So, I was gonna do this thing where I didn’t post for a while, then ponies would reread the last post and see the last answer and then they’d be all “Oh no! You weren’t serious, were you Lyra? Please come back! We love you!

Only that didn’t happen… I update everyday, but I didn’t make a post for just shy of three days and nopony said anything about it…

I’m cry.

But you didn’t see me cry.

1) New Horseleans? Please be joking. That can’t exist. A good and just Celestia wouldn’t allow it.

2) A couple of years ago when I was with my last coltfriend. I didn’t trust him.

He was clean, though. ‘Bout the only positive thing about the guy…

3) Would probably get a less bias opinion from bear-bear.

4) Yay! What do I win?!

5) As long as you don’t call me Johnson.

6) Because we don’t want to execute them. We just want them to leave us alone.

7) I don’t think you do. I think it’s a want; not a need.

(( I’ll decide tomorrow, but until then feel free to suggest what you would like for this milestone celebration ^u^ ))

While all the other tumblrs are all

1) And why would I do that?

2) Well, according to Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, the good “neutral” ending is that there is no “reason”. The purpose of being is freedom in union. This doesn’t mean we have the right or even ability to do whatever we want, but that there isn’t one path set out for us to follow. We all possess the freedom to pick and choose where to go and who to associate with.

If you’re looking for a reason to live, look inward and create a reason. Do you want to gain? Do you want to help others? Do you want to experience? Do you want to cause change? These are all possible, though scaled depending on your resources or other limitations.

I personally live for the experience. It’s simple and only requires as much from you as you’re willing to put forth, but it works. There’s always more to see and do.

3) Did you fall on your head? There’s already tons of Lyras!

4) Like, the planet? I think Princess’ Celestia and Luna could just move the planet back.

5) She didn’t say they couldn’t sing. She said the song wasn’t very good.

6) No. I had to stay with Bon-Bon and Tootsie. Krastos came over, though. We had a quiet evening together.

7) Yes! [omitted] yes! HA! Ha ha! I [omitted] win! This tumblr is over! I’m the winner! I win all the things! HA! Ha ha ha ha ha~!

1) It took him a solid thirty seconds to even start his attack! I could have defeated him in that time!

2) That doctor’s a quack. That’s like telling somepony who’s addicted to ketchup to eat more ketchup.

3) Uh huh… Well, thanks for the warning.

4) We haven’t yet. We pushed back the gift giving because I was sick for so long. But I’m almost done! I made this one!

5) Let me just pause you right there at the beginning: “Something will be done because it should be done,” is not an argument.

As for the rest, I could argue, but I’d rather agree. Your society constantly covers up information that’s recorded until a later date to protect those involved. What’s the difference? It doesn’t mean the information isn’t being kept, just not released.

6) No! No! It’s a place! I didn’t! You can’t tell! Stop! Please! Don’t! I-I don’t wanna get in trouble!

Also, Miss Princess Shining Armor was a nice touch.

7) Senpai! Uguu~!

I don’t even know what I’m saying. What am I doing anymore?

1) I’m such a nag that sometimes I forget when and who I’ve nagged lately.

Because I nag all the time.

Things are fine. Just trying to spend some time together before he starts on his doctorate.

Doctor Arctos.

2) Well I think he’s cute. I wonder if he’ll ever notice me.

That’s… That’s the tumblr joke, right? Senpai or somethin’?

3) Ya~y!

4) It’s supposed to be gold, and because that’s my eye, cutie mark, and magic color. Not that there’s anything wrong with purple.

5) Then my last name sucks.

6) Bon-Bon told me the song they sang at that reunion wasn’t very good.

7) … What? What is this about and where is it coming from?

1) Sounds like the plotline to an overrated narrative that’s influenced wa~y too many works over the years.

2) [This space left intentionally blank.]

3) That would be infinitely more annoying as the constant break and reestablishment of contact would be physically jarring.

4) Who would that make me, Lyra Bird?

5) Have you read this tumblr? If I knew the key to success I’d be doing it!

6) Wee-Woo! Wee-Woo! Wee-Woo! WA~H!

