Ask Lyra

Jul 22

[redacted]yesrainbowdash answered your question: 1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’…
I always figured B was farther away. If he’s not, you might need more indication that it’s him since this is transcribed

kittysneezes answered your question: 1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’…
a bit confusing; I figured B was always smaller (unless he was clearly going solo), but sometimes you can figure from context. Sometimes.

jmg1234 answered your question: 1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’…
no, i could tell.

Okay. Wow. If anypony couldn’t easily tell right away which of us was talking, everytime, without fail, then I gotta do something. I don’t want anypony thinking I’m rude because of him.

B: It’s your fault for caring.

So, as you can see, B will now have a bold B: tag before his lines. I’ve also added the Bee of CUE tag to every instance since he started hanging out where he speaks so if you were ever confused or something sounded out of place you can go ahead and check to see who was talking.

In other news. I’ve had my computer wiped and switched graphics cards and my computer is still crashing (I’m in safe mode right now). I don’t know what’s wrong with it, my computer friend doesn’t know what’s wrong with it, and I don’t have the money to replace it, let alone play “guess which part is broken.” So… I’m sort of dead in the water here. I can’t do drawings. I can’t record music. I can’t even listen to anything with sound in safe mode.

All I can do is reply to messages once I turn this thing off and switch to my laptop (can’t do it here because the resolution is screwed up and everything is stretched out). So… That’s where I am right now. Felt like I was really starting to do better with this tumblr thing, but it’s out of my hooves.

1) You mad? You mad. Look at mad. So mad. Drippin’ mad. Just mad as mad. Mad everywhere. Lookat all dat mad. Trackin’ in da mad. Mad all ova da place. Just mad mad. All dat mad. Just mad. Who mad? You mad.

Mad.

Mad.

2) Oh yeah. That’s what gets me goin’.

B:

And this isn’t funny to you.

B: Would it be funny if it were reversed?

Pfft. Get over it.

3) -ou wanted to say somethin’?

B: I’ve always liked conspiricy theorists. Makes it harder to pick out which improbable things are true.

Makes your job easier?

B: Not as much as you’d think. Just a personal preference.

4) Shut up, baby. I know it.

5) B: I was talking to the filly beside me. I don’t even know you.

6) I don’t think anypony’s ever asked me to rate their music. I have a few videos or links submitted to me now and again, but I rarely post them anymore unless something in particular catches my eye.

I’ll reply to just about any ask, but submissions are subject to closer scrutiny.

7) I found a short article about this Black RX, but based upon what’s there, he wouldn’t stand a chance. I get the feeling there’s more to it than just that, though.

P.S.: You guys can tell who’s talking, right? The big/small is just how far away we are from the mic. Usually I’m closer, but sometimes B is. Is that confusing or can you tell who’s talking?

I don’t remember why I didn’t reblog this sooner.

1) B: Arresting officer? Is that how you see me?

B…

B: You certainly hold a grudge, Lyra.

That was a long time ago. Before I even moved to Ponyville. B is just a friend.

2) It’s fine, Strawberry. We’re cool.

3) Sorry. I have no money and I don’t have Steam. Sounds like a deal, if anypony else is interested!

4) Like, just us? We have lunch together now and again. She, I, Boscov, Tootsie, Sweetie, and the dog all went to the beach not long ago. Or… Or did Tootsie go…? I know she was there when we went bowling.

5) Always an option, I suppose. Just, you know, clean up afterward. Don’t litter.

6) Okay!

I’m back!

7) I think you missed and grabbed B.

B: … What? Now I pretend something’s happened and overreact?

[Audible sigh] You suck.

B: It just isn’t funny.

image

1) Not what I was looking for, but good enough.

2) Alcoholism.

3) B: The [omitted] should I know? I don’t even know them.

You’re the one they asked.

B: The [omitted] should I know? I don’t even know you.

4) B: Yeah, I bet you did.

I had a lovely night, Boscov. Thanks for making me feel better.

B: Yeah, I bet he made you feel better.

You are how old?

5) Strawberry, I do go back and read anything that B answers. Thank you for trying to comfort me.

6) Old games were good. Never really cared for the comics. Show was okay.

Pizza time!

7) It’s called consolidation.

The computer trouble saga continues as I have my computer wiped and the troubles persist! Hardware issues are the best issues!

image

1) Eh. Makes sense. You know, in that doesn’t make any sense sort of way.

2) I guess if you use “your” enough you’ll eventually get it right at least once.

3) B: I’m not gonna chastise the colt for trying to do the right thing.

4) B: So does everypony.

5) There’s all kinds of websites about how to recycle old VHS tapes.

6) I’ve beaten Contra without dying, but probably Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Blaster Master was pretty tough too.

7) Uh… Yeah. Okay.

