You’ve never had scotch before?
1) I’m sure this will come as a shock, but no it is not okay to talk about erotic fiction on this tumblr.
2) Slowing down both the audio and the vocals a little, instead of just the vocals, might have made a less horrifying experience.
3) Nope.
4) And one where I never went back to stop them because I was never abandoned.
5) Not in particular. That is, the word alone isn’t.
6) Are you kidding me? Last time the fluffy pony was in some kind of danger and now we’re rebooting with this back to square one? What happened? Did the original series not market well enough to foreign countries?
7) Salu~t! No need for potions here but if anypony mentions one I’ll let them know!
8) Nope. Started with domestic beers and ciders and just gravitated to wines.
krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) I watched a video with chapter 1 and 2 in it….
..A brown bear a long time ago. But look at the bright side. Other traditions include the Scotch dance.
1) A loud minority that all groups contain once they reach a certain size.
Except Fallout Equestria. There’s really no excuse for that. You don’t see us writing fanfics about humans on a postapocalyptic planet based on a video game.
2) It’s an action-strategy-RPG-FPS. Even disregarding the storyline, is this a rhetorical question?
3) Your show should have been cancelled a decade ago.
4) Is there one? I mean, I stand around all the time.
5) That’s Faggor the Gayanator to you.
6) Intercourse with intellectually inferior animals has always seemed cruel to me.
Not to be confused with interspecies relationships.
7) Well that’s not fair. There’s nothing obtuse about any special talent. At least, not the real ones. These made up talents RPers come up with can be pretty redict, ya know?
8) Would you believe I’ve never had that before?
Either my first or second day out on the streets, once I was too old to stay in the castle during the day, I stumbled upon a group of older kids who called me over. They asked me a bunch of questions, like where my parents were and where I lived, and tried to explain a bunch of things. I barely understood any of it, but they led me to a street corner where a bunch of other foals around my age were playing. There I met my best friend.
We ran and sang and bounced rocks. When the guard patrols came around, we hid together from them like the older ponies did, even though they told us not to. We talked about what we knew and what we wanted to know. About our dreams and aspirations- the kind of things it’s easy to talk about when you’re younger. I tripped and fell at one point and she helped me up and made me feel better. We played together all day until it got dark and the older ponies said I had to go home. I was sad, but she said she’d see me again tomorrow.
I met her again the next day. She gave me a hug and we played again all day. She was the first real friend I’d ever had. I valued every moment I spent with her. I came back the next day, then again the next day, and the next day. Time seems to pass slower when you’re younger, so I don’t really know how long I knew her. But eventually the day came that she didn’t come back.
I asked and some of the other foals said that maybe she was sick. Next day, same thing. And again, and again. Eventually they wouldn’t even answer me. They’d just look away or ignore me if I asked about her. She was just gone. I never found out for sure what happened to her.
1) I haven’t, though somepony has brought it up before.
2) I can see this dialog is really gonna go places, with ground-breaking research and proper citations.
3) I am, but it’s not. You shouldn’t feel the need to prove anything to me.
4) Too bad.
5) Remember that question about triggers?
Here’s one.
6) Zero. Unless you mean visual contact.
7) I’ve actually spoken about this before. Growing up I was right there with the grime. Keep your head down, your eyes averted and your mouth shut. As an adult, I understand the importance of speaking out. If I had made more attempts to contact law enforcement, I’d have been a lot better off. Maybe some more lives could have been saved in the long run too.
1) I watched a video with chapter 1 and 2 in it. Chapter 1 was terrible. The second one was alright.
2) Yes. That’s exactly how that works. All girls pass waste from their bodies the same way birds do.
3) If I did, I’d still be evading it.
4) You used fatness and place of residence as character assassinating insults. Combined the two concepts together and attempted to use them to prove stupidity, ineptitude, or both. You cite no creditable sources or statistics for any of these claims, nor prove that they have anything to do with anything even if they are present. And that’s just off the top of my head.
Ahem. But no. I’ve never heard of this social thingy.
5) I tried to look him up, but it doesn’t sound like he has any powers. That would be the equivalent of trying to stop a truck in your world with your face.
6) Brawls are shorter. My pitiful magic reserve is only suited for the short term.
Seriously, 5 miles. Who comes up with something like that?
