Ask Lyra

1) I don’t know. Seems to be a popular interpretation with you bronies, though.

2) An open book? If that were true it would come with its own set of problems.

3) Alright, but could we maybe push that back to the following weekend? I’m not really having as much free time this weekend as I would have liked.

4) I don’t know. I guess? Probably at some point.

5) That’s ridiculous. No, of course not.

6) I don’t have one. That’s what the whole problem stems from.

Just a heads up that I’m pretty far behind on asks again and I’m sort of busy. It’ll take me a while to catch up.

1) No, I’m… Wait. Didn’t we already do this?

2) Oh, you probably thought I didn’t get it the first time. That’s alright. Generally you should give it a day before trying to ask again. I mean, it think it had been a day by the time I answered it anyway, so no big deal. I’m kind of behind on questions.

3) How I sit has nothing to do with humans. And no. I have a special independent interest in human culture.

… That has nothing to do with hands…

4) No thank you. Even if I could marry who I want, I don’t think it’s time yet.

5) That… That’s despicable. No. Not ever.

If I need to provide a rational as to why not, it creates a culture where judicial systems attempt to find reasons to give these punishments out in order to feed the hungry.

6) Well, Magic Johnson’s a pretty cool pony anyway.

image

1) Thanks, but after realizing that I basically asked somepony to say that to me, I don’t really feel much better.

2) Goodness no! Granny Smith is clearly superior! I would never try to take her title away!

3) Not really common, but yes.

4) No. I’m-… I’m…

… Shoot. I had a good answer thought out but now I can’t remember it!

5) Maybe if I was a spider. One exhaled drag isn’t enough to get a cat high.

6) I thought it was the Green Monkeys and the Silver Snakes. Anyways, I always rooted for the Barracudas.

7) Ordinarily I wouldn’t be concerned at all. But the fact you immediately defended yourself as being a girl without cause is a little unnerving.

Thanks, though!

1) Uh… Thanks?

2) Been alright. Not a whole lot going on at the moment.

It’s just calm and quiet for now. Which is nice. Makes it easier to keep things under control.

3) Why are you such a young whippersnapper?

4) I’m okay with substitute. I eat pizza with pepperoni-style protein slices.

Not really okay with the others.

5) I haven’t heard from Gilda in quite a while. I’m not sure which Twilight you mean, but there’s always Twilight “Danny” Sparkle in all her glorious tact. I don’t think I could have picked a better time to link to her page (I shouldn’t have to warn anypony, but I am).

And absolutely! It’d be great to see you again!

6) Well that’s not really fair. Unicorns and pegasus do physical work too. Earth ponies can do more without a break in nearly all instances, though.

7) Things are rarely so black and white.

1) According to the test I just took, ESFP. But when I looked up what that’s supposed to mean, it doesn’t sound right. It makes me sound shallow. I’m not shallow… am I?

2) I’m not very good at riddles. I just always want to look them up.

3) I’d be confused, seeing as we can’t get married under Equestrian law.

4) If you flip a coin on thick carpet, there’s a very good chance it’ll land on it’s side.

5) Then I’d be part seapony on my father’s side of the family. What if my cutie mark wasn’t a lyre? Then it’d be something else. What if I wasn’t green? Then I’d be a different color.

6) Excuse you. I happen to still be looking for a full-time job.

And I’m not trying to say Boscov should do everything, but if he can cook why should I? I can clean fine.

Well everything but dishes. That always takes me too long.

1) Precious booty.

2) There was this PS2 game called Everquest Adventure or something. I didn’t play it much, because I had limited access, but I made a bard named Coach Z.

3) More than I’d care to think about. I learned pretty quickly not to get too close to anypony. At least until I got out of that mess.

4) At first, I didn’t even know what you were talking about.

But yeah, I guess I am. Why?

5) I mentioned it before, but I wasn’t aware that Princess Celestia had ever fought at all. I thought she had taken a vow of non-violence or something.

So, I have no idea.

6) I must not “get it.” It doesn’t sound like much to me.

7) Can you just hoof them over instead? I’d rather not have to pay for damages to the house. It might not even wind up being worth it.

1) … Huh?

2) If I find any money in the sofa, that would have to go toward paying bills.

3) It didn’t before you walked in.

So get out.

4) Why sure! I can’t imagine how this could go wrong!

5) Yes?

6) Ye~s?

7) Otacon! Shut Up!

