Cutie marks are usually seen in a negative view by non-pony cultures. Not in a “Kill the pony because there’s a magical tattoo on them” type of negative, but more of a “Haha, they have to find out what their career choice is through a butt mark.”
1) I’ll try and keep that in mind.
2) Oh hey, it’s that guy that isn’t funny.
No, can’t say I do.
3) ‘Cause the world is black and white, right? It’s just one extreme or the other, right?
4) Look, brony, I’m sorry. I didn’t know what you were talking about so I stuck it into google and what I came up with wasn’t exactly foal-friendly. I didn’t think it out of the ordinary considering how often that happens with the asks I get. Truth be told, I’ve never seen any Macross series. I’ve only ever seen Robotech, and even then only like the first ten-fifteen episodes. I liked it, but I couldn’t find them anywhere.
Considering how much you’re blowing this out of proportion, I still think this was all a setup. But if it wasn’t, I’m sorry.
5) … To be honest a twelfth sounds a little generous.
I don’t really know what to tell you, Boscov. The only ponies that would know more about me than you were ones that were around me when I was little. And that’s pretty much just Princess Celestia.
6) Totes gotta be the bed, Tote! Beds are the best furniture!
7) I figured it was a biological question, though I suppose he may have meant that too.
1) Sounds good to me. You let me borrow your Sam’s Club card and pay for my arcade games and I’ll give you my tickets all times/every times.
2) Bon-Bon? Dark and mysterious?
And what do you mean fresh?
3) Is it me or is rap music just getting Family Guy reference.
Lot of lines I only barely remember flooding my memories of the game. Had to look this up again. One day, I’m gonna find a way to play this myself. I must.
4) Because I’m obsessed with humans and hands, right?
And it never gets old, does it?
5) I don’t think it would matter, would it? Not like he’d jump dimensions to deliver presents to-… Did you say Santa Christ?
6) I’m just saying, you know, you could probably think of something better.
7) You know, that’s a good question.
I have no idea what the answer is, but a good question none-the-less! Great job!
8) Okay.
9) Sorry, we can’t talk about this anymore.
10) You heard Anon #7 (Question 8). Pack it up; argument’s over.
Hmm… Does Saturday sound good?
1) Fight fascists with humor or defender of our constitutional right to deprive poor people? That’s all I got from Google. Yahoof couldn’t find anything.
2) I’ll let you know if you suddenly become funny, and…
3) I’ll let you know if you suddenly become funny.
4) Hit Anon?! Oh praise Celestia! A rational anonymous! What’s that? A date related to an unsolved murder case of unmatched notoriety in the human world? I’ll take it.
5) No, I think they use helium. I’ve never been on one; very expensive.
6) That’s not even the argument!
7) You’re right, my mistake. When you finally get to safety after being attacked by a single lion, you’re safe.
Not getting the point? How about my human friend Ron helps you get this one (Language Warning if you listen for too long)?
8) I’ll be honest, brony, I don’t think that exists as a “joke” in human Earth either.
9) Saturday, Friday, Thursday, tomorrow. Right now until Saturday when hopefully this obnoxious-[omitted] line of questioning will have ended. You know, whenever.
You quietly turn around, back up toward the urinal, rear up, and kick the piece of crap as hard as you can! Unfortunately, or fortunately as you would later find out, the urinal is made of a harder stone than you realized and does not shatter. Instead, an intense pain flares up from your right hoof and you fall to the floor screaming in agony and frustration. Your friends quickly enter, confused, and Twist shoves a hoof into your mouth to muffle the noise. At this point your eyes well up with tears and you start to feel pretty stupid about what you just did.
For the second time now you’ve accidentally hurt yourself, this time a little more seriously than a simple nose bleed. Your damaged hoof is going to noticeably slow you down until it heals, which probably won’t happen until after this little adventure is over. If you don’t start being more careful, you’re going to wind up killing yourself without the aid of any dangerous shadows or whatever else might be lurking about.
Once the pain subsides enough that Twist can retrieve her hoof from your mouth, you reluctantly explain what you did, to which Princess throws her hooves up and walks back out of the bathroom in apparent frustration. Twist and Amy help lift you up, walk you over to a stall, and sit you down before backing away and out of sight. They’re still in the bathroom with you, just off to the side.