7)
krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) I’ll be the first to admit that, in the grand…
And I had to keep you in a tight bear hug until security arrived. I’m just thankful there were no young, impressionable foals around to hear what you were saying.
1) Yeah… I didn’t like Harry Potter. I mean, I even read four of the books. I just never got it.
2) Everypony does. Someponies just hide it, or try to tell themselves they don’t mind.
3) I have a pool of character names I pull from, depending on the situation. Sometimes I make some more up, but it takes a while.
4) What? I’m the Wacky Queen! I breathe wacky! Zany too! Tots zany!
5)
6) The thing about stress is that it doesn’t care what’s bothering you in the physical world. If it has a strong psychological impact, it can be just as damaging to your mind as the stressors accompanied by life-threatening situations. It’s all about mental conditioning, and it’s certainly something that needs to be given much greater attention.
That said, there is a marked difference between losing your iPony and losing the last bit you had saved for dinner.
7) Let’s play a game called List the Fallacies! How many can you spot?!
8) Hey! I’m more aware of my surroundings than that! Even in the heat of the moment, I knew there weren’t any around!
1) I’ll be the first to admit that, in the grand scheme of things, I don’t know jack about music. But if there’s one thing I always remember, it’s to stay away from that hotel.
2) I’m sorry, all I heard was-
3) Some random b-… beautiful young mare, yanked my mane and Krastos had to hold me back.
4) No more hate. No more ponies hurting each other intentionally. Everypony is free to not like one another, but no more violence.
There are certain things that exist in our world that, if removed, eliminate purpose. But wonton violence or fighting over plentiful resources isn’t one of them.
5) Please don’t.
6) There wasn’t any. Not for me, at least.
7) Hub Network just sounds like a system. And Hasbro, a brand. You won’t fool me that easily.
Found one of your little spy cams.
Not a bad shot, but didn’t that logo used to be in the bottom corner?
Edit: Found a bigger one.
1)
2) Don’t the bees die when they sting?
3)
4) Are you?
5) I think Freddie would tip the scale in Equestria’s favor.
mutedgrey replied to your post: agentcoffeeseer replied to your post: 1) Never…
Yay Successful holiday celebration! :D
1) I don’t really have a point of reference. Krastos says it went well.
2) He means enough to me that I would never, even if I wasn’t with Krastos.
3) Pretty good!
4) Well, that’s sort of the point. Members of Cue aren’t supposed to be seen. He could have been there all along and you’d have never known it.
5) It was sort of a friend-of-a-friend type deal. I had to at least give him a shot. And he was funny, up until the tongue-on-the-Tootsie part.
And leftovers are not a problem! Leftovers are tomorrow’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
6) Thanks for celebrating with us!
Mr. Cake is feeling a little down, so I wanted to share something close to me.
Like the other screenshots I’ve posted, this is from my version of that human game about us. This is where I’ve stood from the time I was level 22 to where I am currently, having just reached 41. Even though we don’t get to talk very much in reality, I get to see him everyday!
I just want you to know that if you ever do leave tumblr, while I’ll respect your decision, I’ll miss you Mr. Cake. You’re my friend and you do mean a lot to me.
agentcoffeeseer replied to your post: 1) Never heard of it. 2) I don’t care? I’m a…
“All up ons”? As in “the ladies will be all up ons”? Can’t say I expected to hear that anytime soon.
1) Thanks! And thanks for coming!
2) It went well, foal-licking aside. Rarity called and had to cancel, and Tootsie’s parents only came to drop her off. They had some sort of high-class party to go to or somethin’. But everything was great and tasted great!
3) I have no idea. I know most of the time they don’t even see one another. B says there’s a few members he’s never met at all.
4) I don’t know what he’d say, but I know what I’d say!
5) Well, more like on top of the situation, but you know, whatevah.
i lose.
To be completely honest I figured something like this would happen. I was pretty surprised you lasted as long as you did!
Now get the [omitted] out of my house.
1) B: You are dumb as a board and twice as entertaining. Too bad boards aren’t entertaining or you’d be in business.
2) B: Hey stupid! It’s the question about the thing!
I haven’t seen it!
B: She hasn’t seen it.
3) B: Got a list here. You, Lyra, Bon-Bon, Krastos, Krastos’ brother Harry, Sweetie Belle, Rarity is marked as a maybe, their parents, Tootsie Flute, her parents, York, Black Strawberry, Fuse Light, and something called a “Sexxi Bby” whatever that is.
