  1. >Day Hold up thy Sword. In Equestira.
  2. >Fluttershy is reading a book she borrowed from Zecora.
  3. >She laughed it off originally.
  4. >It was kind of stupid.
  5. >Zecora isn't one to judge.
  6. >But even she thought Fluttershy was being silly.
  7. >She sets the book aside and closes her eyes.
  8. >"..o-kay...uhm..."
  9. >She opens on eye and looks back at the book.
  10. >"You...We're g-going to f-force you now."
  11. >"We're in my cottage...and uhm...you look however I want."
  12. >She closes her eyes tight.
  13. >"You're tall...and handsome..and you smell like the ocean-"
  14. >She smiles pleasantly.
  15. >"You smell like the o-ocean mist over a valley...uhm--"
  16. >She stops forcing her eyes closed.
  17. >"You're c-c-cold...no wait. Wait!"
  18. >She opens one eye and drags the book closer to her.
  19. >"...you're physically cold r-right now. N-not emotionally or anything, mister."
  20. >She closes her eyes.
  21. >"And you're a mister. And you're loyal...and s-strong. And you l-love me."
  22. >And she scrunches up her face.
  23. >She begins to get into it.
  24. >She indulges in a scent that is not there, triggered by memory.
  25. >And she feels coldness near her.
  26. >She opens her eyes.
  27. >But you're not there.
  28. >She looks back at the book and flips a page.
  29. >"Oooh. Okay...uhm-"
  30. >She'd been doing this for over a week.
  31. >And she hadn't even turned the page.
  32. >"Y-you need a name."
  33. >She closes her eyes.
  34. >"And you have to look like a-anypony I want, or anything I w-want."
  35. >"You c-can be A-anonymous."
  36. >She begins to get a headache.
  37. >And she holds herself for a bit.
  38.  
  39. >You feel cold.
  40. >Wet.
  41. >Cold and wet.
  42. >And empty.
  43. >You see -her- sitting on the floor of this place.
  44. >Much the same as you are.
  45. >Your flesh is black as ash and riddled with holes.
  46. >You reach forward with a hand but take a moment to examine it.
  47. >Your arm is an eviscerated thing.
  48. >The fingers long and spindly.
  49. >You feel something on your face.
  50. >An expression.
  51. >You rub your hand over your face.
  52. >Sensory explosions run through you.
  53. >You're not just cold and wet.
  54. >You're alive.
  55. >You're thirsting.
  56. >You're empty.
  57. >You try to open your mouth but there is no opening.
  58. >You reach out and touch the leg of this strange yellow creature.
  59. >She opens her eyes.
  60. >She stares at you.
  61. >She...squeals with jubilation.
  62. >"Ohmygoshohmygosh, it worked!"
  63. >She lowers her voice, though it was hardly a whisper from the start.
  64. >"I made you, mister."
  65. >Then her smile starts to fade.
  66. >"...maybe I did it wrong, you look s-scary."
  67. >She puts a hoof over her mouth.
  68. >You reach towards it.
  69. >"..t-too much like a ch-changeling..."
  70. >She closes her eyes. Reliving some trauma.
  71. >"..b-but they ch-change however they want...ju-just like Discord but-"
  72. >You feel your dermis rip and musculature shift.
  73. >Your jaw muscles spasm and a mouth forms with a single jagged fang.
  74. >Your eyes are somewhat off-kilter.
  75. >But you're still burnt black.
  76. "What am I?"
  77. >She opens her eyes and pales.
  78. >"..my tulpa."
  79.  
  80. >Her name is Fluttershy.
  81. >She goes into detail about this book she borrowed.
  82. >The methods within which allowed for your creation.
  83. >How she's not crazy, this is something normal mares do all the time.
  84. >Something in her doubts this. You doubt this.
  85. >She tells grim tales of woe and misery.
  86. >Of these so called Anonymous who have spurned her advances in the past.
  87. >Who have left her destitute and alone.
  88. >And all she wished was to love them.
  89. >"...b-but n-now I have you. A-are you going to love me?"
  90. >There's something pulling at your innards, drawing you towards her.
  91. >She flinches again.
  92. >"...c-can you m-make yourself less sc-scary?"
  93. >You try to get a gauge of what this one constitutes fear to be.
  94. >It is quite a list.
  95. >You are unsure of your capabilities.
  96. >She is the one who makes and changes.
  97. >You bow your head and try to come to form.
  98. "I am as I can be."
  99. >She smiles at you.
  100. >And then she approaches you cautiously.
  101. >"...now the book said I c-could do anything with you."
  102. "It is possible."
  103. >She spreads her legs.
  104. >She presents her loins.
  105. >You gaze skeptically through glowing pale orbs.
  106. >"..d-do me bad boy."
  107. >You reach out a hand.
  108. >A mass of darkness. Matted hair.
  109. >Shadows.
  110. >And it seeps through her.
  111. >She frowns.
  112. >"I said t-touch it!"
  113. >You can feel a lash at your back.
  114. >Your spine, a knotted and blistered thing.
  115. >You try again.
  116. >Nothing.
  117. >She frowns at you.
  118. >"Maybe I did it wrong."
  119. >She scoots away from you and begins looking through her tome.
  120. >You gaze upon your claws and the emptiness comes back to you.
  121. >But the pain lingers.
  122.  
  123. >"..So, it says you're made of my thoughts."
  124. >She looks at you and smiles awkward and nervous.
  125. >"And I used my s-strongest emotions to f-fill you up...so I don't see why you can't love me, mister."
  126. >You try to think.
  127. >You try to focus.
