Ask Lyra

Dec 12

Anonymous asked: Can you whistle?

A little. Nothing harmonic or loud.

Anonymous asked: If you could visit any location, real or fictional, for one week, where would you go?

I don’t care where I go; just who I’m with.

Anonymous asked: Lyra, get off your metaphorical high horse. Our society is different from yours. Our animals are different from yours. It will likely be centuries before mankind is able to completely abandon the use of animals as a food source, physically, mentally, technologically, and economically. I suppose that means to please ignore any further questions about this issue, as otherwise this argument will never end.

No, it won’t ever end because your society is incapable of comprehending the worth of a life at all.

You’ll never be able to understand what it’s like to have the threat of being eaten alive held over your head. So if I want to be the “high horse”, I’m completely justified in it.

Whatever high horse means…

Anonymous asked: Are you a hipster?

You’ve probably never heard of what I’m called. Too underground.

Anonymous asked: I bet you ponies think you're so better than than us.

Maybe, maybe not.

Seems to me your society has a lot more freedoms than ours. Plus, our taxes are pretty steep and all but necessitate having a job.

See, Equestria isn’t taxed on income like your society. We’re taxed on possession. The more you own, it’s assumed the more you make, and thus the more you owe. If you’re out of work, this will quickly eat away at everything you have left.

Both of our worlds still have intolerance toward race. Only ours also has intolerance towards other sapient species. These aren’t just people that look different or come from different backgrounds, they fundamentally are different. Paws instead of hooves, beaks instead of muzzles.

Both of our worlds have a problem with underage relationships, only ours in spades. Ponies don’t like to talk about it, but there are far too many that think it’s okay for a child and an adult, or two children to be in a romantic relationship. Some even go so far as to think it’s “cute.”

Even a Utopia has it’s share of problems. And all of that is ignoring the situation between us and the griffons.

garyyo asked: oh and i made about 2000 over the summer so that has carried me through this semester

Had no where else to put that money? What about a savings account?

I’m not trying to dictate your life, I’m just saying, you know. You bought more games than you can play just because it was a good deal.

garyyo asked: if you sacrifice food money for game money it all works out in the end, probably not for the best but it does work out.

Not exactly the healthiest of choices, no. But a few times won’t hurt you. Celestia knows I skipped enough meals just to make ends meet.

askthefourthwall-blog-blog asked: Ah. Please don't talk about breaking walls. It gets me nauseous.

Sorry. It might be painful for you, but I don’t want somepony dying if it can be helped.

Also, is there a difference between the forth wall and the fourth wall?

ask-fiw-pinkiepie-blog asked: Aww, come on, Lyra! Why won't you take care of him? He will have nopony else, since I only got him a couple days ago! He can fly to you if you really need it!

That’s not how dimensions wor-…

I think the answer to your eminent death has something to do with transdimensional chickens.

garyyo asked: well indie games have always been cheap, but this whole "name your own price for a bundle of great games" thing has just picked up in recent months, and it helped me find great games that i would have otherwise never have played(and haven't played since because i got newer games to play). and then skyrim was totally worth the 60 i spent on it.

So, you still spent a hundred and twenty “dollars” in a short span of time.

Somepony has a disposable income.

Or an allowance

ask-fiw-pinkiepie-blog asked: Yeah, I don't have any with me. It was nice knowing you, Lyra! Can you take care of my pet chicken while I am dead?

Aren’t you from another dimension? Pretty sure I can’t take care of your pet chicken.

Also, how can you not have any on you? Aren’t you forth-wall-breaky enough to just pull one out of hammer-space or something?

garyyo asked: Not all of the games were regularly priced, about half of the cost went towards skyrim, the others I got on sales or one of them fancy indie game bundles. 5 games for a dollar, and at least 3 of those games are extremely high quality ones! It was worth skipping lunch to pay for that!

How can games be cheaper and more expensive than they used to be at the same time?

ask-fiw-pinkiepie-blog asked: Lyra! She found out that I was Pinkie Pie and I can't trick her! She also has a giant net! WHAT DO I DO NOW?!

Scissors cut paper. Should work on net too.

Also, don’t think about rocks. Paper covers rocks.

Not that I have any idea what I’m talking about, but I’m sure it somehow means something to you.

wip.Very rough armature I made for a 3D pony. I will start sculpting soon with Mudbox soon to add details.

I’ll destroy everything. >:( I hope it doesn’t when I sculpt over it.

Mew Pony! Why hasn’t there been a Mew Pony?!

That’s Sweetie Belle as Gitaroo Man and Octavia as Gregorio Siegfried Wilhelm III from Gitaroo Man.

Gitaroo Man was only the best rhythm game before the raise of Guitar Hero/Rock Band and special made controllers. Beat every Parappa game, and even Frequency and Amplitude by a kilometer!

Here’s the song from that battle with a close up of Gregorio III, the alternate versus mode version where Gregorio wins.

I HAD to do this request first I didnt even need the videos because I remember all the characters I played this game obsessively throughout high school, I really wish they’d [reacted] make a new one… thanks for the nostalgia!! now I gotta go find this game again!!

This makes it a million times better! When I sent the message I was afraid I was asking you to do research or something! I was wondering why the quality was so dang high!

You are the true Gitaroo Man!
