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.
1) Everypony’s gotta front now and again. But you gotta lot of nerve playin’ that in my hood. You’d best step off, sucka.
2) Quite a range. I don’t claim to like everything, and I know better than to say “everything but blank, blank, and blank,” but quite a range.
Before you or anypony else starts, dubstep is not among that range.
3) Wouldn’t you know it, that’s exactly what I’m saying. I don’t care if your people are going through a drought, famine, pushed off your own land, there is no excuse for it. Ever. If you have a problem, you communicate it. That includes war declarations.
I’ve been watching ponies get hurt and worse for most of my life and I’m sick of it. Ponies that never wanted to fight. What I saw that day was a military force attacking civilians. Nothing you, or anypony else says will ever, ever justify it.
And don’t even try pushing some “ponies attacked first” crap, because I have access to 200 years of military documents that say otherwise.
But hey, if you want to try and convince me, you’re welcome to it.
4) Against, personally.
5) Is a statement. What were you wanting me to say in response? I saw that you hugged another one recently.
6) I’m not that fluffy!
7) Hey kiddo!
1) I don’t think so.
2) I say a lot of things.
3) This isn’t a forum for your extremest views, human.
4) Yeah… I was afraid of that. I’m sorry there’s nothing I can do for you. Just make sure you don’t allow yourself to ever be part of a situation like that when you grow up.
5) I wonder who this was supposed to be sent to?
6) Why? You think it’s funny too?
“A bear and a pony! Oh wow! How does that even work?!”
…
You blink absentmindedly and try your hardest to think. Event after event crosses your mind, but try as you might, you have no recollection of ever using the bathroom since this adventure began.
… That’s impossible! Surely this must be some kind of oversight! A gap in your memories, something! It’s been almost a day and a half!
You casually ask your friends when the last time they’d gone was, to which they reply just before you woke up this morning. Amy goes as far as believing she accidentally woke you up when she walked past you after coming back. Princess says she thought you’d gone before they left too and asks why you’d bring this up so suddenly. After all, moments before you reminded everypony about the possible dangers in here.
Hanging your head in embarrassment, say you have to go to the bathroom. Amy relays her belief that his building may have been an old school. If so, there should be a number of bathrooms, or at the very least one set. You’re about to excuse yourself when Amy takes the lead and waves for everypony else to follow.
As the group heads to the right around the circular T-intersection, you become aware that viability is deteriorating and the humidity is raising. You take your blanket-cloak off before it gets too wet and sweaty and put it away; the others seem to have already done this. You wonder if maybe leaving the door ajar was a bad idea. If this “fog” gets much thicker, you’d never see an attacker coming.
At roughly the quarter mark of the circle, Amy waves again and points to a doorway that appears to lead a public restroom. You nod in thanks and take a few steps inside. There are urinals present, so this must have been a male bathroom. Or possibly a unisex bathroom, though you’ve never seen one of those before, outside of a Porta Potty anyway.
Of course the stalls have no doors. The only doors you’ve seen were the outside ones. What is with this place! Why are all the doors gone?! Who steals a bathroom stall door?! What good is it?! I mean, of all the insensitive, inconsiderate-!
…
It occurs to you that the extreme humidity is beginning to negatively impact your judgement, making you incredibly irritable. You’re going to have to be careful with your thoughts for now.
1) No. Because we were attacked without warning. If a group starts a war, they let the group they’re attacking know there’s a war with official documentation. There’s no excuse for a direct, unannounced attack against another nation. Civilian lives were put in danger.
But we don’t just hate; not generally. And I never said a changling wouldn’t be welcome here. But things would become complicated.
2) No thank you, but I appreciate the sentiment!
3) Fiesta Dog, if I had to pick one. But I prefer Pikachu downing a 40 on a skateboard (after the break). I know Natazilla (Sometimes NSFW) drew it, but I can’t find it on her tumblr. There’s no music or spacey background for it; it doesn’t need any.
4) No. No it is not.
You might want to visit the hospital now.
5) Well.
6) True justice will wind up getting easily saved ponies killed on ideals alone.
Thanks! Been a while since I’ve had some fan mail!
Though, to be honest, I can’t tell if you’re saying wow or abbreviating an MMO.
Well, if you want to do something for me… You can.
1) Hehe, is this a Disgaea reference?
2) I don’t know. Kermit and Puppet Pal Mitch always did right by me.
3) Front, back, side to side.
4) Yeah, alright.
5) How so?
6) Okay. I’m sure you’re familiar with my financial situation. Is there anywhere you’d like to go or anything you’d like to do that doesn’t cost anything?
1) Well, I can’t speak for everypony, but I do. Most ponies are vegetarians, not vegans.
2) Probably not. I remember stealing one of those old Tiger Electronics games from a dentist office. I gave it back.
3) Not generally, but everypony is different. Really, what it comes down to is properly preparing food and not eating too much junk. When it comes to you humans, you generally feed your pets and livestock what’s best for them. On the other hoof, you generally eat junk all the time, or at the very least food that isn’t optimal for your digestive system. Ponies are no different than humans in that regard. If we eat too much junk or an incorrect dietary balance, it can be harmful to our lifespan, even fatal.
But from the minimal research I’ve done after receiving the question, I believe the myth stems from tomatoes and potatoes being classified as nightshade, which often have poisons parts even if some of it is eatable.
4) You’re not a horrible pony for finding something funny. You can’t control what makes you laugh. And you aren’t a horrible pony for fetishising something either, so long as it’s not harming anypony.
No, you’re a horrible pony for bringing it up in general public, especially around others that you’re fully aware have been negatively impacted by the act. Out of everything in the world, murder, rape, and by association all forms of torture are three things that no pony should ever be desensitized to. And by constantly bringing it up and joking about it, that’s exactly what you’re attempting to do, whether you mean to or not.
And make no mistake, rape is torture.
