Ask Lyra

Sep 28

theblackstrawberry asked: oh lol, i'll probably stick to colt.

Brown and a dark red mane/tail should work out out fine.

askagentyork-deactivated2012021 asked: I'm thinking I might try playing the Legendary Guitar Grecotch instead of just hitting Shadows with it next time they show up. Do you have any idea how dangerous should I expect the effects of playing punk rock on what seems to be some sort of divine instrument to be?

I wouldn’t expect it to be dangerous to you. Possibly to anypony, or anything around you.

Say, did you get the unlimited revolver from Kaysen’s dog?

theblackstrawberry asked: Should I try to be a dragon?

Depending upon your age, that might making visiting me a lot more difficult.

You can choose to be a filly or a colt. I just wouldn’t recommend both.

Anonymous asked: So much drama on tumblr lately....

Hit me like a freight train; I can tell you that much.

theblackstrawberry asked: I'm going to be a young filly colt!

Um… If you can choose, you might want to reconsider.

garyyo asked: oooh, medication, like amphetamines? that stuff really helped me. i ate less and got perfect grades for the few months that i took it, unfortunately they had to double my dose every month because it started not working. they ran out of doses after like four months

Yeah… Not really a long term solution.

Nevermind the cost.

theblackstrawberry asked: Kind of, I'll be more defined this time.

Well, if you’re a colt, obviously you’d want darker colors than a filly.

If you can choose, that is.

Anypony seen Mint?

She isn’t at the hospital.

garyyo asked: this sweetie belle thing, yeah i had a similar situation when i was younger, except no one tried to help me, just assumed i was lazy or something. the only advice i can give is to talk to her about it but you probably already thought of that.

It’s not her fault. And I don’t want her to believe for one second that she’s somehow doing something wrong.

If the stupid school system would let me pack her a soda or something I’m sure she’d be fine! All they could suggest was some medication. How is that supposed to be better?

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.
