Shortly before watching this video, i posted on my channel a react to the three new canon music videos for rainbow rocks... and after watching this i realized. SUNSET IS A PRINCESS. this is why 1# she knew about the crown, it was really hers. 2# why she was Celestia's student before twili, and 3# Why her cutie mark is the way it is. I believe her cutie mark is a combination of the sun AND the moon, basically marking sunset as a daughter/sister to the other two Celestia and Luna. this would ALSO explain why in the music video "my past is not today" she has fiery WINGS. I believe that Celestia took sunset's wings away, or that she was never born with them because unlike twili she never finished the spell that starswurled the bearded was working on.

I should become a pony theorist. XDDDD


I believe that, aside from the video info, Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark could literally represent both the sun AND the moon; you know, the evening time where you can sometimes see a little of the sun and moon in the same sky. Her cutie mark does look like a sunset, and not a regular sun like Celestia's! This was proven after her transition form evil to good, just like the battle between the Royal Sisters eons ago. This could possibly mean that, despite what she believes, Sunset Shimmer is on her way to being another Alicorn Princess. Maybe, even the first magical being to exist in another world.

- HA! Try sleeping on that, Brony Notion!


Star in the show usually represents magic, a sun IS a star, thus she is magic based and likely gear to fire style magic. One fan fic guesses that Sunset was meant as Celestia's replacement. The story theorized that with no sign of the Elements awakening Celestia feared that she and Luna would die in a renewed fight so she would need some pony to replace her in her role. Thus Sunset Shimmer. who likely is at the near same power as unicorn Twilight


Perhaps it's that that was her original goal, hence its being on the outside. The Yin Yang-like symbol being, as you said, her transition. That being on the inside because it came out later, and because what people and ponies alike see of her is her past, not how she is inside.


The whole Ying-Yang thing IS present in sunsets cutie mark... The dark red is surrounded by the light orangish color, and vice versa on each side. She's got both and is a balance between the two. And instead of being traditional they went with something deeper. The outside is obviously from how she started good and went to bad, but then on the inside went from bad to good and that due to this experience it balanced her like the ying-yang theory would suggest. It's showing both her transformations and the balance and light she now represents.


What if, since she used to be brat levels of evil, sunset shimmer always thought that she would have as much power as say, Celestia who raises the sun. Now since she wanted to live up to her name, she wanted to be the one to lower the sun to prove her power. When she found out about Luna, she made a plan to be nice to Celestia and destroy her sister and say that Luna had a broken wing and fell to her death. Thus, she thought, Celestia would make her the princess of the night. When Celestia found out about sunset shimmer's plan, she removed her from her studies. And now, for the theory about how sunset shimmer knew about the elements of harmony, she thought she could use them to destroy Luna, forgetting what "harmony" was all about.

but than just my thoughts (AGAIN) :D


With the Sunset Shimmer theory, I can see something like she went from yin to yang kind of like you said. Oh and the communism with Trixie my reaction was this:😂 to infinity!


Perhaps Sunset has talents in utilizing and manipulation of the sun much like her former teacher. This rare gift would certainly lead to Celestia taking a direct interest in her and would also lead to Sunset seeing herself as above other ponies due to it's close link to the princess's power. We saw in the late release Rainbow Rocks music video that Sunset seemed to have a flare of power while standing in the light of the literal sunset. While this could be viewed as symbolic, it could also be a literal showing of her talent and power.


Trenderhoof is an Argyll, which is a well-known knitting pattern derived from the tartan of the Argyll clan in Scotland, and which became fashionable in knitwear throughout Britain and the USA during the first World War.


To me the middle of Sunset's cutie mark represents the sun it self. Let me explain, so just like brony notion said the outside of it is the two colors in the sunset. In some photos of the sunset the sun appears to be a bright red and in others the sun looks to be a deep yellow or a bright orange. So the middle of her cutie mark represents the sun it self. Or at least in my eyes that is.


as for Sunset Shimmer's Cutie Mark there is always the basic idea of her name just being similar to Twilight's as if they were rivals, but I like the idea of the sun representing her initial lust to take Celestia's position. If Sunset was successful, then Celestia's rule over the SUN would SET, and the change in leader would be like the DAWN of a new DAY. Plus sunset often refers to being followed by darkness, but the shimmer could represent the shining light still there (the light of friendship brought out by Twilight). What do you guys think?


I think Cheese's cutiemark means something else. Despite your explanation being acctually quite valid (and probably what was thought of while designing), I have to disagree.

When cheese was a filly, he was an outcast. No one liked him, no one knew he even existed. The Toast represents the 'shell' or the 'armor' that he had around himself or hid in. The burned stripes may be 'mental' scars from bullying issues, from feeling all alone. The broken toast to me looks like a break-through from his old personality and the cheese in between is him, partially holding on to his old personallity, but also letting his new one bloom. Perhaps it could also mean that he's not quite finished with his mental buisness.

In terms of talent tho, I think you're right.


There is a way that the sun on Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark can represent her talent in magic, not just her history as a reformed villain. Astronomical cutiemarks often belong to ponies with magical talents, mainly stars, as they are usually associated with magic. The sun is also a star, one of the most important in fact. It shows that she's not only good at magic, but she is at high levels of magic. "At least that's how I like to see it."


Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark could, as well as that not-ying-yang thing pointed out in the video, represent a flame of hope, even in the darkest times. When she was no longer Celestia's number one student, she still had hope. She went to the human world in <b>hope</b> of... well... something. But whatever.

For sunset shimmer, I think that the sun aspect of her cutie mark represents how in her new life she is the light of friendship that shines in canter lot high.


Actually, Yin and Yang are not evil, and good, as many percieve it to be. It's actually just balance. No evil or good in it. What it was mostly used for in traditional Asian culture (I may not be entirely right, idk ask a professional) is feminine, and masculine. Women are (in their culture at the time) timid, soft, smooth, and quiet. Men are strong, loud, and rough. Two extremes, that need each other to be a whole. Like in the Mulan II song "One alone is not enough, you need both together"


Celestial object marks appear to consistently represent having top-tier magic talents.  Which makes Trixie's mark ironic because even though it looks like a star and a moon, it actually is her cape curved to look like a moon and a wand with a star shaped head.  Her talent is pretending to be awesome.


Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle are pretty much the exact same thing.
Sunset and Twilight are pretty much the same point in the day.
Sparkling and Shimmering are (while notably different) very similar visual effects.
Just thought it was worth pointing out.


I think that the sun on sunset shimmers cutie mark represents brightness. And by that I mean how she will/is shining above others while still being a normal thing that we see.


My theory is that the cutie mark isn't based off personality/special talent, but name.<br>When a pony is born and the parents decide its name, the name determines what cutie mark the pony will have.

I think that sunset shimmer was slated at one point to replace celestia, hence the sun. Its possible that she might eventually be able to take over that job, but she certainly fell from grace.


Well, the brighter side would represent her reformed side and the red side would be her evil side.


I believe that she sort of represents fire. Like..That burning bond between friends?? IDK, just a hunch! xD


okay, Hypotheses on Sunset's Cutiemark

It's not the transition of light and dark, but it's about rebirth in total.
The swirling centre of her cutiemark refers to the inner turmoil. Even if she is reformed, you can see she's constantly in doubt on what to do, no doubt this was also the case before her banishment to the EQG-universe.
Loyalty VS Ambition, if you ask me is what troubles her. And even in Rainbow Rocks this patern grows even further, in the backlash of her fear of what ambition did to her before.
The firey-theme is also remniscent of the phoenix-patern, that was blatently shown in the recent "My Past is not today!"
As for the sun-theme that is also shown in it, is a sense of the celestial potential she has. All great Ponies have these celestial names/themes. Sunset, Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Starlight. It's almost subconscious in how this patern is completely set within that little symbol.
In a sense, I also feel like Sunset is closer to Luna, than Celestia in the sense of them being complementary, in the same way that Celestia and Twilight complement each other better, and that is was this is also what soured the relationship between Celestia and Sunset. Celestia saw her error of a thousand years before happening in front of her eyes and she distanced herself from her student, which caused Sunset's ambition to overtake her loyalty. It was this conflict that led to her banishment to EQG and her Cutiemark in total.

But this is just my viewing of the situation.


Do a vid about how the names of ponies connect to their cutie marks<br>Ex:Diamond tiara, silver spoon, and cheese sandwich. Did their parents ever look in the future and find out what their filly's cutie mark was?

All I know about Sunset Shimmer is that she was a former student of Celestia. And she has a hunger for power in her past,but before she entered the portal to the humans,Celestia tried helping Sunset Shimmer. And her name after she was reborn in elements of insanity is Painset Shimmercakes. She got way powerful after her rebirth......


