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.
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!

1) Darn. Now I feel even stupider.
2) We don’t use the same calender year as humans.
Regarding the idea itself, it doesn’t really matter. Now, it’s foolish to live every day of your life like it’s your last, because it will cost you in the future if you do live. It’s more important that you be content with life at any given point. Live for tomorrow, and if it never comes, you won’t miss it.
3) Not too much.
… A little. If my past ever catches up to me-… I don’t want him to get hurt. There are a lot of unaccounted for ponies and griffons that have every reason to be none too pleased with me. Maybe they’re still after me; maybe they moved on. I’ve no way of knowing.
4) You saw what I saw. He never mentioned it before, that I can remember. Probably because it took place before he was born.
5) Celebrating Thanksgiving, as far as any humans know.
6) Must have missed the reference. I watched a few of them and they were pretty funny! Just not one to sit down and watch something for a long, uninterrupted period of time. Plus I haven’t seen one in forever.
7) I… Don’t care?
… Yeah. Pretty sure I don’t care.
Yep! That’s right!
For the new revamp that’s going to be happening in just a few days, I’m going to need an art style that I can stick with and I need YOU to help me figure it out!
The ask box will be opened in just a few moments, and all I need you all to do is to send me either “A” or “B”, and on the day the new season starts, I will make a picture with the chosen style officially reopening this blog.
Happy voting all!
This is an important, hard-hitting issue! Vote today!

1) No thanks. You can take them back.
2)
3) Nothing? Work together to escape? All buffalo have horns.
4) What do you think?
5) Good all around! We’re all just a lot busier right now. Sorry for the short answer. Might be better to ask about each one separately.
6) Well, yeah. If it’s true that exposure to magic makes food taste bad, unicorns probably taste awful.
Also from that post, I think I just finally realized what that anon meant when they called me the Puma Mare, and I feel really, really stupid for not getting it.
7) A year ago I’d have been appalled that somepony sent a message like this to a page intended for audiences of all ages. At this point I’m just disappointed you lacked the articulation to formulate an appropriate cause and effect scenario.
1) I did. I’m sorry, Strawberry. All things must come to an end. All in all, it had a pretty dang good run.
2) Since I’ve never seen the movie, yeah go ahead.
3) Long story/series of events short, I hadn’t heard this song in years.
Thanks.
4) Taller? Right. We throw our shoes to make us feel taller too.
5) I enjoy a good question.
6) I feel such a label implies that there’s any choice in the matter. Either you live through it or you die. It’s not something you can just walk away from.
7) Not entirely. Either it strikes the frog and still hurts, or you hit the hoof wall and possibly lose your balance and twist your ankle. Really, it wouldn’t hurt any more for a human that walks around without shoes on all the time.
Derpy: This.. is… weird.
1) What’s a Mexican?
I’m just playin’. I prefer if it’s not too spicy.
2) How did pumps become a thing in your world?
Shoes on the other hoof now, isn’t it?
3) Nope. Still a lyre.
4) Plot is to backstory as plot is to butt?
5) And that’s why we’re better off not being able to understand the common, household dog.
6) If you say so.
7) Sorry.
8) …
Nod off at 1:50.
Wake up at 1:10.
Feel like a Time Traveler.
1) …?
2) There’s good ones and bad ones.
3) Does asking repeated questions create any problems in your life?
4) I worked the day of, but in the evening I did the Haunted House dance.
5) All else fails? Don’t know what to ask? Try racism!
6) Now… Is that the Princess? I mean, who is the Pun Master? That could either be sinister or benevolent.
7) Just the standbys. I’d say “I’ll let you know,” but that’d be a lie.
1) I’d play the same kinda ones on the harp that I play on the lyre-
or could play it.
2) I preferred Professor Brothers, but yes (Warning: Extreme Language).
3) Thanks! And thanks for playing along! Though I don’t think there were any animated mannequins. Good thing nopony felt the need to see one before we all ran out.
What did you do while you were alone anyway? I took an entire group through again before you turned back up. Where were you?
4) How about you translate the question into something I can read?
5) She just likes doing voices.
6) I know. I wasn’t home, but Bon-Bon told me in detail. Not that she stepped on it, because nopony freaking falls for that. But the smell of burning poop isn’t appealing.
7) Since we were talking about Brad Neely- In the words of Steve Smith “I’m telling you right now… I am gonna [omitted] this up.”
1) Well, technically. I did warn Krastos about those eyes in the bathroom. Fortunately, it was mostly shock and they managed to get to the toilet with little incident.
Since it’s over, I’d also like to thank Tootsie for being our occasional chasing-everypony-back-outside tortured soul! The best parts of a Haunted House are the ones that aren’t consistent so there’s always that surprise factor.
2) No-
3) I’ll give you the entire pepper shaker to gobble down like a goat on acid.
4) Well, I either humor them or this tumblr sits and stagnates.
Can’t imagine what I’d do with the time…
5) Oh for Celestia’s sake, how exactly is he supposed to catch rabies?
6) Reaction of everypony who knows me after hearing that accusation without evidence.
