But my brain isn't quiet. I'm stoned out of my goddamn gourd. Don't worry, it is just my usual regimen of drugs. That's how I spent a lot of my time now. Wasted. Doesn't really help with the pain much, but makes it a bit more tolerable. All of my drugs cost over 5 grand a month. That's what it takes to keep me going. I'm in somewhat better shape because of all of it, and there's a few bright
Finally found a doctor that didn't run screaming upon seeing my spine images and xrays. The team is coming together. Met with the neurosurgeon the other day, and he thinks I am an ideal candidate for augmentation. The transition is happening, I think. I still have to pass a psych evaluation and other steps, but I am closer now than ever. First I'll have the trial run; they'll sink electrodes into
Been meaning to this, and I've become the King of Pro-Crasty Nation. I kept wanting to report, but there was nothing to report, no good news at all, so I just... didn't. Sorry. Went a bit silent on my end. It just sorta happened.
I finally got a lawyer willing to take up my case. After that, things started happening.
To Discord: We know about the social interactions involved with the 3 pony types and alicorns, but where does your race fit in with all of this and how badly does it affect others around you?

To celestia: bit of a private question but how would you get certain "desires" fulfilled? how would you find a stallion who isnt sleeping with you just to increase his rank?
To celestia: bit of a private question but how would you get certain "desires" fulfilled? how would you find a stallion who isnt sleeping with you just to increase his rank?
Celestia: I have remained celibate for a very long time. Everything is political. I cannot afford to behave like Luna.
2218056 Wow, didn't know Celestia was that poor. To Sweetie Belle: Since you seem to have a habit of setting food you cook on fire, have you ever given thought to cooking something meant to be set on fire?
To Sweetie Belle: Since you seem to have a habit of setting food you cook on fire, have you ever given thought to cooking something meant to be set on fire?
Sweetie Belle: What a great idea! I am going down to the kitchen right now while my sister is sleeping! Flaming food cutie mark, here I come!
LF - Weird, lady, you come from a land of pastel ponies, some of who can fly, use magic, and others who with a combined effort can tear down mountains. You do realize that you are a pot calling the kettle black. *Notices the communication mirror is up and running* Righto, sorry about that. I was just having a small discussion with a friend.
So, Question eh? Hmmmm... Very Well, I believe that I shall ask this of Sparkler's herd. What are your plans for the future?
To Luna: how do you stay sane with all the changes to equestia? with everything being so political and alien to you?
Luna: Finding somepony like Barley helps. He's old fashioned. He knows what is best in life. To drink your enemies, see them emptied before you, and to hear the lamentations of the empty bottles!
to Bucky's parents: how is the political and financial issue you are sure to have treating you? what do you plan to do to stay where you were?
Canterlot might be burning right now, but this little peasant uprising will be put down and we will be fine, just as we always have. Government will be restored and the fear will be put back into those filthy little servile wretches. When we institute penalties for this disobedience, we will be wealthier than ever before.
Okay, Sorry about the unfocused question. I wasn't able to dive into the parts of my mind where the darker questions reside. So, going with this question I am directing it to Bucky.
Bucky, I'm sure that Pony history is full of circumstances where dark and terrible things had to be done in order to bring about peace. I'm even sure that Celestia and Luna both have blood on their hooves to achieve the peace that resides over most, and I mean most, of Equestria today.
That said, if it came down that you had to, absolutely had to make another example out of a pony - let's say that they did something beyond terrible perhaps they threw a rival's foal, or one of your own foals, to the eagles in order to save their own skin - would you do it?
That said, if it came down that you had to, absolutely had to make another example out of a pony - let's say that they did something beyond terrible perhaps they threw a rival's foal, or one of your own foals, to the eagles in order to save their own skin - would you do it?
Bucky: I would try to resolve the situation without serious harm or taking of a life.
Even if it meant freezing everything around me solid for a one mile radius and then carefully sorting everything out.
Celestia: Did you build the Castle in Canterlot as a direct action from the royal treasury, or did you just save up a few centuries' royal pay-check to have it built? I can imagine it being a high-paying job being administrator to your little ponies... not to mention raising the sun every day. I suppose it would be rude of me to ask your personal income...
Which member of Bucky's herd scares you the most, and why?
Keg Smasher: The grey mare. She's broody and she stinks of pegasus stink. Which means if she's angry she's going to be made of fecking stone if she comes at you. You can't fight what you can't hurt.
To Keg, Duke of Shell, Lord of the Northlands, and Leader of its ponies... Wait sorry I might be saying a bit much... Anyway, Keg, I realize that you are a determined leader and will do what you have to in order to protect and serve your ponies, but is there a line that even you won't cross in order to keep the peace?

Celestia: This used to be Canterhorn Fortress long ago. It has since been expanded and keeps growing over time.
but is there a line that even you won't cross in order to keep the peace?
Keg Smasher: If I have to, I'll lay waste to the current generation and raise the foals myself. Money is coming. I could pay for nannies and caretakers if I had to. Ponies need to understand that they need me far more than I need them.
Bucky: If you, Berry, and Barley worked together with the ponies on the isles in making booze, do you think anypony else in the world could beat what you made?
Bucky: If you, Berry, and Barley worked together with the ponies on the isles in making booze, do you think anypony else in the world could beat what you made?
The Isles already make the best in the world. Nopony knows why...

