    Arms and Armament

    So, I was catching up on some blog posts this morning, and happened upon one which discussed the way objects can reflect characters, and happened to use their choices of weapons as an example. Which set me off down the track of contemplating what, in Equestria's earlier and rather rougher pieces of history, might our favorite protagonists arm themselves with should such warlike preparations be

    Color Coordination

    Given the full-spectrum range of coat and mane colors among Equestrian ponies, can you imagine the trouble planners of any sort of public event that needs a seating chart must have? Not only do they have to take into account all the same considerations that we do, but Earthly event planners don't have to worry about accidentally creating eye-wateringly bad color combinations by accident.

    Military Controversy

    Is the basic earth pony military unit infantry, or cavalry?

    Please overthink as much as possible, then justify your answers.

    A Few Words

    I've been conlanging some more, and since some of the words this time are of Advancedverse relevance, thought I'd drop a pointer here.

Going To Hull And Back · 4:43am Jun 2nd, 2016

If and when the Equestrian Space Program plot arc gets going and runs long enough, I should totally ask the artist if I can use this for an illustration, because I don't find it hard at all to imagine this particular school of hull decor meeting, shall we say, proper standards of fabulosity:

Nice paint jobs! Reminds me of this beauty I used to fly in Orbiter:

I'm now imagining Rarity as a starship designer...

Ooh, very nice!

"Well, somepony's got to stop the engineers from making more gray boxes painted white..."

Be grateful, Rarity, that your friends can spare the mass budget for aesthetics. Delta-v used to be so costly they could barely afford it with the most stripped-down utilitarian tin can they could build. That gravity well is a heartless creditor, and always collects his debts.

Wow, Celestia's colors look nice on that capital ship! Luna's, too.

Not sure about Cadance's, though. That Decimator's paint job kinda clashes with the shape. One says "I'm a friendly pony princess!" and the other says "come any closer and I will stab you with my maneuvering fins." Maybe it's what she flies when she's having a bad day?