B: I won’t be present. Unless I need to be.
4) B: She’ll let you know who actually shows up, I’m sure.
5) B: I’m just helping out while she and the household are busy getting ready. But I do check her account from time to time.
6) B: Hey stupid-!
I said I hadn’t seen it!
B: No, the other one!
That doesn’t have just one definition!
B: She needs more clarification.
B: Oh, and I’m supposed to link this song.
1) B: I don’t know the first one, but sunrise for the second. Not that she’s ever up early enough to see one.
2) B: Sounds like the opening to a playset commercial.
3) B: Why are you asking?
4) B: And how exactly do you plan to distribute this theoretic blight of boredom?
5) B: That was funny.
6) B: How does she deal with this [omitted] every [omitted] day?
1) Never heard of it.
2) I don’t care? I’m a freakin’ adult; I don’t care what you think.
3) I know this message was sent before the fact, but to reiterate we’ll be starting at 2 instead of 4. I don’t know where my head was at.
No need to help, I don’t think. K-tos is all up ons this one.
4) Not me.
5) Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 2,000 bits.
6) This must be the anthem of Idiopolis, from whence you obviously hail.
1) He’s welcome to believe in cosmic morality, just as I hold nothing against anypony who does. It simplifies things so much. I wish I could still think that way…
2) Oh, you know. General overreaction. Murderous rage-fueled overreaction.
3) He was just a little confused. I was too, though that was quickly replaced with, you know, the murderous rage-fueled overreaction.
4) About the same way I feel about a dragon’s claws.
5) Of course. Pretty much everyday. She was my friend. Still is. I was so excited to see her back. I hope she finds some time to visit again soon.
6) Actually, slight change of scheduling. We’ll start at 2 pm. You can come around at 1. Bring an empty belly!
You’d have to ask Krastos or Bon-Bon. They’re in charge.
7) B was ready to take this seriously right up until the end.
Zach and I recently watched the room, and someone linked us this.
I would totally expect her to do that.
1) You playin’ State of Emergency or somethin’?
2) Maybe, but I wield a magic sward.
3) Like a half-baked anime.
4) No, but we can spin them around like a drill and pop blocks.
5) Can you give me a point of reference?
6) Always nice to hear from you!
7) If I say no, you wouldn’t believe me. If I said yes, you’d take it as an admission.
So if it doesn’t matter what I say, why speak at all?
krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: krastosthegluemaker replied to your post:…
Tofurkey is a substitute for turkey made out of tofu. It’s pretty good, at least in my opinion, though I never ate regular turkey.
theblackstrawberry replied to your post: krastosthegluemaker replied to your post:…
I will bring cornmeal. Turkey flavored tofu. Sweet corn meal is my favorite.
1) W-Why would you make something that’s supposed to emulate meat?
2) It’s… It’s shaped like a turkey too? Why? Why would anypony do that? That’s morbid and awful! I mean, I understand if you did it in the past, but why aren’t any ponies outraged at this?
3) You will not. We will have a traditional Equestrian Thanksgiving celebrating the last major harvest of the season. Not glorifying the culling of animals for meat!
krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: theblackstrawberry replied to your post:…
Speaking of Thanksgiving, can I help with the meal again this year? I want to try out all the recipes in this Thanksgiving cook book, and I figure this would be a perfect opportunity. We just need to invite enough ponies to eat all of it.
1) Certainly! Krastos has even wanted to make sure they’ll be enough mouths for all the food!
2) Good. You’ll have to tell me about it sometime.
And not slap your own side.
3) Huh. I’m sure it’s a fine movie. I’ll probably watch it at some point. Just not going out of my way over it.
4) Nope. Don’t have time.
And to be honest, I’ve only heard a few songs by him.
5) What in Equestria is a tofurkey? And I’d rather you didn’t bring fish. We’re supposed to be celebrating the harvesting of crops, not animals.
6) Oh my. Whatever shall I do with all of these Apple Cinnamon Nutri-Grain Bars?
7) I… I’m not sure if that’s even okay for me to post. Sorry. I’m erring on the side of caution.
But the answer is, uncomfortable. It makes me feel very uncomfortable.
8) Got one more invitee!
YOU OP, HOMEBREWED MOTHER [omitted]!
theblackstrawberry replied to your post: agentcoffeeseer replied to your post: Might be…
… sleep over party?
