Sunset shimmer's cutie make has a little red part poking out. Could it mean that it's the feathers of a Phoenix as she " rises from the ash " from bad to good?

<b>facepalm</b> THEN IT WOULD REPRESENT THAT BY LOOKING LIKE IT

*facepalm* THEN IT WOULD REPRESENT THAT BY LOOKING LIKE IT

That’s a really good point I think it is that

@amulya reddy True, but would Sun set have a similar cutie mark as Luna?

I think tricked cm is being illusional, (if that's a word) so she truly IS a magician.

@Shadow Lover no she probably had a bad side all along, but had a illusion of goodness before.

You know your actually right but my theory is that the cutie mark is based on their name

𝚂𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚗_𝚝𝚑𝚎_𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚗

mabey it represents that demon she beecame sort of like the evil part of her a bit like luna

But she probably has her cutie mark since she was a filly, so she went from good to bad to..good again?

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. But the little red part poking out is a phoenix feather because "My Past is Not Today". Sunset DEFINITELY have some sort of phoenix power, thus making her more powerful than Twilight. Evidence: Princess sunset shimmer | MLP: FIM theories!

I think that sunset's cutie mark means that she doesn't need alicorn magic to become one, as she became a "phoenix alicorn(something)" during a sunset. Also I see a particular coincidence with twilight, sunset and starlight(I think she's called). In the 3 cutie marks there's a figure with 6 spikes going out. Twilight obviously is the magic element, but what about the other 2? sunset's sun shape is very similar to the element too, and starlight has a little simbol wich also looks like the element. I don't know, but since they 3 have amazing abilities with magic...


Trenderhoof's cutie mark matches the pattern on his sleeve, so I'm assuming he's just really, really good with patterns in fashion.

@Gaia Cooper He's good at recognizing <i>patterns</i> and trends before they even become a thing. e.e

@Gaia Cooper He's good at recognizing _patterns_ and trends before they even become a thing. e.e

@Gaia Cooper creating interesting stories!!!!!!

The Snatcher I thought it was cos he travels and it’s like the travelling thing on walking books and clothes

@Gaia Cooperi mean rarity isnt the only fashion pony lol

that's Rarity who's the fashion queen.  He's a writer. Maybe he's good at creating?


So after watching Friendship Games (vague spoilers-sort-of ahead) I got to thinking about Sunset's cutie mark and...

It isn't just a sun. It is specifically an 8-pointed sun, VERY similar in design to Celestia's.

Among other alicorns and "wizard"-type unicorns, only the two of them are associated with the sun. Twilight comes closest, being between day and night. Then there's Luna, Starlight, Trixie Lulamoon, Starswirled... All night-themed ponies. And of course, Cadance the outlier, but given her mixed heritage as a part Crystal Pony it's understandable she doesn't follow the same conventions as regular ponies.

Moreover, if Sunset was not an alicorn as of My Past Is Not Today, it remains unclear but is significantly even-MORE likely as of Friendship Games. This is significant in that where Celestia was the first alicorn to our knowledge to exist in Equestria, Sunset would be the first to ascend within the human world (even if Twilight did exist via visiting prior).

The parallels between them are quite strong. And then, there's the ever-curious fact:

Sunset was Celestia's student before Twilight was. Twilight became her student in kindergarten. Sunset did not run away that young. Sunset and Twilight appear to be close to the same age. Yet during the time where they must have both been students, Twilight never met Sunset-- although Sunset DID seem vaguely aware of Twilight.

I daresay it's ALMOST as if there was some conscious effort made to keep Sunset's existence secret.

The sort of effort one might expect if there was something more at play than simply being a student.

Between the Cutie Mark resemblance, the only two ponies directly associated with the sun, the powerful magic, the probably-alicorn status, the questionable early life circumstances, and even Sunset's insistence on staying where she is rather than going home?

What if Sunset is Celestia's secret daughter?

(What? Father? That's not the important part of this theory. It could be a random inconsequential stallion; we don't know, Celestia could get bored. I mean, while we're Wild Mass Guessing, maybe she's half phoenix. Who knows. Not the point. x'3)

I do think it would be interesting if part of the reason Sunset stays is because she can't bring herself to face her mother, and/or because on some level she fears returning to a life of seclusion or otherwise living in Celestia's shadow, where in this world she can carve her own destiny.

Thoughts?

I like this theory, but I don't agree with the "Sunset is Celestia's daughter", I think it's more like Sunset sees (or at least saw) Celestia as a mother figure, and her magic, maybe, being similar to Celestia's

Well I thing You're missing important point here. Sunset could be somewhat aware of Twilight existance, they also seem to be more or less at the same age (now...) true but... You know when You look closer at the show chronology then there is one thing that becomes clear. Time in the human world and in Equestria doesn't flow with the same speed! It's hard to evaluate exact rate but it is something between 2,2 to 3 years in Equestria to 1 year in human world. I asumed it is 3, for easier calculations.
Firstly it means that while in pony world there is 30 moons (we can assume that it equestrian way of saing "month") between two times portal is opent it is just 10 in human world. Let's call it "portal cycles"
Also Sunset was supposedly winner of 3 Fall Formals in Canterlot High right? Even if those 3 wins include Spring Formal (or whatever it was called i mean Spring version of Fall Formal which was kinda mentioned) then still was saying that the Humane 5 was close friends in the first year and then it all was crushed by Sunset. But surely Sunset couldn't be super effective at that just from the start of being in that world - even if she could adjust much faster than Twilight it would still take some time. Not to mention getting herself enroll for the school.

And You know what? If Sunset would appear in that world 4 portal cycles prior to events of first Equestria Girl movie. Assuming the main characters are in 5th year of Cantelor High (and as this is some fictional world with unknown education system it is quite possible, even it that wouldn't fit US education system - I don't remember it does or not)  then 4 portal cycles before would be 40 months so it would be summer just after them finishing 1st year at Canterlot High. That gives enough time for Sunset to adjust to that world (and summer seems the best part of the year for that - You know vacation, the weather letting her even live in the wild if she wouldn't find any other solution etc.) but also winning 3 Fall Formals... and crash humane 5 friendship not long after they finished first year of the school
There are 3 less distant posibilities for Sunset's first visit in human world, but they don't seem so fitting - because of the mentioned points. Also is worth noticing, that one portal cycle before EG was also BEFORE (about 1,5 year before) Nightmare Moons return (I will refer to why it is so important later).
But the main thing here is: 40 months (moons) in human world give 120 in Equestria!  That's ten years! And as first EG movie was 1 year after the beginning of the series (I don't remember from where this info does come from but I'm almost 100% sure it's valid. Also it's kinda needed for chronology of the series to make sense - EVEN if it require assumption that the episodes of season 1-3 aren't ordered fully chronogically... I hope I didn't tangle that too much...) what means... Sunset escape Equestria 9 years BEFORE THE SHOW BEGAN! So when Twilight was about 10 years old.
Now everything make sense Sunset does recall her but Twilight doesn't remember Sunset as most likely becoming Celestia's private student and Sunset escape were very close event(ok maybe not that close but still I think that when Twilight become Celestia's personal student she wasn't much older than 8 year... also firstly she gets to Celestia's school and then become her private student as I remember...). Twily was not old enough to remember Sunset that much. We must remember she doesn't remember her school friends that much  actualy!
So there was no need for "hiding" Sunset.
As for being Celestia's daughter... well being created by magic is somewhat interesting but... I don't think it was that way. Also I don't think that "just random stalion" would fit what we know Celestia's character. No I think if she was Sunset biological mother then Sunset's father has to be Celestia's true love, who... well I don't know but most likely died.
But I'm more for a theory that she wasn't Celestias biological daughter, but still was like a daughter for Celestia and Celestia was like mother for her. I think actually show indicates that (well excluding Forgotten Friendship, which kinda destroy it all, because for me it was in the end like Celestia wouldn't be actually that special for Sunset and vice versa... WHAT'S SO MUCH CONTRADICTORY TO ALL WHAT WE DID KNOW EARLIER ABOUT THEY RELATION! But ok, enough with the ranting, let's just ignored this retcon needing part). Perhaps at some point Sunset parents died and Celestia adopts her or maybe Sunset was an orphan found by Celestia.
Anyway we know that in the end we could say Sunset learnded all the elements. And I think Celestia SAW this potential in here. Yes, I think that initially Celestia thought Sunset would be new bearer of the Elements (remember at the beginning they weren't wield in a way one element-one pony. They were all wield by royal sisters, and then just Celestia so wielding all by one pony make sense). It of course didn't happened, but I think this assumption was what make Celestia tell Sunset about Luna and the Elements (remember, Sunset disapear BEFORE Luna's return but still knew about elements and return to that world for them) and it didn't turned out so well. Sunset rebelled against Celestia... and discover this mirror, which was portal. She could discover time dilatation between worlds and thus go to this other unmagical world... for not having so much time to wait for Elements to appear (though she may wanted to get them before Nightmare Moon appear but miscalculated that event slightly... or asume it wouldn't matter if he apper 1 year later and then get the elements to - most likely - defeat both sisters). And then she could strike Celestia with element of the surprise at her side... which kinda go awry at the beginning of the movie, when Twilight woke up. Still that all fits perfectly well - why she was in that world and all...
Also have You ever thought about this why Twilight wasn't told about Luna or the Element while Sunset knew AT LEAST about this last? (and considered how much this topics are tied I think she knew about Luna too) I think it was  because Celestia feared that what happened with Sunset could repeat in case of Twilight (You know getting power craving from perspective of wielding the Elements of Harmony and all that...) so she decide to let her discover it by herself. And most likely also find those 5 ponies, who would be bearers of Element together with her, to share this gigantic reposnsibility and power.