1) I’m sure you’d be shocked to hear that I don’t approve. Even if their songs or albums are less than appropriate, band names at least need to be acceptable to bring up in polite conversation.

2) I don’t have a surname. Evidently other Lyras do.

3) Many times.

4) I’m a little finicky with my mane. You can brush the back if you really want to.

5) Recently? Nothing I guess. But when we have clean, renewable power, why would we ever want to leave the planet?

6) I… don’t really have any desire to cook. I guess it couldn’t hurt to try learning again.

7) The original. I don’t particularly favor either, but the other one just sounds like a dance mix; they’re pretty common and carry so many similarities between one another that the flavor of the original piece is often lost.

Also, I’m not linking the remix. The accompanying video is sort of violent.

image

1) I love her like I love her. I don’t know how to describe it.

2) No. You can hug me, but if your hooves start to wonder I'ma drop you like a bad habit.

3) Characterized by swearing? That sounds a little stereotypical, your alternate majesty. In fact, a short search later and it just sounds like a derogatory term all together.

4) I don’t have any money.

5) What does the sign say?

6) Mare right’s activists? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Do you have the right plane of existence?

I’m all for equal rights, though. I’m right there with you, stud.

image

1) Depends on opinion, I suppose.

2) You got me… But I’m only admitting to it because they’re all gone! Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

3) You have to be charismatic and your presence has to be desired at the location in question.

You know that line “The party don’t start till I walk in?” That’s fashionably late. There was a gathering. You show up. Now it’s a party. If you aren’t fashionably late, you just miss the party.

4) Okay.

5) What’s this “of it’s time” garbage? It’s still one of the best!

Also, I have no idea about the casting while moving thing. Generally the faster you’re going the harder it is to cast, so it would certainly be a challenge.

Also, favorite song time!

6) Sound advice. I think studies show that eight is closer to the maximum hours of sleep you should get a day, though.

7) Uh… Photos of the chocolate truffles?

1) I’m not sure I understand. Big Macintosh is pretty red all over, though.

2) Generally because you subconsciously take for granted that a phenomenon you elevated from days past will remain true throughout the ages. When confronted with irrefutable evidence to the contrary… it makes you crai-crai.

3) There’s just lots of Lyras. There’s also Lyras from alternate dimensions. I don’t think there is a real Lyra.

I mean, I don’t really question it. It’s just a thing. Always has been.

4) I did. See seemed to enjoy it, but I think she was just being polite. Her pallet is more… discerning.

5) No, you may not. I find your fixation with my horn disturbing.

6) I don’t know, yesterday was mighty fine.

7) There’s nothing wrong with it, though that’s a psychological association you might want to conquer at some point. That could be socially debilitating around here.

image

1) Nothing any more wrong than your traditional body modification, at least in principle. I just… I don’t know. I-I just don’t know.

2) I don’t agree to that. I think misunderstandings are reacted to more harshly than they should be.

3) I have no idea how, but I never paid enough attention to that song to realize that’s what they were spelling! I feel like a complete idiot.

4) That’s not very nice.

5) ooOOoo. This doesn’t sound like the usual mindless, boring, getting-to-know-you chit-chat.

6) Oh. You know. Things.

Private things.

7) You’re losing the crowd. Try something different.

1) I don’t know. Something like twenty? What I post is a pretty good estimation of what I got that day, unless I’m behind. Which I’m presently not!

2) Changing my memories isn’t suddenly going to fix anything.

3) “I could get to the top with my eyes closed!”

“Yeah! But could you do it with your legs closed?”

4) Well you’re certainly not getting invited to the next dinner party.

5) The same reason you don’t cheat in multiplayer games. You ruin everypony else’s fun and no pony wants you around anymore.

A little crude, but the same basic idea.

6) I have no idea. Maybe ask Colgate? Or was it Romana? … Minuette? Whatever she’s going by these days.

image

1) Okay! Any ideas in mind?

2) Grr! I’m big tough pony! Rawr! I’m gonna kill you dead!

3) The thought of my entire world being just a dream creeps me out. Pyramid Head is just a character from a video game.

4) That depends, are you the fluffy pony that’s already sent me a few messages?

If not, hey! There’s this fluffy pony that’s sent me a few messages!

5) Fish are friends, not food.

6) Sounds like you need hangover-prevention lifestyle changes.

Blackouts are bad, mmkay?

7) If the lions haven’t eaten in three years, they’re dead.
