So I finally sorted through all those flower pictures I took and set up a morning queue for them. I did them all one at a time so they’ll be spread out for a while. Enjoy!

Also.

Of course!

And I love your hair! I would be sad if you shaved it, but would respect your decision!

Okay, same deal as last year. These were the asks, there’s only two, but they’re pretty good. Sorry I don’t have more than this for the occasion.

If we came first, there must have been some kind of mass extinction. But wouldn’t humans have found a trace of us by now? And what about the sun and moon? On the other hoof, if humans came first where’s the evidence they should have left behind? Even if all the buildings are gone, where’s the subways- the landfills. Shouldn’t the atmosphere be littered with satellites?

I know it sounds like I’m arguing both for and against my own point here, but I’m just… I have this feeling something terrible is going to happen to one of us…

2) B pretty much covered that before. In fact, you were the one that asked about it! I was breaking into somepony’s house and he busted me.

That doesn’t exactly explain how we became friends, though. I guess I could try to cover that…

B: Try as in, dance around the subject? I thought the whole point of this was for you to tell it straight.

Alright, fine [omitted]. B caught me more than once. I [omitted] hated his smug [omitted]. Twice in a week? That kinda doesn’t work for me. So I begged and pleaded like I usually would in that case. Only… he took me up on the offer… And then again. Then things got weird…

B: Continuously catching and releasing a criminal based on a bribe isn’t exactly legal. So I changed the deal.

That was when I started to learn about how I could use amplification and manipulation for self-defense. B taught me. We sort of bonded over that experience. Eventually we stopped. We were never in any sort of real relationship, though.

It wound up saving my life. And, less than two years ago, I used it to save Krastos’ life.

1) You know? I don’t recall… Was something I played at a friend’s house. But then again I didn’t know there were games where being shot canceled reloading.

But it’s okay to not be that good at games. I’m not exactly “l33t” myself. As long as you’re having fun!

2) Your director’s an [omitted].

3) Now Strawberry, you knew good-and-well that B wasn’t going to accept anything you gave him. Why’d you even bother? Now I’ve had a basket of “not normal” fruit sitting in my room for four days that I’m not sure if I should be eating or not.

Also, I have no idea what you’re trying to explain there at the end. No mental image.

4) B: I continue to disagree.

—

Only got two Tell: asks. If you still want to send one, I’ll try to squeeze it in.

She’s playing Ducktales. I don’t need another reason to reblog this.

Big question with a big answer after the break. Lots of information, though!

Keep reading

1) Oh my gosh! Hi! How’s it going? How’s your writing? Not much has happened over here. Krastos is studying for his doctorate so he’s super busy. I’m just, you know, kinda hangin’ out.

2) Yeah, we drag our butts across the ground.

Because toilet paper is too advanced for us.

3) You mean the spy cams. Yeah, I know about that.

4) That’s not the pony way. And nothing is ever that simple.

5) I’ve never even heard of it.

6) Lyra: Like I was saying, Ever, no big changes or anything over here.

Bon-Bon: I’m answering questions now too! Isn’t that new?

Lyra: You want to answer this one?

Bon-Bon: Ew. No.

Lyra: Me neither.

Anypony remember this? Well I figured I’d do it again! Yes! It’s almost been 2 years since I started this tumblr! And while I don’t have much else prepared, I figure this is the least I can do.

I’m going to directly answer a question I usually wouldn’t. Think of it like an honesty hour/TMI type-thing (which I intentionally don’t do).

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:

• Tell: What do your eyes smell like?

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.

Last year I wound up answering all the questions that were asked, so the only choosing one thing is more of a disclaimer. I’ll answer at least one.

1) Wouldn’t you know it, this has been asked before. Answer is still an irritated-you-would-even-ask no.

2) I suppose being a parody would explain why it was funny. As opposed to some [omitted] like “ponies with hourglass cutie marks didn’t get their cutie mark in time.” I mean, what the [omitted]? That’s awful and hateful!

3) Yeah… I thought that pep rally went a “little” too well.

4) Sorry, I don’t get the reference. I get the next one, though!

5) Yeah, Rip. Now about those spec ops?

MATHS!

B: Consider your residence back under your ownership. Any animals that were once there are not any longer. No traces of any chemicals were recovered either. No obvious structural damage was reported, but if you find any it will not be covered by the Equestrian government as you were not a taxpaying citizen at the time of the incident.

B: You are not to be found in the sole possession of any unapproved creatures from this day forward. You are not to be found in the sole possession of any unapproved chemicals from this day forward. No structure under your ownership is to be found trapped or enchanted from this day forward. You are not to be found preforming magical experiments outside of designated, government-funded facilities from this day forward.

B: I can reveal very little about the operation and it’s results. Something happened, which resulted in something happening. The building and it’s surrounding area are now considered safe for entry. I would recommend, however, that you choose to live in a more populated area for safety’s sake. But that is legally up to you.

B: Consider S’s part in this over. No one ever looked into your report. Your claim was dismissed because your house was never confiscated. No one from Canterlot even knew it existed.

