I don't know if you agree with me, but Lyra and Bonbon remind me of Ernie and Bert from Sesame Street. Remember those guys? If any of you don't know what Sesame Street is, let me explain everything. Sesame Street is a children's television series that started in the early 1970s that is shown mainly in live action with some animated segments in between. It is mostly educational, but it does have elements of clever lighthearted humor and references to popular culture. The show feature puppets (created by Jim Henson who also created the Muppets in the mid 1970s) such as Bigbird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, etc. with likeable personalities who hangs out and have fun learning with kids and adults. And it is still going on to this very day making it the longest running children's show ever shown on television. I was really born in 1987 and I remember when I used to grew up watching it back in the 1990s and 2000s and I still watch it whenever I feel nostalgic. Sorry if I'm getting a bit carried away here? Anyway about Lyra and Bonbon, they remind me Ernie and Bert in a way. I remember when some people used to make up rumors of the them being gay just because they are mostly seen together, who live in the same residence and share the same bedroom. Turns out the rumors were never true. According to one of the writers, Ernie and Bert's relationship is based on the real life friendship between Jim Henson and Frank Oz, and that Ernie and Bert have their own separate beds. Actually come to think of it, Lyra and Bonbon could be influenced by Ernie and Bert. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the cast of MLP like Jim Miller or MA Larson is a fan of Sesame Street. Hey, you'll never know! I can see Lyra being quirky and carefree like Ernie and Bonbon being grumpy and serious like Bert. Lyra and Bonbon are like the female pony equivalent of Ernie and Bert. Except that Ernie and Bert are puppets who resemble human boys and Lyra and Bonbon are just pony girls. But they both have one thing in common, that people already state at first glance they are together they assume they are gay. Maybe Lyra and Bonbon aren't really gay of what the fandom imagine they are. They care for each other very much like Ernie does to Bert and probably Bert does the same back to Ernie. But unlike them, Lyra and Bonbon take their care to a mawkish degree like in the ending of that Equestria Girls short "All's Fair In Love And Friendship Games" They can't get any more sappy than that. That's how females naturally are when they share and understand their personal emotions. They are much more sentimental to each other than males are.
