Ask Lyra

Nov 15

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.

hornuraakemi asked: Yo Lyra, what's up?

Just answering a few questions before I go to work.

Have a good day, everypony!

Anonymous asked: Would you ever try taking up wrestling?

I have some informal training in boxing.

But no.

Anonymous asked: Do you think Sweetie Belle could be a robot?

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.

Anonymous asked: If you had the money, would you become a philantrophist?

Maybe…

I mean, probably.

Anonymous asked: What would you do if some young filly approached you and begged to become your apprentice?

Redirect their misguided adoration to somepony that can actually help.

Anonymous asked: How was your day, Fred?

I ate some nachos and had the opportunity to spell my name real good.

F-R-E-D

F-R-E-D-B-U-R-G-E-R

Fred Fredburger-Yes!

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.

Wow! I got a bunch of messages!

Sorry! After Sweetie and I left Boscov’s (after a delightful dinner) I popped on to Minecraft and ran into Scooc! We played for hours! Found an abandoned mineshaft, retrieved some melon seeds, fought hoards of poisonous spiders. It was a blast!

I’ll have to get to the messages tomorrow; I gotta get to bed. I have work in the morning!

Uh-uh.

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Hey Lyra, sorry it's taken so long, but the green bean casserole is just about done.

Alright, Sweetie and I will be over in a jiffy!

theblackstrawberry asked: oh yeah... my mistake. You still are going to be though, and I dont think there's much I can do to change that...

You could stop raising me up on a pedestal and just see me as an equal.
