When did you go to DR? And Have you ever been to East Brunswick? (about 20-30 mins away from plainfield if i remember correctly.)

Asked by Anonymous

I went to DR multiple times for vacation. Most recent trip was last summer.

And I’ve technically been to East Brunswick. Everytime we use Route 18 to hop on the Turnpike, I see the welcome sign. :P

How many other countries have you been to? Just Peru?

Asked by Anonymous

I have been to Peru, Chile, Canada, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.

How about those jelly beans that taste like popcorn? I've found them to be a love-it-or-hate-it sort of thing.

Asked by Anonymous

Hate it.

Ever try (or even heard of) bubblegum flavoured popcorn?

Asked by shadowdragonprincess

Nope.

And I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’ll like it. Not because I don’t like flavored popcorn (I actually love flavored popcorn), but because I hate the “bubblegum” flavor.

What's your favorite kind of pie?

Asked by Anonymous

Cream pies.

Chocolate cream pies, to be exact.

I want one so bad right now.

Remember that time you broke both your arms? How did you wipe your butt? (Or, more generally, what was the hardest thing to deal with while recovering?)

Asked by Anonymous

To the first question, I used my left hand.

To the second, eating was the hardest.

Here’s the thing. My right arm had close fractures on both the radius and the ulna, right next to my wrist. My left arm had hairlines on both of those bones. So I had a plaster cast on one arm, and a brace on the other.

For 6 weeks, my left hand was my dominant. And it wasn’t a good one.

Pinkie Pie's mane kind of loses something in your usual lineless style. Without the lines inside of it (as the show has) to show the curliness of it, it looks somewhat like a large blob on her head. Consider how you still had to draw lines in the curls of Sweetie Belle's mane, for example.

Asked by Anonymous

Hmm, you have a point there, Anon.

I’ll try to line the curls next time. ;3

Going by what you've said in the past (mainly about not wanting to be a super big serious artist guy), I wouldn't do it if I were you. Patreon looks like it's more for those super big serious artist guys who want to devote their lives to art. Besides, as you said you've got college coming up.

Also a good point.

You deleted all of PC's asks? I guess that means you never got the link to download the wallet.dat with 100 bitcoins in it, then? Oh well, it's gone forever now.

Nice try anon.

I downloaded it when I first got it. :P

Hey Cactus, I know your family is from Peru, but do you know your ancestry? I just thought of how cool it would be if you were descended from the old Inca Empire.

Asked by Anonymous

Both my parents are Mestizos (meaning that I’m one as well), meaning that we have both European and Amerindian ancestry. Mom’s side trends more to the Amerindians, and my Dad’s side trends more to the Spaniards.

Also, one of my friends is also Peruvian, and her mom’s family is descended from the Andes regions (whereas my family is from the desert coasts and ports). They probably have more Quechua/Inca blood in them than I do.

YOU'RE DRAWING MORE SPIKEBELLE? HOLY SHIT WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO EARLIER it's my favorite ._.

Asked by Anonymous

SpikeBelle is a good ship, yes.

And there might be more coming soon. o3o

Here's the thing about Inkbunny: It's not very well-known outside of the MLP and furry fandoms, and even then it's mainly used by R34 artists who produce one particular kind of smut. So both the artists and commenters are gonna be there for the same thing, leading to increased harmony vs. general-audience sites like DA.

Asked by Anonymous

I actually never considered this, despite being very true and kinda obvious.

And it’s true for many places other than Inkbunny.

Gracias, Anon.