  128. >"..I should just start over...I'm sorry."
  129. >She closes her eyes.
  130. >And the lash.
  131. >That black lash of torment is at your throat.
  132. >You burn.
  133. >You writhe in silent pain.
  134. >You just wished to be loyal.
  135. >To be strong.
  136. >You are the sum of her parts.
  137. >You can be nothing she is not.
  138. >You are a fool, born of weakness.
  139. >Made only to suffer and weep as you die bitter and alone.
  140. >And she must feel this exact way.
  141. >You struggle with movement towards her.
  142. >If you concentrate hard enough.
  143. >The lash tears at your throat.
  144. >It rends across flesh.
  145. >Milky, pale, mortal flesh.
  146. >You feel arrows in your back now.
  147. >Impaled through.
  148. >The black blood of thought-stuff leaks from your wounds.
  149. >Every inch is a mile.
  150. >But you cannot die like this.
  151. >You are no weaker than she.
  152. >And if she has strength enough to kill.
  153. >You have strength enough to move.
  154. >You can feel the loss now.
  155. >But she's just an arm's length away.
  156. >You reach out for her.
  157. >You cannot speak.
  158. >But you plead for such a kindness to whatever higher power than she brought you here.
  159. >You put a hand on her hoof.
  160. >She shudders and opens her eyes.
  161. >They're beautiful in all their terribleness.
  162. >You collapse.
  163. >"Oh...oh no."
  164.  
  165. >You awaken.
  166. >Can you even rest?
  167. >You lay on the floor of a cottage.
  168. >Smoke rising from your wounds.
  169. >The yellow one looks at you with a small smile.
  170. >"Momma's so happy she didn't...uhm...sorry about---I thought I m-made you wrong."
  171. >You raise up your hands to console her.
  172. >But you cannot lift them more than an inch.
  173. >They are bandaged flesh.
  174. >You cough.
  175. >More of the darkness leaves your lungs.
  176. "Why?"
  177. >"...I didn't finish reading the chapter. J-just the how-to section."
  178. >She frowns and looks around her cottage.
  179. >Dozens of small animals are looking at her strangely.
  180. >"N-nobody else can see you."
  181. >And then she smiles again.
  182. >"You're all mine."
  183. >And you feel cold and damp again.
  184. >"And s-since you c-can t-touch me."
  185. >You are but a figment of an imagination.
  186. >You exist on a whim and can die all the time.
  187. >"M-maybe...if y-you wanted to m-mister..we c-could d-do it."
  188. >You close your eyes.
  189. >But all you can see is her.
  190. >"...y-you should be a little thankful mister, I m-made you...and I l-let you stay."
  191. >And in your closed eyes and imagined mind you can see why she let you stay.
  192. >A thousand terrible scenarios.
  193. >Every time a loss on her part.
  194. >Scorned by humanity.
  195. >Forsaken by her peers.
  196. >Seen as weak, fragile, flawed.
  197. >And kind throughout it all, save for when this was replaced with the darkest emotion.
  198. >She wished for love.
  199. >Physical love.
  200. >And that's the only reason you're here.
  201. >Your entire existence, nothing more than a rag doll of consciousness.
  202. >Built for her gratification.
  203. >You plant a hand on the ground and lift your wounded frame.
  204. >Nude.
  205. >She's smiling at your genitals.
  206. >They're as she wished.
  207. >You think therefore you are.
  208. >Clothing, little more than a long surcoat.
  209. >She frowns.
  210. >"You...you're supposed to do what I say, m-mister."
  211.  
  212. >She's speaking to you as though you are but a servitor to her whims.
  213. >You know what sort of future you have here.
  214. >And the only other alternative.
  215. >A bargain for mercy.
  216. "I...am not you. I am--"
  217. >She shakes her head, cutting you off.
  218. >"No, you're m-mine. M-made from m-my thoughts."
  219. "I am... conscious of myself. I am not just you."
  220. >She frowns.
  221. "As you are not just...meat."
  222. >You say it with a sickened tone.
  223. >She looks a little disgusted as well.
  224. >A route to pursue and consider if she lashes you.
  225. "This shall be a partnership, shall it not?"
  226. >She knocks her hooves together.
  227. >"...can y-you just s-stick a f-finger in my c-c-cooch?...please?"
  228. >You feel obliged.
  229. >She is your creator.
  230. >But you must define yourself in these moments.
  231. >Or else she can remake you to such purposes.
  232. "...I will be strong. I will be loyal. But you must see me as something beyond you."
  233. >She rolls her eyes.
  234. >"I c-can just close my eyes and y-you'll disappear."
  235. >There's something to her tone.
  236. >It's not a threat, nor is she sure of it.
  237. >She just wants to feel control.
  238. >You can relate.
  239. >"You r-really are nothing without me, mister...if that's uhm...okay with you."
  240. "You had to put me through great pain and risk for me to merely graze your hoof."
  241. >You let an unseen wind blow your hair and feel the breeze of the ocean.
  242. >She's smiling at you.
  243. >Like you're what she wants to be in this situation.
  244. >Like you're here little toy and she wants you to feel heroic right now.
  245. >"...okay Anonymous-tulpa. B-but we're going to be forcing a lot. And when you have a-any strength..."
  246. >You feel insignificantly small, perhaps because now you are.
  247. >She presents her glistening vagina at you.
  248. >"Y-you're going to fu-fuck Fluttershy."
  249. >You can see why others have reacted the way they have to her approach.
  250. >You reach out an arm and feel it fade into her like mist enveloping a rock.
  251. >Sadly, you cannot run.
