What sort of special talent is carrots :o!?
There are two more where I've thought this as well. The one with the carrots and the one with the cherries. What sort of special talent is carrots :o!?
There are a few Ponies out there whose cutie marks I just..don't understand.
Derpy. Her special talent is..bubbles.
The pen and ink in the front show that I like to write, and the world in the background shows that I like to create my own worlds when I write. My pony name would be Authrite, a portmanteau of author and write.
So go ahead, what's yours?
Start with the basics Landrav; which of the three types of ponies would you be? Earth, Unicorn or Pegusus?Then finding a name is fairly easy. I'm a nighttime person, I love the dark and especially the night skies. My cutie mark fits my name perfectly, A cresent moon with three stars. My pony name: Starmoon Shroud.
Hmmm, with a name like Story Scribbler I'd think your cutie mark would be a quill in a ink well sitting next to a book.Well, the book/pens/dice idea I had earlier kind of encompasses all the ways I do stories: read/write/game. However, a simple mark would be good, too, if it meant easier recognition. I can see how it would be hard to make out a gaming die in a mark that size. The Mane 6 each have a pretty simple mark; RD's is maybe the most complex, but the high contrast of the colors makes it stand out.
Nah, be a unicorn. You already have a handle for the racket when you play tennis that way.
:orhorse:

Just go with something simple. You can see my OC Pony in my signature, named Authrite, has a very simple cutie mark: a pen and ink. You can do something similar.
But I do kind of like that name: Windy Heart. Maybe I'll go pegasus? And my personality really can be "in the clouds" sometimes :D So, what kind of cutie mark would Windy Heart have?
With my deep passion for vintage computers (and computers in general) being what it is, if I had a "pony-sona" its cutie mark would be this:I wouldn't worry about the "No Computers" thing. They have electricity and DJs so there must be computers. How else would Vinyl Scratch lay such awesome beats on the dance floor?

The mighty "C:\>" prompt from the greatest operating system to ever grace the registers of an 8086 microprocessor, MS-DOS! I get warm and fuzzy just thinking about that majestic black screen being projected on a glowing CRT! :)
With that said, when I decided to respond to this topic I didn't realize that along with people showing off their pony-sona's cutie marks that they were also sharing the names of their pony-sonas. It actually took me a couple of weeks of pondering off and on about this thread to come up with my cutie mark, and up until right now I had never considered what my pony's name would be. To keep in the spirit of things, after about a minute-and-a-half of last-minute thinking about it, I have decided that a good name for my pony-sona would be "Blinkenlight." That name works on two levels for me, first of all because the name is computer-related (you can read the Jargon File entry on what "blinkenlights" are here (http://catb.org/jargon/html/B/blinkenlights.html)), and unlike most computer terms it actually sounds like it could be a "My Little Pony" name. So until I come up with something better, Blinkenlight works!
My only problem now is the fact that based on the few episodes of MLP:FIM that I have seen, there seems to be no computing technology in the land of Equestria what-so-ever. There aren't even any electromechanical relays! (The horror!) As a result, in that world most of my talents would be useless! :'( So it looks like I would be the saddest most useless pony in the town of Ponyville, crying myself to sleep at night and the crying myself back awake again the next morning and spending my days halfheartedly pushing beads around on my binary abacus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abacus#Binary_abacus) while waiting for the inventions of electricity, the switch, and the relay to one day finally arrive... *sigh*
...or on second thought I could just spend all of my time in Equestria hitting on Applejack... Yeah, that works! :D

Magic.Its ok TCD, we're all nerds here. PM sent.
No, really.
Unicorns can manipulate things with magic, and the earth ponies are innovative enough that they could probably come up with stuff to harness electricity. (Potato battery, anyone?) The pegasus ponies have shown to control the weather, so lightning could be a startup...boost.
Wow.
Thats really nerdy of me.

How can the ponies have comps, electricity, etc.? How are they going to be able to run and use things without fingers/hands? All they have is hooves. :P

Likely in the mouth. You can see several shots where they write with a pen in their mouths. I think one of the cutest animations is when it's Applebloom doing that.Unless they're a unicorn. That unicorn magic comes in handy for doing just about anything.

Oh, she certainly looks like she's a spitfire!
I forget, you must not be from the south. It's ok, we can't all be perfect. :PYee Haw! Way to tell 'em Narei! (Is a Texan)
Spitfire: Kind hearted underneith a rowdy/rambunctious appearance. Prone to being fiesty, and can be a bit of a hot head at times. Is overall passionate about their feelings. Usually a reference for adolesences and typically females, but can go both genders and adults.
Wow...so after working on that design and the cutie mark, what do I find out?Don't change Sheeta, we at least know you were being original.
In part 2 of Return of Harmony, there's a quick scene with a pink pony floating by doing the classic lip-finger burble that made me laugh hard. Wondering who that pony was, I did some investigating...only to find out that her fanon name is Screw Ball. And what cutie mark does she have on her flank? A screw. And a ball.
>:( #@$!!! >:(
Maybe I should make that my cutie mark...
Agreed. And you could spin this to your favor. You could say you're so awesome, that you single handedly (or would that be hoovedly?) came up with a character that matched on par with both what the writing team and the brony community at large created. :DWow...so after working on that design and the cutie mark, what do I find out?Don't change Sheeta, we at least know you were being original.

Actually the cutie mark is only representative of the pony's special talent. Not their personality, other interests, etc. so it's not that hard to decide if you already have a talent.
Looking some advice on idea or general direction think what kinda of images would be associated with the ability to point out nit pick details of something.
