Great job!I hope your cloak wasn’t itchy, it looks heavy like wool and tied with rope.

That might have been all it was, if this was a regular play. But this was a Canterlot production and everypony was wearing high-quality costumes. That cloak had a silk interlining; was very comfortable.

Well, thanks for being a good sport about it anyway!

What's on your backlog?

Well, I gotta do that Skyrim piece. Plus the twelve or so requests I’ve been neglecting…

Probably won’t be able to do anything until Boscov and I get back from Manehatten, though. We leave… was it Tuesday?

So Hearth's Warming at your house is going to be two mares, one bear? *Pulls out a gun and considers shooting self for awful joke, but ultimately puts it away* Forgive me.

Sweetie will be back for Hearth’s Warming dinner, if that changes anything.

I don't mean for it to be a jab at social roles. Just Boscov seems rather wife-like at times and never acts macho, and in a lot of alternate dimensions where you're married to Bon-Bon, you have the husband-role.

In a mare/stal-… Boy/girl marriage, the guy is the husband and the girl is the wife. What they do or how they act doesn’t matter.

A quick snapshot Bon-Bon took of me during the pageant.

Happy Hearth’s Warming, Boscov!

Also, thanks for 600 followers!

Happy Holidays!

So are you and Bon-Bon inviting any guests over for Hearth's Warming?

I invited Boscov over.

Tootsie is going to be spending it with her parents.

By the way, the play starts soon. So I’ll talk to you ponies later.

Just a question. If you and Boscov did marry, would he be the wife? He just seems to be filled with wife-material.

Ah. Jabs about gender roles. Very edgy and current.

Thanks. No spoken lines so I shouldn’t end up coughing up anything on stage.

I’m sad that my favorite tumblr page is closing, though.

Edit: Don’t pester her, though. If you want to say something nice, like you’ll miss her that’s cool.

Is the reason you don't want to marry Boscov is you don't to be waking up next to a bear every morning?

I didn’t say I don’t want to marry him!

It’s just a little early, is all.

Hey pony, wanna smoke some of this dope? After all, Snoop Dog says, hey hey, smoke weed every day.

No.

Even if I wanted to, why would you ask me on a public website?

T-t-t-thank you L-lyra. I'm feeling better now. Thanks for caring about me... I'm thankful for you, you know?

Just take care of yourself, alright? Can’t help anypony of you can’t help yourself.

Do you ever have any sort of butt fun with Boscov?

No.

Why dontcha marry that bear if ye love him so much?

For the same reason I’ve never been married before.

…

Well, not the same reason. This is quite a bit different…

It’s not that I don’t trust him or anything.

…

It’s complicated, okay? I mean, I dated somepony for over a year once and we never talked about marriage.
