1) Are we still on this subject?
Though I gotta tell you, some of those are pretty scary. I mean, Courage has never lost. Drunk ponies can always be dangerous. Homsar is terrifying. Foals with sharp hooks?
2) I think the obvious answer is that I’m already a zombie. But if I wasn’t, I guess I’d turn a sickly pale? And red eyes! Gotta have the red eyes to be scary.
This is easily the longest I’ve ever spent on a track, but I wanted to make sure it was special for the one year anniversary. The only sheet music I had to go by was a Mario Paint arrangement that was useful only as a starting point. Nearly everything you hear is my best attempt to match the original by ear.
This took twenty plus hours easy. I recognize that it won’t be for everypony, but I really like the way this came out. There were a lot of subtle instruments that I usually skip or are unable to pick up on that I made sure were adequately represented here. It all comes together great and I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for my first full year on tumblr!
And here’s a question mark so you can leave a message if you want?
I started a sort-of contest, and this post contains the results. Originally I was going to only do one. But since I only had five entries I decided to do all of them.
This is a heavy note. Three of the five are fairly standard stuff. Admittedly I probably would misdirect them or turn them into jokes, but the questions and answers contain nothing you wouldn’t ordinarily see here.
However, the last two are of a mature nature. One of which extremely so. You’ll find that one after the break below. If you want to skip it, I promise you you will lose nothing for doing so. Again, do not click past the page break unless you’re willing to read material of a mature, adult nature.
The other I’m turning into a storytime post. That will come later tonight.
1) When I was younger, I wanted to be anywhere but Canterlot. But I was afraid to leave. I knew about Ponyville being relatively close, but I was afraid of it. My life back then was horrifying, but I quickly learned the worst of it. To leave presented the most terrifying thing I could think of, the unknown. I didn’t know if worse things existed, but that unknown possibility forced me to stay. Even if it wasn’t where I belonged, I didn’t know anything else.
Present day, I’ve been across most of Equestria, but it was all so fast. It’s not so much places I haven’t been as it is places I’d like to spend more time at. Fillydelphia seemed like a great place to live and, even though I’m afraid of heights, Cloudsdale is an absolutely beautiful city with a breathtaking view.
2) I’d probably be depressed that I was never able to make amends for the terrible things I did in the past. Even though I know I’ll never be able to, I guess deep down a part of me still wishes there was a way.
Honestly though, unless I’m crippled there’s too much to do in an hour to sit around and mope. I wouldn’t think a thing about the past unless I physically couldn’t move or communicate with anypony else. Too many loose ends to tie up before I go.
3) I don’t think you can lyra a saxophone at all, let alone while doing any of the rest of the things you listed. And I’d love to collaborate with Octavia for a musical project! Vinyl’s interest don’t usually mesh with mine, but I wouldn’t be against working with Ms. Pon3 so long as it’s not dubstep or techno. To that end, I think she and I could so something with a psychedelic or progressive rock slant.
Sounds good to me… Would it be okay for me to come over as well?
1) Really?
2) Of course, Honey Truffle!
Picking the “Tell:” to use and I’ll have a post for that soon. Music post will be after that and then I stayed up till 5 last night finishing that drawing I said I didn’t have enough time for! So that will be posted after the music.
Happy Tumblrversary for me to you!
1) Yes! Of course! Come on down!
2) No. Touchie.
3) Today is fine! One year tumblrversary and I’m playing my old copy of Alien Hominid!
4) I don’t enjoy hoofing them out. Just necessary sometimes.
5) You know I do. That’s why I broke into your house last night and stole your vast collection.
I mean, oh boy. That took like eight or nine trips, four dozen ten gig flashdrives. Man. You must really love smut.
Gay smut.
6) And he loves to eat cocaine! Because cocaine is vitamins for Anon Soap!
8) Thanks for the reminder! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a Free Shelter Day, though. Sounds like something I could have used growing up.
9) Yes. Sometimes I wish I had a blood-related family.
10) Unicorns are dumb. Unicorns are too good for bears. Bears are too good for unicorns. Krastos is too good for you. You’re too good for Krastos.
Can’t we just meet in the middle and agree that we deserve each other?
I-I’m a zombie!!!
I’m going to sleep, I will…try to process this more tomorrow D:
This has been great for keeping me motivated to finish the drawing I said I didn’t have enough time to do.
Cels I want to go to bed so bad, but I’m not done.
1) I’m in a romantic relationship with a bear, not you.
2) In a way, I guess. Not knowing the definitions and differences between the two isn’t going to suddenly make them change. At most, somepony might call you out for using the wrong word.
It’s more important to remember that social interaction is part of your mental health. Completely isolating yourself is literally not healthy. Even those that lean on the asocial side need some kind of social stimulation, and this is key, beyond talking to ponies on the computer.
3) Dude, I just didn’t want to get fat.
4) Getting sort of tired of this question, can you tell?
It’s not clever.
5) I’m alright, but I was meaning to draw something for tomorrow, which is my one year tumblr anniversary. I even have some reference pictures sitting on my desktop. But I’ve been busy these last few days and now I don’t have enough time.
So I’m sort of upset. All I have ready is a musical piece that I think came out great but don’t feel will be very well received, and the question contest-type thing. I wanted to have the drawing done and a second musical performance along with everything else.
1) Of course there is. I just have no control over it.
