Description Yyyyeeeeaaaaahhhh, no way this could end badly. I had this idea sitting in my idea folder, when I got wind of the "Flight to the Finish" episode, and decided I should get this out post haste. After all, Rainbow made the Wonderbolts, Twilight became a princess, who knew but Scootaloo might get her cutie mark. So, I tried to get this done BEFORE the episode aired... I didn't make it. I got it done in just a bit over a week though, not bad for me. As it turned out, I needn't have worried, the CMC are still crusading for their marks! Even so, this may not have been the best time for what likely qualifies as Scoot abuse, but, oh well. After their nice, up building episode, the CMC can endure getting poked a bit. And really, can't you just see them pulling a stunt like this?

Oh, and, yeah, that IS paint, thinner, and soiled rags by the hay bales, next to the freshly painted barn... near an open flame. "Raze this barn, raze this barn, one two three... FIRE!!!!" Wow, I wasn't very nice AT ALL with this pic was I?

Made from scratch with GIMP and mouse.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and its characters belong to Hasbro and Lauren Faust.

P.S. The CM brand was taken right from the early Faust Rainbow Dash concept drawing, 'cause I'm not very creative... and I think Scoot would approve.

You know, not 6 hours ago I had a similar thought of "How desperate are they for a cutie mark?", and turns out I picked up on someone else's thought.

Oh, this is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!  And I quite agree, if Scoot is going to allow  herself to be branded why not with an variation of her idol's cutie mark??  A Gazillion Huzzahs!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering how desperate she is to get hr mark, it seems like Applebloom might resort to branding her own backside too. 


Boy would that go down well with the family.

Welp, let's see if Zecora has any kinda remedy.

Hmm, I see your flank is burned, with a cutie mark unearned. Well, have a seat inside this pot, filled with brew to soothe your plot.


Hehe, I imagine Applebloom was mastermind behind this particular escapade.

Sparrow9612 In reply to GrayOkay [2014-02-22 05:39:07 +0000 UTC]

She probably was. 

Wow, your brew really works Zecora! Ahm no longer in agonizing pain. My burn is totally gone!


Sorry to say it Applebloom, but when Granny finds out what ya did, and you know she will somehow, she might just dust off the old hickory switch for the occasion. Big Mac got ten lashes from it once, for gettin' in a tussle with one of his fellow schoolcolts. Never knew my brother could hit such high notes.


Zecora...can I hide out here with you until I'm grown up?


No, you cannot. You must go and brave the lash upon your plot. I was once a troublemaker in my homeland: like you, I too tried to mark myself with a brand.


That's all I can think of at the moment.

Oohohoho, Applebloom will soon be wearing the infamous "red striped" cutie mark. Zecora probably has a brew for that too though. She should take some home to be safe.

Oh, no! I knew they were desperate, but I didn't think they'd be THIS desperate!

GrayOkay In reply to karkovice1 [2013-12-22 20:06:25 +0000 UTC]

But they just have such a BURNING desire to get them!!! And not to worry, I think Scootaloo will have the good sense to chicken out at the last minute... Oh no, I didn't... I DID! I really need to do a cute, sweet, CMC pic to make up for this...

Apple Bloom: Hi! We are the Cutie Mark Crusaiders and this is "The Brand"!

Scootaloo: D:


Heh, just reminded me of one of Jackass 2 scenes. The Brand . I can't believe how much it's fitting now. Great work! XD

This is sorta what I equate the level of obsession bronies have when they get pony tattoos. There is being part of the fandom and then there is lost in the pony sauce. By the way whats with the little fire demon in the bonfire?

GrayOkay In reply to USMCbrony0311 [2013-12-20 01:16:38 +0000 UTC]

Wait... you mean that rainbow bolt tattoo I got was a bad idea? LOL J/K. 

Yeah, it can go too far. I have ponies on the brain more than I maybe should, but for me it's become more about making pictures than the show itself at this point. I enjoyed drawing as a kid but it fell by the wayside. Other times I've tried to make something since I'd usually hit a wall and give up. For some reason the ponies just clicked with my creative side, the ideas flow like water, and there's no shortage of references and tutorials.


As for the little fire demon, thats actually a Fryguy from Mario Bros. 2. In my first pic I had the whim to throw in a Phanto in a door potion/beaker, then I did it again, and now, and in my other WIP... It's turning into a fun challenge to see where I can stick a Mario reference.
