Ask Twilight Sparkle

[Brainstorm 4,112]

Twilight,

Things going okay?

[Mesme Rize 15,687]

 

 

There's no real reason behind it, and no amount of reassurances that snakes are safe is going to make it go away. The treatment for phobias is exposure, but I'm not exactly eager to go out searching for snakes anytime soon.

 

Twilight. I don't want to force you to anything, but there was something that you taught me. You once said that your friends can be a great source of strength, that can even overcome your greatest fears.

 

I don't know if you accept it, but let me be your friend. Let me be your source.

[Critical Mass 178]

I have a problem mostly involving this one

 

Should I fight her to the death, make ally with, or let the Knights and Spartans deal with her.

 

Point is how should I deal with her.

You defeated Tirek among many other things. I would say you're more than worthy to be Princess!

 

Hey did anypony ever tell you what a beautiful voice you have?   That song you sang about your big brother literally made me cry for real... And that says alot because I almost never cry. My heart is quite hard. You have the voice of an angel...

 

  ... I can't say that I've been told anything like that before. Usually that I'm really smart, more than anything else. Thank you - I'm flattered, really! Though, I don't have any aim to become a professional singer of any kind. That's more of Fluttershy's thing.

 

Hey, Twilight?

 

In a attempt to be like you, I got myself a dragon egg!

 

However, it won't hatch...

 

Mind poking it (clicking on it) to help it hatch faster?

 

 

It appears to have already hatched! If you need any advice on taking care of a dragon, feel free to ask!

 

(As much as it flatters me, though, you don't need to be like me.   Be your own pony! Or, er, human. Whatever you happen to be.)

 

Twilight,

Things going okay?

 

I would say that they're going all right!

 

 

Recently I've acquired the ability to solve friendship problems all across Equestria! Our first mission is really soon, something to do with a far-off town? I've never seen it before in all my days in Equestria, so I'm a little nervous... But with my friends at my side, I'm sure we can take it!

I'm not against making new friends to any extent, of course, but right now I really am not up for finding snakes to overcome my phobia.   I'd like to take my own pace at that, if you don't mind.

 

That doesn't mean your concern or offer are not appreciated. Thank you so much and I'll be sure to keep in mind that you've got my back. The same offer goes to you, too! If you need any support or any help at all, I'm always open. I will listen no matter what the problem is. I believe every pony is inherently good in some way and is capable of redemption, so it doesn't matter if it's anything bad; I'm the Princess of Friendship, after all! It's my job to look after everypony.

I'd need a bit more information to help with this problem.  Your description of her doesn't tell me much. Why are you having trouble dealing with her in the first place?

 

I'll try with what you've provided me, though - my first instinct is always to try to ally up with somepony and not risk a fight unless it's absolutely necessary. Plus, the benefits of becoming allies with somepony far outweighs the benefits of fighting them; if you manage to become friends, then you're able to call upon their help when trouble arises.

*Hugs* Alright Twilight, i will keep that in mind. Thank you.

That's cool. 

I have a few things to ask.

1. If the castle was open by the six keys, then, why is there seven thrones? Did the Tree of Harmony somehow knew that Spike didn't need a key?

2. How's Spike doing?

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

One more thing, Can I be your friend too please like that other person asked? I need a friend like you so bad...

[Brainstorm 4,112]

Twilight,

How come Sunset Shimmer needs a journal to send messages, but you don't?

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

Hey Twilight, How come when Rainbow Dash was acting so obnoxious in Testing Testing 1 2 3 you apologized to her? What was that about? If anything she owed YOU an apology...

[Brainstorm 4,112]

Twilight,

How's Spike been doing after what happened, is he doing okay?

Hi! What's the cutest thing you've ever seen?

[Cloud Strife 928]

I'm soooooo sorry, everypony! I've been so busy, and I haven't gotten the time in order to get to replies! As a result, I have a large back log of questions I need to get to here...

 

I really hope you'll be able to forgive me for my lateness! It really isn't like me to be tardy...

 

That's cool.

1. If the castle was open by the six keys, then, why is there seven thrones? Did the Tree of Harmony somehow knew that Spike didn't need a key?

