1) Then use your grabbers! </Bmo voice>
Everytime a Lyra mentions fingers or hands, a fandom jumps a shark.
2) That’s alright! I was curious, though. Thanks for letting me know! Hope you get things sorted out soon!
3) Bon-Bon: What are you going to do? Send her your tax information without asking first? For that matter, what do you expect me to do with it? I’ve never filed my own taxes. Before Lyra, I just hired somepony to do it for me.
4) Old maps you say? Any idea what they’re maps of? Ancient land formations? Migration patterns? Plant growth?
Sorry I haven’t done much. A friend and coworker I’ve spent a lot of time with this year was diagnosed with cervical cancer and I hadn’t even had a chance to talk to her until today. Hadn’t really been in the best spirits.
But other than the one point during the day when we talked about it, she seemed absolutely the same. Like nothing was even wrong at all. I don’t even know if that’s good sign or not.
Anyway, I’ll get back to thing here shortly.
I saw this on a worksheet about the letter “W” at work today.

1) Bon-Bon: Oh! I know this one! Where’s the Mountain Dew?!
Lyra: No, Bon-Bon, that was befor-
Bon-Bon: Where are the Cheetos?!
Lyra: And that was before that! I-
Bon-Bon: Are there any girls there?
Lyra: Bon-Bon, for the love of Celest-
Bon-Bon: Okay… But-if-there’s-any-girls-there-I-want-to-d-!
2) Thank you! Let me know how things turn out!
3) “Well, at least you didn’t bother using asterisks for your narrated command,” Lyra replied with a flippant, dismissive flick of her hoof.


1) Thank you, Rainbow! If it makes you feel any better, most of the new followers I have still follow me. Some older followers unfollowed me instead. That or closed their accounts.
2) When’s the last time I watched a sunrise…?
3) Nu-uh! I cast Mordenkainen’s Faithful Watchdog! I’d have known they were coming!
4) Well, that’s one way to live a life. Keeps ya active and attentive at least!
Not the life for me, though.

1) I swear to Celestia, if this is another grimdark tumblr…
… [Omitted]! Stop sending me this stuff!
2) Well, yes and no. Yes, waiting a little bit can give tempers a chance to cool and make apologies smoother and more sincere. No, you can’t just pretend nothing ever happened. Those can become these things called “grudges,” and those are bad.
Of course, I’m assuming the question is about if you’re sorry for making them mad. If you intentionally cheese somepony off to force them around or make a point, I don’t know what to tell you.
3) Oh my Cels, you ponies look for mysteries where there isn’t any! He doesn’t have a secret identity! B is his identity! The only reason he can’t tell you his former identity is because he’s supposed to be dead! How would you feel if your son died; you saw him buried. And suddenly, “Oop, he’s not dead. He’s been alive this whole time! But you can never see him again or acknowledge his existence because you might be targeted.”
4) “Oh, you know. Just hangin’ out on a volcano. Chillin’ with a dragon. No big.”
You kill me, Strawberry. For anypony else that would be a once-in-a-lifetime event. For you, it’s just “Oh yeah, there’s a blizzard too. No big whoop.”
Great to hear that you’re doing well!

Also, hello and bye to all the new followers I just got! Sorry if you thought this was a decent tumblr! It’s really not. Take care, though!


1) Ebonics can have a lot of dialects, depending on region.
2) Sink the ship when it nears land. ‘Cause I have magic.
If you were expecting a serious answer, you didn’t give enough information.
3) Yes yes. Right.
I didn’t care for Samurai Warriors and I never played Orochi. The Gundam variation was alright, but I didn’t like how weak the traditionally ranged mechs were and the focus on dodging instead of blocking.

1) I know, right? I was pretty upset.
2) I knew what you meant. If I were to hazard a guess, since they did fix it, they’re probably working on adding different search filters and “most notes” got pushed to default by accident.
3) Why didn’t I think to do that? Oh well.
4) Well, of course. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yu, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong. I mean, Zhao Yu is the whole reason the series was created!
Shu has some of the best scenes.
5) Strawberry! Hey! How’s it going?

I seriously doubt that it was a glitch. For a newer member or somepony just searching the tag for the first time, the posts with the most notes usually have something visual to look at. And that’s more appealing to draw in new members.
But if they’re fixing it, I don’t really care if it was intentional or not. Thanks for the info! Hope it turns out to be true!
Edit: A~nd it’s already fixed! Yay!
Well, I used to watch the asklyra tag in case someone posted anything about me, but I guess it’s useless now. Tags are now sorted in order of notes instead of chronologically.
If anyone knows a way to switch the ordering, I’d be delighted to hear it?
Edit: Evidently they changed it back. I’ll keep watching the tag!

Temporary new avatar.

I find most conversations about video games to be dull and boring, but you’ll have to excuse me while I go off on a tangent.
Dynasty Warriors is a series that takes place in your world’s ancient China. It’s about the events leading up to and subsequent war that took place over the course of about a hundred years.
It’s an action arcade-style beat-em-up. The mechanical draw of the games are the shear numbers of active units on screen at once. You’re literally up against hundreds of enemies at a time, with thousands placed throughout the map. On the easiest setting, you can wade through just about anything and decimate the battlefield. On the harder settings you need to pay attention to the objectives, troop placement, any requests for aid, all while fighting against hordes of enemies that can easily whittle you down, or enemy generals that can drop you in a combo or two.
The voice acting and choreography in cutscenes are super cheesey. There’s such a volume of characters that many wind up being lack-luster; with personalities that are no deeper than a puddle. A lot of the fights are historically inaccurate on a grand scale. But it is just so… all-in, over-the-top, ridiculously framed, fast-paced fun that I’ve been a fan since the series started proper with Dynasty Warriors 2.
And each one has had a different flavor, as far as game modes. 3 was my favorite up until 7, but it looks like 8 is going to top that in spades.
That was a lot more text than I originally intended. Here’s the final battle music to 7. Which is, like, the best track from the whole dang series.


1) Praying Mantis Stick-Figure Pony: GO!

2) Little more time. I’m sort of waiting for something.
3) Oh, gosh. There’s so many. I’ll just pick my favorites from each kingdom. Pang Tong from Shu, Zhang He from Wei, Taishi Ci from Wu, Sima Shi from Jin, and Meng Huo among the other factions.
Wu’s my favorite side, though. I got so many favorites in Wu. And oh my Cels! We finally get to play as Lu Su! And Li Dian! And Zuo Ci from 5 is coming back! And every character has their own weapon plus the weapon switch system from 7 on top of that! There’s 70 characters! That’s 70 different weapons! 70 different fighting styles!
I will say I was a little surprised to see Lu Su playable, but not Cheng Pu. Maybe he’ll be playable in the next one.
4) I’m so stoked! I shouldn’t have read so much about it! I can’t stand the wait!
Oh my Cels! I just found out Dynasty Warriors 8 is coming to Equestria in 3 months and it will be available on 360! I’m so excited! I was nervous they might not release it here at all.
