    As always:  SPOILERS BELOW IN THE COMMENTS!

    I have to write a research paper, but I got bored and this story was born.  Back to work...

    This story is my mind+caffeine+background music+lack of sleep+my craziness+ me trying to be funny

    and if you add all that up you get this story.  Yay.  

    at the end of the story your face should look like this:

    :rainbowhuh: wtf did I just read?

    I just realized that your post said

    "at the end of the story your face should look like this:

    :rainbowhuh: wtf did I just read?"

    So I guess it WAS a big success.

    My face was a real 'wtf did I just read' but I admit, I loved it. It was silly, it was dramatic and it showed the true horrors of a pillow fight. Well done!:twilightsmile:

    But if they do make an episode like this, I'll be throwing my money at the screen.  All out pony war is exactly what the show needs.

    So wait... were ponies dying for real? Or was it just Rarity-eque drama?

    I mean... sure, you could go for true death, but... it's almost better if it stays true to it's heritage and everyone gets up later.

    'My entire squad was either captured or killed. The enemy nearly got me, but then it happened. The mother of all bombs was dropped. I was the only one lucky enough to be behind a wall when it happened. I'll never forget that day, the day that everyone fell until I was the only one left. The final day of the Great Pillow War.' I just had to say that.

    This brings back memories of when I was a kid, a simple game that turns into a playground wide war.

    First is the obvious soaking the pillow in water for extra mass to hit harder.  Building on that is the use of substances other then water, various poisons or caustic chemicals, possibly using flammable chamicals along with treating the pillowcase in a mixture similar to touchpowder so that the impact can produce a spark to ignite the chemicals.  Soak the pillow in a resin or similar glue and allow it to harden for a pillor brick, make the pillow stuffing out of fiberglass insulation so that impacts cause bursts of small glass particulate to damage lungs.  Stick a large number of metal or glass slivers throughout the pillow so that the impacts cause them to puncture the skin, again this can be combined with the soaking in chemicals to allow for the injection of any manner of substance into the bloodstream...:pinkiecrazy:

    You wouldn't happen to have also been inspired by the fact that yesterday (I believe) was international pillow fight day, would you? Because that is what this made me think of.

    We need a sequel, we need a version that has Celestia and Luna facing off against Discord in the most truly epic of all epic pillow fights, one that will decide the fate of all ponydom!

    I think easier ways to weaponize a pillow would be to fill it with live bees, or spiders, or scorpions, or something like that.

    Or shoving a land mine in it would do the trick.
