#I-forgot-that-your-muse-is-so-strong-it-gained-self-awareness
Unfortunately, I can’t find the source, but that’s beside the point.
Let me tell you all a little story.The year was 2011. September. Tumblrpon was still fairly small, and I was still Polkadots. In my initial searchings, I came across Ask Lyra, who was and still is one of the best roleplayers in the fandom. Back then, what I thought I would do in Tumblrpon was to toss pictures I found at roleplayers/drawblogs of their respective characters, to see how they respond. So, I took this picture and tossed it at her, thinking a funny response involving botched haircuts would come back. Instead, I got something along these lines:
“Nothing, because this never happened. I would never let Derpy near my hair with anything that sharp.”
In that, I learnt one property of the ‘multiverse’ that we’ve set up: It is entirely up to the mod of a RPr/drawblog if something applies to that character. This is true for canon (to a degree), fanon, and imagery.
Via that, I realized that the reason I gave myself for interacting with Tumblrpon wouldn’t work, so I would have to come up with something else. I decided that if I couldn’t easily get reactions from the characters, I would just have to target my fellow audience!
So, in short, comment on reblogs! Say your thoughts, your feelings, everything! I might not be able to read them all, but reading them is what I enjoy most about what I do here in Tumblrpon. In doing so, I feel glad to have evoked that feeling in you. I feel like I have a purpose here, and that in continuing to do what I do I have a positive impact on Tumblrpon.
Holy [omitted]! I remember that message! That was you?
I feel pretty humbled that I inadvertently caused you to become Fisherpon!

1) I don’t think so. I haven’t noticed anything, and I’m pretty good with this.
Like that Discord attack where ponies were acting like the events lasted for a week when it really was only about six hours long. Now how they knew it was going to happen in the first place, I have no idea, but it certainly didn’t last that long.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say it was a byproduct of not knowing the outcome of a situation before jumping on a bandwagon. But I’m a patient sort.
2) I hope I can dance better than that.
3) [Five Minutes Later]
Want me to put in Mickey Mouse Safari in Letterland?
1) Like you couldn’t find three hundred artistic interpretations before I could grab a camera. If I was going to.
2) She was really confused and I have no idea if it’s real or not. I mean it’s probably not but the food is obviously real.
I don’t think we got whatever joke was there. Sorry.
3) Followed!
4) I was explaining to Bon-Bon how I didn’t know what this video was going to be and then this happened.
She laughed.
5) Any argument as to why?
6) I told you to quit stealing my mares. I needed those for the hard part!
[video]
1) I still subscribe to the City of Ponies belief that influence is power.
2) Nah. Will take some time before my system is completely back to normal, but I’m alright.
3) Uh… A while I guess. I usually drink water from a bottle.
4) Level six?! A~H!
5) Can I get some lyrics here?
1) Yeah, but it’s a little different if it really exists.
2) If you’re casting a spell, you need to capitalize proper names. It’s not hug; it’s Hug.
3) Thanks! I like the way swing rhythm sounds! Just wish it wasn’t so hard to do.
4) Glad you like it! Not the track I was originally working on for you, but it’s the best I could do for now.
1) Well, it was going to be next Tuesday, but somepony just ruined it. Now I’ll have to move things around.
2) This is my favorite kind of question. Really. I just love thinking about this.
3) Well played, little filly.
4) I’m sorry. I’m not used to differing economic models. Could you explain?
5) Somewhere between two and seven percent, I imagine. I’m only guessing, though.
6) None that come to mind.
7) Oh sweetheart, you opened up my eyes.
But that is still a stupid name.
1) Elementary, my dear Jacob.
2) Okay. Following you so far.
3) According to your human french history, a rebellion. Pretty dangerous stuff.
4) Depending on interpretation of the term “king,” there were some rulers that thought they were gods. Further, what are the powers of the god?
I think I see where you’re going with this, though.