You noticed something out of place when you were sat down and look down into the toilet bowl to investigate. Strange though it may be, there’s water in the bowl. You relay this information and ask somepony to flush a toilet, which they do, and in turn tell you that the toilet seems to be fully functional. They also check the faucet at the sink. While water does flow from it, it looks and smells pretty bad. There’s no way it’s drinkable. If that urinal had broken when you kicked it, you’d have been showered in foulness the likes of which no pony should ever have to live through.
Either way, this building has running water.
1) Not too often. Don’t want to get any leaves or dirt in my mane.
2) Nope.
3) I don’t know that there are any. More specifically, I don’t think there’s any Equestrian law protecting online privacy.
4) Why wouldn’t it?
8) I think Bon-Bon would do better with the lower body while I handle the torso and Bos- I mean Krastos takes the head.
9) There would likely be a problem if the website was hosted in Equestria, and the photographer could probably be prosecuted if caught. But there’s really not much we can do with a website hosted in another dimension.
10) Sounds good to me! What day did you have in mind?
11) Like I didn’t see this coming.
I reserve the right to censer for both language and the content that language implies. This is also known as “It’s my page; it’s my decision.”
12) Oh… I Uh… I got nothin’. If there really is, you’ve called my bluff.
13) Certainly!
Answers to 5, 6, and 7 are after the break.
1) Sort of. Mostly just walks around town or a park. Sucks not having any money.
2) I don’t. I found them on the ponynet while trying to find a reaction image for “pony i can’t handle these feels,” which lead me to try “pony nom nom nom”. The real question is why this page exists.
3) Which is interesting, because I’ve never actually done that before. Funny name, though! Didn’t know it had one.
4) I couldn’t read everything on the picture you sent because it was too small, but I got the general idea from that and the video you linked. Considering he evidently must have psychic reflexes, probably not, no.
5) Thanks for the offer! That was really cool! I probably won’t be going, though. I’d rather just hang out with my boyfriend when he isn’t working, trot around Ponyville, keep looking for a steady job. You know. But thanks for thinking of me, alternate me!
6) Are there land and sea equivalents of the Blue Angels in your world?
7) Oh give me a break. You were incarcerated for a month. This isn’t Shawshank and you aren’t Brooks.
8)
9) I got Majestic-12 out of that anyway.
1) I’m not a fan of police forces myself, even if they are necessary.
2) I wouldn’t think so. Am I offending anypony with my uneducated opinions?
3) I don’t know what the [goldmarker] you’re talking about.
4) Clearly I’m the mature type of pony that plans on running for political office later in life, so your ability to twist my words against me is all very relevant.
5) I chose time over a waste of it, since it doesn’t matter why. Or at least that was the initial idea before everypony and their grandmother’s kitchen sink decided they’d try and change my opinion.
6) Pay them no mind.
lyra really wanted ;^;
This is clearly the Lyra all of you were looking for when you started following me.
1) Uh… Sure. Why not? Not like I have to use it. I mean, I only used the Typhoon in Pony Revolution a hoofful of times.
2) Taste the wind one last time, bird spirit.
3) And an uneducated brain works different than an educated brain, until it’s educated. That’s no excuse.
4) The video/song seems completely desperate from the message you delivered.
5) Thanks. And sorry.
6) I never had any; I wouldn’t know.
7) I could get earrings of a bear and a jar of glue. That would be identifiable enough. But I don’t really like earrings.
8) [Audible sigh] I’ve defended the whole lack of good and evil/right and wrong thing more than a few times. I’ve even directly defended the changling queen before, though I can’t find the post. Maybe this whole argument is a little hypocritical of me…
9) And maybe this guy’s just getting on my [omitted] nerves.
I might not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I studied a bit of law. So don’t try and play semantics on me. To argue that a mindset can be understandable, is to justify it. Whether or not you morally enforce that justification is irrelevant, because I don’t want to hear it. I don’t care why they attacked, which I’ve already said a number of times. The only thing that matters to me is that they did. There’s nothing more to talk about on matter, not that there ever was anything to talk about.
1) I’m still just seeing mild annoyance. For that matter, a more specific mild annoyance than before.
2) It’s the mane.
3) My point was that you never should have brought it up to begin with. My point was that the presence of a motive justifies nothing. Everything has a motive for everything it’s ever done, ever!
And because I don’t accept your lame excuse for a hoofshake with open arms after you spit on my face I’m the bad pony? I’ll tell you this much, you’re a credit to your shapeshifting brethren.
4) I’ll say changings are okay when I’m given a reason to. Compassion, instead of some punk who called me simple-minded trying to force a justification on me for attempted genocide.
