Bon-Bon: Did you see the cover of VAIN this month?
Lyra: Oh yeah! I remember when Rarity had her mane like this for a bit. Sometime around May I think? I really dug the punk rocker look. Though the faux-leather was kind of weird.
Bon-Bon: Yes, I think maybe Fluttershy or Applejack pulled her aside and explained the implications, especially with Ponyville’s cattle residents. I noticed she didn’t wear the vest very long.
Lyra: I liked the denim jacket better anyway. More rebel.
Bon-Bon: Then I remember she switched to that canvas dress and hat that she let foals draw on.
Tootsie: I drew a flower!
Lyra: That was pretty cool too. When did all of that start anyway?
Bon-Bon: I think it was around Mare’s Day.
Lyra: Oh yeah! How did your mother like the flowers?
Bon-Bon: She said they were nice and thanked me. Basic stock response.
Lyra: Oh… Sorry.
Bon-Bon: Hmm? About what?
Lyra: Uh… Nothing, I guess.
My Dashboard for the last few days:
1) It’s a complicated subject. How is power distributed? And not just ideologically, but logistically. Why should you trust… anything or anyone? What is equal versus what is fair?
Legal tender itself isn’t really the best means of rewarding an individual for contributing to society. It’s nice for trading a hair cut for a bushel of cucumbers. But a particularly greedy individual can a) horde money until they financially overwhelm society, or b) take their wealth/industry elsewhere if the government attempts to redistributed it. And that’s if all things were equal. When greed corrupts even the system that distributes the money, any attempt to redistribute it can be terminated “legally”.
But the liquidity of money and the modernized ability to so easily reinvest it is also what allows a society to rapidly advance technologically and culturally. Unfortunately, even that comes at the cost of financial viability. It’s not going to matter how advantageous something might be, say medically, if there’s no long term financial return for it.
2) I obviously can’t vouch for the validity of it, but I did remember seeing this post (with lots of swears) that says price gouging is illegal and should be reported. That doesn’t stop anyone from doing it at this moment. But more reports would lead to more arrests with a higher probability of news spreading, which should lead to fewer cases in the future.
my gf wanted an eevee evolution that was just “big eevee” so here they are
wow a real updog
Lyra: Da dadada danda This is the joke that never ends. ‘Cause you just fell for it again.
Bon-Bon: If we were married I’d want a divorce.
Lyra: Somepony just- stah ha ha ha ha ha! I mean really?! Really Bon-Bon! “Well gee there, Lyra. An updog you say? I don’t think I’m quite familiar. Hyuck!“ Hah hah hah!
Bon-Bon: You ever heard the story of the filly who cried wolf?
Lyra: You ever heard the story of the filly who cried UPDOG?! HA~! Hahahahaha!

Yes. Mostly. And maybe, but only at a distance.
Starlight Glimmer was Twilight’s friendship student or something. Then she saved Equestria and graduated? Which doesn’t make sense to me considering she was studying friendship… Also we saved Equestria better than she did.
Following Chrysalis latest defeat some new Changeling took over and most of them turned gradient pastel. And when I say pastel I mean super pastel. Like bottle of Tums pastel. Anyway, they’re friendly now and there’s some water cooler debate on whether their new leader is a king or a prince.
Princess Dragon Lord Ember won some kind of competition and was crowned ruler of all dragons. Which, in dragon culture, doesn’t mean she has governmental authority over all dragons so much as she has physical authority over them. Which is pretty terrifying. Also she’s pretty terrifying. Muffin’s cried the last time somepony brought her up.
Yes, you appear to be living in a molten Hell-scape that’s also being pounded by hurricanes. Which may be an apt metaphor for the political atmosphere.
Speaking of, how’s the left been?
1) “What could be more posh than having a cat give you your toilet paper for each wipe?”
Thanks! These were great!
2) I’m a terrible friend and I swear I meant to message you, but I already knew! My Canterlot friend told me about a week ago.
But yes it sounds exciting!
Lyra: So… I take it the exterminator visit went well.
Bon-Bon: They said they’d already been informed by Applejack and were prepared, but I didn’t see 40 ponies on duty. They’ll be the first to fall.
Lyra: Wow! That’s… dark. Coming from you.
Tootsie: Do we really have to sit here with all the lights off?
