Ask Lyra

Dec 17

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Lyra, I really enjoyed having you and Sweetie over. I hope I did a good job making sure you two had an enjoyable stay as well.

You were wonderful, Boscov. I can’t think you enough. The trip back is going to suck, but it’ll be nice to lay my head down in my own bed.

I pulled some strings and we not only got the house repaired, but also an expansion! I have my own room and bathroom now!

Oh… Um… Well… See…
…
Oh!
One semester in college I studied abnormal psychology.
Then… Uh…
Hmm…
Oh right!
There was a student in one of the classes I’ve substituted in a few times. She had Schizophrenia. Once you’ve seen that, you don’t mistake it...

There was a student in one of the classes I’ve substituted in a few times. She had Schizophrenia. Once you’ve seen that, you don’t mistake it ever again.

You could watch her expression and tell when the voices were starting to get to her. Then she’d either laugh, call out a little with some harmless disregarding comments, or start screaming and swearing like I haven’t heard since I was running around the alleyways of Canterlot. And you could never tell which was going to happen.

She got violent a few times, but never struck anyone. Just things like slamming and kicking doors. Eventually she was relocated to a different school in a different Sped program. I don’t know where.

Edit: Sped stands for Special Education.

Anonymous asked: A recent scientific survey conducted by the University of Canterlot has revealed that 90% of interspecies couples enjoy Secret Butt Fun. Are you a part of that 90% percent?

We are the one percent.

Heh heh… Yeah…
Operational experience…

Heh heh… Yeah…

Operational experience…

If you want to lie to everypony else, that’s one thing, but you’re not about to lie to yourself. You do not have split personality. These ideas are just every possible angle you can think up at the time.

Besides, it would be Schizophrenia, not split personality, which isn’t even the proper name of that mental disorder.

Double besides, all of you are already hiding. And how are you supposed to just blackout on command?

You ask if a diplomatic approach with the giant is at all possible, to which Amy and Princess flat-out refuse. It’s not just a giant, it’s a shadow. Those things attacked without provocation and stole something valuable from Amy and Princess. They need to get back what was stolen. But you’ve no way of knowing if that giant has whatever it was.

Amy remarks that what was stolen wasn’t necessarily valuable, but Princess disagrees. The two begin to argue, but with mind enough to keep their voices down.

Uh… Thanks?

Anonymous asked: Were one of the Lyra(s) attending the pageant in Canterlot you? Also, what is the plural of Lyra?

Pageant? You mean the Hearth’s Warming pageant? That’s not till next week.

Just go with Lyras.

Anonymous asked: Would you appreciate an internet hug from a fat nerd?

Um… Okay.

I’m pretty sick, so I don’t really want an actual hug. I’d just get somepony else sick.

Anonymous asked: So how bad was it staying at a bear's cave for a week?

Boscov lives in a house in Ponyville.

He lives in Professor Lyra’s old house after she moved to Canterlot.

Anonymous asked: I didn't mean that as an insult. I think it's adorable that you look all chubby and stuff like that.

I don’t want to look adorably chubby.

I at least feel better that you didn’t mean it as an insult.

Anonymous asked: Do you view yourself as kinky? Because I do.

I have a kink in my neck. In fact, every joint in my body is sore. Even the roots of my mane hurt.

Is that at all related?

Anonymous asked: Who was that pony sending you weird, mildly dangerous messages? Was he a member of the Equestria Yakaza?

Probably just some joker.

Anonymous asked: Are pony torsos akin to bean bags? Whenever I see a pony upright or sitting like you do, they look like they have a bit of paunch.

How completely rude.

Maybe humans can be slender and svelte, but ponies just aren’t built that way.

You turn to Princess and ask her what should be done, commenting that her regal name must surely leave her the most qualified to make such a decision.

After tripping on her words for a few seconds, she remarks that she thought you were The Leader and she was just The Lancer, to which you scoff. You’re obviously the Action Girl and she’s the Deadpan Snarker. Amy seems to take offense to this, believing she’s the action girl, but offers no explanation for what everyone else is. She may not understand the conversation taking place here.

You have a sinking suspension that Amy’s The Big Girl, specifically a Cute Bruiser. Though you can’t shake the notion that she may turn out to be an Anti-Hero of some kind.

Twist reminds everyone that this conversation doesn’t matter. You’re obviously the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits and there’s probably more at stake here than anyone yet realizes.

You secretly hope that Twist turns out to be the Team Mom. You’d even settle for The Chick. Just as long as she doesn’t wind up being The Load.

Though now you’re left wondering who The Smart Girl is.

With all the time that’s passed, you’re fairly certain now that the giant doesn’t know you’re there. You could take command, or ask someone else what to do.

Recording

Maybe you can ask Vinyl if you can borrow her recording room to work on your masterpiece?

That seems like quite a thing to ask. I don’t even know Vinyl very well.

Construction is done back at my and Bon-Bon’s house, Sweetie and I are just staying here for one more night before we move back in.
