Ask Lyra

Dec 19

pegasus-cloud-kicker asked: So you are saying there is a possibility that you and your lover could have a foal? And you shouldn't get so defensive, it is only a question.

I’m saying there is no chance in the deepest fathoms of unholy Hell that Boscov and I would ever be able to have a child.

Even if I was capable.

And a question can have every bit of sting as a comment. Don’t try to waltz your way around me with a smile and a nod and think you can say whatever you want.

Anonymous asked: Hey Lyra, remember that house party you had a while back? It was pretty wacky, huh? With all of the underage drinking, and the drugging, and the foal having to be alone at the ER. Good times, huh? Good times.

Yeah… There’s a reason I haven’t had another one… Can’t imagine how bad one would be now.

Oh, my favorite part was when [omitted] Octavia herself was there for all that.

I’ll be honest, I wanted to crawl under a rock and die.

Anonymous asked: Sorry i was referring to the second part of that past question that you didn't answer, about the liver, yeah that one. And I'm not stealing from you, Celestia no. That cat pony seems to like you a bit too much, and he would probably [omitted] me up even if I did get away from you

Cat pony?

Cat pony…

Oh! You mean Strawberry? Ha! I forgot that ever happened!

Anonymous asked: This might sound a little weird, but is misandry common in Equestria?

Maybe for little fillies. And the inverse would hold true for little colts.

Among adults? I don’t think so.

Now, our society does lean more toward feminine rights above men’s, and that would be a culture shock to a human, I’m sure. But I don’t think there’s many mares that hate stallions.

pegasus-cloud-kicker asked: Of, you know! All this dating could lead to "unnatural" foals and such. Or maybe somepony might think it's a uprising and such. I'm just stating theories, is all.

Unnat-…

Look here. Without a substantial amount of magic, and I’m talking gene splicing levels of accuracy the likes of which would give even Princess Celestia pause, a bear and a pony cannot have a child.

What anypony thinks about it is less than any of my concern.

pegasus-cloud-kicker asked: So, I heard Rarity was dating a Dragon or something and you are dating a Bear.. Any of that related? A pony could get suspicious, since all this interspecies dating and all.

Suspicious of what?

starcatcherpone-deactivated2017 asked: *poke*

Quit it.

Anonymous asked: Just hypothetically, there was this one griffon. You dont need to know the details, it wont concern you.

I think you accidentally part of the question.

Anonymous asked: Well they could also steal thing while you are asleep/knocked out. Btw you know how much pony liver sells these days?

It could happen. I’m not invincible and I do need sleep. It all depends on who’s willing to do what.

At any given time there is an innocent filly living in this house. On weekdays, there’s two. If you break into my house, your life is in my hooves, and I am willing to take it from you.

As a hypothetical thief, are you willing to kill over less than the down payment for a decent house when you can get twice as much somewhere else without so great a risk?

A dumb thief is easily dispatched, a smart thief would go elsewhere.

Anonymous asked: What if the hypothetical house breaker is the turd burglar, butt doctor, or some other creeper?

Then permanent injury would be replaced with possible dismemberment.

Also, none of them have ever entered my house. Most of that crud is just messages I receive.

Asterisks do not equate action manifest.

Anonymous asked: Not a whole lot to steal? There is plenty to steal, like your phone, computer, heart, kitchen supplies, video games and so much more!

In the time it would take to sort through things and find something to take, the perpetrator would likely turn around and find my hoof up their behind.

Sure, I work. But I don’t always post when I’m working. And if I do, I don’t always post when there’s a cancellation. Anypony willing to risk possible permanent injury over, maybe a hundred bits worth-of pawning material?

There’s just more worthwhile, safer options than this household.

carrotcake-replies-deactivated2 asked: This is a Cupcake +2, it is enhanced with a stamina bonus plus it raises your fire resistance by 20%, It also boosts your healing rate for 120 minutes. I can see us working out a deal, maybe you could play me a song in exchange. Something about the waking world, would be nice, if, uhm, it's possible that is.

Very creative.

Sorry, I was so busy working on Boscov’s present it slipped my mind. I’ll see if I can get Boscov and Mint and try to work something out.

That’s a lot of instruments though. And I don’t know a whole lot of musicians willing to work for free. Might end up sound a little strange, I don’t know yet.

Anonymous asked: I'm guessing from this conversation that you wouldn't like for a free security alarm to be installed at your house, would you?

I just lock the doors and windows.

There isn’t a whole lot to steal either way.

theblackstrawberry asked: I guess I was the one who was being unreasonable.... *puts a bunch of bits back into his other bag* there, now it's even.

I appreciate that.

You’re a good friend, Strawberry. You do more than you know. You shouldn’t feel the need to pay me.

[Giggle-snort]
Okay.
You’re entitled to your opinion, and I have no need or desire to defend my position.