That’s an interesting theory, that just blow my mind 🤯

Celestia did look after Sunset for a bit and Sunset and Twilight are exactly the same age, as when Twilight goes to CHS, the EGs are all in the same grade, we know that from subs rock and Schedule swap. Sunset knows Twilight because maybe they saw each other at special events? Twilight doesn't know about Sunset because she had her nose stuck in a book. And in friendship games, which i saw about 2 weeks ago, she turns into a beautiful angel, Daydream Shimmer, don't mistake me. Maybe her transformation was similar to P.Twilight's transformation. Both were lifted by bright white light, and both grew angelic like wings. And both were admired by her friends. Plus, Sunset is the leader of the friendship group, as shown in friendship games. P. Twilight is the leader of the mane 6. So, doesn't it make sense for the leaders to be both be regal. And don't forget, both love reading and studying and are smart, cool and just yeah, great. Although, Twilight is prone to panicking about tests and Sunset is prone to blaming herself on what happened in the First MLPEG movie, My Little Pony:Equestria Girls, AKA Through the Mirror.

OH MY GOD i didn't even read all that but wow how did you type all that?

Whhaaa? Your theory is so close to be true....

Well, actually, Sunset knew a lot about Twilight, as they were the same age. Maybe Sunset's Daydream Shimmer transformation might give a hint that she may take over from Principal Celestia? But then, who'd take over Luna? Sci-Twi? Maybe Sunset's demon represents Daybreaker and Midnight Sparkle represents Nightmare Moon so then the 2 best friends(who are like sisters by Forgotten friendship) were meant to rule together as Sunset is forgiving and empathetic(Like Celestia) and Twilight is odd and smart and different(like Luna). Like Elsa and Anna in Frozen. What do you think?

I can't even say how much I agree. Two options....
This is 110% correct
Or
We're all overthinking like mad scientist set to prove something on a 7 yr old kid  show

I like this theory, and in fact, I thought about it before, but I think that there is no father. I think Celestia created Sunset out of magic, I don't know if this is possible but, I have a reason to say she's made from magic. Mainly, we have never seen a Sunset Shimmer from the alternate world. I find it unlikely that the Sunset from the alternate universe was killed like some people say because there has never been a death of an innocent character (from what I remember) in MLP. I also don't think that Sunset there lives elsewhere because It would be way too lazy to say that 3 characters (Sci-Twi, Sunset, and Starlight) all just lived somewhere else. I thought of this theory when I saw people say that maybe Sunset is like Discord, where there can only exist one of them in all of the worlds, so I thought how could that be possible. So If Celestia truly did create Sunset out of magic, that would explain why there is no alternate version of herself because there was no magic there, to begin with. Also, in Forgotten Friendship, when Sunset goes to see Celestia, she isn't just nervous or hesitant; she is terrified. Granted, it maybe is because of the fact that Celestia is powerful and intimidating, but with this one, I'm really just fishing trying to find evidence. Sunset's unique power where she can see people's memories by touching their arm could also be one of Celestia's powers. However, this is more fishing, but it still is worth a mention because it is UNIQUE to Sunset, or maybe another character has it that I don't remember, so I just look like I don't know what I'm talking about.

Celestia also has a pet phoenix doesn't she?

What the heck. You somend up sunset cute mark perfectly, love the daughter theory


Sunset also comes before Twilight, and Sunset was Celestia's first student prior to Twilight Sparkle. They also are the end of day and the beginning of night. Furthermore, both events take place on the horizon, which is a visual representation of the future. If was are to assume that Celestia and Luna are not immortal, they will need heirs.

@Shadow Lover they are but they gotta have some fun and relaxing too!!

@I luv Dilfs Luna and Celestia were unicorns to start with. Twilight calls them the royal unicorn sisters. Flurry Heart is the only Alicorn to be born.

@itachimex I wrote one ages ago on Fanfiction.net, called EG: Best friends. It's a mixture of MLP, Beauty and the Beast, Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and of course, Equestria Girls. The first chapter is a re write of the cutie mark chronicles:https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13627454/1/EG-BEST-FRIENDS

Yep. in season 9, Twilight is the heir. Sunset is human. And P. Twilight and Sunset are very similar. What if P.Twilight was Equestria's heir, and Sunset is Canterlot High's heir?

Sometimes I wish twilight were Luna's student instead- and that Sunset never turned/repented as a pony so that she could stay Celestia's student. Also so that they can be the new day and night. That'd be so damn cool-I'm still sad it didn't happen

Celestia and Luna are immortal they were born waaay before the birth of equestria go watch apple geeks theory about them being natural born alicorns

Wait... Celestia and Luna are not immortal?

+OrinokawaMizuki ummmmm Twilight Sparkle already has a mom... Unless this is some season 8 trickery?

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.

There's a possibility that Twilight Sparkle is a 'reincarnation' of the previous Twilight, whose demise was caused by Day Breaker (aka Celestia). Meanwhile the current Twilight was given birth by Sunset Shimmer, who forgot about her own daughter.

Twilight will be ended by Dusk, will start again by Dawn.

+EmeraldDragon I believe sunset have something she meaby wanna be like celestia when she know its possible celestia can transform her into alicorn she was tempted by the power and her pride also help with that have a did anyone have a fanfiction from how sunset get he cutiemark ?


The sun rises and falls
Yellower when risen
Glowing bold orange after
Sunset Shimmer was made to represent the changes people face when growing up
Not older with time
Old with wisdom
She was born to change

in equestria girls, i think she represent the element of forgiveness kind of like when she change

@paranoia_ jewel did you say the same thing twice?

OH WOW good poem. For sunset
Poem name:sunset poem
XD :0

Char Magne sunset she is the princess of sun because her sun (idk how to spell it)

Dude, SHE SPROUT WINGS BECAUSE OF THE EQUESTRIAN MAGIC, SHE ISN'T BECOMING A PRINCESS

Azurys wowzers <br>that's a very intersting idea that you got but when you think about it she doesn't have very much wisedoom she is learning more think about it in the first film she told twilight that she knows nothing about friendship so maybe her Cutiemark represents the wisedoom that you take until the sunset comes and after that she goes to sleep

xXninja _katieXx w yeah and I'm and evil flower I'm flowey

Interesting concept, but I have a different idea. Just hear me out on this...

From what we know, what was Sunset Shimmer's main personality trait under Princess Celestia's tutelage? This is kind of up for debate, but the answer I see most is ambition. Sunset saw the power she could attain, and her ambition drove toward it. In the end, her ambition was what drove her away. Perhaps the symbol of the sun is meant to represent the goal of Sunset's ambition: succeeding Celestia and becoming the new ruler of the sun.

As for the colors, well...Sunset Shimmer spend a good portion, if not the majority - of her life as a protege of Celestia, who as we all know, doesn't have an evil bone in her body. However, Sunset ultimately chose a darker path, abandoning her teacher for a new life in the realm of Equestria Girls. And now that she's reformed, Sunset has now gone from light as a student, to dark as a high-schooler, and back to light as the new Element of Empathy. My guess is that Sunset will always be going back and forth between light and dark, because it's part of who she is...just like it is on her cutie mark.

MLP kitty 7876 yes I am a princess coz I am the next celestia

+Startream Soarin  it could be also maybe because she is an alicorn. She might not have wings in the pony world,but   maybe she's a princess of the human world  and she doesn't show her horn.maybe it's due to the fact that she's  also a pony from across the mirror so no one can see her horn but she has magic abilities of an alicorn . who knows ,  because we never seen principal  celestia and Luna  transform. and if you  saw  FRENDSHIP games and legend of everfree you will see real human twilight. So you don't get confused she could be an extra like in the mane 6 of Equestria  there is starl7ght glimmer who ,was evil , tried  to destroy ,  and became good  like human twilight.  So sunset could be the element of magic  or friendship   and twilight would be like starlight  glimmer , an extra .   this is what I think so don't judge!

Also no offense Charle Magne but she probably isn't the Princess of Wisdom .

YES SHE WILL!!!!!!!!!! Didn't she sprout wings once? Maybe one day she  goes through the portal but ends up in the place Twilight was in when she became a princess and when she gets back to Equestria she is an alicorn! I have to give credit to Brony Notion for this theory, though.

Sunset Shimmer... The Princess of Wisdom.


Suns, moons and stars are often used in cutie marks to represent magic (eg Twilight, Starlight, Sunburst, Moondancer). This is why Sunset has a sun cutie mark. (Could this also be true for Celestia and Luna?)


“What does Trixie’s cutiemark represent?”

COMMUNISM

Does anyone remember the comment that was really popular on this video, and they totally called the joke? What happened to them? 😂 They were the top comment for a LONG time

Why do I feel like some ppl here didn't see the ending?-
It was at the end of the vid guys c'mon 👁👄👁

@Trixie Lulamoon no it represents illusion. A better example of communism is starlight's village.

I love how many people don't get this is quote from the video lol

<b>no it represents the great and powerful</b>

*no it represents the great and powerful*

<b>Im getting the same vibes I get from my brother</b>

His cutie mark represents linear optimization functions (lines) and points of intersection (orange diamonds). By following “trends” in the data he can calculate the best next move for his fashion career. This would make him somewhat of a nerd, which explains the glasses and sweater!


The reason why cheese is considered symbolic of joy is the same reason you're asked to say "cheese" when someone takes a photo of you. It is hard to say the word "cheese" without showing your teeth -- smiling. :) Moreover, the flat 'e' sound has excitable connotations, as in shouting "whee!" on a fun carnival ride.

Cheese also activates the same parts of the brain as drugs, and cheese sandwhich is like he's on drugs-

Sorry, I had to.


I think Sunset shimmer's cutie mark represents how she made a connection in equestria and the human world! She introduced the human world magic and she introduced equestria to the human world, especially the rulers of Equestria. The two worlds connected because of Sunset! But your reason was kinda right too


Alright,
We got the sun (celestia)
The sunset (shimmer)
The dawn? (Twilight)
The hotel? (Trivago)

For dawn its actually luster dawn but it makes sense saying that this was commented like ya know a year ago

@Saj Khan Cadence means "Rhythm, Flow" actually

Celestia:sun Twilight:Twilight  Luna:moon Cadence:gems?  Sunset:Sunset. What these people /ponies names means

@Dull_Demon47 I don't know? Misunderstanding?