1) You must be beautiful on the inside first, silly!
Then just turn yourself inside out.
2) As you wish.
3) Jedis are grody. R2 units are where it’s at.
4) Nuh-Nuh-Nuh-Nuh-Nasty!
5) What are you even talking about? It’s just a tumblr about a pony.
6) A fate worse than the DMV.
Which is why there isn’t one in Equestria!
7) Do you just expect us to have a collective conscious or something? I’ve never seen Hoof of the North Star. Somepony else probably has.
8) Your Thanksgiving privileges can be revoked, Strawberry.
agentcoffeeseer replied to your post: Might be interesting for historical aspects, but…
Personally, I’d like to go there to try their cuisine.
1) Uh… What? Not that I-… I mean I don’t just sit and study the library or anything. How would I know?
2) If you show up before 4 PM I will pelt you with Apple Cinnamon Nutri-grain bars.
… That… That joke will make a lot more sense in a day or two.
3) Of course! Lay it down, yo!
4) Sure. Johnny does.
5) Not really.
Watch that like five times and you’ll be all caught up.
6) Okay.
7) I’ve been informed in the past about the unfortunate event.
8) Different strokes, I suppose.
Might be interesting for historical aspects, but I’m not really a history mare.
I’d like to read some about magic from their age. I’ve heard they had access to magics that fell out of favor centuries ago, or were outlawed for one reason or another.
See, earth ponies historically shunned magic. Crystal ponies didn’t. They found ways to access it through enchantments and magically-infused objects, of their own design, without unicorn aid. Largely antiquated compared to what unicorns can do today, but incredible for it’s time.
With the crystal ponies return and modern day practices, it’s possible we may see a resurgence and expansion of those ancient techniques. Depending on how integration and regulation pans out, we may be on the cusp of the next magical age.
krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) Some kind of ranger show reference, isn’t it? …
Eh… The Village Ponies’ original was better than the Pet Shop Boys’ cover in my opinion. youtube.com/watch?v…
showtimerider replied to your post: 1) Some kind of ranger show reference, isn’t it? …
I believe “go turbo” may be referencing Wreck-It Ralph.
1) Didn’t we already do this?
2) Not that I know of. Cost of living isn’t that high.
3) I never did give permission for that. Just walking down the street and wind up in a porno.
4) Wouldn’t less/zero gravity lead to muscle atrophy? And if you create some sort of artificial gravity, what was the point of leaving?
5) What’s musical taste have to do with anything? For that matter, The Village Ponies were one of the great musical forces of their time!
6) Like being in direct contact with some underworldly demon.
7) I thought that sounded familiar!
8) Oh. Not that interested in the movie, to be honest. Just sounds like a business pandering to a select demographic that always feels unappreciated and underrepresented.
1) Somepony complains that I’m not following any gay male tumblrs (which is completely coincidental), somepony else complains about me following an androgynous pony. Somepony complains about me following a pony that’s sexy without being explicit, somepony else complains about me following a tumblr about an interspecies relationship (which is just, like, really?!). I make a post that gets over 300 notes and lose like 7 followers!
I can’t freaking win to save my life!
2) Except that…
3) Strawberry, you know you can come over for Thanksgiving. Just don’t stay all night.
4) You don’t just suddenly realize something like that. It takes time.
5) I don’t know… That doesn’t sound right. Maybe it’s a cultural thing for humans but not us.
6) I’m a little concerned. This is Princess Luna all over again, multiplied by the citizens of an entire empire. How does a society from a thousand years in the past catch up to modern technology and customs?
1) Some kind of ranger show reference, isn’t it?
2) Well, I applied for a general aid position at the primary school I’ve been subbing at long term.
Also, I’m pretty sure you can count the number of times. Can even exclude the ones where she was directly involved in the crisis beginning.
3) Did you know that when I answer messages the specific chunks are listed in reverse order? Rhetorical question.
4) I’ll be sure to throw a huge party if I actually get that job.
5) Those are silly, boring questions. You’re silly. It’s not like I went to the Crystal Empire. Though I think Berry Punch did.
6) Thanks! I fixed it when I got this message.
7) Sounds good to me! Thanks for the link!
patchoulol replied to your post: 1) No. Shocking, I’m sure. 2) W-what? 3) I’d…
I’m still here, too! Honest. Little less obsessive compulsive, though.
