diamondmint asked: Hey Lyra, what ya doin?
Confused, distraught, upset.
I’ve been better.
How are you?
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: It is gigantic. I had it constructed that way, and many think that I am showing off.
In all honesty, it is the only way I'd have enough room for all of my countless books....
Each level of your tower is either bigger than Ponyville, or smaller than our house. I’m going to see if I can find some outside information.
stilllunaanswers asked: A yard is 3 feet, or 36 inches, each.
A yard is the size of three hooves? That would be pretty small again.
This is confusing. I need a visual.
stilllunaanswers asked: Might have something to do with it.
Hmm…
Well, it still doesn’t give me an accurate measurement.
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: No, I am sorry, I have spent too much time with Rory.
it is 150 yards.
Yard?
That seems wildly inaccurate. I mean, Bon-Bon and I have a pretty small yard, but Sweet Apple Acres? That place is huge!
Either way, your tower must be a lot larger close up. That’s gigantic!
stilllunaanswers asked: A 'foot' is the human measurement, for every twelve inches...
Is that where the saying, give ‘em an inch and they’ll take a mile comes from?
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: Well, it is concert size.
The Tower is circular, 500 foot diameter.
…
That’s a strange measurement.
500 hooves doesn’t seem very big.
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: Very well, Miss Lyra.
One last question?
Where should I put my harp?
I can't decide between the Foyer or the Study.
Probably not in the foyer, unless we’re talking about a concert-hall size foyer. A domestic foyer is for greeting people and small talk before welcoming someone into the rest of your home.
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: It is Memento Mori.
Memento Mori: Remember that you must die.
It is good for the humility to remember that no matter what, I shall die one day, just as my parents did, and just as the dragon did. It does not make me sad, it reminds me every day that my life itself is worthless, the value comes from what I do with it.
And I’m sure explaining that to every horrified house guest makes for a lovely conversation.
You’re probably better off asking somepony else. The gap between our tastes seems too great.
Minty in the Sky, with Diamonds: SDCC Exclusive poster giveaway! -
You may want to reblog this if you know someone who is not following me.
I was fortunate enough to get more than one of the San Diego Comic Con MLP:FIM posters. And since I really got started on Tumblr, I feel it’s only fair to have a contest here.
I will be giving away (1) one of the posters…
The game’s a foot?
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: Well, Expense is not a problem. And as for the skull, It was the dragon that killed my parents. I hunted him down and avenged them. The skull Stays.
See, that’s part of that dark, depressing, terrifying motif that makes me weary. Why would you ever want to look at that anyway? It’d just drag up sad memories, wouldn’t it?
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: Are you good with interior?
Because I have a bunch of armor, and no idea where to put it all....
Also, a Dragon Skull...
I’d get rid of the dragon skull, that’s sort of disrespectful.
Bright tapestries and modern lighting, I would think. It sure can get expensive to furnish a tower. I’d never want to own one!
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: So..... I should probably remove the screaming gargoyles?
Well… no… That’s antique, and antiques are classy…
Maybe give them flower wreaths? Certainly never paint them.
…
I’m not really an exterior decorator.
typeandprint-deactivated2012012 asked: It's a grey tower....
I don't think that yellow flowers would fit...
Maybe some black orchids?
Contrast can be a delightful thing!
Remember, we’re moving away from terrifying and creepy.
Not that its my decision or anything!
