maybe the reason the ponies are the only ones to have cutie marks is because they evolved with them. e.g. how humans are the only creature on earth to possess cognitive and physical traits that allow us to build and research to advance our selves without the need to evolve.


I think the dark blotches of lunas cutie mark is part of it but it does not have the same symbolic meaning as the moon


Maybe at some point in time a strong pony magician or pony magicians cast a powerful spell that created ponykind's ability to earn cutie marks? Like in the Eragon series, where elves and humans were linked with the dragons and they all sides were affected for posterity, but not other races in Algaesia like dwarves? This would explain why others have no cutie marks-they weren't included in the spell?


I think Luna is kind of like my OC because as you see I turn from red to black, and Luna probably has skin conditions. like on some people how one part of there skin will be white and some brown colors. Don't get offended because I have a cousin like this, so im not offending you right?


And I guess a zebra could be considered a pony... There are no other ones that we know of in equestria though...


I believe that animals that are not ponies don't have cutie marks BECAUSE they get to change and choose there fates (talking like brave) and they don't have to wait and for there cutie marks to tell them what to do and tell EVERYONE who they are non ponies and be free and as secretive as they like!


Maybe it's because people only brand horses. Ever think about that?<br>Cutie marks ARE based off of branding, after all.

snails cutie mark simply means slow and steady will triumph those who think to fast and dont take the time to do anything cautiously


Maybe ( Zecora?) found a way to deserve/get cutie mark.


I always thought that Luna was an appoloosa


What if Luna looked at Celestia as a goddess... Because the Sun is what makes the moon complete. (The moon reflects light of the Sun creating light) And Celestia is a threat because of that. Some people think Luna should be the "Goddess" because Luna is the "moon bringer" and Celestia is the "Sun bringer" and the Sun is a star. Even though the Sun is what gives light to us during the night.


Maybe it has something to do with EUP cause only unicon earth and pegasus have cutie marks or just that they have to have a special talent that's why everypony (except for filly's) have a cutie mark


I think that possibly the cutie mark is a symbol to only ponies because of Queen Cylestia... You see that she's the ruler over governing 'ponies' nothing in the episodes gives you facts that she governs the other characters either. So, I think that maybe the power for others to have cutie marks is disabled because she only governs ponies. Although, there are other towns and places so.... this would mean that there would be a secret society of rulers that are ponies that distinguished that ONLY ponies that they govern can have cutie marks that represent where they live? I thought long and hard.


have u ever noticed that with all of the maine 6 (except Twilight), their cutie mark have three things on them. Applejack=3 apples, Rarity=3 jewels, Fluttershy= 3 butterflies, Pinkie Pie= 3 balloons, and Rainbow Dash= 3 different colors on the rainbow, but it is a little weird with Rainbow's cutie mark

illuminati - a secret organization with a pyramid and an eye on the top of dah pyramid. it's on the American dollar bill.

@lily dragonhart  <br>Illuminati confirmed? what is dat? im not a very sereous brony as u can tell

@lily dragonhart
Illuminati confirmed? what is dat? im not a very sereous brony as u can tell


if you look at flim and flams cutie marks, you'll see that both pieces have a stem and leaf. so they aren't actually from the same apple, maybe that has something to do with the dishonesty factor? i dunno its a stretch even to me.


My cutie mark is a big rainbow musical note, it shows that I am a lover of all kinds on music, but it being big means I have an open mind filled with weird but wonderful thoughts


<b>Ahem</b> SUNset SHIMMER? her name has Sun and shimmer in it! Also, on his last question, and I'm sure some of you guys said this, FOR GOD'S SAKE IT'S 'my little pony' not "my little equline"!!! (a family that includes horses& the lot...)

igota theory on why luna has a black splat around her cutie mark. it is basically a ponyfied version of a old story i jsut remembered.
warning, the following theory will make you shit enough bricks to build a home for everyone on this planet.

my theory is, that she sat in black paint.


Maybe Hasbro is just being lazy. Because in the christal empire part 1 and 2 there were only 3 cutie marks that seem to appear on everypony in the empire besides the mane 6. pun...try to find it


I see no reason why mules shouldn't be able to have cutie marks. After all, they're only half donkey. I'd assume the other half would most likely be pony.


the dark blothes are part of luna. she was born with them!


Horses have cutie marks and zebras and opines as metieoned in the second or first trixe episode


Only ponys get cutie marks because ponys can be friends. What about the baffalos or zacora? I know your asking. They have truces. They don't play or laugh together


Ponds have more than one type while mules are mules and so forth


What if the blotch was a stain left behind by the darkness of nightmare moon?


Make a vid on vinyl's cutie mark what does her cutie mark represent I'm trying to wonder what her cutie mark is for but when there is a party she plays the DJ's but I wonder why


the flick-flank bro's probably don't have that on their cm's because then everypony would see what they're up to


i think snips has short attention span ad he snaps out of what he tried to think about and cut his thoughts before he thinks things through<br>snails is just slow

i think snips has short attention span ad he snaps out of what he tried to think about and cut his thoughts before he thinks things through
snails is just slow


I think cutiemarks are based on the pony's name, like applejack = apples, Luna = moon, celestia = da sun, so on, in mean, its just my theory.

That can't work think of it pinkie pie, moud, rainbow dash, flip, and flam


It's because I looked up the photo of zucoras cutie mark and I found out her cutie mark means the sun god...and she is good at being wize and the simbol on her flank and it also means wize.


The cutie marks only appear on ponies because they have magic 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 and then destiny affects them in a different way


what about lunas mane? i mean in season 1 her mane was normal but in 2 and 3 and 4 its flowing? how? we didnt see an episode about how she get her mane flowing


I think zacoras cuti mark is for potions


zecara is a type of pony that's why she has a cutie mark


The three colors stand for the wonderbolts


its cause in that episode in the song it shows only lunas moon part of her cutie mark


Zecora was born by a pony and a zebra so it is a cutie mark


okay what i think is (for luna) she was born with it AND YES I KONW IT'S SHORT i just havent thought about it much BUT i konw (have an idea) whp the shadow pony is :)


since a pony's cutie mark explains there personalitie like my cutie mark is a crystal with a heart in it over a fire which means love will be hopeless at first but be strong at the end which explains why my pony's personalitie is hope and love so snips and snail cutie mark does really explain there personalitie but there name but then if there name is there cutie mark does that mean snips and snail's personalitie in there cutie mark is a mystery?.


Maybe only Pony's get cutie marks because, 1. The show is called My Little PONY 2. It might have something to do with Alicorns. IDK on that. 3. It might have to do with the elements of harmony. Also Discord it PART pony but he does not have a cutie mark.


you know how pipsqeak has spots?
So does luna
the end


Ponys have cutie marks becouse  thay are magic i know cows and stoff can talk but thay are not colored  like ponys so thay dont have as much  magic  and thay look like stoff from earth


Im AMAZED! I should put my pony OC Clementine and she what it means. Do you think you  might know?


As per said ponies all have the ability to acess magic but cutie marks span across all magic


i am not sure about derpys cutie mark why is it seven bubbles when normaly on a pony the is up to three marks on the flank so why does derpy have 7

yes i love derpy but this is the one question i have been wondering about


I think only ponies have cutie marks because they are the dominant species?


