Obedience is Magic
Chapter 23: Every Punishment All at Once
Previous ChapterWell I don't know why I came here tonight
I've got the feeling that something ain't right
Starlight came to in a tiny warehouse, tied up and gagged on a chair. In front of her, Discord stood dressed in a white shirt and black tie, black pants and suspenders. Some sort of country song was playing from a radio and Discord was singing in a low mutter and dancing to the beat.
...And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Star struggled and groaned from her gag. There might still be some way. No matter what Discord had planned, there was a chance if she could just keep talking to him.
Discord finally looked over as he kept humming along to the music. "I just have so many wonderful ideas on what to do with you. I barely know where to start. Though this seemed like a good place."
Discord straddled Star’s lap, moving in close so his breath was on Star’s neck and a straight razor appeared in his hand. He slid the dull edge along Star’s cheek, then firmly gripped her chin with one hand. “Hold still.”
Losing control, yeah I'm all over the place
There was just the sound of the radio and Star’s panicked groans.
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Discord stood up and stumbled a few steps away and looked down at the blue pendant necklace he had cut off of Star’s neck. “You certainly won’t be needing this anymore no matter where you end up going.”
Starlight managed to work the gag out of her mouth. “Discord..stop. I just want to talk.”
“We’re way past that, Star. You were convicted by a jury of my peers. All that’s left is figuring out the best way for you to serve proper penance.”
“Why did you wait till now?”
“Hmm?” Discord glanced curiously.
“I’ve had Twilight in my control for a while now. Why did you wait until I came for Fluttershy? It was fun seeing what I’d do to Twilight wasn’t it? Maybe you felt nostalgic for seeing Twilight get put in her place.”
“Ah, poor poor Starlight. Maybe that line would have worked before Tirek used it on me, but I’ve grown as a person. I’m a much wiser omnipotent being now. You’ll be all the entertainment I could possibly need. We have so much time to decide what your fate will be.”
Discord put his foot on the chair and pushed it over. Star fell backwards and as she and the chair hit the floor, she shattered into a million pieces like glass. Each fragment became a tiny mirror, showing something inside.
“Discord….it isn’t that I’m not happy to see you, but I’m really busy and I’m not sure I have time to properly appreciate a gift right now.” Twilight glanced suspiciously at the giant gift wrapped up in massive red bows.
“If you’re so busy then this is perfect timing. This is to help make your life easier. Go ahead, please have a look.”
Twilight pulled at the bow of the present, and all the wrapping paper slipped away to reveal an Equestrian standing rigidly inside of a box. She had purple hair with teal streaks flowing down her back. She wore nothing but a white spandex one piece and stared straight ahead into the distance.
“Discord, what is the meaning of this?” Twilight scowled.
“Hmm?” Discord looked confused. “Oh, how silly of me. Of course you would think that….no! No, this isn’t a real person. It’s just a doll.”
“A doll?” Twilight looked incredulously at him.
“That’s right. It’s a special creation of mine, made to help you however you need. Watch. Star, raise your hands.”
The apparent doll wordlessly complied and lifted both hands up into the air.
“Star?” Twilight asked curiously.
“Yes, that’s the name I gave it. Just calling it a doll gets tedious. But you could change it if you wanted.”
“It just sounds really familiar is all…I could swear I’d heard that name before. And you’re sure it’s not a person you did something to…right?”
“Really, Twilight. I’m hurt to hear you suggest that. The old Discord might do that, but I’ve turned a new leaf.” He twisted around by his waist in a full circle, suddenly holding a giant maple leaf in his hands.
Twilight furrowed her brow and reached out with some magic spells to probe the ‘gift.’ Life detection, species classification…any kind of spells he could think of to double check Discord’s claim. Everything came back negative. As lifelike as Star seemed, every test confirmed it was just a magical construct. “This is really weird.” She said finally.
Discord gave a satisfied smile. “I understand it’s a lot, but once you try it for a few days you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Star, go make us some tea.” The doll instantly opened the glass wall of her inner box and walked towards the kitchen. “Any command you give it, Star can follow, from carrying things to making snacks to looking for books. Trust me, you’ll love it.”
“Well…I guess it can’t hurt to try.” Twilight said slowly. She resolved that she wanted some additional time to evaluate this odd gift.
