I saw another post on this topic, but I wanted to go a step further. I want to hear peoples stories as to WHY they would have the cutie mark they think they'd have. For me, I think it would either be a compass, a map scroll, flags, or suns with happy faces (similar to Sunny Ray's CM) See, but here is my delemia. A cutie mark is something you develop when you're young, it doesn't per say identify your job or talents (E.g Pinkie pie bakes but her specialty is parties and fun, Rarity is a fashion designer but her CM is gems, making things shine?) The CMCs are going about their Cutie quest way wrong if you ask me lol. I have never been very passionate about many things. And I didn't come into myself until mid highschool (think a pinkie pie sonic rainboom clarity moment). Actually it was when I started making friends, and even later, healthy friendships. My friends now are my ultimate happiness, a very very Smile Song lifestyle, which is where I imagine the Smiling Suns CM for the warm glow my friendships give me. It took even longer for me to figure out what I wanted to do as a career, and now I'm very passionate about my goals as a cartographer. I love to see and learn about the world; I travel when ever I can, and even get stir crazy if I don't go often enough. That's where the compass/map/flags mentality comes from. Now my kafuzzle comes in the timing: these passions came very late by CM standards. As I think it does work in the real world. People need time to sort themselves out to find their passion, and it can take awhile. Regardless though: they're the things I'm passionate about, and if I could pick the things that make me special, my CM, it would be how much I care and am impacted by my friends, and my love of the world and map making. what's your story? -Mulb SIDE NOTE: I was kind of scared by Cupcakes in my early Bronydom, but have recovered, and now relate to Pinkie way too much, can you tell?
