We shouldn’t, because we’re better than that.
And yeah. I know exactly how close we came to being utterly destroyed. Not even. Like I said, we’d have been a lot worse off, pony’s lives were in jepordy, but we were never in danger of being taken over.
The public seems to forget too often that for one thousand years the Elements of Harmony were unusable. Think for five seconds about all the times Canterlot and Ponyville alone have been attacked in the last two years. If they- the elements, were the only line of defense we had, how would we have survived that long? Princess Celestia is a fair and just ruler, but she’s not a fighter. Not a defender. Up until a few weeks ago I’d just assumed the rumor that she’d taken a vow of non-violance was true.
Here’s a little secret. By the time Princess Cadance had freed Shining Armor and he had used his barrier to repel the changlings, the treasury holding the Elements of Harmony had been secured again. There was a unit starting its way to the throne room. Could they have stopped Chrysalis where Princess Celestia had failed? Probably not. But they could have freed and empowered Shining Armor and Princess Celestia faster than Chrysalis could have bat them down.
That’s not even counting the group that was advancing to awaken Princess Luna.
Equestria’s safety does not rest on a needle’s point. We don’t resort to acts of cruelty because we’re stronger and better than those that do.
1) Really? All the things you humans know about us; all the perverse stuff you write and draw and you don’t even know something basic like that?
Our “naughty bits” mesh when not in use. Male sheath retracts into the body and the left and right walls of the opening close together the same way the female opening and anus do. The mesh is almost perfect on it’s own and fur coat covers the rest. That’s it.
2) Who now?
3) I’ll have to come back to it later again. I have a commission to do!
4) Yeah, I don’t think it would have mattered. You preformed a successful hug anyway.
Interesting. You know, if you want to heal, buff, and debuff, Thermal Radiation can do all three (so can Radiation Emission, but it favors debuffs over buffing and healing). Thermal is basically Sonic Resonance and Empathy combined. There’s some differences from Cold Domination, though.
Looking back, this is a little bigger than I intended. Going to put the rest after a break.

When did you get those?!
1) Like this.
2) Sorry. Sometimes I swear a little too much. I try to reel it in if somepony points it out.
3) I can’t keep track of your stats for you, Strawberry. You gotta remember this stuff during the action. It’s over. You’ll just have to remember it for next time.
4) Still trying to sort everything out with Boscov’s inventory. Almost done, though. Should finish with that middle of next week. He keeps good records of what he has, just needed to update present-day worth, amount left, et cetera.
Been working on and off with a piece in between other things, just not sure what to do with it. Not coming out like I’d wanted.
5) Look. This is very simple. Door is spring-loaded. Place hoof on doorknob. Turn doorknob. Pull hoof back. Spring pushes door open. Not that complicated.
6) Don’t really feel like looking up the reference. Anypony want to give me the abridged version?
7) You disgust me.
8) Just about every bit of legislation in the entire country goes through Princess Celestia’s office. Every financial report, every threat report, every agricultural report, every surveillance report, every every report. So yes.
9) I don’t understand how that would work. Organic means it has carbon, right? I have carbon. What is it that would make me a robot?
10) Relax. Just a drawing, right? Nothing to worry about.
I can certainly understand the desire to continue using Cold Domination. Novices or faux-vets from other MMOs might want Empathy or Pain Domination for heals, but real vets understand that City of Ponies is a game about buffs and debuffs. And Cold Dom not only has a lot of both, it’s the only support that can boost an ally’s maximum health. If you want to make a new character with Cold Domination I still recommend a Defender, or a Controller if you have that AT unlocked. Corruptor may be the AT in which Cold Domination was first introduced, but it’s the least optimal of the three available.
So… What were you looking to do on this new character? Support? Damage? Tank? Some kind of combination?
I don’t think that combination would make you the worst, but it’s not for beginners or even moderately experienced players. Long technical explanation ahead. Short version is that anything involving Energy Blast is very involving to play to the best of its ability, and Cold Domination is usually better off on a Defender, because you can’t skip it’s first ability on a Corruptor to use that ability slot on something else.

captainshiningarmor:
Actually, that’s always how my parents explained it.
I’ll defer to your expertise on this one.
