  1. I can imagine a specialized kind of art where the pony utilizes his/her mouth and tail to wield a short sword or a largish knife. I got the idea from Applejack using her tail for lassos and stuff. It could be a a very agility based art where coordination is key if you don't want to cut yourself. I could involve tossing the blade in the air to switch between mouth and tail. Probably, if they're fast enough, they could work in some strikes between switching. This kind of combat would be used by Earth ponies and Pegasi. I think that when the blade is in the mouth it would be more for closer combat like lunging, stabs, and short slashes and swings. It could be used for blocks as well. When its on the tail, it would involve large slashes and using it kind of like a whip. If you want to get fancy, the pony can do flips and other acrobatics to use the momentum to slash at their opponents.

    As for pegasi, I like the idea of wing blades. Fast areal combat where the pegasi dive or fly past their opponent with their wings extended. The problem is that ramming your wing at high speeds into something wouldn't be a very good idea, regardless of what's on it.

    Now before everyone gets up in arms (see what I did there?), I know that people don't usually like to mix violence/weaponry with their ponies. However, I think that this will be an interesting topic to discuss, personally.

    Obviously Equestria is quite peaceful, given the occasional vengeful/escaped deity or invasion. Also fighting, self defense, and weaponry has been seen the show. Though it seems that most if it is defensive. Rainbow Dash did have a black belt in karate. Pipsqueak had a toy sword, obviously based on the real thing. Also the fact that the Princesses have royal guards indicates that they have some method of defense. Magic is also seen as a defense and a weapon. So I wonder how hoof to hoof combat would work. How would a pony wield a sword or any weapon for that matter? Basically the overall question is what kind of techniques do ponies use to fight or defend themselves? DISCUSS! :D

  3. My roommate just asked about bronies, saying he saw some posts I made on facebook. So I just explained it to him and he says he's cool with it. :D He's a pretty nice guy to begin with so I didn't think I'd have problems with him.

  4. 1) Be weary of your roommate. If he is open-minded you don't need to hide anything, but if he isn't, I'd recommend keeping your conflicting interests to a bear minimum. You'll be spending a decent amount of time together. You don't want things to be awkward.*

    I pretty much agree with you on that. I didn't mention my little obsession with my roommate when I was contacting him on facebook, as I didn't think it was particularly important at the time. Then again, I have pony stuff on my page. He hasn't brought it up, though. So either he doesn't know or he doesn't care. Both of which I'm fine with.

    So schools coming around the corner and I'm about to start my first year of college! I'm going to move in tomorrow and I'll start classes on Monday :D

    So I'm wondering how was your experience in college as a brony? Any tips about roommates, classes, etc. that you can lend me? Any stories related to your or another's bronyness? And if your like me (just starting college as well), what are your concerns if any?

    I MUST HAVE ALL THE INFO
