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!

Ha ha! Thanks!

Ha ha! Thanks!

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.

4) Three times is too much.

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!

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?

7) That’d be a trick.

Also.

Holy moley! I-I knew you followed me but I didn’t know you actually looked at anything I posted!

Lookin’ good, Twilight. Lookin’ real good.

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.

I see you!
Weird little game you humans made.
You can add me as your friend! I’m AskLyra!

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?

5) Somepony missed a step.

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.

Oh Noes!
Mr. Cake run out of here as fast as you can!
Thanks for all the fan mail you send me! Almost all of the ones I get are from you.

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.

Considering I’m on a phat roll with arting lately, here’s a doodle of G0ldstringer I’ve done while I was traveling, will probably make two versions out of this sketch. One as portrait which will serve as fanart to asklyra, and another simpler one which will be animated for Sugarcube Chronicles.

Can’t wait to kick off the first intermission.

I was just reminded about this! Sorry I forgot. This was the real first time I ever saw my character’s design! Somehow I never reblogged it before now. Thanks!

These two posts are the first time I ever got to see how my character was designed for the project!

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.