After a week, Twilight was working on another one of her magical projects. “Star, go find any books that discuss rejuvenation magic.” Without hesitation, Star walked over to the shelves of Twilight’s library while Twilight poured over the books currently in front of her. Discord had been right. Star was incredibly useful. She was even able to scan through books and look for keywords, making Twilight’s research go much faster.
‘It’ was able…technically. It was easier to talk about Star like a person, even though every test Twilight had conducted the last week confirmed Star wasn’t and had never been real. Twilight was getting accustomed to the help as well, though she still felt a bit self conscious when others were around. She hadn’t used Star for anything while her friends were over.
Star returned with four books in her arms and set them down neatly next to Twilight.
“Thank you Star.” She replied. She reached up and ran a hand through Star’s hair, then pulled her hand back with a blush. Why had she done that? She’d started thanking Star for finishing tasks the day before because it seemed natural, but now giving the doll a pet on the head…It had felt like a nice gesture, like a way to praise a dog, but Star wasn’t even a dog. But she was more than one too. She was... Twilight decided she’d done enough research for the day and dashed out of the library. With no new orders, Star remained standing straight up, eyes forward in the dark library.
After twenty minutes, the door to the library opened and Spike snuck in. He looked around furtively and then walked up to Star. He stared at her and bit his lip. Tentatively, he reached out and squeezed her breasts, watching Star to confirm there was no reaction. After that, he leaned in and smelled her hair and pressed his body against hers. He felt his cock stir, pressing against Star’s waist through his pants. He let out a ragged gasp and after looking around one more time, unzipped his panda and pulled them down to his ankles. With a deep blush, he slid his dick between Star’s thighs, shuddering from the warmth and pressure.
He started to rock his hips back and forth, sliding his member between Star’s legs while letting out little gasps. Star remained silent and passive, even as Spike grunted and came, shooting strings of cum that landed on the floor in front of her. Spike pulled back with a mix of pleasure and shame. “Oh Celestia …that….” He quickly pulled his pants up and pulled a towel out of his pocket to clean up the mess he’d made and dashed out of the library.
A book on the table hopped up on two newly created legs and horns popped from the top of the book along with two googly eyes appearing on the spine. “Well well. That didn’t take long.” The book spoke with Discord's voice. “Although, Spike has a lot of pent up libido so I’m not surprised having such a realistic doll around would spur him to some experimentation.” Star remained motionless, but her eyes looked down at the book-Discord looking to carry some sense of anger with just her eyes.
Star stood naked on Rarity’s podium with the designer’s hands carefully caressing over her bare form. “Hmmm, yes something more casual this time. Not leisure-wear, but a dress with some versatility. Maybe start with a smaller chest.”
She squeezed Star’s breasts and they shrunk down to around the size of Twilight’s. Rarity reflected on just how convenient this doll was for making designs. It allowed her to plan and adjust for all sorts of body types, making her designs even more inclusive. Rarity put her hands under Star’s shoulders and pulled up to make the doll two inches taller. She’d been very skeptical when Discord delivered the realistic doll as a gift, but now she couldn't imagine designing without it.
Shining Armor turned over in bed and tried to wrap an arm around his wife, only to discover she wasn’t in her usual spot. “Mmmm, Cadance?” He looked up and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, fully dressed and pulling on a pair of heels.
“Good morning Sweetie.” She leaned in and kissed his cheek. “I’m sorry if I woke you. There’s an early meeting I have to attend, some issue with the local farm area.”
“Mmmm. Noooooooo.” He let out a little plaintive whine. “Stay in bed with me.” He slid over and wrapped around her waist and nuzzled into her thigh.”
“Oh I just can’t, honey. I wish I could.”
“You know how your noble guard gets in the mornings.” Shining whispered, starting to kiss down Cadance’s thigh along the narrow slit in her dress. “He needs his noble queen.”
“Oooh, my poor baby!” Cadance giggled and squirmed away from him. “If you’re that desperate, then go use the marital aid Discord gave us.”
Shining sat up slowly with a look of hesitation. “Are…are you sure?”
His wife grinned and leaned over, kissing him again. “Of course. It’s just a toy to help us out and I don’t mind you letting off a little stress when I’m not available. With all our responsibilities, it’s selfish for either of us to insist we only cum when we’re together. I’ll be back by lunch and I bet my selfless knight will be ready to go again.”
