Ask Lyra

How long have you and Bon-Bon been rooming?

Anonymous

Well, I moved to Ponyville the day after the last Summer Sun Celebration. And I had already prearranged things with Bon-bon before I moved. So.. however much time has passed since then.

What month is it? What season is it?

can you really remove your horn or is that just an evil twin?

What are you talking about?

Look, there I am with Bon-bon. Nothing wrong.

OH DEARS!

…

Uh…

…

Oh look… Colgate… I wonder why she doesn’t have a Tumblr yet. She’s pretty popular, right?

bad hair Lyra is always sexy

also, check it out, my browser reads "lyra" as a mistake unless I capitalize the L

That’s because Lyra is a proper name, silly.

The lyre is an instrument.

So, woke up from a nightmare last night/early morning and it took me forever to fall back to sleep. Tossed and turned for hours.

Going to try and brush my hair again now; it’s all so matted to my head.

Hey Lyra!

Do you ever watch Equestrian Idol? If yes, then do you think it's a cool thing to do? I kinda wanna watch it.

Uh… not really a fan of reality shows.

But hey, if you want to get up there and give it a whirl, go for it. There’s bits to be had, I’m told.

If you wanna wanna compete with everypony else on here, you're gonna have to step up your game and draw your responses. How about you try that right now?

I dunno. Pinkie Pie is pretty popular, right? She doesn’t draw at all.

Besides, if I drew something right this instant, that would just play into your hoof. I’m too smart for that.

I think.

Is it true you want to be human, and if so why?

What’s a human? I keep seeing it pop up every now and again, but whenever I do a Poony search, I can’t find anything.

…

Meta powers apologies if only using two O’s is too vague a reference. It’s kinda early.

I'll be making an account, and I'll be coming back
is that cool?

Bon-bon laughed at first, then I told her ponies all over the world could see this.

Then I laughed.

I would indeed free myself from anonymity
but alas, this is not my account, so for respect to my brother, I shall not post with his name

Just make another one, brony.

Or not I guess. It doesn’t really concern me.

This is probably a stupid question to ask, but what are meta powers?

Anonymous

You know.

The ability to see beyond the veil… into realities not of our own… to be granted information one could not otherwise possess.

Hold on, maybe meta powers can explain it better.

…

Basically, the ability to make a joke about the fact that I’m a pony talking to humans on the internet, when I’m actually a bowling ball dreaming I’m a plate of sashimi.

…

I rarely know what the hay meta powers is talking about.

"The Closer" refers to a specific subset of lawyers dedicated to working out either plea bargains between a DA's office and a defendant or working out business buyouts. They're often referred to a "closers." Incidentally, the new Equestria Network show "Saddles" is about business-oriented closers.

Also, question: if ponies watch TV, why haven't they shown any TVs in the show? Is the show actually an Equestrian equivalent of a sitcom?

Ugh… meta powers kickin’ in fierce this time.

…

Meta powers says it read an official MLP tumbler that says we don’t have television, or any entertainment machine beyond a radio or a vinyl player. Computers are supposed to be those huge, honking, room-sized monstrosities, and electricity is supposed to either be generated by lightening or magic.

With that in mind. I shouldn’t even have a computer, I mean, Bon-bon and I aren’t exactly poor, but we certainly aren’t saving up much right now. Only way we could afford DVRs and computers would be if they were at regular, house-hold prices.

I think what meta powers is driving at is, we have access to whatever can make a decent punchline. A lot of nonsense, but there you go.

So, upon reading some posts, you asked how that would work between two mares. I... won't tell you, but Twilight has a book on it. Seriously, she has a book. A storybook, mind, and it required two UNICORNS, and only ponies in CANTERLOT seem to believe it,but my point is proven. I think. Don't ask her why she kept it. Really, I mean, i still have the bruises.

… I’m waiting for meta powers to kick in…

…

… Looks like even they got nothing this time.

So, Lyra. What made you decide to take up learning the lyre in the first place?

Glad someone got that joke from earlier (unless you skipped over it entirely).

Honestly? ‘cause as a filly harps were too big. My cutie mark represents settling for what’s tangible. Grand dreams are nice, but it’s always important to keep one hoof on the ground.

is Lyrica your mother? and is Lyr your daughter?

sugoiney-weaver

Who?

And again, don’t have a daughter, or any offspring.
