1) I’ve probably seen all but a few minutes of it, but never all at once. And while I’m aware of the movie’s setting, I’d hardly call it a good movie for the holidays.
2) Oh sure. Definitely speed boats. Automobiles? Nah. Magic? Don’t even have that. But speed boats are definitively human.
3) Lyra: You see? You see?! This is what I’m talking about!
Bon-Bon: Oh for Celestia’s sake, get over it.
Lyra: You don’t have this problem! Everypony thinks we’re together so they all know you’re gay!
Bon-Bon: Excuse me? I’m constantly mistaken for being straight!
Lyra: My flank.
Bon-Bon: And what’s that supposed to mean? Stallions constantly hit on me!
Lyra: Ha!
Bon-Bon: Oh! Oh I am so done!
Lyra: Bon-Bon! You can’t- I’m not hit on all the time, so-!
Bon-Bon: So how what, Lyra?
Lyra: I-… That… I’m not saying that!
Bon-Bon: You don’t have to!
Lyra: Bon-Bon! I’m sorry!
Bon-Bon: The nerve!
1) Nothing against it, just not my scene. The shades between rock and metal don’t really do it for me. There are some exceptions. Usually on the side of hard rock.
2) Really? There’s some untold number of Lyras, Bon-Bons, Minuettes, Carrot Tops, et cetera. But you were worried I might get two Dans mixed up? You were probably right. I’m just messing with you.
3) Disappointing. Sort of ruins it.
4) So I noticed. I wouldn’t be so quick to call them a friend, though. They might be nuts.
5) I’m going to explain this very clearly. Stop. You do not want to proceed down this path.
1) Why is that a thing, anyway? Why is that a specific “feel”?
2) B: No. You don’t need to be living out in the middle of nowhere.
3) Oh hey, that’s something I totally want to hear about, being a mare and all. Next you’re gonna tell me teal-maned unicorns were their favorite.
4) Kinda already have one involved.
5) Can’t make any plans yet. Don’t know if I’m working that day or not.
Train station doesn’t close on Hearth’s Warming.
asklyra asked: Oh my Celestia! You should draw your human OC with my human OC doing-... I don't know, human stuff! Like... Oh! Like driving a speed boat!
i dont even know what ur human OC loOKS LIKE, YOU NER—…omfg do u mean that re-color of that one actor. i s2g lyra.
no lol, human OC time is over. the joke’s already old, im so sorry.
1) If there’s one thing that’s consistent in all dimensions of all civilizations, it’s a once-a-year sale that makes ponies behave like lunatics.
… No offense, Princess Luna.
2) I do like the sound of Tim Curry’s voice…
3) Lyra: You know, I’ve never really paid attention to the lyrics of the song. They’re not describing a pirate, they’re talking about a sailor.
Bon-Bon: It is a little silly. Pirates are a dangerous sort. Oh, but I’ve just been so busy! Hopefully I’ll get to continuing that story soon!
4) That’s fine. That’s fine that you gave no advanced notice. That you sent this message four hours after everypony had already started gathering.
I’m not mad.
5) Because that’s something perfectly acceptable to say to somepony. “Boy howdy questioning your sexuality sure is a thing you should do!”
I’m fine, thank you.
1) Oh that’s right, dubstep exists. I had forgotten. On an unrelated note I’m now depressed.
Bon-Bon and I are still working through some issues. We got through last night alright at least.
2) Oh my Cels… Oh my God… Where the [omitted] have you been? Why did you suddenly come back?
3) I'ma be straight with ya. You need to talk less about murders during social gatherings. It’s not really appropriate.
4) You’re going to see if you can find B before you try staying at a shelter…
I’ve tried talking to B about it. He says he only knows were you lived back before you started working for the government. And that if you never moved he’s not taking you back there anyway. He also thinks this is an act. I tried to tell you, he doesn’t like you.
5) Bon-Bon: Yes. Thank you, Mike. I managed to piece that together on my own.
Lyra: I said I’m sorry! I was mad!
Bon-Bon: You know, Lyra, some of the most hurtful things anypony has ever said to me have come from you.
Lyra: That? You think that was hurtful?
Bon-Bon: And don’t compare it to how things were for you when you were growing up either.
Lyra: Yeah… Still working through some issues…
Twilight: Oh! Lyra! I wasn’t expecting to see you here!
Lyra: Yeah… I just wanted to come by to thank you again for your help. You know, personally.
