Are any of the CMC good at art? I can't remember if they've already tried it.

Apple Bloom is good at design in general. Not sure about straight art, though they did make a pretty sweet giant heart for Cheeriliee.

Applebloom probably has latent crafting talent. She rebuilds the CMC clubhouse, and even the Cutie Pox generates the talent of sculpting for her. I have a minor wild mass guess that Cutie Pox taps into your potential talents to generate cutie marks.

That...does not explain the tornado cutie mark.

Actually, I don't think there's any good explanation for that. Unless you're a pegasus with the special talent of making tornadoes.

@Ed: In Season one, Applebloom DOES spin around quite a bit in Call of the Cutie :V

Maybe there's a pegsus somewhere in the Apple family tree. Or the Cutie Pox is just random.

Also, I'm going to have fun with that prompt. (Here's last night's submission)

@Ace: Still, that's no basis for a tornado mark. tongue

I have seen a few gifs of her spinning looking for her cutie mark. I like to thing she has art in general.

@Ed: The Cutie Pox might reaching for talents to generate from :V Also, THIS:

(Warning, may contain Dead or Alive's famous song.)

Now watching: Pony Fantasy VI. Y'know, that Thamasa scene where Sweetie gets trapped in the burning house full of Fire Rods is more Adult Fear than almost anything else that pops up in the games (besides Twi's predicament).

@ed We've totally seen some pegasus with a tornado cutie mark before. Though that does seem to imply that Cutie Pox transcends racial barriers when forcing supernatural talents upon ponies. What if AB had ended up with a magic-based cutie mark in that episode? She probably would have destroyed the town.

Scoots is a pretty good spinner. She could be a b-boy or something.

@Lurker: It makes one wonder how normally race-unique cutie marks might work when put on ponies who usually won't get them.

@Ace In the context of Cutie Pox, or in general?

@Lurker: In general. What would a Unicorn do with a cutie mark of an impure silicate with a beryl geode inside? What kind of talent would an Earth pony with a double-barred spiral galaxy cutie mark have? How about the Pegasus with a cutie mark of a spider?

Things I'd like to see now: A Pegasus who can cause earthquakes.

Probably part earth pony. Does earthquakes by flying high up into the air, divebombing, and slamming into the ground harder than Rainbow Dash Sonic Rain-nuking into a broken barn.

[up]That could be Pound Cake's special talent!

Still not sure how RD survived that.

@Ace Well, there's nothing to stop an Earth Pony or Pegasus from studying magic (or astronomy, as star marks are easily able to be interpreted in multiple ways), like Sereg's Star Swirl. And Rarity deals with gems, so geological elements aren't restricted to just Earth Ponies. The marks are gained according to the pony's abilities and interests, so whatever mark they get means something to them deep down, and they decide what it is.

RD is part earth pony. She has super-unhurtability.

Do you mean a seamstress or an actual seamstress seamstress?

I think Ponies in general are nigh invincible.

They're really hard to hurt, probably because their ancestors had to survive a lot of megafauna and supervillains.
