What a civilized and cultured credit to your fellow animal you must be with your primal and antiquated urges.
Anonymous asked: Is it true that nothing says Christmas like a pair of socks?
I’m not all the familiar with the human version of the holiday. Could be.
Anonymous asked: How is all life sacred? Plants are living things, and ponies need those to survive.
I already clarified what I meant when I said that.
It’s not like we eat plants with a brain.
Anonymous asked: Do you think Twilight writes bad fanfiction?
I wouldn’t know. I don’t read fanfiction.
Anonymous asked: What's the best way to fight against crime? Actively (like superheroes or vigilantes) or passively (like philanthropists or volunteer organizations)?
No one method will cover everything. Thus all points are equally valid. Though the division of numbers will be unequal, that doesn’t mean the significance of one strategy outweighs another.
Anonymous asked: Clarification on the alien question: If you were abducted by aliens, and they told you they were scientists studying Equestria or whatever, and tried to put some tag-camera-thingy on you so they could study pony behavior or something, how would you react to the whole thing?
It doesn’t sound like any of that puts me in any danger. And you still said one day right? Then I can take the camera off?
Of course, if I’m having an open dialog with these aliens, I’d want to know what the research would be used for.
Anonymous asked: I know why the aristocracy exist, Lyra. They're so fun to mess around with. Ever pull a prank on one? They get all flustery and their monocles or other fancy accessories fly off in the most hilarious fashion.
You wanted to remain inconspicuous toward the people you stole from. Pranking them is conspicuous.
At this point, such a thing would be beneath me.
And not all aristocrats are insufferable. Fleur and Fancy are upper-crust, but they don’t just donate money to charity, they donate their own time! And time is worth a lot.
Anonymous asked: Are you a fan of Daniel Hoofler, AKA Lempony Snicket?
I don’t know that I’ve read, seen, or heard anything he’s had a hoof in creating.
If you had something in particular in mind, feel free to give me a link through the submit function.
Wow! Lot of asks all of a sudden!
I’ll get to them all a little later. For now, I gotta go pick up a pizza for dinner and eat with Boscov and Sweetie.
That’s the general opinion. And to be quite honest, after being tossed around in a giant washing machine for two hours, even if he did fix my broken leg, it’s my opinion as well.
But try to look at this from another perspective. Discord isn’t stupid. If he realized when he was released that failure to abide by mortal rules would result in the reinstatement of his previous punishment, do you really think he would have done what he did? He thought he was invincible!
And exactly what did he do? At its most base level, were his actions any different than Trixie’s or Gilda’s? Or what any given bully does? Do they deserve to be imprisoned in a chunk of rock for over a thousand years?
The only thing that made him a threat worthy of such a punishment were his powers, not his actions. If you actually think about it for more than a few seconds, you might just pity him. He’s just a childish creature with too much power to grow up.
ask-fleurthepony-deactivated201 asked: Your music is absolutely fabulous! You must play at one of my parties one day.
I know you! We met a few times back in Canterlot!
Wow! Thank you!
Apparently you’ve never heard of a food chain. And I’ll just assume that because you’re a horse, you may not know that plants are alive too.
A grass and flowers can’t react with emotion, just like an unfertilized egg has no heartbeat and milk is just a liquid. That’s why we’re vegetarians, not vegans.
And everypony knows about the food chain. It’s what wild animals adhere to. We aren’t wild animals; we’re a civilized culture with a pharmaceutical industry capable of giving any creature whatever their diet requires to survive.
It shows not only compassion and cultural awareness, but the extent of his willingness to change himself for the better.
All life is sacred.
I forgot to censor it again…
I’m not very good at this while busy.
Okay. Sweetie and I are going to stay at Boscov’s next week during construction. Bon-Bon and Tootsie are going to stay with Tootsie’s Mom.
It’ll be a little inconvenient for Tootsie, because she’ll have to get up earlier to go to school next week. Fortunately for her, Wednesday through Friday will be half days.
