Anon is sick of Fluttershy's shit, so he devises a plan to psychologically destroy her using gnomes
-
4.
-
5.
>Be Anon
-
6.
>And be clearing out old inventory for Filthy Rich
-
7.
>He'd been meaning to get someone to clear out the storage room of Barnyard Bargains, but the cheap bastard couldn't find anyone willing to do for less than reasonable pay
-
8.
>Luckily for him and unluckily for (you), you needed cash
-
9.
>Apparently, government gibs don't last forever and your ass actually needed to find meaningful employment
-
10.
>A few bottom of the barrel odd jobs later, and you're hauling crates of shit into a wagon for Filthy, and taking that shit to the dump
-
11.
>He told you that you could dump all the old merchandise into the river for all he cares, so long as you get it off his property by sundown
-
12.
>Amongst the miscellaneous goods you find various trinkets and baubles but pay them no mind
-
13.
>Until you spot a low hanging shelf with... gnomes?
-
14.
>Lots and lots of them too!
-
15.
Heh, Filthy must've bought them in bulk but they never sold
-
16.
>Getting back to work, you load them into a crate and plan on discarding them along the rest of the unsold goods
-
17.
>But then a certain idea pops into your head
-
18.
No... these are too good to give up...
-
19.
>In fact, you know a certain yellow pony that could use a good scare
-
20.
>Mulling over the details, you begin to form quite the devious plot
-
21.
>So instead of getting rid of them, you take that shipment back home and hide them in your closet before returning to work to finish the job
-
22.
>It'll be a multi-stage plan, but the payoff will be worth it
-
23.
>Tonight... tonight is when your revenge begins...
-
24.
-
25.
>Be Fluttershy the next day
-
26.
>And today you're certain your fetish guess will be correct!
-
27.
>You dress yourself with a white button-up shirt, black vest, and bow tie around your neck and torso
-
28.
>You also pack a kit with a Cocktail shaker, glasses, some Liquor bottles, sliced fruits, and rohypnol
-
29.
>You plan on wooing Anon with your cocktail making skills
-
30.
>Maybe then he'll give you HIS cocktail...
-
31.
>Smiling to yourself in the mirror, you're certain today is the day
-
32.
>Loading everything up, you trot to your front door and head out to go to Anon's house
-
33.
>But when you open your door you spot... a gnome?
-
34.
>A regular-sized garden gnome is standing some several feet away from your front door
-
35.
>How'd this thing get here?
-
36.
O-oh my! ...Are you, um, lost, little one?
-
37.
>The gnome, of course, doesn't answer
-
38.
>Taking a step forward, you see a little note tucked under it
-
39.
>Grabbing it, it says "Pay Tribute or face retribution."
-
40.
...What? Who... who did this?
-
41.
>You look around, hoping to spot the prankster but see no one
-
42.
>You frown at this poor joke
-
43.
Hmf! It's not very nice to leave things by peoples front doors. But... maybe you'll look nice by my petunias.
-
44.
>Studying it a little, it's sort of cute looking
-
45.
>So, you choose to keep it
-
46.
>Putting down your cocktail kit, you move the gnome right into your garden underneath the windowsill
-
47.
>All in all, while it might've been a silly prank you got a nice little garden decoration out of it
-
48.
>Feeling satisfied with its spot, you look at the clock through your window
-
49.
Oh no! I'm running late! Anon get's so upset when I catch him after he's finished breakfast, I'm supposed to show up while he's eating!
-
50.
>With that, you trot off not knowing that this was simply phase 1 of many, MANY more...
-
51.
-
52.
>Be Anon again
-
53.
>And be fucking pissed
-
54.
>That bitch tried to roofie you this morning
-
55.
>Again!
-
56.
>But you have to admit she did a good job pouring that drink
-
57.
>The way she was flipping the shaker and catching it in the air and how she managed to pour the cocktail while leaning backwards over her head was genuinely impressive
-
58.
>Of course, she took your reaction as sexual excitement and spilt the damn thing all over your shirt in her own eagerness
-
59.
>And the dumbass forgot she roofied the drink, so when she leaned in to huff your chest and run her tongue along you, she passed out
-
60.
>You just left her there to go to work
-
61.
>But you're still pissed and you've decided to move onto phase 2
-
62.
>Like before, you wait until the middle of the night before heading out
-
63.
>With your second gnome in store, you carry it to Fluttershy's cottage
-
64.
>There, you see the first gnome by her windowsill
-
65.
>Seems she adopted it
-
66.
>That's fine, in fact, you predicted as much
-
67.
>Moving the first gnome along with the second, you place them directly in front of her door like before
-
68.
>And you leave a second note for her to discover
-
69.
