Yeah, something like that! lol
Maybe her hoofstink is a secret weapon against abductions?
Once malefactors get within range, she doffs her shoes…
@Lucky Shot
I would love to see more fics where zoonosis is the topic. I think I’ve encountered one so far: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/186300/the-guest
No idea if the reason this idea gets neglected is due to ignorance (“disease can spread to other animals?”), or lack of interest (“no action, too boring, etc”). 🤷
Found by Dr.REDACTED in a bakery in REDACTED eating a chocolate cake, SCP-6015 is a sapient female equine belonging to a species called alicorns. Her mane and tail can change from a physical state to an incorporeal version that constantly move in a non-existing breeze. Attempts to study such phenomenon have proven to be inconclusive so far. She is able to speak several human languages and can perform level-7 magic. Her powers seem to be somehow connected with the Sun and in several occasions she has shown the ability to interact and influence its cycle. SCP-6015 is intelligent and friendly, and her behavior can range from serious and wise to playful, often performing harmless pranks to the facility’s staff, like when she replaced DrREDACTED’s phone with a banana; despite her gentle personality, her powers make her potentially dangerous, as shown during the 20XX incident, when security officer Redacted tried to hit beat her with his electrified baton after she accidentally wandered in a restricted area of the facility, resulting in her using her telekinesis to blast him across the room [see relative dossier for details]. SCP-6015 is hostile toward demonic and evil entities, as shown during the latest containment outbreak when she used her powers to fight and consequently capture SCP~~XXX, ~~XXX, ~~XXX, and ~~XXXX, saving the lives of several members of the personnel.
Note: personnel that do not comply to her demands for belly-rubs and ear-scratch have been noted to show signs of mild depression when the SCP consequently proceeds to pout and look at them with sad puppy eyes; such symptoms disappear as soon as the SCP is cuddled.
There’s plenty of “first contact” fics. Some involve formal Diplomatic exchanges and stuff. Some involve Ponies and humans meeting in Space or Equestria finding the Voyager probes. Some have the Earth and Equestrian governments facing a mutal paranormal crisis and becoming friends under pressure. Many involve pony meets human and have instant xenophilic physical relations which then leads to diplomatic contacts.
See Admiral Biscuit’s work. In particular, The Trouble with Unicorns, Silver Glow’s Journal and Onto the Pony Planet.
Or the Ingress stories for more NSFW stuff. I am very eager for Co-opted Consort and Dreamscape to get a move on.
I also really like fics where Celestia or Luna slip away from their human diplomatic handlers and get into shenanigans with the common man in roudy human pubs and the like.
There are so many diseases (viruses and others) that can infect humans from animals that they have a term for them:
zoonosis
The following are zoonoses (among other transmission mediums):
• Anthrax (bacteria)
• Bird flu (virus)
• Ebola (virus)
• HIV & AIDS (virus)
• Leprosy (bacteria)
• Lyme disease (bacteria)
• Mad cow disease (prion)
• Rabies (virus)
• Salmonella (bacteria)
• Swine flu (virus)
• Tuberculosis (bacteria)
Many of these such as HIV were originally passed to humans by eating wild meat (“bushmeat”), a practice that still continues in many parts of Africa, which is why people of African descent are more likely to suffer from these illnesses.
Diseases such as rabies are more commonly acquired by receiving bites from infected animals. Although rabies has been eliminated from domestic dogs and cats in North America, wild bats remain very prone to infection (last I checked at least.)
@NeroDarkard
Human Immunodeficiency Virus jumped species to infect humans.
Same with Bird Flu
Same with Swine Flu
Same with Sars
Same with who knows how many other diseases
@luna’s husbando
Virus, you say? Nothing. Viruses are specialized on some very specific species. A virus that affects ponies doesn’t know how to infect human cells at all.
