Ask Lyra

theblackstrawberry asked: So I get off the whale, and I start walking, and the compass leads me to a house. This witch doctor says she says once you are cursed, your number of curses never go down, but you can switch them. So now I changed the curse so I can become a ghost at will. I need you to do me a favor and hit a glowing button that's under a chair in my room.

Uh…

Where’s your house again?

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: i'm gonna hurt tumblr pretty badly if you don't get this

I got it.

What’s up?

Anonymous asked: Now what have we learned?

That jokes about sexually transmitted diseases aren’t funny when aimed at ponies who have, on more than one occasion, had intercourse without being one hundred percent, willfully consenting.

I’m sorry, I was hoping that’s what you’ve learned.

Anonymous asked: You realize I won't stop until you laugh at this a little.

Fine, mission complete.

Can you drop it now?

Anonymous asked: Simple. Draw yourself, only without the syphilis.

I can’t complain, it was sort of funny in its minimalistic approach.

But the whole subject is wearing thin.

Anonymous asked: You can draw me a picture.

I can’t for the life of me think of what I could draw that would get the idea across any better.

Anonymous asked: No. I just want a tiny bit. Of your syphilis.

How else can I explain this to you?

Anonymous asked: There's still no good singles in Ponyville though. Just thought I would point that out to you.

I don’t know about that…

Anonymous asked: Is that a no for the deal? Come on, I just want a tiny bit.

Do I have to say it? Do I actually have to say I have no STDs. Have never had any Venereal Diseases. Am completely clean.

Do I really have to say that? Should I write up a ten page paper on how Celestia [omitted] lucky I was? Do you want a public speech?

rainbowdash-answers asked: So Lyra how has your day being? Without ruined by that one anon aside that! Was it a awesome day overall? >:D

Um… Not really.

I haven’t done anything.

I should probably get to work on another recording… But I really want to play some more Deus Ex…

Anonymous asked: I'd be willing to pay an acceptable amount of money for some of your syphilis.

I mean… I’m pretty used to being insulted. I can put up a pretty darn tough front. But that just came completely out of nowhere!

The hay did I do to deserve that?!

everpresentshades-blog asked: I like to think that anon says that to everyone he meets as a formal greting. "Mom, I..I want you to meet my fiance Anon." "Hello dear!" Ten seconds later the relationship is over.

Humph Humph.

Anonymous asked: Hey Lyra, since there's no good single males in Ponyville, why don't you just be a fillyfooler with Bon-Bon?

Would certainly simplify things, wouldn’t it?

I can’t help it. I’m not attracted to mares. Besides, Bon-Bon and I are more like sisters at this point. It would be really awkward.

4horsemenoftheapocalypse asked: "As speak one of muse, the lyrics of such mask a man may wear must appeal to you - for this, I must ask - what is of the saddest song you know of? Doth your harp enjoy such melodies of tragedy? Are thou trained more-so in the haste driven strings of warfare?

All things being relative, Black Hole Sun was a pretty dark song for me for quite some time. I listened to it a lot after someone I was really close to died.

Are we differentiating between sad and depressing? If not, half of That Handsome Devil’s library is pretty depressing. Notable call outs to songs like Kiss the Cook and Marilyn Loves Heroin.

If we are, I’d say Tree Food is sad without being depressing. Same artist.

All those being songs I at least ‘like’, by the way.

Also, parental advisory. Don’t recommend the foals listening to any of those by That Handsome Devil. If the saddest thing you’re used to listening to is a song about a breakup, you don’t want any of this.

Anonymous asked: Can I have some of it?

Go nuts.

I can’t remember what’s being talked about anyway.