Trender Hoofs cutie mark is just a design showing that he is into fashion. Even if it isn't in style, if it's good, he likes it.<br>


Sunset's cutie mark is a sun because her talent is magic as well as twilight's,through the series the sky and magic are conected for some reason,everypony with magic as her talent have something related with the sky as cutie mark<br>Thas what i think

Thas what i think


Yeah I think some of this has a mini problem in the show... Princesses.  One big major problem!  Cadence!  And Twilight!  Lol!  I don't really like them.  Oh well.  As in the cutie map. We also have a problem in a canterlot wedding.  Which is...  Secret hidden alicorn!  Why do they hide these alicorns?  Celestia's never mentioned that.  Isn't Celestia suppose to have pure control.  Oh well.  Also the new purple twilight sparkle...  Whom has something to do with the stars like the real one,  why?  Is there an elemental purpose in this? Yep.  Sunset shimmer.  The orange-ish colored UNICORN.  Starlight er Glimmer. New purple-ish pink unicorn...  And Celestia has plans. Which are...  Duh duh duh duh new super hero horses.  Glowing flanks.  Magic.  Celestia's plan is... Oh I gtg sorry to leave you with a cliff hanger.  Oh BTW  I'm not a dude.  I a she


In my mind a cutie make's shape is Determined by both special Talent and name. The cutie mark takes a shape Relative To the talent And name if it can


I think sunset's cutie mark in the present is the set of her evil side and a new beginning at its dawn


Perhaps Sunset Shimmer's cutie Mark is a Sun due to influence from her name. Our name can influence our character subconsciously, so why can't their name influence their cutie mark?


I think sunshetshimers cutie means  "the light of day " or "shine of magic" remember she's a horn horse (can't say name of type of horse) so that what I think


Nice point about Sunset's cutie mark. But to me it feels more natural if Sunset's cutie mark was more about weilding power than overthrowing Celestia as she was Princess C's #1 student before purple power pony became our mane protagonist. Once Sunset realized the mistake she made, her 'power' turned into a great knowledge. Not unlike a princess.<br>She could be the alicorn that was nearly was.

Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark is probably a representation of an ability she found she had when younger (a magic one). Like Twilight, who gained her cutie mark from her great magic ability, she probably performed a great magical task. I say that she almost raised the sun, which is why her cutie mark is a "sunset". She does have much power, almost the same power as an alicorn. She probably would've been the Princess of Friendship had she not done what she done. In Rainbow Rocks, there is a clip on YouTube where she is singing to the sunset and at the end she get's her pony tail back and as well as wings, as Twilight had when she transforms. But Sunset was turned into an alicorn in the pony world. Even with the first movie, she only turned into one because of the powers of the crown. So, in conclusion Sunset's cutie mark probably meant to represent the fact of how much power she has. Really, she's stronger than Twilight (Twilight was only able to defeat her because of the power of friendship). And in addition, Twilight's cutie mark only represents her magical strength. She doesn't realize the magic of friendship until after about a decade of having her cutie mark. So some cutie marks will represent a pony's talent more than their qualities as a pony. <br>That's what I think.

you know.. twilight and sunset are basically the same thing in the sky which means the end of day. sparkle and shimmer are both related to glitter.

twilight=sunset
sparkle=shimmer

twilight sparkle and sunset shimmer both have the same meaning pls do something about this..


on sunset shimmer I belive that the inside of the sun shape is from her turning evil to good


@The Brony Notion  So I may have come late but Sunset Shimmer's cm represents something like a metaphor, setting the sun and shimmering. As far as we've seen of Sunset, she has brought down (set) the "sun" or object, person, etc. She then "shimmers" her point. I guess I'm pertaining more to her name but I have a counter! (Muahahaha!) In her cm, it may look like a Yin Yang, right? It does have the shape but yes, it lacks the two dots symbolizing "The good in every bad and the bad in every good" (forgot the actual phrase) Her cm basically shows that the Yellow (ze good or the right in her view) is over powering the Red (Red being the bad or ze 'other's point of view'). So she is good at justifying. The Sun in her cm (looking at the rays) is equal on both sides (for both colors), 3 1/2 Red on one side, and 3 1/2 Yellow on the other. Though the Yellow does over power the Red in color, it is because the Yellow represents Sunset's point of view (round and about theory, no?). The yellow takes over setting the Red to it's place. Now for the center. Sunset's center (honestly looks like two whales mating... in some weird way... Let's just say it kinda looks like 69 for some reason...) Anyways, Sunset's center IS showing balance. It may look like the red has more in the center but look again, it's just the same amount. And everyone knows that balance shows 'justice' (or at least that's how I know it) and back again, Sunset Shimmer shows talent for being just. She justifies her opinion and point of view (as seen in EG 1 and 2, she shows just on what she wants). If you didn't read any of what I said above, here's a summary: Sunset's cm basically shows justice by setting down the bad and shimmers the good(aka the good in her view). Hope you read all though c: Here's a cookie for you trouble :3


I'm betting Sunset's cutie mark is like Twilight's: magic


what i think about sunsets cuitie mark is that mabe  she shines off on others or shines through a bad situation i know before she had a over ragging attitude but it seems like a night mare moon case. u know, gets jelious over throughs some thing power full and turns into a monster


Trenderhoof's cutie mark is the Argyle pattern. As for Sunset; she wanted to shine. She wanted to stand out and be something big; what's bigger, shinier, and more stand out than the sun itself?


I think twilight and sunset should rule together
BUT
Twilight takes care of the moon Twilight is her name after all
And Sunset should take carrot the sun


Its a sun because she's called SUNset shimmer that's what I think 😊


My opinion is that sunset shimmer was giving this because sun"set", and when the sun sets, out comes the moon, dating when the portal opens up. <br>


love the trikies cutie mark symbol but i have to say on thing about sunset shimmers cutie mark like you said it looks very similar to princess celstias so what if later in the my little pony series she does go back to equertia and after princess cletias resigns or passes away she becomes the new princess or pony that raises the sun instead of clestia  just thought i would put that out there


Brony Notion, there is something that came up recently that I think you should definitely analyze!! It's about Sunset Shimmer in her music video "My Past is Not Today." Is she finally showing her true self? Respond ASAP so we can discuss this.


Each cutie mark shows or means something different. For some their mark is the same as their name. For example Snails cutie mark is a snail and I can't think of anyway someone can have a talent related to snails.  Other cutie marks show what the pony seems to like Pinkie Pie and Rarity are an example of this.  Neither of their cutie marks match their name, Rarity has jewels as a cutie mark and she either adds some kind of jewel to the clothes she makes or wears jewelry when she has on clothes.  Pinky Pie who loves parties has balloons as a cutie mark.  Pinkie most of the time has balloons or a  party cannon with her (sometimes both) when doing something like a party.


I think  that  sunset  shimmer's cutie mark just means like  she was  Celestia's star student and that they just have a strong relationship and maybe sunset shimmer  is just the one who raises  the  sun  in her new world!😄.....But that's just a suggestion .........😄


i think the yingyang sign in sunsets cutiemark represent sunset, not night not day but both


Its red like a setting sun to represent change. How does a day end? It sets and then rises again. Its about transition


So why didn't Sunset get her cutie mark when she converted to good?


I think sunset shimmers cutie mark is metaphorical but it's a sun because it matches her name like most ponies


I DID NOT KNOW THAT CHEESE SANDWICH WAS VOICED BY WEIRD AL OMFG THANK YOU, TIME TO RETURN TO THE FANDOM!!!


sunset shimmer's cutie mark could also mean she was celestia's star student at one point and the sunset colors could represent she stopped being celestia's  student


Sunset Shimmer wanted to over throw Celestia...setting the sun...bruh that makes to much sense


The Brony Notion i think sunset helped celestia rise the moon befor she became evil thefore she got her cutie mark but i also think the red and yellow mean she was not all the way evil she had her good side still so there my idea


What Trixie cutiemark means?<br>-Komunizm hahah to było dobre leci łapka w górę!

What Trixie cutiemark means?
-Komunizm hahah to było dobre leci łapka w górę!


You know that whole sunset shimmer becoming an alicorn thing perhaps she will become the new sun riser after princess celestia and who will raise the moon? Twilight. Twilight means day turning to night after Luna and celestia become to waek or there power fades those two will step in. Just a thought but one I like to think it true.


Wait, hold on a sec. So... You're telling me... Cheese' voice actor is Weird Al? I... I'm so blind... Or deaf. Holy shit. XD


I think on some of the cutie marks hasbro got lazy and just put something random <br>maybe 😅

'Trent is all About that lifestyle.'<br>I tought you would say 'Trent is all About that base' XD

'Trent is all About that lifestyle.'
I tought you would say 'Trent is all About that base' XD


to be fair if i were a pony a god's eye would be my cutie mark coz', im not only good at making god's eyes i where glasses and a god's EYE! plus id probs' be a unicorn and there was this book at comic con showing a unicorn spell for better eye sight, im a unicorn so i would be able to perform that spell. you see cutie marks have such deeper meanings than what you see coz' there a sighn of your destiny not for show.


I just have one random question but why do their names match their cutie marks ,then don't we already know the cutie mark crusaders cutie marks


The sun is a star and stars a symbol of magic there just solved it. :)


Celestiea and sunsetshimmer could be related


When you talked about the sunset shimmer alicorn thing that was her as a Phoenix dumbo so her cutie mark is related to that because Phoenixes are fire re


For sun set the sun mean she fond her inner light at the eqg movie the was a flash of light wich might be the light inside her being set free <br>


Weird Al plays Cheese?

