Ask Lyra

1) Sorry, everypony. I think you’re all gonna be in danger.

2) You can never call me that again. That’ll certainly help.

3) I answer these questions in the order I get them. According to tumblr I got this question twenty hours ago. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Be more specific.

4) Well, you’re a financial success now. If you can’t help yourself or your family, maybe you can donate a small portion of your profits to help others so they don’t have to suffer the way you and your family have.

5) Go behind the waterfall, then talk to the guy there and wait for three minutes. Then… Wait. No. Sorry, there’s no way to become a pony. You have to be born this way. Magic could transform you, but eventually it would run out.

6) The last place you look.

7) I believe ponies telling me situational things over the internet.

8) Because sometimes words have other meanings and you’re not meant to know them until you psychologically mature more.

You’ll just have to accept that answer for now.

1) Like what?

2) X XX XXXX?

3) Is jousting considered a martial art at all?

Oh yeah, I’ve been trained in the martial arts of Red Rover and Four Square.

Sorry if it is. I thought it was funny, though.

4) Taxes have never been raised anywhere in all of Equestria. Ever.

That’s the whole idea behind being taxed on what you own. Taxes never need to be adjusted.

5) As long as it was refrigerated. I had some chocolate pudding that was like six months old about a week ago.

6) You mean, “how do ponies go to the bathroom?” We- oh, how in Equestria am I going to be able to explain this. You see, we kinda- um… go to the bathroom.

It’s all terribly complicated. I hope you were able to keep up.

7) Before you ask, the intention behind mental tricks like that is to force ponies to think a certain way. To that end, it’s no different than posting the word itself. Censorship isn’t about stopping foals from being introduced to swears; that’s like trying to stop the sun from-… Okay, bad example.

You can’t stop foals from hearing unsavory content. But by minimizing it, you’re supposed to reinforce the idea that it’s not acceptable in civilized company. Because it isn’t.

1) Okay… Thanks?

2)

3) Yes. I’m Rambo.

4)

5) As I understand it, CQC/CQB is often required in hostage situations.

6) And people ask me why I drink.

7) I think these adverts are getting desperate.

krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) I’m not sure whether or not that would be…

It would probably be ridiculous.

ask-twilight replied to your post: 1) See, you’re taking the lack of a guideline as…

Can I stalk you, too?

1) Don’t be dumb.

2) Bee is still refusing to play along.

3) I wish I knew… I’ve got 12 questions after these 7! Not all anon, but still.

4) Good luck with your movie. You wish them luck too, right meta powers?

5) What a nice fellow.

6) Nine, but only because I’ve never heard of anypony actually losing control of their bowels out of fear alone. I think that’s more of a symptom of shock.

7) I stand corrected.

8) Yeah! Ha ha. Ridiculous…

9) Well that would certainly be interesting.

1) I’m not sure whether or not that would be offensive or… pandering?

…

Patronizing. Offensive or Patronizing in some way.

2) No. I’d completely forgotten.

3) I never asked for this.

4) Upbringing. Couldn’t afford to be stuck up.

5) I need a hero!

6) How could I train her in close quarters combat if I was never trained myself?

7) Princess Celestia could probably win in a fight. But seeing as Black Bolt can evidently scream and level an entire city, the question is more of how much would be lost in the battle.

1) See, you’re taking the lack of a guideline as an excuse to disregard all decency. But that’s ignoring societarian requirements. There’s just no cosmic good or evil. For society to function, there needs to be a good and bad- a right or wrong, within the boundaries of that society. When that breaks down, a society will break down. Society itself, as a function of civilization, is neither good nor bad either. But it’s widely viewed as beneficial in most cases, which is why it continues and why laws exist.

2) Another word for gender.

3) … Come on, brony. You’re kinda putting me on the spot here. There are children, both human and foals, that read this page.

4) You lost me this time.

5) I’m not a movie buff. I can attempt to look it up, but he evidently worked on five movies that year. I’m gonna guess The Shaolin Drunk Monkey.

6) Well, I’m home. So whenever you want to come over is alright.

7) You know I’m going to say no.

8) Get in line.

