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 called for?
Herewith, my results.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

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.

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.

My Writing

On this site, I'm almost entirely a reader. Mostly because I have a tendency to take on way too many projects at once, and if I start writing fan-fic as well, I'll get even less done than I do now.

But I do write original short and nano-fiction set in my own science-fiction universe, per my bio, so if you think that might be to your taste, you can check it out here at The Eldraeverse, or even here if you want to go straight to book or e-book.

Thanks for visiting, either way!

(P.S. Username origin is here, for the incorrigibly curious.)

Thank you for reading A Changeling-y Merry Hearth's Warming, and giving it the rare privilege of being in your "Even Favouriter" bookshelf! I had a quick look through it, and that's some seriously good stories you have in there - I'm honoured you'd count it among them.
