Celestia overreacting as usual.

I'm pretty sure that's Luna carrying Anon - she's got her hairstyle and doesn't have Celestia's sideburn curl thing.

 

That's either Celestia in the background or a very damp Cadance.

 

 

>>42861557

The outline looks like it's too tall for Cadence. So it's probably Celestia.

Honestly, that would suck. Him feeling out of place is understandable, but ditching them altogether would be terrible.

 

 

>>42862147

Anon fucking off to the Everfree forest was a part of the original idea. Something like "it was the only place that felt right."

 

 

---

 

 

If natureAnons monster bones are a place you can visit surely theres been multiple times where someone has tried to steal or harvest the bones for their own purposes. Whenever the monster is brought up i imagine it was using dark magic rather than alicorn or chaos magic since the monster anon would have been horribly unstable right

 

 

>>42862161

I imagine the sheer hostility and danger that surrounds The Beast's corpse makes it very difficult to find and harvest it for necromantic materials.

 

That said, if someone was brave, and foolish, and lucky enough to acquire such artifacts... if the Sisters (or Sister, depending on the point in time) found out what they were fueling their spells with, I think they would find themselves very soon praying for death.

 

 

>>42862170

Beast bones could be extremely volatile but potent amplifiers for dark magic, but if you handle them poorly it can very easily backfire and corrupt you. Maybe BB misuse is how you get wendigo type dudes or skyrim type nutjob wizards hiding out in the woods.

Actually now that I think about it something Annon owned or the bones could be a good origin for the alicorn amulet

>the only sounds that echo on the walls are the metallic creaking of the stool you're leaning too far back on, and the mechanical clicks of whatever contraption your savior is tinkering with

>he hasn't spoken much since he angrily snatched you away from your would-be jailers after your ill-fated attempt to take over the world

>things kind of went from 100 to 0 pretty much instantly and the silence is starting to get a little awkward

"...So, mister! What's your story? You must be pretty close with the Princesses to be able to get into a shouting match like that and get away with it..."

>you already knew who he was of course

>everypony knew about Princess Celestia's two long-lost siblings that showed up all those years ago, even if this one barely showed his face in public

>but asking him anyway was the first step to endearing yourself to him

>ponies all love to talk about themselves

>he looks up from his work, seemingly having forgotten about your existence

>"Huh? Oh, I'm supposed to be their brother. Or used to be. Or still am. One of those. Hard to tell, sometimes."

>what?

"what?"

>of all the answers you were expecting, that wasn't one of them

>why is he talking like he doesn't know who he's supposed to be?

>"Yeah they banished me to another dimension or something. Or killed me. Or both. I don't really know the specifics but they seemed pretty damn sure that they got the right guy."

>you didn't know the Prince had amnesia

>"Hey do you wanna see my skeleton upstairs? It's some crazy shit. I made a magic ballista out of one of my femurs but everypony keeps telling me it's 'gross and unsanitary' and that 'Beast Bones are dangerous magical artifacts and I shouldn't be treating them like toys myeh myeh myeh myeh' but I bet you would get a kick out of it."

"You live under your own skeleton?"

>"Oh yeah totally, it's badass. That thing is massive, you kinda missed it since I teleported us in here but it's like the sickest evil lair on the planet probably."

"Golly, mister! Are you sure you're not a villain?"

>you felt the beginnings of a smile crawling up your face

>this might just be the start of a wonderful friendship

>anon sprays her with a water bottle like a misbehaving pet

"No, no evil plotting. Without consulting me first."

Assuming she isn't the way she is because of some horrible trauma or being a homunculus having a dad figure would probably fix Cozy glow.

How would (you) fix Cozy /Anonstallion/s?

I do like the earlier idea of anon being her henchman and get out of jail card for her schemes while secretly wrangling her worst impulses by being a clumsy himbo.
