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.

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.
Thanks, Cheerilee.
Gotta keep a smile on.
I must ask, though, doesn’t it…y’know…hurt?
Incredibly! I have to go to a chiropractor everyday!

And I'm glad it was entertainin', haha.
Let me know if you plan another competition anytime soon! Bon-bon and I would love to watch! You mares are so gifted!
Anonymous asked: You don't have much self-confidence, do you?
It’s hard not being particularly good at anything.
Sometimes I think the cosmos gave me a lyre as a cutie mark out of pity.
I say this with a smile. I’m fine, really. I apologize for my behavior earlier.
Thanks, Cheerilee.
Gotta keep a smile on.

askapple-jack-blog asked: Hey there Lyra! How are ya doin', hm? Haven't spoken ta ya inna while, thought I'd drop by and say howdy.
Hi Applejack. I’m alright, how are you?
Sorry about wondering onto your farmland during that Iron Pony thing. I don’t guess anyone asked for permission, and it was sort of my idea.
It was really fun to watch, though.
rennysama-deactivated20160409 asked: Why are you sad? You impress lots of people! I mean, look at your HUGE fanbase! And who needs that snooty Octavia anyway, right?
Oh right, a question.... Um.... Which Cutie Mark Crusader do you think is best?
No… You just don’t understand…
Octavia is like, a professional performer. The reason I’ve only played with her a two or three times is because she’s completely out of my league. I work by commission because nopony wants me full-time. I’m just not good enough…
Most of the time I don’t even play live, and when I do, it’s because there’s so many musician’s present that it’s less obvious when I screw up. The majority of the time I’m in a recording booth, alone, playing the same piece about five or six times until they get enough to splice together.
The thought that I’m just completely irreverent to her was just more than I could take at once, even if it makes perfect sense. I don’t blame her, it’s not like she was being spiteful. She was just telling the truth.
I’m probably just being emotional.
I’m sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I was never very good at history.
