@Snapai (me) / @Snapimation (art)This won't make much sense to you, if you haven't seen season 1 of the series.
[patched together from a few IRC logs describing my idea]
Anyways, I had the BEST idea for the general plotline of a show for the Cutie Mark Crusaders actually getting their cutie marks. :D
Basic idea is: at the beginning of the show, somehow the CMC decide to, or get the suggestion to, make TEMPORARY cutie marks until they get their real ones. Like, the other two tell each of them what their CURRENT talent is, and then Apple Bloom designs and sews together pony sarongs with their temporary marks embroidered onto em.
And so, after they do that, they go around town, enjoying just being friends, instead of having to deal with their quest. Maybe they go to school. They probably visit each of the main characters, and get the reaction to thinking they're on another cutie mark crusade, and the relief reaction to finding out that they're not doing that today.
As they go along, they have fun, they realise that the real reason they hang out together is because they're friends, and by the end of the episode, they ultimately agree that they don't care if they're blank forever, because they have friends like each other.
And with that, one or all of them takes off their own pony sarong, and the grand reveal- that sometime unbeknownst to any of them, they all HAVE their cutie marks. Even better, they're "polished" versions of the stitched cutie marks from the outfits. :D
Possible morals/letters to Princess Celestia:
* Some things in life only happen when you stop worrying about them. (This has been stated generally, but never associated with a pony that was really set on getting theirs giving up and just deciding to have fun)
* As stated before, "It doesn't matter when they get their cutie marks, or if they're blank their entire lives, because they have each other as friends"
* You're your most unique and original talent when you're simply doing what seems obvious or ordinary to you rather than TRYING to be original or unique (this is really the message of the CMC episodes in general anyway.)
I think that would make an AWESOME episode. It would finalize the CMC story which really doesn't have anything else to say I think. And it has a friendship lesson that is as important or more important than the overarching plot. And it's the sort of feel good ending that would make the audience jump up and cheer and dance and squee. XD
Damn, now I want to storyboard it, and I already have WAY too many projects on my plate. Wah! ;A;

I think he/she/its saying that that wouldn't be a good plot. Because all they'd have to do is put on some random cutiemark and bam, that's what it is, there's no talent involved in getting the cutie mark, or realization of what they can do.
Once they get their cutie marks, then there may not be a reason for them to be on the show anymore. (or they'd be filler ponies) He/she/it thinks that the cutie mark crusaders are part of the 6 main characters of the show.
I guess :B
Though I think it's not so much wearing some random cutiemark as it is the fact that they're taking a break by putting on an outfit with a symbol representing what they're ALREADY good at. Representing the mental shift from trying to find a talent among stuff they don't do, to recognizing a talent they already have.
Though yes, I realize you were just translating.
They are left as a group. Who knows, maybe they decide they LIKE trying different things, even when they have their cutiemarks. Or like
