My Headcanon

Hi all, here is a partial list of my headcanon. These are the things I believe to be true or at least are not contradicted by the show.

•Equestria possesses airplane technology. Jet Set’s name had to come from somewhere, and it would make sense to have military planes, if not for their powered flight capabilities, than as armor for pegasi in warfare, powered by magic and possessing heavy cannons and missiles. Scratch42’s picture of Rainbow Dash in a plane is one of my favorites.

•Furclothing: a term I came up with for the fact that the show portrays the ponies not wearing clothes inconsistently. I believe that innate to everypony is the ability to use their coats as clothing. When needed, their coats cover them like clothing, and when needed, can be “turned off”. This is why fluttershy, for example, reacted with embarrassment when Rainbow Dash pulled her out of bed in the Cider episode. The coat has about as much formality as a T-shirt and jeans (a nice t-shirt and jeans), however, and as such, they dress up for formal occasions.

•Telekinesis fingers. This is how non-unicorns manipulate objects, applies to the hooves and mouth, with a barrier on the mouth to prevent them from breaking their teeth when lifting heavy things. They know of the concept of fingers (Equestria Girls notwithstanding, which I plan to ignore if possible) Pinkie’s foam finger and the fact they have base-10 math suggests something similar, if not fingers, than at least tactile-TK manipulation of some sort.

•The Cry of Fear campaign Scrolls of Shaimoon (1.2, not the one with all the annoying jumping puzzles and exploding floors) is an unofficial Darring Do adventure.

•Firearms, in roughly the same shape as ours, exist.

•The Old Ways: much of Equestrian technology, especially that of the Ponyville region, is focused on preserving The Old Ways while making life easier. Thus, things such as weight-offset carriages (the more expensive, the more weight is magically removed), and magical-scouring washboards are far more common in the region than automobiles and other such overtly hi-tech gadgets, which can be found more often in cities such as Manehattan and Canterlot. Thus, carriages are seen more often in Ponyville while gadgets such as the Flim-Flam brothers’ cider-making car are much less common.
•Aethertronic is my term for magical-electronics, such as Twilight’s EKG machine, the hospital’s x-ray machine and other such things.

•There are non-sentient cows/pigs/chickens ect. as well as sentient/semisentient ones.

•Vegetarianism is not universal. Only the Ponyville area has a dearth of served meat. This is due to the large number of sentient cows and such living in the area, the non-sentient versions of which are eaten. The ham sandwich served at Celestia’s party in the bird episode is my evidence.

•As for the manipulation of firearms or other such military devices, a rig similar to the ones used for cameras is used, allowing Earth Ponies and Pegasi to extend their tactile TK to the weapon.

Anyway, these are my fanon opinions, and will appear, at least in the background, in my stories, and in my understanding of the series. Feel free to disagree, respectfully, of course.

Thanks.
