1) I have no problem with individuals, regardless of what they are. I was friends with Gilda before she disappeared again.
2) Like for what?
3) That seems rather… Uneventful.
Or do you mean to say that it was the first time ever in your world, and that it just so happened to have been in Canada?
4) Whatever coastal town is first hit would be toast, but it wouldn’t make it to Canterlot.
5) Doesn’t gay cover lesbian as well?
Either way, that would be Bon-Bon.
6) Not to contradict your own name, but shouldn’t that “O” be an “A”?
7) I’m very sassy. Give me some candy corn.
8) Does that mean if I just punched you in the face we’d both win?

1) Well, last time I got a message like this, a week or two later Discord was freed. So… Getting one of those feelings right now, to be honest.
2) No.
I’m sure you weren’t prepared for that answer so I’ll give you a moment to cope.
3) Okay, now I’m sure this is just spam.
4) I can give you some leftovers, but I don’t have any bits to spare.
5) “Boms” turn old world into… Oh my. I’m so… Or… I don’t suppose you’d know the difference, would you?
6) I’d probably just get really sick. I’ve used them since before I ever hit puberty. Never been off of them.
7) I haven’t read any of it, and I probably wouldn’t fair well. As a filly, my primary method of survival was stealing things from ponies who wouldn’t try to kill me if they happened to catch me.

1) Hmm… Well, I was never beat up over humans. Not sure Rarity and I would ever have crossed paths as fillies even if we lived in the same place.
I don’t really see it as possible myself, but there are tons of Lyras. I’m sure it would make more sense with one of them.
2) If that stands for Men’s Rights Activists, and assuming you mean to ask if there would be woman activists, then the short answer is no. It would still be MRA in Equestria. Man and woman are human designations. We’re mares and stallions.
There will always be those who feel unequal and have the desire to fight for more.
3) Oh, once Boscov told me I wasn’t the least surprised. Community projects are just like him!
I can tell you there will be some cool ambianic music (not all of that will be used, nor will that be all that is used).
Why not ask him about it, though? I’m just helping. If there’s cats to be let out of the bag. it’s his bag.
4) The duck. I’m pretty good in a one-on-one fight. But I can’t defend myself from a whole horde.
5) Uh… What? B, if this is you it seems kinda… I mean why would you send a submission like this?
Not putting my password into that.
6) Life is what you make of it. I’m sorry you feel that way, Señor.
By the by, are you a forced meme?

1) Again, I wouldn’t have if not for my computer friend having drilled the information into my head against my will. It’s not that you can’t tell her to shut up, it’s just that she won’t listen.
What I did see of it looked fantastic, though.
3) What about all this moxie?
4) Working on one. As I mentioned a couple of months ago, my graphics card broke and I wasn’t able to do much of anything, let alone record. It’s fixed now, but I’ve been really busy working. Still trying to get something out for Nightmare Night, though.
5) Oh really?
6) This ending theme is more “manly” than that.
7) This should help a little. Things seem to fluctuate, though, so even I’m not always certain. I mean, I’m almost positive that at one point my Twilight ran a tumblr about a human pretending to be a pony.

1) York! Hi! It’s good to hear from you! You should definitely come! It’d be nice to see you again!
2) Kinda weak. And loud.
3) Happy Bom Day! Sorry I’m a day or two late. Great song!
What’s Bom Day?
4) I’m working on a piece. I haven’t had a lot of free time since my computer got fixed, so I’m not sure if it’ll get done in time. Little behind schedule, but it’s coming out alright so far!
5) I just use it to talk to ponies.
6) Let’s see. It’s been a while but that would be five frags without getting killed yourself, right? I’ve done that a few times in various FPS games.
7) I have no reason to believe that I would survive whatever could cause something like that.