1) I wouldn’t know. I’m a lady, and a lady doesn’t pick her nose. How uncouth.

/Scrunchy-Face

2) Nope, that’s kangaroos.

3) They’re a group of the strongest magic-using mortals on the planet. Did you expect them to be sheep?

4) Thanks, Sonic! But now there’s a big black cloud over Hilltop Village!

5) Then it’s not a mountain, it’s a plateau.

6) Nope. Those came after we discovered your world. If there’s one thing you humans have on us, it’s music. You’ve all but shaped our entire modern musical culture.

7) Gonna want to see a physician about that at some point. I’ve heard it’s fatal.

At least it’s not lyme disease.

Okay, before it’s no longer holiday season at all, I wanted to tell this story.

Back in Canterlot, during the time I worked as an ambonic musician, I came upon some friends playing a game. The game was called Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. It looked incredible, so I bought a copy! I had over a hundred hours of fun with a truly challenging game. But when I moved to Ponyville, I lost my copy. I’d always intended to play through the game again, but money was tight so getting another copy was out-of-the-question.

Fast-forward to five days ago. Me opening up presents by myself because I was sick and everypony else was gone, and what do I find in a box labeled From Bon-Bon? Not only a brand new, unopened copy of Noctrune, the game I lost, but Digital Devil Sagas 1 and 2 as well! I was floored!

So this is me officially and publicly thanking Bon-Bon for a truly heartfelt and knowledgeable gift. Thanks, Bon-Bon! It’s awesome!

1) Humans live in an unfortunate, self-fulfilling situation in which your decisions in life are limited far more by finances than our own. And because they once were, they continue to be.

You’ve raised more livestock then the regions in which they exist can even sustain. When you kill and distribute them as meat, cheaply because of the sheer abundance, it fuels the industry to raise even more. Your global economy has created an inescapable cycle, one with a steep loss of energy in its transfer from produce to product.

I’ll never condone eating meat, but giving your life for an animal that’s fate was sealed before you ever even read this message isn’t going to change anything.

2) No. We’re not doing this again.

3) Thanks! Feeling better already!

Unfortunately Bon-Bon, Tootsie, and Sweetie are all sick.

4) Sure, but this isn’t about who you’d side with. Would you consider the other side “evil?” If a pony pushes another pony out of the way and calls them a name, are they “evil?” What if it’s a racial slur? If a pony robs from the rich just to try and survive, are they “evil?” Between two cultures with little in common, is “rich” anything more than an opinion? Where does “evil” begin? Is it in an action or is it a state of mind?

If you’re forced to kill me, are you evil? What if you secretly wanted to do it? Does that change anything? You had to do it anyway. Maybe you just told yourself you wanted to do it in order to defend your ideals of free will.

5) You know, that stuff you boil things in.

6) Historically true, but you don’t suppose that paranoia might have had something to do with the… you know… over a million Chinese civilians the Japanese forces slaughtered as they were being dictated what to do by their god emperor?

If not warranted or justified, you don’t suppose that maybe, for a second, the overreaction might have been… understandable?

See? Even your attempt to present unbiased history is biased.

Rarity, how in the actual Hell.

1) Well I’ve known Pinchy for quite some time. I’m been friends with Berry since I moved here. But more to the immediate point, I’m a substitute. Fillies and colts recognize me around town all the time and come talk to me.

2) I wonder if anypony has ever drawn fan art of Cheese from Foster’s and Da Cheese from Rocko’s Modern Life standing together.

Thanks though!

3) Look, just use the submit feature to send me a youtube link or something. Otherwise don’t get all bent out of shape if I don’t reply to your song lyrics the way you want.

4) No, that’s unsanitary. Just regular nails.

5) W-What? I’m pretty sure she isn’t. During their reunion a few ponies came by to help them raise a barn, Bon-Bon as one of them. But those ponies weren’t in the family photo because they aren’t in the family.

I don’t remember why I couldn’t make it.

6) My initial reaction is to kill the clown, but the thought occurs to me that I have no dire need to leave. Sounds like a party to me!

That’s why you’re still in Beta, silly goose.
