Yeah, we’re dipping into the fandom archives for this one. Literally, given that the Alligator Tub Productions YouTube channel has renamed itself and wiped its content. But the Internet never forgets (except when it does) so let’s look at some classic fan animation and see how well it holds up.
This is an interesting situation. I begin my look at the Ponyville Mysteries novel series, which predates the Ponyville Mysteries comics I reviewed back in… 2019, my goodness.
Well, let’s get this started before my bones turn to dust.
Ahem. So. Upon further investigation, it is possible that the primary source for the "AI voices" brouhaha may, in fact, have been full of crap. Or at the very least, does not work at Hasbro.
You may have already heard about this from Equestria Daily or elsewhere in your personal bit of the Webbernets, but the reason behind the abrupt end of Make Your Mark has come to light.
As “The Blockywockys” showed, seaponies never stopped being a thing. Whether they’re the same thing in this comic as Destiny the underwater friendship bracelet weaver remains to be seen. Let’s dive in and find out.
The sigil of the Dimir, a guild of mind wiping psychic vampires who tried to overthrow and rule the plane-city of Ravnica in a coup spliced with what I believe is a fannon cutie mark for Ms. Wallflower.
4801859 The majority is the best candidate we have for Wallflower Blush's cutie mark, based on the symbol on her backpack. I isolated this particular image from here. ETA: Too slow on my part.
As for the other elements...
4801860 Don't worry. This will have a happy ending. Mostly.
4801862 Not this time. Her inevitable monster transformation will have to wait for another day.
4801882 Dimir, like a large part of FoME's non-pony references, is from Magic: The Gathering. Specifically, it's a guild of spies and other shady folk that act in Ravincia. The bug/eye parts of the image is most of their symbol. (The actual symbol is symmetric.)
4801882 The symbol on the front of the Memory Stone more closely resembles the Sheikah Eye from the Legend of Zelda games. derpicdn.net/img/2018/2/21/1661810/large.jpeg Interestingly, the Sheikah played some role in the bloody war of unification that preceded the events of Ocarina of Time, as revealed in the Shadow Temple, but much of the history of their tribe and the war itself was ... forgotten.
A stone that removes memories, marked with the symbol of a mysterious tribe of ninjas. Coincidence? I think NOT!
Good thing Wallflower Blush doesn't go to Ravnica High. Vice Principal Beleren would have shut down those mind-wiping shenanigans in an instant! (Or an interrupt, if you're really old.)
I don't know what a dimir is, but I for one welcome our earth aspect overlords.
Incidentally, I was thinking about writing an OS blurb about the Memory Stone, but now I'm gonna hold off on it. Oh well, I need to devote my creative energy toward finishing So You Escaped From Limbo, so it's probably for the best.
...what is that
should I know

Nightmare Wallflower?

Oh, that's the symbol on Wall's backpack. It's as close to a canon cutie mark as we're gonna get.
I was just trying to keep the "who are you again" joke going. :D

omg i ninja'd you so hard
that'll learn you to actually pay attention to your entire audience
(but yeah i googled half your blog title and you have my curiosity)
If this is Oversaturated, I kind of figured Wallflower could be snapped up by Mysterious Dark Force Guy.
Dimir? They don't exist
4801887
Yeah, I don't see why everyone's getting so hype about a blog that's just Wallflower's cutie mark.

Is it poisonous? Dimir doesn't really do floral. That's more Simic and Golgari domain.
Though if this is for the recent EQG movie, I haven't watched it yet.

This is a pretty good link to the overall lore.

Competition between shadowy conspiracies is incredibly fierce.
I KNEW IT!

The Nightmare has returned!
This time, she's taken over... a flower!
We're all doomed!!!