Um I think that the dark plots on Luna are just a birth Mark


also my cutie mark has the primary colors which represents the rainbow


As much as I love mlp,
I have2 say,they,are,fake!
How can a pony be blue or pink or white or yellow or purple or
………orange I guess is fine but u get the point


I have hardly any proof on what I think, but I think that ponies just have magic-pocket-things inside thair plots were the cutie marks are. AKA, ponies have magic butts and everyone/everypony else dose not.Making Zecroa's cutie mark not a cutie mark,or I'm wrong completly.And if I am incorrect, Zecora was born with her cutie mark.But the swirl of the mabe-cutie-mark can be a potion being sirred and the triangels are markings on the pot that the potion is being sirred in, wich makes since for me.It macks since because thair are many times in the show that Zecora is making a potion. I haven't wached the show in a while...All the things I said could be wrong, or right.I have vary little proof...


what do you mean in season 4 Luna looses her cutie mark? O_O


Well maybe because they are the oily one one with horn ,wings<br>


Zecoras is a zebra and she has a cutie mark 😕


right before you showed the definition of flim-flam i searched it up on google and when i got back, guess what the next few seconds showed?


I think the black blotch on Luna is a scar mabey?


Zebras are in the pony/horse family... Are they?


Maybe its genetic that ponies have cutie marks


If sectoral had a cuite mark then us would have to do with potion making and what I don't get is why she speak is rhyme but in trouble with tribbles she dope a sentence with no rhyme


im pretty sure somepony just sprayed black ink on lunas flank...


I think zecoras cutiemark is not a tatoo ...
its looks mpre like an african symbol , and maybe they look doffrent because of another origin.
She is a Zebra so maybe there is just a country for zebras , and they do have magic but another kind of , voodoo. When ever watch something about afrika you ever see that the most people there belives in voodoo and shamans
so maybe Zecoras cutiemarks represend something of her magic, mixing magic potions


Flin and flam cutie marks complete each other -yin yang complete each other


There is one pony that doesn't have a cutiemark it is Crysalis.<br>


Wait I have the theory that science honesty is an apple and flimflams Apple marks aren't the whole apple so nor the whole truth


only actual characters get cutie marks. It makes sense right? so if anyone ask u who r the characters say" look for the cutie mark!"


ponies are the only ones cause they are magical


I got it it is CUTIE marks and the only cute thing in the show that can actually do human stuff are PONIES that's why they get CUTIE marks


maybe they'll explain this in season 5?S5 S5 S5 pls come sooooon...


Zecora is a zebra and a zebra is a kind of pony


I think why Zacora I don't know how you spell it, back to what I was talking about I think she was from the past in the tribal times, hey just I'm like Dr. Who she may be a time traveler maybe she needs a time traveler who is with me!?!<br>


I have seen the movie and it was a cut out of twiight made by snipps


Why is your cutie mark a music note.<br>


the point of snip is that he snips though thoughts.


lunas cuteymark is only a moon. why do i say this because some ponys have bodypaderns.lunas is just where cuteymark is.


Well hasbro once make them only ponys with cutie marks and dint Wanned to change the tradición zecora coms from a tribu and that is a actual tatoo


or, you know, LUNA HAS FREAKING MARKINGS LIKE PIPSQUEAK OR ZECORA.... I always get so mad about this, I dont know why... sorry, just had to get that out =/


Life you put filim and flam's cutie mark together you get a hole Apple


Isn't it possible that Flim Flam's cutie marks don't actually fit = FALSE ADVERTISING


Zecora is a pony her tribe striped her so she wouldn't be different they sent her away when she made a potion and got her cutie mark :D :) :D


Which Episode is the one that Luna loses her Cutie Mark?


You had a pic of Derpys and dr.whooves cutie mark I thought you were going to anylize  them

He (briefly) analyzed Derpy's cutie mark at the end of the first video, but knowing as little as we do, it's hard to say much about it.  Dr Whoove's mark is a pop-culture reference, so there's not really much to analyze (less so, since he's never had a single line of dialogue to compare it with).


Snails is not smart his brain  is slow Snipps  has a hair cutt


Snails name snails and snips scissors ^_^


I think that discord was not star swerld a bearded before.<br>


2:43 MOLESTER MOON 🌚🌚NOPE AINT TYPING IT THREE TIMES!!!!!


Zecroa's cutie mark is maiby a wichis pot


maybe the lightning bolt on rainbow dash's cutie mark means she is fast like lightning ? and its rainbow , well, you know why. i also think for flim and flam, since one cutie mark is a almost whole apple, missing a piece(the other apple slice cutie mark.) and since they are twins, they are not complete without one another.  i also think only cutie marks appear on ponie because well, ponies are magical no matter what !!  plus, the dark blotch on luna surrounding her cutie mark is just part of luna, its not part of her cutie mark !


I think its because come on their like the only animals that are ponies with wings, horns, or both like the monsters are magical but these ponies have something specail like every pony


snip cuts a rope in a comic without trying maybe that's something


Maybe the dark spots are her birth mark?


maybe lunas bloggers are what's left of nightmare moon


Ponies get cutie mark because... uh REASONS AND PLOT DEVELOPMENT


I think her leg, she got evilfied. Not a word but check out ink rouse.


don't ponys names match their cutie marks


Uh you know that splosh of black on luna plot that's a bit nmm that never went away.


R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me


Why only Ponys? -as also posted in Pt.1 Idea behind 'the Mark',

There was a neat 'darkfic' all-hollows eve vid seen regards to the mark.

While it would seem bs, though kewl as its tying in with "Puppet to her fame",
it still raises some neat ideas & questions.
(ps, if not seen  reading of said story... DO IT! DO IT NOW!! , lulz ;')
-see @*****

The question of how perhaps that Ponys might not have always been as are now, which would be likely given a "change over time" nature of things, forgoing unlike OUR world a straightup 'pure-creationist' standing, that there world/verse is much younger perhaps than ours and still in a realitively 'new/god-shaped' form of things 'put a certain way' that hasn't had time to fully deviate from.

Still, there is also the idea that their world is MUCH older as suggested by "Leviethan" read by @Illya Leonov  by said leviethan. That such creatures were perhaps like dinosaurs for our world these 'demon-lords' were more numberous but all now died out or in the deepest parts of the world come appocalypse.

In this way, perhaps Ponys came to sentience from simpler natures akin to horses our side but given some spark like akin to us humans some such, being that "animals" for their world moreoverall having thought rather than just one race or other.
That these Ponys might not however been their own overlords?

Perhaps such a being as Leviethan in power held the world in a slavemaster's grips and had his pony workers a brand as to what laybor he would have them do.
At some point power as always does changes hands or hooves, with The Marks becoming something else.

Rather than a symbol of oppression that akin to "The Cutie-pox" forces or compels one towrds a specific or asigned skillset, instead became bound deeper-magic to Pony kind that rather responded to the Ponys when they found their chosen/destined skills or talents or love.  AND Perhaps this would be as to why to what is known/shown that Only PONYs have such marks, that they were the Slave-Race who bore 'The Mark' as tied to darker magics.

Thus why it is yet still through such darker arts one might call forth a prefered
"cutie mark" as in the case of Octavia in "a puppet to her fame", but at a cost...

^_-  peace.