She stroked his cheek and headed out. Shining Armor got out of bed, adjusting his boxer shorts to accommodate this morning wood. He didn’t mind if Cadance used the toy Discord had sent them to masturbate, but he had been worried she’d feel offended if he used it, what with how it was designed. With her assurances, he moved over to the side closet and opened the door. The purple and teal haired doll knelt there and looked up at him and opened its mouth in anticipation.
Shining Armor slipped his cock out of the opening of his boxers and, while gripping the Star doll’s hair, shoved his member into his waiting mouth. Shining groaned as he felt Star’s tongue slide along his cock and the doll’s head started to bob. His hips bucked in response as the warmth and soft lips sliding along his member worked to build his arousal. He yanked on Star’s hair, pulling her onto his cock harder and harder till he was furiously fucking her face. It didn’t take long before he shot his load down her throat, pulling back out as a second spurt covered her face. Shining Armor let out a happy sigh, feeling so refreshed after cumming first thing in the morning. The marital aid doll was definitely handy. It was even self cleaning. Shining wiped his flagging cock clean on Star’s hair, tucked it back in his boxers and closed the door, leaving the doll in darkness.
“It’s it so much nicer when you’re helping people, providing a needed service? That’s what friendship is all about, don’t you think?”
Star managed enough volition to talk as she remained kneeling in the closet. “Are you happy with this, just whoring me out to people?”
“The punishment should fit the crime, right? And you mostly were turning people into your sex toys. And you planned to make so many more like that as well."
"You're being hypocritical. No one would accept using me like this. You're changing people even more than me."
"Oh I'm barely doing anything. All it takes is a little nudge to let people accept the idea you aren't a person. Everything they do after that is just what comes naturally. And don’t worry, not every punishment is pure sex, there are a few fun twists here and there.”
“Hey, Mac.” Applejack called out. “That new cow is getting full, can you help me out with milking her?”
“Yyyyup.” Macintosh wiped his brow and set down the hoe he was using to break up dirt to set up for a small vegetable garden near the barn. He followed Applejack inside and stared at the cow. It was a strange specimen with teal fur and two massive udders each bigger than a watermelon that almost hung all the way to the floor as the cow sat on all fours. It looked over at Applejack and Big Mac and let out a plaintive moo.
“I tell yah, Mac, this cow is fussier than an April Junebug, but it sure does keep us stocked.”
“YYyyuup.” Mac unbuckled his belt and pulled his jeans off and lined up behind the Star cow, seeing the creature was already overflowing and wiggling its behind desperately. The livestock produced so much milk, using just normal milking techniques could take an hour. They had to do anything they could to speed up the process, and what worked best…
Applejack lined up eight steel buckets nearby, placing two under the huge teets. “Alright Mac, I’m ready for ya.” Applejack gripped the cow’s nipples and tugged while Macintosh thrust his dick into her.
“MOOOOOOO!” The cow let out a hot cry and thick streams of milk poured out from her teets with each tug of Applejack’s hands and thrust of Macintosh’s hips. Mac did his best to hold back, but the pleasure eventually was too much and he came, speeding up his hips even more and continued thrusting until he finally was too soft to properly continue. Thankfully by then, there were only two buckets left to fill and Applejack managed to go the rest of her way.
“Whew! Eight pails was just barely enough. At this rate we’ll be able to sell ice cream and milkshakes at the next county fair.” Applejack declared.
Quibble Pants looked carefully at the life sized action figure, staring with an expert eye. “Not too bad, the craftsmanship is top notch, but you made a critical mistake.” He said to the convention artist. “I admit that the concubine looks like a perfect recreation From Daring Do and the Harem Slaves of the Snake God, but you used emeralds on the breast pasties instead of green peridot!”
“Party…party…party!” Pinkie Pie sang to herself as she grabbed balloons and filled them up with helium, tying them up to a huge bunch. “Hmmmm this party would be a great one for the big unicorn shaped balloon.” She grabbed a big, flabby teal and purple balloon and attached it. It quickly expanded into the shape of Starlight and then kept inflating, getting bigger and rounder, until soon it was hands, feet and a head all sticking out of a massive inflated balloon ball.
