If you were drawing right now, what would you draw?
Asked by AnonymousI’d be bouncing between a Diaries update and some Apple Bloom sketches.
Mr. Cactus, when you started on the works that would eventually become Post Crusade, what made you decide to emphasize Apple Bloom's artistic ability? That side of her was presented in "The Show Stoppers" but then was largely ignored in favor of her talents in construction and later in making potions.
Asked by AnonymousThe Proto-PC works were written during FiM’s second season. At the time, there wasn’t any other theory for AB’s talent other than art/design as seen in “Show Stoppers.” Other than the Zap Apple talent theory, which I though was the stupidest theory ever at the time. (I still dislike it.)
Notice how I said art/design. That’s my future-proofing effort, and will be touched upon later in PC.
I never thought potions would become a possibility. But it makes sense because of a certain friendly zebra.
You aren't sick, are you? Did something happen?
Asked by AnonymousNope. This is a normal thing, kinda.
I have asthma, currently take immunization shots, and currently wearing braces. Asthma tests are annual, and immunization and orthodontist checks are monthly.
For some reason, all THREE of the respective appointments fell on the exact same day today. So I had to wake up at 8 and be on the road hopping around for 5 hours.
Mr. Cactus, if you see this, please respond. I need to make sure that the CMC cuteness today did not kill you.

Hey Cactus, what's your problem with Tennessee? Some of your fans are from there, you know.
Asked by AnonymousGood friend naterrang lives there, Anon. Just being silly.
I hold nothing against anyone from the Volunteer State.
HEY. CACTUS MAN. Do you read the IDW comics? Well, you better start if you don't. The previews for the upcoming CMC + Discord issue just came out and I get the feeling that this issue will be extremely relevant to your interests. (Especially Sweetie Belle. I shit you not, in this issue she's wearing glasses just like PC Sweetie Belle does.)
Asked by AnonymousWHAT
PROOF. I NEED PROOF.
Written? You mean possible ideas for your blogs, or more like fanfics? (I know you've written at least one, that old SpikeBloom fic you mentioned deep in the annals of your DA journal) Either way, I'd like to see them.
Asked by AnonymousIt’s a bit of both.
Obviously, WIP scripts for PC and Diaries are rather confidential. So no peeking.
But I do have ideas for fanfics and such. Many of them have been started but shelved for the moment.
An old one is a zombie apocalypse short story/comic about a mare with a foal looking for the foal’s parents in an abandoned city riddled with the undead and whatnot. (Lucky)
There’s also a sad ghost story starting Sweetie and Scootaloo. Need I say more? (Zero Days)
On the lewder side, I have a fic idea about Spike dealing with mares and their battle with the heat cycle. Oddly enough, it’s not a clopfic. It’s maturely themed, but there’s no sex as the focus. That one’s fun to write. (The Garden State)
One is a more comedic story about Rumble and Dinky trapped in a ditch for two hours and they keep trying to cope with each other. This one is a bit cool because it’s PC’s first official spinoff fic. (Diabetics and Detours)
On the note of spinoffs, Diaries may also get a companion fic that acts as a universe-builder. (The Immigrant’s Guide to Equestria)
There’s a lot more floating around, but too underdeveloped or secret to mention.
Mr. Ham, I've said it a few months ago, but I seriously do think you could draw anthro ponies well. You obviously have ideas on a good look for them and you are able to draw hands to at least some decent extent (see the various pics of Spike you've done). If you have time for it, could you give it a try? (and I know this isn't a TMI ask but oh well :x)
Asked by AnonymousI have tried a couple times.
But I struggle a lot with hands and the lower body. That, and I would have to come up with a new art style to make them work the way I want them to.
Maybe someday I’ll be able to draw a decent pose that’s worthy enough to be posted.
wheres the weirdest pace you've done the deed
Asked by AnonymousThe guest bathroom at my family’s house in Peru.
Humid as hell AND cold because desert winters.
0/10 bad idea never do it again
(I know it’s not exactly weird, but bear with me here. I don’t get out much. ._.’)
Ever think your sometimes a 'ham?' Sorry had to.
Asked by AnonymousI think I’m more of a chicken.
HEUEHUEHUEUHEHEUHUEHheheuhuehue…
What would the baby look like if the cactus and the ham got busy?

Roasted or deep fried?
Asked by Anonymous
No contest.
So, what's the story behind your new avatar? Is is some sort of football joke? Or do you perhaps want me to start calling you Mr. Ham now?
Asked by AnonymousI dunno. I was talking to someone and I suddenly decided to make my avatar ham.
Broncos or Seattle?

You can't just say that without showing us your bed as well. Also how old is he?