2) I don’t know. The roster just doesn’t seem that interesting to me. Even if the levels look like Smash Bros., the characters feel more like a Vs. game. Mostly mature, adult-oriented characters with a few oddballs mixed in. I don’t understand it. Namco has always been tight with Sony and I see a Tekken character. Where’s Klonoa? Where’s Pac-Man? Where’s Mr. Driller? Atlus has always had a significant presence with Sony. Where’s Jack Frost? All my love for Twisted Metal, but why is Sweet Tooth in this game?
It just looks too dark and mature and I feel like it’s going to miss that foalhood demographic that the original Smash Bros. hit and grew into a franchise because of.
Eeh- But no. I don’t have a Playstable 3. Only PS2. Outside of Littlebigplanet I have still yet to see anything exclusive to that system that interested me enough to want one.
3) I guess I’d look vaguely egg-like.
1) I have no-… I’ve worn a carnie costume in City of Ponies during the Nightmare Night event.
2) I either answer the question and get called a nerd or I ignore it and suddenly “Oh! So you’re too good for blah blah blah?”
3) I use a stylus for my manedroid and just magic to grab and press the keys down.
4) Possibly, but it doesn’t seem like there’d be much point to it. It’s flawless and orchestral. Short of the novelty hearing it a lyre might provide, there’s nothing I can do with it.
She just sort of stayed over for a few days after a fairly traumatizing incident involving her hearing Rarity and Basil being intimate. Time enough for her to calm down, get back into school, and me to rationalize with her what took place to take the sting away. Things sort of built up from there.
I pieced together that he had a crush on me and asked him if I was right.
Sorry. I’ve tried before. It’s not a matter of having a good teacher or anything; I’m just not strong enough. It’s why I can’t use Partial Acceleration either.
Seeing as you have your own stuff and your own place to stay, no. You’re taxed on what you own and I’m taxed on what I own. Bon-Bon and I don’t get tax breaks for taking care of Tootsie and Sweetie either. We are able to provide proof that most of their stuff that stays here is their parent’s responsibility, but I had to pay taxes for owning Simple.
I see, but why is that necessary?
1) Yes, like that. Except I can answer that right now, at least to the best of my ability.
We rotate around our sun. The sun is located at a relatively fixed point in our solar system (I remember being told that it wobbles), which in turn rotates around the center of our universe.
2) I’m having a difficult time figuring out what that means. Something to do with weight lifting?
3) Depends how much prep time and on who’s ground. With no prep time, Doctor Doom has the advantage. Against super powered beings, Batman’s real superpower is being prepared.
With minimal prep time Batman has the advantage even on Doctor Doom’s turf. Batman has pre-prep time on his side because of his utility belt and all the tools he’s already made, so he can just swap out the best tools for the occasion, super computer a little bit of information, and go from there.
But the more prep time Doctor Doom has, the worse things are for Batman no matter where the fight takes place. Doctor Doom has more resources available and the means to relocate those resources faster than Batman could.
The one exception would be in cases of extreme prep time, like days or a week. Given enough time, Batman seems to always be able to fashion some type of kill switch-style item to shutdown his opponent in one swift action.
4) To distinguish them from regular asks which, as you can see, I will still be responding to.
Okay, so for part of my one year tumblr anniversary, I’m going to do something I’m one hundred percent positive I’m going to regret.
I’m going to directly answer a question I usually wouldn’t. Think of it like an honesty hour/TMI type-thing (which I’ve intentionally never done).
BUT! Here’s the stipulations.
- I’m only answering one.
- I’m choosing which one. And-
- It can’t be anonymous. You have to have a blog with at least a month old message, or present proof that the blog has been around for at least a month (which isn’t hard. If you have no posts just submit a link that leads to a question you’ve asked somepony at least a month ago; doesn’t matter which tumblr it was sent to).
Don’t waste your time spamming my inbox with the same question over and over again because it’s not going to matter. If I find a better question, or one I’m more comfortable answering, that’s the one I’m picking.
If you want your message to be in the running, place a “Tell:” tag before the message (without quotation marks). For example:
My one year tumblr anniversary is on July 8th. To make sure your message counts, send it in before 6 A.M. EST of July 8th. That’s A.M., morning of the day itself. It might count after that if I haven’t done the winning message yet, but I can’t guarantee it.
1) I know you want me to, but I’m not going to pick NOD.
2) I guess it’s sorta cool. Just not what I wanted.
3) Is it true that X when/if Y?
4) This is the most appealing bathroom stall message I’ve ever read.
5) Probably not. He could likely goat half or more of them into monologuing too, but it ultimately wouldn’t help.
6) WOAH! THANKS FOR THE WARNING ABOUT THE THING THAT DIDN’T HAP- [Thud]
AAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!
[Gasping for air]
Bird… Bird tapped on the window…
7) … That’s the most horrifying thing I’ve ever read…
I mean, I’ve been tortured before, but that-… That’s just… [Shutter]
1) Well, I got some plans tomorrow night. More on that later.
2) Week or two ago, I think. Possibly again tomorrow.
3) Do I really have to say no?
4) I decline.
5) No, that’s how you get kicked out of the arcade.
6) I’m happy that you’re happy.
7) I decline again.
1) We’re still friends; we just don’t talk much these days. And that’s okay. Friends know they’re friends.
I still check her page from time to time. She seems happier.
2) I can’t even tell if that’s the right day.
3) The villains. You can’t brute force or awesome your way through magic. Jackie only had a possible advantage by using tactical misdirection.
4) … Garfield?
Sweetie sings some of the songs she and her friends have made up from time-to-time.
6) You and everypony else with hooves, it feels like. At least sometimes.
7) Cis? Is this really a thing? I assume “normal” was too offensive to trans.
