I direct your attention here.

And these repeat questions aren’t so bad, I guess. Makes me go back and tag my posts anyway.

Nah.

Don’t want to start a precedent of letting people manipulate me like I’m some kind of television avatar.

Does it seem strange that I’d say television instead of, I dunno, a doll? Seems strange to me…

asksugarsong-blog asked: Hey Lyra, does Bon-Bon make a good roommate or can she be a bit annoying at times?

Her sense of humor can be a bit off. And she seems to take Derpy raiding our fridge as a personal attack to herself. But my friends can be a little unorthodox, and she’s a pretty decent sport about it.

Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better roommate.

Anonymous asked: Ugh. This Tumblr thing just isn't working for me. But anyway, you free to get lunch tomorrow? Pinkie has the lunch shift at the shop tomorrow, so if you can come[:
~Bon-Bon [bon-bon-answers]

I guess.

You don’t normally eat out… I mean, you wouldn’t have enough time to make anything, so I guess that makes sense.

Sure.

askbon-bon-deactivated20110928 asked: Well, it's okay! At least Hoity Toity knows how happy you were! xDD;;

OHMYCELLES! I never answered him!

rainbowdash-answers asked: Don't listen to them these ponys aren't any better! :) Hey what do you think is the powerfullst spell anypony ever did? :P It's a tough question, but your'e smart! :3

Are you kidding? The most powerful spell ever is preformed every single day!

Barring the truly righteous acts of deities and their solar manipulating phenomenon, I saw Twilight Sparkle against that Ursa Minor. Those were just some epic spells she displayed, but some epic brainpower too.

She not only lifted a water tower filled with milk, but an entire Ursa Minor too, at the same time! And then she carried them both all the way back to its cave! That’s about as hardcore as I think it can get.

Anonymous asked: Dear Lyra,
Are you aware of your tongue? Because if you aren't, you are now :)

Hm…

Now I’m thirsty too.

Anonymous asked: So I herd u liek string instruments.

ME TOO! :D

Are there any music stores in Ponyville? I just went to Sam Ash the other day and they had an awesome guitar-like thingy called a Tres Cubano. What's the most interesting instrument you've ever played/tried to play?

You know? I haven’t really looked. Nothings happened to any of my instruments since I moved so I haven’t given it a second thought. I imagine so, I mean, that’s fairly standard, right?

Sitar, definitely. It has such a sweet sound! But I can’t play it very well.

I saw somepony play this one string instrument that you sit flat on the ground and play with picks and some kind of slide bar or somethin’. Now that sounded wild, but I’ve never tried one of those. Not even sure what it’s called.

askbon-bon-deactivated20110928 asked: Lyraaaaa, I finally decided to make a blog! I know I could easily just ask you in the your room, but what are you doing? :D

I’m still trying to figure out how my webcam got turned on last night. OH MY CELESTIA THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING!

talktohoitytoity-blog asked: Lyra, how DO you keep your mane looking so fresh and clean? It's so...fashionable!

ask-cheerilee-blog asked: Oh, Lyra...I think the lyre is lovely!

Thanks!

I can play the harp a little too. And the sitar. Nothing too fast, though.

kidneo-deactivated20110713 asked: Hey, Lyra. I saw what Octavia said earlier. I don't care what she thinks, you'll always be awesome in my book. ;)

Onto my question now. Any favorite movies?

I really liked Finding Nemo.

I mean, sure, it had your classic journey arc. Nothing really out of the ordinary there. The jokes weren’t awe-inspiring or anything. But it did that archetypical storyline better than any other movie I’ve ever seen.

Wall-e was fun too.

Princess Bride.

Oh! Blazing Saddles! Holy cud is that movie funny! Don’t let the fillies watch that one uncensored, though.

Unbreakable.

I’m trying to think of movies I always sit down and watch whenever they’re on.

askthederpyhooves-deactivated20 asked: Lyra, why you sit up? You know you get teaseyd almost as much as me

I’ll tell you what I’ve learned. As long as you aren’t hurting anyone, you do what you want to do and ignore any neighsayers.

You’re a good friend Derpy, don’t let what anypony says make you think different.

rennysama-deactivated20160409 asked: You may feel sad now, but i think you're a Good musician, probably coming up equals with Octavia... But i don't think i should be cheering you up; I have no idea whats going on. *points at name*
And the Cutie Mark Crusaders?? The 3 overly energetic Fillies that run around ponyville trying to get their cutie marks? You know, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo? Oh well, have a complementary Cookie :3 *hands a chocolate chip cookie* Oh, i forgot a question again... um... Whats your favourite colour?

I don’t understand. Your name says…

Oh, well yeah. I guess that makes sense.

OH! Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo! Of course! They won the comedy act at that Talent Show. What was your question about them? Which is best? You don’t want to do that, might give the poor fillies a disorder or somethin’.

Thanks for the cookie, and I know it’s cliché, but I really do like wintergreen. Orange too, come to think of it.