Twilight looked at the silent Star doll. It had been a week since she had reached out and petted the doll’s hair. She had finally decided that she needed to explore the feelings she had been having. The doll was so incredibly lifelike, it was natural she could have some reactions as though it was a real person. Ever since then her mind had been twisting in all sorts of wicked directions.
“Star…I’m going to kiss you.” Twilight declared. Star gave no reaction, not being given anything that could be considered a command. Twilight leaned in and pressed her lips to the doll, feeling warmth, but there was still absolutely no reaction. “Star…kiss me back.” With the command, the doll silently wrapped her arms around Twilight and kissed deeply, parting her lips and let her tongue reach out to dance with Twilight’s, yielding and giving exactly how much Twilight wanted in return.
Twilight stumbled a step backwards, panting for air and blushing crimson. This wasn't meant to be a sex doll. Was this Discord’s plan all along, to embarrass her? Or maybe this was just another way for the doll to be helpful. Twilight looked back at Star and moved forward. “Star, kiss me more.”
A.K. Yearling paused and looked up from her paper, trying to think of the best way to describe what happened next. It was one thing to be there in the moment experiencing her adventures and another to describe it in a way that would paint the picture to the readership. “Star.” She looked over at the doll she’d received from an avid fan. “Get on all fours and raise your rear end up. You’ve been made incredibly horny by the tentacles. Their pheromone slime has left you nearly mad with cock lust and you can’t think about anything but being impaled by the tentacles.” The realistic doll did its best to simulate the feelings and emotions of the description Yearling gave it.
The author nodded, happy to have an external reference to use and started to come up with some great descriptions. Daring Do and the Cave of Tentacles would be the best seller she’d had yet.

“Pardon me, young man.” Flim said to a passerby. “You look like you’re having a rough day.”
“You look like you could use a little pick me up.” His brother, Flam added. “Please allow us to show you the one of a kind Flim Flam copyrighted Starhole!”
They both pointed at a particle board wall with a hole at roughly waist height. The wall was painted with arrows all pointing down at the opening.
“Why for a mere ten bits, you sir can place your member this in this glorious hole, on the other side of which is a vixen of unraveled sexual enthusiasm ready to see to your pleasure. Would you like to give it a try?”
Sunny Starscout looked at the ancient map. It was clear that some important artifact of old Equestria was here. It was labeled as a site extremely important to the old Princess Twilight. There was nothing to do but start looking through the ruins. It wasn’t long, however, before she noticed a streak of purple hair underneath a rock. In a panic, she pushed the stone aside, but the person there was covered in moss and had vines wrapped around their body. They were unmoving, but still were warm to the touch…alive, and yet seemed to have been laying in this hidden place for centuries.
Sweetie Belle looked at her two friends. “Alright Crusaders, today has been the weirdest we’ve ever had. Not only did all three of us wake up to find we’ve turned eighteen years old overnight, but Discord gave us this sex-ed doll to try.” They all looked at the naked Star doll spread eagle on the floor.
“I don’t get why he gave us a girl doll if it’s supposed to be to help teach us.” Apple Bloom muttered.
“I don’t know…I don’t think it’s so bad.” Scootaloo said, eying Star and biting her lip.
Star looked around, feeling strange. She was on some massive, endless expanse of flat brown ground. Her vision felt weird…too high, like her eyes were higher than her head. There was a rumbling sound, and a mountain sized Fluttershy appeared on the horizon. “Here you go, Mrs. Snail. Some yummy leaves for you to try.” The giant placed several leaves, each twice Star’s size on the ground. Star tried to talk to the leaves, but could only slither slowly with a trail of mucus coming out of her single foot. She realized that Mrs. Snail was her, and the endless expanse was the same color as Fluttershy’s dining table. Star tried to scream, but had no mouth with which to do so.
Maud flipped her head around. For the briefest moment, she could swear she’d heard a tiny scream from one of her rock shelves. She looked around, but everything looked in order. She turned back to her desk while a purple and teal polished geode and a piece of mottled flint watched from the shelf.

There are image versions of the following conversation which I have made into separate blog posts.
Either option will show the rock conversation below
Seriously? A rock?
This has to be the silliest punishment yet.
I’ll have you know Celestia kept me as a rock for over a thousand years. I thought it was a pretty good punishment.