@Shelly Kirby *flappjacks

Potato , Tomato... two different things. /)

"ponies" ie 'small horses', "Ponys" aking to 'Bronys' or 'Bronies' a matter of spelling,
But again, when saying MLP it is understood to mean Gen4 / FiM, and not say 3.5?  ^_-

Other than just stylistic preference, also predesignation to mean
"small horses' of the MLP variety", sorta like how Fannon is sorthand for 'Fandom group-collectively agreed/sorted Head-canon'

We often use specific alterations on normal or usually "proper" grammer such as shorthand or spelling to signify a given meaning or idea unspokenly.

Ofcourse I can't say how popular yet the term "fannon" or to say Ponys as shorthad meaning the 'pony-race of Equestria' like Humans refering to humanity overall or the "human-race".  So if I say ponies instead of ponys or Ponys, I & others likely mean "small horses of our world."  ^-*./)

why are there cutie marks on there plots


I have a theory (which also is part of my fan mythology of Equestria)

Well you see, the ponies are the chose race. Just imagine their ruler is a God and it is a pony. The fact that they live in a world that nothing eve goes wrong (like a hurricane that creates deviations or hunger, or wars) it is because they were chosen from the beginning from those more powerful and mysterious. You see the ponies are all magicals because of their natural hope as well as resistance to evil. Even thought everything goes wrong ponies are always the first to find a solution (which confuses me since I believe there should be more species, not only ponies. And I really doubt that Equestria is the whole world.) I believe that the mysterious beings chose the ponies from any other sentient race because they were pure, they were kind and not afraid to do what is necessary to fight for good and right (Just like the Main six represent).


Probably because Ponies are a lot more magical


how come all of  the ponies cutie marks match their name but not the cutie mark crusaders. Example apple jack. her name has apples in it, and here cutie mark is apples. here is an another example rainbow dash. she got her cutie mark by doing a sonic rain boom. and her cutie mark shows a sonic rain boom. plz do a vid on this


How is Celestia able to raise the moon while Luna is banished if that is not her "talent/cutiemark"?


i think that is a cutie mark cuz she looks alot like a pony only that shes a zebra and donkies do look like ponys but not that much


Ponies are made up. Other animals are real and made without cutie marks originally only ponies are made with them.


It think the black thing is like a birth mark or something.....


It's called my little PONY and it a cartoon


Explain Octavia's. Octavia plays a cello. A cello is a bass instrument, but her cutie mark is a treble cleff. wtf?

@TheAmazingBronies while a cello is a bass instrament, I believe Octavia is a master of all of the strings. So the treble cutie mark more represents the violin and fiddle than the cello.

She's all about that bass! No treble! I'm sorry.... I just had to do it! Lol :P

@TheAmazingBronies Me and your mom did too

@TurquioseTurtle456 Me and your mom used some profanity last night.

Sorry for profanity I thought I was texting my friend

@TurquioseTurtle456  because i am to lazy to right the entire thing

@lps epic Fails Ugh, why does everyone say "cuz I'm all about that bass no trouble" when its actually "Because you know I'm all about that bass 'bout that bass no trouble"

Well She Likes music So Can She play Everthing

cuz im all about that bass bout that bass no treble XD


sunset shimmer her cutie mark is kind of like celestias  could they be related but if  they where sunset would have wings and be a more edvance alicorn then twilight it dosent make any sence could she be related to princes celestia and princes luna can  that be possible kim possible subscribe im  joking


my cutie mark is a four leafed clover, most people thinks is lucky right? well in my life I seem to never end up in trouble, like the day before I had to get a tooth pulled it fell out (and 5 other teeth fell out as well) witch is pretty lucky if you ask me... but a four leafed clover if different and out of place against every other 3 leafed clover, and like me im the oddball, the really random type, like derpy, an oddball as well, even tho I may seem dumb to everyone, I am very smart inside my own head, like how I found out to warp the holidays on my video game with common sence, yet the last thing anybody thinks off.

so my point is that I am different like the 4 clovers are to all the other 3 clovers, but everybody love's 4 leafed clovers don't they? (giggle)


Please stop with the puns, their not funny

You know, I'm pretty certain every cutie mark has a deeper meaning then what's on the surface, which only makes them all the more awesome, and fun to analyze :D


Due to my belief that Zecora seems to wield an alchemy related magic I find it unlikely that possession of a cutie mark is directly correlated with magical power, but with another trait that it unique to ponies. One fact to consider is that this is most definitely not the only difference between the ponies and the other mammals in the show, for one thing ponies have extremely different mane, tail, and coat color as compared to the other species. Ponie's manes, tails, and coats are normally of a color not normally natural for their species, occasionally even a fluorescent color, while the other animals display more natural tones. Normally an odd unnatural colored pigment in an organism is due to a mutation or due to the fact that this creature is poisonous or highly dangerous. Odd mutations can be found in almost any organism given the right scenarios and warning signals can be found in the brightly colored poison dart frogs, as well as many other organisms. Neither of these possibilities can be completely disregarded, however I believe that the latter is the closest to the truth. Perhaps around the same time when ordinary ponies might have evolved into super strong earth ponies, soaring pegasi, and magic wielding unicorns they might have also gained these neon hues as well as Cutie Marks. What better way to show predators that you are dangerous and most definitely not suitable prey than to display your best skills and assets right on your flank. Although it is unlikely that the beasts will recognize these symbols, there may be one or two, such as a glimmering claw or a razor sharp knife that might click in their minds as potentially dangerous. And anyways, as shown in an episode if season four, many of these predators are only slightly less intelligent as the ponies if not just as intelligent. I think it would make sense if the ponies had evolved over time to display cutie marks. And possibly, if the theory presents in the first analyzing cutie marks video is true, these cutie marks could have also evolved to reflect personality traits.


My guess is that ponies are inherently magical beings and their magic just happens to manifest itself in a visual representation of their most emotionally fulfilling talent.


Luna could just assume the look of an Appaloosa, the real life horses with spotted hindquarters. It would make her cutie mark Moon look like its in a dark sky.


I think the dark blotches represent darkness (A.K.A, Nightmare Moon) and the moon itself is Luna in a way giving off a light from her innocent heart to protect her from being completely corrupted by Nightmare Moon, and when she looses the moon, I think the black part just means that the darkness of night will always be with her, or... NIGHTMARE MOON IS STILL AROUND!


My thoughts on why Zecora's cutiemark might be a tattoo.<br>As we all (might) know, the cutiemark appears because of spectra, which is a type of magical element of a pony. Zebras (most likely) don't have any type magic, except witchcraft. Theoretically, they won't have any spectra to make the cutiemark appear, which would be why they don't have a cutiemark.

If you ask me it ties into her more the tattoo  represents more of a mystery the outer spikes represent Celestia while the inner spiral represents a mystery even I do not understand computing yet always happy to help until the next time you have questions I will have answers


For unicorns I think the cutiemark represents their mane choice of spell rarity's is jewel finding and shining armour is magical barriers which is probably what the pink star really represents as twilight just specialises in all magic<br>For other ponies its a little different as their magic is subconscious according to the episode about how equestria was settled.

Zecora has always had this magic to her. She can make drinks appear, she can create potions, and she even trained Twilight in the ways of focusing on her magic to use it. I think that Zecora's mark means that she enlightens people (or ponies if you want to talk that way) and helps guide them to understanding themselves,. In a way, the sun does as well! I don't know if my assumptions seem out-of-it, or if they even make sense! I just got to thinking about it. The way she talks with rhymes and takes time to explain things...


