We don't get too many Cutie Mark Crusader threads around here. I think we should fix that.

Gay.

Ok.
>>25331017
thanks family

That's because they have their cutie marks so they're no longer the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
I like these costumes.
>>25332166
Just because they have their cutie marks doesn't mean they aren't crusaders anymore. They will be helping others to discover their cutie marks now instead of their own.
>>25332228
So they'll be telling others how to earn their cutie marks...and none of the others will listen, just like the CMC used to do. But now the CMC have their marks, it's time for them to head out, get a job and start earning a living.
>>25332260
I wouldn't say that they will be telling others how to get their marks. They helped Troubleshoes discover what his cutie mark meant in Appleloosa's Most Wanted and then helped Diamond Tiara see the light of her cutie mark again in Crusaders of the Lost Mark. They might have their marks but they aren't ready to get a job yet. No other fillies their age have jobs as far as we know.

How about these cute chibis?
Hi, Filly Mays here to bump this CMC thread!
>>25337361
That timing though.
They are so cute!
Hey guys... so I had a cmc greenthread a long while back... and I was kinda thinking of continuing it. It started out as just a sweetiebelle thing, but kinda went into a full cmc.
Link here: http://pastebin.com/bDVA0Rjn
If anyone's interested in me continuing... just let me know. If not, then I won't.
>>25338603
I'd be interested in you continuing it.
>>25338568
Awww, why are you sad Bloomy?
>>25338821
marked fillies
>>25338603
I'd read it!
>>25339690
Marked fillies are best fillies.
It appears that Applejack likes what she sees and wants to taste that Apple. I can't blame her.
It took way too long for them
>>25343853
Too long for them to what?
>>25344480
Whoops. It took way to long for them to finally become friends.

These colors may be gaudy but I find the Cutie Mark Crusaders to be adorable with Rainbow Power designs.
>>25347911
Yes! This is what I like.
It seems the little fillies needed to get some sleep. They look so peaceful.
>>25348869
I approve of lewd Apple Bloom.
>>25349079
You sir, know how to pick a waifu.
>>25349081
I thought I was the only Bloomfag left on the board for a while back there. It's good to have these threads around.
>>25343853
Did the artist really really really really had to use low quality screencap as a background?
>>25349139
OP here. The CMC definitely need some threads around here and I intend to provide them.
>>25349144
They sure didn't have to but they did. What a shame.
I'm here for the new Thread Bumper!

That is so cute! Let me add to it.

I wish someone would make a gif of this including gentle breathing and the occasional random little flop of an ear. That would be topcute.

>>25360575
They do have big heads.
>>25360606
For you.
>>25360610
I think they look cute with big heads.
CMC have best butts.
Cutie Mark Crusaders as Rogue Squadron vs Big Mac as an All Terrain Armored Transport? Yes please.
>>25331017
Will they play a role in reforming Starlight?
>>25361103
That is a very good question that I do not have the answer to. It is definitely a possibility.