1) Just making sure. Not even addressing this anymore.
2) You know, if they hadn’t aired that commercial three times in a row I don’t think anypony would have cared. I mean, it had been airing for months.
3) Dark magic? Never heard it called that before.
5) … Wat.
6) That’s for him to answer, not me.
7) I was a little curious about that, but you get used to the whole slithering-on-your-tail-thing surprisingly quick!
8)
1) No. Shocking, I’m sure.
2) W-what?
3) I’d rather you didn’t.
4) Shame about that socialism thing. Just as well, though. Never quite works out in practice.
Personally, I don’t feel that setting aside a day to celebrate half of a planet’s population is really the best approach to equality, for either side.
5) Certainly! Just usually not online. That’d be sort of sad.
6) Is… Is this a Minecraft statistic?
Also.
Holy moley! I-I knew you followed me but I didn’t know you actually looked at anything I posted!
1) That’s just more reason to do it! I’ll have somepony to watch over me while I act a fool!
2) Given what took place today, that’s a lot more unsettling than it would have been before.
3) I’ve heard all the ones from 2 too much. I’m gonna pick Gemini Mare. Spark Mare as a close second. Honorable mention to Dust Mare for not sounding like a regular stage. It sounds like a fortress/late game level.
4) Love you, baby! /Mung Daal
5) Good thing I have a knack for fighting destiny, huh?
6) Not watching it.
7) They aren’t just skimming some sort of excess love off the surface, if there even is such a thing. They take love. And they take a lot of love. It drains their prey of that which gives us purpose. Even in the most sinister of souls, love is what gives us a natural reason to go on. Even if it’s a love of something wicked.
If you’re asking why they don’t show some sort of restraint and only take a little, I have a theory but no real evidence. The single study I’ve seen defines concentrated love as a substance that throws the subject into a sort of euphoric state. They feel elevated beyond anything they’ve previously experienced and they want more.
1) WEELDING A MAGIC SWARD!
2) He’s gonna be a doctor in a year. What more can a grossly judgmental society ask for? Pretty sure I should be considered out of his league.
3) They’re all definitely cool pictures. But they’re pictures of a character, not really me.
4) Are you accusing some other Lyra or me?
6) I guess I’d want to know who my parents were, with Princess Celestia as a witness. I’d probably regret that wish, but at least I’d have my surname and unquestionable validity. Then I’d probably wish to be a really good musician and composer. Might just pocket the last one in case of emergency.
Sorry, no multiverse wide peace here. That’s something we strive for, but to ever truly reach it would eliminate free will.
7) Trash Metal.
1) Oh… Uh… No… No I don’t think so.
2) Not in the slightest.
3) Funny you should mention that, having technically received the message before Krastos’ post.
4) No seriously, what is with tumblr and butts?
5) Once a day, in the evening so I can sleep in a little longer in the morning.
6) Nope.
7) No point wasting hope on what can not be.
8) Nah, I figured I’d go get drunk with a bunch of strangers and pass out in a bar.
Now, unlike those boring elections in your world, this is actually interesting. For those that don’t know Puerto Rico, which is a territory of your United States, has been flirting with the idea of whether or not they want to try joining the country as an official state. It’s been going on for years. On the same day as your election, there was a proposition put to vote that resulted in a majority expressing interest in joining the union.
By no means does that action alone solidify anything; it’s a complicated process and the majority was narrow. However, your reelected president has gone on record to say that he would support Puerto Rico joining your U.S., if it was the collective will of the Puerto Rican population. The heart of the issue is whether or not it really is the will of the population. There are very real concerns about how the proposition was handled.
Why do I care at all? Even if you look through civilization after civilization, universe after universe, it’s not every day one stable society offers to willingly join another.
krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) Darn. Now I feel even stupider. 2) We don’t…
I thought we did have the talk… That same illness is the reason I don’t exactly have the best memory around.
1) Zero what? I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but if you’ll notice I said calender year.
2) Nope. I was off Tuesday, but only because it was a teacher work day and I’m not technically a teacher.
3) Let’s see here… Looks foreign… Adult? What’s Eroge? … Oh for Celestia’s sake…
5) A little. Mostly I wouldn’t expect her to be so egotistical about it
6) How…? How did you figure it out?! I was so careful to hide the truth!
7) Try again.
8) Oh [omitted]! I remember now! Krastos, I’m so sorry!
