Ask Lyra

Anonymous asked: Dear Lyra,

There have been many works of art made by your fans. Do you have a favorite piece of fan art and/or fan fiction?

I don’t really have time to read fanfiction, plus that’d be kind of… I dunno if it’d be creepy or narcissistic to read about myself, honestly.

I don’t know about a favorite, but this picture is kinda funny.

And the effort that must have gone into this one is just flattering.

Can’t understand what you’re saying! I’m so~ sorry princess! We’ll obviously have to talk about this some other time! Ah ha ha ha!

Anonymous asked: do you use your magic at all when you play your lyre, or do you just use your hooves

is there some kinda lyre-pick you use?

It varies, depending on the complexity of the piece.

If it’s too hard, I just hold the lyre in my hooves and pick telekinetically.

kittysneezes asked: How would thumbs work with hooves, though? I'd think that part of the allure of thumbs is that fingers are the perfect compliment.

Well, I wouldn’t have to use so much magic when playing Call of Cutie: Modern Warmare 2.

Still have to use a little on the shoulder buttons.

Replace all the vowels in your name with “O”

Unfortunately, none of us have any money to pay you...

I’m flattered!

My sincerest apologies, little guy, but I don’t work for free. Specially in the middle of the night, with no prior knowledge. I’ve had a few so I’m a little too tipsy to be wondering around in the dark.

Tell you what though, if I get the green light from Bon-bon, we’re having a party Friday night and you and your animal friends will be invited!

I’ll probably play a piece or two then.

Might try drawing without outlines, to see if it’s easier/looks better.

Anonymous asked: Is the climax when you admit your feelings...
To you know...

I’d rather my entire life not end up being chick flick.

Love is important, sure, but I hope one day I can do something truly helpful and meaningful.

Anonymous asked: I dare you to lick that applesauce.

It’s been in the shower, it’s been diluted and probably started going bad. That would taste nasty.

Anonymous asked: How did you get that sign anyway?

Took me a minute of going through my history to find the site.

Anonymous asked: Are you sure it's applesauce and not actually Big Mac's uh... body fluids?

Smells like applesause. Has the consistency of applesause.

diamondmint asked: Since you mentioned playing bass, do you know anyone who needs a bass player? I would like to find a new band.

Sorry, no.

Now, if you wanted to work on commission in a recording booth, there are some channels I can go through. But it’s boring work, you’re better off elsewhere, if you can manage.

Anonymous asked: Have you ever tried tasting yourself or your hair to see if you taste like mint?

No.

I imagine it would, I use mint-scented shampoo. Maybe a little bit like apples too, since Applejack sent me that applesauce to try in my hair.
