1) Me, right? ‘Cause of humans, right? Human hands? 'Cause I’m obsessed with them, right?

2) Uh… Go fish?

3) For what?

4) I… I’m sorry. I had no idea.

5) Is there an analog to that? I can’t think of one.

6) I haven’t heard of that. Don’t believe everything you hear.

7) No offense, but isn’t a demon telling me to be careful around a demon sort of the pot calling the kettle black?

1) … Okay… I’m not 100% what you’re talking about, but-

The reason why fanfiction isn’t completely pointless is twofold. A) It’s a training process that involves learning how to properly portray characters you had no hoof in creating, possibly in a world you had no hoof in creating. That is, something outside your comfort zone to make you grow as an author. B) To garner interest from ponies who may be invested in the subject matter you’re using, but have no idea who you are. You want to get some attention; get some ponies to trust you and support your real work.

Take that information and make the best decision you can for yourself.

2) Are you alright? What happened?

3) No offense, but everything that gets attention eventually turns into a game of profits in your world. I can’t change the commercialized reality of your world, but the idea behind the competition is sound.

4) I’m… not? I mean, yeah, I’m not unheard of. But this is tumblr famous. This is tumblr famous. This is tumblr famous. I mean, this guy might not have the most followers, but he’s got multiple posts with multi-thousands of notes.

5) I know this was from last night, but how about Sunday night? I kinda got something to do early tomorrow and I can’t stay up late.

6) Better to be useful than a one-trick pony. Trust me.

1) Oh, don’t be such a wet blanket. All societies like to prove their mettle every now and again. Official games are a great way to do that safely!

As far as entire careers being built upon that… Well, that’s the difference between ponies and humans.

2) My my! Is that a Jack Frost nipping at my nose? Hopefully with no sinister intentions in mind!

3) Morgan Freemane. Hooves down.

4) Don’t like that stallion. Not one bit.

5) We had a lovely, quiet dinner.

Then I nodded off early and now I can’t get back to sleep. Or at least I couldn’t. I think I can now.

6) You can give the candy to me and I’ll send them your regards.

7) I’m going to struggle and probably hurt you badly in the process. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s not.

8) That’s… a lot of bits…

1) And yet I’m almost certain I watched somepony kill you.

2) Get a stable job. Not so lofty, eh?

3) And that’s where I’ve been today and that’s where we’re going soon!

4) Actually… I did. Plus the creepy laugh. Then some filly ran off crying and I decided I should probably change costumes.

5) York! Hello! Cels, it’s been forever! How are you? It’s great to hear from you!

6) It’s alright. Had some just the other night.

7) … I’m having difficulty following. In truth, that not only doesn’t seem like a logical progression, it doesn’t sound like a rational thought.

8) Does it have to be about something I learned? Does it have to be a letter? Can I just sit down and talk to her?

9) That’s okay, Hulk. I made it this far without a father. I’ll be alright.

10) You only have jurisdiction over a society if they allow it. Otherwise, you’re invading Equestrian soil.

11) Not really a very good story. It was just playing on the computer and got really involved, but the song wasn’t playing very loud and I wasn’t consciously aware of it. By the time I realized how late it was and decided to get some dinner, eight hours had passed. I might not have been consciously aware, but subconsciously I heard it.

I now forever associate that song with a little, foreign, MMOSRPG called Dofus.

12) I go by Lie-ra, but whichever you want to do is fine by me. Just stay consistent.

1) They’ve made how many Digimon World games?

B: I remember watching my niece play the original.

Such an old stallion.

2)

3) Nah. I think I’ll just act like myself.

4) Well that’s a new one. Thanks, Strawberry!

5) By the song? I’m over it. Had to have been a coincidence. Movie was made five years ago; book’s older than that. Lyrics to the song were evidently much more literal anyway.

6) Aren’t you dead, or is that still considered spoilers?

7) Let me tell you something…

1) I’m not. I’m strange like that.

2) That’d be interesting, but I don’t think he’d be able to commit to something that elaborate.

3) Hulk.

Hulk.

H-Hulk. I’m not your daughter. I think they meant another Lyra.

4) Oh. I already did them.

5) What is with ponies and butts lately?

6) I think so. This version, anyway. Longest I’ve ever listened to a single song was eight hours, though. I don’t even have Kiss From A Rose on my computer anymore. Don’t hate it, just can’t really enjoy it after that.

7) Look, I don’t care what part of the Lylat System you came from. You have no jurisdiction here so just head back off down the galactic highway and go throw your weight around somewhere else.

Actually I think it’s entirely anon’s fault. Your sexual history is none of their business and in my world the fetishizing of female same sex experiences is very sexist.

1) While I appreciate you politely asking, the answer is still no.

2) Sorry, but my fighting days are over.

3) I think a lot of ponies trust me more than they should, the same way a lot of ponies place too much expectation in others instead of accepting them solely for what they do. But not Boscov.

4) Doing alright. The girls are enjoying their summer vacation, Bon-Bon’s getting a lot of work in, and I’m mostly just taking care of the house. Vacuuming, washing dishes, that sort of thing.

5) What are you talking about? I listened to that whole album! In one sitting!

6) Never seen the show, but from the description, no.

7) Uh… I mean. I was prepared to reply with “No. Not even close. Not even remotely close.” But… Uh…

B: Yeah, that’s actually pretty [omitted] creepy.

A-and this is from a movie?

B: It has to just be a coincidence.

That’s a pretty [omitted] up coincidence!

B: Stop freaking out. I’ll go contact some ponies and see what I can dig up.

8) I’ve never considered cosplaying as anypony. I dressed up as the Manecoat Killer at first for Nightmare Night, but I switched to the mummy costume because it was too scary.

