carrotcake-replies-deactivated2 asked: Boxing, huh? I've heard it's a common sport in Griffon culture, but I've never seen a pony do it.
It’s not common for ponies, no.
Typically it’d take a unicorn’s magic to maintain the balance and speed necessary to match a Griffon. But if it’s a unicorn fighting, usually they’d be throwing around magic spells at a distance. Plus, unicorns aren’t exactly renounced for their physical prowess. Takes yet another spell to give them the kind of strength to stand up against what an earth or pegusus pony would be capable of. Which means being effective in two specific fields of magic.
Pegesus can box effectively, but typically their style of combat involves a lot of dives and grabs to throw their opponent off balance.

Anonymous asked: What was the worst job you ever had? What was the best?
I don’t exactly have a lot of work experience.
Best job was working at the castle. Worse job is the one I have now.
Those are the only two jobs I’ve ever had.
Anonymous asked: In your eyes, what defines a good question?
A question that’s just good is something I haven’t been asked before.
A great question is well thought out and something I can give detailed input on.
Anonymous asked: Miss Lyra, it finally occured to me: We do not live in the same world. In your world, animals have souls. That is why you object to eating them. I'm sorry for all my arguing some months back
A life is a life. It doesn’t matter if you believe in souls or afterlives. All life is sacred.
Except for bees. Bees can die. Go right ahead and eat as many bees as you can shove in your mouth.

Even if I knew she wasn’t, no.
There’s no way a robot could have emotions like her.
Anonymous asked: Are you good at telling whether or not someone is wearing a disguise?
To what extent?
I mean, when Rarity and Applejack switched places during that relay-race, I certainly couldn’t tell the difference.

Eh, not bad. (Warning: coarse language)
The tracks sounded better individually, though.
rubysstuffblog asked: Hey Lyra, I love it up here, how about you? (I live in Canada by the way)
Uh… Yeah. Ponyville is pretty nice.
Don’t know about calling it “up here”, though.
theblackstrawberry asked: Lyra, how can I help make you happier?
Stop worshiping the ground I trot on and be happier yourself.
I want a friend, not a religious follower.
