Ask Lyra

Aug 31

Anonymous asked: How's the hospital food?

Awful.

But I haven’t ate much.

everpresentshades-blog asked: Since everything is relatively calm again I have a question. Yesterday you said you'd be the Element of Deception, you also said that that would count as an element of Harmony. My question is, since I'm going off the logic that there's possibly a "Discord" version of the Elements in opposition to the others, what would those Elements consist of?

Uh… I don’t know anything about discord.

But like I said, all things can have a certain level of harmony to them.

Kindess, harshness. Honesty, deception. Generosity, selfishness. Laughter, stoic. Even Loyalty to betrayal.

This expands to almost all things. Even life and death itself.

The only thing that doesn’t have an opposite is magic. Magic isn’t a trait, it’s a force. You could argue that a few ways, but I’m kinda losing focus. So I’ll stop here before I ramble.

Anonymous asked: Do YOU know why Sweetie ran off?

The short answer is stress.

The long answer would require me to spend like twenty minutes looking up blog pages to link.

So, stress.

patchoulol asked: I hope you aren't kept from playing for too long. Whenever I've been injured, that's always made me more frustrated than anything else, just not being able to do what I love to do. But it can force me to have time for things I don't normally make time for. That said, have you figured out what you'll be reading if it comes down to it?

Ah… Cels…

I dunno…

Collections of short stories can usually hold my attention. Can’t interact with them, which is why I hate reading books, but they end fast enough that it’s not such a big deal.

everpresentshades-blog asked: O, also hello again, I'm the anon from last night who helped look for Sweetie.

I figured when I saw you talking to Gilda.

Thanks again for your help.

asksilverstar-deactivated201110 asked: In Appleloosa, the only surgeon we have is the town barber! Who's also the town dentist. You need a haircut.

I’ve heard that was fairly common, back in the day.

Bonus clip because this is just awesome.

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: I... uh... could try and get somepony at the hospital to give you a bed bath. I mean, it wouldn't be as good as say a normal bath, but to get one while stuck in a hospital bed feels pretty great in context.

That’s alright. I’ll probably be out of here by tomorrow morning, or afternoon. Should at least be able to hop into a bathtub after that.

Just really not comfortable getting scrubbed down, is all.

letterstoapplebloom-blog-blog asked: Ah know, this sounds like a job for The Cutie Mark Crusader Lyra Bathers!

No! No!

That’s okay!

Nurse? Nurse!

askbasspony replied to your post: Hey Lyra. Glad to hear everything went well!

Well… I have a Pony Sphere 360… But I don’t like to loan my games out… Last time I did they came back covered in tree sap… sorry…

It’s cool. I have an X-Colt back at the house, and Bon-Bon brought my old GBA. I’ve been playing Pokemon Red. Or Blue… I don’t remember at the moment…

I used this glitched I read about to get me a Mew. I always wanted one.

askbasspony-deactivated20120130 asked: Hey Lyra. Glad to hear everything went well! Sucks you have to be stuck in the hospital so long... I have also heard that you are dealing with some other "Things" at the moment... A-anyway. I went to the library and had Twilight pick out some good novels to read why you are down. I was going to bring you some food but the hospital got nitpicky with me last time...

Heh heh heh heh heh…

I freakin’ hate reading books… I wanna play a video game… or my lyre…

Thanks. If I get desperate enough I’ll get to them.

rustic-ghost asked: Whats this about broken bones now? Also if you ask Yukari she should be able to fix it.

I’m fine.

This needs to heal naturally. Enough unicorn magic has gone into it already.

letterstoapplebloom replied to your post: Lyra, maybe yew should go take a bath er somethin’,

Oh yea. Ah’m sorry, ah forgot :C

It’s alright, little filly. I thought it was funny.

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Is there anything I can do for you while you're recovering?

Know how to play the lyre?

No, I’m fine. This painkiller just clounds my mind.

Clouds my mind.

everpresentshades-blog asked: I apologize if I sounded like a total dink there, I never mean to imply that she's a pet or anything of that nature. I guess I just thought things in a black and white perspective. I wasn't implying she be locked off from Rarity forever either. I don't know, I just hope whatever happens she gets the support she needs.

I know you meant well; it was just a metaphor.

In a way, it’s less about what Sweetie deserves… wants or deserves… and is more about what Rarity and I are capable of giving her.

letterstoapplebloom-blog-blog asked: Lyra, maybe yew should go take a bath er somethin', yer hair is all....messy and junk.

My surgery finished less than twelve hours ago, Applebloom. I’m not allowed out of bed.
