theblackstrawberry asked: Dont worry I wouldn't have been offended or anything, before I was a cat I looked pretty androgynous. My name doesn't help with gender, so it was funny to hear people say he or she, and it would change all the time.
Oh…
So… You’ll choose your gender when you become a pony too?
theblackstrawberry asked: I'm going to be a unicorn, it's what i remember when i was super young. I dont remember what colors I was, do you want to pick?
Possibly offensive question incoming.
You’re a guy, right?
I can’t think of any combinations that won’t look feminine…
How about just a brown coat with dark red hair? Similar to what you look like now.
Maybe a white highlight somewhere… I don’t know…
askraincloud-deactivated2012012 asked: W-Wow you are really quite the musican Lyra~ h-how do you figure these thing out~ I'm not sure I could do all those fancy things when I sing~
Well, I had some formal instruction.
Mostly I’m just playing by sheet music. It’s infinitely easier.
syntheticearth asked: Hello, Lyra~! Long time, no see.
Hello, alternate Octavia!
What’s good?
lffb100 asked: Bon-Bon: Hey...i'm sorry for what i did other lyra :( i didnt want to scare you but that apple that hit me in the head made me go insane thanks to lyra im ok now ^_^ ((if u dont know wat im talking about just check my blog))
You sure you’re okay? ‘Cause when you said rope, I was ready to fight for my life!
askraincloud-deactivated2012012 asked: Should I be considering you a musical genius?~
I wouldn’t, no.
You’re looking for a composer. I’m just a performer.
Since it’s over, I might as well explain. I was accused of helping Sweetie Belle cheat on her homework several times, which was bull-… Not true. However, that didn’t change the fact that evidently Sweetie was struggling in the classroom, but not at home. She knows the material, but she’s having trouble staying focused in class.
I had Sweetie tested for an IEP (if you don’t know what it is, don’t worry about it), but I sat in with her that time. She freaken aced the thing… She logically pieced together answers for material her classroom hasn’t even covered yet!
The school can’t give her an IEP if they can’t recognize a problem, and I can’t reliably stay with her all day.
So now, nobody knows what the hay to do.
I just dropped off Sweetie. Mint, I’m on my way to the hospital.
diamondmint asked: Dear Lyra, I'm stuck in the hospital, and unless I get someone to help me back home, they wont let me go. I have tried everypony else, but none of them are answering. I hate to ask, but can you help me?
Can you give me a few hours? I’m about to head into a meeting with Sweetie Belle. It’s kinda important.
I’ll come over and soon as I can.
Anonymous asked: Have you ever had to back 'em up with a fist metal crackle?
Yes, I know what you’re talking about. But you get this instead.
My apologies if the lyrics are explicit. To be honest, I can’t understand a darn thing they’re saying!
This is why I don’t like death metal. If it were just an instrumental, it’d be pretty flippin’ sick!
Anonymous asked: Hey Lyra. Just want to say that in your sidebar, you incorrectly listed Marble Zone as Marble Garden. Marble Garden is the one in Sonic 3 with all those fake spikes.
Oops! I’ll fix that right away!
Thanks!
askraincloud-deactivated2012012 asked: W-Wow those sound very nice lyra~! i w-wish i could play a lyre~
Drums and Tuba are excellent insturments too!
Speaking of drums… I was messing around with some audio files and found a way to dramatically lower the reverberation on the drums in Decisive Battle and Pokey Means Business, while also normalizing the resulting shift in volume. What comes out are considerably less industrial sounding drums (Not that industrial is bad, it was just an experiment).
I’ll upload the two as one file tonight, see what everypony thinks.
askraincloud-deactivated2012012 asked: I know~ I'm more of a singer~ you like to play the music~
I sure do!
These two are my favorite I’ve ever played!
This one is awesome too! Thanks to Applebloom for requesting it!
And… Plug to the newest one…
theblackstrawberry asked: I'm feeling much better today, thank you for bringing me that food, I think I would have just gotten sicker and the worst might have happened. I kept the band aid on my head though. I'm asking Trixie to turn me into a pony... I want to be a pony again...
Cool!
What kind of pony? I mean, do you get to choose?
Anonymous asked: Your thoughts on FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS?
Sounds like an expansion to an MMO. You know, one of those crappy foreign ones that get developed and spat out in a year.
Anonymous asked: How can I become more like Derpy?
Be substantially more awesome than you are currently.
Then become a package deliverer!
