Thoughts on "The Fault in Our Cutie Marks" · 2:07am February 6th
This episode is one I really enjoyed a lot as it's about a fun character named Gabby. Gabby is a young, eccentric griffin who is curious and inquisitive in nature. Her infatuation with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and her determination to get a cutie mark is something that is unlike any griffin we've seen so far; most of them are quite angry, greedy, and selfish in nature, so it's quite a shock to see one so spry and selfless. Despite her desire to get a cutie mark, she's more concerned about helping others and even trying to make the Cutie Mark Crusaders feel better when they fail to get her one. The thing that made this episode special is Gabby, and it's the reason I decided to write a short story about her. I wish she had come into the show more, but what little we got of her was great.
Dissecting the montage song about what Gabby is good at.
- helps mix cauldron for Zecora; ok, so this makes sense, but clearly, as she has claws, I can't imagine stirring something with hooves.
- She teaches pre-calculus; she's no older than ten, at least for me. They usually didn't teach this until junior year in high school, so she's quite literally a mathematical genius to me.
- scrubs floors for Rarity; Rarity getting some free labor, lol
-cleans kelps; ok, where is this beach? I'm sure Ponyville is landlocked
- helps with the apple orchard; Applejack getting some free labor XD
- basiclly helping a mother out; my goodness, this was super cute, and dang, did that mom look like she needed the help
- help lift a load for bulk biceps and walked granny across the street; generally just being a good neighbor
- play baseball!? That Weird. I wasn't sure if this would make sense in MLP since they invented buckball. But it works
- assistant dentist? How does she know how to do that!? XD
- cheers up a pony; well, dang, that's just sweet
- does gardening; shows off using her claws once again
- writes music and plays clarinet; if this doesn't scream genius, I don't know what does
-bakes cakes; good to know somepony can bake cakes outside the Cakes themselves and Pinkie Pie.
- sails boats; I am shocked again. Where are they doing this? Ponyville is landlocked. XD.