@HelloWorld what- then why do people interchange twilight & midnight so much then?

@Dull_Demon47 Twilight is right after sunset then after twilight is dusk.

@Katt IsWriting Oh she's a bookworm i get it... right-

@HelloWorld actually Twilight is the first book... (hoping they understand the joke)

Twilight is not dawn... Twilight is right after sunset-


maybe sunsets cutie mark represents how she was celestias student before twilight or its because of her magical ability almost as powerful as celestia because they do look similar and sunsets power almost rivals twilights that's impressive considering that twilight is a alicorn and sunset is a unicorn

@Luis Brito Only the alicorn amulet? Yet she couldn't beat it when Trixie had it?

Sunset and Twilight are very powerful but Sunset's power is telepathy and Twilight's is telekinetic. Sunset will always be a unicorn out of punishment even though she's done many good things.

That’s because twilight is not interested in getting stronger. If she wanted to be powerful she would have already surpassed the princesses combined. When she was a filly she performed spells that only a Unicorn with the Alicorn amulet could cast... imagine her at her full potential.

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. Sunset's MORE powerful than Twilight! If you watch "Princess sunset shimmer | MLP: FIM theories", you'll see that!


I Heard this theory somewhere on youtube about how celestia and luna come from a race Where all ponies become alicorns( or they were just alicorns that lived there). As the daughter of the rulers they were send out to bring Peace to a neighbouring kingdom which they started to rule.

Coming from that theory i have a theory that both twilight and sunset shimmer Where made to replace luna and celestia so that they could go back to there own land. Sunset came before twilight and was supposed to take Celestial place while twilight was supposed to take lunas, after all sunset shimmer has the colours of a Sun, her name has the Sun in it and her cutie Marek is a Sun. Twilight in the other hand has the colours of the night, her cutie Mark has stars (Yes, i know they represent magic but they Can have a double meaning) and her name involves stars which are night related.

If you guys have anything else to back up my theory or have points against it od love to hear them!

Gaia Cooper it represents herself, that’s why it’s big and pink.

Actually, the 5 white stars in Twilight's cutie mark represent her friends, AJ, Pinkie, Rarity,  Rainbow, Fluttershy and there is a sixth white star, which could represent 1 of 3 characters: Sunset Shimmer, Discord or Starlight Glimmer. Who do you guys think the last white star represents?


I think sunsets cutie mark represents how she was supposed to be the Alcorn he lifted the sun instead of twilight being an à la corn or maybe they both are supposed to be Alcorns instead because in my little pony Equestria girls friendship games that grows wings once again then she fights twilight twilight trying to stop her from making the wrong decision then in the first movie of my little pony Equestria girls Sunset grows wings when see put on twilights crown then in the song my past is not today she grows phoenix wings


I feel like the meaning of the Sun and Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark is just her name because we've seen other ponies with their names being their cutie marks like diamond tiara and silver spoon of course it could mean something else but that's all I could come up with


I saw trenderhoof in the friendship games he's a crystal prep student


Also, you can note that demon Sunset was mainly red and Daydream Shimmer was mainly yellow, showing clearly what the two colors represent.


Weird Al is amazing, he fit in nicely in this series but I'd love to see the dude do more voice acting in general


For Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark, actually shows a bit more meaning to his past and his personality:
the burns on the pieces of bread show that he had a rough childhood from being alone and without friends; and for actually cooking bread in a pan or toaster, if you leave it alone for too long, it will burn , for cheese's case, he was hurt by not having any friends. For the cheese in the cutie mark, it can show that he is still light hearted and a good pony even after being broken from loneliness.
To sum this up, his cutie mark shows that even after getting hurt from being left alone, he's still happy, light hearted, and has a good heart.
That's just something I realized while watching


I always wanted sunset shimmer's cutie mark to be that she was meant to inherit celestia's duties to control the day but thats probably just me wishing sunset had a bigger role


Since I saw and heard in videos that there were not enough Earth ponies in the Brony community.  I feel that being an Earth pony suited me and my wife good.  I would not have any expectation to be either Pegasi,  Unicorn, or even an Alicorn.


It's rather simple, actually. Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark represents her talent with magic. If you notice, every pony with a talent for magic has some king of celestial body for a cutie mark; Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and even Trixie (though hers being part of wand shows her talent at magical entertainment). People tend to forget that Sunset was Celestia's student, and therefore had a talent for magic.

@Sawtooth Waves well the thing is cadence is/was not a unicorn <br>She was Pegasus then got her cutie mark then became a princess

@Sawtooth Waves well the thing is cadence is/was not a unicorn
She was Pegasus then got her cutie mark then became a princess

@Gaia Cooper Sunset doesn't have a canonical element. That's a fan theory

@Shirotora Godsbane Sunset's the element of Empathy, right? And even in film 1, she showed to understand, even if she was mean.  Maybe her cutie mark has something to do with My Past is Not Today!

@Gaia Cooper As I mentioned in an earlier post, her power in the EQG world doesn't necessarily translate to her power in Equestria. Like I said, Sunset was one of only a handful of unicorns to ever be shown teleporting, which is a high level spell. Plus, she was Celestia's student, a position one can only have if they have a talent for magic.

As for Starlight and Sunburst, they have a star and sun, respectively, for a cutie mark, both celestial bodies and both have a talent for magic.

@Shirotora Godsbane I mean in Legend of Everfree, she can see people's memories, right? How does the talent to do telepathy come into her cutie mark, she's like your Draco Malfoy but a lot better. Maybe what we all should be asking ourselves is: Who would the big 7 in Harry Potter be in Equestria Girls and possibly, what would be the big 7's cutie marks?

About the part in the midle of sunsets cutie mark... it could be like the circle of sunrise and sunset.

ur right that also proves the stuff aout her eig alicor it could also refer to the daw of a new day cause she reverted from dark to light

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. Watch "Princess sunset shimmer | MLP: FIM theories" and you'll know how powerful in magic she is.

Shirotora Godsbane lol perfect 👌 just perfect

Shirotora Godsbane no.Her element represents forgiveness!😋

@Amber Slahlize We might if they're going the direction I think they are with the end of LoE

No. Honestly, her power in LoE were more of the power of plot development. Her magical ability in Equestria is still rather unknown. All we know is she was the first unicorn other than Twilight that was shown as being able to teleport.

She may have an affinity for fire magic

@Amber Slahlize Not true. Often both the sun and moon are hailed as magical in mythology. Egypt's King of the Gods was Ra, the Sun Disk. In Norse Myth, the sun was the goddess Sol. In Wicca, the sun is one of the most important magical symbols.

Exactly! You can see it in Starlight too (even tho I don't like her very much). Starlight's cutie mark has a sort of celestial shape to it too!

No one said it was. Magic was her special talent before training with Celestia, and her cutie mark was a star. The point is, every pony whose talent is magic has some form of celestial symbol, be it stars, suns, or moons, as a cutie mark.

Well, if twilight got her cutie mark before she started working with celestial, then it wasn't the training from celestial that caused it

@Logan Fields I don't see what you're getting at. How does that disprove anything? When Twilight got her cutie mark doesn't change what it represents, or that every other pony with a magic talent has a celestial body as part of their mark. Can you elaborate, please?

Yes, but this could be disproved if think back and realize that twilight got her cutie mark right before she went into training with celestia

@Amber Slahlize Break ups always suck. Sorry you had to go through it.

Though she's talented with magic, that's not her special talent. Her talent is emotion and matters of the heart. Take the spell she used in Twilight's flashback (you know, the one everyone thinks is brainwashing), it's a powerful spell that I believe simply clears the emotional turmoil in one's heart so they can remember how they truly feel. Although it showed the couple forgetting their argument and making up, it could have just as likely shown them they weren't meant to be and break up mutually, possibly still remaining friends.

The fact that her mark is crystal could represent her connection to the crystal empire, or the fact that she uses powerful magic with her talent, crystals usually being magic themselves.

I never noticed that! But what about Cadence?


You know, Sunset Shimmer would be an excellent companion for The Doctor. I plan on doing my own audio Doctor Whooves audio series with this concept. Maybe you guys can give me some advice on doing that.


personally, I think that Sunset's cutie mark represents her fiery temper, I mean, in Equestria Girls, she is shown to have a temper(like the time when she shouted at Micro Chips) and I think it also represents her positivity and her ability to read minds, as shown in Legend of Everfree. I think also it shows her relationship with Princess Celestia, which was very close, until she left. It also represents her transformation in friendship games and Equestria Girls, two overly excessive Good and Evil.


about sunset, I think it represents her magic talent as a unicorn, many unicorns who dedicate their life to magic have celestial cutie marks like sun, stars and moon.

I had been thinking and analyzing and I have reached a conclusion.
Cutiemarks have 2 forms;
1 In-direct Cutie Mark
2 Direct Cutiemark

For the first one; The Cutiemark is all about representation not the actual occupation similar to the Cutiemarks of Derpy, Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, Trenderhoof, and many more that their personality or a deeper meaning is being showed through a mark.

For the second one, it's both Representation and Occupation.
This differentiates with the 1st one because Derpy's mark are bubbles and yet her occupation is a mailmare. And those with Direct Cutiemarks are more effective at their task than Indirect


Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark DOES  have the yin-yang "dots". The firey ring sun part. I like your theory, but the firey-flame part could be the  dot with the yellow flame as good in the red part of a circle and the red firey flame as bad in the good yellow circle. I hope that made sense.


I know it's late for this but what if sunset's cutie mark means like a new beginning or something. The sun 'renews''every day so maybe her special talent is reneweing and bringing out the positive things, like shining the light of the sun.


Season 5 could have been a Venture into the mystery of the Cutie Marks and how they work.


Sunset is slowly taking over Twilight's place, so it only makes sense that her mark kind of looks like the shape of Twilight's. There is also the fact that a sunset is the setting or lowering of a day or age, so it could represent how she is starting a new age in her world with magic.


