Description
In my next-gen the cmc aren’t completely focused around gaining their cutie marks- I’ve re-imagined them a little bit.
Also while I’m fine with their canon marks, I took this as an opportunity to redesign them!

Instead of bonding over their shared lack of cutie marks (while that was a factor) the cmc bond over their disabilities. In my au the Cutie Mark Crusaders are more of a support group as well as bunch of friends dedicated to bringing awareness to all kinds of disabilities.
They start out with the goal of earning their cutie marks, but as time goes on and one by one they earn their marks they gradually transition into a well-known motivational group for creatures with disabilities and re-brand themselves as the CMCE (Creature Malady Congregation of Equestria).

Sweetie Belle
She/Her
Asexual/Aromantic
Famous Pop-Star
Single
- Sweetie Belle has an underdeveloped horn and can only manage very small bursts of magic that fizzle out after a few seconds.
- Very famous pop star and uses her platform to promote for disability awareness and acceptance.
- The sweetest and kindest soul you will ever meet, Celestia save you from the wrath you would face from her friends should you hurt her.
- Has a very wide range of vocal ability.

Scootaloo
She/They
Lesbian
Traveling Stunt Performer
Dating Babs Seed
- Scoots still has her underdeveloped wings like in canon- she was actually the one to inspire me to make all the cmc disabled.
- Scootaloo looks up to Dash for a lot more than just being an awesome flier, she relates a lot to Rainbow and they share a lot of the same struggles, neurodivergent, lgbt ect. Scootaloo idolises her for being very confident in herself and her identity. Rainbow Dash is pretty much everything that Scootaloo wants to be.
- Rainbow is a mentor figure to Scoots growing up, eventually growing to become her surrogate sister. She along with Pinkie regularly host talks at the CMCE’s (now very widely known) organisation about living as neurodivergent.
- Autistic!
- I imagine she would be the last of the cmc to get their cutie mark, probably being a bit of a late bloomer.
- Dyed her mane to mimic Rainbow.
- Puts stickers on everything.
- Currently works as a traveling stuntpony with her marefriend Babs.

Apple Bloom
She/Her
Demisexual
Alchemist/Herbalist
Dating Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon
- Applebloom was born with paralysed hind legs and gave her mother quite a bit of trouble when giving birth.
- Even though she can’t harvest apples in quite the same way as everyone else, she is quite helpful around the farm, especially with lugging around heavy objects.
- Though her special talent revolves primarily around potions and she doesn’t work on the farm as much as she used to, she still frequently works out and is toned as hECK.
- The first of the cmc to earn her cutie mark!

Here are their original designs!
