Ask Lyra

Aug 19

do-not-ingest asked: Normally, if some godless monster were to insult my Beatles, they would be wall art. But, I've decided to not be so murderous, so I will respect your opinions. You get to live.

Well, thank you for choosing not to kill me over my musical preferences.

And you could send a follow up message saying you were just joking if it makes you feel better, but the fact that ponies got so darn upset by that is downright disgraceful.

Anonymous asked: What styles of music do you like to play? Classical?

Same styles I like listening to, sans ska. Thus far I’m just not good enough to play with that sort of jazzy swing.

But classical is certainly a portion of it!

Oh Celestia…

I apologize right now for what I’ve started… It was just supposed to be a joke between me and Twilight.

Allow me to explain

No, it wasn’t a joke. I really don’t like the Beatles.

I understand their significance in musical history as well as anypony else, but I’ve only heard three or four songs from them that I could actually stand listening to. And one of them was I am the Walrus, which is like somepony saying they like Queen because of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Now, the severity of the comment on the other hand was in direct response to Twilight’s attitude. I knew that comment would shove so far down her craw she’d be choking up insect thorax. I don’t believe I was wrong.

None of that has any bearing on my feelings for any of the band members or their extraordinary talent.

theblackstrawberry asked: I'll be ready sunday, unfortunately 2 of my friends are having birthdays today and tomorrow, so this pony is ready to go nuts with fun! :D after that i will come visit you and meet everybody else! im excited!

Wow! That sounds cool! I’ve never been to two birthdays one after another before!

Sometimes I think ponies just swear for the sake of swearing. I’ve even noticed times where they weren’t even aware they were doing it.

Doesn’t really matter to me. Though that was the only message I got.

Also, I got your submission. It would have been a lot better if the audience could have contained themselves during the performance.

Could actually have made the Beatles bearable to listen to.

What is that, a type of flower?

theblackstrawberry asked: i assumed you meant where i lived in your edit. :D i really can't wait to be able to sit in on you practicing the lyre, i am so excited!

I’m telling you, it’s really, really boring.

But let me know when you’re ready and you can meet me at the hospital. From there I’ll show you where I live! You can meet Bon-Bon too!

You might even see Tootsie for a little while after school, before she has to go home for the weekend.

P.S.: I fixed that typo.

Anonymous asked: ICK! THE POLICE!

I know, right?

I still get a little nervous around the guard, if I don’t know them personally.

Okay, since everypony else did it. Here’s a photo of me.
See how much more realistic this is than all of those drawings I’ve uploaded?
P.S.: Editing out the swear took too long/I got lazy.

iamonlykidding-deactivated20150 asked: How old were you when you got your first lyre? Who gave it to you?

First Lyre.

How old was I? Mid-teenage by human standards (not that we go by that, but I wouldn’t want to leave any human readers in the dark). Lasted a good while before it was pulverized in that fight.

I think I overdid it again.

My right eye hurts. I need to stop working so hard on this stuff.

friendshipgallopsalone reblogged your audio post: Okay, I said I wouldn’t upload it. So I’m not. …

i never played chrono trigger,…i really like the tune, very uplifting

It wasn’t the almighty experience some ponies like to claim it was, but it was a fairly polished, very enjoyable game. And pretty easy, for ponies new to RPGs!
