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.

2) Can’t say I have.

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!

1) Don’t project yourself onto me.

2) Equestria. Ah-quest-tree-ah.

3) Huh. I wasn’t aware the Griffon Kingdom was an actual, you know, monarchy. I thought it was just an autocracy. Alternate dimension or maybe I was just misinformed.

Be nice, be considerate of pony customs, and have patience. Patience and courtesy will win over individuals and unless you’re running for office, that’s all you ever really need.

4) Can’t even remember the date of something that happened this year… I’d say it’s a wonder I can remember my own birthday, but well…

5) Alright, there’s a button on the top left corner of my tumblr page, if you’re really so invested.

6) Will do, though I think she got the message earlier.

1) No offense, but that is seriously as bad of an intro as Regular Show. Nothing happens! I like the chord progression, though. Could use some more bass.

2) Absolutely! I haven’t sat down and listened to all of the tracks they’ve done, but my favorite’s still Light Up The Night. In fact, that’s one of my favorite songs!

In particular, I like the ambiguity of the lyrics. Makes it much more legitimate than somepony singing about Mario fighting Bowser.

3) Who thought you were dead? I didn’t even know you existed. And what about “our” mom? Is Green Angel supposed to be my real name? Are you Racer X?

4) But why is that?

5) How about a roast?

6) I’d believe it. But if she did manipulate events, she did it for a reason. She always does.

1) Well that’s good!

2) Uh… Nothing? It’s twice as big as I am. I doubt I could even lift it with my mouth.

3) No, which I’ve answered before.

4) You have a good night yourself!

5) I’ll let you know if that ever works.

6) Gato…?

7) Added to the grocery list, thanks!

8) Well aren’t you clever…?

If I said “yes,” would you be satisfied with that answer?

Bonus: Submission that was too long for me to post regularly, considering how far behind I already am!

1) I prefer digital over analog.

Did I do that joke already?

2) Well, that was quite some time ago. I was sad when it happened; I think everypony was. It does happen, though. I miss that gif of Applebloom saying “Scootaloo~!”

3) I’m sorry. I’m not sure what that date is for. Dates are one of the big reasons I’m bad at history.

4) Oh no. Not this time.

5) I don’t drink coffee regularly. And I like my males lively, interesting, and independent. By the way, and you’ve probably realized this by now, but that joke doesn’t work very well for ponies.

6) Are you going to help me pay for them?

Then does it concern you?

Didn’t think so.

7) Not offensive, no. Just kinda silly. And that cat looks like it wants to kill ponies that weren’t even involved in it’s current situation.

1) I agree. I just don’t know what.

2) Better than being imaginary.

3) Well, this prick sent me a message and called me a butt [omitted]. So, there’s that.

Edit: Also, I have work for the next six weeks. Woot!

4) History isn’t really my thing. Sorry.

5) What is with tumblr and butts?

6) At the time I received this ask, nothing. I had absolutely nothing to play and I was going a little crazy. I don’t play video games all the time, but I like to have something to fall back on. As of now, I’m getting ready to start Front Mission 2 tonight and then I’ll play Front Mission 5 after that. Then I might play 3 and 4 again. Depends how good 5 is.

7) I run a tumblr. What do you think?

Although it does make you wonder; what could possibly come after this?

Edit 2: Also also, I’m behind on asks. Might take a while from the time I get the message to when I can reply.

1) Funny mare.

2) Reminded me of that You’re a Meshi YTP. Not gonna post a link (adult), but I watched it again. Quality doesn’t really hold up, unfortunately.

3) Something related to tattooing could be a cutie mark, I guess. Something like an inked needle maybe?

4) You’re gonna have to explain that one.

5) Bouncy mane.

6) No. I hate them because they keep drawing me wearing pants.

1) Er… Uh… The… owing kind. Clearly.

2) That sounds lovely! It’s always nice to visit friends!

3) Keratin, evidently. I was never very good at biology, but unless I’ve missed my mark, the closest approximation to unicorn horns would be rhinoceros horns. Don’t hold me to that.

4) I tend to not respond, but concepts like this are why I rarely get too close to anypony.