Mind blown.
Goes to eat grilled cheese.


sunset at fist your right but when the sun rises its a new day and reformed in the madder she change through that time that is why her density is the sun


Weird Al shows a certain fondness for cheese in his parodies and songs :D


maybe the producers were running out of cutie mark ideas so they just made a cutie mark off of her name


Celestia (problably sun??) Luna (Moon) Twilight (dawn) sunset (um.. Sunset duh). So maybe Sunset Shimmer will become a princess too! But what about Cadence? Ahduno


Has any one thought that it could be that she met be related to celistia in some way


I want to know what twilight's cutie mark means. I mean she does  have  that  magic  inside  her,  but I never saw any sign of some sort of star there. Reply to my comment. Until then this is the pegasister  notion signing out until the next brony notion video. Hoof bump!


well if Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark represents overthrowing Celestia, and she's good now, I guess she's stuck with it!

Sunset Shimmer: Hi! I'm sunset Shimmer and my special talent is overthrowing the ruler of the land! XD


sometimes i think that by the end of the sires twilight and sunset will be the new celestia and luna <br>think about it sunset is like luna having a troubled past ......

sometimes i think that by the end of the sires twilight and sunset will be the new celestia and luna

Never thought about that, like the idea tho👌🏽


I was completely fine until....

"What does Trixie's cutie mark represent? COMMUNISM."

That got me so bad XD


AHA! You see the bits that ponies use as payment are GOLD not silver!!! Thus it wouldn't make sense for it to represent him being a sales pony


@The Brony Notion<br>I know that this can sound rather farfetched, but could it be possible that Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer have more in common than they realize? I mean, same mentor ( Princess Celestia ), very similar names ( Twilight=Sunset and Sparkle=Shimmer ) and that they both are very skilled at magic. I don't know if there is any other similarities, but if you know of any, feel free to let me know.

I have a comment. I think the sunset shimmer one means Anger and Joy


What does Trixie's cutie mark represent? COMINISM. <b>Dramatic music in the background</b>

What does Trixie's cutie mark represent? COMINISM. *Dramatic music in the background*


Well sunset's Mark is a Sun. The sun rises and sets. It could mean her original act against Celestia (pony Sun) and then her rise against evil later


Sunset shimmers cutie mark represents hope


+The Brony Notion I think sunset shimmer's cutie mark is now brightness. happiness. trying to make others happy.


sunset shimmer is the next princess to riase the sun!!!! The sun: celestia, the moon: luna (next trixie), and the stars: twilight (next starlight glimmer).


Derpys one is happiness bubbles make people happy and so do muffins.....


Sunset's cutie mark is a sun because she will eventually replace Celestia in the show. BAM!


Maybe sunset shimmer will soon be the new ruler of the sun


When you said Trixie cuite mark represented communism correct me if I'm wrong but it would be facism


Why do names of ponies often fit their cutie marks? The parents couldn't have possibly known what cutie marks their children would later get...


You realized it sooner than I did! (Cheese's cutie mark)


Holy shit I didn't know Weird Al was Cheese Sandwich O:


i think sunset shimmer's cutie mark its yellow and red becouse sunset colors and a sun becouse she wanted to be as powerfull as celestia


I never knew  wierd al did mlp OMG MY 2 FAV THINGS TOGETHER OOOOMMMMMMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!


star wars rant is wright in a lot of ways!


3:47 I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I FILLYING FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA KNEW IT


Dude, it's like theres the light side and the dark side (DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN)
 #relatingtoStarWars


i think Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark being the sun is because SUNset Shimmer. And the sun shimmers.... well, to me.


Well, Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark probably looks like that cus she's basically a pyromancer-pony.


this one for sunset shimmer you know the movie kung fu panda 2 they have that same colors as sunset shimmer  does  but i am trying to compare bot of those two characters


Sunset shiners cutie mark is how in the song my past is not today you is fighting her past (the red/evil) and is trying to make herself good (the yellow) that is why she has the cutie mark and the flames represent how they are trying to shine throw as her personality


maby she has some sort of Fire or Sun powers


Also, I may post what I think my cutie mark looks like on G+ yo!<3


The picture is a sun cause she's named sunset, a durrr


I think Sunset Shimmer cutie make mean that she is one of the princess stuedents.


WHY DID YOU NEED TO BRING UP THAT DRESS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FORGET ABOUT IT!! ITS FREAKING BLUE AND BLACK


she wanted to shine brightly, as in be the best and smartest.

she did well in ACADECA. Just that she made a silly mistake


i have a question can u do this on a video plz. why are the ponies name just like there cutie mark but...they earn they cutie and they get there name at birth...


I guess u could say cheese sandwich backstory is cheesy. Wait wut r u doing with that gun?!


Sunset maybe represents a fiery Phoenix... Rebirth...


trixie's cutiemark?
communisim.
told you.... :D


You know with all this talk about cutie marks you should talk about why the elements of harmony are what they are like why apples are honesty or why rainbows are loyalty

@Swizzle Malarkey The EoH weren't those things originally. They transformed to fit their bearers. For example, the element of honesty turned into an apple to fit AJ's cutie mark, same with the others. :)


It's because sunset is a student of princess Celestia and she was good at the beginning at then bad and then back to good and that's the color of her mane yellow and red


What's Trixie's again? (I cant spell it lol!)


Trixie's cutie mark is communism...
BWUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Trixie's cutie mark is communism...
*BWUAHAHAHAHAHA!*


Well it locs like a fenis in side of San so it code mean she is good with fenis :-) out side of that she code have the same takllt as slesti


lol what i thought of trenderhoofs cutiemark. are you ready?

he created argyle.
aren't i genius????


what does trixies cutie mark represent? comunism


I stained they just match their names or personalities


Phoenix, See the Rainbow Rocks ''the past does not define me''.  I relate to Sun Set a lot for my name has Rene' in it meaning Re-born.  Like her I've had a chance to reform myself for the better, when I heard her song it spoke to me.  I know this is somewhat half personal and half fact but it's still glorious in experience n_n;;  Her cutie mark is fire and sun, perhaps she is like Celestia in spreading light after her reformation.


Does anyone else feel like cutie marks go with names more than talents??


How about rainbow dash's cutie mark
Can you please Annalise it and then tell me what you did find out
Thanks


I think that sunset cutie mart is a sun because she name is sunset


There names match with their cutie mark I mean what is that supposed to mean that their destiny realizes on their names


Maybe sunsets cutie mark is a sun because she wants to shine brighter than all, smarter than twilight and celestia and everybody else. What's extremely bright? A sun.


that last 1 sunset and how it has no dot thing maybe it means that she can only be 1 side full blown bad or full good and if u thing bout equestrea girls =she has eavil ententions but then when she is reformed she has a syrus regret bout what here bad side is like

What does Diamond Tiara's Cutie Mark mean? And no, I will NOT accept 'Being a bitch' as an answer ¬¬

Is it something to do with leadership? What are your thoughts @The Brony Notion ???

@Gammeli Theres a saying, "Born with a silver spoon in your mouth" Which means "Spoiled from birth"

@Gammeli I've seen many versions. She's spoilt, she's ritch, she loves antiques, etc. In other words, a better idea when compared to DT ^^

@chibinekogirl101 And what does silver spoons Cutie Mark mean ?! :I


i think y  sunset shimers cutie mark is because HER NAME IS SUN SET SHIMMER and also 1 question why do all six ponies known as Rarity, Twilight , Apple jack and all the other ponies have the name before there cutie mark because they did't know that there cutie mark?

@Raven skymaven I think I know what it represents. BronyNotion's cutie mark is a jaggered music note. He makes a lot of remixes for us to listen to. So, there you go.


well he mite de goob at macin cloow s.  from samantha holman


Okay, after many hours of pondering, I think I finally know what determines a cutie mark. It's not exactly a pony's special talent, nor their destiny, nor a metaphorical representation of either. The shape a cutie mark take is actually the crucial item present in the exact event a pony acknowledges their special talent and its relation to their destiny. Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark is a split cheese sandwich because that is the item that's present when he realizes his special talent is throwing epic parties with his destiny to make ponies happy.


You seem to overlook that many of these cutiemarks overtly reference the experience through which a pony discovers their "special something".  In Cheese Sandwich's back-story, he reveals that eating a grilled cheese at Pinkie's party was his turning point, just as Dash's rain boom was hers and Fluttershy encountered a cloud of pink butterflies.  Of course these cutie marks have symbolic meanings, but they are also memories, images that encapsulate the intense joy, pride or wonder of that moment.

This makes me wonder whether Trender Hoof's mark represents his first "discovery".  After all, plaid (and especially green and orange plaid) is a pattern many people consider ugly.  Yet Trender sees the beauty in it and wears it with pride.

In a similar manner, a unicorn's mark often relates to their specialty magic: Luna raises the moon, Celestia raises the sun, Rarity finds gems, Shining Armor creates a magical shield, etc.  That makes me wonder whether Sunset Shimmer had a specialty magic related to the sun--or maybe she was trying to master Celestia's sun-raising spell.  Of course, the mark operates on other levels as well: as Celestia's student (and potential successor) and as a reference to the balancing act of her dual natures.  I also think it's significant that the mark is asymmetrical and its rays are chaotic, as opposed to Celestia's neat, symmetrical sun.


I believe you covered Cheese and Shill quite thoroughly, so I will limit my input to Sunset Shimmer.