1) Me, right? ‘Cause of humans, right? Human hands? 'Cause I’m obsessed with them, right?

2) Uh… Go fish?

3) For what?

4) I… I’m sorry. I had no idea.

5) Is there an analog to that? I can’t think of one.

6) I haven’t heard of that. Don’t believe everything you hear.

7) No offense, but isn’t a demon telling me to be careful around a demon sort of the pot calling the kettle black?

1) … Okay… I’m not 100% what you’re talking about, but-

The reason why fanfiction isn’t completely pointless is twofold. A) It’s a training process that involves learning how to properly portray characters you had no hoof in creating, possibly in a world you had no hoof in creating. That is, something outside your comfort zone to make you grow as an author. B) To garner interest from ponies who may be invested in the subject matter you’re using, but have no idea who you are. You want to get some attention; get some ponies to trust you and support your real work.

Take that information and make the best decision you can for yourself.

2) Are you alright? What happened?

3) No offense, but everything that gets attention eventually turns into a game of profits in your world. I can’t change the commercialized reality of your world, but the idea behind the competition is sound.

4) I’m… not? I mean, yeah, I’m not unheard of. But this is tumblr famous. This is tumblr famous. This is tumblr famous. I mean, this guy might not have the most followers, but he’s got multiple posts with multi-thousands of notes.

5) I know this was from last night, but how about Sunday night? I kinda got something to do early tomorrow and I can’t stay up late.

6) Better to be useful than a one-trick pony. Trust me.

1) Oh, don’t be such a wet blanket. All societies like to prove their mettle every now and again. Official games are a great way to do that safely!

As far as entire careers being built upon that… Well, that’s the difference between ponies and humans.

2) My my! Is that a Jack Frost nipping at my nose? Hopefully with no sinister intentions in mind!

3) Morgan Freemane. Hooves down.

4) Don’t like that stallion. Not one bit.

5) We had a lovely, quiet dinner.

Then I nodded off early and now I can’t get back to sleep. Or at least I couldn’t. I think I can now.

6) You can give the candy to me and I’ll send them your regards.

7) I’m going to struggle and probably hurt you badly in the process. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s not.

8) That’s… a lot of bits…

1) And yet I’m almost certain I watched somepony kill you.

2) Get a stable job. Not so lofty, eh?

3) And that’s where I’ve been today and that’s where we’re going soon!

4) Actually… I did. Plus the creepy laugh. Then some filly ran off crying and I decided I should probably change costumes.

5) York! Hello! Cels, it’s been forever! How are you? It’s great to hear from you!

6) It’s alright. Had some just the other night.

7) … I’m having difficulty following. In truth, that not only doesn’t seem like a logical progression, it doesn’t sound like a rational thought.

8) Does it have to be about something I learned? Does it have to be a letter? Can I just sit down and talk to her?

9) That’s okay, Hulk. I made it this far without a father. I’ll be alright.

10) You only have jurisdiction over a society if they allow it. Otherwise, you’re invading Equestrian soil.

11) Not really a very good story. It was just playing on the computer and got really involved, but the song wasn’t playing very loud and I wasn’t consciously aware of it. By the time I realized how late it was and decided to get some dinner, eight hours had passed. I might not have been consciously aware, but subconsciously I heard it.

I now forever associate that song with a little, foreign, MMOSRPG called Dofus.

12) I go by Lie-ra, but whichever you want to do is fine by me. Just stay consistent.

1) I’m not. I’m strange like that.

2) That’d be interesting, but I don’t think he’d be able to commit to something that elaborate.

3) Hulk.

Hulk.

H-Hulk. I’m not your daughter. I think they meant another Lyra.

4) Oh. I already did them.

5) What is with ponies and butts lately?

6) I think so. This version, anyway. Longest I’ve ever listened to a single song was eight hours, though. I don’t even have Kiss From A Rose on my computer anymore. Don’t hate it, just can’t really enjoy it after that.

7) Look, I don’t care what part of the Lylat System you came from. You have no jurisdiction here so just head back off down the galactic highway and go throw your weight around somewhere else.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: 1) No, but I did a recording of her theme once. It…

Actually I think it’s entirely anon’s fault. Your sexual history is none of their business and in my world the fetishizing of female same sex experiences is very sexist.

