No good, Ember held it tightly in her right claw. >"You just earned extra for fidgeting." Ember chided, smacking Spike's flame-broiled tush with the flat part of her tail. Spike felt like such a baby! He didn't even want to be here... as Ember yanked up on his tail and pushed down on Spike's frantically moving legs, making his rear more accesible for some extra-stinging sitspot swats, he realized with a blush that Ember was in complete control. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He cried his head off, his demeanor matching the typical context of corporal correction. This was how kid dragons were disciplined by their strict mothers. Twilight made Spike study some dragon culture. A dragon mom hoists up your tail, and before you know it, fire on your backside and stinging slaps likewise signal to you and the other juvenile dragons that just like ponies, naughty dragons get physical reminders to behave, right on your naughty bottom. @@@ https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/30115544/#q30156330 >you are a colt >you have a writing assignment >it was due a week ago >Cheerilee has lost her patience for your excuses and sends a note home, demanding a prompt return >this kind of laziness for schoolwork is usually rewarded with a paddling at home or school >momhorse comes up with a motivator >she promises two swats after you finish each page >"to keep some heat in your stubborn seat and give you something to think about while you write" >thanks mom >but she also promises five swats after every half-hour that goes by without a new page done >as you write, you fidget in your chair >every word you write brings your rump closer to that paddle >and every second you dawdle brings the paddle closer to your rear >not an easy choice for a colt to make @@@ https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/29945654/#q29966263 A cool scenario with Rainbow Dash would be that her parents catch wind of what she did to the weather factory in Tanks for the Memories, and decide to reintroduce Rainbow's bottom to a long, hard spanking when she visits them next. >RD gets a package in the mail >It's from her old home address >what could it be? >signs for it, opens it before the mail pony even leaves >"A manebrush?

If a similar infraction had been done in or near the kingdom (queendom?), Skystar would indeed just be "so grounded". The problem is a diplomatic one. Many leaders and representatives at the Friendship Celebration have a working relationship with Novo. If she's seen going easy on her daughter, it could hurt future negotiations. So Novo grabs her daughter by the ear and takes her only a little bit out of the mob of people. She gives her an awful whuppin'. But there's the matter of the states enroute between Equestria and Mount Aris / Seaquestria. In peacetime, they had friendly relations with the hippogriffs. Although the seaponies are in hiding, they still managed to send out scouting parties offering sizable rewards for the recovery of Skystar. Again, this sends a bad message for diplomacy that Novo can't keep track of her own daughter. The hippogriffs head back to her home. Novo doesn't make a big deal about her daughter, but she is there when Novo meets with leaders of the other areas. They thank the leaders for keeping an eye out, and Skystar apologizes for making them worry. Not only is her butt red from the initial spanking, Novo re-spanks her to achieve a high level of redness before they enter any town. This is hard power in the world of MLP. @@@ https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/31051592/#q31246236 Does rainbow deserve some soap in her mouth after the episode today?

