    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.

Smaller doses don't lead to quite so much bizarre ideation, but they do lead to dreams in which my brain crossovers freely, including in this case a quick visit to Game of Pones Thrones.

Because with Canterlot Castle being as cantilevered off the side of the mountain as it is, of course Princess Luna has a Moon Door in her throne room.

Cropped image of the The Moon Door card. Part of A Game of Thrones collectible card game. Copyrighted work by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG).

One presumes one of the reasons why more ponies don't take their legal appeals to the Night Court is that while, yes, the Royal Service has provided Luna with a legal attaché brave enough to explain to an angry Night Princess that a given punishment has been abolished some time in the last thousand years, and yes, that one has too, with the Moon Door being right there, it's entirely possible that the guilty party would be bouncing off foothills before he finished explaining that defenestration is now declassé.

(It wouldn't work for pegasi, of course, but then, I imagine it arrived in ancient Equestrian law due to Commander Hurricane's taste for "Madness? This! Is! Cloudsdale!" verdicts when dealing with offenders and, heh, offenders of the other two tribes, back in the day.)

((And, yes, I know it's not technically defenestration.))

The Moon Door may be Luna's preferred way into and out of the court, though that could send unfortunate messages about her position in relation to justice.

Also, it's hard to say what exaggerates Commander Hurricane more, the Hearth's Warming pageant or Flank Miller.