Be nice to see

Kek, been a while since I've read that one.
>>25362333
Filly is not for sexual.
I'm down for more Equestria Girls cuteness.
>>25361103
I know I've been waiting for an episode in which the CMC save the day, but I'm afraid the final two-parter in this season will be like MMC - with Twilight solving everything and the rest of the other 5 just being along for the ride.
Seeing how Starlight will be reformed I could see a future episode with her and the CMC though.
>>25370991
Yes! I love this concept art shown off during the credit sequence of Rainbow Rocks.
>>25331017
those cutie marks are ugly abominations.
The show is dead.
>>25372376
I can taste the salt in the air around you.
>>25372402
Doesn't matter to me, I'm just surprised that there are actual people celebrating this garbage.
Not even a fucking two parter about their cutie marks that have been set up since the beginning of the fucking show, and they half-ass it with these ugly cutie marks and cram it into a single pathetic episode.
Fuck you.
>>25372470
>they half-ass it
You can complain about aesthetics all you like, but this clearly had a lot of thought put into it. If it just looks like a random, lazy mess to you, you either don't understand the characters or just aren't trying to think. I'm sure they plan on talking about and explaining the marks in a future episode or two, anyway. This episode wasn't about that. What would have been awkward is if in the same episode that they got them, they gave speeches about their marks and what they meant and what they had to do with them. It's good to let them just have them for a little while before doing that.
>>25372635
>Don't understand the characters
>Just aren't trying to think
Insulting me won't change how shit the cutie mark designs are. Nor how disrespectful they handled a key thing in the show.
It's downright ungraceful how they handled it and it makes me disgusted how people just let it go like this.
It's a blatant destruction of coherency.
>>25372470
No need to get so butthurt. People are celebrating because this brings a close to a long running arc.
You should know all too well that two parters are reserved for premiers and finales and they always focus on the Mane 6. The cutie marks symbolise their combined purposes of helping others discover their cutie marks while also representing their unique talents.
Could they have used a more appealing color palette? Sure, but I'm happy with the overall design.
>>25372693
I'm not insulting you. If you understood the characters and took the effort to really think about it, they'd make perfect sense to you and couldn't be called "half-assed".
>>25372747
Let me humor you.
The Cutie Mark represents the three of them as friends and as Cutie Mark Crusaders, and to help other ponies get their cutie marks as well.
The problem with that, is that it makes the Cutie Mark Crusader aspect of them apart of who they permanently are.
This is what I call, lazyness. They use the most obvious traits of the characters and make a simple, supposedly natural cutie mark that "represents" them.
But, the truth is, the cutie mark's themselves are unnatural cutie marks, what are they special snowflakes now? They get three shield cutie marks because of their bonds? That breaks my suspension of belief and tells me the writers aren't really thinking that hard.
It's an insult onto itself.
>>25372816
>the cutie mark's themselves are unnatural cutie marks, what are they special snowflakes now? They get three shield cutie marks because of their bonds?
If it turns out that that's all there is to it, you're totally right. I believe the complex, similar marks and the dramatic acquisition means they'll do very important things with those marks and the talent, though. End up reforming some major villain or something of the sort. Some big fate thing like how the mane 6 and elements of harmony were connected by that Rainboom and met the way they did when they did. But if it does end up with nothing like that being the case and I'm wrong, then you're right. It's too early to say it means nothing and was just slapped on for the sake of it, though.
>>25372882
Why couldn't they just get cutie marks like any other pony? It also seems like they haven't actually realized their special talents.
The biggest problem I have here is that we still don't know what the fuck is there special talents actually are.
There supposed to know what their talents represent, and were getting fucking Cutie Mark Crusader Cutie Marks that have nothing to do with their actual personalities!? WTF.
If the writers don't know how Cutie Marks actually work, then what the fuck are we putting this shows hands too?
Its just too much...
>>25372910
>There supposed to know what their talents represent, and were getting fucking Cutie Mark Crusader Cutie Marks that have nothing to do with their actual personalities!? WTF.
You clearly didn't see my post stating that their unique talents ARE represented by their cutie marks in the form of symbols within the shield. Do not forget that Troubleshoes Clyde and Diamond Tiara didn't understand what their marks meant at first either.
>>25372816
>But, the truth is, the cutie mark's themselves are unnatural cutie marks
Why?
>>25372960
And do we have confirmed is their special talents actually are? They only infer what they are, not actually explain. And I don't see much change in anything, They got their cutie marks and no cool changes happened to them.
Its the same shit!
>>25372962
Three cutie marks shared with three ponies? How many ponies have that?
>>25372910
>and were getting fucking Cutie Mark Crusader Cutie Marks that have nothing to do with their actual personalities!? WTF.
Are you blind? Do you not see the fucking apple, musical note, and the lightning bolt inside of a fucking wing?
>>25372910
>that have nothing to do with their actual personalities
That's what I meant about understanding the characters. Their marks inside the shields do explain and represent the girls fairly well. In a way that makes you think more and makes them clear to be deeper characters than if the microphone, hammer and scooter that mostly everyone wanted and expected to see happened. I won't go explaining what I think they all mean right now, but I'm sure that at least that part of the marks aren't random or lazy. It's because those parts make so much sense that I'm more sure that the shields and dramatic flash meant something more than "look, everyone. Cutie marks, lol". They'll be the saviors of Equestria some day
>>25372994
I'm talking about the Crusader part of the Cutie Mark.
>>25372999
Yes, but I was talking about the Crusader part of the Cutie mark, which in itself, is unnecessary. And the designs of the Cutie marks themselves alone, without the shield is not creative as fuck.
Couldn't they have a bit of originality?
>>25372987
>Three cutie marks shared with three ponies? How many ponies have that?
Here's two ponies cutie marks that coincide with each other directly. There's a precedent for this.
One's an apple with a slice missing, and the other's a slice of an apple, presumably the same piece.
>>25373010
Thats not a good comparison. Their related, they have similar cutie marks because of their similar background.
On the other hand, with the cutie mark crusaders, They have no real relation, other than being friends and being Cutie Mark Crusaders.
I feel that making that apart of the Cutie Mark is stupid.
>>25373715

Soaking Belle is adorable!

>>25371051
Some of it was okay, some was terrible (e.g. Fluttershy). I never quite got why everyone found them to be so brilliant.
>>25374253
I liked all of them personally. They really captured the personality of each character.
>>25374253
The super wide mouth is pretty off-putting. She almost looks like she'd talk like the Canadians in South Park. Fortunately, not all pics are like that.
>>25374344
I have to admit, the wide mouth is kinda unsettling.
>>25374344
That's exactly why I don't like them. Most of her drawings have this kind of mouth. Those that don't actually look alright.
>>25374380
>those that don't
referring to the Derpy pic, of course. That one is okay.
>>25374383
I thought the Cutie Mark Crusaders drawing was cute.
>>25374533
Apples to the coer.
>>25374533
OP here. I'm honestly pretty shocked by the sheer amount of Apple Bloom pictures that are being posted here. I always thought that I was part of a small minority who loved Apple Bloom as much as I do.