They paint red lines on a misbehaving colt or filly's behind. Within 3 minutes, pain shoots through their body like each stripe is a lick of the cane. Because it takes time to apply, each stripe activates in a staggered fashion, just like a traditional spanking. It is ancient zebra magic, and they refuse to give it up even to their allies in Equestria. They use this sometimes for speed, convenience, quietness, or ceremonial purposes. Though the pain is the same, the striping process is a formal application of punishment often preferred for medium to high naughtiness. Everyzebra in the village watches stripings in the center of all the huts. Regular spankings are on-the-spot and as unremarkable as they are in Equestria. Seeing a zebra parent get out a bottle of stripe salve is like seeing a pony parent take a manebrush out of their saddlebags. ... Zecora pulls reverse psychology. >You three must rethink your goals >It should not be used by little foals! >That substance makes little ones jump >Do not use it on your rump! Zecora chuckles a half hour later when they give it back. Bottle almost full, but they're walking funny. Each pony has a crudely painted cutie mark on each flank. Apple Bloom with an apple flower, Scootaloo with a lightning bolt, and Sweetie Belle with a house. The terrible trio painted more designs on their backsides. They all abruptly stopped like they ran out of ink partway. Apparently the effects kicked in before they finished. Apple Bloom had the worst luck. Each crusader painted a friend's rump, since they couldn't reach their own. Scootaloo, with the least artistic practice of the three, merely shaded a lot of Apple Bloom's rear-end in basic repeating designs. Her rump's coverage rivaled her Granny's dexterity with an apple switch. Smugly, Zecora chided them: >The words I say always have use >Ignore them for a red caboose! @@@ https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/36651854/#q36845324 Sequel idea for DC's Sugar Cube Horror. The adults in that story find the conversation useful. Some of the mares and stallions talk to each other after the fact and decide to start a club for discussing pony rumps and the adequate disciplining thereof. The Cakes graciously agree to provide the venue. Not only do they agree with the content (as Pinkie knows all too well), it's good PR for the shop. It was just a matter of picking a time during the week that's normally slow. Bam, new business and now the whole town knows you care about making each little pony grow up into an upstanding citizen. Many parents are busy as it is; they can't afford sitters and don't have older children to watch the youngins. These unfortunate foals are dragged to the Happy Ponies Society against their will. The name alone gave them the creeps. Apparently, parents think that spanking the daylights out of their foals' bottoms is good for them. The children never got an answer as to WHO was happy, the parents or the foals they spank. Luckily, they don't have to stay for the meeting, but different guardians have different rules. Some are allowed to play outside the shop while others can't leave the building. They are in earshot of each adult discussing the finer points of how to get a bratty teen who's too big for their britches down to bawling foal status. Each week the indoor colts and fillies hear their parents become more competent spankers. It's mortifying, and each non-adult wants it to end as quickly as possible. Naturally, they are on their best behavior. They know the consequences of naughtiness. But foal brains are still growing, and a mistake was bound to happen eventually. That poor colt who crashed into the glass pastry display soon found his parents dragging him by the ear to the front of the meeting for a demonstration on effective spanking technique. It was his first time being spanked on his sitspots (a topic of the meeting) but unfortunately his parents found it so effective that it became a regular part of his punishment. He was put in the corner for the rest of the meeting, a lesson on corner time and a vibrant heinie warning to the other foals. After a few weeks of steady attendance, the Cakes honor the attendees with a batch of free spanked buns. Composed of two sweet buns side-by-side with a red glaze on top, they are always served warm. Pinkie hated preparing these, but knew the alternative. They were such a hit they became a menu item. One week, they make too many and offer extras to the foals. Blushing, they accept. Of course, they taste delicious, putting the foals in the unenviable position of asking their parents every week for "spanked buns". It leads to a lot of giggling and teasing at the start of every meeting. >Mom, can I have spanked buns? >But I already gave you some two days ago! You don't want more so soon I hope? ... The Cakes recognize yet another business opportunity. Any foal who has been spanked that day gets a free spanked bun with parent or guardian permission. They don't want to reward misbehavior, but if the parent decides to put the sordid affair behind them, the Cakes will oblige. To avoid misuse, the spanked pony does have to quickly turn around and show off their red flank. After a comment from whoever's working the register (such as "wow, you got it good!") they are hoofed a spanked bun, free of charge. Most of the time, a parent will buy something for themselves, after a stressful day usually culminating in spanking the pony standing before them. Thus, the promotion makes money and becomes permanent. Word of the promo spreads like pain across a colt's rear-end. Foals tell their friends, parents tell theirs... Eventually even tourists know about the Cake promotion. >Dad, I know I was really bad at Princess Twilight's castle and I'm really sorry... >But can I get a spanked bun at Sugarcube Corner? It's free! @@@ Pan and Anon https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/38571879/#q38611245 See, I would call on the baby gang to rise up, but by the time they all got here it would be nap time.