>With that, you leave knowing she'll no doubt be perturbed by the porcelain duo ready to greet her tomorrow morning
-
70.
>And if that doesn't do the trick, believe me, you have a LOT more gnomes to leave around
-
71.
>Be it one, two, or a dozen more, she'll crack
-
72.
>And then she'll... uh... leave you alone or something
-
73.
>Or have a psychological breakdown
-
74.
>Either way, you head home
-
75.
-
76.
>Be a yellow rapist again
-
77.
>That's right, you're Fluttershy
-
78.
>You yawn as you wake up and get out of bed
-
79.
>Brushing your teeth with Anon's toothbrush you stole, you move onto feeding the animals, feeding yourself, and checking the mailbox and-
-
80.
>You freeze
-
81.
>Not one, but TWO gnomes greet you
-
82.
>Their beady, lifeless eyes stare at you
-
83.
>Dread creeps in as you look down and see a small note tucked underneath one of them
-
84.
>Hesitantly, you approach the pair and see the note reads:
-
85.
>"TRIBUTE OR RETRIBUTION"
-
86.
>You're breath hitches
-
87.
>...This is still just a prank, right? ...Right?
-
88.
>You say, to no one in particular
-
89.
>Not knowing what to do, you move the first gnome back by the windowsill and the second one next to it
-
90.
>You were going to go to Anon's again, but this seems more important...
-
91.
>You were planning on making some banana bread... maybe you'll leave a slice out
-
92.
>For... the gnomes or something
-
93.
>Quietly, you sneak back inside and shut the door
-
94.
>Just for today... Anon's house can wait
-
95.
-
96.
>Be Anon
-
97.
>And be feeling like a million bits
-
98.
>With no Flutters fucking up your morning, you got off to a great start
-
99.
>You had a handful of simple jobs but you accomplished them with the fortitude of a simple man eager to earn his keep
-
100.
>Mayor Mare had you clean up some graffiti on some back streets, Vinyl needed a hand moving sound equipment to the gazebo in the park, and Mr. Cake had you take a busted oven to Rusty Gears to get it scrapped
-
101.
>All in all, you got a bit of coin from all that
-
102.
>...Is this what productive members of society feel like?
-
103.
>For the first time, you think that maybe, just maybe, Ponyville can actually be a place you could call home-
-
104.
>"G-good afternoon, Anon"
-
105.
>Goddamnit
-
106.
>Any momentary joy you were feeling is evaporated the moment Fluttershy decided to remind you of her existence
-
107.
>Turning around, you see her standing there slouched over a bit with her mane covering most of her face
-
108.
>She seems... more trepid than usual
-
109.
>Good, the plan is working
-
110.
What do you want? I'm busy.
-
111.
>"I, u-um, I'm v-very sorry I was too busy to come by this morning... I was going to ask if-"
-
112.
No
-
113.
>"O-oh... okay. Um... it was very nice to see you but I have to go-"
-
114.
Yeah, me too.
-
115.
>With that, you walk away
-
116.
>Fluttershy too starts heading back home
-
117.
>You can't help but smile to yourself
-
118.
>Via gnome warfare, you've already planted a seed of uncertainty within her psyche
-
119.
>Normally, she'd spend much more time and energy harassing you but she seems eager to return home in case something happens in her absence
-
120.
>And she's right to feel that way because...
-
121.
>Tonight, you'll move onto stage 3
-
122.
-
123.
>Waiting for nightfall and wearing all black, you make your way to Fluttershy's cottage with a small gnome in hand
-
124.
>You don't want her getting wise, so tonight you have to be more careful in case she's watching
-
125.
>Approaching her cottage, you crouch down and stop by her mailbox some distance from her home
-
126.
>opening it, you leave it in there along with another note
-
127.
>Sneaking forwards, you approach the windowsill with the two gnomes
-
128.
>On it is several slices of banana bread covered in tinfoil
-
129.
>You snag them and start eating
-
130.
Hmf. Y'know, she's an alright cook when she's not putting drugs into this shit
-
131.
>Of course, you don't plan on ending things here with some meagre banana bread as your only reward
-
132.
>No, no, no, you want RETRIBUTION for all the things she's done to you
-
133.
>Stage 4, Stage 5, Stage fucking 100
-
134.
>You're just getting started...
-
135.
>After licking your fingers clean, you sneak out of there and return home knowing Fluttershy's going to wake up to a very special surprise in her mailbox
-
136.
-
137.
>Be Fluttershy once more
-
138.
>You get out of bed with a bit more haste than usual
-
139.
>Skipping your morning routine and putting a pause on feeding the animals, you go straight to the front door and find...
-
140.
>Nothing
-
141.
>No gnomes today... and it looks like the banana bread was eaten!
-
142.
>Prankster or gnome-demon, whoever it was, they accepted the offering
-
143.