It’s a lot kinder. No ironic sex slave situation. It’s peaceful like this. You can just be a rock.
How long do you intend to keep this up?
Until I decide which punishment is most suitable for you.
You’re obviously running out of ideas. I mean, Pinkie Pie blowing me up like a balloon?
Hey, this fic is years old at this point. Adding an inflation tag might help bring in a larger audience.
What?
Nevermind, you wouldn’t get it.
I think I get why you’re doing this, though. All these wild punishments... You know exactly what would happen if you just reversed my hypnosis on everyone and let Twilight deal with me. I’d be confined somewhere extremely comfortable while Twilight continued to try to reform me. And that would bore you to death.
Twilight really doesn’t have any flair when it comes to such things.
But that’s the right friendship answer, isn’t it? Everyone would insist on trying to find some way to redeem me.
Suddenly Starlight was inside of a small stone room with metal bars with Discord on the other side. For some reason she intuitively realized this punishment was that she had been banished and then thrown into a dungeon in the place she’d been banished to.
“Hmph. Unfortunately for you, I’m the one that’s here to decide your punishment, not anyone else.”
“That’s right.” Starlight held onto the bars and looked out at Discord. “The point though, is you can see there’s something missing from Twilight’s friendship. Sure, there are benefits, but you don’t trust her to know what to do with me. You can sense that friendship is incomplete, insufficient.
“What are you talking about?”
“Why did you wait to confront me?”
Discord sighed. “You already tried this line and there’s no secret evil longing you’re going to find.”
“I don’t mean why you waited after I took Twilight. I spent three days trying to get Fluttershy under my control. Why did you wait until I finally succeeded?”
“There wasn’t any need at first. I’ve seen these kinds of stories before. You were going to mess up and be caught eventually. It seemed like Fluttershy was going to be the end of your story until you pulled that last minute escape.”
“That’s right, you watched as I released some new behavior from Fluttershy that almost ended me. I managed to get control by the skin of my teeth. But you didn’t stop me then, you still waited while I spent time to cement my control and worm my way in. Sure, anything I did you could reverse, but the fact you waited means on some level you enjoyed watching to see what would happen and what I would do to Fluttershy. And that means you aren’t as satisfied with friendship as you let on.”
“What is this? Are you deeming to interrogate me?” The room shifted to a dark office room with Discord sitting across a desk from Starlight with a bizarre machine staring at Discord’s eyeball, measuring micro dilations and contractions. “How dare you psychoanalyze me. That turtle had it coming!”
Star pushed past the new environment and the non sequitur. “I think you feel the same thing that I do. When it comes to friendship, something is still missing. There’s still a distance, a barrier, you’re always kept just at arms length. People create these arbitrary boundaries and won’t let you get any closer.
“There are things Twilight has never told anyone…thoughts and desires she’s afraid to even admit to herself. Friendship would never let those things out. I saw them, though. Fluttershy is very selfless and giving. And yet…there are things she hides from all her friends. Maybe you’ve sensed that there are depths she keeps from you. Maybe you wanted to see them. And you could let me do the dirty work, push past her boundaries, and you’d get to see what she’s hiding without being a bad friend. It was shocking, wasn’t it, how assertive and domineering Fluttershy became when I started digging?”
Discord hesitated and his iris shifted in size. “It was certainly surprising.” He admitted.
“What you saw just scratches the surface. There’s so much more to learn about those hidden depths. Fluttershy would never let this side surface among friends and would suppress it as much as possible. But with me, it can come out in all its glory without Fluttershy needing to feel fear or shame about it. This has been my answer to what is missing in friendship. I don’t want people to wall themselves off to me, I want all of them. Wouldn’t you like to see all of Fluttershy? Let me show you how much more of her there is to experience.
“Interesting.” The machine registered a heightened heartbeat and pupil dilation.
Starlight stared into Discord's eyes, picking her next words carefully. “I assume all of this has been like an illusion. Fluttershy should still be in trance, laying on her bed, waiting for more instructions. It is clear you have very strong feelings for her, but as things are now you can't see all of her. With just a couple minutes to give her an instruction, I can show you all those hidden sides.
