Ask Lyra

I just spilled dried cereal all over the carpet and Tootsie Flute is already in bed.

I’m afraid a vacuum will be too loud.

What do?

Well… I suppose I have been lucky thus far. Most of my questions have at least an ounce of tact, even if they were baselessly insulting.

I’ve been in my share of fights. I’ve been beat up, thrown around, had my life threatened more times than I can count.

How about you, little foal? Everything been just daisy with you? Did you have parents to tuck you into bed at night? I know I didn’t. Somepony to look out for you if you got in trouble? All I had was a place to rest my head at night. Sometimes I didn’t even make it back there. And no pony came running; no pony looked for me. If I showed up, I showed up. If I died, no pony would have cared. I’m not asking for sympathy, I’m not even asking for tact from you.

I guess what I’m saying is…

Is insinuating that I’m both male and a eunuch really the best you can do? I’ve slept through worse in an alleyway while being stepped on.

Anonymous asked: Blue,

Nope, sorry. Haven’t seen em.

This is flippin’ unbelievable!

This is why I subscribe to Equestria Daily! Best newspaper in Equestria!

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: I guess we will talk to her when she gets back.

This is all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to make Gilda go through with all of this...

It was Gilda’s decision before it was yours.

Beyond that…

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: Well, Luna has been acting rather cruel recently, even when she's not drunk or possessed by some evil spirit. Maybe her being unstable isn't completely out there?

So, if she imagined it.. We choose our own canon?

Why did i type that? It doesn't make sense.

I don’t know, but meta powers keeps yammering on that it’s Gilda’s decision, not ours.

I hate that, it’s like I’m having a conversation that I’m not actually involved in.

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: So, i am not crazy to think that maybe there have been big miscommunications going on here? Like, we are communicating with one of this alternate realities, but think that it is our own?

I don't think any of us have met luna in person... So, it kinda holds water?

I am sorry that everything is a question with me right now. I am just so confused...

Well, I know that Gilda has met that Luna before. But I have no idea what was involved for them to meet.

For that matter, whose to say we even wake up in the same reality every day! Sometimes I don’t see Bon-Bon for an entire day or two, and that doesn’t seem out of the ordinary somehow!

All of that assuming that Luna did, in fact, slaughter a town and isn’t just completely nuts.

stilllunaanswers asked: *Shrugs* People change.

You mean like go crazy, your highness?

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: Canon-shattering? Hmm... why does those words sound familiar?

You know, i have been thinking about something, What if the Luna we talked to is not the same Luna from your world and Gilda's? If tumblr being an interdimensional gateway is true... Maybe i'm over thinking this?

No, no, I’m on the same page with you. But I have no idea. I’ve seen Luna, so I know what she looks like, but I’ve never met her. I certainly wouldn’t expect the Luna I saw after Nightmare Moon was defeated to be as aggressive or impatient as this one. I wouldn’t even expect her to be all that present in day-to-day Equestrian life!

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: I guess i can't take Luna's own word for it or her family's... These last few days have been very stressful. I don't know what to do anymore.

In all honesty. I would rather not have to deal with any of this.

That’s up to you, cowboy.

I look after my friends, but I don’t deal with the majority of the psychotic nonsense that goes on around here.

Canon-shattering…

Meta powers wanted me to add canon-shattering.

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: Just some sturdy clothes, i'm in the dessert, you see. This is what i wore last time i had to deal with sandy wind. It stings like crazy if you aren't properly dressed...

But anyway, that's not important. This just sounds so sudden and there was the confirmation from well... everyone related to her.

All I saw her say was that she heard about it. I figured she heard about it from that Luna that pushes folks out of windows. If she received word from her own country, that would be different.

I mean, she thought she was pregnant, and that turned out not to be true.

martymcflystranded-deactivated2 asked: I got a call feom my roommates, telling me that you left the a message for me about Luna lying. Is it true? And... why would she lie about something like that?

It’s possible that it might not be true. And not so much that she’s lying as it is that she seems to be, well, nuts. She may have just imagined the whole thing. I’d have no way of knowing for certain for a quite a while.

What are you wearing in your profile picture?

stilllunaanswers asked: You just don't get how this nexus of dimensions works.

Nope. I have no idea, how it works.

stilllunaanswers asked: *Rolls eyes* Whatever you say...

You say that as though I can see you doing it.

Does that sound crazy to anypony else?