>Hopefully they now leave you alone
-
144.
>Going back to your usual morning routine, you finally get around to checking the mailbox and see..
-
145.
*Gasp* B-but I...!
-
146.
>You see a small gnome tucked inside and another note
-
147.
>Grabbing it, it reads:
-
148.
>"Tribute unacceptable. RETRIBUTION INNIMENT!"
-
149.
I-I...
-
150.
>You choke back some tears
-
151.
>This isn't a prank anymore! Somepony is going to do something bad if this keeps going on!
-
152.
I'm going to Twilight! She'll know what to do!
-
153.
>Little do you know, a certain someone was hiding out of sight waiting for you to leave...
-
154.
>You walk at a brisk pace to Twilight's Treebrary
-
155.
>Practically sprinting for you
-
156.
>You arrive and knock on the front door
-
157.
>Twilight opens it
-
158.
>"Oh, hello Fluttershy! What brings you out here so early? I don't open the Library until-"
-
159.
TWILIGHT, I'M BEING ATTACKED WITH GNOMES!
-
160.
>The words fly out of your mouth and Twilight stares at you dumbfounded
-
161.
>"...I'm... sorry? Could you repeat that?"
-
162.
Somebody keeps leaving gnomes at my cottage and little notes about "Tributes" and "Retribution" and I left some banana bread but that wasn't good enough and their going to get me and-
-
163.
>"Whoa, whoa, slow down. Alright, look. If someone's harassing you with gnomes I can come over and take a look at them if you'd like. Whoever's behind it either has a bizarre sense of humour or doesn't understand that they're bothering you."
-
164.
*Sniff* So there isn't a gnome demon after me...?
-
165.
>Twilight places a hoof on your shoulder
-
166.
>"No, Fluttershy. There's no gnome demon. Let me see these gnomes and the two of us can figure something out, okay?"
-
167.
O-okay, Twilight. ...Thanks for not laughing at me. I was scared you'd make fun of me for being scared of something so silly...
-
168.
>"I wouldn't laugh at you, Fluttershy. let's go."
-
169.
>The two of you trot off, not knowing what's taken place already...
-
170.
-
171.
>Returning home with Twilight by your side, you see your front door slightly ajar
-
172.
>You're pretty sure you closed it, did Angel Bunny sneak out?
-
173.
>You open the front door and see nothing out of the ordinary
-
174.
>...Until you see something resting on your side table next you your couch
-
175.
>A tiny porcelain gnome with beady eyes and a malicious smile stares up you
-
176.
>You let out a scream
-
177.
T-Twilight! The gnomes are invading!
-
178.
>Twilight approaches with a frown
-
179.
>"Fluttershy, nobody's invading! But someone is definitely crossing some lines by entering without..."
-
180.
>Twilight trails off
-
181.
>You see her staring at something
-
182.
>Following her line of sight, you see ANOTHER small gnome inside one of the bird cages
-
183.
>And then a third one tucked between two books on your bookshelf!
-
184.
T-there everywhere!
-
185.
>"I... okay, new plan! First, we round up all the gnomes. After that, we'll catalogue them and start investigating this! This is... I can't deny that this is getting creepy".
-
186.
>The two of you start searching around the cottage
-
187.
>You find gnomes all over
-
188.
>One in the sink, one under your pillow, one inside the ice box, one in the fireplace...
-
189.
>They're everywhere!
-
190.
>After one hour, you and Twilight find 23 gnomes altogether scattered around the cottage
-
191.
>Then, you spend another full hour looking for the 24th
-
192.
>"There has to be 24! Nobody would leave 23! It's two dozen, it has to be!"
-
193.
>Twilight has stray hairs sticking up in her mane
-
194.
>She, like yourself, is convinced there has to be a 24th BUT YOU JUST CAN'T FIND IT
-
195.
Twilight! I can't go to sleep knowing there's one still in here! Is it under the floor boards? IS IT UNDER THE FLOOR BOARDS, TWILIGHT!?
-
196.
>You're breathing heavily
-
197.
>Twilight comes up and nuzzles you
-
198.
>"Shh, shh... Just... you can stay at my place for tonight. Let's keep looking, but maybe we did get them all?"
-
199.
>You're not fully convinced but you try to calm down
-
200.
>Taking a deep breath, you feel your heartrate go down
-
201.
>"This is what we'll do. We'll take these 23 small gnomes, the other small gnome you found in your mailbox, and the two normal sized ones all back to my place. I'm going to scan each and every one of them for any sort of magical signature. Do you still have the notes? I'll examine those as well. But if this keeps going on... maybe we should go to the guard."
-
202.
The guard!? You really think we should?
-
203.
