Numeric Essence seemed like she was going to be an important character, but she never really did anything and then disappeared from the series. It seems odd.
Why didn't Bon Bon like the bit? And why did she stop liking Lyra, again? And why is Bon Bon hiding the depth of her love from Mayor Mare? Would loving one pony really clash with her secret identity that much? Can't she be mean to everyone else and be madly in love with Mayor Mare?
Why does Pinkie hate Marble Pie so much? Her hatred seems very unlike her.
6636710 Lyra turned out to be an immature, somewhat racist unicorn who took Bon Bon for granted. She's better, but mostly because Princess Luna insisted she grow up and learn better. And Bon Bon IS affectionate with Mayor Mare, they're just both keeping up something of a public facade but trust me, Bon Bon is very sweet with Mayor Mare in private. Mayor Mare did run to hide under HER bed, after all!
Pinkie's been having a rough time, and this is partly her story. "Fun didn't used to be so hard". But the reason she's super touchy around Marble is, Marble DOES have far stronger Sense than Pinkie. To Marble, it isn't even Pinkie Sense, it's inferior Marble Sense, and Pinkie did manage to get away from that by moving to Ponyville where she could be herself. Now, here comes Marble again, already claiming Pinkie's not gifted enough to know what's really going on. Expect Pinkie to kick it up a notch, like "I'll show YOU!"
6637114 But why does Bon Bon seem to hate the bits. When she was with Lyra she seemed to prefer a strap-on to one, and I can't fathom why someone would ever go with that over the real thing.
And I still have to wonder what the point of introducing Numeric Essence was.
6637142 Lyra was shown as continually demanding that Bon Bon, a lesbian with a great delight and pride in her cunnilingus, use the magic bit for its magicness (as if she didn't count as a person, only a magic wielder). Bon Bon had once tried to expand their repertoire by use of a strap-on, and that was when Lyra called it a 'shitty crude physical earth pony thing', so it wasn't that Bon Bon was THAT into strap-ons: it was that her first attempt got cruelly rejected, and then the magic one got treated as more important than SHE was, and none of it had much to do with Bon Bon as a person.
They were bound to fail, and Lyra had a rough time before she ended up with Luna, and even now she's still not all that mature or well adjusted. She made a big breakthrough when she realized she'd put forth heroic effort to rescue Applejack even though Applejack was just an earth pony, and she made another step when Luna foaled with her and it meant that one of her foals was also an earth pony and Luna liked it that way.
Bon Bon doesn't hate the bits, and doesn't hate Lyra too much, but would never allow Lyra to come back, regardless of what sex toys she had.
Numeric Essence is capable of thinking through things other ponies don't understand. She figured out Twilight was Self-Will before anypony did, and she was right about alicorns forming poles that combine to give extra power. She can solve problems and do the right thing, which sometimes doesn't mean embracing alicornhood and immortality. Essence sees a different purpose for her life, and is pursuing it.
“Uh-huh. What the fuck are you?”
"Feh! She acts like she’s the special agent of Princess Celestia herself!" Great cover, Super Sekrit Agent.
...and Marble Pie doesn't even acknowledge the Fourth Wall as a concept.
Right. Pinkie is still in "nobody loves me smash the Equestrian Patriarchy fuck all y'all" raging bitch mode.
Aww, poor changeling.
Commence read.
Good ol' Spy being Spy.
Now to see how things collapse.

6637574 I'm impressed with how well thought out that is.

That's Applejinx for ya
I have no knowledge of the rest of the series, but I liked the idea of a kirin.
But... you lost me with the ridiculousy overblown Marble section.

Marble is even more fourth wall breaky than Pinkie. Her genre savviness exceeds any character I've written before or since