Twilight: I was happy to help, of course. But to be honest I’m still a little uneasy about lying. I don’t feel that was the best decision.
Lyra: Bon-Bon’s been talking for years about expanding and hiring some help, but she’d never go through with it. She always thinks she’s looking so far ahead, but really she’s just afraid of the risks. Risks I can take for her. She wants to do it, but she’d never agree to me helping her unless she thought she could pay me back.
Twilight: And you’re sure this was the only way to make that happen?
Lyra: You’ve got your elements of harmony to guide you. But growing up I had a different set of rules to go by. A little lie here can lead to a greater truth down the road.
Twilight: But this isn’t some little white lie. She’s going to eventually find out that there is no government grant. Approximately a year from now, in fact.
Lyra: Hopefully by then it won’t matter…
asklyra asked: Can you jitterbug?
is that a dance move?
i only know of the jitterbug song tbh.
you PUT THE BOOM-BOOM INTO MY HEAAARRRTT..!!
The jitterbug is a very very very old dance move that I’m pretty sure went along with a song called the Jitterbug that came out before Wham’s song.
In fact I’m pretty sure the dance and song came out in the 50swell i wasnt even born in the 50’s [redacted].
asklyra why would you think i could jitterbug??
It’s not a dance move, it’s a style of swing dance. You don’t do the jitterbug the same way you don’t do the dance. You jitterbug; you dance.
At it’s core, it’s really just a step rhythm.
Twilight: According to this you work some… sixty hours a week!
Bon-Bon: No, I’m in the shop sixty hours a week. I work much more than that once I’m home. Especially during the busier half of the year.
Lyra: It’s not like you’re really working that entire time.
Bon-Bon: Oh, you mean like you’re not really working when you’re sitting in your little stall doing nothing most of the time? And for half the hours?
Lyra: I am-!
2) Lyra: I don’t have my sexuality in question! You might have my sexuality in question, but I have no questions!
Bon-Bon: [Audiable exhale]
3) I’ve seen fanatical artwork where Bon-Bon was shoving a bunch of red-ringed X-Box 360s down my throat. What you said doesn’t even register on Lyra’s creepy meter anymore.
4) Ah, yes. The punk-rock anthem. All rise!
5) Bon-Bon: Really? Disappointed, sure. But shocked? I’m not trying to call into question your detective-ing ability or anything…
Lyra: I maintain that this whole thing is a load of crap. “Oh no! Denial!” Whatever…
Lyra: I don’t believe this…
Bon-Bon: Thank you so much for seeing us, your highness!
Princess Twilight Sparkle: It’s my pleasure! I’m delighted by this opportunity!
Lyra: I don’t belieeeeeeeeve this…
1) Bon-Bon: I’m sorry, Black Strawberry, but this isn’t really a good time. Lyra and I are going through a bit of a… Okay, things are terrible between us at the moment. I don’t feel we need anything, or anypony else complicating matters further. There is a shelter in Ponyville. If you haven’t been staying there or have nopony else to call on, I would recommend it over the streets.
Bon-Bon: … I’m sorry. This must seem terribly rude and inconsiderate. I’d just really rather not add another element to this… mess… Things have gotten out of hoof as is.
2) Lyra: My third coltfriend was the soccer player. My second was the… He saved my life once… you know…?
Bon-Bon: I know, Lyra.
3) It’s not like it all happens on the same day.
4) Lyra: I’m a little preoccupied at the moment. Even without the work schedule added in.
Bon-Bon: … Because you work so much more than I do…
Lyra: You know what, Bon-Bon?! I-!
5) I don’t know how to play a guitar. I can only play the sitar a little. And only while it’s laying down; I can’t actually play it while I’m holding it, which makes live performances a little difficult. Nevermind that the song is eighteen minutes long (Edit: Content advisory) and I don’t think I could kept it going the entire time.
[video]
?: I’m glad you could both make it. As this concerns both of you I feel it is a necessity.
Bon-Bon: Of course!
Lyra: Sure thing, Doc. Nopony else I’d rather be trapped in a room with against my will than you.
?: Thank you. Once again, I am Doctor Reification. We are here today to continue the discussion our friend Lyra and her style of alcohol consumption-

Bon-Bon: Welcome home, Lyra. Enjoy your shift?
Lyra: Ugh… Don’t you have work in the morning?
Bon-Bon: I’ll manage. I hope you didn’t think this was over.
