Since just about everyone has been asking for the CMC to get their cutie marks, and it was part of Lauren's original vision for the show, I thought this would be a good topic to cover. Here's my thoughts on the mater: Applebloom A pony named Gearhead comes to town, saying he's an old friend of AJ's parrents and wants to help her make Sweet Apple Acres great with mechines. Applejack is not cool with the idea, and it comes to a head with her competing against the mechine and hurting herself in the prossess. Applebloom realizes that AJ is being to stubborn and somepony has to tell her off (maybe with Luna's help?). Applebloom gets Gearhead to tell AJ how he became friends with their parrents, which gives AJ context to why Gearhead thinks the way he does and accept him. Applebloom realizes that she can get ponies to work together in a way no pony else can. Sweetie Belle Sapphire Shores visits Rarity's shop and overhears Sweetie Belle singing. Seeing that Sweetie Belle has real tallent, she tries to help her shine. Rarity tries to explain that Sweetie has stage fright, but she won't listen. Sweetie Belle struggles to get away from Sapphire. Eventually, Fluttershy talks calmly to the two of them, convincing Sapphire that she overstepped her bounds and Sweetie that she needs to face her fears. You can tell where it goes from there. Scootaloo Upset to be only foal left in her class with no cutie mark, Scootaloo visits Discord for comfort. Discord offers to take her on as an apprentice, but secretly tells Scoots parrents to let her stay over with him. He puts Scootaloo through a serries of "tests" that gradually reveal to her what her true tallent is.

No Matter How Much I Watch, My Emotions Still Flare
Forlong replied to Miles's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Discord's reformation still brings tears to my eyes. "Terik tricked me into to thinking he could offer something more valuable than friendship, but there is nothing more valuable. He lied when he said this medalion was given as a sign of graditude and loyalty. But when I say it's a sign of our true friendship, I'm telling the truth." Gets me every time. -

Forlong replied to ManaMinori's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
The dragon at the end of The Journal of the Two Sisters wouldn't have a problem knocking a kingdom or two down out of spite. Discord isn't the only one who can make a mess of things. Trixie did the same thing on a smaller scale. Discord may have a serpent tail, but he is not a serpent. He may have a goat horn, but he is not a goat. He may have a lion paw, but he is not a lion. He is no more a dragon than a crocodile is a dinosaur. FALSE! The Journal of the Two Sisters stated that that their growth rate is different than that of other ponies, thus are mortal. Only females can be alicorns? Sure, keep telling yourself that. Only way is to be blessed by Celestia? That didn't happen to Cadence. Celestia was unaware of her existence until after she became an alicorn. -
The Journal of the Two Sisters clearified that the Crystal Empire was ruled by a unicorn Princess Amore before Sombra rose to power (likely murdering her). Since Cadence is not a pure crystal pony and was born a pegasus, this means that her father must have been an outsider and pegasus. That is assuming that she is in fact, the proper heir to the throne, but we don't need to discuss that here. Of course, the only male pegasi that we know of from that time period is Commander Hurricane. Of course, he was also a high profile pony, who probably interacted with Amore a lot. Also, since his work would require him to be far from the Crystal Empire at times, this would give us an easy way for Cadence to not be in the Crystal Empire when Sombra took over. I mean, I'd think "murder the one heir to the throne" would be pretty high on Sombra's "to do list". Of course, this doesn't explain how Cadence became time displaced. But that's complicated in so many ways it isn't even funny.

The IDW comics have cleared up a few things about King Sombra. We now know that he was not king proper. He proclaimed himself king, likely after taking over the Crystal Empire. He was also relatively unknown to Celestia and Star Swirl prior to his rise to power. Finally, his powers came from some outside force that made him all the more evil. My thoughts on the matter: Sombra was an ambisious, but weak unicorn. Her could handle simple spells without trouble, but was unable to acheive impressive works of more well known unicorns. Envious of their power, Sombra sought out the alicorns, thinking they could teach him spells that even Star Swirl had never heard of. However, the alicorns could sense darkness in his heart and instead tried to teach him how to care for others. Believing they were just depriving him of the magic he felt he deserved, Sombra saught to teach himself. In his studies, he learned of an ancient monevolent evil that killed the gods. When he found out the alicorns and draconiqui sealed the evil away long ago, he searched for the seals. With even a fraction of it's power, he'd be more powerful than an alicorn, let alone a unicorn. However, when he absorbed magic from the Bane of the Gods, it amplified the darkness in his heart and killed what good was left in it. His frustrations turned to anger and he moved against the alicorns, slowly causing them to become extinct (except for Celestia and Luna, of course).