>"...I don't know. Maybe we're just overreacting, but somebody entered your home and is demanding "tributes". Even as a joke, that sounds like extortion. If this is a prank by Rainbow or Pinkie, I'm going to talk to them and demand that they apologise."
-
204.
>You sniff and nod your head
-
205.
>The two of you spend another 20 minutes looking for anymore gnomes but don't find any
-
206.
>Half-convinced there really is only 23 scattered around, the two of you start loading them all up and take them to Twilight's place
-
207.
>You're not so much scared of spending the night at Twilight's place with a bunch of gnomes there, but rather, you're scared more gnomes will show up at your cottage demanding more tribute
-
208.
>With that, the two of you head off
-
209.
>You really want to see Anon
-
210.
>He always makes you feel better...
-
211.
-
212.
>Be Anon
-
213.
>And be amused
-
214.
>You can't risk returning to Fluttershy's cottage every time just to see her reaction
-
215.
>But you know she had a good scare after you heard from Lyra that she and Twilight were hauling gnomes back to the Library
-
216.
>But Twilight's involvement leads to some... complications
-
217.
>She'll no doubt try to trace it back to you
-
218.
>For now, you'll put a temporary pause on things
-
219.
>The both of them are on high-alert at the moment
-
220.
>Who knows if Twilight left some sort of magic ward that'll notify her if someone steps onto Fluttershy's property or something
-
221.
>You don't have a magic signature, but it might detect movement or body-heat or whatever instead
-
222.
>Tonight, the Gnome King sleeps knowing he's won the battle
-
223.
>And he plans on winning the war...
-
224.
-
225.
>Be Twilight, later that day
-
226.
>The first floor of your library looks, quite frankly, bizzare
-
227.
>There are 26 gnomes lined up with evidence tent cards next to each of them, numbering the items
-
228.
>Painstakingly, you've examined each and every one of them using magic
-
229.
>Besides the standard background ambient magic in all things, there's no discernable signature
-
230.
>So either the culprit masked their signature... or a Gnome Demon moved them using supernatural abilities
-
231.
>A silly thought, really
-
232.
>...But let's not dismiss anything too quickly
-
233.
>After scanning them, you and Fluttershy went to the Market
-
234.
>There, you looked around for any stalls selling gnomes or garden decor
-
235.
>The only stall selling any was Roseluck's, but she only carried a few
-
236.
>You'd asked if she sold any recently but she shook her head
-
237.
>Fluttershy stood several paces back while you interrogated Roseluck
-
238.
>She's... not very trusting of gnome-sellers at the moment
-
239.
>Having no luck, you sought out Rainbow and Pinkie
-
240.
>Rainbow laughed and gave whoever did it props, saying she wishes she had the idea
-
241.
>You stomped your hoof and told her it was serious
-
242.
>Rainbow just chuckled and said "Yeah, yeah. But seriously, it wasn't me. I like pulling pranks, but spending all that money on gnomes for something silly? C'mon, I got better things to blow bits on."
-
243.
>You bit your tongue at that
-
244.
>Cider and Wonderbolt jerseys aren't exactly "Better things", but you said nothing
-
245.
>Next, you went to Pinkie
-
246.
>She squealed and wanted to see them, saying she'd take them of your hands
-
247.
>She'd call them Gnorman, Gribble, Wendel, Thistlewick, Bumblesnatch...
-
248.
>You had to cut her off
-
249.
>You doubted it was her due to the fact there wasn't any sort of icing or confetti involved, but you had to make sure
-
250.
>Returning to the library, you're stumped
-
251.
>The only lead remaining are the notes
-
252.
>It'll be the most time consuming, but maybe you can try cross-referencing the writing with documents from town hall?
-
253.
>But you can't very well go through EVERY single person in Ponyville
-
254.
>So tonight, you'll draw up who you think are most likely to pull such a stunt
-
255.
>Looking over, you see Fluttershy lying down on a little air mattress and sleeping bag by your bed
-
256.
>Poor thing...
-
257.
>She doesn't have the constitution for this...
-
258.
>You really don't want to take this to the Guard
-
259.
>It'll be turned into a whole thing
-
260.
>IF they take this seriously in the first place
-
261.
>Sighing, you put down your quill and head over to your bed
-
262.
>"Twilight... will the gnomes get me?"
-
263.
No, Fluttershy. They won't *yawn* get you.
-
264.
>"...Twilight, do you think gnomes are Anon's fetish?"
-
265.
>You feel a blush form on your muzzle
-
266.
F-fetish? I, er, what do you mean? Are you sure you're using that word correctly? If you're asking if he likes gnomes... maybe?
-
267.
>Fluttershy yawns
-
268.
>"Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow. Goodnight, Twilight"
-
269.
Goodnight, Fluttershy
-
270.
