(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.)

IRL horses have even been known to eat birds whole when they're low on protein, but I don't know if Fluttershy would permit any such carnivorous behaviour among Equestrian ponies.

I had a picture to go with this but the longer I look at it the less appropriate it seems. But they are these pink and purple banded wool hocksocks I wear in the winter. Fuzzy!

Hmm... Well you know that Star Swirl the Bearded is alive in our age. I would love to have his autograph, but also to pick his brain on (and then I spent 5 minutes to come to the conclusion of-) pretty much everything.

I heard his autograph burns through paper, so you might wanna bring an urn to keep the remains in.

I do not have wallpaper up on my walls sadly. There's only mildew-resistant paint in the kitchen and bathroom, the rest of the house is stone and mortar. Stony grays and yellows.

Just the choker most times, I do occasionally wear a hat out in the garden to keep the sun off of me if I'll be working for a long time but other than that it would only be the occasional bracelet or earrings for social things. Unless you consider glasses an accessory.

(I'll listen to just about anything. I think a lot of people take me for a classical snob or a folk music lover, and I do love folk music, but you could find just about anything under the sun in my playlists. But there are some things I shy away from. I don't listen to super ideological stuff or very heavy music (like gangster hip hop or growly heavy metal, that sort of thing).)

I think Starswirl's autograph would take care of the firing aspect all by itself.

It'd be hard to keep the glass intact, though.

Probably when I've had a few to drink. I talk to myself a lot and hypothetical situations come pretty much nonstop that demand my attention.

I'm sure I could find a use for it. I have a tactile fascination for textures and smooth steel, cool to the touch can have its uses.

(In English? Probably 'thought'. Not because I can't remember how to spell it, but because for some reason the muscle memory in my hands keeps wanting to type 'through'.)

I've been making my own teas for a while, and I make this cadenza rose petal, cinnamon, clove and ginger root combination steeped with whole peppercorns  and cardamom pods. It's like a very herbal chai tea. 

If we're talking alcoholic drinks... That could take a while to respond to.

I have a barrel in my backyard with many of the planks missing or splintered being used as decor, but I have no idea in what way it was destroyed. It looks like someone had used it for a high-level explosives test subject or something.

So the problem with magic is when you are concentrating on a very difficult spell, if your concentration is broken while in the middle of a particularly crucial point of the spell- say, when a shelf on a bookshelf collapses because you've got too many things on it- sometimes that magic can be very volatile and do very surprising and hole-punching things to your roof.

I am pretty sure I may have given this answer before, but it would have been when I botched a spell in school and ended up a pincushion for a crowd of overgrown brambles.

If your bookcases' shelves aren't supported entirely by the books crammed into the shelf beneath them, you're doing it wrong.

I am not sure what that is, but if it's folding out the stapler and clicking staples at other ponies, then I would guess it's probably better than any other pony who would have to use it with their hooves.

I am guessing the one who is using the marshmallow cannon. Cotton candy is far more delicious a treat, and ponies like sweet things. If nopony's coined the phrase ' One pony's cotton candy grenade is that very same ponies own undoing' then consider it officially coined.

I suppose that really only depends on how you use that knowledge. If all you see is suffering and want, then you could give up there and think of it as a curse, but if you know how things will turn out then you could alter your behavior and insist those around you do as well for a better future. Imagine if researchers didn't have to go through so many trials to achieve results to medical tests because the one with the future sight could simply know based on based on changing elements until they see what they want.
