I'm not a professional writer so I shouldn't be the one doing this. But a 7 year old has better writing practices than the current moron in charge.

The current show since season 2 started has managed to provide the worst possible outcomes for every idea imagined. Especially common ideas we've all waited for like the personality swap episode.

Remember when season 1 managed to save a shitty episode(Boast Busters) with the help of the second act?(Twilight's impressive magical abilities against the celestial bear).

Just like Legend Quest(another cartoon show) they'd start off boring, with a generic premise and then turn it around into a different direction with a much better premise.

She looked better without that ice blue streak, but I can see why they added it. Between the purple curl and the blue eyes, she looks altogether too much like Rarity.

Alright team how do we go about making an annoying Dolores Umbridge in MLP about "equality"?

I say we don't make her annoying. We don't focus on equality and we don't blame the cutie marks.

At least we now know what to not do.

That's a teal streak. Teal is often associated with cheap bootleg toys. Because it's a very cheap color between blue and green. And I mean teal not the beautiful turqouise.

bumping for this.

I think a better pretense was if she picked up adult ponies who never found their cutie marks.

And let's make one thing straight if we're going to make a huge list of NOs.

They were all talentless rural ponies from a bumfuck place smaller and worse than Ponyville so they should obviously not just be extremely dumb, but extremely weak.

I don't think this episode even deserved a 2 parter.

Cutie marks are cancer, but this goes the wrong route for dealing with the problem.

The issue isn't that some ponies are better than others at things.

The issue is that cutiemarks restrict individuals to a specific route.

Shithorse should be free to do whatever said shithorse wishes to do, to struggle to any number of abilities and so on.

No idea who that is. Don't really watch the show no more. But, if his goal was merely to encourage ponies to find their own purpose in this life, instead of following blindly whatever appears on their rump, more power to the guy.

The cutie mark is supposed to appear after the pony finds their purpose in life, as a symbol that they have discovered themselves. It doesn't show up to enslave them to an unjust fate.

also Tirek stole the cutie marks because they made him powerful and he wanted to rule the world. He also took unicorns' magic and pegasus' flight

>>296777

Magic is for cucks, anyway.

As far as that jazz goes, the problem is, while you do 'find' the symbol, it's still stuck on your rump after. You're still stuck in that 'purpose' so to speak. Not to mention, when you're seeking your purpose, if your cutie mark doesn't show up, that's the shit telling you "THIS ISN'T YOUR PLACE, DO AS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO".

Cutie marks are cancer.


927f33 (3) No.296795>>296803

>>296793

The whole point is you get your cutie mark when you've found a purpose that you won't ever want to change. And it's not like you can't have other hobbies. Starlight is really into kites for some reason. Not to mention that what your cutie mark is about and what you do with it are two different things. Two ponies who both like baking can have totally different careers which still center around baking.

>if your cutie mark doesn't show up, that's the shit telling you "THIS ISN'T YOUR PLACE, DO AS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO".

It's not fate telling you to fuck off, it's yourself telling you to fuck off. If a pony found something that was their calling in life, they wouldn't not get their cutie mark. That only happens when you know deep down that that isn't for you.

It hurts when nature just won't make you good at anything and you have to live in that shithole of a town, doesn't it?

>>296795

That's part of the point, though. A pony with a trains cutie mark will never be as good at carrot farming, as a pony with a carrot cutie mark.

So, when you've got your cutie mark, you're stuck. You will never advance beyond your mark's station. If you've got a janitorial cutie mark, you won't ever end up a great clarinetist renowned throughout the world.

A person shouldn't have a 'calling'. Certainly not one what appears on their rump, solidifying their position in life to only ever encompass that area.

As you said yourself, while a baker marked pony might do something different from another baker marked pony, they're still going to revolve around baking.

A janitor pony would not give a shit about clarinet because he likes janitoring. Or maybe he does play clarinet on the weekends but that's not the thing that gives him fullfillment. You choose the mark, it does not choose you.

>>296803

You still seem to think a your mark is some kind of divine order you have to carry out without question, but whats important about a cutie mark isn't what the mark IS, its how you interpret it.

For example, Rarity may have Gems as her mark, and the ability to find gems as her special ability, but you don't see her slaving away in a mine all day long now, do you?


fec7f0 (1) No.296806>>296808

>>296803

Cutie marks are presumably either a biological phenomenon or driven by a omniscient force (let's call it fate). It is impossible for a pony to be dissatisfied with their fate as their fate is heavily geared towards the personality and talents. The cutie mark is not a mark designed to constrict the marked as it is not "designed" in the first place. It is a part of who they are. One could perhaps draw the conclusion that the fate of all ponies is already pre-determined.


41828a (7) No.296808>>296814 >>296828 >>296837

>>296806

Perhaps that's my issue, then.

Never liked fate. Fate's a shitheap, you ask me. Someone tells me it's 'fate' to do something, I'm more inclined to flip them off and do the opposite.

Ultimately we can't know our fate. But that's not really the point. You shouldn't live with fate hanging over your head. You shouldn't live knowing your purpose. You shouldn't simply fit in a specific slot.

People ought to find their own goal in life, absent of any specific role or meaning. You don't improve or strive to greener pastures when you know your role in society, when you have your cog in the machine. That, to me, strikes me as major cancer.

Maybe that's why pony society seems to be on the whole so stagnant.

Not that any other races're shown to be much better, but all the same.

>>296805

This is a bit fairer, but it really depends on how you interpret the mark at that point, still. And of course, you're also still stuck in the position you interpret it to.

I've still got doubts how a train-marked pony's going to be a carrot farmer, or the janitor marked pony's going to be a clarinetist.

>>296804

You, fate, it doesn't matter, you're still stuck in the same rut. Sure, you say "he likes janitoring", but I'd ask, would he really be mopping people's floors were he to not have that mark?

Would he really choose to clean toilets instead of striving to something better?

I've got my doubts.

You can interpret them in a hundred ways. Look at how Cheerilee explained her own three flowers in "Call of the Cutie."

Or how a pony with a flower cutiemark can be a teacher?

Or how a pony with talent for prospecting for gems can be a fashion designer and run a whole chain of stores?

Or how a pony with a talent for candy can be a special agent sorry for even referring to that episode

Or how a pony with a bubble mark can be a semi good mail pony?

The interpretations can clearly be pretty fucking loose and metaphorical and I don't see any reason why they couldn't change over someone's life.

The spell in MMC was more than just their cutiemarks. There was some mindcontrolling component that rewrote everyone's personality and memory in the process to make the mane 6 try to take over eachothers lives.

When Glimglam switched Luna and Celestia's marks, none of this effect was present. Neither of them thought they had always lived the other's life.