>...
-
271.
>Anon
-
272.
>He's complained to you more than once about Fluttershy's... advances
-
273.
>Very outlandish stories
-
274.
>Slander even
-
275.
>You look over to Fluttershy's sleeping form
-
276.
>C'mon... there's no way THIS pony is even capable of half the things he's said
-
277.
>That guy called her a rapist!
-
278.
>That jerk
-
279.
>But now you're thinking...
-
280.
>You plan on making a list of suspects tomorrow morning
-
281.
>Maybe his name will be on it too
-
282.
>With that, you go to sleep
-
283.
-
284.
>The next few days go by without much incident
-
285.
>Twilight had tried to go to Mayor Mare about the situation and request written documents to cross-examine hoofwriting with the notes, but Mayor Mare said no
-
286.
>She said the gnomes themselves weren't much cause for concern, but finding them inside Fluttershy's home was grounds of trespassing
-
287.
>But that means Fluttershy needs to take this to the Guard, and if THEY request documents to cross-reference then Mayor Mayor will comply
-
288.
>Twilight was unhappy with such news
-
289.
>Mostly because the Guard wouldn't bother doing a proper investigation into the matter in the first place
-
290.
>They'd simply log the incident and inform Fluttershy to update them if it continues
-
291.
>In the meantime, you've been biding his time
-
292.
>Who are (you)
-
293.
>Why, you're the Gnome King himself, Anonymous
-
294.
>However, during this pause this meant Fluttershy returned back to her cottage
-
295.
>Leaving the incident behind her, she goes back to her own regular routine
-
296.
>Taking care of animals, spending time with her friends... and pursuing her one, true love
-
297.
>Her next two fetish guesses involved her being a lumberjack and accidentally leaving a gash in your floor boards
-
298.
>And the other involving her being a maid where she mixed different types of cleaning agents and made mustard gas
-
299.
>You think it's time to get back to work
-
300.
>The gnomes had worked better than you'd expected
-
301.
>But if Fluttershy was already back to her old routine, maybe it was time to remind her of them...
-
302.
>Tonight, you'll up your game
-
303.

304.
>It's the middle of the night, but instead of going to Fluttershy's cottage, you head over to Twilight's treebrary
-
305.
>There, she has 26 of your beloved subjects tucked away somewhere as "evidence"
-
306.
>They are the soldiers of your marching army
-
307.
>The pointed spear held against the Yellow Devil
-
308.
>As per most Ponyville citizens, the front door is left unlocked
-
309.
>Sneaking inside, you look around
-
310.
>Nothing out in the open, she probably moved them downstairs into the basement
-
311.
>You approach the basement door but stop
-
312.
>While the front door was unlocked, this one isn't
-
313.
>But Twilight is many things, and magic-obsessed is certainly one of them
-
314.
>Instead of a standard lock, Twilight would rather use a needlessly complicated magic ward to seal the door
-
315.
>This makes things smoother for you
-
316.
>While you won't be able to turn the handle, you can still touch the door
-
317.
>No magic signature let's you interact with it without the thing sounding any sort of alarm
-
318.
>But how would you open it?
-
319.
>Simple, by removing the thing from its hinges
-
320.
>The ward prevents you from turning the handle
-
321.
>But why bother with the handle?
-
322.
>Pulling out a screwdriver, you undo the hinges and move the entire door out of the way
-
323.
>Then, you descend the staircase and see your dutiful vassals lined up
-
324.
>With a burlap sack, you start placing all of them inside, carful not to bang them around too much lest you injure your retainers
-
325.
>And with that, you ascend the staircase and flee into the night
-
326.
-
327.
>Be Twilight again
-
328.
>You wake up to the sensation of Spike tapping your shoulder
-
329.
>Groggily, you open your eyes and ask him what he wants
-
330.
>"Uh, were you renovating after I went to bed last night or something? Why'd you take the basement door of it's hinges?"
-
331.
>You're eyes shoot open as you leap out of bed
-
332.
>Racing downstairs you stop before your basement door leaning against the side of the wall
-
333.
>The magic lock still gently pulsing purple as it remains activated
-
334.
But that's...
-
335.
>Tentatively, you walk down the steps and see... nothing
-
336.
>And that's what frightens you
-
337.
>The gnomes are gone!
-
338.
>You slowed down with the investigation these last few days but...
-
339.
>You didn't think they'd escape!
-
340.
>You already know the answer, but you scan the area for any sort of magical signature
-
341.
>Nothing
-
342.
>But you do find a note
-
343.
>You... don't want to read it but you pick it up anyways
-
344.
>You read it out loud to yourself
-
345.
The Gnome King is here...
-
346.
>What
-
347.
>What the BUCK
-
348.