B: You are to tell me where you lived, and you are to maintain a vast distance from the location. I repeat with the authority of Princess Celestia herself, you are not to engage.

Listen to him, Strawberry. There are things that-

B: Not another word.

…

1) What’s fim?

One of the most interesting things about humans is how different they are. You aren’t hamsters. It’d be like if a show about cartoon dogs were all the same shape.

2) Hmm… Interesting. I think the answer is probably more complicated, though. The orderlies lost a war to her, right? She’d have to be self-contained then. And from this post; Defty Hooves doesn’t sound like one of the orderlies. Just seems to me like there’s a lot more going on. I just have no idea what.

3) I don’t think we could if we tried. Sorry.

4) And that at least makes sense within it’s own setting. But if your setting is a high school, how can there not be a single scene involving an active classroom?

There was one song I liked, though. That sounded like a real pep rally cheer.

S: [Audible sigh] Well, now that he’s gone, allow me to try and re-record this.

S: I, of course, meant no offense to you as a pony. You were merely preforming your job, as was described to you, and to the best of your ability, I’m sure. However, that does not alter the facts that lay before us. The very formation of the group you belonged to was a horrible idea, even for its time. It was unregulated and lead to a number of other, similar organizations as members came, went, and continued their work elsewhere. The repercussions of which are the subject that began this very dialog. It was a immeasurable breach of security and due to its goalless, unguided nature yielded little to nothing of practical value by its eventual and merciful closure.

S: It was a large expenditure at its time and a failure overall. By today’s standards, it was downright criminal (speaking from a legal position, of course). Tens of thousands of bits are spent annually to this day in efforts to recover the dangerous, inefficient, and sometimes incomplete spells produced and distributed during that time. I can only assume its founding and operation was a combination of misinformation and numerous oversights. However, that is not the subject of this discussion and I only add such a digression in direct reply to your notably defensive comment. I mean you no disrespect, but this was most certainly not “necessary at the time.”

S: As a potential legal witness, I’m going to pretend I never read that second paragraph, as there is very little contained within that is not incredibly illegal. It also does not touch upon the only subject I requested information on; the act of entering. You only mentioned exiting during an automatically activated emergency (which, to me, sounds like a fire escape hazard for a single resident). At this particular moment, I’m lead to believe your residence was seized due to the contents found within, which would make it very difficult to overturn. As vague as you were, these are not things meant to be under the ownership of a single, unregulated individual in an isolated environment.

S: However, either before, during, or after his rather large, loud, and considerably vicious rant, B relayed that he still required some sort of timetable for this series of events. Did it happen a month ago? Possibly a year? Several years? He considered this of at least moderate importance from his tone. I had difficulty following his somewhat unexplored line-of-thinking, so I myself cannot explain exactly how or why this may be of value. But, regrettably, I would consider whatever he may have in mind your most likely chance of recovering your home at this particular juncture. My condolences in that regard.

1) I read this thing once about this “inner thigh cutie mark.” I laughed forever. It’s so completely ridiculous, and yet so incredibly creative. How does anypony even think to make something like that up? I like that one because, while a little adult, it’s mostly benign.

There are some ponies that seem to think your world’s culture is comprised entirely of American/Canadian and that you only have one language.

2) But why a line of toys designed as that particular age group marketed toward foals? Adults I can understand, but why an age where most still live with their parents and have to go to school? For that matter, why design it around school at all? Don’t kids hate school?

3) Fortunately for me, I like first and third pony shooters. So even if it’s garbage I can still play it. It’s just the “period accurate weapon” ones I hate. I don’t want to fire an inaccurate weapon that takes forever to reload and keeps jamming. That’s annoying. I’m trying to have fun, not get an authentic experience for murdering others.

I don’t really play JRPGs anymore. I used to be really into them. I think the last one I played was a pirated copy of Etrian Odyssey 3. Which was okay, but the pace was so dreadfully slow. Very grindy.

The only sports games I liked were the arcade-y ones. I don’t even understand the more accurate ones. Why don’t you just watch sports if you like it that much? Aren’t there recordings going back decades? Or better yet, play it yourself!

4) Bon-Bon: Well, I’m certainly not trying to change your mind or anything. I was just giving my opinion. Being around candy as much and as long as I have you start to be more careful about what and how much you take in. I would never eat a single candy bar in one or even two sittings.

Lyra: I haven’t tried that, no. I can’t afford candy much these days so when I do I just stick with Starburst, Skittles, Candy Corn; things like that. There’s loads of them and you can buy them up in bags for pretty cheap!

Okay, so let me get this straight. You humans made a movie about a pony that goes to a human world. Only it wasn’t a human world, it was some anorexic dimension where everypony (or one or whatever) had disproportionately large heads, the arm thickness of a macaroni noodle, and boots surgically attached to their legs.

So it wasn’t a movie about a pony going into a world of humans, it was a movie about a pony going into a world of adolescent dolls that might as well have lived in a school. And this is all marketed toward young children for some reason.

I can think of no more fitting a response than this link.

P.S.: Minotaurs have hands. We know what hands are.
