So guys:

Do you think its possible for a pony to go through life and never find his or her cutie mark?

Also, I noticed something in "The Best Night Ever"... one of the men who Rarity talks into pulling the carriage seems to have horseshoes for a cutie mark. Does that mean his special talent is wearing shoes?

Maybe. Or making/designing shoes.

Isn't it Carmel? (fandom call pony with horse shoes carmel even if Carmel in that scene in Winter Wrap Up have differnd Cutie Mark).

Maybe Horse Shoes Cutie Mark simbolisate luck.

So he's the pony version of Gladstone Gander?

If the horseshoes mean luck, what does the colt with four clovers' cutie mark mean? I guess since Horses eat clover, he could be a check...maybe horseshoes mean blacksmithing? And actually, we never get a really clear look at caramel's cutie mark in winter wrap up - it's covered by the saddlebags. But yeah, it's him.

As for if it's possible to go through life without finding a cutie mark, I don't see why not. After all, do you know exactly what you want to do with your life? I sure as hell don't. We've seen more than a few background ponies without cutie marks, so I don't doubt there are more than a few ponies who just never found out what their 'special talent was'.

I think that stuff with Cutie Marks means that nopony ever end with no meaning in life. Those ponies are more lucky than us.

Wow. That makes me fear for the Cutie Mark Crusaders' future.

Though actually, that's become something of a Headscratcher for me: In "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" the mane cast got their marks pretty much the very minute they found out what they were good at (Pinkie Pie got hers after throwing just one party). Either the background stories were simplifications and its actually not instantaneous, or else the things the Crusaders seem talented in are actually not their cutie marks.

Important thing what missing is realisation. Sure they do stuff what they good at but they ignore that and tried something else. Show Stopers would end Cutie Mark Crusading if Sweetie Bell was main singer, Scootaloo main dancer and Aplle Bloom set/costiumes maker.

I think if it were possible to never get a cutie mark the crusaders would have brought it up by now, something along the lines of "maybe I'm one of those ponies that never gets one." That doesn't really seem to be a concern though, everyone treats it as a matter of when, not if.

I personally think that that slapstick wasn't Looney Tunes enough, though. When that anvil falls on Twilight's head, it just stays there for a second instead of squashing her flat, and she has that look on her face, and, well, I can't look at that picture without seeing her skull cracking open like a tangerine right there.

@Gelzo, last page. Thanks to hearing about that fic where Pinkie gets diabetes, I initially thought you were supposed to avoid all the cupcakes and wondered why no one just took the leftmost column and bottom-most row. Though I suppose, going for the apples could work if you replaced Pinkie Pie with Applejack.

MAST3RLINKX is back!

And she was in a wheelchair when it happened. That was just cruel.

Oh yeah, there was that, too.

@Unobtainable Cheeses: That was really funny. Especially the Off Model reference.

So here you go. It'll only last for a day or two, so download while you can.

Ooh, thanks.

That was pretty awesome! Good job.

It's also now up on Equestria Daily! :D

Now, I'm kind of frightened though, because I'm considering writing a non-comedic fanfiction for this. I dabbled in MK Fanfics back in the day, but I've never written a serious one.

I come bearing gifts!

I can pick out Chell, the male and female versions of Commander Shepard, John Marston, Lara Croft and Gordon Freeman. I can't make out the others.

Last three are supposed to be Solid Snake, Cloud and Uncharted Nathan Drake.

Is the first one JC Denton? Another one of them is Link.

Yeah, forgot about Link and Snake. And Cloud.
