spoiler Holy Cow, Guess What Babs Seeds' Cutie Mark Looks Like?

[Batbrony 16,055]

OK, so I just started rewatching "Bloom and Gloom," and you'll never believe what I noticed Babs's scissor cutie mark looked like upon closer inspection!

 

 

That's right, the base of the scissors looks like a sliced apple, with seeds near the center and even a little green stem on the side.  I guess there's not much to discuss about this since it's just a fun little observation (probably signifies her being a part of the Apple family rather than anything to do with her special talent itself), but feel free to chat about any other fun observations you've all made about other cutie marks in the show.

I totally didn't notice that but that is such a cute little detail oh my gosh thank you for pointing it out 

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Wow! That's interesting. Now time to figure out what the cutie mark means.

Would you really want your hair cut by someone with no fingers?

[Abia 258]

Oh my gosh, that's awesome! I was already happy that she got her cutie mark, and this makes it even better.

I know, I love little details like that, they're so cool!!!

Well I thought they were pretty clear that it meant she's gonna be a hairdresser (or manedresser?) given that Sweetie Belle mentioned that she was always futzing with her mane and tail (I liked that little detail too, including the tail as something they'd groom along with their manes), but I guess we'll know for sure next time she shows up.

I'll admit, I'm still trying to figure out how exactly that's supposed to work for an earth pony. 

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

Sharp eye there, good observation! I would've never realized by myself. 

[Yoshi89 5,293]

Still doesn't explain how that kind of pair of scissors is supposed to cut, though.

Maybe they operate scissors using both their forelegs while standing on their hind hooves.

I won't lie, I kinda hope she holds them with her mouth, just because that would take the "What The Buck" levels through the roof!  :comeatus:

That would be epic in a hilarious sort of way. I'm thinking the scissors are really big and she just uses a hoof for each side. There's just no other way that isn't...pffft....funny....

Just letting you know I added a spoiler prefix to the thread.

[AlbaTross 1,586]

Awww, it's nice to see that no matter what her destiny is, she's still an apple to the core. That must mean that Applebloom's cutie mark will most likely have an apple theme to it even if she's destined for something outside of Sweet Apple Acres, which means she probably doesn't need to be afraid of what it might be. Either way, Babs's cutie mark opens the door to the idea of lineage sometimes impacting cutie marks. Maybe it means that they aren't necessarily reflective of one simple meaning, and maybe more than one meaning can be woven into them. In this case, it might mean that Babs is destined for some kind of barber/salon career, but will remember her roots.

 

As for how ponies operate scissors, I would assume they use their front hooves like they do with any number of objects. I don't know how they get by without thumbs or even fingers, but if we start questioning these things it all falls apart. That does make me wonder what a Pony Tales-esque series set in the current decade would be like. Imagine if ponies have to operate smart phones.

tried everywhere looking for that cutie mark. thx for posting it. now to figure out what it means.

[Pastel 7,630]

Wut, how come no one noticed that earlier?

I guess Applebloom will get something similar, even if her cutie mark isn't apples related.

Wow, and here I was disappointed that Babs's cutie mark is not apple related (since she's part of an Apple family) Great attention to a detail, I would never find that out.

[Lucia 100]

Wow, awesome! Cute mark.

 

I bet the show developers have a lot of fun designing cutie marks

[Silver Letter 1,832]

The cutie mark is neat with the apple motif still present. I am not a fan of Babs being a hair dresser. I think that is just random but oh well. I guess they had to pick something for her.

That's cool, I wasn't sure if something this small qualified as a spoiler, but hey, your call. 

 

Would it be okay to ask when this was shown? I don't recall Babs being visible with her CM in the episode at all, just mentioned.

 

Yeah, it was as shown at the very start for about two seconds when Apple Bloom showed the letter Babs had written about getting her cutie mark.  It was right at the bottom of the letter next to where Babs signed her name.

When the CMC were in the clubhouse if you look really closely at the letter that Apple Bloom holds up you can see the cutie mark at the bottom of it, it is kinda small but it is there.

[Mane Quest 104]

Hmm, must have had to freeze the footage or something. I don't even recall ever seeing the letter, just Bloom talking about it. K thanks.

You're a little late, but thanks to you too.

Yeah, I didn't see the other post

[Firedog 320]

LOL I think this title has spoilers XP

[kageyuki 59]

she has a cutie mark now? when did she got it?

[Flying Vantas 107]

Babs Seed will get her revenge on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon by opening her own salon, then shaving their manes off when they are the customers... fanfiction idea is mine!

[AlbaTross 1,586]

Actually rewatched the episode today before Tanks, and it seems I missed around 5 seconds with the letter. It was clearly shown and I missed it. Oops.

That's not uncommon when watching stuff online, so it's understandable. I used to re-watch the previous week's episode in preparation for the current week's back when I watched anime(which has been some years ago now that I think about it), and I considered doing that with FiM this season despite this series having isolated episodes. I ultimately decided not to since I don't have as much spare time these days, but this is the first season I'm watching as it airs and I'm enjoying counting down the days every week till the next episode airs. Now we have seven more days to go. Man, this Saturday can't come soon enough. Edited April 25, 2015 by Tross

Good eye, and that's a great  of showing Bab's talent, AND a nod of being of the Apple clan
