Unity 332 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 If a Pony were to be shaved what do you think would happen to their cutie mark? Would it be on their skin? whatchta r ur thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hierok 11,832 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 Ponies don't shave. I don't even think they have hair sometimes which would mean it is drawn on their skin. If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example.

Ethan Tran 950 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 did you even seen a picture of a horse (pony) up close? their body hair isn't that long, to cover a cutiemark (which is some sort of magical tattoo?). so you'll see that "tamed" pony with a cutiemark all the time. only their mane is pretty long. body hair is too short. so even if you shave one, there'll be not much difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderbolt Slipstream 263 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 Not much, their body hair is already super short so it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, who would shave their body hair in the show? I have to do better... WE HAVE to do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FizzyGreen 909 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 The coat is what has the colors of the cutie mark, not the fur above it. I haven't seen alot of fluffy flanks so far so i dunno but the most i've seen only have coat and almost no fur. "You are right Starlight, you are more talented in magic than me.

Sunny Fox 5,952 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 I'm sorry, but you're all flat out wrong. This was already answered in Ponyville Confidential: The fur is what makes the cutie mark, not the skin. Exhibit A: Snips' and Snails' cutie marks disappear when their fur is shaved to get rid of bubblegum. You can even see the remnants. 3 Happy minion of The Fabulous One!

Fhaolan 4,484 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 Yeah, @Sunny Fox is right, although that is somewhat disappointing of an answer. I had several different headcannons before that episode, all wrong. Ah well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Midnight Madness 1,544 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 Well first I think it would dissapear but then it would come back once the fur comes back. The cutie mark has magical properties and would reappear when the ponies fur is completely grown back. 2 By @Fangirl Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Tran 950 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 (edited) c'mon guys! are you serious? it's just a joke moment, referring to old cartoons like Tom&Jerry, mostly all old Disney shows and such. example: this moment with Snips and Snails is not cannon, just a funny ref. imho of course, but I don't see how cutiemark would be on the fur... so y'all saying, that the fur is glowing...

Ehh... just treat hair follicles like they're pixels on a computer monitor. Each follicle is set to grow hair of a specific color. So even if you shave, viola, cutie mark returns in a few days or weeks. Edited August 12, 2018 by bornAgainEquestrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saved me the trouble of tracking down (or making) a screen capture. This was literally exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread. PS. On the far left, that pony is enjoying Snips and Snail's plight just a LITTLE too much! 1 Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManaMinori 4,145 August 12, 2018 Share August 12, 2018 One need only look at the ponies that had flocking back in g1. Their symbols are under their fur, if you deflock the pony, but is still visble through the flocking if it is kept on 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...

While I agree with you that the intent of the scene was to make a joke, that doesn't in any way make it non-canon. It's still evidence that a cutie mark disappears when the fur is shaved off, which is what the OP was asking. The fur doesn't need to glow, the hair just grows out in whatever colour is needed to make up the cutie mark. As for the dalmation fact: it's interesting, true, but that doesn't really make any kind of a difference to the world of the show. Actually, I too thought at first it would be obvious that the cutie mark would be on the skin, not the fur, so I was surprised when I turned up the screenshot. But one has to follow the evidence presented. 1 Happy minion of The Fabulous One!

碇 シンジン 27,432 August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 I font think it would affect it any way as I think it is kinda become one flesh with the pony that has it. By that I mean that you cannot really get rid of it unless you force it off with magic or physically chop it off. It seemed pretty painful when starlight was ripping them so i I don't think simple shaving could erase it Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 What I'm curious about is Starlight's pulling the cutie mark off them and replacing it with the equals signs, same with Twilight's miscast spell and the maps glowing colourshift. If we assume that its the coat itself growing in a different colour than those would all be events where the colour of individual hair/fur follicles are actually being changed on them. Could explain why it tickles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