I think zecoras special talent is potion brewing. The swirl represents stirring the potion and the triangles represent petals and other elements of potion brewing. Do you think you could do a video explaining in further details your thoughts on this matter?<br>BTW Zecora is best zebra ;)

I think that cutie marks are just part of the magic inherent in ponies, which is what makes them different. Donkeys, mules, minotaurs, and others have not been shown to use magic. I think zebras use a different kind of magic, which might explain why Zecora has a cutie mark of sorts.


I know it's been ages since you uploaded this but I only just got round to watching it. I got an idea about zecora's cutie mark. say that pony's are the equivalent to humans and they are smarter than other creature's this intelligent is represented in a cutie mark and zebras are just like pony's but in a different area and zecora's cutie mark is healer which use herbs as zecora always uses herbs of witch craft as when we first sore her every one thought she was using vodo.


if you look closely you can see the flim has a small apple slice vs flam's big slice representing unfair deal or one more benefited than the other as shown in their first appearance giving themselves more money than the apples. Also both marks has a stem where real apples only have one showing false advertising as in their second appearance (just a thought)


I was at school one day and out of nowhere I started thinking of MLP, when I started talking to my friends I was making a joke of "if the ponies have cutie marks why don't humans?" My friends thought I was just joking and laughed. Then I started thinking about it "what if humans can get cutie marks but they never figured out what they are good at, which explains why no human has any" I know that's not true and all, but it was a strange explanation to that and my friends, that are bronies, and I found the idea very amazing


pony's must be magical in a different way my theory is that magic is like a sound wave or light wave just a different kind when pony's have found their talent they are more magical than blank flanks so zecora's must be a tattoo or a birthmark but since she isn't a pony she used magic through other thing like plants also the 4 alicorn must hit different wavelengths of powerful magic to be alicorns hence they can cast powerful spells and their health is slowly being regenerated and the white eye thing wicth the channel so much magic its hard to control if you new to it


Maybe there is more to the differences?
As of yet, there is just the one Zebra, named Zecora.
As opposed to the Donkeys and Mules, Zecora is more then the cheap Pun, she is actively partaking in the stories.
Is she perform magic similiar enough to Pony Magic, why not expect the mark to follow after a similiar pattern?

From a point, she is suppiosed to be similiar, just so mysterious, she had to be portraid so differently there is something to fearfrom her.  she needs more then a different speach, in part since both the Apples and Rarity clearly speak differently, compared with most other Ponies?


It could also be the reason Tirek (Hope I spelled that right) took magic from the 3 tribes and not non-ponies. Or it could be star-swirl's cough cough Discord Cough Cough  magic gone wrong.

It could also be the reason Tirek (Hope I spelled that right) took magic from the 3 tribes and not non-ponies. Or it could be star-swirl's *cough cough* Discord *Cough Cough*  magic gone wrong.


I think its because pony's can become princesses, like Twilight and Cadence. I haven't seen a Zebra princess or a Donkey princess. Any ways pony's carry magic in the tribes they are in, Earth Ponies are the strongest, Unicorns have magic and Pegasi have their wings and can stand on clouds. The cutie marks symbolize their destinies and like Twilight's cutie mark it shows that she was meant to be a princess. The whole thing on Luna... I think either she was born with that little black splotch or it represents her as Night Mare Moon...


I think the reason only ponies have cutie marks is that ponies value destiny and control of their lives more than the other races.

The others may not believe that one's place in life is set, so they don't need a mark to tell them their place.


I think your right about the tattoo because zecora likes mixing potions and brews and her mark doesn't look like anything about potions this is just a opinion.


Hey brony notion, zecora's mark means the healer, the shaman, or the first shaman which in essence what she is with her potions and so on. Also she is generally a healer since the past two times she has been put in she has been trying to help heal the ponies of an affliction or solve a problem in general.


If you check Zecora's wiki page, the mark on her flank IS a cutie mark! She is notably the only non-pony character to have one.


(i always thought the reason luna has the black splotches on her flank is because when she turned into nightmare moon it corrupted her in a way that could never be cured making the black spot appear, when she got turned back that black spot was still there and it was the same color as her pelt when she was nightmare moon. Maybe shes infected and can willingly turn into nightmare moon as she pleases? in lullaby for a princess celestia says something about a limelight taking hold of the mind of its hosts i think that was the dark energy that caused it to appear and made her mane change colors. In part 2 of the first episode that blue blob was following twilight and her friends around and it looked alot like lunas mane which changed in the second season into the shape of it. Maybe she may change back into nightmare moon in season 4 or maybe even 5?)


Well, with Zecora if you look at it, you realize it's a Tribal Image of the SUN.  Where else would you go to get closer to the Sun than to head to Equestria, where its Monarch is strictly tied to it?


Have anyone else noticed that Cadence's cutie mark features the crystal heart?


I think Zecora has a cutie mark for 3 possible reasons...

1. Maybe a family member was a pony.

2. Zebra's are basically just ponies with stripes.

3. Maybe in some back story she was granted it...


I think the blotch on Luna's flank is part of her coat, like how pipsqueak is double colored .


I think Zcoreo's mark  represents her speaking in rhymes which is associated with witchcraft but she is because she's kind of a witch doctor. But the spiky part I have no idea...


I have an idea on Luna and why she still had the black markings when her cutie make disappeared. She's an appaloosa. It makes sense.


Btw look at the elements of harmony shards and count them. There are at least five shards so I think it's the rest of the mane 6 besides the element of harmonys spirit or one of the mane six but for twilight there are at least seven two for her parents, three for the princesses,  and two for shining armor and spike. I think it doesn't show the other mane six on the element cause she already has them on her real cutie mark this is my own opinion


Okay, I didn't realize this until I put on my headphones. But I can hear some pops from the microphone and some slight background noise. I recommend you use Audacity to clean up the audio and put a pop filter on your microphone, if you can't do that, a sock works too. (unless you are using a headset microphone, in which case ignore what I said)

Just trying to be helpful, but other then that, keep up the awesome work.


I didnt think it was a cutie mark! Luna's blotches are rather natural, but if it was part of her cutiemark, it would've made sense if it meant that she could walk in ponies dreams, because it kinda looks like a dream bubble/cloud.


Hmm... I'm quite puzzled about The Flim Flam Brothers. What do their cutie marks actually mean? Considering that they, as you said, spam the other ponies (consumers/buyers/etc.) with fake or non-working items. (Example: In the episode when AppleJack got her Rainbow Reflection from the coin the other pony gave her) So, should the Flim-Flam brother's have a different cutie Mark? What does It mean as I said before, how does it show what the pony resembles,what their personality means or what their personal experiences with other ponies are?


I think Luna's black parts on her flank are body markings that go along with her cutie mark. Once I saw Season 4 Finale, I thought the 4 circles represented Unicorns, Pegasi, Earth Ponies, and Non-Pony creatures, and they go along with the cresent moon because she raises and lowers the moon for all 4 groups, and the black parts just popped up with her cutie mark, or they started to show as she got older.


The cutie mark also represents there magic so it is possible zacora has no magic but in my opinion I think her cutie mark represents her home how she travels and spread the nature of her culture so it may be the sign of her home rather than her talent unless that is her talent is teaching other ponies more about her talent if u would like to talk to me I am one hangout with same name many of your theories is similar to mine but I do have so say I disagree on some theories u said but I do respect your ideas so ta ta for now


The dark splotches on Luna's flank is just regular markings. She might be an appaloosa.