2. How's Spike doing?

 

1. I have no idea at the moment... We know every little about how this castle works, other than the map's intended purpose. Princess Celestia may know more, but I'm not sure...
2. He's fine!

 

One more thing, Can I be your friend too please like that other person asked? I need a friend like you so bad...

 

Of course! Anypony can be a friend of mine!   

 

Twilight,
How come Sunset Shimmer needs a journal to send messages, but you don't?

 

Pardon? I need a journal to send messages to Canterlot High, too. If you mean messages within Equestria, I do need some sort of magic - either Spike sends it for me, or it's delivered by a mailpony.

 

Hey Twilight, How come when Rainbow Dash was acting so obnoxious in Testing Testing 1 2 3 you apologized to her? What was that about? If anything she owed YOU an apology...

 

Because I said some pretty mean things to her. Whether she was being testy to me or not, that doesn't excuse bad behavior on my part, especially toward a friend...

 

Besides, she was stressed out about a test that would determine her future. I can forgive her for that - I've acted worse, even turning Ponyville into a complete mess, over smaller things. It's difficult to blame her for snapping a bit, and it's not like she was wrong that my teaching methods weren't helping her in any way.

 

Also, I have to add that she did apologize to me over it.

 

Twilight,
How's Spike been doing after what happened, is he doing okay?

 

Don't worry too much about Spike! I know he has some self confidence issues, but he's becoming a better dragon every day!

 

Hi! What's the cutest thing you've ever seen?

 

That's actually a really difficult question! I think foals are really cute... As are some of the pets that Fluttershy takes care of. The baby Cakes are absolutely adorable! And of course, I love Owlicious.

Dear Princess,

It is a honor to be writing you. My question is how do you tel someone nicely you aren't interested? I have a real trouble with that. If you can't help, thank you for reading anyway.

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!

 

 

Twilight, as the princess of friendship, how proud of the CMC are you for getting cutie marks by pretty much befriending Diamond Tiara?

Ah- not interested in what? You have to give me specifics, I'm afraid, since it depends on the situation.

 

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!

I'm absolutely proud of them for getting their Cutie Marks in general! They've been working so hard to learn about themselves, and it's great to see they've accomplished that. Oh, but if I'm proud, I can't imagine how Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack feel!

 

[Brainstorm 4,112]

 

Don't worry too much about Spike! I know he has some self confidence issues, but he's becoming a better dragon every day!

 

I think Spike can do some real good for Equestria, he needs to feel more confidence.

[Brainstorm 4,112]

Twilight,

Were you able to tell that Trixie, Sunset, and Starlight wasn't as bad as they thought they were, just acting out on hurt feelings?

Copper: Hey, Twilight, have you ever thought what you'll do if all of a sudden, you and your friends couldn't use the Elements of Harmony? What would you do if it happened?

[Quiz Flight 277]

Hello Twilight Sparkle! I just was wondering uh.... What are your thoughts on Flash Sentry? Also, Why doesn't your castle have any royal guards, like Princess Cadence and shining armor, or like Celestia? thx!

Edited December 3, 2015 by Princess Nidra

[Dracu98 139]

I am honored to meet you, princess. Since I know your time is limited, I bring up my concern fast:

 

1. Do you think Spike will live with you forever? He grows older, and as we've already seen once, he'll want to know about his origins. You are basically the most important person in his life, and he knows nothing else than serving you, this is the only reason for him to live. But I am afraid this won't be enough for him anymore somedays. How do you think will things turn out?

 

2. I am confused about ponies ages. I thought that only the alicorn princesses would become thousands of years old, maybe they're even immortal, but on the other hand, the crystal ponies could remember king sombras reign just fine, even though it was at least 1001 years ago. but applejack was confused when she found out that pinkie has already planned the CMC's 100th and 500th birthday. and don't even get me started about granny smith. But before this text gets too long, I hope that you, as a princess yourself, can share some of your knowledge about the preferences of being a princess.

 

I'd be glad if you'd find some spare time to answer this simple ponies' questions. *raises hoofs* All hail the princesses.

[IsraelYabuki 446]

It's always a pleasure to meet you Princess Twilight. Or do you just prefer Twilight? Either way, here's a question. Do you still blush whenever you bump into Flash Sentry? Because I think it's kinda cute