The rumps would be heavenly. A dense, complex machine of pure muscle. Their tushies contain plenty of shock absorbers for your whacks, so even if they whinny and cry you know their butts can take it. Just a red heiny, not the end of the world, my little pony. After it's all over, they heave and cry over your lap. They reach hooves back to tentatively massage their rosy red rear ends if they are allowed to. If not, they beg you to apply some aftercare to their backsides, which you are under no obligation to provide. Eventually their tears slow down and you shimmy them off your knees. Maybe you order them to the corner. Maybe you cuddle them on their bed. As you watch them walk off, they are plaintive and cautious, each step reigniting the flames of a well-earned spanking. For the rest of the day, you get to watch the telltale cherry-red signs of a spanking radiate from their naughty behinds. You will see it in the way they walk (slowly and with a bit of a waddle) and sit down (wincing when flank touches chair). You will hear it in the way they say please and thank you, making sure not to cross you again. As they get ready for bed, you will go to their bedrooms to wish them a good night. Even if you didn't massage their rump before you will surely consent now, the punishment long over but not yet forgotten. Maybe you have special skin cream just right for this purpose, or maybe your human hands are enough to feel like heaven on a whupped rump.

"Tomorrow's late fine is 3 strokes." Extra: Yesterday's fine plus 3 strokes. After the 4th day of spanking (6, 3, 6, 9, each day over the existing welts on the poor pony's rear), if the book still isn't back on day 5 it's considered lost. The pony can also report the book lost and get it over with. But that is a last resort. You see, ponies cannot be banned from the library. It's too academically important. They carry many scholarly works not available even at Canterlot Public Library. A bit deposit or fine would not be fair to the poor ponies who are attending the elite school on scholarship. Like it or not, everycreature at school needs to borrow books. When a creature has lost a book, they first have to "pay down" the lost book fine. The fine is 15 strokes of the cane, minus any already received. The remaining strokes are applied all at once, not with a day in between like the overdue return system. On the fourth day of spanking (after 15 strokes had already been delivered), the pony must admit that they lost the book by the end of first period. Otherwise they will receive all 9 new strokes on a very well-torn backside for a total of 24 blazing red lines decorating their bottom. Many try to claim asylum by saying the book is lost and they already served their 15 strokes. The nice librarian politely informs them that she has strict deadlines, and the time for letting her know was hours ago. The disorganized creature who lost the book then must sit on one of the antique wooden chairs in the library and write an apology note. The chairs are a hundred years old and the cushions have hardened and flattened into rock. The nice librarian proofreads the note. It must have impeccable penponyship, in cursive, and be free of all spelling and grammatical errors. If the note fails, the librarian tears it up, informs the miscreant of the mistakes, and makes them write a new one. This is because the note is part of the library's collection. The note will be placed on the shelf in a hollow book-like shell in place of the original book. The embarrassing note will be there to read for as long as the book is not replaced. Popular books are mercifully replaced in due time. (The librarian does keep all notes on the shelf for at least a month, as humiliation and a deterrent for other points.) Rare and out of print books may be replaced by request, if funding allows and the librarian can even find another copy. If the book was expensive, the student also has after school detention for a few days. They help around the library, learning how it works and all the work that must be done when a book is lost. Detention or not, the absentminded student then has to trade in their yellow library card. The normal card bears their signature, and the signature shows agreement with "consequences" for late books. They felt the consequences all right. Their butt is still sore from 15 or more consequences. The new card is red, and bears the title "Provisional Library Card". A pony's signature indicates that "Books may be loaned to the bearer