As I go deep in analysis , I might have an explanation of sunset shimmer's cutie mark. My first theory: the middle could be limits of good and evil, where red is evil, yellow is good. This could symbolize how she has the chance to change how she is. As I look to the outside of the cutie mark, I see how there even is an outside. Most cutie marks have them, of course, but there is something different about it. The flames on the outside might symbolize how she will think outside of limitations of thought ( if there are any) and how she has the chance to use it for good an evil. The thought is silly of this, but you must think deeper than you might for other cutie marks.
  (note: I got this part from the comments. Thank goodness to scroll bar!)
   For my second theory, I note that her cutie mark is smaller than celestias, but her cutie mark is very similar. Part of this might be because she was to take the place of Celestia, but because of her choices, she never had the chance. As we think ahead into season 3, I note that it might have been Sunset Shimmer's destiny to become an alicorn, but she was banished before. As I think of this, Maybe Celestia knew that she might be losing power, so she needed to take on an apprentice, or student, so if/ when she lost to much power, she would be able to hand her job off to another alicorn. So now I am wondering if Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark is supposed to mean that she was supposed to become the next alicorn? Maybe the red means she flawed her chance of becoming the heir of Celestia. Was it supposed to be Twilight who became the alicorn, or was it Sunset Shimmer?


If you looks in the middle of Sunset’s cutie mark, it looks like a Ying Yang symbol. First a dark red, (purely evil, I mean who would ruin Pinkie’s party?) and then a light yellow, showing her transformation of Evil to Kind. Though she is not completely kind. Sometimes she might just feel angry, like in Friendship Games,(Spoiler) she got so mad at Twilight(HUMAN, not Princess Pony Celestia’s student) and when she was evil, she wasn’t like Starlight, Ruining people’s destiny. If you look at Sunset’s past, you gotta give her some slack. Not everybody gets turned into an alicorn just like that, and that’s what Sunset thought. Twilight, Cadence, Celestia, Luna, Flurry Heart. They’re all alicorns, Sunset just wanted to join!

As well as this, Sunset’s cutie mark isn’t just a random sun, it’s an 8-pointed one. Like Celestia’s..Could Sunset be Celestia’s lost daughter? (Sounds cringeworthy, I know, but don’t hate, I’m just a pegasister.) When you listen to My Past Is Not Today, she starts as the sun sets and she has a personal reflection on what she’s done. Then as the song ends, the sun rises to represent that it’s the start of a new day and she’s left the past behind! If you think about magical ponies, you can find a connection. Celestia, Sunset, Twilight, Starlight, Luna. Celestia meaning Sun, as in the day. Sunset comes before Twilight, and then Starlight drops in. Sounding familiar? Sunset was Celestia’s first student, then Sunset “quit” and ran into the portal. Celestia found Twilight, and Twilight is currently teaching Starlight. Also something with her name. Sunset SHIMMER, as the sun shimmers throughout the day, and is gone at night. Sunset was MISSING from the Canterlot Formal at NIGHT, to fake smashing the portal, which is open until the MOON is completely covered. Just wait, that’s not all.

What about their cutie marks? Sun, Sun, Star, Star, Moon. Don’t you think those fit together? Oh! And one more thing. In “My Past Is Not Today” Sunset’s transformation is into what looks like a phoenix. Phoenix..Sunset has risen from the ashes, and Phoenixes are a bird of fire, most likely the fire that is so hot that it’s on the sun.

Yes, this may sound plebby, but it’s plausible!


(Regarding Sunset's cutie mark)<br>Many people associate magic with stars and swirls. Sunset studied magic as a filly, and her cutie mark does look like a mystique swirling sun. Also, we can associate the sun with happiness, so i think the mark might describe her personality as well. The bright colors might represent warm, happy version. Also Brony Notion, I LOVE your videos!

I know I'm late but the sun could represent setting a new beginning. As a new day starts a new thing happens, kind of representing a new start. The sun is also supposed to mean happiness thus could be selflessness like spike. (Making others happy so putting others before her)


Sunset ' s  cutie mark  has the sun because she was Princess Celestia's student before Twilight. This means that Twilight and Sunset would probably play the same part if Sunset stayed in Equestria. That also  means that Sunset would be The Element of Magic in the human world.😉


I’d say there is evil in good and vise versa with sunset. Good in evil was her willingness to change, and Evil in good is her anger issues. (That’s not really evil but she’s very... aggressive when mean)


When he mentioned cheese sandwiches being related to lightheartedness, I immediately thought of that one Sam O'nella Academy video where the symbol between good and evil is a grilled cheese shaking hands with a razor covered dildo. Took me a few minutes to stop laughing at that connection.


Cherilee said that the flowers were the happy souls of the foals she taught or smthn so maybe there’s deeper meaning to each and every cutie mark


The pattern of Trenderhoof's cutie mark is called argyle. Just FYI, it is sometimes warn on sweater vests, in the Hipster-Elite cliques.


Has anyone else noticed almost every characters name matches their cutie mark and their roles in life?

But like a comment below said, if you pay attention, every pony who's "gift" has to do with magic, has similar cutie marks that are often Suns, stars, and moons.


I think the meaning is in her name “Sunset” she tried to set the sun but a “Shimmer” of good remained. Though she attempted to destroy (or set) the “sun” (representing good/Celestia) there was still light afterwards. That light was in her, represented through friendship and redemption.


Sunset shimmer.  The transition of day into dusk, the moment of calming high energy to a calmer state, the transitional moment where the sun's rays scatter and bounce off surfaces and create various different colors and visuals. Her ability to be a leader, a fiery and passionate competitor or personality and not be far reaching and a person who is introspective, compassionate, focused and her various intellectual skills


Well, I suppose Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark might be a clue to her possible future role in Equestria. There is speculation that she has, or is going to become an Alicorn at some point, perhaps even Twilight and Sunset being the spiritual successors to Celestia and Luna, both names represent an aspect of the transition. She could also be fulfilling Twilight's role in the parallel world.


Considering that Sunset's cutie mark was before they knew she would be in more than one movie and she'd have more aspects to her character I think it's safe to say that even if she doesn't want to overthrow Celestia any more that is what she wanted when she got it and that is what it represents.

Maybe now it could also represent her leadership skills considering Celestia was the sole ruler of all of Equestria at the time Sunset would have gotten her cutie mark.


Something I've noticed is that all unicorns whose talents are magical have cutie marks that show some sort of celestial body, and more often that not even their names reference this. Twilight Sparkle referencing stars in the sky, Sunset Shimmer referencing, well, the sun, Starlight Glimmer representing stars again.

What does it all mean? Is the implication here that what we know as magical energy in the show is derived from celestial bodies? That would explain why those who seem the most connected to magic all tend to exhibit namesakes and cutie marks that reference said entities.


I think the sun on Sunset's cutie mark represents how she once was a gifted student of Princess Celestia, who also has a sun as a cutie mark. The red and yellow represent how sometimes Sunset can still have angry outbursts, but still chooses to be good. However there is still a balance, as sometimes she can be mean, while mostly she is nice. Anyway, that's my theory. What do you guys think?


In the Sims, not sure what expansion it was, but the cheat codes allowed one to alter a (usually set) destiny for that Sim. One of the hacked options was "Grilled Cheese". It was hilarious.<br>Hence, Cheese Sandwich has a cheese sandwich cutie mark. Totally canon.

3:30 Overthrow Celestia? Really? If that had been her goal, she never would have left Equestria.
My belief is that when Sunset saw her cutie mark was a sun, she took this as confirmation that she would eventually succeed Celestia. But when she learned about Twilight, she started having self esteem issues and eventually left through the portal. Since she didn't explain her departure to Celestia, she thought Sunset was frustrated because she wasn't Celestia's personal student. That would explain the "when she did not get what she wanted as quickly as she liked" line.

@Chris Vairamon um, Sunset was good, but she was only a villain because Twilight got all the attention and she was jealous, literally green with envy so she ran away and became the bully of Freshman, Sophomore but the nicey of Junior and Senior years.

in MLPEG, in the first film, she still wanted to overthrow Celestia, remember? We also know that Sunset lacks self confidence(see the film, Rainbow Rocks, specifically the first 3 scenes) And that was why she was a bully at CHS.

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.

As long there is an obstructed Sun, there would never be a Twilight.

Anyway. Sunset Shimmer's background was based on Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. And because Twilight occurs from Sunset, you can see on how Twilight Sparkle is actually Sunset's daughter ala Luke and Anakin.

@tawnyflower678 Or she might do a complete one-eighty and be loved by all.

@Henry goh Well, this is Sunset Shimmer. She might have a backup plan.

@tawnyflower678 As of now, there's not enough information from the show on griffons, aside from the fact that they have friendly competitions with ponies. As for the changelings, their species operates with a hive mind, them being insect like and all. Sunset would have to convince Chrysalis to work with her without getting back stabbed from the queen of a race dependent on deception.

@Henry goh How about the griffons then? Hell, I could see her striking a deal with the changelings.

I think that you're cutie mark is like you're life book. If you study a cutie mark long enough you can see you're future to a certain extent and some ponys have a more detailed cutie mark then others.

Just a thought

@The Brony Notion At the end, you mention how her cutie mark no longer represented her role as Celestia's apprentice and potential successor. This, however, suggests that a cutie mark lays out a pony's life like a book. Cuties marks, at the most basic definition, is a representation of personal skills and innate interests, and is not meant to be influenced by outside sources. It is metaphoric and subjective, and the best analyzer could possibly bend and twist an image into whatever he/she needed.

Examples:

 Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark, the sun, consists of a swirl of two colors because of her shifts in personality. She began as a good student, turned evil, met twilight and turned good again. She may have a split personality disorder. The eruption of flame around the swirl is also two colored, stemming from the internal turmoil. It is possible that at some point she will go completely insane and live both personalities at once.

