Anonymous asked: Why can't I find any drug dealers in Ponyville?

You’d be hard pressed to find any in all of Equestria anymore. The entire illegal trade has been drying up for quite sometime now.

Edit: Unless you meant a legal drug store. There’s two of those, I think.

There’s two problems with this.

Firstly, I’m not a big fan of folk music. Sorry, I’m just not that into it.

Second, this is only sheet music for the lyrics. That button you can press on the page at the top of the sheet? That’s what the sheet music is for; that’s what it would sound like.

This is what it’s actually supposed to sound like.

Sorry, I couldn’t accept that even if I wanted to do the piece. This is just a vocalist’s sheet, so a singer will know what notes to hit when singing.

It’s taking place on Couple’s Day, silly, February 14th.  It’ll be taking place in the evening at about 5 PM and running until Sugar Cube Corner Closing time at 10 PM.

Couple’s Day…

You mean Hearts and Hooves Day? Oh. I figured this was some last minute invitation.

I’ll ask Boscov. That does take place on a Tuesday.

Anonymous asked: What's your favorite method of transportation?

The stationary kind. I call it non-transportation.

I’m just playin’. I’m not that lazy.

Probably boothed train, because it’s like being in a little house while you travel.

Uh, this isn’t really fan mail, so I guess it doesn’t need the tag.

What day is this taking place? I’ll have to move stuff around and I won’t know if Boscov will be able to attend until I get a date and time and talk it over.

EST, if you can manage it.

Anonymous asked: Do you appreciate Bon-Bon enough?

I believe I’ve addressed this before.

1) Not to be a downer, but some ponies just aren’t made to be cool. Being cool usually requires you to have dealt with some heavy stuff in the past. It gives you the insight to know what rules are meant to be bent and a certain carefree attitude that makes your movements more fluent and visually impressive.

Not that I consider myself cool, mind you. I’m a straight arrow.

[Wink]

2) Uh… What?

Good luck with your business, I guess.

No, not yet. He took after our Papa and went into economics, so he goes on many business trips. Harry always call these business trips vacations, as he considers what he does enjoyable and opposite of a boring business trip.

Huh. Must be nice.

Is he retired?

I know my brother Harry laughed for a whole five minutes when I first informed him… But he’s pretty approving of it now.

Have I met Harry? I don’t recall.

Anonymous asked: I'm your 4444th hit. 4 4s. 4 is a very unlucky number. Has anything unlucky happen to you recently?

I finished my first short story. Or at least a first run through it. I’m a day behind my personal schedule, though. I guess that’s unlucky if I don’t catch up before the day is over.

1) I’m a little apprehensive of the sound of my voice. Evidently I sound like a colt.

And no, this isn’t a post requesting positive reinforcement. I’m not going to record myself.

Ever.

Maybe.

2) Cultural differences between the two of us alone? No. There seems to be some kind of disapproval of our relationship from both bears and ponies, though. Some ponies seem a little angry by it; some bears seem to think it’s… ridiculous or they just can’t take it seriously.

lostcrazyoldman-blog asked: Help i'm lost do you now what year is it?! Are you a Green talking Pony?! I'm So lost WERE AM I?!

I’ve been told that on Human Earth the year is 2012 Anno Domini, or A.D., which means In the time of our Lord in some human language called Latin.

Being that you’re contacting me through the ponynet, I couldn’t be sure where you are, but yes I am a talking, green pony. Unicorn, specifically.

Anonymous asked: And here I was thinking about taking you up on that new icon thing. And Colorsymphony beat me to it easily. Not that it's a bad thing as they're better than I probably ever will be. Though I've got a plan to draw you up something again, probably Deus Ex related like before. I guess look forward to that within a couple weeks or something. Right. Question. Um. How about a hint to what your next piece you'll do on the lyre will be? Maybe make it so incredibly vague we'll never figure it out!

It’s the theme to Skyrim. I’d keep it a secret, but I’ve already said a number of times. It just keeps getting pushed back.

Only trouble is, I don’t know when I’ll be able to get to it. I’m wanting to at least get through a first run on five of these short stories I’m writing each week, but so far I haven’t even finished the first one. 911 calls aren’t fully standardized so it’s hard to get a good source of what all would be said.

Edit: And thank you for the drawing you plan to make! I’m sure it’ll be fabulous!

askspikesomething-deactivated20 asked: I like your new icon!

Thank you!

I wanted to tell you’ve gotten much better at drawing!