of this card, subject to a daily deposit and librarian approval. Consequences will be applied for overdue or lost books." The library uses a deposit system for ponies on a provisional card. The librarian usually remembers the ponies that have lost her books, but if she doesn't, or another faculty member is filling in for her, the red card clues them in. Remember how I said she canes borrowers at the checkout desk? By presenting the library card and signing the book card at the front of the book, the pony has signed their own death warrant. They bend over the desk and pay their "deposit": one stroke per book. It's a reminder of what's to come if they don't return the books. By applying the deposit per book, it reduces the number of books checked out by irresponsible students to those strictly necessary. The borrowers are spanked right there, with anypony in line grinning as they watch the transaction happening a few feet away. Then the librarian asks: "do you understand you will receive 25 strokes of the cane directly on your glutes if these books are not returned? And 5 strokes for any day the books are not returned for a deposit without a valid excuse?" She asks this EVERY TIME, and it causes cheek-reddening EVERY TIME. "I need a 'yes.'" That's right. She makes the little pony with fresh zebra stripes AGREE to their future spanking, in front of anypony else in line. Once they do: "Good. You are to bring back all books tomorrow for another deposit." It's only one stroke, thankfully, but a borrower still gets daily maintenance spankings for as long as a book is checked out. The daily deposit helps the pony and librarian keep track of where the borrowed book is at all times. Ponies with provisional cards return books twice as fast as other ponies, and have never lost another book. The provisional card is forgiven after one semester. Repeat offenders are given provisional cards for life. They are rare, but there are some senior ponies just about to head off to college or the Royal Guard who still have to bend over the checkout desk and move their tail for their deposit from the librarian 2/3 their size. And yes, she does keep all the apology notes even after removing them from circulation. Many great ponies have been given the cards, owing to their voracious appetite for learning. She likes reading through apologies from future generals, provincial heads, even the Princess of Friendship. Someday she may turn them into a special collection anycreature can read... but not check out. … That's a lot of potential spankings for a late book. Imagine if in Point of No Return Twilight had to endure this punishment for not returning a book in years, possibly decades. She would be a sore princess. A well-thought out system either way. I particularly love having to write notes. … Imagine the agony of finals time where a provisional student truly needs 6 books to write a report. The librarian could aim for the sitspots for the deposits, to remind the borrower as often as possible to keep track of the books. The late or missing book fee could be assessed for each book. It could collect interest well beyond 4 days if you choose. So much potential. @@@ https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/40367462/#40534770 Twilight dragging Spike to commision what may as well be a paddle for his backside >He can pick the design >Do you want oval shaped red marks on your bum?

Data nerds (virgins) at Canterlot High collect information what girls are wearing each day at school. Effects such as weather and day of the week play the most important role but the analysis indicated an unexpected spike in long, loose skirts, soft sweatpants and baggy shorts directly after report card day. Further, this spike was matched by an increase in girls wearing newly purchased outfits during the same time period. This data did not reflect a trend toward the loose clothing adopted by others. The two spikes show up in the data consistently at end of semester when report cards are sent home, but the soft clothing aberration sometimes appears alone, without the accompanying spike in girls with new outfits. These data points seem to be random, the last one occurring when several female students attempted to fake a snow day. Data nerds are perplexed as to an explanation for these phenomenon, which is probably one of the reasons they are still virgins. @@@ https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/40624270/#40811688 Colt is dragged into Crimson's Brushes. >"NO!

