1) A little. More than your average pony but not a whole lot. I’ve been around a few more than most growing up, but those were particularly negative experiences.
Gilda’s the only one I’ve ever been friends with.
2) The part where I typed it into Yahoof. Or are you going to turn it around and be all, “I was just talking about this other meaning for the word!” And if you were, why not just use a more descriptive phrase instead of slang?
3) Nope. This Lyra might be. The notion of robotic hands that you can take off sounds pretty nice, though.
This Lyra has studied humans, but she isn’t obsessed, she’s a professor.
Well, you really couldn’t have come to a better unicorn. I could tell you just about everything here is to know about magic, how it works, how unicorns use it, how other creatures use it. I likely know things that even somepony like Twilight Sparkle probably wouldn’t be trusted with, considering her potential and the dangers involved at this stage.
I couldn’t teach you a spell, but I could probably answer every question you could ever think of about magic theory. But I can’t.
Exactly how magic works isn’t meant for everypony to know. It holds certain risks from outside parties and even other unicorns. It’s a closely guarded secret and only a few ponies not connected to the royal family are permitted to know certain bits and pieces to preform their jobs. The only reason I know is that I stumbled upon some things back when I lived in Canterlot and asked some questions. I was trusted by the royal family and given the knowledge because there isn’t really anything I can do with it; I’m too magically frail.
About your specific question, this is what I can tell you. There is no way for an earth or pegasus pony to use magic like a unicorn. They can use objects with minor enchantments like wards or protections, but that’s it. If you want to study a magical substitute, I’ve recently learned of how powerful potion brewing can be. But the applications will be different.
That would be the royal family’s answer, so that’s all I can say about it.
1) I know it’s fantastic, and you’re free to look, but you can’t touch. Boscov is my boyfriend and I’m not sharing his fabulous flank with anypony.
2) Haven’t you heard? Stupid is in. Everypony is dating stupid. Too bad you aren’t stupid, huh?
3) Well, I’m no goddess of beauty, but I have enough self-esteem to not consider myself to be ugly.
4) Dude, you have problems.
5) Never really considered myself to be turquoise. I guess it feels alright.
1) I am feeling a little better, so hopefully. I’ll try to keep you posted.
2) You can have whatever word you want mean whatever you feel like, isn’t going to change how the majority identifies it.
Remember, language wasn’t invented so you could communicate with yourself. It was established so ponies could talk to one another. A word’s meaning is whatever the majority deems it to mean. If I say “frindle” how many of you know what object I’m talking about?
I’ve gone way offtrack. Point being, you can call a mare fat and not mean for it to be insulting, doesn’t mean she isn’t going to turn around an clock you. If you want to reverse that and not take it as an insult if some prick calls you fat, more power to you.
3) Thanks. By the way, I still haven’t gotten that letter so I still don’t know what the symbol looks like. Did you sent it to the right Lyra in the right dimension?
4) The winner, fillies and gentlecolts!
5) Most of the time it involves me remembering a funny clip from something and then looking for it, but failing at finding it in clip form, if at all, and settling for something different but similar.
1) We all have bad days.
Of course, the trash incident didn’t do much to improve her standing with Bon-Bon after she feels like Fluttershy hid from her back when Fluttershy was a fashion model.
2) And yours appears professionally done. And thanks! Truth be told, I do like how my version came out. Well, except for the cassette player.
3) Filly please. I haven’t even busted out the ascot yet.
This is the tablet I have, which I was only able to get because it was cheap. It’s worked pretty well!
tinyurl.com/7mdy3kx That tablet had really great reviews everywhere. The same site has smaller and cheaper ones available also!
There’s one! Sorry, I forgot to make it a question, anonymous. And thanks for the help so far, mutedgray!
The question was, “on a scale of one to ten, assuming i have less than 100 human dollars to spend, what kind of drawing tablet would you recommend for someone who has no talent in drawing, or as much talent as yourself really. maybe a little less talent.”
So, what do you ponies think?
mutedgrey:
For Lyra. I know you probably don’t feel well enough to be doing much lately, let alone dancing, but maybe you can live vicariously through doodles?
The very first post on asklyra is this sketch (left), credited to http://tenchisamoshi.deviantart.com/, although she doesn’t seem to have that sketch on her DA anymore. In any case, I thought I’d try coloring it (right).
I still have no idea what I’m doing with shading but I thought this came out a little better, more smooth and natural blending? I hope?
Ha ha~! I beat you to the punch months ago! Dare to compare!
…
I think you win this time.
Also, I don’t know if it’s just another fluke, but I’m feeling a bit better right now. Thanks for this!
Who does he think he is insulting both of us!?
Answers after the break. We got us some more questions past there too.

The big fields of gold on Lyra’s page were pretty and just begging to be decorated.
Your awesome is showing. Thanks for this.
