Remember that time Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in a beaker?
Except... it wasn't a beaker, was it?
Time for Twilight to set the record straight.

Present Perfect, Princess of Pedantics
Ye are given ye upvote.
Twilight rambling internally about philosophy is always a win in my book, and the wisdom she tempers her eccentricities with is a good testament to how much she's grown over the seasons.
...I'm just going to come back in an hour and see if anything's still standing.
But why can't I get Ye Flask? Now I have to sit here and wonder why I can't get it without any fancy graphics to help. For sooth!
Also, Twilight would blow her horn right off her head if she saw how "right" people are online. Best if she doesn't know...
And, in a stunning twist, Moondancer possesses one of the legendary Flask-Getting Horseshoes.
An enjoyable moment in the mind of Twilight. Thank you for it.
Sheesh Twilight, stop being so reactive!
So this is why you needed the image.
>get beaker
Ye Can(not) Get Ye Flask
6178484
Great: now we have to wait four years for the Japanese version.
6178484 And you have to sit there and wonder why on Earth you can't get ye flask, 'cause the game's certainly not going to tell you!
How DID Lemon Hearts fit her head in there anyway?
Also, fuck those yaks.
Feature Box with 34 likes. You have the recipe, PP.
Rare to see Random without comedy — a breath of fresh air. And the philosophy is pretty profound, too!
In other words, thanks for a story that broke my expectations and left me satisfied anyway.
Could I do a reading on this, please?
6178840
I'll be. :O I ran afoul of featured downvoters, but it's in the shelf! :D
You can't explain thatIT WORKED AHAHAHAHA >:V
6178920
This is Random like Princess Cadence Takes One for the Team is Random: I tried writing something silly and failed. :B So the tag's just there to warn that this isn't my best work.
6179056
You needn't ever ask! :D Just link me when you're done!
6179174
Ok, thank you!
Awesome. Thanks for taking us into the mind of a well-learned scholar who uses a plethora of knowledge to answer a scientific mishap. It's just like Twilight to over think the simplest things.
Totally not relatable whatsoever.
Nope none. 
wow, great self control from Twily there
I don't like how you changed the final line. The way it's stated now gives it a comedic twinge that removes all the power of what it once was.
6179837
Comedic, really? My decision to change it was based on the fact that the previous version didn't sound much like a final line. It left sort of a "wait, that's it?" taste in my mouth.
6179996
The comedic power here comes from the juxtaposition of "Nothing made her feel" and "true statements... etc." The first part suggests that the second part is going to be big. Nothing else makes her feel this way... it must be big! But then we find out that it's the very simple practice of repeating true statements. The comedy comes from that subversion of expectations.
However, the final line as it was in the original fits with the very banal, yet very personal thoughts of Twilight. It detracts from the comedy--which, for all I know, you may want to keep--but adds to the intimacy of Twilight's revelations.
Does that make sense at all? Again, though, this is just my opinion. Feel free to ignore.
In case my name isn't evidence enough, you have managed to get my attention with that title.
So good
EDIT: Just finished reading now, and I can't help but think about Phoenix Wright. Great story though!
6180045
To me, it's more light-hearted, which I appreciate because I wasn't wanting to be all deep and morose. If others complain, I'll consider changing it. :B
(Also wtf happened to your damn underscore you're making me look like a jerk D:)
6180193
Well, considering almost no one else has seen the original, I doubt you'll have many complaints
Also, I've never had an underscore, mang. The only
reason I have it on the Writeoff site is because the site won't allow spaces.
You got an idea for a story where Twilight gets upset about improper use of a word and named it "You Cannot Get Ye Flask", and yet you didn't make it about the pedantic grammar of adventure games?
That is a crime against literature.
Ye can't get ye flask
oh man! A Homestarrunner- Strong Bad SBMail reference! The only place I have those was in FimFlamFolosophy's videos! You sir (or ma'am, just in case) get a like!
Huh. This was really quite good. Honestly, it completes the scene for me. Especially with the juxtaposition of the beaker/flask and salt/molasses confusion. I'll be honest, I'm probably not smart enough to get all the subtleties here, but...I enjoyed it anyway.
Having seen and enjoyed Big Trouble in Little China, I am curious where the reference is.
6180950
The chapter title. It's the only line I quote from that movie, and I quote it often. :B
I wrote a review of this story.
It can be found here.
Yes, I was among those who recognized that it was a flask, not a beaker.
YAKS SMASH
BEAKERSFLASKS!Twilight, the trio attach no value to it being a beaker or a flash. You can correct them over this tiny detail if you do so in a polite and cheerful manner as long as you don't come across as aloof. I'm sure they won't accuse you of nit picking.
This reminds of the fic Pinkie Pie Watches Paint Dry.
6185944
You're the second person to say so! :O It's high praise, though I think PPWPD is significantly better.
Hey, in case you are interested, I wrote a review for this which can be found here.
This was fun.
6178484 Get in the fucking robot, crap-for-brains!

This is now my favorite comment on this story. :D
I lost it right there
6284840 uh, I can't... I can't feel my laughing energy anymore today, I got a new dog and she made me laugh until I couldn't laugh anymore, and for me, I have to have energy to laugh that I call laughing energy. But the yak part is funny. I just need a laughing energy recharge, if ya read what I just wrote.
Very nicely done. I admit I pondered, but ultimately found it more amusing. I love your take on it. You really have an amazing talent for finding incredible depth in simple actions and events. May you never lose that.
6364912
Pshaw. :B But thankya.
6365848 It's true! You must come to BC again so i can properly sit you down and explain in great detail why the idea you have nothing to offer people is one of the most inaccurate things I've ever read. And I've read revisionist American history about the war of 1812.
Seriously, you guys have commemorative license plates...
Wisdom, there. I also try not to think too much about Yaks
6367751 Hey, it was, like, a moral victory or something, alright?
6671439 Uh huh. Was the moral victory when you invaded, we pushed back, invaded, burned down your whitehouse and left? Or was it when we both agreed one fort was worthless?
In seriousness, my issue is I think the war of 1812 was a giant pissing contest over who could screw over the blacks and natives the most.
...I may live near a famous battlesite and get sick of it. ^^;
6671876 Well, as a wise man once said, "War, huh, good God y'all, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing! (Sing it again.)"
6672051 Wholeheartedly seconded.
Oki. Doki. Loki. Great picture of Twilight's thought processes, but still random as hell.