>Either somepony broke into your home last night and stole back their gnomes or...
-
349.
>You gulp
-
350.
>The way these things are bypassing magic...
-
351.
>Is there really something more going on here?
-
352.
>You race up the stairs back into the library and float several dozen books on mythology, rare magic creatures, legends, and unexplained phenomena
-
353.
Spike! Send a letter! Request every book on magical creatures the royal archive can spare! ...And ask Celestia if there's a gnome kingdom I don't know about!
-
354.
>Grabbing your quill and several notebooks, you get to work
-
355.
-
356.
>The next few days are terrible for Fluttershy
-
357.
>Twilight, seemingly convinced that a Gnome King might very well be terrorising Ponyville, throws herself at her research
-
358.
>This means Fluttershy's emotional support has been taken away
-
359.
>This also means that you needn't worry about Twilight's investigation finding out you're the culprit
-
360.
>As such, you resumed your pranks
-
361.
>A gnome left in her Chicken coop
-
362.
>Another on her roof
-
363.
>And the worst one being one in her bathtub
-
364.
>Fluttershy isn't sleeping anymore
-
365.
>Or leaving the house for that matter
-
366.
>Her days are now spent on the lookout for more uninvited guests
-
367.
>She's also been leaving out many different "Tributes" to try and appease the gnomes
-
368.
>From some bits, more baked goods, a quilt, and so on
-
369.
>You realised you were kinda stealing from her and felt bad about it
-
370.
>Until the tributes turned into her offering up your stolen underwear and toothbrush
-
371.
>Damn, she's giving up her prized possessions here
-
372.
>Soon, you realise you don't need to leave many more around at this point
-
373.
>The dread between discoveries is enough to terrify Fluttershy
-
374.
>At this rate, all you needs to do is leave one once every few weeks
-
375.
>To remind her, that is
-
376.
>With a pep in your step, you walk down the streets of Ponyville whistling a tune
-
377.
>This town ain't have bad, you think
-
378.
-
379.
>Be Twilight once more
-
380.
>Two weeks later and you emerge from your library
-
381.
>Sunlight pierces your vision as your eyes adjust to the outside world
-
382.
>your coat is greasy and your mane is messy
-
383.
>But you have an insane grin on your face
-
384.
>You discovered the truth
-
385.
>What started out as a dive into possible gnome myths, soon became a rabbit hole of archaic legends and sightings
-
386.
>You'd even been exchanging untranslated texts and deciphering them yourself
-
387.
>And what you discovered is nothing short of revolutionary
-
388.
>The Gnome King. A very niche figure from the pre-unification era, a possible deity known by Diamond Dogs as Gravemaw
-
389.
>According to ancient Diamond Dog tradition, Gnomes are diminutive earth spirits said to dwell deep beneath the soil and mountains
-
390.
>Miners believed they guarded precious stones, metals, and hidden underground passages, and that disturbing their domains could bring misfortune
-
391.
>Some traditions spoke of a Gnome King, an ancient ruler who commanded these spirits and demanded offerings from those who trespassed upon his territory
-
392.
>Diamond Dogs traditionally left small offerings of food, coins, or valuable minerals when mining in areas believed to be inhabited by gnomes
-
393.
>Failure to pay tribute was said to invite the Gnome King's retribution
-
394.
>It's obvious what's going on here...
-
395.
>The Gnome King wants Fluttershy
-
396.
>He doesn't want bits or baked goods
-
397.
>He wants Fluttershy's innocence
-
398.
>SHE is the tribute
-
399.
>Now, it's time to pay Fluttershy a visit...
-
400.
-
401.
>Be Fluttershy
-
402.
>And you're not doing so well
-
403.
>These last few days, you've been jumping at your own shadow
-
404.
>Everytime you're about to fall asleep, you find yourself jolting awake at the sound of every small noise
-
405.
>You also keep checking your cupboards for any unwanted guests
-
406.
>You have heavy circles around your eyes and a shake from being over-caffeinated
-
407.
>When you hear an erratic knocking on your door, you jump up and yelp
-
408.
>"Fluttershy! It's me, Twilight! Open the door! I need to talk to you"
-
409.
>You open the door and see that Twilight is looking just as bad as you
-
410.
>She walks past you inside, rambling quite quickly giving you little time to process
-
411.
>"-Dozens of examples from countless different versions of the same story! A pure, virgin to be offered up at the alter upon the time of-"
-
412.
Um, Twilight? What's going on?
-
413.
>"Fluttershy!" She turns around quickly and reels on you
-
414.
>"Fluttershy, I've solved it! I was wrong to dismiss everything as a prank! The more I looked into it, the more I realised the truth! It's Gravemaw! The Gnome King! He wants YOU Fluttershy! YOU are to be his tribute!"
