Discordian 6,015 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 What if it were possible for a filly to get a "fake" cutie mark. Like say, they get a cutie mark and believe it's theirs but later realize that it may not be and it suddenly disappears and they have to find a new cutie mark. I know they kinda explored fake cutie marks with Twilight casting magic and the Cutie Pox episode but basically I mean: What if a Cutie Mark could disappear?

Saiko 67 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 I don't think it could disappear on its own,with no reason, but maybe if some major, unexpected thing changed in pony's life? like, if Rainbow lost her wings because of some accident, she wouldn't be able to fly anymore and her Cutie Mark, now making no sense, would only make her think of painful memories and what she has lost. Maybe it would disappear or change then? But I don't think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Accord 6,660 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 An interesting thing to consider. Perhaps if a pony went through a massive change in their fundamental personality. Like Pinkie going goth, or Fluttershy becoming a hunter. (Note how these aren't really GOOD changes in personality. Not that hunting itself is bad, but it's definitely subversive to Fluttershy's nature.)

Discordian 6,015 January 26, 2012 Author Share January 26, 2012 Yeah, it definitely wouldn't happen on it's own. Either through trauma or just a serious change, as you both said, the very thing that makes them special could change. Rainbow loves being fast, what if something happened because she wasn't fast enough? What if Twilight's Magic just crapped out on her permanently? Not very likely examples but examples nonetheless.

Tom 891 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 It would be the worst possible thing. In all seriousness I doubt an episode like that would happen. I'd like to thank the MLP Vector Club for the images used in my avatar. Known as "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza", "Trixie the Great", "Tom" and "Tomzoid the EggDroid".

I used to be a stranger 7,993 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Technically I think that concept was explored already in The Cutie Pox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Well... I guess if their cutie marks show their proffession, and it changed... it could change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenohay 318 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 The cutie mark shows their talents. Even if Rainbow lost her wings, it would still be her special talent, even if she lost her wings. So yeah, I believe every pony is stuck with their cutie marks till they die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixies Apprentice L 493 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 The cutie mark shows their talents. Even if Rainbow lost her wings, it would still be her special talent, even if she lost her wings. So yeah, I believe every pony is stuck with their cutie marks till they die I second this even is something traumatizing happened and they stopped using their talents it doesnt mean the talents is not there they just wont be able to use it ~In construction~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor XFizzle 8,669 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Or a different idea, have a villain who either has a machine or a method that brainwashes ponies into other lines of work/hobby/purpose, therefore erasing their cutie marks and shifting to a different one. Insert some morality lesson about always being yourself and you have an episode or 2-part special.

Twi Rubix 726 January 27, 2012 Share January 27, 2012 I think... 1: 2 cutie marks will appear. (Cutie Pox kinda convinced me.) 2: I think a cutie mark its stuck there because you found your special talent. Although, there can be 2. So maybe... if you tire out of your other talent, and like the new one more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