1) While I appreciate you politely asking, the answer is still no.

2) Sorry, but my fighting days are over.

3) I think a lot of ponies trust me more than they should, the same way a lot of ponies place too much expectation in others instead of accepting them solely for what they do. But not Boscov.

4) Doing alright. The girls are enjoying their summer vacation, Bon-Bon’s getting a lot of work in, and I’m mostly just taking care of the house. Vacuuming, washing dishes, that sort of thing.

5) What are you talking about? I listened to that whole album! In one sitting!

6) Never seen the show, but from the description, no.

7) Uh… I mean. I was prepared to reply with “No. Not even close. Not even remotely close.” But… Uh…

B: Yeah, that’s actually pretty [omitted] creepy.

A-and this is from a movie?

B: It has to just be a coincidence.

That’s a pretty [omitted] up coincidence!

B: Stop freaking out. I’ll go contact some ponies and see what I can dig up.

8) I’ve never considered cosplaying as anypony. I dressed up as the Manecoat Killer at first for Nightmare Night, but I switched to the mummy costume because it was too scary.

9) Were they fetishising? I just figured they were curious since half of Equestria thinks Bon-Bon and I are, or at least were, together.

But yeah, tired of talking about it. Bon-Bon and I have never been together, at all. That’s all that matters at present.

1) No, but I did a recording of her theme once. It doesn’t have the flair of the original, though.

2) I’m sorry. It’s always sad when somepony passes on.

3) I was never a champion food eater, although there were a few competitions that were free to enter that I joined for a decent meal.

4) Oh Noes!

5) It’s not your fault, because I don’t think I ever tagged a post that I answered this in, but I’m sort of tired of answering this.

6) B: This isn’t the movies. Once your intentions are made known, talking during an engagement is not a good idea. The very way in which you vocalize is just another method of offering an opening to a target.

7) That’ll be a trick.

Wait, are you a little demon named Panpeus?

8) Favorite Song tag! If you read through them, all the questions you asked should be answered.

Sometimes I want to share one of my favorite songs, but it’s not exactly for everypony. This one by That Handsome Devil might be a little darker than you’re used to, especially from me. If you decide to listen to it and start to feel uncomfortable, by all means stop and listen to something brighter. I don’t want to make anypony depressed.

1) Is… Is that a thing?

B: D.

Oh… That… No. Not common.

2) Certainly! It’s been a while, but I wasn’t half bad back-in-the-day.

3) I don’t think so. There’s been a bit of news from Appleloosa regarding some flooding, but from the tone of the article nothing major.

Lot of thunderstorms around here lately, but I don’t pretend to understand how the weather ponies do their business.

Húfbol is pretty popular in Equestria. There’s also this underground group of pegasus athletes that have started playing quidditch.

4) Uh I… I feel asleep while we were watching the show.

5) Let me handle this.

1) I can, but the problem is I can’t predict when it will happen. I’ve been using it for the last two days and it hasn’t crashed again. I’ve been running next to nothing, since it seems to happen when I’m using too many resources (specifically a bunch of youtube videos), and I’m running off of a crappy GeForce eighty-five hundred GT graphics card because my good one crashes more often. But I’ll do that and let you know what it says next time it happens, if I’m able.

Out of all the times it’s crashed, I’ve only seen the blue screen three or four times. Most of the time it’s just my monitor losing feed. What happens after that I have no idea because I can’t see.

2) I got the cue stick thing, I just wasn’t down with the “hustle some chumps” jive. A reference, I assume.

3) Aw… Thanks, Hulk! You’re sweet.

4) And I’d like to congratulate Anon #4 for single-hoofedly bringing back the creepy tag. Because seriously… just [omitted]-A, mare.

1) I fold.

2) I don’t think so, though to be honest I’m not even sure what you’re asking.

3) That sounds like a terrible plot.

4) Ha! I knew you’d risk yourself for Mister Lincoln.

5) I would never say no to more cheese.

6) Again, we’re still just talking. Nothing’s started. We haven’t even decided upon a genre yet. I didn’t mean to get anypony’s hopes up, I was just saying.

