I think you’re allowed to be proud of it. I don’t even know how to do .gifs! Well done, Lyra!

Answers after the break.

1) There is no uniform symbol of marriage outside of a band of some kind. Unicorns don’t always use horn rings, and a horn ring doesn’t always mean marriage. Bracelets are common, though.

2) Thank you!

Though to be honest, sometimes I look at the number of plays some pieces have and I get a little depressed. That’s an awful long time to spend on something for only a few dozen ponies to even bother listening to half a second of it.

3) Not often.

4) I try not to critically think about it. There’s just a lot of ponies that look like other ponies.

5) Gilda said I sound like a guy.

6) Angst-y?

…

Bite me.

7) I played an electric lyre a few times. Not big on loud, though. Too much noise pollution already.

8) No. I wasn’t stupid enough to even try fighting. Sure, I could have took a few easily, but there were too many. I’d have just been worn down.

I threw rocks and taunted them to draw them away from others.

9) That’d be nice.

10) Wouldn’t you rather be reprogrammed?

11) I never said anything derogatory about Changlings as a species. I maintain that those involved in the attack on Canterlot are vile.

I hate shapeshifters, but that’s unrelated and not your fault. I am but a pony and I have my faults. The good news is there’s always exceptions to every rule.

12)

13) Trying to hoist me with my own petard, are we?

While misguided and improper, she was attempting to better her own species.

14) Thanks! I used this old program an artist recommended years ago called EasyToon. If you ever want to give animation a go, can’t think of a better place to start! Just save often.
