What is Snails' special talent?

[ggg-2 3,550]

Snips' talent is relatively easy to figure out, but what is Snails' talent? a snail cutie mark is rather odd.

[Guest]

Never considered this before.

 

Umm..maybe he's slow?

[Buck Testa 5,503]

Snips and snails are based off the rhyme "snips and snails and puppydog tails, that is what little boys are made of"

 

their talent is being stereotypical little boys, which is why they are less interesting then Mauds pet rock.

I'll have you know, Boulder is excellent at 'camouflage' and enjoys the occasional picnic. Great character

I feel like it would be ironic for me to reply to this topic.

Its sad when the rock has a more defined character than snails. The touching friendship it haas with Maud really spoke to me too. Boulder for beyest Pony.

His special talent is collecting snails or studying shelled creatures. (Too lazy to look up what the proper word is.)

 

He probably doesn't have an actual special talent like most of the characters in the show. Why they have their cutie marks, I don't know. In my Snips and Snails fan fiction, Snip's special talent is cutting coupons, but it's a fanfiction. I didn't mention Snail's special talent in it. But it might have something to do with collecting snails.

Maybe he likes snails?

Maybe his cutie mark has a hidden meaning?

Or maybe the one who drew him gave him a random name and cutie mark.

[Wind Chaser 4,767]

Maybe he has an unseen pet snail, which we'll never see because he's too busy being co-worst pony with his dumb little buddy Snips.

 

However, with Snips, it's much easier to imply that he probably has no balls. :comeatus:

 

And the whole thing with their names referencing "snips and snails and puppy dog tails" implies that they're very talented at being negative male stereotypes and perpetuating the gender divide in a show that's supposed to bridge the gender divide.

I wonder if that played any part in the fact that no one likes them what so ever....hmmm....

 

The next gen of fillies got slim pickings if they are going to be looking for guys... unless they bring Button Mash out of the background that is.

[Old Fluttershy 349]

It probably has some secret meaning, after all Cheerilee has three flowers yet her talent is teaching not gardening.

[Cwanky 17,445]

Snails talent as many have noted, is being a stereotypical boy, which is ironic given that since Lauren Faust and the writers try to make FiM more appealing to everyone, Hasbro still insists on marketing it heavily as a show for stereotypical girls.

[Falsey 44]

Like many ponies, he seemingly has a talent that is useless, and even detrimental, poor Snail. I think his detrimental talent is being slow.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,838]

His special talent is being a cringe-worthy male stereotype. 

 

The snail on his flank represent the amount of imaginative motion that was going on in his creators mind when he was conceived,in other words: Not a whole lot.

[Spikey-Wikey 378]

Taking care of snails is his special talent.

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

Two theories.

 

A. He's a chef and the snail symbolizes cooking escargo.

 

B. he's an entomologist.

[chirox the pony 1,334]

He doesn't have one. Neither does Snips. Both are just a result of the animators lack of imagination (at least in regards to those characters). 

[MoltenKitten 341]

He is a little slow as evident in many episodes

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

Being the worst fucking character ever

[Red Cedar 1,406]

Escargot farming. Or garden pest removal.

[RivkaBobble 110]

Snails seems to be monumentally slow in speed and thinking. Perhaps he's just slow like a snail.

Either that or just being a complete dumbass.

[cider float 2,535]

He takes care of snails in his snail farm.

[Blackened 512]

His talent resides in being slow, in all senses. That is why his cutie mark is a snail.

[Overlord0909 479]

No one took it as a snail being slow, so he's good at being slow too? (I didn't read all the posts, and plus it's rude to say anyways )