7) That depends. Are they all lined up or scattered around the house? Am I acting natural or trying to hug really fast? Are they aware of what’s going on or am I surprising them?

Because Bon-Bon decided to act squirrelly and run and dodge from me. That really killed my time.

And then you’re left feeling like an [omitted]hole when you both realize the situation isn’t what either of you thought it was, but it was your fault for not figuring it out first?

I mean, I feel like [omitted].

…

Sorry, venting. I’ll answer some questions later tonight.

1) The point of a first date isn’t to make a good first impression, though it is important. It’s to learn if the two of you are compatible in a romantic situation. That’s why you’re supposed to be yourself. If it wasn’t meant to be, then it wasn’t meant to be.

That said, dress for the occasion, make sure you don’t give off a bad or overpowering smell, remain calm and don’t get yourself worked up. You might want to rehearse talking and it helps if you have some conversation ideas. Appropriate conversation ideas. Don’t bring up a tragic event. You want to be yourself, but present the best “self” you can. Just, you know, be prepared. If nothing else it shows you cared enough to put some time and consideration into the occasion. You want to leave a lasting, positive memory.

2) Trying to fix, or at least determine exactly what is wrong with my computer. I’ve also been talking with a gentlecolt about possibly working on making a game together. We’re still just talking.

Other than that, just regular stuff.

3) [Audible sigh]

Well, thanks for letting me know. And I edited that last post with the question I missed.

4) I’m pretty pessimistic about the situation at this point, but yes and yes.

The only thing I’m positive about is that it has something to do with flash.

5) Evidently I did. Just listened to it last night while doing regular things.

krastosthegluemaker said: Actually, the RCA Lyra was an early MP3 player. I had one, and it was neat at the time. Sure, it could only hold one-and-a-half worth of a CD album, but that’s still 50% more songs than a CD album.

1) You could fix my computer.

2) I know Applejack wears socks, but I don’t know anything about underwear.

3) What a coincidence! I need… Oh, let’s see… About the equivalent of 600 USD. If I’m lucky.

4) No! That’s not me! I’m a nice pony!

5) I’m a nice pony that doesn’t know what this guy is saying.

6) No.

7) Edit: Let her choose how to live her life. Not like one more pony that looks like me wondering around would make any difference, right?

8) I’m goin’! I’m goin’!

9) Sorry for not replying to this when it was, you know, relevant. I figured something like that may have been the case, but I wasn’t sure.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash answered your question: 1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’…

I always figured B was farther away. If he’s not, you might need more indication that it’s him since this is transcribed

kittysneezes answered your question: 1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’…

a bit confusing; I figured B was always smaller (unless he was clearly going solo), but sometimes you can figure from context. Sometimes.

jmg1234 answered your question: 1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’…

no, i could tell.

Okay. Wow. If anypony couldn’t easily tell right away which of us was talking, everytime, without fail, then I gotta do something. I don’t want anypony thinking I’m rude because of him.

B: It’s your fault for caring.

So, as you can see, B will now have a bold B: tag before his lines. I’ve also added the Bee of CUE tag to every instance since he started hanging out where he speaks so if you were ever confused or something sounded out of place you can go ahead and check to see who was talking.

In other news. I’ve had my computer wiped and switched graphics cards and my computer is still crashing (I’m in safe mode right now). I don’t know what’s wrong with it, my computer friend doesn’t know what’s wrong with it, and I don’t have the money to replace it, let alone play “guess which part is broken.” So… I’m sort of dead in the water here. I can’t do drawings. I can’t record music. I can’t even listen to anything with sound in safe mode.

All I can do is reply to messages once I turn this thing off and switch to my laptop (can’t do it here because the resolution is screwed up and everything is stretched out). So… That’s where I am right now. Felt like I was really starting to do better with this tumblr thing, but it’s out of my hooves.

1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’ mad. Just mad as mad. Mad everywhere. Lookat all dat mad. Trackin’ in da mad. Mad all ova da place. Just mad mad. All dat mad. Just mad. Who mad? You mad.

Mad.

…

Mad.

2) Oh yeah. That’s what gets me goin’.