The Sun in Sunset's cutie mark is one of balance and light. At the center is where balance is found. Though there are no eyes within the "yin yang" there is still a significant meaning of balance. At the end of EG2, Sunset has found her balance in friendship, and though the push and pull of the central swirl may always exist to tug on their bond, it is the perseverance of her friendship that makes her strong. On the back of the cutie mark we see the rays of light, or is it? Look closely, it's a flower. You know it is, and what do flower's do? They bear fruit. Her flowery mark, colored with the like of the sun, reveals her to be someone(pony) who is delicate and passionate, but steadfast and stands in the face of adversity because she has done it before and knows that with her friends, she can do it once more.

See? Two different ideas from one mark. Though both are intended to be ridiculously stretched and improbable, they both have reasons derived from the same mark. There is no way to truly know what the mark means, for it is under the will of a power mortals are not free to know. (until season 5. They jut had to ruin my fun...)

@tawnyflower678 Ponyville doesn't seem very... military.

There can't be more than two thousand students at that school, at the very most. In terms of war, that's tiny. There must have been something better to work with in Equestria.

There's a line in Equestria girls where Sunset said her goal was never to gain power over Canterlot high, but of equestria. That's why she wanted to send the brainwashed students into equestria.


I think that Sunset Shimmer was so powerful in magic that she could move the sun just as Celestia does. My idea is that she got her cutiemark and became Celestia's student after succesfully  moving the sun or just at least trying to do it. And THAT is why she was Celestia's student. As we know, Celestia was looking for a new princess and her replacement in the future. It is obvious that she was looking for a pony with a similiar cutiemark and abilities, just like Sunset Shimmer does.

According to what we know about sunset she turned from bad to good. There is no balance to it. She had a nice heart now. But it just could be in her name. Yes Twilight has a star, she is the main pony of the show. But that can mean differently for any other pony.


What i also thought for this video, is how they even get these cutiemarks. I mean not just that sunset kinda represents THE sunset, she transformed to a phoenix in "My past is not today" right when the sun came up. Maybe she has something to do with the sun? Anyway... We saw some pictures of sunset in the movies where she is shown at the school balls. She always had her mark and got it early when she studied with celestia. How did she get it? Did she make the sun coming up in the morning? She gets the mark when she finds out what she is ment to be. That doesnt just mean the bright and dark side of her charakter... So did she do something with the sun?


Maybe the sun represents that even though she had an inner battle between light and dark she came out light.


Dont forget cutie marks also seem to appear based on what you experienced while you find out what your talent is. Like fluttershys cutie mark is those butterflies that saved her from the fall right before she realized she could speak to animals and take care of them, same goes for Cheese Sandwich he was at a party and had realized how much he loved parties also while grabbing a cheese sandwich


I think the sun symbol is along the same lines as starlight glimmer, twilight sparkle, even sunburst; good at magic (im assuming, since she was Celestia’s pupil), so she has like a generic celestial shape symbol. The sun probably indicated her study under celestia, or the center of a new friend group’s magic? Or her firey personality?


(Please forgive me, as these next paragraphs may be broken and disjointed)
I think that the destinies of Sunset and Twilight were... scrambled. What I mean is, their destinies have been changed. In my theory, Sunset was intended to take after Celestia and Twilight after Luna, but this never happened; instead, Twilight is essentially taking after Celestia. I think that when Sunset "joined the dark side" she inadvertently altered her destiny of being Celestia's successor, which then changed Twilight's destiny of ruling alongside her in Luna's place. Had Sunset not become power hungry, I think she would have become an alicorn princess, and then followed by Twilight.

Sunset was Celestia's student long before Twilight came into the picture, so if Celestia had been looking for a successor, Sunset would have been the first and most likely candidate. When you see Sunset's cutie mark, it's of a sun, which looks vaguely similar to Celestia's own. Her name "Sunset" refers to her literally setting the sun (aka Celestia) and being her "replacement."

Had Celestia for some reason stepped down, or passed away, or anything else, Sunset would take over in her place. It would stand to reason that Luna might/would do the same, especially if the two were getting old. I think Twilight would have been Luna's replacement, because we see that Luna's cutie mark is a moon, and Twilight's is a star (yeah Element of Magic, but still a star) and stars are often connected to the moon, usually the stars appearing after the sun has set....... After the sun has set......... After sunset..... as in, after Sunset, comes Twilight.


Sunset shimmers cutiemark means hope, hope in life that she'd be good.Like you said it represents her dark and reformed side, it meant she'd have hope or be reformed in life.


I think sunset has the sun not only for name but also be related to her eq song "my past is not today" the sun shows that a new day has started, and the song begins as the sun sets and sunset falls into her own darkness. as she sings she looks at her past and things she did, then the sun begins to rise and she goes towards it heading for the new day leaving the past behind.


Remember that the cutie marks make even more sense to their name so I guess it could be that or it resembles light like the sun is light and she does make people smile some times so maybe she resembles bright ness like in a musical song she did make light also brightness but then again it's just my thought.


I have several "How to Draw Ponies" videos in my library.  So I can try to create  pony persona for me and my wife, but placing cutie marks seems a bit of a difficulty.


Perhaps the lack of dots in Sunset's cutie mark may represent her relatively polarized set of moods / "social potential." What I mean is this: as a friend she is warm, genuine, and caring, but as a bully she was mean and manipulative enough to earn the fear of the whole school. Even post-reformation she has come to show extreme hostility when angered (i.e. in "Friendship Games" and "Forgotten Friendship"), though she learns from this and tries to grow out of it.


About Sunset shimmers cutie mark... It also can represent her hair maybe? I noticed that the "yin-Yan" part of her cute mark is the exact same colours of her hair. In the same kind of wavy pattern. Did anyone else notice that? Probably just me... I notice even the tiniest details and I feel weird when no-one spots them until a year has gone by...


Sunset 's cutie mark can also represent her traveling to different dimensions like we don't know sunset 's cutie mark till she stole twilight 'crown so, maybe like lunar her destiny became traveling to the human world and we knew sunset 's plan so, to take over Equestria by her teenager zombies her cutie didn't change because It's still in her like discord he betrayed twilight and her friends maybe sunset will strike again? But that won't happen again because I think the tree of harmony is gone and we didn't see sunset after that so 🤔 maybe???


How Cutie Marks Regularly Work:
A pony is named
The pony earns a cutie make fulfilling their destiny doing what they are named after
The cutie mark looks like his or her complexion.
Though there is a stronger meaning to a pony's mark, this is generally what it means.


I don't know why, but I feel like a huge part of Sunsets character is involving a Phoenix. In fact, if you want to do another video on her, that is a good idea, because it seems to be a huge part of her. Also, in both the song she sings about her past, and the latest movie, she has PHOENIX wings! #newmovie maybe? Plus, if you look at her cutie mark, and the phoenix's colour, they are the same. Also, remember Celestial has a Phoenix! I'm just saying. What do you guys think?


Well, if we take a look at Some unicorn ponies names and unicorns, they could be related to magic and knowledge (Sunburst, Star Swirl, Starlight Glimmer, Moondancers etc.). Maybe ponies destined to be magically powerful or knowledgeable could have names and cutie marks related to Space and celestial stuff. That's my theory


His talent is just making trendy patterns, within pony media or in fashion


I really like the characters starlight glimmer and sunset shimmer both of them are really relatable and I think sunset shimmer should be something like the phoneix and what are the characteristics of a phoneix first they represent the sun then second of manipulate thats what sunset did when she was bad and it symbolises the yin and yang that explains her transformation from bad to good and when a phoneix is evil it represents power and destruction and is thristy for power thats exactly sunset when she was evil.<br>Edit: I have never written such a long comment.

maybe sunset's cutie mark represents Yellow for equestria and red for the human world beacouse she is right in the middle of it. the sun shape represents the portals in the different worlds and we seen that sunset is like a portal. she spended sometime in both worlds and she knows all about both.


Trenderhoof's cutie mark is argyle, representing his talent of being trendy. It's not just a crisscross pattern matching his elbow patches.


She also looked like a phoenix when she became evil in equesteria girl


Sunset desired to be the centre of attention. The most powerful unicorn. Celestias prodigy. I think the sun in her cutie mark represents that


I believe that Sunsets cutie mark means that she is as strong at magic as Celestia . <br>I guess i

I believe that Sunsets cutie mark means that she is as strong at magic as Celestia .
I guess i


Well I believe, she got her cutie mark before she got evil. So I don’t think it shows evil to good. I think it shows good to evil.


Yin and Yang isn't about a balance of "good and evil". It represents two opposite or contrasting forces that are actually complementary to one another, and at the same time give rise to one another when interrelated. Think Day and night, Male and Female, etc.

In regards to Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark...there's so many different ways to look at hers.


maybe Sunset represents a new beginning/ending..? im not really sure about her cutiemark but she has become in an awesome and super nice person now ;www; the sun in general, (in my opinion) represents a new start, new opportunities, which is what Sunset Shimmer is taking and doing, she is starting all over again, and she is taking the opportunities to help others and make them feel better, she is literally a ray of sun ;w; 💜💜


I think it's because when she was evil turning to good it's like the sun setting becoming the Moon


I'm gonna get a bit cheesy here, but I think it's plausible (well, I suppose anything is plausible) that Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark represents bringing light, as the sun does. Perhaps like Twilight having the duty of spreading friendship throughout Equestria, Sunset has or will have the duty of spreading friendship in the human universe, thus bringing the light of love and companionship to a dark world of hatred and conflict.

Sunset has a rather fiery personality and quick temper that could be the sun part of her cutie mark signifying her temper as quick and blazing as a sun once ignited


You know Sunset Shimmers cutie mark is like the ying yang symbol  well when she was a "she - demon" there was still some  good inside of her and now that she's good there might be a bit of bad still in her.


I think Sunset Shimmer’s cutie mark represents how she has a good side and a bad side. She was also taught by Celestia and her cutie mark is also the sun! Coincidence? I think not!


Well sunset is actually a princess so Im guessing fate has a plan were sunset takes place on celestia and twilight take the place of lun
Since we all know the theory were sunset is actually a princess there is a slight of chance that they are the next ruler
Besides twilight already got his wavy flowy moving hair
As for sunset some parts shows that shes an alicorn like the song my past is not today or the part she help human twilight change


The sun could represent her name, after all, all cutie marks have something to do with their names. And maybe why it isn’t fully a ying and yang,, is because she is still becoming a full, a balanced.


