Ask Lyra

Oct 03

theblackstrawberry asked: I have a picture in my head... but I keep freaking out and thinking of things like what if I lose all my memories, or what if I grow extra parts, worst of all what if i just die?

Well, I like to look at it this way. If you die, you won’t be around to care that you’re dead.

Don’t worry about it! I’m sure everything will go alright!

I certainly hope so, anyway.

theblackstrawberry asked: Lyra... I'm turning into a colt today.... I haven't stopped shaking this morning...

Just try to relax! Remain calm!

Remember, magic works the best if the subject visualizes the outcome!

Anonymous asked: What's your take on Equestrian politics?

Not really my concern.

Princess Celestia will rule the country until the day I die. No other position is of any consequence to me.

Anonymous asked: Are you a statist?

Statist? You mean a Munchkin? Eh… Kinda.

I’m all for being different; I do it quite a bit myself! However, I always roll with ‘different, but functional’. Like a Minotaur Swordmage; different, but even without trying very hard, functional! I don’t hold other ponies to that standard, though. You play however you feel comfortable and we can all have fun!

Over time, you find what works!

gummy-the-toothless-alligat-blog asked: *Gummy thinks this Gummy is canon-er than other Gummys, so can't speak* (( No, but really, if I were you I'd delete repeat questions. Not that I get any questions :P ))

What it all comes down to, little guy, is a sum of many parts.

Firstly, sometimes things are asked a while back and it’s difficult to choose a cut off point. “Before so many days, you should have looked for the question first.”

Sometimes somepony might just legitimately miss that a question was already answered, even recently. No pony is perfect.

That leads into the subject of content. If it’s an important question, should it take precedent over something like a joke?

Which also leads into jokes. Sometimes a repeated question is done as a joke; just to see the response.

In the end, I just answer what I get. I don’t want any pony to fee left out!

gummy-the-toothless-alligat-blog asked: *Gummy blinks, and wonders why Lyra doesn't just delete the repeated questions. If the anons don't have time to look back a few pages, then Lyra shouldn't have the time to answer them*

I’m wondering why you’re putting asterisks around your disposition. You’re obviously capable of speaking in text, so why not just talk to me?

But, you know, whatever you want to do is fine… [/Fluttershy]

Anonymous asked: I profoundly apologise. I hope we can put this behind us.

Apologies with no context are the best apologies.

Anonymous asked: Yes, Michael Jordan. Him and his B-Ballnacht...

No. I don’t think he’s ever even played basketball.

Anonymous asked: Was "He" working with MJ or some conspiracy group like that?

No.

MJ?

An awesome picture a friend of mine did for somepony else’s birthday; the admin of the forum we go to!

But I thought it was too awesome to keep there. So I asked her to upload it here. Happy Birthday Yams!

Decided to add this to the sidebar.

Nothing else to report at the moment.

colfaxstormrider asked: Let's just say I got a little overenthusiastic and leave it at that... And, speaking of leaving, I shall make good on my promise and leave you be, no need to start anything over... I need to work on my shop anyway, a sizable section of roof needs replacing due to a minor mishap with one of my projects... and I wish whoever was ringing that infernal bell would stop it, it's not helping my headache any.

Best of luck to you.

China Il Premiered tonight. (That’s “i” “L”)

It wasn’t bad! A lot like the old shorts!
