Midnight Seashell 206 February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 I was just wondering if ponies are truly free? It seems as if a pony strives to earn a cutiemark and once earned, that one cutiemark dictates the rest of their life like how Pinkie's cutiemark has to do with parties and so on.And what would happen if a pony got the wrong cutiemark or never got a cutiemark? Would they still be accepted into pony society and would they still have a future? When Applebloom got the cutiepox she couldn't control herself and her talents went over board, when Starlight equalised the ponies they all lost their special talents and started acting the same.On a similar note, are the mane 6 forced to be the elements of harmony and was Twilight forced to become an alicorn and fulfill her destiny because l don't remember them having a say in the matter and its always these six bearing this burden no matter which universe/world their in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 226 February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 at least with their cutie mark they can know their talent at a young age. its so much better than being underage and feeling the pressue to choose what college study want</3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,008 February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 There is no such thing as being truly free. We are always trapped in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call me Loyalty 1,948 February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 Well, no, given they're an intellectual property from hasbro.My perception is that cutie marks represent self-realization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManaMinori 4,145 February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 Well, no, given they're an intellectual property from hasbro. My perception is that cutie marks represent self-realization. my perception is that cutie marks equal control and imprisonment, at their core. There is a fanfic that really made me see cm's in a new light. In short, ponies trading their freedom for "harmony", or rather, what the TOH perceives as harmony. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/320843/1/where-spike-came-from/spike-fights-for-his-hoard So in my opinion, in answer to the op: so long as a pony has a cutie mark, thy are NOT free Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trademark2 485 February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 I like to think of ponies as being forced to serve the noble, majestic allicorns! That is their purpose in life... Feel free to message or add me everypony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarston1 5,959 February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 Well with the nature of cutie marks that was kinda brought up in MMC, and than the Tree of Harmony, people have kinda been speculating these kinds of existential questions regarding the show for a while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 February 16, 2017 Share February 16, 2017 I remember someone once said of Astrology "The stars impel, they do not compel". IMO, Cutie Marks are the same. Think about it Pinkie has balloons, she is a baker Rarity has diamonds, she should be a jeweler or a gem miner Twilight has a Magic Cutie Mark & became a librarian. Fluttershy has butterflies, she should be a lepidopterist, not running an animal shelter. Derpy has 7 bubbles. What does that have to do with delivering the mail? No, IMO you have the right Cutie Mark it helps you get a job, (Think about it would you want a doctor whose Cutie Mark was floral arrangement?) but it by no means rules your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