Hmm… Sounds like a secret…
…
Oh I would be so~ [omitted] if I wound up being Twilight’s sister or some stupid [omitted].
That’s some third grade, fanfic bull [omitted].
1) Oh I believe I can… do a little more than that…
2) Well [omitted] you too, then.
3) I was initially attracted to his personality and demeanor. I do like the way his fur feels, though.
4) Shining Armor, right? I couldn’t be certain. It could be that his last name is Sparkle and he just doesn’t go by that. He may have dropped his surname entirely and taken Cadance’s surname after the wedding; though if that would make him Shining Armor Cadenza or Shining Armor Mi Amore I couldn’t say. Maybe Twilight’s family’s surname isn’t Sparkle at all, but something else they don’t generally go by.
I dunno. Better off asking Twilight or Shining Armor themselves, I suppose.
5) Sure. We’re all the times renting movies and then not returning them on time.
This one time, I saw him kick over a display of tomato paste cans and I rolled them all over the place. What a pair of rogues we are.
6) Oof!
I hope you don’t mind me posting this publicly, sir. I’m hoping to use this as a means to display the process to anypony else that may be interested.
I apologize for the Paypal error. It should be resolved now. Alternately you can find a donate button in the upper left corner of my page. It’s the same thing, really.
I have managed to find some sheet music for the piece in question (without added cost, which is good news) and it should be very doable. The next step would be the process of payment. You can choose to pay me between a half bit (5 USD) up to 2 bits (20 USD). The price will determine the time and effort put into the piece and its speed in being delivered to you. If you pay at least 1 bit (10 USD), then whether or not the piece is released to the public is up to you as well. You could pay more than 2 bits (20 USD), but I would take that under the assumption you were requesting more than one piece.
When sending me money I would ask that you add a note in order to help identify who you are and which piece you’re asking for. If you have any further questions, let me know!
~ Lyra
P.S: Of course, if anypony is feeling generous, I still accept straight donations.
1) The [omitted] do you mean “what happened?”
2) Looks like I got a low roll, but that’s okay! I have Hug Proficiency! Your severe hug is downgraded to heartwarming!
3) Yeah, sure.
No wait. That’s Seapony Lyra.
1) By what definition are we running off of? In olden times, alchemists were the ones trying to turn iron or something into gold, right? But if I remember, as technology progressed it was proven possible, but too costly for the product.
2) Canterlot and Ponyville are pretty quiet these days. Manehatten has some hustle and bustle, if you’re looking for it. And it’s not terribly far.
That’s not really something you pay much attention to unless you’re house hunting. Probably want to contact a real estate agent. Speaking of, I’ve never seen a pony real estate agent on tumblr.
Um… Don’t really know you very well.
3) First of all, thank you for your kind words, sir.
Moving on to business, I’m not much of a live performer. All the recordings I have uploaded are way better than I can do live; compounded by the time that’s passed since I’ve played most of them. You’re free to play any of them on a stereo or something, especially since it would be illegal for me to charge anypony to do so. They’re all just covers, after all.
On the other hoof, if you were to “commission me” to record a new track, you’d be paying for the work recording, not the song playing. If you did, I’d be delighted to play it live for you as well. If money’s involved I’ll probably be able to get a few others to join in too.
If you do decide to commission me, I would ask that you contact me with further information first, in order to confirm that I am capable of completing the job. Hate to be paid ahead of time for something I wind up being unable to do.
1) “Continuing the search for my stolen past” would flow better.
2) Well, if I don’t form the head then we can’t use magic, so…
3) Yeah, I guess so.
I assume you’ve heard of this whole unshorn fetlock business then, huh? I can’t even begin to understand it.
1) Ever consider starting a conversation at the beginning?
2) Hello Alternate Lyra! Certainly are a lot of us, huh?
3) Well, thank you very much for the praise!
4) Well, thank you very much for the praise!
5) After that last message, I’m thinking I’d be better off passing on that. Sorry.
6) Admittedly it’s been a while since I was a little filly, but I’d like to think a hard-working stallion-of-few-words or an athlete at the pinnacle of fitness would be more attractive than… whatever Blue Blood has to offer.
Fancy Pants isn’t that old, is he?
