Ask Berry Isthmus

Hello, my name is Berry Isthmus. I am a no-nonsense unicorn, I live in Baltimare, and apparently, I am the subject of this weblog. Anyway, let's get down to business. SERIOUS business. DISCLAIMER: Ask Berry Isthmus is intended for mature audiences, or so I am told. It may contain material that is too sophisticated for childlike readers under the age of 18.

Remember the anachronistic 20th Century Colts? If you remember Bananas Wit, of course you do!

If you look closely at the follower picture here, you'll notice several ponies that're not OCs from other blogs. These ponies are some of the retro residents of Baltimare that are each a quintessential essence of the decade they embody. They are Dink E. Gink (1900s), Ducks-Oop (1910s), Copathetic (1920s), Pearl Friday (1930s), Kicky Ricci (1940s), Bobby Rox (1950s), Groovy Loovy (1960s), Earth Tonette (1970s), Brashdancer (1980s), and Sunflower Tweed (1990s). Even though they belong to the past, you'll learn more about them in the future, starting with Dink E. Gink come Ask Berry Isthmus' 100th-follower milestone.

By the way, the designs of these characters are subject to change, so expect their colors, as well as their clothing and hairstyles, to be modified before their individual debuts. Why does it sound like I'm promoting a new toy line?

Sweet Disaster: Hello! Would you like to buy a balloon? Brutalewd: Not exactly. I need some ASSistance; you see, my plot is shot, and, well…

[berryisthmus]

Seen here are Applejack (Bounty Hunter), Banana Pie, Bo Diddly, De Writer, Derpy (Scientist), Doctor Whooves, Drako, Earth, Air and Magic, Editor Starbeam, FairChild, Filly, Flash Wind, Fleeting Star, Foodie Love, Gad and Zooks, Grape Sherbet, Helenita Lover Angel, King Sombra (Ex-), Kittyrinn Aiko, Lex, Lightning Eggstorm, Movie Slate, reversalmushroom, Rising Shine, Rosemary and Guru, Skylar Nocturne, the Student Six, Sugar-Maple Twist, Sweet Disaster, Teashle, Void Pulse, War, and Whisper Ink.

Well, that's everyone. Wait a second…Curlycue? I thought your blog doesn't exist anymore; why are you here? And why are all those other out-of-blog characters, for that matter? They all aren't following me, and most of them are from inactive blogs! I wondered why the park looked awfully crowded; who are these ponies? Perhaps you, the reader, might recognize them!

Also seen here are Ace Sleeves, Acorn, Aerial Aim, AeroSalt, Apple Bloom (Where the Apple Blossoms), AppleJack (Depressed), Aqua Marine, Archibald T. Manaford, Aurelia, Autumn Blues, Autumn Zephyr, Batty Bliss, Belgian Waffle, Braeburn (Cross-Country), Brutalewd, BubblePop, Chain Rattle, Cherry Umbra, Chocolate Mocca, Colorsound, Crescent, Cuddlecloud, Curlycue, Derpy (Lost), Doughnut Shop, Ella Elixir, Filmcut, Firefly, Flintlock, Frickle Frackle, Gargle, Guyra, Harvest Heart, Humble Pie, HyperBrony, Input, Insane Jack, Intern, John Sinclair and Bonnie Green, Lès Beyond, Light King, Literate, Little Emerald, Low Life, Lucky Star, Millie, Misfit, Mysticwings, Nada, Nora Fiala, Oshana, Peachy Pop, Pearly Whites, Pinkamena (Sadistic), Pinkamena the Serial Liker, Pinkie Pie (Party), PK, RavenScale, Razorloo, Ride Roughshed, Rose Palette, Rose Song and Artax, Sable, Salespitch, ScrapPaper, Shin Ashland, Sincere Condolences, Snew Pea, Steel Strings, Strawberry Swirl and Silver Quill, Sugar Blossom, Sugar Kisses, Summer Splash, Sweep Slick, Swift Mend, Timid-Apple, Virgo, Waffle Syrup, Yum Yum, and Zap Point.