The two sisters continued apace, with Rarity not far behind her sister, and her sister's behind not far from lava. "If you want to practice makeup or play pretend, just ask me next time." (crack!) "Okay, stop moving. Let's get you cleaned up." Rarity produced a hooferchief and dabbed at her unhappy sister's drippy muzzle. She massaged Sweetie's rump, joining Sweetie's own hoof in assuaging the damage. "Do you want to try again after camp? Maybe your cutie mark will be in cosmetology." "What does makeup have to do with space?" (giggle) "It means beauty, Sweetie Belle. Just like you are beautiful. One more spot and... voilà! All done! Nopony will know you were crying." >Sweetie's cheeks blushed pink to match her others "I'm sorry I was such a nimrod. Won't ponies know I got spanked from my rump?" "Well, yes they will. Not much fun having a 'new look' forced upon you, is it?" "No Rarity..." >Rarity put a hoof on the spanked youngster's withers "Just have fun. You are not the first pony with a 'rouge derrière'." >They walked to the pavilion together and Rarity sent her on her way. As she stood with her friends, she overheard Rarity's concern with the counselors: "...had to spank her. Go easy on her ... sit down ... too much exercise with her rump muscles." >Sweetie blushed >So much for keeping it low-key @@@ A Brush with a Stranger - a Hearthswarming Festival Side Story https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/41355692/#41374437 Our night on the town as a family was great. Holly and I asked to wear winter coats and our request was thankfully granted. Canterlot gets chilly in the winter, but mostly we wanted to cover up our rumps. The scorcher and the sizzler we had received, minus the two days of healing, left some pink discoloration on our behinds, and a twinge of pain if you sat the wrong way. We loved seeing the city lit up and drinking hot cocoa. Holly's Dad wanted to treat us kids; he always made our vacations special. We even forgot we had been spanked the past two days. Then we attended an indoor choir concert. Apparently it had to be inside for the acoustics. This was some fancy concert hall and most of the year it was only attended by those much higher class than us. For these free shows, ponies of all backgrounds crammed in to hear the world-famous Canterlot Chorus. To our relief, it was standing room only. Less luck to Holly and I, there was a mandatory coat check. We asked if we could wait outside but got swiftly turned down. Holly's Mom offered an olive branch: "Make a good impression tonight, and you might be allowed to go out tomorrow." Between that and knowing the alternative of our last two nights, we gave up our winter coats and shuffled into the main hall. We got there a half hour early and still ended up with unremarkable "seating." Ponies really care about their classical concerts and Holly's Mom was one of them. Holly and I lightly blushed on giving up our last layer of defense from childish mockery, but nocreature said anything... until the end of the show. Everycreature entered the hall in a staggered fashion, but at the end, everypony just wanted to leave. There was a throng of creatures waiting to exit. In that wait, we couldn't even exit our row. Some mare we'd never met spoke up from behind us and started shaking our hooves. "That was some show!" Holly's Mom went on about cadenzas and soloists and the fifth row baritones... all lost on the rest of us. We had zoned out until the stranger said "you kids were very well behaved. Your parents should be proud." Our ears literally perked up when she said "you kids." The comment was a little embarrassing, but almost a relief after that 2 hour concert. One hour was fun, two hours was a long time to listen to mares sing in Prench. Holly's Mom, ever oblivious to the delicate emotions of teen-agers, took the conversation to where I never thought it would go. "They had better be. After two spankings apiece they're trying to earn back their 8pm curfew." "Mooooom!" "Hush, Holly." Holly's Mom wasn't angry but it was the kind of authoritative command that would be angry if repeated. Holly and I had seen it enough times to know. The mare just chuckled and said: "Oh, teenagers. You breathe and they get embarrassed. It's okay kids, I'm a parent myself. Wasn't too long ago I was making my teens hit 'soprano' notes as I made their backsides look the way yours do now." Holly and I just looked at each other, tails quickly covering what we could and mouths agape. "Oh, kids. I saw them for two hours, no sense hiding them now. Were you the one who did the punishment," she asked, looking to Holly's Dad. "No, that honor goes to my wife. I was at the railyard. Whacking switches, not foals." Holly's Dad couldn't resist the joke at our expense. It was good-natured, at least. "I've got time. What did they do?" We looked at Holly's Mom with puppy-dog eyes, but it was no use. She went over every excruciating detail, even the "get moving" swat we had been welcomed home with. "Well you did a good job, miss. Exactly what I would have done. And they were still tonight, no talking during the quiet parts, and hardly any backtalk even when they want to crawl in a hole and die. I think they've earned their curfew." That was good news, hearing another adult praise our behavior. "That may be so. I will discuss it with them tonight." "Let's hope that's the kind of 'discussion' where nopony's over anypony's knees." She gave us a wink. "Welp, line's moving. Here, I'll go first, only fair you get to see my rump. Happy Hearth's Warming!" We practically ran to the coat check once it was our turn. Embarrassment aside, it was a fun Festival. Holly's parents did have a discussion with us that night, and nopony was on anypony's lap. We were officially granted our freedom until 8 o'clock every night. We were home at least 10 minutes early, every day.