Probly got its meaning of "magic" from olden pony times when unicorns used to raise the sun and moon. If sunset lives in that time she would probably raise the sun.

If you watch "Princess sunset shimmer | MLP: FIM theories", you'll see that Sunset is similar to Celestia because of the sun.


A sunset gives new hope for those who slow down to watch it and we know her geode gives her empathic telepathy and she was apparently just as good as Twilight under Celestia's teaching to learn magic


Trixie's cutiemark gets me every time:) :)


She was probably called sunset bc of her skin

Edit: Sunset Shimmer*


Actually Sunset's name was so close to the sun. And kinda, she's slightly a Pheonix now that everything has shown she kinda is now. Pheonix represent sun and fire so she's kinda full of that.


I believe that Sunset is destined to replace Celestia, which explains why her cutie mark is a sun.


i think that sunset's cutie mark represents that she will always be stuck in the middle, if you haven't noticed the yin and yang symbol.


Sunset's cutie mark being a sun is likely a reference to her talent being the use and practice of magic. All ponies with talents regarding magic have had celestial bodies and/or sparkles for their cutie marks, and Sunset is no exception: Twilight has many stars, Starlight has an aurora and a sparkle, Sunburst has a glowing sun with sparkles, Starswirl has a star with a swirl, so on.


I think the yin and yang of Sunset's mark means she's undecided.<br>And good vidéo!

Doesnt Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle both mean the same thing?

they are close as sisters, literally. Maybe Sunset is the bridge between Equestria and the human realm, like Elsa between nature and magic(sorry, i love frozen 2) Come on. Elsa: Sunset, Anna: Twilight

Yes! They do! Watch "Princess Sunset Shimmer | MLP: FIM theories!" It'll explain it!

No bc sunset is a bit before twilight and  shimmer is less sparkly than sparkling so her name represents that she is a bit weaker than twilight.

Hasbro uses Logic! It's super effective!

Sorry, couldn't resist... :D

sunset is a time and so is twilight<br>shimmer is a shines so does sprakle

sunset is a time and so is twilight
shimmer is a shines so does sprakle

+Ella Johnson I think someone needs to go back to school.

@Ella Johnson uhhh no sunset is at night sunrise is in the morning.

no. twilight is at night. the sunset is in the morning.

Shimmer and sparkle yes twilight and sunset not really twilight is sort of after sunset cause when the sun is setting it's a bunch  of colors after that it's twilight not fully night but light and a bit of blue above thee horizon

Sunset comes before Twighlight, hey wasn't Sunset Celestia's personal student before Twighlight?! Way to go MLP creators! You used logic!

@Azure Nightfall what i just realized is that sunset shimmer came BEFORE twilight sparkle so TWILIGHT came AFTER SUNSET

@Ethan Medina Also, twilight (the time when the Sun is six degrees below the horizon) is a part of the time that a sun sets/after a sunset comes twilight...

i didnt get it.....can you tell me please what do you mean?


great video but as for sunset shimmers cutie mark I believe it has to do with her turn to good a sun brings forth a new day while she also focuses too bring forth a new image for herself making her as I theorise the element of forgiveness


I just niw thought of it, sunset shimmer dosent want to set the sun anymore, but in my past is not today, the sun sets as she "becomes an alicorn" so maybe taking over Luna's parr, as you said in your video, is her destiny. And as you said, twilight brought back balance between celestia and Luna. So that's why I think they are meant to take over celestia and Luna's parts as rulers of equestria


I think it means that she "rises" into a new life after "setting" her old ways


Sunset Shimmer(bad)- To let the sun down and shine bright and show the world  what she's made of! or.... something.

Sunset Sgimmer(good)- To settle down and shine as her normal, fun self then is cheerful. Also showing the others who was in the dark, the light.


Have you heard of my past is not today ( sung by sunset shimmer herself ) she makes references to firy things and some firy magical surge happend and she got pheonix wings for a bit. Maybe referencing that she will become an alicorns princes. Any way my point is that the song references a lot of bright an firy things and her cutie mary is very firy

she also has a very fiery, short temper
quotes: "Sunset Shimmer: What do you mean, you don't know how?!"
"Sunset Shimmer: The one you used to erase everyone's memory you manipulative... BLOWHARD!"
"Sunset Shimmer: Where are they?
Juniper Montage: I'll never tell.
Sunset Shimmer: You don't have to."
"Sunset Shimmer: [gasps]
Juniper Montage: What?
Sunset Shimmer: I know you want people to like you. But trust me, the magic in that mirror is only gonna make things worse for you.
Juniper Montage: You're just saying that because you want the mirror for yourself.
Sunset Shimmer: What I want is my friends back. Please, Juniper. You wished them into that mirror. Maybe there's a way you can wish them out.
Juniper Montage: Or maybe... I wish you'd join them!"
"Sunset Shimmer: It wasn't a fit of jealous rage!"
Basically These quotes basically Sunset losing her temper or very close to losing it.


“Let’s analyze some cutie marks friends”

Welp guess we’re friends now


this is old but i thought sunsets cutie mark was a ying yang and the sun pieces represent the little dots, and it is representing her balance of living in the other world than she was born in while still going back to the pony world sometimes. (this also could be why theres no other sunset shimmer unless that was talked about in the new series thing cause i didnt watch all of that)


Setting the Sun, huh, Sunset's destiny may be helping Twilight setting the Sun, which mean helping Twilight with her new rule, but she chose to go to the human world, so, she's not doing that


Well if Sunset Shimmer really has acquired alicorn magic in the human world and represents Twilight's element on that side of the portal, the sun could symbolize her destiny to, alongside Twilight, take over the two sister's roles, becoming the princess of the sun.


"What does Trixie's cutie mark represent? Communism." CALLED IT. XD CAAAAAAAALLED IT.

it makes sense, Trixie wants to have full power, rule by fear, and communism is Unlimited Government, having it to rule by fear or dictatorship

OrinokawaMizuki  now i bet trixie is the princess of night

Trixie' Cutie Mark is actually a redesigned of a proposed CM for Luna. It represents a Star and Crescent, that the Hammer and Sickle was based from.

thebossunicorn123 is........comingisom 😑😑😑😑 baken 🤤🤤🤤🤤

@Juwairiah Omar maybe...but i still died because of the gun

it's a wand and a spiral of magic. her cutie mark shows what she does.  Shows and magic tricks!  even if she only did tricks when she was big, maybe she was  destined  to do it because, Trixie  - tricks+ie .  who  knows?  maybe her parents were the same .

PuffThePuffkin10 Lover9 communism is something the russians had during the cold war

Y'know, when you think about it, it kinda makes sense.

+Sarada Sreeram looks more like communism to me (if this starts a flame war than I apologise in advance)

+Miss Mya  do not just say whatever  GEES LUIS

no, it represents show magic,  her speciality

+thebossunicorn123 In Equestria, you have friendship. In Soviet Equalstria, friendship have YOU.

+The Brony Notion what you said is close.. (is someone from Hasbro watched the vid? because this vid kinda gave Hasbro and idea about Sunset) Her job is to make sure that the balance of the two worlds are in order. that's why there is no Human Sunset Shimmer so when she goes through the human wold she wouldn't disturb the balance that's her talent. what males her special is her magic. her magic is very important to the human world and Equestria that her magic is a source of the two worlds and if its taken the two worlds would be slowly disappear... and if its used that person would destroy more of the two worlds. like my theory?

+Mia Sanchez maybe sunset shimmer is related to Princess Celestia and that's how she ended up her student in the first place!

@Kitty.Loves.Gaming Jones *heard. And you don't need to capitalize every word, hun. :)

I think it represents magic like twilight's

If sunset becomes an slicing I think twilight and sunset will replace celestial and Luna and when cadences child appears on tv soon when she gets older she will replace candence since she's coming to equestria soon and I can't wait I think I deserve a cookie

What's communism? Don't you mean Coltunism?

Her full name is Trixie Lulamoon and her cutie mark kinda shows that

@The Silver Waffle Preeeeeeeeeeetty sure he's joking dude, like it's kind of really obvious.

@The Brony Notion how does it represent communism? She hasn't done any of the acts of communism in the show so I don't think its canon

@Sonata Dusk XD oh god that's perfect, help I'm dying...

@***** 😂 omg vincent are you kitten me right meow #puns

@thebossunicorn123 In Soviet Equestria, magic use you!

@mlp lover. Why are you talking about a dress and you forgot that the fact if there was a twilight in the human world then she would most likely be a baby cuase different dimension diffrent TIME so less likeable for that to be correct

I was listening to him say that as u read it

@darknezfire XD I'll be here all night guys.

actually I'm not that funny, never mind...

@The Brony Notion XD ALL THE UNICORN COMMUNISM.

I actually never thought about that... SUBLIMINAL COMMUNISM!


I believe that Sunset's destiny is to be the element of magic in the human world. :3


I think she setted  the sun and then Luna set the moon and that's how she earned her cutie mark


That last part was absolutely hilarious!


I think sunset shimmer cute mark represent that she wants to go up and gane more because when she was evil she wanted to come more powerful then she already was so I don't think it means that she is good or bad


Great vids here, though how would 1 go about creating a specific cutie mark for self or a spouse(since I am married)?


I think that sunset shimmers cutie mark is a representation oh how she lived with a hoof in each world ( pony and human) for the majority of her lifetime. cause she was in both worlds an equal amount.


ive never actually thought of this, I think this was a really good topic and stuff but I think you could come up with a little bit better conclusions or better anwers to  the question of the cute marks, other wize I really liked this. thank you


Sunset Shimmer's can be called a balance. Like the korean flag represents a balance between Fire and water. Her's kind of represents the balance between two worlds. That of human world and that of pony world, Since she has to use knowledge from both worlds to figure out solutions.