Firstly, Sunset Shimmer did not seek to overthrow Celestia, and likewise her cutie mark isn't symbolic of that. To begin with a mundane analysis, Shimmer is to Twilight Sparkle what Pinkie Pie is to Cheese Sandwich. She is a character very similar to the main character we love and recognize, and there is quite a bit in her personality and cutie mark to support this fact. While Shimmer's colors are hardly similar to Twilight's, both mares' colors are reflective of their names. Think about it: What colors come to mind when you hear the word (or name) "twilight"? Soft, dusky colors, right? Purples, blues, the gentle waning of day to night. Now, what comes to mind when you hear "sunset"? Bright, fiery hues; red, yellow, the last gleaming rays of the sun as it relinquishes the earth to night. Then there is the matter of their names, which are direct synonyms of each other: Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer--"Twilight" is synonymous with "Sunset" just as "Sparkle" is synonymous with "Shimmer." Like mirror reflections, Shimmer and Twilight are basically the same at heart: they were both Celestia's pupil and (even if they didn't know it) studying and being groomed to one day become a princess, they both enjoy learning and books, they both have a natural ability to lead, and they both are quite talented when it comes to magic. As far as the hardworking MLP people are concerned, these characters could potentially be one in the same, with a few personality differences, and either could easily fulfill the role Twilight Sparkle currently fills in the show. The only big difference is that one of them went bad and the other did not, despite the implications that Sparkle very well could have gone the way of Shimmer if she hadn't been sent to Ponyville expressly to "make some friends."

Now, for a proper, if-pastel-ponies-were-real theory, let's get down to the star of the show--the cutie marks. Shimmer's cutie mark is a representation of magic just as much as Twilight's. In one of your previous analyses, you theorized that Twilight's cutie mark could be the universal symbol of Magic, and admittedly that's a pretty good theory. However, magic is something that is unique to each individual, something that comes from within, as Twilight explains on her literal soap box in "Boast Busters." A wholly universal symbol of magic would contradict this, as any given individual would have a different idea of what represents magic. Shimmer's symbol happens to reflect her name, just as Twilight's reflects hers: Sunset Shimmer = a blazing sun, Twilight Sparkle = a sparkling star. The same can be said of anypony's cutie mark: Princess Celestia's magic is that of raising and lowering the sun, and so her mark reflects that; Princess Luna's magic is raising and lowering the moon, also reflected in her mark; Cadance's magic is of love, and so her mark is a heart; Shining Armor's magic is defense, and so his mark is a shield with a star similar to Twilight's mark within it (which may simply be a parallel to help the audience identify him as Twilight's brother, or one of their close relationship and bond); and so on. This theory even applies to pegasus and earth pony cutie marks, for each race has a magic of their own, as best highlighted in "Twilight's Kingdom": Doctor Whooves is the Ponyville timekeeper (and madpony Time Lord with a little blue box, of course), so his mark reflects this as an hourglass; Applejack's magic is the care and production of apples, and so it's shown in her mark; Fluttershy's magic is her eternal kindness, patience, and gentleness, represented by butterflies; Pinkie Pie's is throwing parties and turning someone's "sad frown upside-down", so she has cheerful balloons; etc.

In sum, magic isn't just one thing or only applicable to unicorns and alicorns; every type of pony (every creature, really, if you include Discord, griffons, manticores, chimeras, etc.) has its own special sort of magic, and that magic is further transformed into infinite unique interpretations by its bearers--in the case of ponies, into cutie marks. Sunset Shimmer's blazing yellow and red sun is the representation of her personal, completely unique kind of magic.


I have a theory: Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark looks like Yin and Yang because crossing the mirror was her destiny all along. She was always meant to end up in the Human world. With evil magic present there from Equestria (the three sirens being the only villains we know of so far), the introduction of good magic was the only way for there to finally be balance in a non-magical realm.


I've always seen cutie marks as talents, or something that you get based on what's special about you. That's what I've been trained to think since I started watching the show. I've heard many people that personality is a factor in it, too. However, I kind of see talents as a part of one's personality, so that (Brony) notion comes off as a bit redundant to me.
Also, the dress meme. I've only known about it for a week and it's already irrelevant.
In internet time, a day must equal a month.


I think Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark as long represents his story.
When he was a little foal he was different, geeky, nerdy and just the oddball who was never accepted. But when he finally let loose at Pinkie's party he showed his true colors.
Bread or outside of the sandwich is crispy and has black lines, it shows he is different or idk something, but it opens and reveals gooey cheese, representing his goofy and fun side.
Idk what I'm talkin bout but it was just an observation :\


I think the center of Sunset's cutie mark represents how she travels between worlds. The division line is swirled slightly so I think it represents her change. And going off of the "setting the sun" idea, it still makes sense because even though she doesn't want to replace Celestia, she wants to learn more about friendship which could make her even more on par with Celestia's powers


I don't know why, but i always can't wait till wednesday cause i really like your videos!😊I think you were right with the cutiemafk, especially with trixi's(i know it was like a joke) but have you seen season 5 trailer?I think communism is gonna be a important part there, from the videos i have seen.


I think Sunset is a foil to Twilight, having a similar name. They have a lot in common but in opposite ways. (Watch EqG: RR kitchen scene) Her name is going to have the same effect.


When sunset shimmer got her cutie mark those were her intentions , to overthrow celestia , the system of cutie marks depends on personality meaning even though her personality drasticly changed her cutie mark cant change , kind of like how luna got those dark markings symbolizing she was banished to the moon . Though she is no longer evil she still has the "cutie mark"


Your right about sunsets name and the change from good to bad ( swap ) but what about the shimmer. She might stand out one day or save both of the worlds or become an alicorn.


My best pony is Sunset Shimmer, & I think her cutie mark relates to the fact that she was frustrated that she was out shined by Twilight (the "smaller star"). You've also pointed out some similar traits between the two, & both of their cutie marks are stars. I guess Celestia's cutie mark makes even MORE sense since she outshines a planet (Luna).


3:34 Yes, she wanted to over throw Celly. And she would have, had Twilight not interfered. If Twilight hadn't noticed Sunset stealing the crown, gone through the portal and defeated her, she would have


I think sunset shimmer's cutie mark represent her spirit, she was a bright student, like the sun. also she is a happy personage after she was reformed, and she was the student of celestia. both suns, maybe since we never got to know her parents, she is related to celestia. I think that that would make sense...


When a Sun Sets, it must rise again.I think that Sunset Shimmer wants to shine like a sun, being important and wanted, much like Princess Celestia. She wants to be the sun that shines and guides others, but she got a bit misguided.


I think it would be quite interesting if they did something on sunset's cutie mark in the third movie.


We know that in the episode where Apple bloom gets the cutie pox she was able to do a bunch of different things but she didn't have to unlock them she could instantly do them. So what if you get your cutie mark by doing what you do best. That's a valid explanation right?

So if I was to have a cutie mark I would basically have something that shows I come up with ideas


Maybe Sunny's mark involves how she was a student of Celestia..<br>SUNset Shimmer? The whole yin yang aspect comes from the two worlds. She is basically an altered version of TwiTwi. She was a unicorn, Tia's pupil, magic, didn't know about friendship... IDK. Also, you should do a video,on OC analysis.

her origanal perpose may have been to "set the sun"(evil) but now all she wants is for good to stay good and the sun to come up every morning(since she'd good now)


I kinda thought that Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark represented something about equstira and the human world, that maybe it shows how she chose to leave her old home and now has a new one, and that she is the one that keeps them connected.


I'm not so sure Sunny was out to overthrow Celestia per se. She may have, much like Twilight, had some inferiority issues comparing herself to 'Tia that got out of hand. What better way to prove her "worth" as Celestia's student than to be a political equal, with a whole other world under her Hoof.

Obviously, plans altered as time, and her ego, went on.


to me trying to figure out what a cutie mark means/how one gets it/just all-around what it is, is like teaching elementary schoolers about war yes it's important but it's way too complex or trying to teach pre-schoolers Plato, Socroties, Hobbes, Locke or any type of philosophy or as i like to call it fillyosaphy, i'm writing a kinda sorta not really Fan Fic


The sun is that she is meant to have a future with the sun, like Twilight Sparkle. We only new it as a spark until we saw it looked like the element of magic.


i think sunset shimmer`s cutie mark (the sun part) represents the colour of her personality, hot but can be cooled (evil to good) and when the sun rises, it shines and lights up the world. so my theory is that the sun part of her cutie mark means that she can be cooled down and has a kind heart inside of her! Thats just my theory, (blushing)


I have a theory to what Sunset's cutie mark means. I think that because it's two colors, the red and the yellow both have different meanings. I think that the red part of the sun describes her evil nature, wanting to overthrow Princess Celestia. She wanted to set the sun. The yellow part of the sun describes her good nature, how she wanted to start fresh as a good guy and start over. So, in summary, the red part of the sun was a reference to the sunset (hence her name), and the yellow part was a reference to the sunrise. What do you guys think?


maybe involving following celestia destiny bringing out the light in others it just went about in a different way.<br>celestia is known as a great ruler and that was when she made the mistake of having to fight her sister to keep the peace. maybe

I think I know why most of the ponies have cutie marks in threes. Luna,Celestia and Candace are the 3 princesses that stood up for them. The 1 shape in the cutie marks presents Celestia. The 2 shape in the cutie mark stands for Luna.  The 3 shape in the cutie mark stands for Candace.


