I have no idea how I’m even hovering around with this thing.  I already have wings so why do I even…?

Artist’s Note:  I clearly did not even bother trying to get the Battlefield right.  Oh well.  Everyone is in costume so this counts as my Halloween/Nightmare Night post, right?  …Right?

I meant to reblog this earlier because of Duck Hunt Dog Tootsie.

1) It’s pretty disappointing. But Mii Lyra is a brawler, of course. And the only problem I’ve been having is how the 3DS’s button configuration doesn’t transfer from the old GC controls very well.

2) Lyra: Eh…

Bon-Bon: Don’t listen to her. We all had a fabulous time! And Liza was very interested! And since archery is considered a noble martial art, it shouldn’t be hard to convince her parents to allow her to pursue that further.

3) No… I’m drawing a blank… I was thinking maybe a timberwolf…

Holy crap my back hurts again out of nowhere.

1) I have! The Mii fighters are one of my favorite parts of the game! It’s such a shame you can’t use them online.

Edit: Also, who are you to complain about the buttons being too small? My hoof covers all the buttons! How do?

2) From my Dynasty Warrior experience, that level/character/weapon combo doesn’t last very long without some kind of substance. That’s what made DW3’s free mode so great, and why DW8’s is such trash.

1) Well… Uh… There isn’t really an answer. Ponies will say things like, “Put that energy toward something constructive!” But, I mean, I know when I’m frustrated I don’t want to do anything constructive. I want to break things. So I play video games and beat up stuff!

But trying to tell somepony else how to deal with frustrations toward things we have no control over is… I mean I have no education/experience in this field. It would be wrong of me to recommend something and pretend like I do.

2) I’m going to keep this question and answer it with more detail later. I haven’t really played it enough yet. But I’m having fun!

3) I was carrying a box, but everything was about to spill out of it, and I hurt my back twisting to catch it.

Everything still fell out.

4) And the video version has an added faux-related video lineup!

5) Well, consistent was never on the menu, but definitely more hours!

And I haven’t got sick yet! Just injured, kinda-sorta. Back still feels off.

6) Why does that sound familiar? I know I’ve heard something like that somewhere…

Also, I’m a lady. I don’t pass gas. That’s… That’s the human joke, right? That girls don’t fart?

1) Meat is murder.

2) Because I love Bubbie! She was the whole reason I started watching Flapjack! She’s, like, one of the best characters ever!

3) Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that there was anything wrong with that. It can be easier to process the world when everything is a little neater.

Just… you know, be careful about it. That sort of thing is how stereotyping is created. “You are this, so you look/act this way.”

4) Bon-Bon: I’ll make time. And as long as it’s after school hours, there’s no reason Liza can’t make it either. And if her work calls, Lyra is to say she can’t pick up any hours on that day. Isn’t that right, Lyra?

Lyra: Ugh…

5) Why would you need my help? I thought you already won. After all, there’s a skeleton in all of us.

6) Oh for pony’s sake… This is why conspiracy theory is synonymous with crazy.

Hey… Guess who hurt her back like an idiot?

It was me.

1) I’d ask why humans feel such a strong need to classify and label things, like personal theologies, but I guess that’d only be proving your point, wouldn’t it?

2) At first I thought the Running of the Leaves happened while we were gone, but I’ve since been reminded that happens at the end of fall, not the start.

I’ve also been informed by Bon-Bon that I am participating this year. Yay.

3) As long as the stars align and everypony does exactly what they’re supposed to do, nothing bad will ever happen! But how many things have to go wrong for somepony to take an arrow to the bottom? I’m betting it’s a short list.

4) I have two days off next week! I’m not going to want to do anything on the first one, so how about next Tuesday?

5) Lyra: My theory is that she was trying to say she beefed, you know, farted.

Tootsie: Hey! How come you’re allowed to say fart?

Lyra: Because I’m over a decade older than you. Fart fart fart.

Bon-Bon: Lyra! Stop saying that word!

Lyra: Sorry!

Tootsie: Hehe.

6) Sorry for being sorry about both things I was sorry for.

1) Liza goes home on the weekends. She’s not going to be able to go if it’s that late or on a weekend.

Also, “It’ll be fun!” brings us back to the amusement park argument.

2) I did not. Though to be honest, I actually can’t remember what I used for most of the game. I know I wore heavy armor and used a shield, and I know I switched weapons a lot on my second run.

Edit: Oh! I remember now! It was Estoc from the New Londo Ruins!

I wish I had a Wii U… Not that I’ve ever cared so much about the Zelda franchise, but I want to play as Ruto and Midna!

3) Well, that would be presumptuous. In theory, they could beat me up.

4) Let me tell you something, Bbz. That’s a terrible [omitted] habit. You need to break that [omitted] with the quickness.

5) Bbz, I went on a date with York once. Of course I knew about his prosthetic tail. It’s not something I’d just bring up though- that’s rude.

6) Lyra: You didn’t nearly have an ice cloud come crashing down on your head.

Bon-Bon: I’m assuming the arrows at this range are normal.

Lyra: You know what happens when you assume.

asktoolaroola:
“ So it’s all back to normal now!
”
Yeah, that sounds like something Equestrian authorities would do.

Yeah, that sounds like something Equestrian authorities would do.

We~’ve got the music-makes you move it.

Got the song that makes you lose it.

We say “jump”, you say “how high?”

Put your hands up to the sky!

1) I’m still not understanding how I was supposed to tell him this and it not seem like I’m being told to tell somepony something. I mean, I’d like to think I’m pretty good at lying, but I’d need a better prompt than this.

2) I’m sorry?

3) Does she look angry? Also, “Perfect landing!”

4) Hearth’s Warming decorations out before Nightmare Night has passed? What a horrifying world you suffer through.

5) Lyra: That sounds kind of dangerous. And a lot like work.

Tootsie: My name is Lisa!

Bon-Bon: Actually… that does sound like fun! Maybe you could try working it around my schedule? There’s got to be a time where we’re all free.

Lyra: I don’t wanna go.

Bon-Bon: Exercise, filly! You still need it!

1) Peaceful land with kind inhabitants? Do you mean the hallows, the harpies, the body-horror phalanx, or the undead dragon?

I needed to beat her to make the scythe.

2) Aren’t you comparing a sizable coastal country, centralized in the European trade route, with a tiny, mountainous, landlocked country?

Golly doop it, Harry Lime, what are you on?

3) I’ve known about it for a bit. But since I can’t play it I haven’t looked into it much. Maybe it’ll get ported to Steam like Deadly Premonition was.

4) Oh… Sorry. That’s no fun. No incoming patch to stabilize it?

5) How about it has both because it has two heads? Is that creepy enough yet? Are we done here?

6) Bon-Bon: Sorry. I’ve been really busy since we got back. I had no idea I’d have more business this year than last year! I wasn’t prepared for this!
