okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a β€˜green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

Decided to make my own alternate ponies to wield the elements of harmony, they're not really a next gen bunch but they could be interpreted that way - they're just some lil guys for funsies :]

This is Spella, the element of magic, high-key inspired by Trixie. She was born with a very small horn and has never been able to use her innate unicorn magic. She doesn't know her parents & grew up in a shady circus where she performs slight of hand magic and definitely doesn't pickpocket or steal from the crowd.

She starts out not knowing any of the other main 6 and is a mean and morally grey character.

But, she meets the other 5 when her circus stops in ponyville and her innate magic suddenly starts to work. She leaves the circus to stay around the other 5 while she tries to figure out why her magic only seems to work when she's with them.

And in doing so they all become bestie friends and she learns to be nice πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

Haven't really thought about anything else beyond that for the time being