1) B: You mean the one that tried to comfort his friend? Yes. Shame on him. He should have done what you’re doing.

2) B: Be glad I got to this ask and not Lyra. For the first portion, allow me to direct you here. For the second, the notion of grimdark derives from there being absolutely no hope. Things certainly didn’t go well for that filly, but she made it through. She found the light at the end of the tunnel and followed it out. Well, mostly.

3) B: Not being Lyra, I’d be fairly confused. Figured her demographic was a little younger.

4) B: She knows you meant well.

5) B: When I heard she made friends with a griffon, I was more than a little surprised myself.

6) B: Pretty sure Lyra doesn’t believe in ghosts. I believe in spirits, but you don’t want to hear about me.

7) B: I can’t tell if you’re calling Lyra a social justice… whatever. Or what exactly you’re doing.

image

1) Now? What happened to dinner?

2) If she and Tootsie are interested, I could see about that.

3) Not exactly what I had in mind. And it looks like you already knew the answer anyway.

4) …

Nothing.

I’m sorry.

5) Sure! Not tonight, as I already have plans, but we can arrange something!

6) …

I have to go get ready. B, can you…?

B: Sure, Lyra.

B: Until the day comes, if it ever comes, that you fully understand what that mare’s gone through, it’s best that you don’t compare your life to hers. There are more complicated and painful things to live through then accidentally killing a friend.

1) If you could specify what RCA is supposed to stand for, it might help. Then again, if I knew whether or not you used Lyra Player instead of Lyre Player on purpose or on accident, that would probably help too.

2) … I’m not a clever pony.

3) Hm hm hm… See you tonight.

4) Probably not.

5) I said it sounded boring, not torturous.

6) Nah. Was never really interested in professional wrestling.

7) Video was uploaded in negative to avoid being auto-removed.

What could not-so-little ol’ me have to prove?

1) Tarot Cards! More useful, more accessable, and more expendable!

2) That’s no good.

3) Why? So you can try using it against me? No thanks.

4) Whatever helps you sleep at night.

5) Wouldn’t need to be a round two. Optimus Prime could just step on everypony.

Except Pepsiman. He’d just run off and grab more Pepsi.

6) Ess Pee Eee Cee Eye Eff Wye!
Detail what you mean to I!
Ess Pee Eee Cee Eye Eff Wye!
Vague asks make me cry-! O~h!

Be more specific.

7) Thank you?

8) Mmm… What indeed?

As with all real forces within our world, magic must abide by the rules in which our world is comprised. Magic has the potential to do anything; it will never be able to do everything. And even if it could, why would we want it to? The kind of destructive nature magic of that magnitude could have in the wrong hooves would be apocalyptic.

This is why we have hospitals. This is why we still have to grow food. This is why houses take more than a day to build and why death is still a threat.

Fantasy and magic are two different things, but it seems like sometimes ponies forget that.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: I think I figured out my earlier computer trouble….
Yay

1) I’ve never heard of that and am pretty sure you’re making it up.

2) Amused, since that would clearly be a falsehood.

3) Really? Dinner then come straight to your house? You don’t have something to prove, do you?

4) I could argue that this page is only really for when I’m not doing anything, but considering all the unfollowers I’ve gotten lately, I sort of figured.

5) I only really play a few games here and there these days.

That is… a very strange game, though.

6) If I’m being completely honest, I sort of thought you might’ve been Scoots. I think you’re right about Boscov though, so I’ll give you the nod.

7) Finally. I mean, I legitimately bought this sombrero off the black market. It’s not like I stole it.

8) Well… I might have spoken too soon… It seems to be okay when I first reinstall Flash, but then it breaks again. At least it’s not freezing up my computer.

But as I read more about it, it sounds like the parties involved are aware and working to fix it. They just don’t know how yet.

For now, I’m back with Firefox and I’ve downloaded adblocker plus and set it to block youtube videos so I don’t accidentally break something.

I think I figured out my earlier computer trouble. Some sort of compatibility issues with Firefox, my graphics drivers, and Adobe. It doesn’t explain my moniter zonking out during boot up after a crash, but I’m on Opera right now and no crashes! Yay!

1) Sounds about right.

2) I think my version is sort of relaxing throughout, but the original? I mean, it was specifically designed to cause unease.

3) Yes.

As a disclaimer, I’ve never played Rhythm Heaven and only knew what you were talking about entirely be chance.

4) Not me. Do you have something in mind, big guy?

5) Just to confuse you as much as possible.

6) So Jews are citizens of the United States of America? Huh. I thought they were called Americans.

7) Upbringing mixed with apathy, I imagine. Why learn about something you have only a passing interest in?

P.S.: Why doesn’t Chrome let you turn off tabs? I’d have gone with that over Opera but I don’t like tabs.
