I realize this probably isn’t the best time, but I have a story to tell.

Turn the clock back to 2011. I was fresh to the MLP fandom, checking EQD every day to see what new wonderous things bronies made today. In the Nightly Roundups, I started seeing a list of ‘Tumblr pony blogs’. On a whim, I opened it up, and soon every day was accompanied with an EQD visit and a check on each of the blogs to see if they’d updated. This was very early Tumblrpon, before the boom, so there were only a few big players. All I remember were a Pinkie Pie drawblog (that’ll be important later), Ask Surprise and Erthilio’s Ask Octavia. Veeerrrry early.

Holy crap, dude! You were the Blanks RP blog? That’s wild!

But there were so many other good ones from before that grimdark Pinkie Pie blog severed the community in half. Things were never the same after that.

Oh well. The sun is always setting, but it’s also always rising. There’s still work to do.

1) Can be pretty sure I wouldn’t.

2) Oh my Cels! You’re right! There’s weapons everywhere!

… I swear… The only way you’re going to find or craft a weapon is through channels that are carefully regulated. Heck, even every ounce of metal a blacksmith uses is carefully tracked by the government.

Best weapon you could muster would be to improv with a kitchen knife or a bat. And the gangs back in Canterlot used to do just that. Wasn’t terribly effective in the short-term. At least to a moving target…

3) I’m not going to scold your decision; I was there once and it’s yours to make. But if you have the time, there are more rewarding avenues than “the easy way.”

4) What’s a “video game?” And Portal 2 sounds like a prescription suppository for diarrhea.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I just finished reading about Dynasty Warriors 8 and I’m psyched. Huang Gai’s default weapon is a [omitted] boat.

5) 1, yes. I pirated it because I didn’t think it would be much, but it turned out to be great, so I felt bad about it. I don’t want to pirate 2. I’d like to buy it legitimately, if I ever get some money, to support the developer.

6) Are you going to just start bringing up everyone that’s ever lived? Because this line of questioning is kind of stale already and it hasn’t even started.

7) Sure did! Was a great show! And that was a good episode!

My favorite was the one where Megadeth showed up and they played Back In The Day.
