    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.

Unicorn Hats · 2:17pm Nov 17th, 2016

From the random-thoughts-while-finalizing-small-details departments:

In the next chapter, we see Cordelia's dress uniform, which includes the traditional tricorn hat. Which got me thinking: there are hats with three points on the brim turned up and pinned, which are tricornes, and hats with two points on the brim turned up and pinned, which are bicornes.

So where, I ask you, are the unicorn hats? I know I've seen the one-point-turned-up style around, but I've never heard them called that...

One point turned up? You speak of the cavalier hat?

On the unicorn's head, silly.

And honestly, they were undoubtedly not called that for the obvious reason - the word already had a meaning. Personally, I've always called that the musketeer hat because of the association with the famous trio. I even have one of those.

Rarity has lots of unicorn hats, silly! :pinkiehappy:
