Hello, and congratulations for being on Tumblr for five years and still going strong. I loved your blog ever since I found it so this is why I feel like I should give you this as a token of my appreciation, thanks for everything and keep on blogging.

Also if you ever want to request me to do something either with my normal artwork or with flash puppets then please do not hesitate, thanks and hope you have an enjoyable party!

Lyra: Hey thanks! I don’t know about going strong, but I’m not done here yet!

Tootsie: Can I dye my hooves like that?!

Bon-Bon: No.

kappathekirin:

Thank you Easyfox (Fizzyanswers) and goggles5150(NSFW) for the asks.

Soon everyone in Ponyville will have a trendy ‘chair’.

Lyra: Lyra; trendsetter once again.

Bon-Bon: You didn’t do anything.

Tootsie: Wee~!

Bon-Bon: Stop leaning in that chair, Liza! You’re gonna fall over and hurt yourself!

1) Wow! Thanks! Gosh it’s been a while since I’ve got a message like this. Sometimes I feel like nopony really cares anymore.

But yeah! Thanks!

2) Lyra: I can do a rear hoofstand for days, but I can’t do a fore-hoofstand.

Bon-Bon: I can! It’s easy! Tada!

Lyra: That’s great, earth pony.

Tootsie: I can do one too! TA-DA!

Lyra: What? But you’re a-

Bon-Bon: Ou! One-hooved!

Tootsie: Me- Woah. Me too!

Bon-Bon: Good job, Liza!

Lyra: I can see when I’m not needed.

Bon-Bon: One-hooved pushups! Liza do not try this.
Tootsie: Okay!
Bon-Bon: One! Two! Three! Fo-

1) [Sounds of Laughter]

Bon-Bon: Oh go dunk your head…

2) I’d heard the word before. Is it just sped up house/trance? That’s kinda weak.

3) Lyra: I do have a little kickstand up there with my horn, don’t I? By all accounts it should be easy, especially considering how big pony’s heads are. But no, I can’t.

Bon-Bon: I have in the past, and I’m sure I could now, but I’m not going to risk neck injury over it.

1) My online buddy insists that pikachu in that new detective game needs to be voiced by Danny DeVito. I can’t argue.

2) I haven’t, but without any prior knowledge I’m positive they’ve done Magic Pengel. Tell me I’m wrong.

3) Lyra: I feel I’d be closer to Bunnie.

Tootsie: Can I be Sally?

Lyra: Pfft. You can be Antoine.
Tootsie: E~w!
Lyra: Oh hush; you’ve never even seen the show.

4) Without further knowledge, I couldn’t say. From what I found on it though, it looks like a point-and-click adventure game. Not my cup of tea. So feel free to spoil it for me to elaborate on “dark”. I’ll censor it if I gotta when I reply.

5) Lyra: Crotch boobs are ridiculous enough. I draw the line at snake boobs.

Tootsie: Boo~bs!

Lyra: Stop making me out to be a bad influence! You know better!

???: Ah! Bonnie! So good of you to finally grace us with your presence!

Tootsie: Hi, Jacques!
Jacques: Salut, Lady Liza!

Bon-Bon: It’s a pleasure to be served by you, Jacques. This is Lyra.

Jacques: The maiden of honor herself-!
Lyra: And while I hate to start us off on the wrong hoof, your face is entirely too close to my face.

Jacques: Je vous prie d'accepter mes excuses. I am Jacques and I will be your waiter for this evening.

Lyra: Nice to meet you Jacques.

Jacques: How may I begin your dining experience tonight?

Bon-Bon: Well Lyra, if you’re done gawking at the menu, I’ll be ordering for the both of us.

Lyra: I can order for myself!

Bon-Bon: Sure you can. Soon as I can trust you to not order something cheap.

Tootsie: What about me?

Bon-Bon: Just don’t make yourself sick.
Tootsie: Suh-wee~t!
Lyra: Wait a minute! That’s not fair! She can order for herself but I can’t?!

Bon-Bon: She knows what food tastes like.
Tootsie: Heehee!

Lyra: Bon-Bon. Psst. Bon-Bon!
Bon-Bon: I’m only sitting across from you, Lyra.
Lyra: We have to get out of here! This place is even more expensive than I thought!

Bon-Bon: I told you not to worry about it.

Lyra: Why are we even here? Most of crap on this menu is more expensive than a week’s groceries!

Bon-Bon: Because you will learn what good food tastes like if I literally have to shove it down your throat.

