After stealing ingredients for Zecora's Rooster viagra, Applebloom gets her Cutie Mark. She then gets a lot more of them.

This is an idea I myself thought would be a great one for the show to tackle, and, unfortunately, wasn't brought up in "Bloom & Gloom" either. Granted, I love "Bloom & Gloom", and I do like what "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" did with the characters, but I sometimes speculate what having different cutie marks would've been like. Potentially, it could've led to the friendship between the trio being strained, and, as a result, been an interesting way to show how growing up can affect friendships, but if you make the effort to preserve them and keep a strong bond, you don't have to stop being friends. The downside to this would, perhaps, be that the moral might be a bit too obvious, or the fact that this idea was somewhat addressed in "Amending Fences". Still, to see the idea of "growing up" firsthand, and from characters we've known since the beginning, could've been interesting, and giving the Crusaders the same cutie marks (and, thus, the same "jobs"), somewhat rids them of having to grow separately/test their friendship.The Doctor wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 12:16 pmI would have loved to have seen them all get different cutie marks separately, and specifically see Applebloom get her's last and have to deal with her friends getting them before her (and handling it a lot better than she did with Twist).