Bon-Bon: Sorry Liza, flyders are attracted to light. It leads them to prey.
Lyra: Everypony else has their lights on.
Bon-Bon: Get away from the window!
Lyra: Geez!
Bon-Bon: If they see us it’ll already be too late!
Tootsie: Aunt Bon-Bon, you’re kinda acting more like I’d expect Lyra to be acting.
Lyra: Hmm… I’d take offense to that but I can see where you’re coming from.
Bon-Bon: You two have never even seen flyders before!
Lyra: Wait a minute, are you… afraid?
Bon-Bon: Are you… insane?
Lyra: I mean, I’ve seen you upset, confused, angry, worried, but afraid? I didn’t think you were afraid of anything.
[Pause]
Bon-Bon: Is this going somewhere-?!
Lyra: Do you have a phobia?
Bon-Bon: H-… How can you have a phobia about something that will actively try to kill you?!
Tootsie: The CMC said they went camping over the weekend.
Bon-Bon: Well that’s nice and wholesome.
Tootsie: Yeah, except they said they were attacked by a swarm of Flyders?
Bon-Bon: [Coughing][Sputtering] FLYDERS?!
Tootsie: Ye-
Bon-Bon: Where were they?!
Tootsie: I-Iuh… W-Winsome Falls?
Bon-Bon: That’s not far from here… Close all the windows! Call Lyra and tell her to get back here ASAP! I’ve got to contact the town exterminator! They have to prepare for this!
Tootsie: Bon-Bon! Wait! What’s a-…! What’s a Flyder?
[video]
Bon-Bon: What?
Lyra: What?
Bon-Bon: You can’t be serious.
Lyra: Hey, I’m not saying I don’t like Vanilla Strawberry Cream. I’m just saying it’s not always the best.
Bon-Bon: That doesn’t make any sense. You love Vanilla Strawberry. It’s your favorite ice cream, it’s your favorite cake. It’s your favorite ice cream cake. It’s your favorite cookie, it’s your favorite candy. If I knew how to bake it into a bagel, it’d be your favorite bagel. And you don’t even like bagels!
Lyra: Shows how much you know. I love strawberry bagels!
Bon-Bon: This is exactly what I’m talking about!
Lyra: I’m talking about Vanilla Strawberry Cream! They put it on everything!
Bon-Bon: Of course they do! We make what sells! And your conveniently deniable obsession with Vanilla Strawberry drives the entire market!
It can’t possibly be overused!
Lyra: [Scoff] Well I think Vanilla Strawberry Cream is overused!
Bon-Bon: Hmph!
Spike: Yes! Fighting! [Pause] Uh… I mean, what seems to be the problem?

Bon-Bon: I can’t stay here, I have work in the morning!
Lyra: This is ridiculous. We’ve been out here for like fifteen minutes. They can’t just hide in there! We have valid questions that need answering!
Berryshine: Yeah! It’s like they think they can just sing a song and it’ll solve everypony’s problems!
Lyra: Oh that is so Twilight too. Just sing a song and walk away.
Rose: There she is! They’re coming out!
[Ravenous uproar]
Twilight: Everypony please! If I can have your attention!
Reporter Pony?: Princess Twilight-!
Twilight: I am so sorry, but we will not be taking questions at this time-
Reporter Pony?: My pencil…
Twilight: Everypony, we would like to let you all know just how thrilled we are that The Friendship Journal was such a hit among so many ponies! So much so that you’ve taken a break from your everyday lives to gather here. It is for this reason, and many others, that I invite you all to return to your homes and reread the work! But this time, do so at a slower pace. Reflect upon the many lessons found within, but only one-at-a-time. Maybe only read one lesson a day!
Rainbow Dash: But mostly just go home!
Reporter Pony?: And what if we don’t?!
[Cries of approval]
Twilight: That is a very good question! And if I could just direct your attention to the center of Ponyville-! [Zap] Which is where you now are. For those of you remaining, I can’t promise you you’ll all end up in the same place if you stay, but I can assure you it won’t be here.
[Pause, Grumbles of Dispersal]
Twilight: Thank you! Thank you for reading! And if any of you find your way to Sweet Apple Acres on your way back, be sure to let everypony there know they are trespassing on royal land, gifted to the Apple family, who have the sole authority to prosecute!
