1) B: I am without purpose and I feel as though my life has lost all meaning.
2) Oh my gosh! Congratulations! That’s fantastic! And Bon-Bon got her brother-in-law to look after Simple. Evidently he both couldn’t make it and agreed. Color me surprised.
3) Lyra: Oh for pony’s sake… There was nothing-
B: [Sharp intake of breath]
Lyra: … Is-?
B: Something’s wrong.
Lyra: Ri~ght… He’s not taking his retirement very well, if you couldn’t tell.
4) Yes! I remember! I loved that tumblr! It was great! You portray a funny old pony very well!
That was nuts. I mean, what were they thinking?! How could they not have a contingency in place in case of emergencies?! That ice cloud could have killed dozens!
But, oh mare! Spike was all- zip zip zip! [deep inhale] Buuuuuuuuph! And it was gone just like that! Nothing but a gentle rain! Way to go, Spike!
Oh… And for all those ponies who were all, “Where were the princesses? What were they doing?” Well, who are those two in the left corner of this picture I took?
Risking their lives to help? I think so.
1) And SoB stands for ’Son of Bubbie’. It’s the same thing, really.
2) If I remember right, somepony did a really cool gift art for me, and I was all “Oh my Cels! Thanks! This is great! Thank you so much” or some such chain of gratitude. And then the next time I got something I thought to myself, “Shouldn’t I thank this person too? Wouldn’t that be rude not too?”
3) Lyra: What? No! Why would you say that? I’m not a creep! I’m not a weirdo! What the [omitted] am I doing here?! I don’t belong here!
Bon-Bon: Stop yelling! I’m trying to sleep!
Lyra: S-sorry…
4) Yes, controls. I don’t care if your sluggish, unintuitive controls were intended by design. I don’t like them.
[A dulled roar, as if within a massive crowd.]
Lyra: Okay. And you said I could post this too, right?
B: Sure.
Lyra: Alright! Take it away! Magic disabling! Go!
B: The notion of suppressing spell casting has been the subject of much research for nearly as long as spell casting has been around. There hasn’t been any real effective method up to this point. But it seems crystal ponies have created one. And it’s quite elegant. They used spell threading to weave together a complex Counterspell that sticks to the unicorn’s horn.
B: Now, a Counterspell wall isn’t a new concept. But crystal ponies took it so much further. They created a spell wall that seeks out sources of magic and wraps them in a Counterspell while leaving the rest of the subject unaffected.
B: It’s absolutely remarkable. If the Counterspell wrapped up the entire unicorn, then this would leave the subject in an unpleasant condition not far removed from being at a high altitude and breathing in thinner air. But because it targets only the source of magic- it’s the perfect solution to unwanted spell use for a public gathering. It could even be repurposed as a pacifying tool during riots or further, a non-fatal instrument of war.
B: That they created something so incredible such a short time after their return is simply astounding.

1) Uh… Okay? Not that I talk to York too much these days, but he’s never mentioned you before. Then again, most of his conversations involve movies I’ve never heard of or actors I don’t recognize by name.
2) I know what they were thinking. “Children will have a harder time breaking this and it’ll be cheaper for parents to buy.”
No PokeCenter wasn’t so bad. Mostly you just have to watch your PP levels, strike super-effectively for efficiency, and replace moves accordingly. At least until you get your first Leppa Berry. Granted, that’s quite a while, but there are a few points in the game where your Pokemon are auto-healed.
3) Bon-Bon: Oh my gosh! That’s exactly what she does!
Lyra: Sh-shut up!
4) Spike, you know I’m usually the first to come to your defense. But that was not alright.
Lyra: Oh Spike… Why couldn’t you just walk away…? Why couldn’t you just stop?
Bon-Bon: I was offended. I’m not from Cloudsdale and I was offended!
1) Aw. I was hoping you’d be here.
Opening ceremony was pretty cool. I’d never been to the games before. Also, they had Spike from Ponyville light the torch! Which must have been a last minute addition, because it wasn’t in the program.
2) Lyra: Phone filter? Magic fight competitions? Always looking for excitement, eh?
B: I’d keep it down about magic duels. Not the sort of conduct government employees are expected to be involved in. Just my two bits.
3) Bon-Bon: I would say that Lyra is very much a nerd, but not a dork. She’s too socially-oriented to be a dork. She gets excited about the silliest things, though. Like-
Lyra: That’s enough out of you.
4) Yeah… If I’m not doing well then I’m not having fun. I hate games that just kick my butt even when I know what I’m doing.

But when I played through the second time, I sort of set up a challenge. No PokeCenter and no EXP. Share. Early off it was tough because of the lack of revives/PP restoration, and later on enemies were really strong. Every single Pokemon used against me by the Elite Four/Champion were all higher leveled than mine. It was a much more interesting journey!
2) I didn’t know that, no! That’s so sad!
But, wait. You are going to the Equestria Games this week, right? I mean, with the opening ceremony tomorrow, Ponyville has to practically be a ghost town by now! Although, I don’t know if that would make investigating harder or easier.
3) Well look what the cat dragged in! How’s it going, Strawberry?
4) Lyra: Actually, most of the jobs I’m applying for are in data entry. If there’s one thing I can do, it’s type.
Bon-Bon: Sure, I sing a little. I mean, it’s the middle of the night and we’re on a train, so I’m not going to sing right now. But you get the idea.
treetewwun-deactivated20140512 asked: draw yoshi
oh Yoshi, you crazy dinosaur…
I really like Yoshi.
Get on my page, Yoshi.
I couldn’t edit your text by reblogging it so this was the closest thing I could do. Sorry.
Also I had suggested it as an alternative to the Grininja picture. You didn’t turn me down or anything! And now I have both! Thanks!

1) One? ONE?! How about five?! One. Two. Three. Four. Five!
… Sarah…
2) Oh. Um… What? The princesses cleaned everything up. What’s left to do?
3) No… I’m not so good at Metal Slug-style side-scroller shoot-em-ups. It’s just too much elaborate stuff on screen at once. I get overwhelmed.
4) Of course! It was my pleasure!
5) Illumise most notable feature seems to be that she’s the worst Prankster user in the game. Not much to salvage there that couldn’t be done better elsewhere.
6) Oh! Yes! That makes more sense!