1) I do not.
2) Usually things like trees away from society. I don’t want to hurt anypony or damage somepony’s property.
3) If your world is the real world then you’re welcome to call it the real world.
I live in the real world so I call it the real world.
4) I found a nice, inconspicuous corner to cower in.
5) In case you’re incredibly slow on the uptake, I don’t answer asks sent in foreign languages because I don’t trust translation programs to tell me what they say properly.
But I do check to see if there’s swearing.
6) Not that I know of. I suppose it’s possible, but she’s never mentioned it.
7) Some lazy kid hated the animals he grew up with because they were never properly trained, ate food, and processed food into poop, which was then not properly cleaned up. If that’s what you’re talking about, then that is what the article seemed to be describing. Only with more swears.
8) Quite a few swears. Just seems like a kid trying to have some fun, though. Nothing out of the ordinary.

1) I don’t suppose I’ve expressed lately the extent with which I hate dubstep.
The visuals are pretty good, when they aren’t reused or looped for too long.
2) I don’t take it to protect against pregnancy. I can’t become pregnant anyway. I use it to help balance hormones.
4) You mean the group of nuts against the domestication of animals? That would rather see a species go extinct than be kept in captivity? No thank you. I don’t think Sweetie would appreciate our dog being euthanized because he isn’t a wild animal.
5) Is that what this was all leading up to? I must have read something wrong.
6) Actually, when the Arabian Nights cut was released for home video, it was called The Thief and the Cobbler. So there was an official release under that name. My computer friend (so dubbed because she fixes my computer from time to time) talked my ears off about the whole project, including the Recobbled Version, a few years ago. But I never saw more than a scene or two. Is that what you’re talking about?
7) Absolutely! And the banner of which you speak was made by my friend Fuselight!

1) Not yet. Still working on it. I’ll let you know.
2) Hey hey hey, that’s the worst Fat Albert impersonation I’ve ever heard!
3) Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to share that.
4) Well, no. Didn’t start taking them quite that early.
5) Because this is just a website and anon magic is just a few messages sent to me on this website. That’s not how magic works.
6) Okay? Warning: severe swear.

1) Well, yes. The real world does tend to be real.
2) Every now and again, certainly!
3) Stupid, huh? Charming.
Maybe I don’t want to follow around some windbag as she spouts existential jargon. Maybe I wanted to play at the concert level. But you know how good you have to be to do that professionally? You think I’m the only one with a special talent for playing the lyre? Special talents aren’t all created equal. You know how infrequently lyres are used in contemporary performances? The few spots available are taken by ponies that are just better than I am.
4) I don’t want to leave Equestria. As for where ponies came to Equestria from, historically those willing to put aside their differences followed our ancestors here. Those that couldn’t let go of their hate, stayed behind and perished.
I don’t really want to talk about marriage anymore…
5) I go by Lyra but my legal name, the stuff I fill out on official papers, is Liora, surname: not available. I could tell Jane McRandom that my surname is Freechmen if I felt like it, but it wouldn’t make it true.
6) I direct you here. Here. Here. And initial here.

Well, I mean yeah. Sure. It just seemed to… I guess, strike a chord with me. Pun intended.
I mean, have you ever came across a name or a word and thought, “Wow! That sounds great! It’s spelled great too! So eloquent! So beautiful! I really like that word! I want to use that word! I want to use that word whenever I can! I want to create situations just so I can use that word!”
Like Albert, or specifically to me, Lyra. Aren’t those just awesome names? Or sortie. Liberate. Qualm. Exodus.
Vega is just an awesome name. Know what I mean?

1) I wouldn’t go that far. I- No! Wait wait wait!
I’d say that argument… doesn’t hold water!
2) What’s that? Little Timmy is trapped in a well?
3) Well, yes and no. The Princess has sworn up and down that she isn’t divine, but some write that off as a cover. There is no widely accepted religion for it, but there are collections of ponies that believe she and Princess Luna are both literal gods. I addressed the difference in part once before.
4) You don’t say? What else did you read in the tabloids?
5) Been asked before. Liking cake is just not something most expect royalty to do. Nothing more; nothing less.
You know what? How in Tartarus did Sweetie and her friends get a picture of the Princess in Canterlot from all the way in Ponyville?
6) I like it, but I don’t have to listen to it played over and over again on the radio. Because I don’t listen to the radio.
Kinda funny you mention it. Considering the dance, bronies must love that song.
7) Well, I probably would have been something like that, but I’m supposed to be dressed up to help in Krastos’ Haunted House and he wanted it to be mythologically themed.