B: …

And this isn’t funny to you.

B: Would it be funny if it were reversed?

Pfft. Get over it.

3) -ou wanted to say somethin’?

B: I’ve always liked conspiricy theorists. Makes it harder to pick out which improbable things are true.

Makes your job easier?

B: Not as much as you’d think. Just a personal preference.

4) Shut up, baby. I know it.

5) B: I was talking to the filly beside me. I don’t even know you.

6) I don’t think anypony’s ever asked me to rate their music. I have a few videos or links submitted to me now and again, but I rarely post them anymore unless something in particular catches my eye.

I’ll reply to just about any ask, but submissions are subject to closer scrutiny.

7) I found a short article about this Black RX, but based upon what’s there, he wouldn’t stand a chance. I get the feeling there’s more to it than just that, though.

P.S.: You guys can tell who’s talking, right? The big/small is just how far away we are from the mic. Usually I’m closer, but sometimes B is. Is that confusing or can you tell who’s talking?

1) B: Arresting officer? Is that how you see me?

B…

B: You certainly hold a grudge, Lyra.

That was a long time ago. Before I even moved to Ponyville. B is just a friend.

2) It’s fine, Strawberry. We’re cool.

3) Sorry. I have no money and I don’t have Steam. Sounds like a deal, if anypony else is interested!

4) Like, just us? We have lunch together now and again. She, I, Boscov, Tootsie, Sweetie, and the dog all went to the beach not long ago. Or… Or did Tootsie go…? I know she was there when we went bowling.

5) Always an option, I suppose. Just, you know, clean up afterward. Don’t litter.

6) Okay!

…

…

…

I’m back!

7) I think you missed and grabbed B.

B: … What? Now I pretend something’s happened and overreact?

[Audible sigh] You suck.

B: It just isn’t funny.

1) Not what I was looking for, but good enough.

2) Alcoholism.

3) B: The [omitted] should I know? I don’t even know them.

You’re the one they asked.

…

B: The [omitted] should I know? I don’t even know you.

4) B: Yeah, I bet you did.

I had a lovely night, Boscov. Thanks for making me feel better.

B: Yeah, I bet he made you feel better.

You are how old?

5) Strawberry, I do go back and read anything that B answers. Thank you for trying to comfort me.

6) Old games were good. Never really cared for the comics. Show was okay.

…

Pizza time!

7) It’s called consolidation.

The computer trouble saga continues as I have my computer wiped and the troubles persist! Hardware issues are the best issues!

1) Eh. Makes sense. You know, in that doesn’t make any sense sort of way.

2) I guess if you use “your” enough you’ll eventually get it right at least once.

3) B: I’m not gonna chastise the colt for trying to do the right thing.

4) B: So does everypony.

5) There’s all kinds of websites about how to recycle old VHS tapes.

6) I’ve beaten Contra without dying, but probably Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Blaster Master was pretty tough too.

7) Uh… Yeah. Okay.

1) B: You mean the one that tried to comfort his friend? Yes. Shame on him. He should have done what you’re doing.

2) B: Be glad I got to this ask and not Lyra. For the first portion, allow me to direct you here. For the second, the notion of grimdark derives from there being absolutely no hope. Things certainly didn’t go well for that filly, but she made it through. She found the light at the end of the tunnel and followed it out. Well, mostly.

3) B: Not being Lyra, I’d be fairly confused. Figured her demographic was a little younger.

4) B: She knows you meant well.

5) B: When I heard she made friends with a griffon, I was more than a little surprised myself.

6) B: Pretty sure Lyra doesn’t believe in ghosts. I believe in spirits, but you don’t want to hear about me.

7) B: I can’t tell if you’re calling Lyra a social justice… whatever. Or what exactly you’re doing.

1) Now? What happened to dinner?

2) If she and Tootsie are interested, I could see about that.

3) Not exactly what I had in mind. And it looks like you already knew the answer anyway.

4) …

Nothing.

…

I’m sorry.

5) Sure! Not tonight, as I already have plans, but we can arrange something!

6) …

I have to go get ready. B, can you…?

B: Sure, Lyra.

