Q&A Round 22 - The Answers! · 10:05pm Jun 6th, 2016

So, I put out a blog saying that I was doing another one of these Q&A sessions, and gave people two days to send some in.

~~Two~~ Three days later, and...

I only got 4 PMs. Maybe I should give people more time to send questions in?

Anyway, let's answer the ones I already got.

HB_DS2013

1. Geo (author), there are four Geos now?

Yes. There's me, the Geo from the Geoverse, the Geo from the Alternate Geoverse (where he gets shipped with Cheerilee and not Twilight) and the Geo from The People's Republic of Twilightlicious (which has nothing to do with the Geoverse at all).

2. Luna, if you control the moon, does that extend to the stars?

Luna: I control the very night itself, so yes; it would extend to the stars.
(Using her magic, she rearranges some stars so that they spell out 'Duh.')
Twilight (squeeing): Ooh, a new constellation!

3. Cadence, can you fight a pack of cazadores and deathclaws together?

Cadence: I would if I knew what they were.
John: They're creatures from the Fallout series.
Cadence: Oh. Well, maybe if you let me borrow that 'pee see' of yours, I could—
John: Hell no! Flurry Heart already blew up my PS4, so I'm not letting anypony near my last piece of heaven!

4. Twilight, does radio exist in Equestria?

Twilight: It does, but the range is quite limited. It's mostly found in cities like Canterlot or Manehatten, where they use it to entertain the many ponies caught in traffic jams.
Random Pony (from outside): IF I HAVE TO LISTEN TO ANY MORE OF THIS 'JIBE TRIBUNES' CRAP, I SWEAR BY DISCORD'S LEFT NUT THAT I AM GOING TO FREAKING KILL SOMEPONY.
(Twilight giggles nervously, then shuts the window.)

5. Spike, can your scales handle radiation?

Spike: Pfft, of course. I'm a dragon; I'm pretty sure I could handle sleeping on top of a radiator.
Geo: That's not what they— screw it, never mind.

6. Shining, can you imagine surviving two bullets to the head? With no armor or magical help whatsoever?

Shining Armour: What? Of course I can't!
Cadence: SOMEPONY GET ME A GUN!
Shining: Great, thanks for giving her another bright idea. First she sets herself on fire, and now this...
(He walks away, muttering angrily.)

7. Luna and Celestia, what do you think of space travel?

Luna: ART THOU TRYING TO BE HILARIOUS? FOR WE WOULD HAVE THEE KNOW THAT SPACE TRAVEL IS NO JOKE! IT IS COLD, AND LONELY, AND SAD, AND COLD, AND BORING, AND COLD, AND SAD!
(She bursts into tears; Celestia moves in to comfort her while giving you an angry glare.)

8. Luna, have you tried durian or jackfruit?

Luna: — AND FURTHERMORE, WHOEVER SAID THAT THE MOON WAS MADE OF CHEESE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE DUNGEONS FORTHWITH. WE BROKE OUR TEETH ON THE FIRST NIGHT THERE AFTER TRYING TO EAT A ROCK!

9. Pinkie, have you tried butterscotch-cinnamon pie?

Pinkie: Eww, no! Butterscoth Cinnamon Pie is my cousin!

10. Spike, how old are you in pony years?

Spike: Well, Twilight hatched me when she was ten, and she's twenty-six now. So I'm sixteen in pony years, but only four in dragon years.

1. What would you do if you or one of your characters in the Geoverse got to meet Slide Fortissimo [my OC]?

If it was me personally, I'd ask why he wasn't Doctor or Nurse Haywick.

As for the Geoverse, well...

Geo: I'd pay him to follow John around with a tuba.
John: I'd ask him to teach me some techniques for increasing my lung capacity, as I'd imagine playing such instruments would require a lot of it.
Ace: "You have reached Ace's message service. Please take a number, and I'll get back to you." (Number: 9424)

2. What do you thing is the best thing to do at a convention?

Hang out with friends and check out what's on offer. BronyScot will be the next convention I go to.

3. Butter or cream cheese?

Philly is cream cheese, right? Because I like it.

4. What is your favorite mode of public transport?

Have you seen the UK's public transport system? It's terrible.

However, I have to say bus... since it's pretty much the only one I use.

5. What would you do if you were given the opportunity to teach your own course?

Do everything in my power to get out of doing it, given that my social anxiety makes it hard for me to talk to an audience.

Scribe Scribbles

Who's your favorite character?

In case it wasn't obvious from my stories, Twilight Sparkle is my favourite character.

The Bricklayer

Just asking, but my question is what inspired that name of yours?

Who remembers MSN Messenger?

Anyone?

No?

Fine then, I will explain it to you as best I can. MSN Messenger was like Skype back when I was a teenager - fifteen years ago, in other words - and my friends and I would use it to talk to each other.

As well as Messenger, we also had Profiles on the MSN website — and your Profile needed you to register a nickname to go with it. The name I wanted was taken, and 'GeodesicDragon' was one of the suggested alternatives. So, I took it, and I've been using it ever since.

That's all for this Q&A; the next one will be in July, and I might experiment with a week-long time limit for sending your questions in.

Until the next time, everyone, stay awesome!