Dear The  Brony Notion,
  I think that Sunset's cutie mark is like a sun because maby one day in the future she will become another version of Celestial, but if not it might just have the flames of the Sun because her name has the word sun in it.
  For Trixes cutie mark well her destiny might be to become a magician or sorcerer. Although I think that most likely she's distend to be  a magician because in a mlp cartoon Trixes was bing a magician, and in a episode she's a magician which she named, " The Great And Powerful Trixe".

                                                   My Little PegaSister


What if Sunset's cutie mark was just that she wanted to shine? Like as a magical unicorn? She has a talent for magic and leadership, and she wanted to prove it to the world. Celestia noticed this talent and took her in, hoping to refine and guide that light. But it wasn't until much later that she can properly shine, after finally learning about friendship.


trixie's cutie mark could just mean narcissism, or her "magical" ego


You know I would like to add on to sunset shimmer! Have you noticed it looks a lot like celestia's cutie mark? It kinda looks like the red side was when she wanted to learn the dark magic so a dark side of her destiny. The light side is when she was with Celestia but wasn't into dark magic at the time and after her battle with the all great and power full TRIXIE!!! Erm uhm ugh guck muck fed it to a duck... I mean Twilight and her new found friends that look just like pinkie rainbow dash, applejack, flutters, and rarity. And also has their names... Weird ANYWAY that's my add on to your theory!


I think it's a sun because although she wanted to be a princess, only Celestia was around at the time to set an example. Without the balance of day and night, Sunset wouldn't be able to rule. As only a sun, I think her cutie mark represents the fact that she would never be princess.


Can someone explain to me why everyone's cutiemark matched their name. It's like the show is putting up the idea that ur parents have a big role in who u are now. Though the show goes as far as to say that they literally determine ur Destiny by ur name, I think MLP is trying to show kids just how important their parents are, just so kids can become more grateful to them as they get older


i think sunset cutie mark is what you said, but she used to be celestia's student as well (the sun)


maybe sunsets cutie mark also represents her magic abilities maybe she's a Pyromancer (specializes in fire/heat or something like that)


I sort of see a pattern forming.  Sort of ‘anti-Twilight Sparkle pattern’, if you will.  Fist was Trixie Lulamoon (aka: The Great and Powerful Trixie).  Her cutie mark looks like an arm of the Milky Way with magic wand, showing she was powerful in magic.  Trixie’s colors are a shade lighter (weaker) color than Twilight’s.  An anti-Twilight?
Next Sunset Shimmer.  As a former student Princess Celestia, Sunset Shimmer also was very powerful in magic.  Her cutie mark is the glowing setting sun.  Her colors for red and yellow are very hot to Twilight Sparkle’s purple cool colors.  Once more an anti-Twilight.
Now we have Starlight Glimmer, leader of the equal ponies.    Starlight Glimmer has the same purple colors as Twilight, but a diffident mane (hair) stile.  Again, an anti-Twilight?  I hope you can see where I am going.
Off topic:  Have you notes that all the names are ‘night time’ names: Twilight Sparkle, Trixie Lulamoon, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer (a close to night).


Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer are practically equals.  They were both students taught by Celestia to become a princess.  However Sunset was a bit too passionate and tended to let her emotions get in the way of her thinking.

Her fiery passion is represented by the sun.

Twilight Sparkle, on the other hand, is known for keeping a level head even in the most dire situations.

Her cool, collected demeanor would be represented by the stars, appearing in the cooler night.

Both have a celestial body as their cutie mark because they are both very powerful wielders of magic, also explaining Luna and Celestia's cutie mark.  Even though they are meant to raise the sun and moon, their magic has been known to be far more powerful than just raising the sun and moon.  Cadence does not have a celestial body for a cutie mark because her area of focus is love and not magic in general.


I thought about Cheese's cutie mark and found it looked similar to an accordion!


That ending XD yeah, I think these are true, and I liked the ideas.


Actually she's more evil than good because since red is the evil side well did you not know that there was a little kind of outlining but it went out of the outlining so she's more evil than good did you not notice that?!


I think sunset's cutimark represents her personality


Someponies cutie marks can be outdated. So when she got her cutie mark when she overthrew Celestia, she became good so it's outdated


Maybe Sunset Shimmers cutie mark means to help direct others to the good ( light ) side.


I think Sunset's cutiemark is possibly a sign of being able to shine. I know it sounds stupid, but I think the sun has positives and negatives and we see Sunset Shimmer shine in Positive (Rainbow Rocks) and Negative (Equestria Girls) ways. I think her talent is shining over others in different ways.


I Think We Can Organize Cutie Mark's This Way:
Destiny (Rare)
Talent(Common)
Personality(Hard-To-Find-But-Not-Rare)
Personality And Talent (Common)


it also may represent that she was Princess Celestia`s first pupil and is pretty high with magic, that's my other theory,


Maby the sun shape means that she probably studied with Celestia more with Luna and therefore knows more about the sun. After all; she DID used to be a student.


I honestly have no idea on why her cutie mark looks like that, but I agree with you on her cutie mark.


I don't think there is any significance to the image of a cutie mark. In every cutie Mark story we've seen except for Twilight's and Rainbow Dash's the thing that would end up on the cutie mark was just something they saw just prior to discovering their special talent.

Of course we can't be sure what twilight saw when she was going all God mode and maybe Dash was was imagining herself as a rainbow bolt.

I think the Image on a cutie Mark is just a visual association that pony's are making with the time they discovered their special talent.


I believe their names always have something to do with their cutie mark. How? I have no idea but they always do.


Well, Celestia chose Twilight Sparkle and not Sunset Shimmer, Shimmer became angry and longed for power, and to have power, you technically have to rule over something powerful, and the sun is powerful. So if she gained power over Celestia, she is "setting the sun." I see the same concept with Luna, once again if the moon's in the sky or "gained power over the sun to set causing night," it's has gained power temporarily. Luna wanted power for all eternity causing an endless night until Twilight and her friends came.


It was the yin yang Sind just instead of dots the Suns rays represent the dots of balance


i think sunset shimmer's cutiemark represents that a sunset comes before twilight (in one day), representing that sunset came before twilight as celestia's student, if that makes any sense XD


Getting rid of celestia still could be her go up even if she went to another dimension she was trying to be safe from her


i think the sun in her name shows new life or her refomed self. most cuters see the sun as born in the moring giveing hope life happenies and yes friendship. i think its just a way to say her name and her eloment wich id say is hope.or is slesta's eloment hope


<br>You kind of forgot how Button Mash (I think that's his name) has a D-pad as a cutie mark. Representing his love for video games.


I think sunset ' s cutie mark is explained by the new music video " My past is not today " at the end she flies as a Phoenix so ya ...


Could sun set shiners also mean she has a certain (shine) on ponys/people in both equestria girls they all look at her as a a monster but at the end  credits of the second ones hey she her as a friend and maybe in a third one (  if they have one)  she might have a shine one people as a leader


I think Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark has a sun in it to symbolize magic. She was Celestia's former student after all. We've already seen that the sun, moon, and stars are all closely linked to magic, hence the princesses, starswirl, and even trixie. While the ying-yang in the middle stands for herself turning good, maybe the sun in her cutie mark symbolizes her magic that was once used for evil being turned good?


Here's an off topic theory: Since Twilight from Equestria was sent to look for the preparations for the summer sun celebration festival, and we know equestria girls 3 is confirmed and has something to do with games, will Twilight from the human world look for the preparations for those games and find the mane six that way? After all, it is pretty similar causes. It's just a theory though. A pony theory.


the term 'cheese' is also a reference to a very specific kind of comedy.


Am i the only one who realized that sunset shimmer was supposed to be the next celestia and my still presume the that position after she learns her lesson about love/friendship twilight = stars = night sky = being the next Luna after the two sisters die there needs to be new alicorns to take over the royals that the sisters had


The sun is because hasbro felt like it and sunset twilight starlight
                                                                 Shimmer spakle glimmer

Stop coming up with sylabbles hasbro and cutie map season starter was amazing and i cant wait for smooze to come back from g1


As stated in the mlp short my past is not today she is referring herself as a Phoenix and the sun symbolizes Fire , I agree with ur statement saying that her cutie mark symbolizes good and evil so in conclusion her sign means that she was reborn from evil to good


It to also represent the Rising Sun as her new position in bringing light to the world


Wouldn't changelings technically be alicorns? They have both horns and the wings. So why aren't they considered "true alicorns"? Is it the bloodline and characteristics of the changelings? And is Queen Chrysalis considered a "true alicorn"? Because, according to Ink Rose in a head cannon, Queen Chrysalis was at one point a "true alicorn" before a royal earth pony named Farthing (I think that's his name. I'm not sure. Don't hate) gave her a love potion and she thought he didn't like her appearance he went to listen when Lucinda came bearing urgent news. So she started mixing a bunch of random things trying to look prettier. And I'm pretty sure you know the end result. So, what I'm trying to say is, are changelings actually mutated alicorns?


Something I've wondered is why some ponies' names are their cutie marks. Like Daisy has a daisy cutie mark, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have a diamond tiara and silver spoon cutie mark,etc. Are they're parents psychic to know their cutie mark when they're born or do they change their name when they get their cutie mark? Or is it just pure luck?


I think that Sunset's cutie mark in the middle is the balance of her emotions. I am just giving an idea hope u like it! ;)


I feel like maybe one day sunset shimmer will become Celestias successor and possibly take over the role of raising the sun or possibly becoming the next school principal at cantorlot high.