1 & 2) These being one after the other was pretty funny.
3) Well, I have a theory that attempts to explain that. But I don’t want to sound crazy.
er.
4) No.
5) Good thing this wasn’t a test on your reaction time. When’d I say that, a year ago?
6) Not in particular. When I’m not at work, I’m working on a musical piece for Nightmare Night and playing Front Mission 2. On top of everything else, that is.
7) I have no idea what to say here.

1) 990. Hovered around there for a while. It’s been as high as 992 and dropped as low as 975, I believe it was. Went up a little today.
2) Having worked with a high school student while subbing that had schizophrenia, yes, I’m positive.
3) It’s important to be challenged in order to learn when to rise and when to let things go. But the moment it gets physical or extremes into character assassination, there is no lesson to be learned. Detached ponynet trolling tends to be a safer avenue for all involved. Unless it crosses the line into harassment. I draw a clear line between learning to let things slide off you and harassment/assault.
Not the most popular answer, I’m sure, but I grew up different. Everypony got mocked and belittled, and everypony mocked and belittled others.
4) I swear to Celestia, this is like the third time.
5) Luna have mercy, we got a clever mutha [omitted] over here.
6) It’s not nice to make baseless accusations of mental imbalance.
7) I think whoever started this match capped the tech tree too low for high-end genetic engineering.

Hmm I don’t remember saying anything bad but I also can’t remember what the redacted word was, haha. In other news, your government sounds scarily like ours.
1) That’s nice, dear. Now go play.
2) You’re absolutely right. Let me go use my lyre playing talent to go advance irrigation technology.
3) If I get into a fight with a dragon, I’m gonna lose. I can at least try to fight it; I might even get lucky and escape. But you can’t win against aging. Ever.
4) Well would you look at that.
5) I’d be devastated. If he ever did, I’d rather never find out.
6) No, because being a prick is subjective. The concept of evil is supposed to be cosmically defined.
7) I don’t recall getting “a very nice ask” in quite some time.
8) For the most part, it works fine for us. Massive societies work best when governed on individual district levels. The only reason there’s any issue is because changing laws regarding non-pony marriage falls under immigration/integration, which in a nation with open borders can only be regulated at the national level. And a law regarding name changing is a matter of security, which is also a national concern. We don’t have things like facial recognition software, so names are important for identification.
Changing either law, with proper process, wouldn’t cause any problems. It’s just that the kind of laws they are require national legislation. And that means the ponies with the money/influence can toss their weight around to sway others away from change that may have unforeseen side-effects.

Keep Gaming, Baby! (or perhaps [redacted] since I don’t really like calling grown mares baby) Krastos “Gluemaker” Bear?
1) This is why you really need to explain exactly what you mean in the ask you send. I do these in the order I get them and there are nineteen waiting after this set of eight.
2) I’ll keep your concerns in mind.
3) REGURGITATION, ASSOCIATION, OR MISDIRECTION OF PONYNET REFERENCE GOES HERE.
4) While she does have that power, Princess Celestia is wise enough to not wantonly indulge everypony’s fancy. She only acts directly upon matters of grave importance and otherwise lets us govern ourselves. On the other hoof, the average pony just doesn’t care and the upper-crust actively oppose anything that doesn’t benefit themselves.
6) Familiar with the name. Never read it.
7) The old mare’s tale? It was an all-consuming creature of toxic corruption. Even if it is real, why would you take the risk worshiping it?
8) “Gluemaker” Bear! Of course! I knew there had to be a way to fit him in there! I got hung up on his last name, Arctos.
