Answers after the break!

1) Well, this was the first time I’d ever seen Boscov with a fair amount in his belly. In the past he’d always drunk lightly. I’m happy to report that he’s just as sweet and kind as always, though a little less mannerly, as I’m sure anypony could understand.

2) She says to stop trying to contact her.

3) That’s your way, here’s mine.

Proper interaction with others, regardless of who, requires a specific subtly I like to call “Appropriate Escalation.” You don’t bring mining explosives to a knife fight, and there’s no cause to alienate sompony when they may not fully grasp the situation.

That’s not just kindness, that’s safety. Start yelling at everypony who rubs you the wrong way and you’ll quickly find yourself laying in a ditch, beaten and robbed. If you’re lucky. Want to know the fastest way to make yourself a target? [Omitted] off somepony willing to commit a crime. Then they have a personal stake in targeting you.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that you’re not invincible, and kindness is the best way to avoid confrontation. All you have to do then is balance kindness with assertiveness, so ponies won’t trot all over you.

4) Don’t misunderstand. I have no problem with drawing on a computer. That’s very different. An eraser can remove a pencil mark, but if you press down too hard you can’t erase the intention on the paper. And I’ve always been heavy-hooved.

I said to Scooc during one of his livestreams that I wish I had a tablet and he offered to send me his. I recommended a number of times that it would be better sent to somepony else, even going so far as to lie and say maybe I’d get one on my birthday, but he was very adamant about it. Eventually I agreed and here we are.

I’ll say it again, I can’t draw. It’s frustrating, but I’m still enjoying myself! And a tablet is much easier than using a mouse. I’m very grateful to him for the opportunity he’s given me!

As for other creative outlets, number crunching I suppose. When it comes to games that allow customization, I’m still a munchkin at heart. I revel in the opportunity to create a character that is both different but still useful. In cooperative games it allows others to play however they wish, even if they’re less than optimal, as I can pick up the slack.

5) I don’t think having a party thrown for you and having a bunch of ponies you don’t know attend automatically makes both parties friends.

6) I’ve only ever had fake mothers too.

7) I’m sure you’ll get used to it! I don’t spend a whole lot of time on it yet. I can only sit there and draw the same line over and over again for so long, but it’s still better than drawing the wrong line forever.