I know that this might be off topic...
But you know how Shining Armour married Cadence?
If Cadence was a princess and she married a regular unicorn, wouldn't that make Shining Armour a prince?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but any royal pony is an alicorn, so when Shining Armour got married, why didn't he get wings?


Get ready for a long one! Seriously, a really long one. It's like, 8 paragraphs.

        I think only ponies have cutiemarks because in MLP FIM ponies are the, "Next humans". Meaning, they are intelligent and have similar to our modern science, although some are a bit behind the times.

        For example, buildings, horse drawn carridges, ships, statues, fashion, and paintings (those 3 show that they are creative and care about more than just survival like humans), and lamp posts. That last one doesn't seem that important and kind of random, but it shows that ponies can use electrical wiring.

       Although it is shown that other species such as donkies/mules, zebras, cows, griffons and dragons are capable of communicating with other species and have emotions, they are not the most intelligent species and don't effect the MLP FIM world as much, so they don't have as strong of destinies as ponies do and don't have cutiemarks because of this.

        But that's just my opinion, and many other people think that it's because cutiemarks are the source of a ponies magic, and I think that's a great theory too.

        The reason I think it's not that simple as that, is because I think a pony's cutiemark is not the source of a ponies magic, but rather a reflection of it. When a pony finds out who they are meant to be, and what their special magic is they get their cutimark. This is not the same as Unicorn magic, but closer to Alicorn magic.

        Like what happened to Twilight, Cadence, and I'm guessing Celestia and Luna too, is when they found out that they had a very powerful magic inside of them stronger that an average pony's magic (Alicorn magic), proving them worthy of being an Alicorn and a Princess.

        A regular pony with magic as a cutiemark would be very good at magic for multiple things, as shown at first. But Twilight has the power to spread freindship all over Equestria. And since Friendship is Magic, Twilight has inside her, "The most powerful magic of all, the Magic of Friendship" (as stated in Equestria Girls), she is worthy of being an Alicorn Princess.

       I could say almost the same thing for Cadence. A regular pony might have the talent of spreading love all over Equestria. But Cadence was a Pegasus before an Alicorn. This isn't a red flag because it's doesn't have to be a magical talent. She could just be really good at working out people's problems, have an attitude that makes people appreciate having someone special in their life. But MLP FIM has shown she is capable of much more than that and, I think you get the idea.

        Oh my gosh, that was so much longer than it was supposed to be. If you actually read through the whole thing, tell me. I don't think it's going to be a lot.


In my opinion, I think cutie marks being in only ponies, shows that they are the or one of the dominant species in Equestria. Kinda like they are the human equivilents in Equestria, being more highly evolved creatures with a sense of power. But it is just my opinion!


I never thought the dark spots were part of Luna's cutie mark because of her nightmare moon form. In this form the spots are purple while the moon remains white, this suggests that they were always meant to be visible as they form a pattern in her fur. This makes Luna more special as she is the only pony with patterned fur.


But Zicora has magic too far more than any earth pony why wouldn't she have a cutie mark, personally I think the reason she doesn't live with other zebras is because they dont have magic and she does.


I think its because Lauren faust needed this to make more episodes. If you noticed a good portion of the episodes in mlp are centered around cutie marks. Or she wanted to teach little kids about growing up to fast


I think luna was born with that plotch. I feel the same way about zecoras (maybe i spelled that wrong) cutie mark.


I'd have to agree with what many have said so far, ponies in this world are the only ones with enough inherent magical power for cutie marks to manifest in. In the show we've seen that the other races, while having magic of there own, not having enough to match that of the three races of ponies. The only other beings that have come close to magic on the same level as the princesses has been Tirec( know I spelt that wrong but am not going to look it up now), Chrysalis and Disorder. However to explain why they don't is simple, Tirec needed to steel the magic of everypony in Equestria and Discord to match the equivilant magic of all four princesses. Chrysalis only had enough to take on Cylistia after munching of shining for god knows who long. As for Discord he represents the opposite of every thing the ponies stand for, even after his true "reform" at the end of season four, his nature is to not follow the crowd. I could go on but this is just a comment so I'll end it here.


I once heard that Flim and Flam were changelings, I'm not sure if that's true, but look at the color of their magic. In the Canterlot Wedding episode, the evil Cadence's magic was the exact same color. It may be a coincidence, but wouldn't Flim and Flam's magic aura color match their cutie marks, which are apples, making the color red? I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it's an interesting thought, that I do know for sure.


maybe Zecora does have a cutie mark and it might be cause she has a special talent and she is the only zebra we have seen but the others don't because maybe their talent is so alike it would be boring if all of them had the same cutiemark!!! well anyway that is my theory.


I think cutie marks do not come for themselves. Instead, I believe that there's an "allmighty alicorn God cutie mark creator", father of Celestia and Luna. These last two are the oldest creatures in all mlp universe (u no say) appart from Chrysalis)) , but also the first ones who got cutie marks, thanks to their father. This God just gives cutie marks to earth, pegasus and unicorn type ponies. Why? because Celestia and Luna started the procreation of the ponie species. How? once upon a time, Sombra was kind and loved the princesses. But the time passed, and Sombra became ambitious for the power of the sisters, and standed against them. Celestia and Luna asked for help to their father, and he granted them the power to defeat Sombra. Once this happened, the sisters had their cutie marks as a gift from the God. The sisters ruled the most powerful kindom in all mlp universe: Equestria. That's why every villan wants to rule it. Queen Chrysalis is this God's wife, wich also turned ambitious for the power. As punishment, the God turned her into an altern alicorn, like rotten. To the theory in the video, I think Chrysalis was the first bannished and not by the princesses, but by the God. Remember, this is only another theory, I'm not trying to improve the series nor to say that this is true, but makes you think quite a bit in my opinion...


Snips and Snails is just a joke off of the poem what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of? Sugar, spice and everything nice.
What are little boys made of? Snips and snails and puppy dog tails.

I think Lauren Faust really likes this little poem since there are the ingredients to make the perfect little girls... and the Rowdy Rough Boys.


Horses originally have a mark where the cutie mark is. It is because so the owners of the horses can tell then apart. That may be why nothing else has a cutie mark. But I can't explain what's with the zebras.


I think the reason that Luna has a dark patch maybe due to her corruption from nightmare moon. Even though she is peaceful now the scars of what she did are still there, leaving that mark on her flank. This theory doesn't work too well but I like it.

@Alice Winsor i like that theory too. It seems most believable based on facts against theories. It couldnt have been from Nightmare Moon, because she still has it in the flashback to before the evil took over.

@xerotheturtle Boom, answer! I like your thinking!

@The Brony Notion If you look at both Luna and Nightmare Moon, they are inverted versions of one another. It could be that Luna has extreme personality disorder and Nightmare is the other personality. That could explain why she has that discoloration and nopony else does, and also why it is still there when she loses her magic. It might have nothing to do with her cutie mark.

@The Brony Notion Hum... maybe and answer to this is that she always had a little bit of evil inside of her?

I love your theory!... but she still had the spots in the flashback of Discord being banished for the first time. This was before she was banished.


In your "why discord is too Starswirl the bearded" i refrenced a book i have. The Journal of the Two Pony Sisters. It includes ponies meeting zebra for the first time and it says they have cutie marks.