DEAR SWEET CELESTIA THAT'S CARROT TOP'S CARROT CAKE!!!!!'
Okay, while she's busy gorging herself, and not screwing with the circuits of time, back to the questions.
Celestia, I have a question for you, and actually for Twilight as well. I'm doing some research, and I feel that the both of you could shed a little light on the subject. My Question is about King Sombra. How powerful was he, and what was he like before he became a tyrant?

Celestia: He was Starswirl's equal in magical power. He was a devoted guardian and a good husband to Princess Platinum. At some point, he crossed a line, just before he lost his horn. His horn cracked, and he was crippled for quite some time. Princess Platinum kept him alive somehow. His magic went bad for a time after that. And then he went bad. He experienced some very trying times in his life and he failed to hold up to the pressure. He believed the only way to keep what he loved safe was to destroy everything around him and become a terrible conqueror. He became terribly possessive. It was sad to watch him fall.
He was quite distraught when he accidently killed the one he loved.It was by accident of course. He didn't mean to. He went utterly mad shortly thereafter.
'That *belches and farts loudly* sounds terrible!'
Do I need to remind that you different species different sets of manners?
'I was letting you know how good that cake was! Say, can I have a turn at this thing?'
I don't think that's a good idea.
'Why? Are you saying that you're ashamed that I'm your friend?'
No.
'Why then?'
Because you broke the communication mirror last time.
'That was an accident. I seriously thought that it was fine to give that pony a piece of cake.'
It's a mirror. It's their image, not them, they couldn't get that piece of cake if they wanted to. Even a near deity level Alicorn like Celestia couldn't get a piece of this cake through that mirror. Hell, even the Doctor couldn't do it and he has a sonic screwdriver!
'The doctor, the doctor, all of the time you talk about him.'
He's a good man, and a good stallion, it's hard to explain.
'please let me ask a question!'
Fine! go ahead and ask your question.
'Yay!!!! Hi! Honey Cake here. So, my question is to Derpy. Derpy, from what you've seen how close is the flock on the Isle? Are they as close as the flock back in Ponyville?'
That was your question?
'Yeah'
Really? No offering them cake, no asking the Princesses what's the weirdest thing they've done with cake, and no asking anyone to tell Pinkie Pie that someone's found her emergency food stash that she keeps in the Starswirl section of the Canterlot Royal library. You just wanted to ask that.
'Yep'
Okay, officially you are the weirdest person/pony I've ever known.

2218088
That isn't exactly specific.
2218088
As a herd: Get to know one another and set boundaries.
Sentinel: Outside of rats and (I assume) fish, what other kinds of meat do you/have you eaten?
Thistle: Do you have feeling in your mane and tail or can it be cut like land ponies'? Is it edible to ponies?
(Ok that was two questions but they're closely related.)
To Luna: how do you stay sane with all the changes to equestia? with everything being so political and alien to you?
2218105
Sentinel: I eat bugs when I can catch them, they are crunchy and good. I've eaten frogs. I like frogs.
2218109
Thistle: I feel every inch! Nibble my mane or my tail and I'll take a bite out of you!
to Bucky's parents: how is the political and financial issue you are sure to have treating you? what do you plan to do to stay where you were?
2218110
Luna: Finding somepony like Barley helps. He's old fashioned. He knows what is best in life. To drink your enemies, see them emptied before you, and to hear the lamentations of the empty bottles!
Discord: If it ever came up, do you know if you are, uh, compatible with ponies?
2218118
Canterlot might be burning right now, but this little peasant uprising will be put down and we will be fine, just as we always have. Government will be restored and the fear will be put back into those filthy little servile wretches. When we institute penalties for this disobedience, we will be wealthier than ever before.
2218129
Discord. I am compatible with anything! Plus, I can turn into a pony.
2218133 have you ever thought about "Getting with" celestia?
Okay, Sorry about the unfocused question. I wasn't able to dive into the parts of my mind where the darker questions reside. So, going with this question I am directing it to Bucky.

Me? No.

Dear Keg Smasher,
Which member of Bucky's herd scares you the most, and why?
2218158
Fluttershy would never forgive him if he answered that.
Celestia: Did you build the Castle in Canterlot as a direct action from the royal treasury, or did you just save up a few centuries' royal pay-check to have it built? I can imagine it being a high-paying job being administrator to your little ponies... not to mention raising the sun every day. I suppose it would be rude of me to ask your personal income...

The Isles already make the best in the world. Nopony knows why...
To Fluttershy: For being a rather quiet and unassuming pony, how do your pegasus manners affect others?
2218235
Fluttershy: Oh, I have terrible manners... other pegasi make fun of me. Except for Rainbow Dash, because we're friends.
Farting the shower when I am all alone feels good though.

Bucky: Any plans to toughen up Pina?
2218309
Bucky: She doesn't need to toughen up, she needs comforting. She's a foal. Her heart is tender.
Bucky: Agreed but you have floors and carpets to worry about.
2218321

Thistle: Would you ever want to marry into Bucky's herd when you grow up?
2218348
Thistle: I AM GROWN UP YOU OAF!
To think you eat bugs with that mouth!
2218359
Who what?
Sentinel eats bugs. I don't know whom you are referring too.
Mistyped. My apologies, Thistle.
I meant to ask that marrying into the herd question of Sentinel.
