Haha, yeah, I found out actually! Also, I did it! I totally did it and ohmygosh it WORKED! I LOST MY MIND afterwards! Like, the feeling sensation, while not completely, like, overwhelming, was totally there, and, like, I'm still on it! It took some minute afterwards to sink in, but soon, I just, I found myself talking to everything, and bouncing around, and then I turned on music (starting with Smile, Smile, Smile, of course!) and made some breakfast, and.. OHMYGOSH I have NEVER, IN MY LIFE, HAD SO MUCH FUN, MAKING BREAKFAST!!! I sang and I danced and every time I grabbed something I had to toss it over my head to see if I could spin around and catch it (most of the time I caught it!) and I kept almost burning stuff because I'd find myself forgetting about the stove to start singing into my fork like a microphone and bouncing around and it was just CRAZY!!! And then, I tried this homemade jam we made, that I hadn't actually tried yet, and OH. MY. GOSH. I just about DIED. It was the first sweet thing I'd tried since trancing, and, just, it jolted my mind like some kind of drug. And YouTube is now the funniest thing on the gurddurned planet now. ....I ended up choosing Pinkie, if it isn't obvious~

Oooh this sounds so EXCITING! I can't wait to try it gonna dooo it oh WOW! I'm just waiting for my forum confirmation e-mail come on come on com ooooon already! I wonder how many different ponies I can try to be! Or, who I'll try to be first! I wanna be Derpy..~

Yeah I definitely want something more subtle over just 'something I'm into.' Cutie Marks on characters like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are pretty obviously the epitome of shallow marks. And I'm sorry I really did agonize over where to put this. Thought it might be too personal to go into a community thing, and as is likely painfully obvious, I'm pretty new here.. I'll be trying harder, but I -did- try.. Yeah it's definitely that sort of deal, a little overwhelming at first. I really started thinking about it when I was stuck waiting for a bus and just started spending my time thinking about ponies instead of reading a book or playing my DS or something and really got into it.. Decided on Pegasus and the color fairly easy, light tan with long blond hair like mine (though he won't have to bleach his..oh and yeah he's a he, though he doesn't mind being called a her :comeatus:), started coming up with a bit of personality.. Really nomadic, not much one for flying so much kind of a-la Fluttershy, as she is the pony I most identify with, but just hit that classic cutie mark snag.. Thought maybe I'd just be all 'well he's shy so he just wears pants all the time anyways' as a placeholder, cause well, we see it works for Maude. But ah well! All the speculation and time spent thinking about it -is- part of the fun I guess~

Hullo~ This is a problem I've been having.. I'm a little new to the brony fandom (Hi!) and have really been wanting to come up with an OC for myself. Like, a character that would be -me- if I was in Equestria. I'm just so freaking demandingly picky when it comes to character design. As part of the furry fandom, I've been the same character, Sai the Skunk, for ten whole years now. I want to get this right, and being as obsessively silly as I am, I've spent a long time agonizing over this. So far I know that I'm a unicorn. Blah blah details blah light tan details long blond mane blah details light effeminate build blah blah blah pegasus blah...but anyways, I hit a snag when it came to my name and cutie mark. It's almost existential in its question. Who am I? What represents ME.. It's not a silly character. My love for computers and video games, or fighting and substance abuse, or cross dressing and faggotry, or health food and origami, just...don't feel like they could represent this character. I want something that envelops who I am at my core, not just a passion or something I'm good at or my job. As for who I am, well, I'm a quiet, kind of girly and shy gay man on one side, and a through and through west-coast punk on the other. I can fight -very- well despite my appearances and have a love of martial arts, though I prefer gentleness and a meek demeanor, being sweet and nice to people and especially good with animals. My strengths lie in logic, a monk-like level of control over my emotions, top-tier people and social skills and a fantastic grasp of the English language. Those along with wit, reflexes, a completely unbound sense of humor and a drive to be the kind of change I want to see in this world. An abridged personality assessment, I know, though I wouldn't mind expanding if there's interest. I also don't mean to come off as some kind of elitist or Mary Sue, as I know I'm -quite- flawed in -many- ways, but part of the fun of cutie marks is nobody gets them over the things they're -bad- at. But anyways.. Is there any way to turn that into a cutie mark? How far can you take concepts so incorporeal and abstract to turn them into a butt tatoo? Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on what I could use? Questions for me? Maybe stories on how you came up with a cutie mark that really means a lot to you? Or just expansion on these string-of-consciousness ramblings? I'll be very eager to stay active in this thread and keep the discussion going if you share. I'd love to hear from you all..~