I believe why other 'people' besides ponies dont have cutie marks is becuse they are not as magical as unicorns pegisui (pegasus sc?) and earth ponies. unicorns of course have magic that comes from there horns or maybe themselves that can be used to do different things, pegausi (sc?) becuz the have wing to fly their bones are liter and the fact that they can stand on/touch clouds says that they have magical  abilities that they cant use like a unicorn but can be used at an unconicous level where they dont have to focus to stand, touch, or sleep on clouds. Earth ponies the fact that they can use strength stronger than other ponies to do outside work such as bucking apples tells us that they have magical properties that allows them to have the strength to do that work. All though pegasus and earth ponies dont have as much magical power as unicorns doesnt mean they dont have any. Thats why other animal/creatures/people/characters dont get cutie marks they have natural born abilitie that dont require magic of any kind to do anything they dont need magic to do what they do. Ponies are born with magic while the non pony characters are born with natural non magical abilities, thats why they dont have cutie marks. :3


and about Sombra's cutiemark he has it under his blanket or thing. If you watch video- a tale of one shadow- then you see that he has a cutiemark :D


In super speedy cider squeezey, flim and flam never intended to be tricky or deceive, they were just showing that their machine could make cider with less work than traditional methods. The only time they started deceiving was because, for some reason, the Apple family feels threatened even though they could have worked WITH flim and flam to make cider faster. Instead, Apple Jack bets the whole apple farm that the sscs won't beat hard work... They seem to want to avoid innovation in that episode. Do the Apples have a fear of Change and Innovation? if so, why? They can use that technology same as every pony else would.


I think that zebras have glyph marks. Some people think that glyph marks are like cutie marks except they stay the same color palette as their colors. Some other people say that glyph marks are the symbol of their tribe, I'm not sure. But I say that their like cutie marks.

Also, don't use pony creator. I've seen thousands of OCs with that hair style. You'll seem more professional.


What if those dark blotches were from a bit of nightmare moon as a mark that never really went away like Harry potter's scar


In a comic that I have read snips was able to cut a rope with his buck teeth and said that's what his cutiemark was was about


Sun - open, warming, illuminates all, but none can approach or be truely close to, doomed to be alone.<br>Moon - soft, yet concealed light. illuminates a few. can be approached safely but it takes time.

I do think its a little wrong that only ponys have cutie marks. But I think zecora dose have a cutie mark, because she is a important character, and a zebra is close to a pony. But then again, donkeys should have cutie marks.<br>I also think its wrong that Bunnys and birds are pets, but cows, sheep, dragons, unicorns, ponys, and Pegasus, are able to talk, and do things!

It's probably the magical properties of each pony that allow cutiemarks to form (or plane and simple MAJIK!!!!!!)


what program did you use to make the logo at: 00:08- 00:12, and how do you record your videos? I want to do this kind of stuff as well.


i think the that they are showing different types for princess that are different because you see no one else that has different colored wings-Cadence  is the bigger than any ponie i have see-Celestia  the splotches on the hindquarters-Luna  but than there is twilight who is showing normallity
This is showing they want all the princess to be different to show that they are specil other than they are alicorns and showing that they repersent types of ponies and be specil

But that is just my theory but it sounds better in my head  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)


I think Zecora is half pony-half zebra. So maybe it IS a cutie mark.


Hold on a second that doesnt make any sense. Why did (for example) Silver Spoon parents named her that way? Did they know her cutiemark will be silver spoon? or Diamond Tiara (is that even a name?) or Snails ,what a "name".

P.S.Twilights cutiemark is connected somehow with the tree of harmony :P.


Well, I'd think that the reason only ponies would have cutie marks would be because of how it's like they're superior to other species, in the same way humans are with animals. Mabey they just have a better intelligence level, similarly to humans.


I think that only horses of some type have cutie marks because of the destiny and if it was on a cow or donkey that would just look strange right?


> Action > Realisation > Acceptance
Unless you follow the entire process correctly, there is no mark.
just look at the scene where Apple Jack got hers?


The black splotches, Luna was born with, the moon part is her cutie mark


Twilights freinds are main characters and the princesses and the ponies also get cuity marks cause they are slmost characters that help cover the main ones and zecora as well but the other characters who dont then is cause they only appear one time and theirs no need to waist cuitymarks on characters who only appear in the show more than once or twice


the brony notion's right, each pony's cutie mark represents who they are. for example one of the characters he didn't feature was prince blue blood. he has a 4 pointed star that's yellow the colour of the sun and another one behind it that's the exact colour of the moon. for he being celestia and Luna's nephew his cutie mark has a part of them in it for yellow is celestia and the grey colour of the moon is Luna so it represents that he is a part of celestia and luna. maybe he'll raise the sun one day for back in ponyville's past unicorns used to raise and set the sun and the moon so maybe that will come in my little pony's future.


i think zecora got that cutie mark every animal/pony is different


Well in other video about horses they do not seem to have a cutiemark so maybe... just maybe... when and if the become horses their cutiemark fades away... As their destiny as "ponies" are over or has been completed or blah blah blah... and are sent to places like Saddle Arabia or such... but in the back of my mind while typing this i thought what if.... if they dont complete their destiny in some asset they are reincarnated to try to refill their destiny or to complete a completely different destiny/job so yeah.. my OC had to do the same but it went Alicorn->Earth->Pegasus->Unicorn->Alicorn so she could learn how to fill here destiny as the pincess of Clockwork/steam punk


Zacoras cutie mark is a cutie mark cause that she is tetnicly a pony, zebras are ponies only with stripes, but they have some more differences than just that


So based on that logic, maybe there'll be two girl ponies named Sugar and Spice? I mean, girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice.


if dsicord was a pony what do you think his cutie mark would be?


Question: why do cutiemarks only appear on ponies? Answer: GENETICS.


Yeah ponies have cute mark because they got magic all the pony on the equsestria got magic like earth pony they don't have horn but they have magic on there body which means there magic help them do there job


I think Luna's dark blotches are a birth mark when she was born


I think only ponies have magic because of the ep of season 4 terik didn't take any magic from any other animal's


also i think the reason i always do this is because i have a LOT of things on my chest about MLP and then you take those things and put them as a video but i change em up a little


I think Luna has the black blotches on her flank because she was once corrupted and now she has power over her transformation to nightmare moon and the black blotches are a sign for her power over her transformation?


the reason that zeicora has a cutie mark is because she is a zebra and there closer to ponys then donkeys are


maybe since luna is supposed to be the opposite of her sister couldn't that be luna would have markings and celestia wouldn't to show the contrast between the two? plus aren't moon kinda you know special and the sun is to in different ways?


I think Zecoras cutie mark/ tattoo is a birds eye view of a cauldron that has a swirled liquid inside and the spikes represent flames sticking out the bottom of the cauldron


One thing:
Why is the name that same as the CM?
Snails is a snail snips is a scissor
Diamond tiara is a diamond tiara


maybe the dark splotches repersent her dark side or nightmare moon there by it is always there


I think Luna and clestia represent yin and yang Good and Bad


So becuz ponies have magical abilities they can magically get marks on their butts to tell them what they r suppose to do with their life. Only ponies have the magic it takes to get a cutie mark. X3


I have a theory about cutie marks not appearing on other animals other than ponies. Its because of the more magical quality of the ponies such as unicorns, a pegasis, and earth ponies(yes earth ponies are magical they are incredibly strong for there small size and there ability to farm extraordinarily well) and not to forget alicorns with there extremely high magical properties. And the fact the ponies in the show are clearly the superior dominate species so the get a few perks

Hey you should do a video "How do ponies get their names before there cutie mark revels?" If u do the video, can u give me partial credit? :) Thanks


but... luna doesnt have a splat of ink and a moon for her cutiemark.... its just a moon!!