I also identify that some ponies have their cutie mark kind of in their name. Cheese Sandwhich's name IS his cutie mark. Sunset Shimmer too, kind of. But then there are ponies whose names have nothing to do with their cutie mark. Like Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. We don't know what their cutie marks are yet, but how could a cutie mark be related to the name scootaloo? Yeah. Some people make theroys about how differant ponies got their cutie mark, or how they will get their cutie mark. My friend said that Applebloom could get her cutie mark could get her cutie mark by sitting under an apple tree watching the flowers bloom. Even though that makes no sense, it does corespond with her name. See where I'm going with this?

@RachelArtist yes i do and that a nice thory, I have atheory that apple bloom will cutie mark realizing how beautiful whatching apples bloim. getting the apple bloom.

Or they might just bring back Season 3 (which Scotalloo and Sweetie Bell where with a cutie mark) and have Scootaloo with 3 orange butterflies meaning she is free....and Sweetie Belle with a heart to show the love to her friends and family 😀

I think that Scootaloo will get her cutie mark in scootering. Scoot in Scootaloo and scoot in scooter may be linked. I think Sweetie Belle will get hers in singing. This part may not make sense, but in Beauty and the Beast, Belle is the main character who's voice is the most beautiful in town. Also, the belle ringing idea works as well... Just a thought

@Aurora Concord No no no, those are really good ideas! =D

Maybe Scootaloo can get her cutie mark from learning tricks and stuff on her scooter, and Applebloom will turn out to be really good at planting apple trees? Idk, sounds stupid but it's a possibility. Not sure about Sweetiebelle but she seems to be good at singing? Belle, bell. Bell, noise. Noise, voice. Ringing voice, a bell rings.., idk more stupidness from me, but a possibility


Well everypony that we’ve seen that’s special talent was related to magic all had some astronomical symbols (stars, moon, and the sun)


Do another cutie mark analysis I loved it and it totally made sense


about sunset's cutie mark, you probably noticed that a half of the sun is red while the other is yellow. o think that the red half resembles the old goal of setting the sun (like you said), and the yellow resembles the new and reformed sunset, which is now loyal to celestia, and thus resembles her cutie mark. what do you think?


Also, Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark could be a reference to his childish side because children love grilled cheese


The sun could represent the dawn of a new day perhaps?

LizzieBiz? I didn’t know u would be here 👁-👁

I watch your channel The literal songs are funny

No. I think that the sun stands for when in the equestria girls movie that at night at midnight she would be trapped in that land. IDK anymore. ^_^

<b>+Tyrana Lightheart</b> That is perfect. You win best rename.

*+Tyrana Lightheart* That is perfect. You win best rename.

+Kristin Hyser Because "light in the sky/time of day" + "word indicating a refractive property" is a clear naming convention among powerful unicorns whose talent is magic itself. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer, with the possibility of more revealed in the future.

(My personal favorite of possible names using that convention is "Noon Shine". XPPP)

How would that explain her name sunset shimmer

I've seen the song, I was just making a quirky point.

@Frosthunder well after every sunset (evil demon shimmer), there is a sunrise (reformed sunset)<br>check out the song "my past is not today" if you don't believe me.

@Frosthunder well after every sunset (evil demon shimmer), there is a sunrise (reformed sunset)
check out the song "my past is not today" if you don't believe me.

And the "new day" would be the transition from evil to good <br>New day = good

And the "new day" would be the transition from evil to good
New day = good


Just wondering...but does Sunsets cutie mark and name for that matter, represent her personality? I mean she can be over-confident and she, in my opinion, is a very "bright" girl. Like the Sun. It's just an idea...


i think it means she will take on a shining role or maybe the sunset represents the lose of her old self since shes constantly changing


Watching this video makes me happy that other people like mlp besides me, most of my friends tease me for it


I think Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark represents turning from evil to good in the center, but, I think the reason why she has a sunset is maybe she is meant to be a leader like Celestia. Not to get off topic, but  I think that  Sunset Shimmer should replace Princess Celestia, and Twilight Sparkle should replace Princess Luna because Sunset's like the sun, and twilight comes after sunset like night and day, but Sunset is a bit secretive and open like luna, and Twilight is more open all around like Celestia, what do you think. That's my theory of Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. PS: Sunset Shimmer is my FAVORITE character, evil and reformed, mostly reformed. <3  :)


can you do the Cutie Mark Crusaders cutie marks

wait....their colours...

OHHHHHH

THE CANDYCORN CRUSADERS

They meant the meaning of the CMC's cutie marks ( but it's so obvious now )

Skylar Garcia The CMC already have their cutie marks..


Wasn't Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark kinda reveled in Pinkie Pride? Cuz when he was at the party Pinkie held, they had grilled cheese sandwiches, and he was even shown eating one. Since that was the party that inspired Cheese to throw parties, it would make sense as to why he would have a cutie mark relating to it. Why it was the cheese sandwich that was chosen would probably be up to the evidence that you listed in the video.


I’d really like to think sunset will takeover Celestia’s duty of raising and lowering the sun


sunset shimmer's cutie mark looks really similar to celestia's cutie mark! considering she was her old student its something weird to take into account maybe they have some connection i dont know maybe you can do a video looking for the reason of this


I think the reason why Sunset Shimmers cutie mark is a sun is because of her "rebirth". Sun=fire, fire=Phoenix, as if she was destined to become evil and then turn herself around in a "rebirth". Since the cutie marks are supposed to show destiny, I think this is a pretty good analalization. What do you guys think?

So that's the point of the ying-yang sign in her sun!

@Maeva Potvin This pretty much is what I was thinking as well, plus maybe the sun represents that it was originally and could still possibly be to take over sun duties for Cellestia.

Sorry. Miss spelled the word analysation.


I think that the yin-yang symbol in sunset´s cutie mark makes sense. Why? Because the red part of the sun was in the yellow part of the center, and same on the other hand, the yellow part on the red. It doesn´t need the dots, it just would be to obvious.


I KNOW I KNOW! Sunset, WAS destend to over through Celestia, untill, she gave up to friendship, but,we all know you cant change your cutie mark when you get it, so she must've had a good plan all along, its just that she made a mistake in her plan and took the wrong crown. So that means, if she stepped through the portal she WOULD overthrow Celestia, like it or not, its her cutiemark and destiny!


I see the cheese as his comical ness and the accirdian keys as his fun loving musical side.He dies make his songs fun


"what does Trixie's cutie mark represent? Comminusim" omg that made me laugh so FREAKING hard!!!


This' has to do with names not cutie marks but I find it neat: Sunset (the time of day) brings the twilight. Then the twilight brings the starlight. Because Sunset (the character) left Twilight came into the picture. Then Twilight brought in Starlight. Coincidence? I think not! ~ Mintstar


A lot of people are misunderstanding the yin and yang symbol. Its not good ans evil, its the feminin and masculine attributes combined together to make a well rounded person.


I think Shill's cutie mark are glasses. If they're coins there would come in three like applejack or rarity


The yin yen symbol on sunsets shimmer might symbolise the balance which in rainbow rocks she confesses that she knew what she did was wrong


Can u plz do one on badseeds and snips cutie mark because they both have a pair of scissors like if you agree


A "Snip" is also defined as a white spot between the nostrils of a horse. Aside from heavy shears used to cut objects like copper.


sunset's cutie mark could represent her relationship with the mirror because it has two sides


Maybe Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark represents her talent in magic. After all she was one of Princess Celestia's best student in magic.


It think sunset’s cutie mark mean (well the sun pit at least) that when she turned good she and ended her evil ways it was like when you have a bad day then the next day is better. Like from evil to good (basically ending her days of her evil ways)


If you notice in the show, Princess Candace's cutiemark is the crystal heart, even before the Crystal Kingdom is found after 1000 years of absence. With only "A Canterlot Wedding," as a guide, it is led to believe that her special talent is to produce love for other ponies like cupid. So I have always been under the impression that even when your talent is found and your cutiemark discovered, a small piece of you is still yet to be discovered but is still represented in your cutiemark. The same might be true for Sunset Shimmer.

It is my opinion, that her cutie mark significance was to be the heir of Equestria after Princess Celestia was "gone." The pride and arrogance that led to this, caused her to become mad with power. However, now that she is reformed, her cutie mark, as an evolved character, represents the parting of the sun. Sunset representing the passing of the sun so that the moon might visit the sky, this could possibly be that her future is to encourage Luna to take over, if something tragic ever was to happen to Celestia.

FanFic!!

Or she the future Celestia at CHS. Twilight the future Luna at CHS.


I think sunsets cutie mark represents her magic like Twilight


Well she has certain similarities to princess Celestia, so maybe her cutie mark is symbolizing her good leadership and strong heart?


I think your right with that about Celestia because she got her cutie mark before becoming good


That "criss cross design" looks like the rune symbol of war x2 <br>In addition to being argile print

That "criss cross design" looks like the rune symbol of war x2
In addition to being argile print


lol whats trixies cutie mark? ....Communism XD love that part.


Honestly, those who's special talent is magic just seem to have celestial bodies for cutie marks


I think it could go back to your theory video "The Truth About Flurryheart." Sunset Shimmer used to be a pony, and during the time was not very known. When Twilight left the Equestria Girls saga, Sunset Shimmer basically became the Twilight of the Mane Six. However, there was already another Twilight in the " human" world. She becomes evil during the Friendship Games, but Sunset helps and stops her. Your theory that Sunset will eventually hold the element of friendship, doesn't one hundred percent line up with my theories and your current theories. Because the circle in her Cutie Mark is probably supposed to represent Yin and Yang, I believe it shows that a balance of dark and light is needed. However, something isn't lining up. There is a sun surrounding this "Yin Yang" symbol, but it also has a red and yellow side. I still believe that her cutie mark is supposed to show a balance between the fact that she has been evil and is now good still holds, but the sun is surrounding the circles. Could you make a theory video out of the explanation I just spent an hour typing? BTW, your joke at the end about Trixie was beautiful. XD


I have this theory that everypony's cutie mark means the same as their name. That would describe what the cmcs cutie marks would be. Take that for an episode. Alejandra.


