The latter. I can’t say I’m surprised; Equestria has a society that trusts children more and that puts more responsibility on children. So it’s not surprising that, in an alternate, war-ridden Equestria, Celestia and Luna wouldn’t shy away from sending foals into war.
I like that, even though I feel bad for the colt, because it shows Equestria’s grim potential more than anything else ever did or does to the present day. Also adds a new context to “You know, for kids!”.
Despite no breakfast yet, I just went and put Cerise Sunrise (the foal) under closer analysis…..
Ever since I saw this foal getting sent to war, it was clear to me that it’s a filly because of the way the nose looks and the mane that has that typical cut we see on fillies so often. Only thing that confused me were the lack of eyelashes, but I explained that with an animation error because of the other evidence.
Now I went and compared Cerise’s look with Button Mash and Rumble to prove my point in a short conversation in the character tag categorization thread and noticed for the first time that Rumble’s nose looks like the nose of a filly and that he has a feminine-looking face with that.
Then I went and compared Cerise’s manecut with Noi’s and realized that it actually looks completely different! This isn’t the typical cut so many fillies have at all.
So what we have here is really just a colt with a long mane and a bit of a feminine face….. I wish I would have realized that earlier.
Going by sizes in comparison to Doctor Whooves…
Fillies, young mares, and young stallions ed the war effort along side adults.
How old were the Main Six when they ed? If the time lines are parallel, it’s not a problem. But if the rainboom not happening altered far more than it caused… Damn…
Is there a child soldier tag?
Ran into a glitch so I’ll have to repeat my comment.
They got the paint scheme of a wartime steam locomotive right, they were dull-colored (often black), and similar to preexisting locomotives because the War Production Board prohibited building new locomotives from the rails up (meaning that they would not let the Railroads come up with entirely new designs during the war), they’d even take of most (if not all) of a locomotive’s streamlining in order to use the steel for weapons.

@Maya@EyeGuy Wow damn, so many fellow ducklings running around lately.
We should start up some kind of DB crime family. Only we deal in shitpost instead of bits.
@TheAntiCat
My thoughts as well; they’re clearly carrying civilian belongings. Perhaps a group of fillies and colts will end up in an old house in the country, and will discover an enchanted wardrobe which lets them escape Equestria into a magical land…
safe (695958) +
Safe for work and children.
Screencaps from the show without edits, and only reasonable animation loops, are **always** safe.
**Images tagged safe cannot have any other rating.**
@meiyeezhu
Canon or not, I’d argue a good percentage of the episode was “semi-grimdark”, possibly full on if you want to count the blasted post-apocalyptic hellscape of the final alternate timeline.
I think you misinterpreted what I said
Thank you for that comment. Now I know another rascist person that I can avoid like the plague.

Also this if you’re gonna throw’em any heavy equipment or if you expect about half of them to die :3
Maybe being sent out to live in the country, like what the better off Londoners did.

(Protip: don’t eat the Turkish Delight.)
this. it’s right in the rules
But the rule is that unedited screencaps from episodes are safe by default.
