I suppose that’s a reasonable request. It’s been a while and I probably won’t be done with Boscov’s present for quite a while yet.
I have something I’ve been holding on to for a rainy day. I guess I could post that. It’s a little outdated, though.

Thank you, I think.
Forgot to censor it. Thanks for reminding me, Anon!

Anonymous asked: Are you ever worried one day Boscov might be overcome with primal urges and lust and rapes you?
Oh yeah. Scares the poop outta me all the time. I have to drive him off of me with a stick most of the time.
Boscov is a gentlebear. Nearly to a fault. He won’t try anything without my permission. Certainly not something I’m used to.
Anonymous asked: 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.
However wrong his actions, Discord has no way of atoning for them while caged in rock. And he’s still conscious in there. Can you imagine how horrifying that existence must be?
Princess Celestia has to make some difficult decisions, both in the past and present. You think a utopian society is just built and maintained on sunshine and rainbows?
As for me? Well, if my past actions indicate anything, it’s not my heroism. If anything it’s closer to the opposite direction.
Anonymous asked: Would you say you have a sense of personal loyalty to Celestia?
Yeah, I wouldn’t be here if not for her.
Whether or not I deserve to be here not withstanding.
Your mind wonders off…
You live in a small, ranch-style house that doesn’t even have an attic. The notion of owning this whole place? Unreal… You could become a Duchess or a Countess by virtue of ownership! The Duchess of this frozen… wasteland…
Hmm…
Oh! What if you turned it into a race track?! Then you could-
Your stomach growls and you feel a sharp pain. Your hoof clutches your tummy-tum and you explain how tired and hungry you are. The group agrees to eat, rest, and sleep for now. Everypony will rotate a guard-shift every two-and-a-half hours. Your shift is last, so you eat up, crawl under your blanket, and fall asleep to the sound of the others still talking.
Of course, you’ll still have to decide about what to do with the baggage situation in the morning. For now, you dream about racing for some reason.
Anonymous asked: Have you ever played Star Control II?
Can’t say I have.
Never heard of it either.
Anonymous asked: It's good to know that you aren't the type who holds out for a hero. I like that you actually get things done when they need to get done.
Live through what I’ve lived through and you realize there are no heroes.
If someone does something helpful, it’s for a reason. They have something to gain from it.
Edit: Not exactly an enjoyable way to live, but not a position I can just change either.
Anonymous asked: I take it that you never asked for this.
One rarely does.
Anonymous asked: If you were abducted by aliens for one night, how would you react?
Do I know in advance that it’s only for one night?
What are they doing with me? If it’s amicable, I wouldn’t mind.