-
415.
What!? But... but I don't want to become his! I'm saving myself for Anon!
-
416.
>"But Fluttershy! Think about what this might mean for Equestria! Contact with an entirely new magical race. No, not 'magical', SPIRITUAL! Don't you see? The Gnomes are Earth Spirits that defy all known Thaumatological laws! If we could establish a working relationship, we'd be able to study them and make leaps within magic studies! Fluttershy! Offer yourself up! It's the only way!"
-
417.
B-But I can't! I don't want to-to become the consort of some THING!
-
418.
>"I..." Twilight pauses for a moment when she sees Fluttershy tearing up
-
419.
>"But Fluttershy, if you don't do this... retribution will fall upon not just you, but all of Ponyville. Your sacrifice means not just the furthering of magic, but the preservation of Ponyville. If the texts I translated are true, then..."
-
420.
Then what!? What then, Twilight?
-
421.
>"Then we'll ALL face retribution"
-
422.
>A pause
-
423.
E-Even Anon?
-
424.
>"Especially him. For the Gnome King will see him as the main obstacle between him and you."
-
425.
>You don't know what to say
-
426.
>You choke back a sob as you feel the weight of the decision press down on your heart
-
427.
>Do you give yourself up, to save Ponyville and the man you love?
-
428.
>Or do you let doom come down upon those you care about?
-
429.
...
-
430.
Twilight
-
431.
>"Yes?"
-
432.
The Gnome King... would he go away if he no longer wants me?
-
433.
>"I, er, yeah? If he changes his mind, I guess? But why would he?"
-
434.
If I'm no longer a pure tribute, he'd lose interest...
-
435.
>"Well, yeah I-" The gears in Twilight's head turn
-
436.
Twilight... if I'm no longer an untouched maiden, he'd no longer want me. There's only one person in this whole world I'm saving myself for. But he's been unwilling so far... Twilight. Help me rape Anon.
-
437.
>A silence follows
-
438.
>But then a look of resolve falls over Twilight
-
439.
>"Yes. For you, one of my dearest friends... I'll help you. I'll keep you safe from Gravemaw and unite you and Anon. Let's go rape him. Together"
-
440.
>You both smile and hug one another
-
441.
>With the two of you in tow, you head out the door to Anon's house
-
442.
-
443.
>Be Anon one final time
-
444.
>You wake up, ready for another day of work
-
445.
>Being known as the town's handyman wasn't something you expected to enjoy so much
-
446.
>Lately, you've been getting a lot of work from everyone around town
-
447.
>From simply labour jobs to small repairs
-
448.
>And you've been learning a bunch too!
-
449.
>Before, you'd have no idea how to repair a hole in a wall or fix the axle on a cart
-
450.
>But now you're slowly becoming somebody reliable
-
451.
>Is this... what feeling useful feels like?
-
452.
>You wonder why you weren't happy before
-
453.
>Just what was it that was ruining your mood and causing problems for you?
-
454.
>It's like a heavy burden has been lifted from your shoulders and-
-
455.
>Your front door explodes inwards with a magic blast
-
456.
>Two mares with crazed looks in their eyes find you
-
457.
>Twilight yells "Anon! You have to have sex with Fluttershy! Her life depends on it! Gravemaw will take her unless you do!"
-
458.
I-What!? My fucking door! Get the fuck out of my-
-
459.
>"I told you he wouldn't listen, Twilight!"
-
460.
>"Then we'll have to do it the hard way!"
-
461.
>Twilight starts levitating some rope and hurls it at you
-
462.
>You dodge to the right and scramble back up to your feet
-
463.
TWILIGHT! FUCKING STOP! LEAVE ME-
-
464.
>Twilight continues levitating the rope
-
465.
>Like a serpent, it readies itself and is aimed at you
-
466.
>You run to the nearest blockage to defend against it strikes
-
467.
>That, being the closet door
-
468.
>You rush it and swing it open
-
469.
>But before you can close it behind you, the rope wraps around your waist, knocking you over
-
470.
>Twilight speaks
-
471.
>"I'm sorry it has to be this way, Anon. But The Gnome King has demanded that Fluttershy pay tribute with her body. The only way to protect her is for her to lose her innocence. If she doesn't, she'll be whisked away. And if she doesn't offer herself up, it'll be (you) who pays the price. Just accept it..."
-
472.
>You try to stand but the rope has bound you too tightly
-
473.
>Like a caterpillar, you crawl deeper into the closet
-
474.
There is no- are you fucking dense!? There is no Gnome King, Twilight! I-I...
-
475.
>Fluttershy interrupts
-
476.
>"It's going to be okay, Anon. Just close your eyes and..."
-
477.
>But she doesn't finish that sentence
-
478.