I do think it is a cutiemark. Why?because it shows she's a zebra and that she gives advice in rhymes.that explain the swirl.she talks in rhymes even when she's not giving advice.
From
Sparkle Sing✌😄🐶


I just relized  that the way that the apples in the film flam bros. Cutie marks are they can also mean not the whole truth, they don't tell everything to the story


did you notice sorin has a cutie mark that looks the same as the wonderbolt's simble?
sorry for bad writing
oh ya its a little kids show that's why marks only appear on ponies in fact the name of the show is called "my little pony"


Can you say what u think apple bloom's, sweetie belle's and scootaloo's cutie marek might be. And the representation. Pweeeease. Xxx


Snips is probably going to be a barber, and Snails a gardener...


I think Luna could have 2 cutie marks. :D   Least likely  :P  well what if she has two destinys? her destiny to be evil and cause eternal night as night mare moon? Or her normal way of raising the moon.  The moon cutie mark could repersent the moon raising. and the black stuff on her could be her nightmare moon cutie mark.   This probably is the least likely idea but anyways thats my thoughts


maybe the black spots came with the cutie mark but when Luna became nightmare moon and then turned back (after 1000 years) the spots became permanent to mark that part of her life. also now Luna knows she can visit ponies in there dreams maybe the spots stayed to represent her new knowledge of how she can help ponies other than raising the moon.


yeah i thought those blotches were part of it too... i actually figured that out BEFORE that episode i forgot ow though


zicora is a mix beatween a pony and a zibera so she has a cutee mark


03:36 hmmm maybe it was made to be so by i dunno celestia and lunas great great great ancestirs or something? im definitly going to write a fangic about this


I have no idea why ponies have cutie marks! :-)


LUNA IS A APPALOSSA!! Sorry I kind of got mad but luna is an appalossa, a horse with little spots of their back/flank.


zecora is basicaliy a pony becuse she is a horse and ponys are miniatere horses, so its a cutie mark for sure.


Because ponies are close friends to magical creatures.<br>


my oc cutie mark is a pokeball and a knight ( chess piece ) because i love pokemon and even my nickname is the pokemon queen, the knight, however, is for my love of chess and usage of the knight itself, i am a master of the horse piece and that is my cutie mark, y'all can reply to what your oc cutie mark is and why if y'all like


i believe that ponies are the only ones to be able to have cutie marks is because ponies are the only creatures that we know of besides discord and tirek to be able to use magic. even earth ponies and pegasi have individual types of magic so that could be why they have cutie marks. their magic has more influence over the world and also I could be a way to tell diferent ponies apart from each other and to add depth to their characters and if the other creatures had cutie marks it would clog up the shots and make them too messy. what does a cow or a dog need a cutie mark for anyway?


The link to part one just sends back to part 2 again.


i know becuse i work with the show. its becuse ponys have more things to do with there destine and there this is most oveis they apear when they find there tailent its a mark of witch means there tailent so other ponys know what there good at and help them get comfedens


I think ponies has cutie marks because all the other animals are like fimiliar to there talent but for ponies they don't know what there talent until show what there talent


I rember hearing somthing about snips wanting to cut hair in the show


Lol I thought the same thing about Lunas cutie mark. Now it just looks like someone spilled ink on her butt


I think Snips got his cutie mark for cutting hair. Look at his hair it looks like he cut it himself just like most kids do at least once in their lives. Because he is clumsy. immature, too young, etc.. he didn't do a good job but when he grows up maybe he'll be a barber pony.


well zebras are alot like horses only zebras have strips and horses dont


I think ponies are just too cool for mule.


what do u call a female horse who goes out all night??? A nightmare!!


actually on zecora zebras are actually horses


can you do something about the flim flam brothers


Duh cutie marks are magic and only the ponys have magic


@The Brony Notion Simple, Luna is a pain/apaloosa pony, that's why the blotch stays.


Maybe ponies have unique destinies whilst everybody else's destiny are the unimportant and don't have a huge factor in the well being of equestria. Basically basically you don't see a donkey being the commander of the royal guard or as a well know sorcerous of magic. Or maybe ponies are the supreme beings of equestria and everybody else is unimportant.

@Dillan Daniels

Well cutie marks tend to vanish when ponies are drained of their magic, so maybe the other races just don't have enough magic to manifest their cutie marks...?

@Miner Bro man that logic thought I applaud ur analisis of the situation and the question and I agree with ur paragraph long explanation but it still dosnt answer the question y not donkeys or other animals I think my coment along with some others will answer that question unless u have another theory if so please do share it

wait just a second i just thought of something, ok so i think it was an episode in season 4 when the everfree forest starts to over grow and the both luna and celestia get captured and are no where to be seen. If it weren't for Zecoras potion that allowed twilight to see into the past, twilight wouldn't have been able to find the tree of harmony and return the elements of harmony to the tree to stop the forest from growing. hold on i think im getting somewhere with this, maybe non pony destines are just as important and pony destines. there just not as easy to see and not as noticeable. Here's an example, an alien comes to earth to take over, it is up to a group of people to stop it. there is said to be only one way to stop the alien and that is to, i don't know shoot it with a weapon of some sort. Well the people dont know where to find this weapon and they think all is lost until someone tells them the possible location of the weapon. The group of  people find the weapon and kill the alien and become heros and are graced with glory and wealth. Now the group of people are ponies but the person who told them the location of the weapon is a donkey or a minatore, or even a zebra, and possible the creator of the weapon is a donkey and so on and so forth. As you can see if it weren't for the person who created the weapon and the person who told the group of people the location of the weapon the alien would have killed everybody. So maybe if it weren't for the non ponies in equestria, equestria wouldn't be were is was today. Now i think there are some other moments where this has taken place in mlp. Ok so im pretty sure that Iron Will teaches fluttershy to be more assertive and have more courage came out before they reformed discord. Maybe if it weren't for Iron Will teaching fluttershy, even though she did go over board with it she still retained some of what she learned to stand up to Iron Will, fluttershy wouldn't have been able to stand up to discord or even talk to him. Now that episode with pinkiepie and that one donkey that didn't want to be friends with her ( and i would have liked to put a 70 round drum mag of PPSH41 into his face when he denied her friendship) but any way if it weren't for him being as stubborn as he was pinkpie wouldn't have been able to be so determined to be friends with him that she might have actually given up. Now im pretty sure there is alot more like with the Chanlings or with the 6 manes pets but this comment is already to long and i applaude anybody who has stayed around reading this comment full of misspelled words and unorganized information to this point but the main idea is that if it weren't for non pony destines equestria would be completely destroyed by now. and bear with me but here is a couple of ideas that i came up with: star swirled the beardeds teacher was a non pony and  the creator the elements of harmony was a non pony, and by a couple i meant a couple of ideas and as always Brohoof /)

That's sad for the Donkeys though. Plus Hasbro should be teaching equality to kids. Maybe you're right, but I hope not! /)


Ya!why don't people have magical marks on their bums the represent the special talent!


