What's your favourite fictional system of magic?

That's a good question! There's a fictional series I read that allows its characters to perform spells based on the understanding of a language that wasn't used for communication as much as it was for spellcasting. Words of higher complexity are extremely difficult to enunciate so their mastery is a reflection of your ability to speak the language, I think that's pretty neat.

What's the one thing in all the world that interests you the most, whether abstract or tangible?]

Everfree Forest. It's Equestria's biggest mystery, in my opinion, and I don't see enough interest in it from the unicorns of the Royal academia, so it makes it all the more fascinating.

If you could do only one thing for only one person before you died, what would it be?

If there were one thing outside of Princess Twilight Sparkle's power that she would want most of all and I had the ability to grant it for her, that would satisfy that highest feeling of altruistic pride for me.

What's the best sculpture you've ever seen?

Occasionally on trips to the Everfree Forest, I've come across extrinsic statues of ponies with such perfect detail you'd think they were real...

As an unrelated side-query, exactly how long have you been studying the Everfree's flora and fauna?

 

 

 

Possibly the most important question out of all the ones I've asked thus far:

Dear @Sunset Rose,

 

What's your favorite fruit and vegetable, respectively?

I love strawberries and daffodils, even together!

Through the non-fiction section, about 10 years now, through me visiting in person, roughly 5. The first time I visited on my own would have been directly after I graduated from school, then I was free to travel on my own. I go probably once a month now, but I used to go all the time. The balloon trips down from Canterlot get expensive...

Is it... extending when it reconnects? I wanted to try this immediately until I realized it was impossible.

Say, does the word 'cockatrice' ring a bell?

It is technically possible, but you do run out of chocolate eventually, sad to say.

Here, try working it out from this less tasty but more geometrically mind-bending variant:

Some ponies have said they exist, but nopony's got a first-hoof account. It rings a bell, just not very loudly I guess.

Put it this way: those statues you found had a first-hoof account.

I have it on good authority that Princess Twilight ran into a cockatrice once, along with her butter-coloured buddy the Element of Kindness. In addition, that zebra who lives in the Everfree - have you met her? I think you'd get along well - probably knows enough about them to stay out of their way.

I advise notifying someone well-versed in undoing petrification spells about the statues. Probably one of the three aforementioned, if mainstream scholars don't agree as to whether they exist.

And - none of the statues were shattered, were they? Do tell us how things work out with those poor ponies, I find myself quite concerned as to their welfare.

 

 

 

 

If you were a generic junk food, which generic junk food would you be?

Which individual animal (not individual animal species, individual animal), whether alive or dead, is your favourite out of all animals you've ever seen or heard of?

I'll have to look into that. The Princess' everyday adventures aren't published for the public to know, but if that's true then I'll have to be even more careful!

I suppose I might be shortbread. Just for the color if nothing else.

That's a tough one. I do appreciate timberwolves for what they are, but there isn't a specific one that comes to mind. Ponies tend to see them as monsters, and monsters tend to be generalized.

I often wonder if Princess Celestia actually saw Twilight as a daughter figure as she grew. Something like this certainly makes me want to believe something like that- it's too precious to look at for too long.

Greetings, @Sunset Rose!

 

I was wondering: "Since you you are named after a flower, does everypony else in your family have flower-based names, too?"

 

Thank You *so* much for answering my question! :squee:

 

Hey Sparklefan!

My mother's name is Endora Rose, so I would have gotten my second name from her but my first name is my own. We are the only two in the family (that I know of, it's not a very big family at all,) that have foliage in our names. 

Thank you so much for asking, I really enjoy these questions. :D

Instant death or eternal life?

Costa Rica or the Seychelles? (Your choice should be based on the internal harmonisation of each term's orally-intoned phonetic pattern, i.e., whichever sounds cooler.)

Glitter or rainbow sprinkles?

Spheres or cubes?

Based on the way you phrased the question, Seychelles is the only correct answer.

Sprinkles are easier to get out of my carpet so we'll go with that.

Instant death means dying instantly, and eternal life means living forever but having to do so within your perpetually-waning mortal frame.

But glitter isn't even something any sane person would want to get out of their carpet.

That's circular reasoning.

It's weird to me that you'd prefer calculus when evidence suggests it would be geometry. :dash:

(I don't know if ponies eat fish, but it sounds like it would be pretty good. I'm used to sprats and herring and other small fish.)

Probably the P word, used to describe cats, cowards and certain parts of the body in a derogatory way.

'Distant motes of fairy-lights' used to describe city streetlights at night.
