1) Bon-Bon: Sure! I do spend a lot of time at home working on recipes, but I also watch television and keep in contact with high school friends! Plus, Lyra and I still go out a lot.

2) I looked at it, but it just seems so… I mean the limited motions were fine for a snes game, but trying to imitate that on higher graphics just makes things look choppy. And you move wa~y too fast. Looks unnatural. It’s just not right seeing Michelangelo book like he’s Megaman X.

As for the music, if I had the sheet music then… Well technically. I’m really not sure how many more musical things I’m even going to upload. It’s a lot of work recording and nopony even listens anymore. I spent two-three hours on thirty seconds of music and nopony had the time to listen to even that.

3) I follow you. I have a number of comments to reply with, but I certainly understand your point of view.

Firstly is the watched pot phenomenon. Maybe things are changing, but they’re moving too subtly for you to notice.
Secondly, maybe things are moving behind the scenes that the audience can’t see at the moment. After all, that’s how the world works. Things are always changing, but we’ll never see them all at the moment they’re happening; we find out after the fact.
Thirdly, if it’s a page that requires audience participation, maybe the audience hasn’t been pushing the plot along. See, sometimes authors can get stuck on a certain subject if the audience seems interested in it. If the viewers seem to be enjoying “slice of life”, then why force them on a journey they didn’t ask for?

Again, though, completely understand. If possible, my advise would be to push for what you want out of the story. But understand that if you’re interacting with the character and not the author, you’ll sometimes be met with realistic resistance that you may need to push through or find some other way around. Remember that a good character is flawed. They make mistakes and they can be caught in lies.

4) Depends on the developer. Lion Break is the big one. They’ve been doing the “official” localization for the GTA series since 3. And it’s pretty much a completely different game when they’re through with it.

As for being secretive, I feel the aliens issue would be at the heart of it. You humans really make a big deal out of whether or not you’re alone.

5) Zelda/Sheik. Malon is cool too. I also liked the mask seller.

1) I don’t think so. I haven’t noticed anything, and I’m pretty good with this.

Like that Discord attack where ponies were acting like the events lasted for a week when it really was only about six hours long. Now how they knew it was going to happen in the first place, I have no idea, but it certainly didn’t last that long.

If I didn’t know better, I’d say it was a byproduct of not knowing the outcome of a situation before jumping on a bandwagon. But I’m a patient sort.

2) I hope I can dance better than that.

Want me to put in Mickey Mouse Safari in Letterland?

Out of character question: Since this is obviously not the same Equestria as the one from the show, could you lay down some of the big details that separate the world of Ask Lyra from the world of FiM? I think it could be useful for any future askers.

I… What?

I’ve got a few questions like this before and I never know what to do with them. This isn’t some D&D tabletop campaign. This is my life. This is, more or less, how I really act in the world I really live in.

I’m roommates with Bon-Bon; we live in her home. Tootsie, her niece, stays with us Sunday night through Friday morning and lives with her parents on the weekends. Sweetie Belle moved in some time ago, with her parent’s permission of course. My boyfriend is a chemical glue-making bear named Krastos. I call him Boscov.

I spent a lot of my time growing up in the darker side of Canterlot. I had to do a lot of things I’m not proud of to survive. Things are better there than they used to be.

Celestia raises the sun to the east and sets it to the west. Birds fly, fish swim. I don’t know what else to tell you.

This isn’t fantasy. I live in the real world. Sometimes things might seem darker than they should be, but my experiences have left me a little jaded about life. I don’t necessarily take things at face value like everypony else does.

Meta powers says “It’s realistically gray,” whatever that’s supposed to mean.