Humans are a different issue.
5) A quick Yahoof search reveals quite a few things linked to that moniker. Might want to choose something different.
1) I… I look, alright. I look really hard. Some kind of… Explanation, a form of balance, a rational reason. But I can’t find it, or I haven’t yet. Humans have come so far without magic, without individualized flight, but all I can come up with is unpredictable luck. Nothing more. Your advancement isn’t based upon a group’s collective persistence over centuries so much as just one or two people working out of desperation and getting lucky. And if those people failed, it just sits until the next person possibly gets lucky. That’s… That’s not even a community. That’s just a bunch of ponies walking in different directions until one of them either finds something or gives up.
If there’s an explanation- if there is some kind of reason… It’s the hand. It can’t be anything else. It just has to be. The question is, why?
2) You’re welcome to come over, but I think I’m having dinner with Boscov again. I’m not sure. He said something about getting me some fresh kiwi, but I’m not sure when.
3) You’ve misunderstood a lot of things. We don’t have just one religion. We have just as little understanding of how we were created as humans do and there’s countless conflicting theories. We just don’t take it as a reason to fight.
Princesses Celestia and Luna are gods, but they didn’t create us. When some of us say gods, we aren’t talking about deities. It’s based upon an old measure of an entities strength; specifically their potential to threaten a society. The sisters are gods because they possess that much magical ability. Discord is a god because he can alter reality on a whim. Princess Cadance is just a measure below a god because, while she can manipulate the thoughts of others, she can only do so in one specific way.
But the oldest records of history talk about a time long before Equestria or any kingdoms where ponies fought for survival in an untamed land, just like any other beast. Any predator large enough saw us as pray. But over time, culminating in Equestria’s formation, we learned that if we prepare we don’t always have to fight. Amongst each other, we never have to. There will always be conflict, but that’s why we organize, plan, make efficient use of the soil and weather. And if humans weren’t so busy making bombs powerful enough to wipe out a city, maybe they could formulate a means to control weather too.
1) Do I have to have any? Keeps ponies safe, but I don’t really think about it much.
2) A job with regular hours and regular pay.
3) I think it might have more to do with a ugly little word called “torture.”
4) You remind me of one of those ponies that go around posting horrible, terrible things, and then follow it with a smiley face. Like that somehow negates what was said.
Ideas have weight, they’re not just forgotten. But you do whatever you want. I’ll be right here.
5) Well, I’ve never had a kiwi straight before.
6) If what you say is true, it sounds like a nice place. Admittedly, I’ve only really heard about major human countries. Can you tell me more?
7) Not really. Just catching up on a bunch of backlogged questions. Got three more as I was writing these!
8) Better than being killed by a dragon or something.
9) “Well, I know,” what exactly?
10) Your “evil” sounds more like “mildly annoying.”
11) That they’re so willing to advance themselves just a little further, that they’d crush the advancement of thousands in order to do it.
12) In many situations, yes. Both for protection and contraceptive applications.
1) Sure you did.
2) Give a try? Neither. Those are not savory things.
3) Sure you did.
4) You got us. We just build castles out of chairs, sheets, comforters and pillows.
Also, you said biologically compatible, but…
5) I don’t know everything about humans, but I know enough.
If you look at an Equestrian History book, it’s got all kinds of stuff. Taming the land, farming techniques across the decades, the progression of magic, progression of weather control, foreign trade, development of our nation’s security, and yes, sometimes the defense of our nation.
You sit down with any given human history book, of any given nation, and it’s just war after war after war. As a species- no. As a society humans aren’t content unless they’re killing and stealing from each other. And there’s nothing efficient about that.
They will never have peace, because deep down they don’t want it. Humans don’t belong in Equestria, and if you think their way of life is anyway to live, then you don’t belong here either.
You started this conversation under the notion that you were different than the changlings that attacked us, and you just keep saying it. But you’ve given me no reason to believe you were ever sincere about that.
1) And… And when you say right path, do you mean… wholesome things? ‘Cause if so, I’m not really seeing the evil part. I mean, I’d never join; that cyborg bugpony sounds unsafe to work around. I’m just curious.
2) Aw phooey.
3) What a very human way to think.
4) I LY-ED!
5) Iunno. Is that their legal names or just what they go by?
6) You mean Neightendo? Granted Sony just goes by Sony, but they did change their system to PlayStable. Anyway, I don’t know. Probably not.