After much research, I've verified the names of the other original characters in the picture. When I was composing this piece, I didn't have enough followers, so the park was sparsely populated. That's why I used familiar OCs from blogs that weren't following me--even those that're deactivated; in doing so, I was able to tell little stories and make a few inside jokes.

Hey, it's only fair that they're here. The Tumblr pony blogosphere wouldn't forget Bananas Wit, so I couldn't possibly forget the OCs of those who kept his memory alive.

I know this pony in the crowd! It’s my gal Fleeting Star!

So many ponies new and old in this one! So many great memories!

Thanks so much for including her!

[berryisthmus]

Mod: You're welcome, Code! This picture in particular--and this blog in general--was specifically designed to evoke memories of the 2010s in my followers! But know that this won't be the only time you'll see OCs from old blogs, and you don't have to wait for another milestone to do that! You can find these ponies of the past and wax nostalgic here on Ask Berry Isthmus!

Can we please be friends

Mod Wit: Hey, I gotta stay in character, y'know?

"Are you related to somepony...?"

((Eyyy, welcome back! You came across my mind recently and here you are! I'm happy to see you on my dash again. I've missed your work!))

[berryisthmus]

Mod Wit: I disguised myself as Berry Isthmus because she was a no-show at her own celebration.

((Hey! It's great to be back! I'm sorry for my sudden disappearance all those years ago, but I was really up against it! I assumed Bananas Wit would disappear into obscurity, but it seems that he's more famous than I thought! Anyway, now that I'm back in action, let's hope that I stick around this time!))

[aerialaim]

"I'm not even surprised..."

[berryisthmus]

Mod Wit: "Wit-coded"? That's a new one on me.

[berryisthmus]

What if you got rainbow powered?

Bananas Wit: [muffled] I'm gonna bust outta this joint Alien-style and be born again! HereIgo! Mod Wit: OH, GOD!! NO!! PLEASE DON'T!! I’LL BIRTH YOU!! I'LL BIRTH YOU!!

Mod Wit: Oh, shut up, you unhappy little accident. Bananas Wit: [muffled] C’mon! You gotta have an ultrasound; everypony wants to see Bananas Wit!

What if the museum was in you?

Bananas Wit: [echoing] Museums sure are spooky when it's dark, aren't they? Mod Wit: Berry Isthmus definitely dodged a bullet today; she had the right idea to not be here. Too bad my stretched-thin, stupid ass didn't!

[asksweetdisaster]

Accurate!!!!

Now I want a balloon like it!

[berryisthmus]

Mod: Then what's stopping you from buying one from Sweet Disaster? Oh, right; the whole "it's just a drawing" thing.

[berryisthmus]

What if you drank Minncare?

Bananas Wit: [muffled] Can I have something to drink? Do you have anything to drink? I want something to drink! Gimme something to drink! If I don't get some liquid refreshment soon, it's gonna be tummy tantrum time up in here! Mod Wit: Oh, I'll give you something to drink alright! And I'll kill two birdbrains with one stone too!

Oh my Gosh!

I found myself!

And Filmy too!

This is such a wonderful piece, so full of detail and fun stuff. Thank you so much for including my silly face in here, you're great.

[berryisthmus]

Mod: This is Movie Slate, not to be confused with Film Berate. Movie Slate runs a movie theater in Ponyville. Film Berate writes film reviews for The Baltimare Sun. More on that later--much later.

[berryisthmus]

Poof, you're now pregnant with Bananas Wit for 5 posts.

Mod Wit: [groaning] Great. Just what I need, a natal distraction. Bananas Wit: [muffled] It's awful dark in here…

i see you

[berryisthmus]

Mod: Wow, a real live scene queen, straight out of the 2000s. I'd say that they are a thing of the past, but the 20th Century Colts exist.

Mod: I'm just glad that the Student Six--and everyone else--had a good time in spite of Berry Isthmus' nonattendance.
