Ask Lyra

Aug 30

theblackstrawberry asked: I can't wait! But I have a question: What is YOUR favorite song?

Bing-Bing-Bing!

This time, I’ll go with Molly Hatchet’s Flirtin’ with Disaster!

You know what I’m talkin’ about, baby?

theblackstrawberry asked: I've been pretty good. Congrats on an great 2000th and 2001st post! Lately I've been finding odd objects and strange ponies have been coming to me asking for them like they knew that I've had the item. It's like destiny the items come to me and leave with their owners. Maybe I'm just being weird. I'm super excited about your new piece, but then I'm excited about every piece!

That does sound kinda weird.

Well…

I was just messing around and I stumbled upon an old piece I really liked. Already started working on it. I’ll probably upload that one tomorrow, just to make sure I don’t rush on that Earthbound piece.

theblackstrawberry asked: How was your day?

Better than yesterday.

Hung out with some friends for a good while. I think I’ve got everything I need for that Earthbound piece. Just need to put it all together, sync it all up nice, maybe distort the guitar a little.

How have you been?

adammuto:
“ No. 16
”
I know that feeling.

adammuto:

No. 16

I know that feeling.

theblackstrawberry asked: If you were some headless vegetable, then I'll find a way to restore you. I want you to live a long happy life. You deserve it, every pony does.

Thanks. I agree, in a way.

Everypony deserves to live a long, happy life.

Unless they do something irredeemable.

Anonymous asked: I dunno, a whacky, possibly fun life? If the nature of my physiology changed in anyway I'd not so quickly condemn the new form as something worthless or futile. Think objectively! Maybe you could find another beheaded pony and work together to figure put why you've been reduced to horned cabezas.

Or I could just blow myself, and everypony nearby, the hay up.

Seriously, no. I’ve endured enough torture for one lifetime. Not going to spend even a minute without a body.

Anonymous asked: A nautilus is like mixing a snail and a squid together and then trying to make the result look cute-WAIT, you'd blast yourself!? But . . . you'd die! Don't tell me you're feeling suicidal, I'd hate myself if you were. Even hypothetically, those are not thoughts a pony should be harbouring!

If all that was left of me was a disembodied head and I was being sold? Yeah, I think I’d rather die.

What kind of life to live is that?

Sheet music for Showtime.

Because I also kinda want to hear that.

Okay!

Edit: Huh. Somehow on my page, this is coming up before the recording, when I did it after.

Oh well.

Anonymous asked: You are wise beyond your years.

If I am, it’s only from experience.

I’ve experienced more than most should.

Anonymous asked: Perhaps I am being a tad paranoid. I did not want the game to end so quickly.

The beauty of anonymity is treachery. Even if they find out, you don’t have to admit it.

Anonymous asked: If you woke up as just a head, a disembodied head, held by your mane in the tentacles of a talking nautilus that was trying to sell you to somepony, what would you do? This is all hypothetical, of course.

Probably use amplification magic to sonic bomb everything, including myself to hay.

Not that I recognize what a nautilus is by name.

Anonymous asked: I fear the worst... Gilda and Sweetie Belle are on my trail... I do not feel safe, I will be hiding in my friend's house outside of Ponyville. Good bye for now, I will keep in contact.

I seriously don’t think that’s necessary.

Just get a feel for the weight and everything first. I know its a bit different than your lyre in that you pluck the strings to make a bit of sound, but in this case, we got amplification! 

*Mint strums a few chords and makes the windows rattle in Lyra’s house*

hehe :3

Okay, we gotta turn that way down. Sweetie’s trying to sleep.

*Turns volume down from 2 to 1* 

Sorry Lyra, this is my fav little tube amp, and it really puts out some noise. But anyway, you get the basic idea? It’s not too hard.

Can we switch to a different amp then? That low rumble is going to keep Sweetie up.
