An engineer transplanted from Earth tries to take his work with him to Equestria, but it's a mare's world here, and he's not taken seriously. Teaming up with a purple alicorn gives him a shot at making his dreams a reality.
Anon, don't take that shit from the blacksmith, humans are better blacksmiths because we can grow beards and bearded humans channel the dwarf gods to bring down the fury of the mountain kings to beat the metal into submission
also learn to mill and lathe yourself, that's 2 skills that can create almost anything
“Lady, I come from a world where gender norms are flipped. That being said, I have NEVER seen a man treat a woman with your level of disrespect. I don’t deserve this, you don’t have the right, and your boss is with me on this one. You gonna let me do my job, or are we doing this the hard way?”
"Y'know what, you're right. You're a busy mare, and I'm just a stallion with too much free time. So I'll just wander around your shop... touching things. Ooh, looks like you have lots and lots of expensive and delicate tools on this workbench!"
While the childish part of me relishes whatever he's going to cook up, taking matters into your own hands isn't the correct course of action here.
When a subordinate refuses the direct order of a superior ("unfettered access," straight from the horse's mouth) you don't get revenge, you tell said superior so that the disobedience is properly dealt with, whether that is a reprimand, docked pay, termination of service, or stockades.
“Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. She wanted to shelter me, so I don’t think she’d suddenly drop it all in my lap. But the timing’s suspicious, Twilight. All this shit started happening just two days ago, and it all happened at once. Maybe it’s just one pony behind it.”
I suspect luna. Or Blueblood. It's always Blueblood.
They say never beat a dead horse...that is a very wise analogy. However, my rebuttal is as follows: Last time I checked, the forgemare is not dead...yet.
10021356 Hephaestus is the Greek god of the forge. Brokkr is a (norse) Dwarf. He and his brother Eitri made - among other magical items - Mjolnir. Not sure how you confused Norse runes for the Elucidean Alphabet. :P
”Typical stallion, trying to sleep their way out of what’s good for them.” She leans forward on her forelegs and glares at you. “No pony would bed a damn dirty ape like you anyway, not even in the dead of heat. Scram.”

This comment was made in the name of Brokkr, the Greek god of the forge.

Precisely what I would've said. That, or said something to utterly humiliate her.

I can't think of a more effective way to tender your resignation than to tell your boss to get fucked 'cause you do what you want.
