While having a higher threshold for the behavior, gel ponies will give each other ‘sorry hoofsies’, particularly males establishing social hierarchy. Of course, the ineffectiveness of hoofpad strikes from gel ponies can hardly be overstated, leading to essentially no damage to either participant.
Apparently, no one has told the ponies, who take their battles extremely seriously. It is a good thing that their physiology makes it so difficult for them to actually hurt one another, as efforts to separate them are often severely hampered by laughter.
Blork notes:
I drew this just before Christmas and could not stop laughing at it. Probably no one will think it’s anywhere near as funny as I do, but now that it doesn’t look like I’m trying to get around the Subspecies Contest rules, here it is.
I imagine these fights sound like jelly-filled condoms whapping each other.
This is already how I imagine fights between regular fluffies going, so it’s difficult to imagine something that’s even more pathetic than a fluffy. Perhaps since gel ponies (jellies?) are less social and less intelligent than fluffies, they end up being less likely to start crying in the middle of the fight and therefore are both physically and mentally more resilient.
