Well, then that’s good! You just keep going and you’ll be drawing all awesome and stuff in no time!

1) Don’t know for sure. The ponies that took care of me when I was young celebrated it on the 6th of April, so I’ve always just gone with that.

Evidently, when they were still trying to find my parents, they had somepony come in to approximate my age. All they could get out of it was that I was born sometime between May and the end of April.

Good luck with your sleepover!

2) For like the third or forth time; no. Not yet, not ever.

3) I can see why you’d try making that connection, but I’d be lying if I said yes.

Try this one. Maybe not the best fit for the both of us together, but I like it. We’ll call it my Favorite Song for the day! Haven’t done one of those in a while.

4) Had to look for that one. Thought this was from a advert at first. In fact, I wish it was.

The full song I found instead was… Just awful…

I was going to link to this when I thought you were talking about a advert, now I’m doing it to get that song out of my head.

5 and 6) I’m gonna try. Thanks for the encouragement!

And as an aside, I’m not pitifully asking for ponies to cheer me on with some sad sap routine. I’m just telling the truth. I can’t draw, I’d like to be able to draw. Time will tell if the desire for the later is strong enough to fuel a change to the former.

But, you can! Just not until you practice some more!

1) That’d be cool, but I wouldn’t be able to make it. I have a very irregular schedule.

2) I try to practice when I have some time.

I’m trying to pull back from the music a little to draw more.

Ponies said i was Scooc once too! :/

I’d take it as a compliment if it were true! I wish I could draw half as well as either of you!

… Yeeeeah…

His drawings are a little better than mine.

1) Yeah. Those were already fantastic.

It was bad, but I won’t give up! At least not yet.

Edit: By the way, nice to see a face with those drawings you sent!

2) If this is miles above your skills, then you must be incapable of holding a pencil.

All I did was step by step what Scooc told/showed me to.

In fact, the Lyra he drew is what it should have looked like.

1) Tell the pony you’re in a relationship with what happened, then tell the guard on whoever tried to do you harm. Best you can do beyond that is defend yourself.

2) I assume Liora was taken as well. You could try Lyora, Lyeora, or Lieora. Or even Liera.

Hmm… My global handle in City of Ponies is Demon Shell. Got a character named Tia Locke. One of my characters in Skyrim is Freya.

Hey! You know Evil-Lyn from He-Mare? How about Lyra-Lyn?

Edit: And that picture is awful and you know it.

Drop the Lyra and add a Heartstrings.

Because why not?

Also, here’s a picture Scooc helped me draw!

His version was a lot better.

1) … I’ve never heard anypony say that. I mean, I know there are other ponies out there that look like me, but we’re all relatively the same age, near as I can figure.

Did she look just like me, or was she an earth pony?

3) Wasn’t a huge fan of the games, but I read the three books. I remember liking them, but I can’t really remember what happened.

4) That’s not really a size thing, it’s more of a shape. He’d have to have forelegs three or four times thicker to do that.

5) I remember addressing this before, but I don’t remember what the answer was. I mean, that was over a year ago.

Short answer, we ate them.

6) Once every night before bed, and again before I leave to go anywhere.

I’m sure Colgate won’t be happy with that answer, but who has time to brush after every meal?

1) Boscov isn’t too big on video games, and I’m not too big on board games.

We played a fun little impromptu dialog game last week. Do you remember that game, Boscov?

2) I don’t know who says that, but it sounds like sound advice!

Anonymous asked: Lyra, maybe I misread your nitpick about AJ, but she's a farming earth pony. They find ways.

You mean about the trees?

Here’s the thing, being an earth pony doesn’t mean you can accelerate time. Things still have to grow. I’m sure Applejack could grow a tree fuller and with a greater yield than your average pony, but if she could somehow shave a year off the time it’d take for a tree to fully mature, that’s still nine years!

I don’t know, maybe she has so many trees it didn’t matter much. Was just my thoughts.

1) Everypony deserves a chance to redeem themselves. They can at least try to make amends.

Even if they’ve done something unforgivable, if they truly repent they can still spend the rest of their lives trying to make it right.

… Right?

2) Sorry, I don’t have any stickers.

image

1) Thanks! Green, blue, and orange are cool colors!

2) No! No more of your grimdark bull [omitted] scenarios! Go bother somepony else with that [omitted]!

?) And I’m sorry, Everpresent, but when tumblr screwed up today I had tried to reply to the episode you sent. It never got posted and it won’t show up in my askbox anymore. So I lost it.

Sorry.

1) Oh… I guess that would be why you wrote it out as two words, huh? Eh heh heh… Eh…

Uh… Get a job in a morgue? I don’t know. But definitely don’t work as a surgeon. That won’t end well.

2) Okay.

3) The age of consent is different depending on where you live. If you don’t know, look it up.

Chloroform is toxic. Even between two legal, consenting ponies as some kind of fetish, it’s extremely dangerous. Nevermind that whole willing/consenting part I keep going over.

Lastly, [omitted] ew! That’s your sister!

If you need a reason not to, incest is illegal because of the genetic deficiencies that occur to any possible offspring.

4) Evidently we’ve got a few poets out this evening.

1) Have you tried capping somepony in a video game?

In all seriousness, the first problem you’re having is the very notion of “Blood Lust,” which assumes that anypony, or anything, causes harm to another for no reason other than some made up instinct.

What you have is frustration that you’ve come to realize can be released through violence. What you need to do is find some other way to ease that tension. I don’t know you. I don’t know what your interests are so it’s tough for me to give you a replacement. You could try something constructive, exercise, a form of mindless entertainment like certain television shows or video games. Maybe you could build something of your own to subsequently destroy.

You could even do… more private things if that eases your frustration, either by yourself or with another if they’re willing and of legal age.

2) You have no idea how much the pegasus in Cloudsdale love asking that. They see a unicorn up there and it’s like a field-day.

3) Wow. Catchy.

Is it a work in progress?

I would wear a human shirt if it had this on it (click for source).
