1) Sorry, can’t fake enthusiasm. When you’ve hung around CUE as long as I have- it takes more than a few short-duration age spells to catch my attention.

As for the fate of Ponyville, I don’t think so. I’m sure Twilight’s reputation would have taken a hit if she couldn’t solve things before Princess Celestia showed up, but that’s about all that was ever at stake.

2) What you’re probably referring to is their face and size, I’d assume. And those differences are because, like zebras, they aren’t ponies. They’re still equines, but Arabians are horses. You’ll also note they have no cutie mark.

3) Eh… Don’t think my “stats” would translate very well into the Fallout universe. Probably safe to assume I’d just suck.

4) Sure was. Mostly it was nice to have a break from mining stone for Trixie’s stupid statues.

5) Thanks! I do my best between salon trips!

6) A powerful mage in her own right, but she lacks a solid foundation. She knows some more advanced spells that you wouldn’t expect, but she’s never gonna get much better without going back and focusing on the basics.

7) No. We manage her diet to avoid that.

8) Mang, dat’s racist.

1) Dude, I have no idea. There are no schools in Equestria that are specifically for griffons. I’ve never taught at one, I’ve never been to one, so I have no idea what to compare to.

2) Not that I know of. I mean, it’s possible and I just don’t know they’re from here.

In fact, only one I can think of off the top of my head is this country band that plays at this one restaurant every Tuesday, but I’ve never been while they’re performing.

3) If you were comparing a shotgun to the arm vs. death, you might have a legitimate argument. There would almost certainly be residual effects to the non-lethal attacks compared to them not happening. But against being killed? No. No question. If you’re talking about reaction time being lowered by even a full second, that’s compared to it being lowered by… forever!

4) A legitimate position, but where’s the proof that the cameras came before the following?

5) I’ll take my chances.

6) Bleh! No! … I mean… No.

1) Well, I don’t have cancer. And you have to remember that almost nothing that happened to me was exclusive. I’m just one of the few that survived. There are others.

2) Nah. Too much responsibility.

3) For pegasus and earth ponies there are government programs that can put the unemployed to work if they can’t find anything. There are plenty for unicorns too, just not in Ponyville. There’s disability, but no, there is no unemployment or food stamps.

4) Sorry. One or the other.

5) That doesn’t seem possible, given the absurd narration.

6) … Uh… Sh-Shocked? Yeah… Pretty shocked… I always sort of pictured them more like siblings or friends.

7) No. In fact, that sounds like the opposite of a worry.

1) This may come as a surprise, but sometimes the meaning society gives to language changes depending on who’s speaking it.

2) Would a racial slur by any other name be as offensive?

3) He~re I go!

Get out of the kitchen! I’m cooking dinner!

… A~nd I’m back!

4) Exit and uninstall.

5) Land sakes! Look at all these drugs I have! Sure do wish I could deal them! If only I had some trustworthy customers!

6) If I was, do you think you’d ever find out?

7) You mean, live?! Uh… Maybe the bassline?

8) As long as you don’t draw me doing anything… compromising.

Dear tanya, I’ve always hated your funny charm. It’s disturbing. -Love, Your Homeroom Teacher

Dear jo, I’ve always adored your moe. Please! My body is ready! ♥ -Love, jo’s Biggest Fan


I SEE

Dear Zack, I’ve always envied your strong voice. Please! My body is ready! ♥ -Love, Senpai

OH JEEZ SEMPAI MORE THEN NOTICED

Dear dumbstruckC, I’ve always disliked your funny style. It makes me feel better about myself. Thanks. -Love, Senpai

Dear grey, I’ve always been watching you. Please! My body is ready! ♥ -Love, grey

Did I really just send myself a love letter? Either I am progressing nicely in my campaign for better self-worth and body acceptance or I am kind of dumb? Orrrrrrrrrr I have an admirer who also goes by grey and loves it as much as I do and that would be amazing! :D

If I try my real name:

Dear savanna, I’ve always envied your dainty wit. It makes me feel better about myself. Thanks. -Love, Mom

Um? I guess it’s true my mom is not very witty…

Dear Lyra, I’ve always tried to ignore your repulsive face. I think I…really really dislike you. -Love, Anonymous

Good game, Anon.

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?