My opinion is like how there's a balance of the sun and the moon in sunset simmer there's a balance of sunset and simmer in a way. because like u said her cutie mark looks like a ying yang sine but when u said the Orange and yellow sun was the colour of the sun set I think the yellow is the Simmer/her being nice and the Orange means sunset/over taking celestia so in stead of the dots in the ying yang sing showing a balance but the sun around it dose. But that's just my opinion. 😄


Oh, Notion! You cracked me up with that last little tidbit.. 😂


Analyzing Cutie Marks Me Happy!😃
So why not do next....
The best....
Pony in earth...
That everyone Loves...

Cuz Everyone ❤Derpy Hooves!
(But,seriously what does the bubbles mean!?!)


hey maybe it's a sun because her trying to overthough celestia led to her turning good


what about Dr. Whooves? does it mean time traveler? or someone who seen the past, present, furture...


If you look at sunsets cutie mark you can see it's going in a spiral meaning she from bad to good and then in third movie she is probably going to be bad again then good in this continuous cycle


Well the sun can be dangerous but it also brings light


Trixie's cutie mark means tricks obviously:)


i think sunset simmer was  to take over when celestia died or got to weak but she wanted it to happen right away so she got mad and tried to kill celestia so celestia banned he to the human world.<br>


Hello Brony notion! This may seem a bit off topic...but MANE 7 IS CANON. As seen in the rainbow rocks movie. In past MLP shows, there were either 7 or 8 main characters, but G4 was only 6.<br>Now onto the topic, sunset shimmer was a princess but her wings were taken from birth until she proves that she's princess worthy. It's my theory....I wrote too much. :)

Weird Al played Cheese Sandwich?!<br>ERMAGERD :0

Weird Al played Cheese Sandwich?!

she has the word sun in her name SUNset shimmer and also the sun shimmers<br>


In both movies she wants to RISE UP. First to take over and rise as a ruler, and secondly to rise up as a true friend and help save everyone. And what does the sun do? Rise


I think Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark is a lot like Princess Celestia's considering the shape, the colors are mixed sort of like an actual sunset, with red, orange, and yellow, this probably has something to do with her name....


Also sunset's cutie mark is a sign she was with Celestia!


What does Trixie's cutie mark represent? COMINESIM


i found tat most ponies names match either there what they do or there cutie  mark take Luna for an example her cutie mark is a moon and Luna means moon in spanish


What does Trixie's cutie mark represent? Communism. 😂👏


Pause at 1:27 and look at the unicorn in the background.

I Just get shocked when i see a pony from the blind bags in the actual show or animations


I Have A theory on Sunset's cutie mark. Red Is A Colour in a sunset. Also is yellow. Also Red Could of explained her bad side at first,And Yellow could mean her new and good side. Don't You Think?


haha Trixie a comi good one but can you really analysis her cutie mark?


Names can have a link to the cutie mark. Sunsets cutie mark is a sun, like in SUNset. In Raititys, a diamond (presuming it's a diamond) is rare. Another thought tho!


speaking of that sunset shimmers cutie mark and trixies have a   connection sunsets is a sun and the magic form the wand on trixies cutie mark makes a crecent like a moon so there both evil and celestia and luna are good so trixie and sunset shimmers cutie mark are like luna=as and celestia s so they would be like the evil versions of luna and celestia


I think it stands for in the future she go's back to equestria and stands in celestias place rising the sun😃🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄


Sunset Shimmer could be related with Princess Celestia? I don't know! ^ ^


the sun means freedom.cause she was trapped when she was evil but when she turned good she was finally free.


Maby it has something to do when she was a student to Celestia


i was thing that Sunset Shimmer's cutey mark meant that she will become a princess IF she goes back to Equestria and she will make sunsets. thats my theory.


this may ruin most theories but maybe its just a coincident


Well sunsetshimmer had a long ago bond and in the movie rainbow rocks she remebers she had a book to keep in contact with princess celestia my theory is that somewere in the future sunset shimer will come back to the pony world and become celestias student again.


I think that the reason there IS A sun in sunset shimmers cutie mark is beacouse since she is in a new world were ceplestia isn't inncontroll someone mighr have controlled? Anyways celestial in equestrian has the strongest powrfullest magic making the ability for her to raise and set the sun and when celestial goes to "earth" she has no magic and the strongest magiculest persons there is sunset shimmer (not including twilight when she goes there) but anyway the suns both look the same so I'm thinking that not only is a sun bright but it's the strongest powefull thing there is so is indicating that celestial might be the strongest in equesrria but in earth sunset shimmer is.<br>Idk what I wrote but this is MY opinion

the sun symbol is also known as the symbol of hope and faith and whit the red line in the rainbow maybe the 7th element? What do you think?


sunset shimmers cutie mark can mean the fires of friendship. let me explain the red and yellow are the main colors in fire and fire can be good and can be bad. the good in fire can be that the fire can warm you and light the way. what is bad in fire is that it can kill you my point is that you need to light the way to someone who is new to the hole friendship thing and you need to show the right way in friendship. and when sunset shimmer turned into a shedimen (her words not mine) she tried to kill the ponies of equestria  so ya there you have it my little article on sunset shimmers cutie mark. hope you enjoyed. :)


plz do why luna enters dreams and celestia dosent also did she enter dreams when she was on the moon ?


OMG I DID NOT KNOW CHEESE SANDWICH WAS PLAYED BY WEIRD AL!


Dear Brony Notion I would really like if you did a video of why princess Luna has that black stain on her flank I'm really curious about it


Trender hoof's cutie mark is the same design on twighlight's boots
In equestria girls. To: the BRONY notion


Maybe Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark is her special talent, making the sun set and it shimmers. Maybe she helped Celestia make the sun set until she has gone bad. This may be possible but we have to find out. So yep. Dont coommentright.


Ok Twilight is already the princess of Friendship so she isn't going to replace Luna. Cadence is the princess of the cristal empire replacing king sombra and the king/queen/princess. I think you people are correct about SS is the going to replace Celestia her cutie mark has to do with the sun thus telling us her destiny.


Why do I agree that trixie's cutie mark resembles communism<br>


guess cutie marks expresses more towards wht they wanna do rather than destiny?


Sunset shimmers cutie mark is the sun because she is bright (now) and the sun is bright


The reason sunset shimmer's cutie mark is a sun is most likely because she studied under princess celestial. This remains part of her, so that a pony's destiny still is affected by ones past actions.


Analyze other ponies names also. Like cheese sandwich. Pinkie pies name is much like Cheeses. Pies are fun and pink is a bright and silly color. And could names be considered destiny too? NO. The writers chose to have the names like that. THE WRITERS! NEVER FORGET THE WRITERS!


I think your view on sunset's cm was all wrong, the stuff you described was circumstantial and not really talent... I think maybe it has something to do with her hair? I dunno, seems like it requires skill to mane-tain (haha) that head piece.


Sunset and a sunrise coloring it is kind of like the Yin Yang symbol


So what about your cutie mark Notion? What does it represent?


Sunset shimmer cutie mark means that to they work your goals and over meaning is about her cutie mark is her element. Sunset shimmer element is hope.


Next week do a video of maybe pinky pie was adopted <br>


I think that sunset simmer cm is a sun becuse she can light up a room by being bad or good ether by making people run away or to her for help


I think weird all is pretty brave to be a voice actor for mlp.since he's not a brony.Thou I think he just wanted to try something weird as he is


Maybe sunset hasn't for filled her destiny yet.


Well this may sound stupid but I believe it's just a sun because her name... I mean everypony almost everypony has a cutie mark to represent their name even though there name was made before there cutie mark... I think I am on to something with this...


Maybe she has a destiny with Princess Celestia or something.


i think its because he is so popular. Why Rarity loves him? He is so popular designer she loves not him maybe his popularity? or his work?  ok about his cutie mark. his cutie mark shoes some kind of material. so his cutie mark is some kind of popular material he designed?


can you make a video abou babs seed and scootaloo? i just think they are related.


Sunset shimmers looks like Princess Celestias cutie mark


I know what is sunset shimmer cutie mark means it means that you have to that your best at same thing you are good at and it mean her element of harmony Hope not the over two you had in your over videos Hope is her cutie mark means Hope and they your best with some thing.

Sunset WOULDN'T have started off as a villain if Celestia had train her better. When Sunset understand friendship that much, she WOULD have been promoted to alicorn.


Well princess celestias cutie mark is also a sun and she rules equestria so maybe sunset shimmer still wants and always will want to rule over equestria?


can you do part 4 granny smith cutie mark


all I have to say is listen to the names TwighlightSparkle and SunsetShimer


The dress is black and blue! Really... There's a video saying it is and shows the original dress without the bright light on it !!!!


well, I wouldn't disagree with you on those


I SEE THE DRESS AS WHITE AND GOLD ANYBODY ELSE?!!!


What dose trixies cutie mark represent COMMUNISM


Trixies Cutiemark as a symbol of communism? Nice Try!


If there is a copy of every pony In the human world what happened to sunset shimmer's copy


Sunset shimmers cutie mark looks like princes celestieas cuti mark maybe sunset was her student before because she was soposto turn into a alicorn not twilight and maybe she is related to princes celestia.


Lol! What does Trixie's cutie mark represent.... Communism! Lolololololol 😅😅😅😅😅


This is just my theory maybe sunset was suppose to be a princess but her greed drove her away from being a princess bronie nation do a theory about this pls and bye!


