Ask Lyra

Dec 23

hornuraakemi asked: Hey Lyra! How's that cold doing?

Hello!

Mostly gone. Still feel a little nastiness in my throat but that’s all.

theblackstrawberry asked: I'm a-a-alright... You know making a s-s-spell is hard? Y-y-you go through m-many var-r-riables before it's s-s-stable... I m-m-m-made 2 spells recently...

I’m hoping one of them was a stuttering spell and not a deathly sick spell.

Anonymous asked: Whatever you get, it ought the fit the requirements for any good present in that it is (a) expensive, (b) bought, and (c) not lovingly hand-crafted.

One outta three might be the best I can do. I’m not much for crafts, and I can’t afford expensive.

Anonymous asked: Have a batmitsvah. You'll get mad stacks.

Uh… Wat.

lady-bon-bon asked: Begrudgingly popular with the mysterious gentlecolt callers, I see. Why is it that I can't quite shake this feeling that struggling with my gift idea is something that will become common between nearly all of yourselves?

I hope you don’t begrudge me too much.

It might not be as bad for me. I’m not in a romantic relationship with my Bon-Bon. Some of the other Lyras might be freaking out, though.

Anonymous asked: Trying looking on uncommongoods to see if there's anything Bon-Bon would like on there.

I want to get her something useful and practical, not just random junk.

Though that Shower Squid might be nice.

Would the Tea Tower send the wrong message that I think she’s taking up too much counter-top space?

Anonymous asked: I know what you could get Bon-Bon. You could get Bon-Bon a babushka doll!

A nicknack? I’m sure she wouldn’t hate that, but I don’t know that she’d like it.

Anonymous asked: What are some of Bon-Bon's hobbies? Maybe get something related to one of those?

Well how am I supposed to know what she likes?!

It’s like not like we live together or anything!

I’m a horrible roommate…

Anonymous asked: What's the funniest joke you've ever heard?

Probably something vulgar I couldn’t repeat on my page.

Anonymous asked: Maybe something relating to mane and tail care? I'm sure keeping her mane and tail colors separated isn't exactly the easiest thing for her to do.

She’s never mentioned having much trouble with it.

Hmm… If I got her bowling lessons, she’d probably take that as an insult

How in Equestria did I overlook getting her a present?

Anonymous asked: Get Bon-Bon 400 pillows.

Somepony’s been around for a while. I’d forgotten that joke!

Anonymous asked: Bon-Bon's nickname is Bon-Bon Bondage, right? Just get her some new bondage gear. Or some new baking/cooking tools. Either would probably work.

You don’t get a housewife a new vacuum for Hearth’s Warming.

It needs to be something she’d use that isn’t related to work…

Completely ignoring that bit about gear, if you couldn’t tell.

askconertheglaceon-blog asked: What Did you get Bon-bon This Year?

Bon-Bon…

Oh [omitted]…

Anonymous asked: Can you buy me the game Claus N Effect for Christmas?

If I could afford to buy somepony something for Hearth’s Warming, I’d have bought Boscov something.

Anonymous asked: Does Boscov ever inappropriately grope you or do other things to make you feel bad?

I- What- I don’t- Ugh…

Look, think of a gentlecolt. A gentlecolt at a fancy restaurant. That’s Boscov twenty-four/seven. He’s the nicest, kindest, most considerate… anything you’ll ever meet!
