Weird Things in the Show

[Chishio Kunrin]

Title says it all. Post weird things you've noticed in the show.

What brought this on? I got tired of noticing this in the intro:

Why does Celestia's throne have a fountain on it? By the way, look at the window on the right. We see a map, and also a planet that has a ring around it and a moon. Not weird, but neat, and I'm just now noticing it, so I figured I'd point it out.

And I'm still kind of wondering why the ponies have orange tongues:

I figure that I can't be the only one who noticed their tongues are orange, but it seems some fanartists never noticed, considering their fanart has the ponies having pink tongues.

Also, I've noticed a continuity error that the show tends to have with Rainbow Dash's bangs. I think I've mentioned it before. Usually, her bangs are red on top and yellow on bottom, but sometimes it's yellow on top and red on bottom. It's not just from her facing different directions, either.

Spoiler: Comparison, both from the same scene in the same episode • show

Personally, I prefer for her bangs to be red on top yellow on bottom.
And finally:

Is it a requirement for each guard to get a manecut and have their hair installed into their helmet or something?

But overanalyzing is fuuuuun.

Seriously, though, I'm bored.

Does Shining Armor have fingers in this picture?

It's just his hoof markings. Big Mac has similar markings.

Most male ponies seem to have them, I suppose as another gender identifier.

That is kind of funny the way they have their helmets. I never really noticed it before how they all match their manes.

Now that you've told me I see it too...

I'm not sure they're markings, though. To me, it seems more like long fur covering the hooves, like clydesdales have.

So, maybe the stallions who have that long fur over their hooves are clydesdales. After all, a clydesdale is a draft horse - a really large muscular horse meant more for heavy duty work than riding. I always figured Big Mac was one.