>She looks inside the closet and sees all the gnomes you have
-
479.
>Both the ones you retrieved from Twilight's library and the others you hadn't yet used
-
480.
>Twilight and Fluttershy stop their advance as the pieces come together
-
481.
>Well, Twilight realises the proper truth while Fluttershy comes it a different conclusion
-
482.
>"Oh, Anon... You're the Gnome King! Oh... oh, I see now! Gnomes, Anon! Gnomes are your fetish! You said no when I asked earlier, but you were lying! You kept leaving them at my cottage, asking for tribute. You meant me! That was your way of saying you wanted me! I... I can wear a little red hat if you'd like! Or a white beard too! I'm okay with that, I still love you! Oh, sweetie~
-
483.
>Fluttershy hugs your bound body and starts planting kisses along your neck
-
484.
>Twilight though, is understanding what REALLY happened here
-
485.
>"You... you imbecile! You no good, uncouth, rotten, fiend! This-you-I... I don't have the right words! This was all some lousy prank! Hah! Jokes on me, I guess! Here I was, wondering how in Equestria these gnomes kept appearing without a magic signature! Moreso, how my basement door was tampered with! But it was the work of some magical REJECT who isn't important enough to appear on any scans! Anon! You broke into my home! You broke into Fluttershy's home! You left us both traumatised for weeks!
-
486.
>There's a heavy pause
-
487.
>Well, there's the sound of light, rapid kisses on your neck being made by Fluttershy but you're doing your best to ignore that
-
488.
...Yeah. I did.
-
489.
>There's not much more you can say here
-
490.
>Actually, yes there is
-
491.
Okay, but you and Fluttershy TRIED TO RAPE ME. G-Get her off of meeee!
-
492.
>You thrash around but fail to shake her loose
-
493.
>"Oh no, Anon. You're not getting off that easy. Unless you want us going to the Guard, I think a punishment is in order."
-
494.
>You gulp
-
495.
W-what did you have in mind?
-
496.
>Twilight, with an evil glean in her eye, tells you to follow her...
-
497.
-
498.
>It's quite a nice day outside
-
499.
>A clear blue sky, a gentle breeze, and just the right temperature
-
500.
>Ponies must've noticed this because the park is bustling today
-
501.
>Parents took their foals, lovers went on walks, and even workers took an early Lunch break just to enjoy the day
-
502.
>But little did any of them know, a certain human is putting on quite the show
-
503.
>By the park's center, there stands a figure dressed in what could only be described as outlandish attire
-
504.
>A pointed red hat sits atop your head
-
505.
>A massive fake white beard hangs from your chin
-
506.
>And a long green robe, tied at the waist rests upon your torso
-
507.
>Moreover, you are surrounded by a little army of gnomes
-
508.
>A sign reads, "Take one, courtesy of the Gnome King"
-
509.
>And last but not least, a placard hangs around your neck that reads "I am a bad gnome"
-
510.
>People come and go
-
511.
>Some take a gnome while others just point and laugh
-
512.
>Pinkie took a picture
-
513.
>Rainbow just laughed in your face for five minutes straight
-
514.
>Lyra grabbed like three gnomes
-
515.
>And others just shook their heads
-
516.
>By sundown, you're punishment neared its end and all but one gnome was claimed
-
517.
>A tiny thing, the least remarkable of the bunch
-
518.
>Picking it up and taking the placard off your neck, you head home
-
519.
>When you arrive, you see Twilight and Fluttershy
-
520.
>Twilight wears the expression of someone satisfied to see you learn your lesson
-
521.
>Fluttershy droops her head a bit low, feeling a bit sad for you
-
522.
>"Well, Anon. I hope you learned your lesson. It's not nice to leave things inside peoples homes or impersonate ancient deities."
-
523.
>You wanted to say you had no idea a 'Gnome King' was even a thing, but you kept quiet about that
-
524.
>Twilight let's out a satisfied 'Hmf', before leaving with her head held up high
-
525.
>You look over to Fluttershy who still remains
-
526.
>"I, uh, ...don't really get what the whole point of all this was. If... if you were wanting me to offer myself as tribute up or... call you a bad gnome or something, all you had to do was ask..."
-
527.
>You let out a heavy sigh
-
528.
No, Fluttershy... gnomes are not my fetish
-
529.
>"Oh. Okay. ...Kinda weird that you put so much work into something that wasn't your fetish, but okay. See you tomorrow, Anon. Goodnight~."
-
530.
>With that, she leaves
-
531.
>You watch her go and stare down at the little gnome in your hand
-
532.
>Did you screw up because you underestimated Twilight's autism or because you were careless?
-
533.
>Either way, you know for certain that this was somehow all Fluttershy's fault
-
534.
>Fucking Fluttershy