Were did the elements of harmony come from ?

They came from the tree of harmony. However, a good question would be how was the tree of harmony created?


May u do a video on pony age because I say this I was watching mlp this morning the one were gilda the Griffin comes to town fluttershy talks to pinkie durring the party and fluttershy say im 1year older then u


Me and my sister used to call sunsetshimer sunSHITshimer


bronie notion you always get me thinking and wondering anything you are talking about :D /) brohoof?


I SEE THE DRESS BLACK AND PURPLE~ISH BLUE


Communism? This doesn't make any sense!

.
.
.
But, after all...
What fun is there in making sense?


PLSSS REPLY TO THIS PLSSSSSSSS oh yea and btw sunset shimmers cutie mark means that she is like twilights sister if u think about it if u don't get it  I will explain its kinda confusing tho


What if discord is star swirl the bearded under a curse


It is Wednesday POST A VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


haha i love reporting ads that pop up as inappropriate even if they're not


According to references on the subject, Sunset Shimmer was to be one of Celestia's pupils along side Twilight Sparkle. She even showed a greater immediate aptitude than TS. However she abused her skills and powers, and Celestia all but banished her.

More than anything in my mind, and I'm not a brony, I haven't even watched a whole episode fo MLP yet, Sunset Shimmer is a diametric opposite of Twilight Sparkle, particularly in temperament. SS would have been almost as bad as Nightmare Moon.  Celestia simply stopped SS from becoming a fiend.

It would be interesting if Celestia had to fess up to a serious error in judgement, like teaching the wrong person too much.


bro notino the diamon kiuty mark mis hi is gort of tecing


UUUUGH PUNY DRESS COVER HULK INSTAGRAM PAGES! HULK NO LIKE!!!


I still don't understand sunset shimmers past


Hmm, they have a point; Twilight's CM is stars and SS's is the sun, maybe they eventually replace Luna and Tia. Also, Twilight's CM represents bringing ppl together with the stars around the larger one, while SS's represents harmonizing them all; as she did in the second movie, maybe literally translating to "harmony in the fire". Her CM's colors also say this; the inner colors of her CM tell us that the fire part represents "good" and "bad" rageing. Whether her harmonizing factor is solely in reference to friendship or also the two worlds, we dont know.


@The Brony Notion  Sunsets cutiemark has a little bit of each 'crossing over' into the other side. Maybe it's instead of the dots, representing her changes from evil to good and vice versa. <br>Therefore, it would represent her destiny, wouldn't it?

Here's my theory:
Sunset is when there's a rise of sunlight and the day beginning, while Twilight is the end of the day and night is coming. So, what I'm getting from her is that she is supposed to be the opposite of Twi....at least in essence. They are in fact the same, as they are both leaders of their own group (one in EQG, and one in MLP) and both represent the 'magic' of friendship in their world.
So, Twi's mark represents Magic while Sunset's represents Friendship.

I do think the writers were kind of going for 'they are the same but different' approach for Sunset and Twi in EQG. But that's just what I think. ^u^'


I loved, loved, loved the part at the end! XD You always make me laugh Mr. Notion.<br>What about a cutie mark like Teddie Safari's? Does she just really, really like teddie bears so that's what sets her apart? Wait a second...Teddie bears are named after Theodore Roosevelt, a human, so why are they called teddies in Equestria too? Is there a pony equivalent of him? Who knows? I sure don't. =T

For Sunset's cutie mark I always believed that it symbolized her replacing Celestia for like you point  out it's in her name "Sunset"." Though since Twilight seems to be taking that position in Equestria as the princess of friendship I believe that this represents her taking the role of human Celestia. Her time was finished in Equestria you can say the sun sets there. Then rises in the human world as a brand new day a brand new life what do you think Brony Notion


"I think her special talent has to do with accomplishing and exceeding her goals. Goals are signified by the sun, and whenever someone meets a goal that goal has past. In essence, it falls like the setting of the sun. There’s more. Half of the cutie mark is gold, to represent accomplishing the task. Gold metals and what not. The other half is red to represent exceeding the task, which has to do with her ambition. A red hot burning ambition."


Always looking forward to your videos!! Great analysis!


What I've been noticing is a lot of their cutie marks are a representation of their names.... does names their parents give them influence what they become in the future? Do they find their destiny by following their names? This is apparent in the sidecharacters, the princesses and the mane six, been but I don't claim it holds to all ponies, just most of the general population. Just a thought and I am thoroughly enjoying your theories.  Have a good day.


Another name for Sun set could be Twilight. ;) Or a time between sunshine and moon time ;) to complete the day and keep the harmony. :). Love you Notion ♡ angie


Well, remember Flutterbat's cutie mark? it changed from butterflies to bats. and we all can't forget Magical Mystery Cure. it show that two ponies can have the same cutie mark. I think Sunset Shimmer doesn't have her right cutie mark. although she is being respected in a good way now, her letter to twilight at the End of Rainbow Rocks just doesn't fit. I think Sunset hasn't forgiven herself yet. During the ending song of the credits she was a little off beat.


My thoughts about Sunset cutie mark.
That's rather brilliant for her character. Yin and Yang is not really about opposing forces, but balance through differences yet similarities. She is also the Yang to Twilights Yin, yet they both were students under celestia (yin and yang in the sun cutie mark). Two students of the Princess of the sun finding balance in their differences and similarities. Her cutie Mark painted the picture that Twilight and Sunset could vary well be the sucessors of Celestia and Luna. Dude... Head canon forming...

Awesome video as always! I really enjoyed it!


Do you think its possible for a cutie mark to change overtime? Like, for someone like Sunset, who was bad but reformed. I doubt her's will change, but what do you think about the idea? For instance, if someone changed drastically because of an outside influence. Or something like that. I'm not great at explaining things, so I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. XD


The sun represents her trying to shine when her huge reputation (being evil) was setting her back. Hence the color red, a red giant.


I've been waiting for this all day<br>Also when we got to the "COMMUNISM" part I'm thinking "Wow. THAT escalated quickly"

Also when we got to the "COMMUNISM" part I'm thinking "Wow. THAT escalated quickly"


I had a thought of sunset's cutie mark somehow with an connection to twilight's based off the names. Any ideas?


I laughed pretty hard at the end great video :)


Some really interesting points Brony Notion, the creators really put alot of effort into adding puns and social factors into the show social groups like hipsters which are one of the main groups of bronys that watch the show Trenderhoof was a response to that hence his name trend, Shill is as his name suggests,  falsely tried to trick pony's into buying a falsely advertised product to make money in a corrupt way, Cheese Sandwich is a personal tribute to Al Yankovic, ( he is a brony by the way ;)  and as for Sunset Shimmer the Ying and Yang represent balance, femininity and masculinity she unbalanced and rebalanced herself, showed a feminine caring side and a harsh masculine dominate side the fire being her determination into whatever she does.


Actually cheese (the food) frightens me more than bring me joy. I know it sounds weird, but I'm highly alergic for it


My theory is that Celestial and possibly Luna though we never see it, have been training  there own replacements. The Alicors became mortal after Luna was banished or maybe were mortal the whole time and have been training replacenents. The sun could be a symbols of leadership and maybe she'll have to return to ewuestria or maybe she'll get to lead in the human world. She was added to the rainbow of friendship after all and just once I want to see an enemy need twelve or more ponies to attack it at once with a combined multi powered beam. Jut to have two of each of the six and sunset and two flashes and doubles of all the princesses and daring do and etc all fighting one massive enemy at once.


I would guess that, as a colt, Trenderhoof likely wrote his first article about the Argyle pattern. His description caused the pattern to become popular, and earned him his cutie mark in the form of an Argyle pattern on his flank.
Silver Shill likely discovered his talent in playing the customer that helps sell products to real customers and earned a few silver coins along with his silver coins cutie mark (It is silver coins, as there is nothing connecting them together.
I mostly agree on Cheese sandwich, though it is worth noting how much Cheese informs his party style.
In my view, Cutie Marks show the beginning, and then show the path, as opposed to showing the end point. So the idea that Sunset Shimmer's Mark somehow alluded to her eventual change from evil to good is kind of a stretch for me. The only instance where the Cutie Mark is shown to predict the future is Twilight Sparkle herself, unless the Star of the Element of Magic is a symbol of magic well known in Equestria.


though true that the yin-yang is a buddhist symbol to reprisent balance one without the dots is also a buddhist symbol. it means the eternal struggle of dark and light. always chasing one another. rising and setting like the sun and moon


My idea is that cutie marks are in fact meaningless without context.  Pinkie Pie, for example has a cutie mark that represents parties, but it could equally represent her being a baloonist.  Rarity's diamonds could represent a skill at mining, but in context it reflects her artistic nature. It's a special symbol that is tied to the moment that the pony discovered his/her talent. That explains Cheese's sandwhich cutie mark, which is shown to be representative of a moment when Cheese discovered that he wanted to make people happy.

  As for Sunset's cutie mark, I remind you Notion that her initial goal was to be Celestia's faithful student and become an alicorn, the same path Twilight Sparkle actually ended up following. I imagine at that point that Sunset had a deep respect for Celestia. Combined with the above I imagine that Sunset got her cutie mark when Celestia recognized her talents. Perhaps she created a spell to honor Princess Celestia and it impressed the princess enough for her to make Sunset her student.