Discord frowned, but Star could see his curiosity was piqued. He grabbed Star’s hand and pulled it up to his mouth. He stuck out his long, snakelike tongue and twirled it around Star’s middle finger and thumb. “Here, this is a one use, tiny fraction of my power. No messing with reality, just enough for a quick and painless scene transition. Show me this other Fluttershy before I change my mind.”
Star stared at her fingers for a moment, then tensed her thumb and middle finger together.
*SNAP*
Discord and Star were back in the living room with everything looking the same as before the chaos god’s arrival.
“For a presentation, there’s a distinct lack of Fluttershy here.” Discord said wrly.
“She just needs a good entrance. Why don’t you say hello to Miss Butterfly.”
The door to the bedroom opened and Fluttershy sauntered in with a sly smile. Discord’s breath caught in his throat as he saw how she was dressed. Her breasts were exposed with her nipples covered with a black X of tape and held up in the air by a black leather corset. She wore thigh high black latex boots with buckles that traveled along the entire length of them. She was wearing a pair of tight latex panties and on top of which was a large black strapon, waving firmly with little shifts of her hips. “Well hello there, Discord.” She said with a seductive grin.
“Fl-Flutter….shy.” Discord stuttered. He stepped back under the weight of her stare.
“Now, now, Starlight told you what my name is like this.” Her hips swayed heavily as she unhurriedly strode towards Discord. She came into arm’s length and ran her index finger down his chest and playfully circled around his nipple through his suit. “Call me Miss Butterfly. That’s easy, right? And good boys who use the right name can get rewarded.” She pressed her chest against Discord and gave his ass a squeeze.
Discord looked over at Starlight, a bead of sweat rolling down his face. “This is all her?”
“You can confirm for yourself. This other side is where she ends up putting all her desires to be assertive and all her pent up feelings she usually suppresses, including her sexual frustrations and it takes far less than a nudge for her to want to take out some of those sexual frustrations on you.”
Miss Butterfly shifted her hips and pressed the firm silicone sex toy against Discord’s stomach. “Discord, I bet being so high and mighty gets tiring. Maybe you’d enjoy it if I helped knock you down a..Peg or two.”
Discord blushed furiously. He backed up and looked at Star. “That is……I’ve never seen her like that. She’s so…so,” He waved his hands looking for words to express it.
“People contain such interesting depths. But don’t worry Discord. You can reverse this. Just turn me back into a rock and your friendship with Fluttershy can continue just the way it has with sweet tea parties and absolutely no sexual deviancy.”
Discord looked back at Fluttershy, decked in her dominatrix gear and a smoldering smile on her face. He glanced back at Star. “Well played, Starlight, well played.”
He snapped his fingers and froze Fluttershy in place. “I’m not saying you aren’t being a bad friend, but friendship would never let me see this side of Fluttershy. Maybe there’s something to your idea that it’s incomplete.” He pursed his lips. “For the record, I think you’re still going to mess up and fail eventually. But... I'm willing to observe and study just what you find out in the meantime. I’ll be making sure to study Fluttershy especially closely. If you can let me access this side of her while you run your grand experiment, I'll let you continue. But with Fluttershy you best work with a very light touch.”
“Oh I will, I promise, Discord.” Star said, trying to surprise her sensation of triumph
“It’s a bet, then.” Discord replied.
“A bet?” Star looked confused.
“That’s right. You say what you’re offering is better than friendship, so I’ll let you work to prove it. If you have a better way, I’m sure it won’t be a problem to have Princess Celestia come around to the idea. If you actually have confidence in this claim of yours, I'm sure that's your ultimate goal, right. Anyway, I have a certain Frenchman I’m overdue to torment so I can’t stay, but I’ll be back to learn more about this new side of Fluttershy," He blushed a bit deeper, “And to make sure you keep up your side of things. Don’t let me down Starlight.”
Discord vanished and Star stumbled backwards onto a couch. She had somehow survived. She had assumed convincing Discord to sit back and watch would be easier than it had been, but she’d done it. But in its place, Discord had laid out a line in the sand. If she wanted to prevent Discord from coming back and stopping her on a whim, she would have to enslave everyone, even Princess Celestia herself. Whether that was even possible, Star had no idea.
Author's Note
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. I went a bit overboard and had some technical issues here and there, but here we are, the most unhinged chapter I've released
