Crazy Headcanons
And Brother I Hurt People 
There’s an alternate universe where everything is the same except, at one point in time, zebras were taken as slaves. Zecora is Fancy Pants’ slave, but the two are actually quite close friends.

Human Pinkie Pie knew how Twilight ended up in the human world. Pony Pinkie Pie knew what happened with Twilight in the human world. So, all Pinkie Pies are somehow linked in a way that they are aware of what is happening with each other.
So, that is what Pinkie Sense is. When something is about to happen, a different Pinkie Pie with a better view of what is going to happen warns the Pinkie Pie about what is about to happen.
Got another Crazy Headcanon here. Now, this is based from info from the Equestria Girls movie, so if you have not seen it yet, then don’t read this Crazy Headcanon.

That’s me too! I have all these great ideas for stories, and I’d like to write them down, but I only get about 3 paragraphs in before the idea runs out of gas.

This fic
Shameless plug for a fic that I really think deserves some attention, I did not write it or edit it, I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it.
I just feel that it deserves some attention and that it really does fit here. I won’t spoil it but it definitely is a crazy headcanon.
And just so everyone knows, most of my crazy headcanons I post are just ideas I had for fics but I lack the ability to write canon characters so I just post them here and let people have a go at them if they want.

Instead of a “death penalty”, the convicted are sent to Griffin lands to be “invited over for dinner”.

Anything pig-intellect and below is legal to eat in equestria.Griffin lands are complicated. There are large safe zones for creatures of the hooved sort, but then there are “hunting grouds” where anything unprotected by another griffin is fair game. Anygriff who gets a pony there is clear for chowing down.

Why? It’s pretty damn hard to justify hacking off part of a unicorn’s skull, even if it makes powerful medicine.

Unfortunately, Unicorn horn derived medicine are illegal in Equestria due to obvious ethical reasons.
@SeraphimDawn
Most of the earth pony and the pegasus population is pretty baffled by that, though.

whoops something else then.The music Vinyl played in her appearance was the first of it’s kind. From there on, she ushered in a new genre of dance music that was later named “Stable”, after a popular club she played at, “The Round Stable”i.e. Vinyl is the Frankie Knuckles of Equestria.
Nice!

(is there any not-so-crazy headcanon thread? Some of these headcanons are more practical than weird. I think I’d like to make one if one doesn’t already exist.)

They grow back. We’ve seen Rarity having her horn filed down, so we know that horns keep growing. The only question is how quickly alicorn grows.

Every headcanon is crazy to someone else. No matter how sane one seems to the poster, others will say that it belongs here. Why have multiple threads and spread it out, when people will think that they belong here anyway?
Besides, going bananas is fun.
Seriously, though, more than one headcanon thread would be redundant.

DJ PON-3 has been following Octavia’s career for years, attended loads of her concerts, and kept track of all of her appearances, but still has yet to try to make contact with her.
Octavia Melody has never actually seen DJ, not does she recognize the name. Despite that, she actually enjoys dubstep, even if she has yet to bother to learn what it’s called.

My personal headcanon is that a unicorn’s horn can be regrown…up to a certain extent. The horn has a bone-and-tissue “root” growing from the unicorn’s head and extending into the center of the horn. The horn grows “around” this root, which is why it has that classic spiral shape.
To illustrate my concept, I will compare a unicorn’s horn to a human hand (I’m sure Lyra would approve).
Filing down horn tip: Filing/clipping down fingernails.
Cutting/breaking off tip: Cutting off half of the fingernail; takes a while to regrow, small chance of improper regrowth.
Cutting/breaking off half the horn, into the root: Tearing out the fingernail entirely. Might not grow back at all.
Cutting/breaking off more than half the horn, deep into the root: Cutting off the finger (or two) entirely. Little to no regrowth, reduction in magical strength and control (much like a hand if when it is missing a finger or two)
Cutting off the horn entirely: Amputation of hand, wrist, and some of the forearm. Complete loss of magical ability, high chance of death of the unicorn.
And that got really dark, really quickly. I’m sorry about that.

Okay, you may want to look up horns. Most horned animals, but not all, have a bony bit at the base that the rest grows around, so that’s normal. Thing is, as long as the horn button is still there, the horns can regrow, and it can be pretty hard to get rid of that. Cauterization is the only thing that’s really guaranteed to do the trick. Some animals. like rhinoceri, can have them sawed off repeatedly and keep growing them back without trouble, so even cutting the entire thing off isn’t guaranteed to stop it from coming back. Complications can be an issue, of course, when a large part of an adult horn was lost.
A living horn isn’t some delicate instrument. It’s being used, and it needs to be able to repair from damage.
Just for reference, rhino horn grows about nine centimeters a year. Assuming the same, and given the fast recuperation that ponies have shown, I’d assume faster is more likely, that’s maybe a year to recover from having it cut off.
I’d assume something like sideways goat horns, myself. They could have their horns removed and cauterized as kids, but as adults they will keep growing new sections, that keep twisting, and could recover from having the later sections removed just fine. Something worth thinking about is that some horns are probably wobbling as they grow, and need either something like a brace to keep straight, or regular trimming to avoid a displeasing form. A filly or colt having to wear braces on their horn is just a funny idea to me.
Incidentally, unicorns as young as a month old can use magic, so the amount of alicorn needed for spell casting is pretty small. An adult with even most of their alicorn snipped off should be fine.
It’s entirely possible that adult unicorns are removing the older parts of their horns as a matter of course, simple to avoid having to deal with aged and delicate tips.