…

B: Until the day comes, if it ever comes, that you fully understand what that mare’s gone through, it’s best that you don’t compare your life to hers. There are more complicated and painful things to live through then accidentally killing a friend.

1) If you could specify what RCA is supposed to stand for, it might help. Then again, if I knew whether or not you used Lyra Player instead of Lyre Player on purpose or on accident, that would probably help too.

2) … I’m not a clever pony.

3) Hm hm hm… See you tonight.

4) Probably not.

5) I said it sounded boring, not torturous.

6) Nah. Was never really interested in professional wrestling.

7) Video was uploaded in negative to avoid being auto-removed.

As with all real forces within our world, magic must abide by the rules in which our world is comprised. Magic has the potential to do anything; it will never be able to do everything. And even if it could, why would we want it to? The kind of destructive nature magic of that magnitude could have in the wrong hooves would be apocalyptic.

This is why we have hospitals. This is why we still have to grow food. This is why houses take more than a day to build and why death is still a threat.

Fantasy and magic are two different things, but it seems like sometimes ponies forget that.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: I think I figured out my earlier computer trouble….

Yay

1) I’ve never heard of that and am pretty sure you’re making it up.

2) Amused, since that would clearly be a falsehood.

3) Really? Dinner then come straight to your house? You don’t have something to prove, do you?

4) I could argue that this page is only really for when I’m not doing anything, but considering all the unfollowers I’ve gotten lately, I sort of figured.

5) I only really play a few games here and there these days.

That is… a very strange game, though.

6) If I’m being completely honest, I sort of thought you might’ve been Scoots. I think you’re right about Boscov though, so I’ll give you the nod.

7) Finally. I mean, I legitimately bought this sombrero off the black market. It’s not like I stole it.

8) Well… I might have spoken too soon… It seems to be okay when I first reinstall Flash, but then it breaks again. At least it’s not freezing up my computer.

But as I read more about it, it sounds like the parties involved are aware and working to fix it. They just don’t know how yet.

For now, I’m back with Firefox and I’ve downloaded adblocker plus and set it to block youtube videos so I don’t accidentally break something.

I think I figured out my earlier computer trouble. Some sort of compatibility issues with Firefox, my graphics drivers, and Adobe. It doesn’t explain my moniter zonking out during boot up after a crash, but I’m on Opera right now and no crashes! Yay!

1) Sounds about right.

2) I think my version is sort of relaxing throughout, but the original? I mean, it was specifically designed to cause unease.

3) Yes.

As a disclaimer, I’ve never played Rhythm Heaven and only knew what you were talking about entirely be chance.

4) Not me. Do you have something in mind, big guy?

5) Just to confuse you as much as possible.

6) So Jews are citizens of the United States of America? Huh. I thought they were called Americans.

7) Upbringing mixed with apathy, I imagine. Why learn about something you have only a passing interest in?

P.S.: Why doesn’t Chrome let you turn off tabs? I’d have gone with that over Opera but I don’t like tabs.

1) Okie dokie.

2) You’re welcome!

3) Okay…

You realize at no point did you actually apologize to me, right? You apologized for your past, but never anything you did to me in your past. Or is that the whole point? Lead me to believe someone was sorry for something they did to me but then come back and be all “Oh! I wasn’t apologizing to you! HA HA HA HA HA! You stupid mare!”

Hopefully you’ll see where I’m coming from here.

4) Pretty sure you weren’t, since that’s not how anything works.

5) And you’re perfectly welcome to think that way, if you can’t help yourself. I work around foals; I’d rather rumors spread that I’m boring than a freak.

6) Flute. Tootsie Flute.

Also, sort of funny how the bedroom question is followed by “Candy String.”

pumpkincakeanswers replied to your post: What does the blue screen say? Also, do you have another computer that you can use?

Well, I have blue screens all the time, until now, nothing bad happened, but I heard that it’s not very good. Anyway, it happens to me all the time and I still don’t have any problem owo

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: My computer isn’t doing so well (blue screen). I’m…

Yikes :( I’m sorry! BSODs are so scary. I wish I could do more to help you!

