Ask Lyra

I'm thinking I might try playing the Legendary Guitar Grecotch instead of just hitting Shadows with it next time they show up. Do you have any idea how dangerous should I expect the effects of playing punk rock on what seems to be some sort of divine instrument to be?

I wouldn’t expect it to be dangerous to you. Possibly to anypony, or anything around you.

Say, did you get the unlimited revolver from Kaysen’s dog?

Should I try to be a dragon?

theblackstrawberry

Depending upon your age, that might making visiting me a lot more difficult.

You can choose to be a filly or a colt. I just wouldn’t recommend both.

So much drama on tumblr lately....

Hit me like a freight train; I can tell you that much.

I'm going to be a young filly colt!

theblackstrawberry

Um… If you can choose, you might want to reconsider.

oooh, medication, like amphetamines? that stuff really helped me. i ate less and got perfect grades for the few months that i took it, unfortunately they had to double my dose every month because it started not working. they ran out of doses after like four months

garyyo

Yeah… Not really a long term solution.

Nevermind the cost.

Kind of, I'll be more defined this time.

theblackstrawberry

Well, if you’re a colt, obviously you’d want darker colors than a filly.

If you can choose, that is.

Anypony seen Mint?

She isn’t at the hospital.

this sweetie belle thing, yeah i had a similar situation when i was younger, except no one tried to help me, just assumed i was lazy or something. the only advice i can give is to talk to her about it but you probably already thought of that.

garyyo

It’s not her fault. And I don’t want her to believe for one second that she’s somehow doing something wrong.

If the stupid school system would let me pack her a soda or something I’m sure she’d be fine! All they could suggest was some medication. How is that supposed to be better?

Dont worry I wouldn't have been offended or anything, before I was a cat I looked pretty androgynous. My name doesn't help with gender, so it was funny to hear people say he or she, and it would change all the time.

theblackstrawberry

Oh…

So… You’ll choose your gender when you become a pony too?

I'm going to be a unicorn, it's what i remember when i was super young. I dont remember what colors I was, do you want to pick?

theblackstrawberry

Possibly offensive question incoming.

You’re a guy, right?

I can’t think of any combinations that won’t look feminine…

How about just a brown coat with dark red hair? Similar to what you look like now.

Maybe a white highlight somewhere… I don’t know…

W-Wow you are really quite the musican Lyra~ h-how do you figure these thing out~ I'm not sure I could do all those fancy things when I sing~

askraincloud-deactivated2012012

Well, I had some formal instruction.

Mostly I’m just playing by sheet music. It’s infinitely easier.

Hello, Lyra~! Long time, no see.

syntheticearth

Hello, alternate Octavia!

What’s good?

Bon-Bon: Hey...i'm sorry for what i did other lyra :( i didnt want to scare you but that apple that hit me in the head made me go insane thanks to lyra im ok now ^_^ ((if u dont know wat im talking about just check my blog))

lffb100

You sure you’re okay? ‘Cause when you said rope, I was ready to fight for my life!

Should I be considering you a musical genius?~

askraincloud-deactivated2012012

I wouldn’t, no.

You’re looking for a composer. I’m just a performer.

Well… I have no idea what to do.

Since it’s over, I might as well explain. I was accused of helping Sweetie Belle cheat on her homework several times, which was bull-… Not true. However, that didn’t change the fact that evidently Sweetie was struggling in the classroom, but not at home. She knows the material, but she’s having trouble staying focused in class.

I had Sweetie tested for an IEP (if you don’t know what it is, don’t worry about it), but I sat in with her that time. She freaken aced the thing… She logically pieced together answers for material her classroom hasn’t even covered yet!

The school can’t give her an IEP if they can’t recognize a problem, and I can’t reliably stay with her all day.

So now, nobody knows what the hay to do.

I just dropped off Sweetie. Mint, I’m on my way to the hospital.