Lyra: I know what good food tastes like!

Bon-Bon: No. You know what passable food tastes like. You probably know what okay food tastes like. And you might’ve even had overpriced food. But there is no mistaking good food. And if you’d had it before you wouldn’t eat half of the slop you do with a grin.
Lyra: Bet me…
Bon-Bon: And unfortunately the only place in Ponyville that serves good food is on the pricier side. I consider it an investment in your culinary education.

Tootsie: Do I order from the cheap menu or the expensive menu?

Bon-Bon: Your mother will be covering you.

Tootsie: Sweet!

Ribbon: It looks just like the pictures. Absolutely amazing, Tootsie!

Tootsie: Liza.

Ribbon: Liza. Yes. I’m just so proud of you!

Tootsie: Thanks!

Ribbon: I mean, you display such proficiency and skill-
Tootsie: Mom.
Ribbon: I can’t imagine you doing anything else!
Tootsie: Mom.
Ribbon: If you’re this good now, just think of what you’ll be capable of in the-
Tootsie: Mom!

Ribbon: Alright, alright. Go grab your things. I’ll carry your horticulture marvel. I’m sure your father will be delighted to see your work! Look Bonnie!

Bon-Bon: I’ve been watching her take care of that flower for the last few months, Ribbon.

Ribbon: But just look here! Where the leaves change color? The book says that’s very hard to do!

Bon-Bon: And that’s wonderful, Ribbon! I’m happy for Liza.

Ribbon: Oh you shush. I’m a mother and I’m proud of my daughter’s work. Nothing more.

Bon-Bon: Right… Can you hurry up and get that thing out of here? Lyra’s been sneezing like mad ever since it bloomed.

Ribbon: Really? Almost a shame to take it then.

Bon-Bon: I don’t know what got between you two, but I don’t like it.

Ribbon: She won’t like it either…

Bon-Bon: I didn’t catch that?

Ribbon: Oh-uh, our maid, dear. She has allergies too. I’m sure she won’t like the flower either. But nothing for you to be concerned with!

Sorry I haven’t wrote anything in you in like… 2 years. Lyra says that days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months and before you know it years have past and you don’t know what you’re doing with your life anymore. That might be an exaggeration. I’m honestly not sure.

I just wanted to write down my feelings before all of this just becomes normal. I spent more time than I would have liked with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon seemed kind of stuck up and proud, but Diamond Tiara was just this mean, controlling thing. I haven’t forgotten the ring of secrets she held over us, but it seems like such a long time ago.

After we came back from… our trip… They were a little nicer to me, but it was still all about being the best to them. Diamond Tiara, more than Silver Spoon, would do anything in her power to manipulate and blackmail others into getting what she wanted. Then this election thing happened. And suddenly everypony was ready to finally stand up as one against them. Against her.

Pipsqueak was the start, but it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders that rallied everypony together. Despite her threats and taunts, or maybe even in spite of them, Diamond Tiara lost. And not just a small contest, but something big. She lost her control. And she lost her friend. Perhaps it was wrong of me, but I immediately took the opportunity to hang out with Silver Spoon in her place. She was always so much more approachable when Diamond Tiara wasn’t around. We had fun. We played. I thought this was some huge change.

But then, Diamond Tiara. She told off her mother. Told her off in front of everypony. Just like I did… In that moment I felt like maybe she and I weren’t so different. As I watched it all unfold I felt like the entire world must have been changing. Diamond Tiara and the CMC as friends? They were the two biggest causes for conflict in the school! If they weren’t at each others’ throats anymore… Nothing would be the same! No more fighting! No more picking sides!

Maybe it won’t last. Maybe this is just a phase and everything will go back to how it was. But I hope it doesn’t. I feel… free. Like I can breathe again. Like I’m allowed to be a kid again.

~ Liza “Tootsie Flute“ Doolots

P.S.: The new playground is really cool! And so are the CMC’s cutie marks! I wish I had a shared cutie mark.

1) Because she thinks the government should provide equal pay for equal work? Doesn’t seem like that extreme of a thing.

2) Tootsie: I like the songs on youtube too much. Sorry!

3) These days you might want to clarify which castle.

4) I’m not sure how you being “mark” explains why you and Nightmare Moon are going to find me. Also that sounds like rubbish.

5) Shadowwalker9000, are you at all related to Powerman 5000? Also, being a baby you’re obviously new to this life, so I’ll give you some advise. Ponies don’t like you narrating your life aloud to them. I’ll commend your composition though! You spell very well for a baby!