1) It’s okay now. I think. I updated my graphics card drivers and it seems to be fine. Then I saw a new button on my start menu that said Nvidia 3D Vision or something and when I clicked it, it crashed again. So I removed that button.

Everything looks more crisp than before. I wish I’d updated it sooner. But I have no idea if everything is really all better now. Also, I deleted all the posts about it to conserve space. I was just kinda panicking. Sorry about that.

2) Twilight granted, but by what are you defining important by?

3) Oh, I’m sure you do.

4) What are you talking about, Rar-… Oh… Well, Salu~t! Nice to meet you…

… Elusive? Nice to meet you, Elusive!

5) This should help, unless you wanted to asking about something more specific.

6) Are you just the same anon or do I have a strangely large and vocal audience that likes Kamen Rider?

7) I swear to Celestia, Strawberry. If you turn me into a newt or something because I was playing dead, I'ma slap you into next week.

8) I'ma tell you right now. If you don’t have copies of all your vital, irreplaceable work files on a flash drive or two, you’re tempting fate. I’ve lost everything before. 500+ hours of music/pictures/writings- all gone. And when it happened, it was so sudden I never had a chance. If anything ever starts acting up now, first thing I do is safe mode and update my back-ups.

9) As long as I have everything I’ve worked on backed up, I’m okay. It would certainly hurt a lot to lose my computer, but I’d still have trusty my laptop!

Just couldn’t play City of Ponies…

1) Wouldn’t be the first pony after me.

2) Nope. Sorry.

I can’t even seem to set aside time to watch Regular Show and Adventure Time every week.

3) Can you buy a new one?

4) …

5) Aw… I’m sorry. We’re separated by the ponynet, but I saw this on tumblr once.

Huggu~!

Let me know if that worked.

6) I always liked the pointy chin! It’s okay if you want to change styles, though. Or if you want to just draw however you want for the situation! I like the mostly flat colors with highlighting/shading here and there. It makes it feel more animated!

I’m not very good with art. I don’t really know how to answer this anymore than that.

7) Sorry. I used to go to /f/. You learned pretty fast to be mindful of where links lead (watch the status bar). And always be aware of the volume, especially with swf files.

Sorry about that rockstar that died. It’s a good song you sent me, though! I like Celtic Metal.

1) Yep. Flashing face.

Oh… Was I supposed to have my sound on?

2) No. Why are you asking me.
I haven’t seen it.
I haven’t seen any sombreros anywhere.
I would not steal a sombrero.
Don’t ask me any more questions.

3) That’s not exactly a rare occurrence. It happens. Spiders are e͉̭̞̰ͫ͑ͪ͒ͪ̊v̨̞̗͇͌̿̐̽̇ͫ͡ẻ̷̵̱̮̯̗̞͙̳̽r̓ͮ͂͐͟҉̰̣̬̺͙̲̜ỳ̅̍҉̡̭̣w̸̴͔̩ͬ̔̏̍ͤ̚h̴̨̪͉̲̯͉̤͓̒ͥ̆̽̊͑̊́̀ẽ̝̘̪͉̙̖͇̈͋̓̀͢͞r̸͔̳̥̦̯̦̈ͨ̂͗͛̑̅ë̡̖́͗ͣͤ̽ͩ̾̕͘.

4) Knew I was forgetting something…

5) What if the sky is green?

6) That’s really more of your problem then, isn’t it?

7) No. It is too late.

I am undone.

1) I don’t like them on me or in my room.

2) Oh no! I’m suddenly allergic to hugs! *dead*

3) Me too. That was getting annoying.

Stop by anytime!

4) I prefer the buffy/heals. Bu~t… Depending on which game you’re playing, sometimes Black Mages get offensive buffs. Difficult to pin down, really.

5) Well, duh- He and everypony else. It’s perfectly alright to want somepony to be more than they are.

But the true mark of love comes from accepting them for who they are, not what they could be.

Ha! I was right!

krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) It’s a catch-22. With enough maneuverability…

Not to mention it’s greasy and taste bad.

1 & 2) Accusing me of cheating with two different ponies? Well aren’t you just charming.

3) Wow! Thanks! And yes, it’s happened. Mostly online. I think most ponies are polite enough to let me sit however I want in public. And yes, Bon-Bon has brought it up before.

