Can cutie marks be wrong? What if a pony really isn't good at what they're destined to do? What if they hate it? What if it was possible to change yourself into someone you wanted to be?

GUISE! I could actually really use a cover photo for my story. If any artists out there (Or even art-savvy people who know of a picture) can help me, I'd appreciate it! I can't really into art, so I wouldn't even know where to look.

I'm intrigued. Please continue.

I like this story, very homely, very down to Earth. It's a nice change of pace to read a peaceful fan fic after all this time. Thank you! :twilightsmile:

So far it was just a proof of concept, though I'm very glad you like it! I'm gonna get started on Chapter 2 in a few hours, let me know what you think. I'm more than happy to continue this story, I'm really glad that I actually have support!!

I know that you'll like the next chapter then. I plan on making my story a very down to earth one, filled with actual emotion and junk. My writing (In general) is very emotional and has a heavy appeal (or apple) to pathos. My writing will always focus on actual emotion, and how things would really work out. Sorry for the grammar, a few drinks do that.

P.S.
Oh gosh, what did I do with the incorrect linking? Anypony giving advise to how to properly link here, I will listen.

I'm liking the idea. And it's well written! Keep the work up, Masked!

This is really interesting! I can't wait to see where you go with this.

But some of these lyrics I wrote...Can I really sing that and not get into trouble?

Now I really want to know what Trixie wrote. Looking forward to it.

I'm so sorry I took so long publishing this, you guys :fluttercry: I never really was able to be happy with this chapter but I've decided to stop being a perfectonist and just see what my peers and fans thought. Send me a message if you have any really neat ideas for the story or if you want to see a certain character in the next chapter! I'm trying to get the Mane 6 to be in the next one. Wonder what Twilight will think of the lyrics... :trixieshiftright:

You ever think of writing a story where a cutie mark is simply not needed? What I mean is I kinda hate the idea of having a cutie mark. their basically saying you've been "labeled" for life. That it's all set in stone. That your fate and destiny would have always ended up like this. Well I say bull crap. But what if you don't like your talent? What if it represents something you hate? Like being naturally clumsy or lazy or maybe even something evil? Can't you change who you used to be? Do you remember the movie where everyone had timers on their wrists? When their time ran out they die. Imagine a story where a ponie had that for a mark. Where he has only a year to live? Unless he goes and does something about it instead of excepting his fate. Do alternate dimensions count? I'd like to think that other me's would have different talents. What about an artificial talent? Like being turned into a cyborg because of a stupid accident? What if someone stole your body? Would they still have your talent or would the talent change to represent who's really inside your head? Besides I've seen plenty ponies who have the same freaking mark as Doctor Whooves. Even a Mare. Tell me. If Spidey were a pony would he have a talent based on his spider powers or his genius intellect in science? After all they are both genetic (one was just in an accident though). And What about Diamond Tiara? It's the same mark as her name. What does it mean? That she's just naturally a brat or rich? Why should that define who she is? She has just as much potential to change as anyone. Because she could lose all of that in a blink of an eye.

The answer to that question is no. How ponies explain cutie marks though is the real problem. Ponies get their own ideas so bleah