I'd say the sun is more tha she was destined to become Celestias student, less that she was going to overthrow her.


If you look at Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark, you'll notice it kinda looks like Twilight's, especially in the fact that both Twilight's star and Sunset's sun have the same number of branches as the element of magic, which makes sense since Celestia wanted to find the new bearer of the elements before Nightmare Moon was released.
Looking at it this way, Sunset's talent seems pretty obvious : magic. But, unlike Twilight who has five stars around her cutie mark representing the elements of harmony, Sunset's sun is alone.
Her talent may be magic, but she will never unite the elements.

The remaining point could be... Er... I don't know. Maybe a reference to something ? Wait...
8-6 = 2
There is one point on the star that's left.
2+1 = 3
Hal Life... I mean, TF3 confirmed ! Ouo dies

Hal Life... I mean, TF3 confirmed ! Ouo *dies*

No, Twilight's center star has 6 points and SS's has 8. Though behind that star is another white 6 pointed star; EQG wasnt planned from the beginning but it is a very smart reference. If her CM is a reflection of Twilight's in that the spikes represent ppl, then who does the remaining point belong to? O-O Dont tell me theyr finally including Spike in the main group. Woot. -_- Or it could belong to the second Twilight.


Could you of mentioned anything about the burn't part of the Bred In Cheese Sandwich? Plus, if it were in a sun becasue she wanted to overthrow Celestia,then how could she of gotten it as a CHILD? Theres no way a child would ever think of overthrowing the Ruler of the land. Unless for some reason she got her Cutiemark when she was about a teenager...


Well Sunset Shimmer was previously a student of Princess Celestia and she most likely looked up to her as a role model. I think her cutie mark is shaped like a sun based on her appreciation for Celestia when she was a student. As you pointed out though her cutie mark might represent her evil and good side so maybe her cutie mark was foreshadowing her future path. Also, Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark kind of looks like Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark, which as you have pointed out symbolizes magic basically. So these are just my own thoughts but what do you think about them?


For the first cutie mark: it's modern art, don't question it it's very fucked up

The dress is baby blue and brown


Notion....Shill's cutie mark is not a pair of glasses -.-

the writers gave Sunset her name to tie in with the same theme as Celestia (Sun), Luna (Moon), and Twilight (a moment between Day and Night, much like Sunset is).


That's a good theory about Trixie's cutiemark!<br>>:D

That's a good theory about Trixie's cutiemark!
>:D


Instead of it representing a yin yang symbol, what if it represents her role in both the human world and equstria? Maybe she was told stories of the human world by Celestia, as a filly? And it would be in the shape of a Sun because Celestia was a major influence throughout her life. However, as she reached her teens, she realized how strong alicorn magic was and wanted to be stronger. When Celestia turned her down, she ran to the human world.


The design is Argyle. Once upon a time it was a fashion TREND hence, Trender Hoof


What if its not Yin and Yang, what if its Equestria and the human world. Yin Yang represents harmony so somehow she will bring that to them. Thats why Celestia had two apprentices at once; she didnt think one would fall through, she knew from her preminitions that SS would be the princess of another world. That or Tia tried making a clone to replace herself; thus the double sun butt. Would explain why theres no human SS double.


I wonder if something may happen to celestia (and maybe luna to) and sunset may have to take the reigns for a while.


@The Brony Notion your voice is cuteeeee,! Can I be included in a video


Yin and yarns are personality aspects not good and evil


i think that sunset simmer cute mark means

form good to evil and later form evil to good.
reason

she was good in the story on celestia school magic.
but twilight name here place over.

or fast said she become jealous on twilight and go to the protal. and that moment is she evil.
this is the outside of the mark

in the movies she become good.
this is the inside mark.

the outside is here hate (or better said the true persoon is in the inside en the outside is what the fake is


Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark... just plain weird :D


What does Trixie's cutie mark represent?

COMMUNISM

*walks away


Is there such think as a silver coin? I mean bit? So I think silver shill's cutie mark is glasses.


"What does Trixie's cutiemark represent? Communism."

*snorts*

"What does Trixie's cutiemark represent? Communism."

I keep hearing that term hipster, in Youtube and social networks. But I don't know what it means


What IS a hipster?

What MLP/ Star Wars rant are we talking about here? RANT ALERT!!!: Does it involve black and white morality? If that's the case, I hate black and white morality! It's this kind of theme in the show that makes me despise characters like Tirek, not because he's evil but because he's two-dimensional.


I just watched an video from Ink Rosé when she say that earthponys has magic. There she say that pinkie got her mental powers from the sonic rainboom. I like that becouse if you think about it pinkie was the only one that the rainboom hit. All the others just saw it hit other things execpt from twilight and AJ twilight did not even saw it and AJ just saw the rainbow from rainbow dash. Don't this make sence why pinkie is psycic?<br>Sorry about the spelling but I'm just 11 and a half and from sweden.

Can you do a video About why villians like chrysalis,... Don't have cutiemarks


I think it's Princess Philistia cutie mark


Why is Twilight's cutie mark are star? Wait...the sun is a star so... Uh... Stars are magical? Trixie's magic star wand?... Eh. (Explanation)


Sunset's Cutie mark also reminds me of this: http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/archive/e/e1/20121231002545!Celestia_and_Luna_form_a_Yin_and_Yang-like_symbol_S1E01.png

Oh yeah! The wings really do make it look like her cutie mark, so does that mean that maybe Sunset will take over for Celestia and Luna if she comes back? Though I guess she'd have to become a princess first, but I don't think that being an Alicorn should be required to be ruler.


I think that at 2:00 that looks like sponge bob. LOL


I think that why Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark is a sun is not because she wanted to overthrow  Celestia, but because she used to be Celestia's protégé. While this would make more sense with Twilight, her talent was magic, and possessed the Element of Magic. Also, the words "sunset" and "twilight" are synonyms. They are both talking about the sun setting or falling. Maybe when Celestia dies, Sunset will possibly return to Equestria  and rule by Twilight's side. However, I don't think Celestia will die anytime soon and since Sunset is not immortal, the only way for her to return to Equestria when Celestia dies would be for her to become immortal, possibly an alicorn?


The dress is red and yellow.
It's on fire.
I lit it on fire.
Now hush.

If u study my own cutie mark it two test tube fill with chemicals this it showing I good at science my pasing for science but it also show that my way of reaction to unknown susution cause I react act very oddly when some thing new around  so a unknown reacting will take place like how two different chemicals with react together the multiply  ways to what can happen


Please do not do that again that was funny but don't think communism back I really don't like that idea


your spossed to say Sunset shimmers name like this sun-set-shimmer don't make fun of me if I spell stuff wrong cause I'm 7 in REAL LIFE  OK people dudur


sunset and twilight are to be the rulers of equstia so if anything happens to tia and luna twilight is day and sunset is night, plus sunset's and luna's  past are the the same showng that sunset is like a younger luna.

Chris Vairamon yeah but give the title of Princess of the Night to an Alicorn who unlocked a fire-based transformation during season 2 is just a bit weird.

You're right that Sunset & Twilight will be new rulers of Equestria, but you're wrong about one thing: Sunset is the day & Twilight is the night. Watch "Princess sunset shimmer | MLP: FIM theories" and you'll see for yourself!

spikesenglishrose Sunset is Day and Twilight is Night...OK!!!!!!


Well, I started to believe that Alicorns are not immortal and only live for a really long time. So I thought that Twilight and Sunset were to be the new princesses that be setting and raising the sun and moon. But with Starlight now too, I am not longer sure. All  three of them have to do with while and after the sun sets. Non of them would be raising the sun in any kind of way then, right? Twilight Sparkle would of course create, well, a twilight. Letting the sun rest in the horizon for a longer time than Celestia. Sunset Shimmer would be like Twilight Sparkle and well - Let the sun rest longer than Celestia I guess. Starlight Glimmer would raise the moon. But both Twilight and Sunset wouldn't raise the sun, right? Since both don't have anything to do with raising the sun.

Sunset learned a lot in magic from Celestia. Therefore, she's capable of manipulating the sun!


Hi No One Is Gonna See This Comentteee?It l Get Losst


Wuuut if sunset shimmer thinks she is good now but when she gets older She has better control over her powers and comes over a dark side and realizes her power is much more powerful and uses it against celestia and Luna and steals their powers making her self am alicorn and twilight comes and try’s to stop her but is defeated and the main six head to the crystal empire warn cadence and shining armor they head to the changing hive ( that has thorax as leader) Tell then wut has happened then thorax and half the hive, cadence shining armor, and the main six battle her defeating her and giving Luna celeastia there power and banishing her to another dimension wee she will do no harm......... the end that’s my fan fic and theory


Since that guy has a weird cutie mark I figured out why he has that cutie mark.  Well when he was little he's made some clothings do do with wiggly lines then when he wore those. Wiggly lines his cutie mark appeared. Then there's cheese sandwich he got HIC cutie mark from his name his mom named him and because he played the acordian as well. Then there's sunset shimmer she was princess celestia student so then one day she was looking at the sunset those colors represent her. The red represents evil and the yellow represtents good. And because of her name. So that's my analyzation on the cutie marks.


silver shows cutie mark is coins, not glasses or both.they are not connected
