I could try to write something profound about concepts like identity and facades. Macro changes to oneself and micro adjustments based on environment. Grudges, growing up, what true maturity looks and acts like. But I don’t think you need or want to hear any of that.
I think you want to hear that you’re welcome, which you are. And I think you need to hear that you matter, because you do.
I wish you well.
Lyra: Prehypertension… This is garbage.
Bon-Bon: And the serving size on this box is just one. Will you stop eating Hot Pockets now?
Lyra: Yeah alright fine! This is ridiculous! How can I possibly be having too much salt!? I’m a pony! I didn’t even know we could get Hypertension!
Bon-Bon: And more water! I’ve been telling you for years you don’t drink enough fluids at all, let alone water!
Lyra: Aaaugh! I hate dietary change! I don’t deserve this!

Lyra: Haha! Yeah! But did you see the Ranger Tabes episode? That was awesome!
Blossomforth: Yeah it was! I had to pause it when she caught that dart and was just all… like it was nothing!
Lyra: Haha! Yeah! Right Raindrops?
Raindrops: Uh… I actually haven’t seen that one yet. I got up to the newest Chloe episode. At least I think it’s the newest one…
Lyra: I love Chloe! She’s my favorite character! I feel like she should be the main character.
Blossomforth: I actually like the three bears “fish-out-of-water” setup and the mix of wacky and normal characters they interact with. It’s refreshing and well balanced.
Lyra: Really? I feel Chloe would have the same “fish-out-of-water” experience considering her background. And her parents are great. And I just really want to know more about her and what she’s doing. I bet it’d make a great high school drama, only you know, set in college and staring a junior high student.
Blossomforth: Maybe, but it would never have the same balance of surreal and mundane, or the constant out-of-placeness that the bears have. It’s what makes the show special.
Lyra: I just find myself infinitely more interested in the Chloe episodes.
Blossomforth: Ah, but Chloe never met Ranger Tabes.
Lyra: Oooo… Good point.
Raindrops: My favorites are the bears’ past episodes.
Blossomforth: Oh my gosh! I love those! They’re all so sweet!
Lyra: I know, right?
Raindrops: Heehee.
Bon-Bon: Sorry you had to miss the show.
Lyra: Hey, no problem. Somepony had to, uh, deal with that stranded cargo. And one of us just had to be there. And I know that Liza wanted to watch the show, so it only made sense. I’m just glad that thing was so agreeable. Seemed like they were willing to forget the entire incident.
Bon-Bon: I’m sure quite a few ponies will be happy to hear that. Things cleaned up pretty nicely on my end as well.
Lyra: Nice picture by the way!
Bon-Bon: Thanks! It’s a gift!
Lyra: Great! We’re doing great! Everything is great! Yep, everything is- Nothing is broken.
Bon-Bon: Are you seriously doing that right now?
Lyra: What? I’ve had this question for like a week. Which is about how long we’ve been sitting here.
Bon-Bon: Oh my gosh…
Lyra: So yeah! We’re doing great! Great to hear from you! Thanks for aski-
[Thunderous Boom]
[Eldritch screech from a distance]
Bon-Bon: Let’s move!
Lyra: I’m on it!

Wow! I never thought I’d say this, but that was an incredible trick! Great job, Trixie!
Not sure what Starlight Glimmer was doing up there though.
You know, just a kite-flying kinda day!
Lyra: Holy [omitted], Bon-Bon. I mean… Holy [omitted], Bon-Bon!
Bon-Bon: I didn’t think they’d be paying both of us separately…
Lyra: I mean, we’re still in debt-
Bon-Bon: Obviously.
Lyra: But a few more of these and we won’t be!
Bon-Bon: Lyra, money does not just appear out of thin air. Ponies can’t know about this. It has to be… normal. Gradual.
Lyra: Which means we need some kind of cover for how we got this. O-or are getting these! This is fantastic! When’s our next assignment?!
Bon-Bon: You’ll know when I know.
1) Oh certainly. I just wasn’t expecting it.
2) Me too! Being able to reply more than once is great! Not worth the wait, of course, but nothing could have been.
Also that can’t happen.
3) I don’t really miss it much. Only when a new episode of something rolls around. Not really worth the cost.
You follow one Espio tumblr and suddenly
Yo dawg! Heard you like Sonic!
With what @timmytamdraws sent me earlier today, I’m now tickled by the idea of Joy being normally very polite, but when she’s upset she just blurts out a stream of cusses. Only the cusses are not cusses and also kind of polite sounding.