5) I’ve seen a few posts from it reblogged here and there from other tumblrs. Seems alright.

6) Fear? I mean, I do avoid it. I’m sorry it happens when it does, particularly to my friends. But fear? Zero.

7) Everything judges everything else on everything about everything. It’s not a matter of whether or not somepony is racist; it’s to what extent. And even that can’t be accurately measured.

8) Just the kinda stuff you think about when you’re lying awake in the dark for the umpteenth hour in a row. Beats worrying about what might be out there, anyway.

1) Don’t be silly. Ladders just don’t exist for Unicorns and Pegasus.

2) That’s my beau.

3) Do I look like I’ve ever gotten a makeover?

4) Can I just ask what the [omitted] is wrong with you? For real. No excuses for that [omitted].

5) I’d prefer not to get involved.

6) Things are certainly capable of getting better. Absolutely. I don’t believe overt bigotry is the real issue, though (which I mentioned here). The option to choose one over another is where it all starts, but you can’t eliminate that without eliminating free will. I’m not sure what the answer is, though. Every method I’ve ever heard of has been tried for hundreds of years with little advancement. From where I sit, that’s not an issue with the society but with the avenues of change.

1) Does she even want Pokemon B&W2? I don’t think I’ve heard her mention it.

2) That sounds lovely. Where are you right now?

3) And I’m just saying, I have no ability to make that happen. You’re preaching to the choir, which is sort of without purpose.

4) This was the post that I initially heard about it from. Don’t really have anything to say about it. Don’t really care enough to be honest.

5)

6) Can my goals be ethereal and not truly formed? I mean, right now I’m just trying to get rid of some debt and play some bills.

Edit: Source I put isn’t showing up on my dashboard. So, here it is.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: 1) No, John, you are the demons. And then John…
ahahaha the John you are the demons thing again

1)

2) And it never gets old.

3) You’re absolutely right. Let me just clap my hooves together and change a law I had no hoof in creating.

4) Or, and just follow me on this one, I keep it the same. Sounds crazy, right? I think I’m gonna try it, though. The keeping-it-the-same-thing, that is.

5) Psychological damage is still damage. It’s not just physical. It’s the way you think, talk, knee jerk reactions, favoritism. Things that are more subtle- that can’t be managed by law enforcement without some type of illicit thought control. And that would eliminate free will.

6) It wouldn’t matter if it did or not. Even if two ponies were identical in every capacity they’d find something.

7) I see! Is this a particular holiday for you or just a vacation?

8) Yeah. Sometimes I worry about doing the same references over and over again, but I only know so many that humans would get.

1) No, Hulk! No! I was making fun of the question! It was about some wrestler that was before my time and I was redirecting it. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. You’re my favorite impossibly muscular super hero. Honest.

2) I know it’s a problem, I just hoped it wasn’t serious. It’ll never be gone. So long as two anythings stand on the same plane they’ll find something to hate about each other. Because what is the right answer? If two ponies have a race and one can fly, is that fair? If you prohibit flight to something that’s used to flying, is that fair?

I know it’s real, I guess I just wanted it to not be serious.

3) Pretty you say?

Well, hello there! How are you? Besides the aforementioned mighty fine, that is.

4) Uh huh.

5) Even modest levitation offers a pretty good grip.

6) Why would I, especially now?

7) I’m sorry. Don’t you live in a bakery? Maybe I’m assuming too much.

1) Sounds like a pokemon.

2) I always preferred The Infraggable Krunk.

3) “… We’re not fighting for ourselves. Today, not even for the alliance. The ocean is at our backs … If we falter, our families will have nowhere left to run … For their sake, that must not come to pass.” - Commander Hurricane

4) What’s a bootstrap?

5) Manageable stressers build coping mechanisms. Sheer terror leaves behind a shell of the former self.

6) I’m dandy! Thanks for asking!

7) I don’t know. I never used to think it was a serious problem. But at the same rate, I worry about Krastos.

8) I had an argument about the whole .3 repeating x 3 equaling 1 thing once. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side. Must have looked pretty foalish.