Say, how come you don’t have a link on your sidebar leading to your other blog, and vice versa? It’d make it easier to navigate between the two!

4) The virtues of speed by somepony with experience on the subject. Also, I’m glad you were able to save so many.

5) I made a special tag for ponies like you.

6) Well… I guess… Unless it’s the high quality stuff, pizza is pizza to me.

1) It’s a catch-22. With enough maneuverability you should be able to accomplish anything how matter how weak you are. Unfortunately, pony error is a very real thing. Eventually you’ll mess up. A~nd poof.

Power is nice, but then you have the potential problem of things being too fast for you to keep up, or things that can overpower you.

I prefer a balance between the two with a focus on survivability. Staying power. That which allows you to remain in the game longer than most with less penalty for pony error.

2) No. Smells like new rubber.

3) Me too! We all did! Thanks for taking us!

Almost got a 150 on the second game.

4) Do you go around telling women in your world to make you a sandwich? And if so, how often are you met with rude, but completely justified replies?

Gender equality is serious business. Even if the tide is tilted in our favor, I don’t take advantage of it.

5) Suit yourself.

6) Bowling alley food is kinda expensive, anon.

1) Was just about to send you a message! Just let me get these answers out and we’ll be off!

2) There’s a reason I’m sometimes called an “uncultured git.”

3) Yes, I’m hoping the web team was trying to do something and screwed it up and are now trying to fix it. I’m lead to believe this because they screwed up the delete X a few days ago too.

Thanks for stopping in! Always nice to hear from you!

4) Tumblr says you sent this message twelve hours ago. Sometimes the last thing I do before bed is sit down and answer some questions. Maybe don’t surprise visit at 2:30 AM.

But hey! If you want to go bowling with the rest of us, head on down to the bowling alley!

krastosthegluemaker replied to your post: 1) I can’t remember what it’s called. It was about…

I believe you’re referring to Ibsen’s A Doll House. It is quite a play, although I don’t care for the ending, despite the door slamming being a deep cultural-impactor.

1) We’re supposed to be equal, but yes, our society is female dominated. Might seem strange to a human, but then again your male dominated society is terribly foreign to us.

2) I’m happy you find joy out of the little things in life!

3) Guess you should go ask an engineer then, huh?

Boink!

4) Something to remember is that cutie marks often carry deeper meanings. A crossword puzzle cutie mark likely points to a talent for all sorts of puzzle or problem solving, not just the crossword variety.

5) No. That’s just a hateful rumor that foals who have their cutie marks spread to pick on those that don’t.

I don’t know of anypony that’s ever reached young adulthood and didn’t have their cutie mark. It just sort of happens.

6) That’s the one! I figured if anypony would know, it was you! Thanks!

It’s a pretty rough ending, yeah. And it leaves the fate of the children up in the air, if I recall. But that’s sort of the point. Nora was no more a hero than any other character in the play.

1) I can’t remember what it’s called. It was about a wife who was treated like a trophy by her husband. There were a lot of analogies with the husband calling her pet names that had to do with small birds. Anyway, she had made a huge mistake and owed a bunch of money but was trying to keep that from her husband. I can’t remember how that played out, but in the end she left. Not because she didn’t love him, but because she had lived too sheltered and needed to see the world.

2) Well that’s nice. Maybe I’ll catch it once goes to television. I skipped the third one.

3) I’d prefer white chocolate or vanilla, if you have any.

1) Though I’d heard of it, I didn’t even know what the book was about until I just looked it up.

Sounds stupid.

2) Well, that’s relative. I was drunk once at midnight; that’s the start of the next day. Can’t get any earlier than that.

3) Earth pony. Not because I’ll get the horn back, because I’d rather be an earth pony. Earth pony’s never have trouble getting jobs. Physical labor is always on demand.

4) Okay.

5) I’ve never seen Frontier, but I’ll go with green-hair girl.

6) I’ve heard Rarity talk about that experience. Doesn’t sound too wonderful. Bon-Bon’s tried, but Sweetie doesn’t want lessons.

7) I’ll try.