5) If the god actually exists, they’re still a god. Doesn’t matter if you believe in a wasp’s nest or not, they’ll still tear you up if you get too close. The question is if it’s real or not.
6) I was gathering information about quality, faculty, facility, residents; somepony else gathered information about any orphans that still lived on the streets, among other things. There were a number of towns without any orphanages, and there were supposed to be efforts to correct that in the works, but things have been held up so many times I don’t know if they’ll ever really go through with it. Red tape.
But I needed a reason to get away from Canterlot.
7) Save up? Yeah. Let’s see if I can get out of the red first. That’s why I was looking forward to the trip with my bearfriend. I can’t afford any of this stuff. But we had to cancel it.
Not sure how much I’d want to go “exotic,” but I’d certainly like to visit somewhere else at a slower pace.
Thanks for the offer, though! That was nice!
8) My bearfriend being cold as ice, fillies and gentlecolts.
Featuring Multi-tool, Cactus, Harp, Crystal ball, Medic knapsack and Flan
Not sure why my object name is Harp when I’m clearly a lyre, but whatevs. It’s still awesome! Thanks! I especially like Scoota-Bot’s and Charlie’s!
1) Thanks. Always nice to meet a fan.
2) Love you too, anon.
3) Well, it is still wintery… I could change it back for now.
4) Are good at boxing.
5) I neither confirm nor deny any information about my person without explicit knowledge before hoof of the details in question.
6) O~h, there’s been a few times…
But of course I’d never, Strawberry.
7) Sorry, I don’t mean for you to be tailoring posts to me. I just like your drawings!
8) La la la! I can’t hear you…!
Read you.
I can’t read you! Eyes are cloeasefde!@
1) I finished Krastos’ present, but now I’m not sure if I want to give it to him or not. He’s going to be really busy… He won’t get to use it. Maybe I should just try to find something to buy after all.
2) Regrettably.
3) Sounds like a minor misunderstanding. This was less of a vacation-type thing and more of an information gathering-type thing. I was specifically gathering information about orphanages.
There were several of us in each group as we traveled. Whole thing took place over only a few weeks. We were rarely in a town for a day; sometimes went through a few. Barely got to see or do anything. Extremely low funded operation. We had to even bring non-perishable food with us for nearly the whole trip.
As sort of a celebration, though, we ate at a cheaper restaurant and I got these parmesan noodles with spaghetti sauce? That was good! I’ve had it a few times since then.
Immediately after that was when I was employed as an ambonic musician.
4) I guess being walked around the hallways of the castle from one room to another. I had to be shifted around a lot. Pretty fantastic place, if you’ve never been though.
5) Well, I got through the introduction. That is a lot to look through, even without the text rips. I wasn’t aware that Ion Storm had a bad reputation at the time. I never played the game on computer, only PS2, so I got a hold of it quite a while after it first launched.
6) That’s what we called them back in the streets, and they didn’t seem to care. They referred to themselves the same way. But once I moved to Ponyville everypony was all “You can’t say that! That’s offensive!” So… I dunno. Regional, I guess.
(via former-askapinkpuffball-deactiv)
So, I was gonna do this thing where I didn’t post for a while, then ponies would reread the last post and see the last answer and then they’d be all “Oh no! You weren’t serious, were you Lyra? Please come back! We love you!”
Only that didn’t happen… I update everyday, but I didn’t make a post for just shy of three days and nopony said anything about it…
I’m cry.
1) New Horseleans? Please be joking. That can’t exist. A good and just Celestia wouldn’t allow it.
2) A couple of years ago when I was with my last coltfriend. I didn’t trust him.
He was clean, though. ‘Bout the only positive thing about the guy…
3) Would probably get a less bias opinion from bear-bear.
4) Yay! What do I win?!
5) As long as you don’t call me Johnson.
6) Because we don’t want to execute them. We just want them to leave us alone.
7) I don’t think you do. I think it’s a want; not a need.
