What would your cutie mark be?

Post Reply New Topic

I hate the term 'cutie mark' but I love the concept.

A cutie mark is a mark that My Little Ponies get on their flank (kind of like a tattoo) that reflects their special interest or special talent. It says something about who they are and what their personality is like.

For example, one pony who has a talent for magic has a star as a cutie mark. One pony that loves animals and spends her time caring for them has butterflies as her cutie mark. One pony that loves to have fun has balloons as her cutie mark. In MLP, ponies don't get to choose their cutie marks; they just appear once they discover their special talent.

So, I'm curious what everyone's special talents or interests are.

If you could have a cutie mark that reflected something about who you are, what would it be and why?

(I don't know what my cutie mark would be; people aren't ponies and some don't have a special talent)

Cutie Mark is like a beauty mark, but it's cute, get it?

I guess mine would be tiny pencil drawing another pony, because I draw cartoons. I'd have to be a unicorn so I can use my magic to work pens and pencils. And maybe make them animated! That would be a dream come true. Unless they got loose in Ponyville and started causing all kinds of mischief...

I'd be a blank flank. Yet to discover how to apply myself to anything and be good at it. Guess I should join the cutie mark crusaders.

I'm passionate about autism and other disabilites...

Turtles are my number one special interest, so my cutie mark would likely be a turtle.

I've always been rather good with animals, so it might have been a butterfly too, or possibly a pencil based on early feedback on my writing. I've always been a bookworm, so it might have been a book too.

I would def prefer it to be a turtle though.

When I was younger, one of the few things I enjoyed much at all was writing fiction.

I took a deep interest in grammar, spelling, and especially the nuances in meanings between similar words, the way two words with very similar definitions can evoke two very different ideas or pictures. To yell or to scream. To giggle or to laugh. Softly or gently. Angry or enraged. Jump or pounce. You can put exactly the picture you want into someone's head if you can find exactly the right words.

I was never all that good, and I haven't written in years, although it's one of those things I perpetually intend to do without seeming to find the time.

But I guess it has been sort of a signature on my life. So, I suppose my cutie mark might be a piece of paper with writing on it, or a pencil (or quill) and paper. Or a book with my name as the author.