SUNSET SHIMMER REBELLED AGAINST HER DESTINY!!!
she was meant to be evil and live against good!!! the same
thing happened to diamond tiara!!! i wonder what would  have
happened if the cutie crusaders weren't there or if twilight
wasn't there..........


It's Argyle! It's not crisscross! It's Argyle! WILL NO ONE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT IT'S ARGYLE?!

same cross argyle thing style can be found on human (not original) twilight a skirt

@IsaiahPotato Did you say Gargoyle? I'M HERE! :D

You got it right this time mate! Good Job! now we can all appreciate Argyle to its maximum

You're not the only one who recognizes the style :)

maybe they could appreciate it more if you spelt Argyle correctly


For sunset shimmers mark... Inner yin/yang-ish is as you said a representation of her transition from evil to good... The outer flames? The worlds she joined together.. (Note how the flames are two different colors bisected almost perfectly down the middle but are blurring a little, representing how her presence in the "human world" has blurred the line between two worlds and lead to the two bleeding into each other a bit...


The middle of Sunset's cutie mark represents her imbalance of anger issues and rationality. XD


I think sunsets cutie mark is a part of her magic as future element of magic and the inside of how she is a part of the human dimension instead


Since sunset is a transitional period maybe it represents her transformation into good


TheBronyNotion: the wanted to over throw celestia, setting the sun<br>Me: idk maybe CUZ HER NAME IS SUNSET, AND THE RED AND YELLOW IS THE COLOUR SCATTERED when the sun sets, sunset.

TheBronyNotion: the wanted to over throw celestia, setting the sun
Me: idk maybe CUZ HER NAME IS SUNSET, AND THE RED AND YELLOW IS THE COLOUR SCATTERED when the sun sets, sunset.


Sunset is technically the Twilight in Equestria Girls and just like how Twilight has the star, Sunset has a sun. Which both can represent the element of magic!


BGM for this video...I think it's from Season 1 and I think William Anderson wrote it. I think it was in one of the CMC episodes and Party Of One.


Sunset Shimmer's cutie mark means when she was evil she turned good. The dark part of her cutie mark is evil and the light part of her cutie mark is good.


trenderhoof's cutiemark is a pattern and since he's a fashion writer he needs to be able to recognize the patterns in trends


SUNset shimmer, the shape of her cutie mark represents her name, and on that thought, why are names so simalar to their destiny?

@Sapphire Flames Ikr, it's strange that Pinkie's parents named her that because they lived and worked on a rock farm. Rock farms usually neither have pink or pie.

@Hogan Hogan I always thought that destiny and fate needed a visual and a written representation....

I have no idea you should tell the brony notion and other. Mlp fans like me.

I've noticed that allot too. I wonder what would happen if a pony figured that out. If a pony did it would change everything about Equestria. This is something someone could probably discuss for a descent amount of minutes.

At first I thought that ponies parents already knew their filly destiny but now I think that their cutie marks represent their name and who they are, since they had their name before their cutie mark


When she was celestia's student celestia must of thought that if sunset shimmer could complete her job of what ever celestia must of thought it would be a good idea that she would give her the power of an alicorn and when celestia  dies she would take her place as queen of the sun


Have you ever noticed that all of the mane six has three syllables in their name but twilight doesn’t


What if maybe Sunset's cutiemark actually made both her and Celestia, before Celestia saw how power-hungry her pupil was, believe she had to replace Celestia, that she had to eventually take her place and raise and set the sun?


when the brony guy makes a pun

everybody that isnt me: BOO!!!

me: HAHA OMG LOL GOOD ONE!


Trixie's Cutie Mark is actually a modified form of a Star and Crescent. Other similar CMs are owned by Night Light (Twilight Sparkle's father) and Moon Dancer (Twilight's childhood friend).

See also Sailor Moon's Wand.
http://pre06.deviantart.net/3a17/th/pre/i/2015/302/2/1/crescent_moon_wand_with_crystal_by_fireflea_san-d6mcnv7.png

And yes, the Hammer and Sickle of the Soviet Communism does resemble a Star and Crescent, maybe the Soviet intentionally did that?
https://derpicdn.net/img/2012/8/5/67533/full.png

Twilight's name also alludes to the kanji 明 ≈ Sun and Moon aka Two Lights. Another 'Star' and Crescent. Pronounced as Chinese "Ming", or "Mei" in Japanese.
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/de/94/34/de9434cb76d7940c4566b8463d8d5b1f.jpg

What if there's indeed an Equestria and its symbol is a Star and Crescent or an Eclipse? (see Secret Space Program disclosure)

Though the current meaning of Trixie CM is that it's of her Mane and Wand, that happened to be in shape a Star and Crescent.

Most likely Trixie's CM was planned for either Luna or Twilight, before they Let It Go, Let It Go,…

Poor Trixie…


I think that when sunset lived in ponyville she would of took celastia's place to rasing the sun scence she left she no longer can raise the sun so them it changed to showing she always sees the best in evreyone.


i think that if Sunset Shimmer actually stayed Celestia's student then Sunset  Shimmer and Twilight would rule Equstria together. Twilight would control the moon and the dream realm and Sunset would control the sun. it's all in their names and cutie marks


hmmm, with a sunlike cutie mark maybe Sunset  is to take celestia's place and Twilight with her starlike (stars go with the moon) cutie mark is to take Luna's place.... instead of the assumption I feel that is usually brought up of Twilight in celestia's place. I think you've mentioned Sunset possibly having more magic than twilight (unless I'm getting all my video watching mishmashed), so why shouldn't she get more of the spotlight role?


I think Sunset Shimmer gets her star from her name. SUNset Shimmer.

there must be another reason behind it. Not just her name.


I think that cutie marks that have unexplained meanings just have no meaning and the creator (Lauren Faust) just decided for the cutie mark to just match their name like cheese sandwich and sunset shimmer and it is nothing important. The twist of the theory would be if it has no meaning then how did they get it I could be totally wrong but who knows maybe Lauren Faust just never thought out how they got it and just made the decision of that cutie mark. <br>???

it's  because  sunset  was  celestia's  student  and  was  very  clever  until   she  became  obsessed  with  twilight  being  the  best  and  the  portal. I'm  not  sure  but  I  think  she  was  supposed   to  be  an  alicorn  if  you  watch  yum  soda  sunset's  past   you'll  see  celestia  and  Luna  saying, do  you  think  she   is  ready  sister,no  I  feel  a evil  in  her.then  sunset  copied  T wilights   test  but  got  caught

that's  what  I  think!


Maybe ponies are given a name then they have the goal of like getting the perfect cutie mark to go with it or maybe they are just given a name that relates to the family?


My Little pony is coming together so quickly it's exiting and awesome!!!!! Secrets!!!!!!


Congrats you are my third favorite reviewer, beaten by voice of reason and silver quill

Thank you, you are very polite, I hope to one day be an actual reviewer, though I can confirm I'm a brony instead of a pegasister because kimi sparkle ruined it for me.

Voice of reason is pretty awesome! I haven't sat down and watched any of Silver Quill's videos yet, but I plan to soon. I'm honored☺


You know that video you made about the alicoron civilisation? The sun could mean that she WILL overthrow celestia, just not in the way you think. She could be celestias REPLACEMENT!


sunset shimmer was once celestias student (which explains the sun) and probably she got her cutie mark just like twilight after she became celestias star student. but if she returned to equestria she could probably catch up on her studying and become another 1 of celestias student along with twilight.i bet celestia has access 2 other dimensions and has students in each of those dimension. plz comment


Sunset's cutie mark looks like a pheonix! XD :D

I bet it IS a phoenix!


What about the flames around the yin yang shape in her cutie mark?  They could represent the dots so it doesn't totally mimic it.


OMG!!! Trixie works with Stalin that explains so much XD XD XD<br>


I think sunset shimmer's cutie mark means that she has both darkness and light in her destiny, anyway in equestria girls Twilight sparkle said after sunset had become the monster was that "Tonight you have shown every one who you really are" So the darkness was a part of her destiny but soon the destiny of light grew bigger.For me I think that both darkness and light as her cutie mark represents sunset shimmer.


his name is "trenderhoof" which probably hints that he is trendy and works really well with patterns


I think part of his theory on Sunset Shimmer is correct the evil and good.But does he not remember that She can do that thing with the sunrise and rises up and gets a Phoenix pair of wings and tail.


Well me the Little German kid ... Um I am 13 But ok. I think after I have seen from MLP so far is that Sunset have a bigger role in equestria to Play than in the human world Just Like Starlight . Maybe they will be the next Generation of princesses how Rules equestria. Or she is Just a normal Pony ... <br>My Theory: Sunset is probably a alicorn But she can't Show it . Then there Must be Like the Battle Thing with midnight sparkle and voila she is a alicorn and her Cutie Mark Well there is the sun and the Red yellow Thing is something with magic or alicorn before alicorn

Trixie's cutie mark is a wand with magic aroad it meaning Trixie is a magic trick artist


Well, since she doesn't seem to have an Earthian counterpart, Maybe it represents that she is Earth's Celestia. Really bad theory I know but kinda true unless her Earthian Counterpart shows up.


I think Sunset Shimmer used to help Princess Celestia setting and rising the sun. When Sunset Shimmer abandoned her studies, she might of succeeded her destiny or something. Think about it, Sunset converted from Evil to Good. If there was a balance in Sunset`s cutie mark, then Sunset would be a totally different person. (pony in the Equestria case) Like you said in your "Is Sunset an Alicorn Now?" video, Sunset succeeded her Destiny in a good way. She`s became another pony in the pony world. Without Sunset, We would have no EG movies. No Equestria Girls, No Rainbow Rocks, and No Friendship Games. If Sunset joined the Sirens, their will not be a Friendship Games. The Sirens will be the only ones living. Equestria and all of the pony Universe will be dead. (nopony will be surviving except the Sirens)


The sun could mean that she is destined to take over from celestia and twilight from Luna. Then would that make flurry heart take over from her mother?