We'll ponies are cute hence the name CUTIE mark


Is probably because of she makes possess<br>I love my little pony

Is probably because of she makes possess
I love my little pony


Because ponies are awesome. That's why only ponies have cutie marks.


who knows maybe only ponies have the magical potencial to hearn a cutie mark


Zecora is a zebra, which is a type of horse.


Because all of the non ponies except zecora have fur maybe they have there cutie marks under the fur


Zebras have cutie marks to if you read the diary of the two sisters


I have theory about Luna's cutie mark similiar to princess rainbow dash. What if that black mark WAS a part of cutie mark but it was her jealosy and her dark side. Maybe nightmare moon is still there but she is inferiour now in het body and nightmare moon's mahgic is not the part of luna's magic. So Luna gave all of her magic to Twilight but not nightmare's magic. But i think that now nightmare moon's magic is not strong enough that's why luna stayed luna.


think its because the ponies are have my talens any look at the mane six some are fast fashionble
and some can be really smart and some
 do lead  and some like apples and some  really want apple  and its about ponys


ya know im kinda sad to here its not a cutie mark :-((


2:42 ........ Molester moon.......... (smosh reference)


Well the show is my little PONY so well you understand


Flim  flames brothers  cutiemark go together flim cutieMark is a half of a Apple and   flames cutiemark is almost full a Apple.


The title is my little pony it's not mules or things like that that's why<br>It's called MyLittlePony.

The title is my little pony it's not mules or things like that that's why
It's called MyLittlePony.


I think that ponies are the only ones because... 1:01-1:04


Well if cutie marks represent their character.....why does king Sombra and Chrysalis don't have one?Is that even possible that King and Queen don't have cutie marks in the first place??

King Sombra has one, i think. Isnt it like 3 crystals, representing the crystal empire? If you ask me, maybe King Sombra might have been an over ruled King of the crystal empire. And as for Chrissy, she isn't exactly a "Pony". shes a Changeling. Changelings cant have cutie marks because they might stick with them through transformation.......... OR it could be hasbro being lazy ;P

Well, the entire show is actually about ponies, so maybe that's why only they have magical cutie marks? Does it need to be any more complex than that?

@Grimdark Fluttershy I agree with @TheTrilogical. As we see, getting a cutie mark is part of the magic of Equestria. The other animals, well, don't posses this magic. Come on, when have we ever seen a dog fly (apart from R.D.'s dream), a donkey do magic, and a buffalo raise the sun? Cutie marks are magical. But I wonder if one pony won't EVER get their cutie mark...that would be interesting...it'd be like sort of like a Squib in pony form, I guess.

Cause... Magic? I dunno. It's My Little Pony. Don't over think it to much, you'll hurt yourself.

Well.....yes but why only ponies have cutiemarks while others have markings?

I have to agree with Yi-Yi Lian on this one: Changelings are not really ponies, though they look like ones. There's also those breezies, and they don't have cutie marks. So breezies, changelings and ponies (and donkeys etc.) are different species.

I think ponies and changelings can be kinda compared to elves and orcs from the Lord of the Rings; orcs were elves once, but once some of them were tortured for generations, they eventually lost their connection with nature, magic and beauty, turning them into the monsters they now are. Please don't kill me if I explained that wrong! I really haven't read Silmarillion, but my dad has, and he's the one who explained that to me, when we were watching the movies one time. :D

@LPSgal AJ I think that was a headcanon.

@Yi-Yi Lian no chrysalis has one im pretty sure I looked it up  and I got a dead rose with holes in it as her cutie mark

King Sombra DOES have a cutie mark...his armor just covers it up. And also, Queen Chrysalis doesn't have a cutie mark because she's not a pony, she's a Changeling, the Queen of Changelings, to be precise.


so thats probley why she has a cutie mark


And what about aj's cutiemark? You said something about twilight, rainbow dash, rarity, pinkie and flutters.... :<


i think princess celestia has somethig to do with cutei marks


Emoji🌚🌚🌚go! <br>Ok now I'm luna my fave princes

Emoji🌚🌚🌚go!
Ok now I'm luna my fave princes


Sorry, but molester moon is on the luna analysis. XD

NOOOO!!!!! NOT MOLESTER MOON AHHHHHH!!!!! (Smosh fan)


somepony ######## that all dankys,zebras and ponys need cutiemarks!


ponies are the only ones whith cutie marks because they only have the right shape and also because they are the main animals in the whole of the serease hello its ovious my little PONY!


@allie griffin Oh thanks for pointing that out!


+Maria Posada that's what I wanted to say but then different

+The Brony Notion u replied 😱❤ yay thx sorry I'm late tho

+The Brony Notion since the moon has black dots maybe luna was born with the black dots to show how she represents the moon to every little spot this would make sense since she is the princess of the moon


Uh, see the giant Explenation of me in thw prev. Anelizabahahawahwa Video... <b>Squeek</b>

Uh, see the giant Explenation of me in thw prev. Anelizabahahawahwa Video... *Squeek*


Why don't you you know do something on the rainbow rocks movie and hasbro should make a princess no one knows about and hey why not clestia and Luna's parents


Yea um maybe only ponies because its NOT REAL!!!Just kidding. It must be in their genes of something. But I'm not a long expert.


I'm a cutie mark crusader. I've yet to get mine lol


HEAD CANON TIME XDDD
------------------------------------------
I think the black on luna's plot was Grown into her, If you look closely on Luna Eclipsed, and the piolet, Luna's hair AND cutie mark looked different. As Luna gets angry and Sad with ponies and her magic gets weaker as in the piolet luna's cutie mark had no black and her mane was like a normal pony.
I think it symbalizes her magic abiltes and her limets, as she is not used to it as celestia.

Notion please reply to this if you agree.


Hahahahah😂😂😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😎😉😉

Hahahahah😂😂😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😎😉😉


I don't know u I don't know my my sister did that


Work in pears that funny and no is funny 2


Well, Zacora is a zebra and she wouldn't have a cutie mark because, well, SHE'S A ZEBRA, like come on.

Well don't jump to conclusions here. Maybe zebra do have marks, we just haven't seen more than Zecora. We don't know if every zebra has a mark or not, or even if Zecora has a mark since we know little about the zebra race as a whole. Just keep that in mind


I think that Zecora is NOT a zebra. Why? Because no Zebra can do witch craft or so to speak magic with no horn. and i no she has no horn but, Tiric from season 4 rap-up took earth pony magic as well. earth ponys have strength and do unexpexted things. so maybe Zecora is an earth pony and was thought to come from a far away land but maybe she is only thought forren because she looks different and remember no pony goes into the everfree forest untill applebloom followed her. and zecora looks a bit older but not much compared twlight. so maybe she moved in after the two pony sisters castle was destroyed or maybe she didn't.

ya but .... i say wat da hex !<br>lol hex

Even if your crazy claim that she's not a zebra is true, it's possible she might be half zebra and half pony.

no, not exactly, a spiral is a sign of hypmitisim, and therefor it is a sign of witch-craft, and the sun part of whats defintly a cutiemark, stands for the cultre of africia and also that she has no family, witch they thought  was a gift from the sun. (this is what i've heared of.) so most of you must not be very smart

Zecora also speaks in riddles and I think that's what the spiral means

we haven't seen any zebra other then zecora, so we cannot assume that her being able to use magic and brew potions is something unique to her alone. though i do think potion brewing is zecora's special talent as that seems to be her main focus.
