Anonymous asked: If you had to give anon a present, what would it be?

You realize I’m broke as a joke, right?

Anonymous asked: Have you ever thought about modeling? Fluttershy could do it and you're soooooo pretty <3

I’m not exactly what anypony would call graceful.

I don’t think I have… DA MAGICKS!

Anonymous asked: Do you have a special place?

My room back at the castle in Canterlot when I was growing up. Any place that was safe was pretty special growing up.

I guess my room here at Bon-Bon’s is pretty special, and the ‘office’ I’ve turned into a recording booth.

Anonymous asked: Do you play many video games?

Not many, no. I pretty much just play the superhero MMO City of Ponies and jump on Minecraft every now and again. Not that I’ve had time to play either lately.

I’m looking forward to Deus Ex 3, though! Hoping that doesn’t turn out like Duke Nukem Forever. I was looking forward to that too.

Anonymous asked: What do you think about apples?

So sweet and tasty?

Or… I think I’m thinking of something else.

They’re nice. I prefer them in pie form.

Anonymous asked: Do you have a crush on Spike?

He’s an alright guy, but a little too juvenile. Nevermind the fairly large differences between the speed in which our two species age.

askprofessorlyra asked: I actually know about that kissing thing. It's a compatibility thing the aristocracy uses. It only feels good if you have a certain ability that matches your partner. I've been talked into doing it before, and a few times it managed to suck the energy out of me.

Luna above! How horrifying!

Anonymous asked: Is there a special way of unicorn kissing? Something that involves the horn? Would you kiss me like that? :D

I suppose some sort of magic force-feedback could cause a sensation of some kind… I don’t know that it would be pleasant, though.

And no, we’re not testing that out.

Anonymous asked: Are you still getting questions about how cool you are?

The questions I get are the ones you see responded to.

Anonymous asked: How did you feel during the ursa attack?

Terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

I’m glad Twilight resolved that, ‘cause I was about to leg it something fierce.

Anonymous asked: What kind of hay do you like best or are you more like a daffodil and daisy person?

I tend to stick with wheat. Wheat burgers are tasty!

Anonymous asked: Lyra, please sing for us <3

That’s not a good idea.

I wish I could.

Why…

Why did I pick Tchaikovsky…?

“No! Don’t do Bach! Bach is overplayed! She’s not going to want to hear Bach! You should take the road less traveled!”

The road less traveled is filled with headaches and suffering and I didn’t even know you could have a double quarter grace note and oh Celestia what have I gotten myself into!

Anonymous asked: Ever thought of joining Vinnie's and Tavi's show on K-Colt? Or maybe gettin' your own radio show?

I have no idea what the process behind that is.

And I’m not sure I’d make a decent radio personality.

I answer stuff all the time here, but you gotta remember I don’t really talk a whole lot in public.
