blackwolverine2 3 July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 What does everypony think about a story about a pony who got his cutie mark, but wasn't to happy about what his special talent was. He decides to go against the flow and do what he wants to do. Not what a mark on his flank tells him to. Just an idea I had. Feel free to use it if it's not total rubbish, but if you do, be sure to credit me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyra 56 July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 I have no idea to be honest, it sounds good but it also sound like something that would be hard to work with beacuse to get your cutie mark your special talent HAS to be something your really good at, then again...there's a lot of ponies that have cutie marks that we dont know what exacly they represent, OH WELL! its your fanfic! surprise me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Wind 595 July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 I could try to give it a whirl. Haven't written in a while and I might need someone to edit for grammar and stuff. Is there any specific character you want in it, or setting?? See, I'm Greed. I want everything you can think of. Money and women, power and SEX. I want everything this world's selling! and immortality's topping the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstorm 120 July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 I'd love to read something like that! Seems so obscure and different! It's kind of like my OC Pencil Sketch, except not. She was named Thunderstorm because everyone believed she'd be good at flying and speed and yeah, but later changes he name to Pencil Sketch after finding out she loves drawing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwolverine2 3 July 8, 2013 Author Share July 8, 2013 (edited) I could try to give it a whirl. Haven't written in a while and I might need someone to edit for grammar and stuff. Is there any specific character you want in it, or setting?? Not really, it's just something that popped into my head one day and I felt like someone could make a good story out of it. If you're interested in writing it, then by all means, use whatever character or setting you see fit.

SasQ 1,376 July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 (edited) There actually IS a story of that kind already: a backstory of a pony Flash game called "Minty Fresh Adventure". It's about Colgate, whose cutie mark in the show is a hour glass, but in fandom she is related to tooth paste due to her mane resembling the colors of the toothpaste from the Colgate brand. In the game, she decides her cutie mark is no longer appropriate to her, because now she wants to be a dentist. So she set out for a quest to change her destiny (and cutie mark). @@Guyra: Well said. The cutie mark needs to reflect the special talent of a pony, which in turn determines his/her destiny (though they messed it around in "Magical Mystery Cure"). In my head canon, it reflects the awareness of a pony about what his/her special talent is, since we know from "Show Stoppers" that one can actually do what his/her special talent is, but until one realize it's the special talent, then no cigar. But we also know that ponies can do things in their lives which differ from their cutie marks. For example, Rarity's special talent is supposed to be finding jewels. But her main job, which she very likes and enjoys, is creating beautiful outfits for her friends. It's also not known whether those cutie marks stay on their flanks for the rest of their lives, or they can change later if the pony's special talent changes. So I think it's still safe to explore this subject in a fanfic. But it won't be easy. You would have to try your best to make it convincing.

It means a lot to me to read these positive comments. I have a few other ideas that most people haven't thought of before and I will post them in the future. I probably won't write them though. I might try someday, but I usually don't have the time. When I get caught up in something, it generally makes me neglect some of my other duties. Hopefully someday I'll have enough free time to write a full fanfic, but for now I'll just share my ideas on here and see what others can do with my visions.

I'll have to check that game out sometime and see how similar it is to how I thought the story would play out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