6) I liked The Rock because even though he was a face, he was also a completely arrogant jerk which made him more interesting.

Incidentally, I also liked The Rock.

Lyra: Come o~n. You said you’d do it. You gotta start it!

B: [Audible sigh] … We.

Lyra: Are the Crys-tal!
Bon-Bon: Are the Crystal!

Tootsie: Gems!

B: We’ll always save the day.
Lyra: We’ll al-ways save the day!
Bon-Bon: We’ll always save the da~y!

Tootsie: And if you think we can’t! We’ll-!

B: Always find a way.
Lyra: Al-ways find a way!
Bon-Bon: Always find a wa~y!
Tootsie: Always find a way!

B: That’s why the people-

B: Of. This. World.
Lyra: O~f thi~s wo~rld!
Bon-Bon: O~f this wo~rld!

B: Believe in. Garnet.

Lyra: Am-y-thyst!

Bon-Bon: And Pear~l!

Tootsie: And Steven!

Lyra: Anti-Skub, of course. Skub is dangerous.

Bon-Bon: Dangerous? Skub is too valuable to ignore.

Lyra: What? I can’t believe I’m hearing this. You’re Pro-Skub?

Bon-Bon: It’s only logical. Skub leads to increased productivity.

Lyra: But at what cost? Skub is damaging to both our economy and environment!

Bon-Bon: It’s industry. It’s necessity. It’s the only real option. Nothing else comes close.

Lyra: And what about the side effects? It’s going to destroy the very fabric of our society!

Bon-Bon: If it does, then a new society will be built in its place. One that understands the true value of Skub.

Tootsie: I’m confused. What’s Skub?

Lyra: Filth scrapped from the bowels of Tartarus!

Bon-Bon: The future, sweetheart. The future of Ponykind.

Lyra: Don’t feed her such vile lies!

Bon-Bon: She needs to learn the truth now! Skub is everything!

Lyra: Everything wrong with the world!

Tootsie: This is an internet joke, isn’t it?

Bon-Bon: In a couple of years ponies will wonder how they ever lived without Skub!

Tootsie: You’re both weird…

Lyra: There won’t be anypony left in a couple of years if Skub isn’t stopped!

1) Oh heavens no! That wasn’t even her fault! And I’m way past the point of caring about those fillies. They’d probably be embarrassed about it if I ever ran into them and brought it up.

2) More complicated than anything else, I guess.

3) Sure! I mean, I don’t remember much of it. But I remember that spoon thing from the sound episode!

4) And to you! Although I’m not sure which Independence Day you mean.

5) Lyra: That already short list has become a lot shorter over the last year.

Tootsie: I get to hang out with my friends! And go swimming! And we play tag-!

Bon-Bon: And how is your summer reading going?

Tootsie: A~w…

1) I… Didn’t realize he played basketball. Or that he was a donkey. I’ve recently heard he’s not very good at Portal 2, though.

2) Oh give it a rest. Iris wasn’t even that interesting of a character. Not that Double was either. Really, the only good thing to come out of X4 was Split Mushroom.

3) Lyra: Yeah… I’m a little new to this I guess…

Tootsie: I’m fine, thanks for asking! No school!

Lyra: She’s doing The No School Dance.

Tootsie: [Audible Yawn]

Bon-Bon: When you said you were planning a picnic, this isn’t what I had in mind.

Lyra: Hey! You were the one that said you didn’t like me going out late by myself. Now I’m not alone!

Bon-Bon: Tootsie, let’s go home.

Tootsie: No. I… [Audiable Yawn] I wanna catch the badguy too.

Lyra: You hear that? So heroic and brave! And not covert and secret-keeping…

Bon-Bon: Okay fine! I’m the crazy pony here!

Lyra: As long as you know!

Bon-Bon: This is so stupid… If somepony’s breaking into the castle, they aren’t going to be so easy to find. Are you expecting them to just walk out the front-… Lyra. Lyra! Up! Up! The window!

Lyra: Holy crap! That’s not Twilight!

Tootsie: Oh my gosh! That’s them!

Lyra: Shh! Quiet! Twilight doesn’t want them to know we know anything!

Bon-Bon: So what do we do?

Lyra: I’m… I’m trying to make out who it is.

Bon-Bon: They’re already flying away.

Lyra: Shoot! But we know it’s a pegasus. Which gives me a pretty good idea of who it might be…
