Sometimes a lie is easier to take - Caps and gifs which I have edited in some way. Named for a line in Return of Harmony.

Murder and violence - caps and memes in which a character commits an act of violence, or is about to. May not actually be murder and violence in the original context.

Horses may bite - caps concerning the topic of ponies eating other animals. Named after this slightly creepy sign.

Why can't I mention Fluttershy? - in the early days of this blog, none of the caps involved Fluttershy. Posts that came close to mentioning her are tagged as this.

Letter to Celestia in the tags - I make a substantial amount of commentary int he tags.

Character tags - Every named character who speaks or is otherwise the focus of a cap is tagged in the post. You can click the tag on a post to find more caps with that character

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 at cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘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.