9) Were they fetishising? I just figured they were curious since half of Equestria thinks Bon-Bon and I are, or at least were, together.

But yeah, tired of talking about it. Bon-Bon and I have never been together, at all. That’s all that matters at present.

1) No, but I did a recording of her theme once. It doesn’t have the flair of the original, though.

2) I’m sorry. It’s always sad when somepony passes on.

3) I was never a champion food eater, although there were a few competitions that were free to enter that I joined for a decent meal.

4) Oh Noes!

5) It’s not your fault, because I don’t think I ever tagged a post that I answered this in, but I’m sort of tired of answering this.

6) B: This isn’t the movies. Once your intentions are made known, talking during an engagement is not a good idea. The very way in which you vocalize is just another method of offering an opening to a target.

7) That’ll be a trick.

Wait, are you a little demon named Panpeus?

8) Favorite Song tag! If you read through them, all the questions you asked should be answered.

Sometimes I want to share one of my favorite songs, but it’s not exactly for everypony. This one by That Handsome Devil might be a little darker than you’re used to, especially from me. If you decide to listen to it and start to feel uncomfortable, by all means stop and listen to something brighter. I don’t want to make anypony depressed.

1) Is… Is that a thing?

B: D.

Oh… That… No. Not common.

2) Certainly! It’s been a while, but I wasn’t half bad back-in-the-day.

3) I don’t think so. There’s been a bit of news from Appleloosa regarding some flooding, but from the tone of the article nothing major.

Lot of thunderstorms around here lately, but I don’t pretend to understand how the weather ponies do their business.

Húfbol is pretty popular in Equestria. There’s also this underground group of pegasus athletes that have started playing quidditch.

4) Uh I… I feel asleep while we were watching the show.

5) Let me handle this.

thisapplebloom:

Almost… Ah’ve been stuck at this number for like the last two weeks. It’s drivin’ me nuts!

((OOC: Seriously x3 I’ve had this image sketched out for the last month for my 1000 followers, but it never came xD))

She probably does by now, but let’s make sure she gets the 1,000+ followers she deserves.

1) I can, but the problem is I can’t predict when it will happen. I’ve been using it for the last two days and it hasn’t crashed again. I’ve been running next to nothing, since it seems to happen when I’m using too many resources (specifically a bunch of youtube videos), and I’m running off of a crappy GeForce eighty-five hundred GT graphics card because my good one crashes more often. But I’ll do that and let you know what it says next time it happens, if I’m able.

Out of all the times it’s crashed, I’ve only seen the blue screen three or four times. Most of the time it’s just my monitor losing feed. What happens after that I have no idea because I can’t see.

2) I got the cue stick thing, I just wasn’t down with the “hustle some chumps” jive. A reference, I assume.

3) Aw… Thanks, Hulk! You’re sweet.

4) And I’d like to congratulate Anon #4 for single-hoofedly bringing back the creepy tag. Because seriously… just [omitted]-A, mare.

1) I fold.

2) I don’t think so, though to be honest I’m not even sure what you’re asking.

3) That sounds like a terrible plot.

4) Ha! I knew you’d risk yourself for Mister Lincoln.

5) I would never say no to more cheese.

6) Again, we’re still just talking. Nothing’s started. We haven’t even decided upon a genre yet. I didn’t mean to get anypony’s hopes up, I was just saying.

7) That depends. Are they all lined up or scattered around the house? Am I acting natural or trying to hug really fast? Are they aware of what’s going on or am I surprising them?

Because Bon-Bon decided to act squirrelly and run and dodge from me. That really killed my time.

And then you’re left feeling like an [omitted]hole when you both realize the situation isn’t what either of you thought it was, but it was your fault for not figuring it out first?

I mean, I feel like [omitted].

…

Sorry, venting. I’ll answer some questions later tonight.

1) The point of a first date isn’t to make a good first impression, though it is important. It’s to learn if the two of you are compatible in a romantic situation. That’s why you’re supposed to be yourself. If it wasn’t meant to be, then it wasn’t meant to be.

That said, dress for the occasion, make sure you don’t give off a bad or overpowering smell, remain calm and don’t get yourself worked up. You might want to rehearse talking and it helps if you have some conversation ideas. Appropriate conversation ideas. Don’t bring up a tragic event. You want to be yourself, but present the best “self” you can. Just, you know, be prepared. If nothing else it shows you cared enough to put some time and consideration into the occasion. You want to leave a lasting, positive memory.

2) Trying to fix, or at least determine exactly what is wrong with my computer. I’ve also been talking with a gentlecolt about possibly working on making a game together. We’re still just talking.

Other than that, just regular stuff.

3) [Audible sigh]

Well, thanks for letting me know. And I edited that last post with the question I missed.

4) I’m pretty pessimistic about the situation at this point, but yes and yes.

The only thing I’m positive about is that it has something to do with flash.

5) Evidently I did. Just listened to it last night while doing regular things.

krastosthegluemaker said: Actually, the RCA Lyra was an early MP3 player. I had one, and it was neat at the time. Sure, it could only hold one-and-a-half worth of a CD album, but that’s still 50% more songs than a CD album.

1) You could fix my computer.

2) I know Applejack wears socks, but I don’t know anything about underwear.

3) What a coincidence! I need… Oh, let’s see… About the equivalent of 600 USD. If I’m lucky.

4) No! That’s not me! I’m a nice pony!

5) I’m a nice pony that doesn’t know what this guy is saying.

6) No.

7) Edit: Let her choose how to live her life. Not like one more pony that looks like me wondering around would make any difference, right?

8) I’m goin’! I’m goin’!

9) Sorry for not replying to this when it was, you know, relevant. I figured something like that may have been the case, but I wasn’t sure.
