Where did you acquire the knowledge of HTML/CSS?

Asked by Anonymous

I’m teaching myself. Mostly through howtos and guides.

Funny how I taught myself how to art and a little bit of code because of these blasted ponies.

Do you own a fez? If not, why not?

Asked by discordsparkle

No fez. Because I’m a fool and keep forgetting that cacti look hot in fezzes.

So, why RariDash? (This is not me attempting to castigate you for your ship, but giving you an opportunity to gush and explain everything you love about it.)

Asked by the-lady-cassandra-deactivated2

Er.

Um.

*scratches head*

This may sound a bit self-centered (just like most everything else I do), but I fell in love with RariDash after writing it in Diaries. So on my ships list, it has an asterisk since I like the ship due how I wrote it. >_<

FunFact: Rumble x Scoots also started like this.

Canonically, it really doesn’t have much to back it up. I just ship it just to ship it. v_v

If you came home one day and found me in your bed, what would you do?

Asked by discordsparkle

I’d grab a large blunt object and bludgeon you because NO STRANGE PONIES ALLOWED IN MY DAMN HOUSE!!!

Actually no. I’d hug you because your cool. Then I’d strike you repeatedly until you leave the property.

((A friendly PSA that I’m still under the age of consent in the State of New Jersey until… oh shit today’s my last day. ._.))

Nonetheless, I still love all you anons. Even if you tend to set off my NOPE radar.

What's the inspiration for your art style? Looks very story book like.

Asked by waywardfoals-deactivated2014112

Basically, it’s the show style without lines. :#

More specifically, I was primarily inspired by the toy-pony style used in the BBBFF song. I also drew some elements in from South Park, and some of my old children’s books.

Though I love lineless art, I prefer sketchy and unrefined drawings. I think that it gives it a more lively and spontaneous feel.

Ever been a peeping tom?

Asked by Anonymous

Yes.

Was walking down a street in town with some friends when one of them noticed a college party going on in one of the buildings. We took a peek.

Boobs everywhere.

Which file type for animated images do you like more; GIF, MNG, or APNG?

Asked by Anonymous

I’ve only made GIFs in the past, so there’s a bit of a bias. Plus, it’s easier to make them and view them since they are the de facto file type for animated images.

I never heard of MNG. :v

APNG is nice. No color restrictions and better handling of transparency. It’s a high quality PNG, but animated! But since I use Chrome, that means I must use an extension to see it.

So yeah I guess that I like APNG better when it comes to the image’s quality.

Have you gotten any on fetishes?

(What a coincidence…)

Other than the whole pony thing, not really.

What question would you like people to ask you when you do TMI Tuesday?

Asked by rainbirdart

Anything, really! (Except for the obvious super personal stuff.)

I don’t mind the NSFW questions. But after a while, it gets stale and kinda stupid. Especially if I get the same question over and over again.
