Ask Lyra

Jul 25

Anonymous asked: You are simply being modest in how cute you are. You are one of the coolest ponies I know. I just wanted to ask you a some what normal question to give you a break from all the weird(er?) stuff you usually have to answer.

… Have you seen Twilight’s page? The stuff I get in my inbox is mild compared to her. For the most part, I don’t even get asked very much. Today was probably just a fluke.

Thank you for your consideration, though. It is nice to actually get a normal question.

I still don’t think I’m all that cool, or cute. I kinda feel awkward answering questions that keep saying stuff like that.

P.S.: Not that Applejack doesn’t get some weird ones too.

Well, a Twilight did say that. You know, the one that seems to have a real problem with books about sparkly vampires.

Anonymous asked: I only ask about the socks becuase everypony I've seen in socks look cuter. You already look cute, and I was wondering if you did the same (not saying you aren't cute without the socks).

Ponies look cuter in socks…?

I’m wearing two pairs right now, they just look like socks to me.

>No, but don’t give up on asking Lyra. She likes to play hard to get!

Accept my marriage proposal lyra!!!

Are you a little slow? There’s nothing wrong with that! But it can be hard to receive over the ponynet.

You just aren’t acting logically.

Anonymous asked: I've noticed a trend of ponies wearing socks/stockings. Do you go with the flow with this trend or are you an individual pony with her own style?

My legs have poor circulation, I already wear socks when I’m just lounging around the house!

I’m not going to get this cover done tonight… The sheet music is much harder to read than I thought. It’s pretty thorough, but it’s also fragmented, if that makes sense.

Even if I could… I just don’t really feel like playing tonight… Sorry everypony.

Applejack, your brother invited me over a few days ago, but I couldn’t make it. I’m going to come over tomorrow. We don’t have to talk or anything. Maybe you can show me how to buck a tree.

Anonymous asked: its difficult thing to play the lyre? I am deciding between getting a lyre or play electric guitar / acoustic. i have no experience.
also i have the guitars

Easier than a harp, I know that first hand.

If you already have the guitars, financially that’d be the way to go.

Guitars are also much more accepted these days than archaic insturments like a lyre…

Kind of a downer answer, but…

roboshi-deactivated20160514 asked: Oh my word yes it is empty, and it is that emptyness that motivates a god to create the star systems and Galaxies. It keeps us busy.

Well… I guess everypony needs a hobby…

roboshi-deactivated20160514 asked: Well yes, before me and my wife worked on the spell to generate small pockets of atmoshere around ourselves we heard nothing in the vacuum of space with no air to carry the sound.

Still the veiw in space more than makes up for it.

-Galaxiour

Sounds… stark and empty.

roboshi-deactivated20160514 asked: I met two actually, they both didn't make much sense so I just ignored them. You'd be surprised how much debis there is out there.

-Galaxiour

I’ve heard space is really quiet, is that true?

askstarcatcher-deactivated20111 asked: You never know if you never try.
Stupid, overused saying.
But you have ponies that will kill if any harm comes to you.
We're here for you, Lyra :\
I say go for it, when you're ready.
But you don't have to take my advice, you're a much stronger pony than I am.
Just food for thought.

This isn’t a matter of trying something like jump-rope and failing. I’m at least semi-comfortable with where things are right now. But if… and things don’t turn out so well, there’s no going back.

I just don’t want to be letdown again…

I don’t think shipping is classy at all. But that’s just my opinion.

Also, messages with swears get put at the bottom of my priority list for responses.

arbor-viridanus asked: What is this "shipping" and do I need to worry about it? ._.

Short for relationshipping, or the act of putting two ponies in a romantic relationship through the ‘art’ of literature.

Unless you worry about the decline of the written word, no.

roboshi-deactivated20160514 asked: Ah yes, well lets just say there are not many dictionaries in space.

-Galaxiour

Have you met that little metal orb that keeps talking about space? I keep hearing about it here and there.
