askstarcatcher-deactivated20111 asked: So Bon-Bon tested the applesauce, and it is indeed applesauce.
*huge sigh of relief*

I saw.

Maybe that wasn’t the best way to find out though.

Anonymous asked: how well do you know octavia and vinyl scratch?

Octavia is amazing! I wish I was half as talented as her!

I don’t really know her well, though. Actually, I’m kinda nervous about Bon-bon inviting her to the party Friday night.

I don’t really know DJ Pon3 either. She seems very passionate about music, and I don’t really like techno. I don’t think we’d have much in common.

Anonymous asked: So who's your chiropractor and how often do you see him per day?

You mean this?

I was being facetious.

Anonymous asked: What's your favorite animal?

Penguins!

Celles… That penguin came out evil! I guess I kinda drew it too fast.

Anonymous asked: Who are your best friends in the whole world?

Bon-bon; hooves down. Couldn’t ask for a better friend. But you probably could have figured that one.

I really like hanging out with Derpy. Applejack is really nice. I’d really like to hang out with Cheerilee more; she’s a hoot-and-a-half!

I haven’t really heard from any of my old friends in Canterlot. Guess they don’t miss me. Not a huge deal, I don’t guess.

Anonymous asked: What's the oddest/funniest thing you've ever seen in ponyville?

The oddest, which was also the most terrifying, was definitely when those stupid bugs over-multiplied. Parasprites I think Pinkie called them. Anyway, that was a harrowing experience. Made me really worried.

Funniest thing? Not sure, but Rainbow Dash and Applejack cheating each other during the Running of the Leaves was pretty funny to watch. It was almost like a cartoon.

askbloomberg-blog asked: I heard Bon-bon say she thinks you're super lame.

Whatever. I don’t even know you.

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.

stilllunaanswers asked: SHO, LYRUH, 'owsh 'ur carush 'un Bues goin...?

I-uh…

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”

Ozoro Codobro

HOLY CRAP THAT NAME IS AWESOME.

Also, who are you, and why am I watching you?

Opplojock.

…Jock?

Geeze that name is…not right. I’m good bein’ Applejack.

Scootoloo

Loro or Looro, both of which sound kinda dumb.

askangeltherabbit-deactivated20 asked: The animals back at Fluttershy's cottage are asking for a performance by you, Lyra.


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.
