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.
1) Possibly. Smooth Criminal might have had a similar affect.
2) Kids Gone Bad? Kick Gum Back? Kiss Green Bats?
3) I have no idea. Not something I make a calculated effort to discover.
4) Wasn’t that the thing I wasn’t supposed to answer for some reason? I can’t remember.
5) We are young. Heartache to heartache we stand.
… Shoot, already used that one.
6) Vega…?
…
Vega…
7) Oh. It’s an old post that I only just tagged, but my meta powers weren’t always around. They aren’t going to know anything from a time before they existed.
1) Probably getting my cutie mark.
2) What? Can’t I be both?
4) Why are you yelling?
5) Lowered expectations altering perspective so that it appears that I’m succeeding.
6) That’s not really something nice so much as something neutral.
7) Why wouldn’t it be serious?
1) You’re insensitive to others. That doesn’t make you evil; it makes you a prick.
2) Why should I have to do anything? In fact, if I went out of my way to trust you, it’s a lot easier to not trust you.
3) You are mistaken.
4) I never asked to be sent more messages than I can answer in a day without spamming my follower’s dashboards. But for the sake of argument, am I sure about what?
5) No, he isn’t. Because it’s not another dimension. It’s not an alternate reality. It’s not anything. Just some human drawing pictures.
6) Where else would he carry it?
7) You can either pop a Mana Pot, down an Ether, or hit a few blues.
If we’re being serious, in dire need a unicorn can drain a magically-infused object to rapidly recuperate. It’s slightly dangerous, but no more so than most things.
1) Oh [omitted] me sideways…
2) Obviously, why wouldn’t it be literally?
3) Certainly. Everypony loves a moist bed.
4) Of course. After all, Wumbology is the study of wumbo. And everypony loves Wumboween.
5) Sorta like Foxbat style.
6) Woah. This is going a little too fast. It’s not you; it’s me.
7) Oh, you’re leaving? So soon?
8) As has been mentioned plenty of times, ponies will eat unfertilized eggs, usually in cakes.
1) You caught me. I’m not really a pony. I’m actually a pygmy elephant.
2) You know what? Yeah. I’m a virgin. I believe that wraps up your one-track line of questioning.
3) How half baked of you to say. This and the previous answer are brought to you by the National Foundation for the Advancement of- You’re Trying Too Hard.
4) I wish I made A’s back in school. Thanks though!
5) I’m not commenting on this unfounded accusation.
[video]
1) Salu~t! How are you?
2) Step 1: Enter bathroom. Step 2: Use bathroom. Step 3: Exit bathroom.
3) I don’t know; I’ve never boxed professionally. I don’t want to get my face torn up. But compared to a human I’ve got a very short reach, so I’d probably never get a single hit in on either.
4) A~nd end scene!
5) I… I mean, that’s not how it… Or… Maybe?
…
What would I ask?
6) Told you I could be scary! In your face, anon who insisted I couldn’t!
I wish I’d listened… Nothing like seeing a sick artist’s depiction of your own brutal murder.
As for you. I knew better than to click that link, but when I saw the mail address- I trusted you. You betrayed that trust. I hope you’re satisfied.
1) Pretty sure you’ve sent this before. Still don’t get it.
3) Growing old scares me.
4) Solomon?
5) Well, I do like ice cream and pizza. And it’ll just gonna go to waste once they’re stopped.
Hmm…
6) Thank you, Hit Anon! Now hurry! There are more dates to be saved!
