1) Well, yes. The real world does tend to be real.

2) Every now and again, certainly!

3) Stupid, huh? Charming.

Maybe I don’t want to follow around some windbag as she spouts existential jargon. Maybe I wanted to play at the concert level. But you know how good you have to be to do that professionally? You think I’m the only one with a special talent for playing the lyre? Special talents aren’t all created equal. You know how infrequently lyres are used in contemporary performances? The few spots available are taken by ponies that are just better than I am.

4) I don’t want to leave Equestria. As for where ponies came to Equestria from, historically those willing to put aside their differences followed our ancestors here. Those that couldn’t let go of their hate, stayed behind and perished.

I don’t really want to talk about marriage anymore…

5) I go by Lyra but my legal name, the stuff I fill out on official papers, is Liora, surname: not available. I could tell Jane McRandom that my surname is Freechmen if I felt like it, but it wouldn’t make it true.

6) I direct you here. Here. Here. And initial here.

Well, I mean yeah. Sure. It just seemed to… I guess, strike a chord with me. Pun intended.

I mean, have you ever came across a name or a word and thought, “Wow! That sounds great! It’s spelled great too! So eloquent! So beautiful! I really like that word! I want to use that word! I want to use that word whenever I can! I want to create situations just so I can use that word!”

Like Albert, or specifically to me, Lyra. Aren’t those just awesome names? Or sortie. Liberate. Qualm. Exodus.

Vega is just an awesome name. Know what I mean?

1) Possibly. Smooth Criminal might have had a similar affect.

2) Kids Gone Bad? Kick Gum Back? Kiss Green Bats?

3) I have no idea. Not something I make a calculated effort to discover.

4) Wasn’t that the thing I wasn’t supposed to answer for some reason? I can’t remember.

5) We are young. Heartache to heartache we stand.

… Shoot, already used that one.

6) Vega…?

…

Vega…

7) Oh. It’s an old post that I only just tagged, but my meta powers weren’t always around. They aren’t going to know anything from a time before they existed.

Oh, as an aside, if anypony was curious that is.

Know how I say I’ve been told I sound like a stallion? This singer sounds a lot like me when I’m singing. Just, you know, he does it on key.

So for those of you I’ve never met in person wondering, there you go. That’s sort of what I sound like.

Well, then that’s good! You just keep going and you’ll be drawing all awesome and stuff in no time!

1) Don’t know for sure. The ponies that took care of me when I was young celebrated it on the 6th of April, so I’ve always just gone with that.

Evidently, when they were still trying to find my parents, they had somepony come in to approximate my age. All they could get out of it was that I was born sometime between May and the end of April.

Good luck with your sleepover!

2) For like the third or forth time; no. Not yet, not ever.

3) I can see why you’d try making that connection, but I’d be lying if I said yes.

Try this one. Maybe not the best fit for the both of us together, but I like it. We’ll call it my Favorite Song for the day! Haven’t done one of those in a while.

4) Had to look for that one. Thought this was from a advert at first. In fact, I wish it was.

The full song I found instead was… Just awful…

I was going to link to this when I thought you were talking about a advert, now I’m doing it to get that song out of my head.

5 and 6) I’m gonna try. Thanks for the encouragement!

And as an aside, I’m not pitifully asking for ponies to cheer me on with some sad sap routine. I’m just telling the truth. I can’t draw, I’d like to be able to draw. Time will tell if the desire for the later is strong enough to fuel a change to the former.

I suppose I’m just as qualified to address this as anypony else. I’ve looked into the subject for what should seem like obvious reasons. Either way it’s not a short answer, so it’s after the break.

A different Lyra.

I’m not exactly fond of the notion of belonging to anypony.

I don’t know. My real name isn’t Lyra. It’s probably not Liora either.

Maybe my real name is Heartstrings. I still prefer Lyra.

Well, if this is Grity Lyra, and this is Silly Lyra, and this is Professor Lyra, and this is Band Lyra, and this is Normal Lyra…

I have no idea. I was just the First Lyra (check the date).

Edit: Also this one, but I’m not terribly familiar with her.

askbon-bon:

“Oh, Lyra.”

BON-BON! YOU UNHOLY HARPY, I FREAKIN’ KNEW IT!

…

Good one Bon-Bon! You got me again!

Funny you should mention my broken hoof!

You see, I ran into Discord during that whole catastrophe earlier today. He said that while he could never agree with the results, he appreciated my methods of deception.

He altered reality and fixed my hoof!

Granted, he then struck me deaf and blind and threw me in a giant washing machine, but hey! Turned out great for me in the end! After everything was back to normal, my hoof was still fixed!

So I’m actually out jogging right now!

lovetomorrowlove:

HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA! What’s going on!

Alright, this is the last one I’m uploading. I don’t care how many more of these are done.

This is just bonkers!

For whatever that means…

ethepony:

Lyra, thank you very much for posing; quite cute.  I hope the rest of your week goes better than today has.

This pony is so awesome! How can anypony get these things done so fast?!

Not really much to add to this one.

I dyed my hair once!

Also, why doesn’t this pony have a thousand followers already?

Ow.
