Ask Lyra

the-shady-bacon asked: On Bon-bon's tublr, she claims that you two are married. So which one of you is trolling us?

She’s heard the rumors as much as I have. Her reaction is a little different.

I honestly still can’t get my head around the whole thing. Don’t people room up together where you bronies come from without being in a romantic relationship? It’s a much cheaper alternative to paying all the home-owning expenses yourself.

Sorry, I didn’t. My mind was elsewhere.

Give me another chance.

steveneverypony asked: Dear Lyra (big fan btw),
What are some of your favorite t.v. shows/movies?

http://asklyra.tumblr.com/tagged/Television

Despite my complaints, I do like those shows.

To add to that list (at least, with shows that still air).

Adventure Time.

Regular Show.

That new ‘The Looney Tunes Show’ can be a trip sometimes.

All of the CSIs and NCIS.

As for movies.

Liar Liar.

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

The original Star Wars trilogy.

The Back to the Future trilogy.

Last Action Hero had my favorite villain ever!

“I just shot a man, and I’d like to confess!”

You go right the hay on, brony.

Anonymous asked: When was the last time you kissed Bon-Bon?

Oh, this morning. We made passionate love on the couch while listening to the weather channel.

And I direct your attention in particular to the sign.

Anonymous asked: Can you play through the fire and the flames on lyre?

I’m not familiar with that piece, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s probably not made for a lyre player.

So to answer that, I’d need to know not only what that piece is, but what instrument I’m supposed to be playing in place of. The simplicity of the lyre makes it versatile for a number of rolls.

asksugarsong-blog asked: Hey Lyra! I heard that most unicorns only have a little magic to go with their special talent. What magic does your talent give you?

But specifically to my cutie mark?

I dunno. The lyre is sort of a simple instrument. No frets, only so many strings. And I can play the harp and the sitar a little.

Maybe I have a little talent with all string instruments. I’ve never tried, to be honest.

I guess having a cutie mark and completely understanding it are two different things.

Anonymous asked: Do you ever feel as though your parents forced you into your destiny by naming you after a musical instrument?

Well, no. Because my actual name isn’t Lyra. It’s Liora.

When I got my cutie mark, I dropped the “o” and turned the ‘i’ into a “y”.

I thought it was clever.

Anonymous asked: How often do you get asked about mints just because you're green?

Somepony asked me that once.

Didn’t quite know how to respond.

Anonymous asked: If you didn't have bon-bon, what would you do?
What. Would. You. Do?

Well, I prearranged to move in with Bon-bon as a roommate when I moved to Ponyville. I guess if that didn’t happen I’d have moved in with somepony else.

And if no one was available? Maybe I’d have stayed in Canterlot. Maybe I’d have moved out into the wilderness.

I certainly prefer this set up. Bon-bon is a great friend!

Anonymous asked: Are you Irish?
Do you frequently get drunk?

Not one hundred percent on what Irish means.

I drink, sure. But I make it a marked effort to not get drunk. That’s not just disrespectful to your real friends, who now have to look after you, but to yourself as well.

cest-la-venus asked: How much/what sort of magic are you capable of?
