I seriously think one of the best things in life is looking at the art of people who don’t do art very much. Its so cute. Not because they are bad or anything, its just so cool to see how people draw without a lot of experience. It’s a unique look into their mind and perspective of the world. Encourage people to draw please!!

Okay. So I walk through the front door with my bags on my back and an umbrella in my mouth. I turn around to shut the front door and when I turn back I see something out of the corner of my eye! I jump and gasp. Drop the umbrella on the floor. Crash! Drop my bags on the floor. Bang! Dog starts barking and runs to me. Arow-row-row-row! It’s two thirty in the morning and I’ve just woke up the entire house.

And what caused this, you may ask? What was the thing I saw out of the corner of my eye?

The umbrella. The umBRELLA I HAD IN MY MOUTH! I SCARED MYSELF WITH THE UMBRELLA I HAD IN MY OWN MOUTH!

1) B: Not now. There’s still too much work to be done. There has to be.

2) I have hooves, Strong Nombre. Shouldn’t just typing normally be more of a spectacle?

3) Probably not. Not that I’d know or anything.

1) B: I don’t watch television.

2) Got something in mind, do you? I’m sure you know the rules by now.

3) Bon-Bon: Well, I offered to chaperone because Liza expressed interest. But she wound up not going. I was still obligated. It was fun though!

Lyra: Come o~n. You said you’d do it. You gotta start it!

B: [Audible sigh] … We.

Lyra: Are the Crys-tal!
Bon-Bon: Are the Crystal!

Tootsie: Gems!

B: We’ll always save the day.
Lyra: We’ll al-ways save the day!
Bon-Bon: We’ll always save the da~y!

Tootsie: And if you think we can’t! We’ll-!

B: Always find a way.
Lyra: Al-ways find a way!
Bon-Bon: Always find a wa~y!
Tootsie: Always find a way!

B: That’s why the people-

B: Of. This. World.
Lyra: O~f thi~s wo~rld!
Bon-Bon: O~f this wo~rld!

B: Believe in. Garnet.

Lyra: Am-y-thyst!

Bon-Bon: And Pear~l!

Tootsie: And Steven!

1) And it’s nice that you’re waiting your turn. Very polite.

2) No? I mean no, right? I mean, I can’t imagine.

3) Not unless Princess Luna intervened every night. I couldn’t ask for that.

4 & 5) Two out of four, actually. Which would be a failing grade. I was late last year too. I’m just so busy right now. I have nothing prepared.

I could still do the tell thing, if anypony wants to ask something.

6) Okay, real talk though? I don’t even like Shrek. The messages it presented may have been innovative at the time for a movie theater animation. But for comics, video games, even regular cartoons, not so much. Memes like “get shrekt” and “it’s ogre” are, to me, less ironic and more mockery. The only reason why they’re even notable is because the franchise has penetrated so deep into modern culture that they’re immediately recognizable.

On the other hoof, I’ve never seen Despicable Me or any related media outside of “He’s so fluffy! I’m gonna die!“ Which just makes me like the kid, not the Servbot wannabes.

1) ‘Bout what?

2) Most of those failures. They can just screw up. And really, those things aren’t complicated. Don’t they print directions on them anyway?

Now, neglecting to teach about things like emergency contraception is a failure in sexual education. The notion that, even if there is a failure in a product you can still avoid childbirth, is about the most important fact you can teach. In an ordinary, healthy relationship, pregnancy should always be a choice.

Of course, we’re just beating around the bush here. The obvious direction this is going in is “This is scare tactics, yeah?“ And yeah, it’s scare tactics. Arm you with just enough information to fear something until you’re older at which point you’ve probably figured it out on your own. Are ponies any better at that? Maybe. But they still neglect to cover emergency contraception.

3) Nope. Everypony poops.

4) Bon-Bon: It was everything I thought it would be! It was like we were one!

Lyra: It was nice to not be alone in a dream. For somepony to watch my back.

5) Since that’s a class 1 felony, no. Also [omitted] ew. Celes.

“Lyra, please talk to me. This isn’t like you.“
Despite the princess’s plea, Lyra’s eyes remained fixed on the floor.
“Are you afraid? I promise, we can protect you. You can stay here!“
When Princess Celestia lifted her hoof to raise Lyra’s head, Lyra jerked away.
“Are they holding something over you? Are you protecting somepony? Please talk to me, Lyra.“
___

“Lyra, please. Silence is not the answer. Aren’t pony’s lives at stake? This can’t get any better if you don’t say something.“
___

“Lyra, I know you’ve been angry with me. But if you can just put that aside…“
___

“Lyra, please say something! Anything!
___

“Lyra! Lyra!
___

Lyra could feel the princess’s tears on her shoulder and she clutched at her bedsheet. Though her mouth moved, she couldn’t speak a reply to the nightmares. In the morning, she would find the tears had been her own.

“Lyra, I know you’re being forced into this.” Princess Celestia walked toward Lyra and placed a wing around her, “Tell me who. Tell me how they’re getting to you. Are there others? I promise we will find a way to put a stop to this once and for-.“
Lyra took a step back and pushed the alicorn’s wing away, “Just send me away again. Like you did last time.“
“W-what?“ Princess Celestia, stunned, looked between the guards, searching for an answer, “Lyra, that was over a year ago. Sunset Shimmer… I had apologized for-… I’m sorry, Lyra. Please forgive me. But you must-“
Lyra shook her head, “I have nothing to say…“ She never even looked up.

Sorry Garnet and Amethyst, Vidalia is my new favorite character. I’m sure you both understand.

Also, Onion is freakin’ awesome!
