    I like the idea of Starlight being ponykind’s savior, but at some point, other unicorns would want to learn her spell. Maybe having Sunset Shimmer return to see this disease, learn about Starlight, and want to learn the spell herself as well as recruit other powerful unicorns for that purpose would be an interesting concept. Also, I see healthy ponies putting Celestia in solitary confinement since her talent is moving the sun. They would find it crucial that she never get sick as she could destroy the world if she lost control of her power. And since Celestia is more of a social butterfly, being isolated with little to no contact with the outside world would have a real negative effect on her mental health.

      Another option, is simply have the other kingdoms get involved. The reason I say this is because, while they don't do much in the series, it is shown that other than Spike's instant scoll teliportation ability, or Celestia's magic chareet, news travels as fast as mail. And over long distances, mail can takes weeks to travel between towns. Not to say anything of other countries.
      Honestly with Rainbow Dash doing sonic rainbooms constantly the other kingdoms would be made aware of your cutie mark infection, and may or may not decide to help as they are immune so why, or because they aren't and want to decrease infection spread. With those who want to help maybe started out because of personal reasons, or out of annoyance of the constant bizarre explosions before realizing what is going on.
      Dragon kingdom is a high likely hood if Ember is the dragon lord, she at least knows Spike, Twilight and Rarity, and given that her kind is immune I think at least a few dragons would be sent as assistance. The Yak kingdom probably wouldn't have the news reach them for a long time, due to how harsh the environment they live in, up to you to decide. The Crystal Empire would probably lock their doors to minimize infection rates, due to the two Alicorns that live their could become infected and now there's two more calamity level threats. Changlings, depending on whose their ruler is at the time will most likely dictate their response, Crysalisis will likely end up staying far away far ponies, or even try to cure them herself out of desperation due to the fact that infected ponies would be highly improbable to create any kind of love that the changlings could feed on, but infected cured by changlings would more then likely desire to help what could easily be considered their saviors, potentially becoming free love generators in the process. Thorax meanwhile, would most likely feel indebted to Starlight and the main six, for a considerable number of reasons, like how they are his friends, and helped pull his people out of the constant misery of starvation.
      Honestly, this rant is just fun worldbuilding speculation on my part. But I've only seen how the ponies react to the virus and not any of the other kingdoms, but if this helps inspire you go for it, see where the story takes you.

    I personally think that Pinkie Pie's infection would be different: Her whole thing is to make people laugh. She does this pretty well even though her situational awareness and lack of room reading skill makes this trait irking at times. Thus, her ailment would be infectious laughter...except to the EXTREME. She physically CAN'T stop hysterically laughing to the point where it is difficult to properly breathe, drink, eat, and sleep. Now the party pony only wants to calm down, sip some water, and just...nap...but she literally can't. Have you ever tried to just rest when in the midst of chest pounding laughter? Even the Batman's Joker takes breaks sometimes.

    I love the path you chose for Starlight, having her use her cutie mark removal spell in order to try and save ponies, but she's overworked and conflicted over the trauma of her past using it. Very clever and interesting.
    Although now I'm thinking about what if the princesses were infected. I'm thinking like a Nightmare Moon vs Daybreaker struggle, but with Luna and Celestia, aware of their states and heartbroken at what they're doing, and their constantly trying to fight the infection while also struggling for dominance over having their celestial body in the sky. I'm thinking because if this, we see the sun and moon occupying the sky at the same time, like in that one episode "Princess Twlight Sparkle Part 1".

    I wonder what happened to cozy glow because her destiny is to manipulate so I believe the infection would work like this:
    Her appearance is normal.The infection has adapted in her body. To stay hidden to be better for manipulation.
    The tendency to try to manipulate people has increased even more.
    She hides among the healthy ponies, infecting and manipulating the rest for her own safety.
    Can't stop manipulating no matter who it is.
    Her anger problems have increased because of the infection.
    Forced smile and a little unusual because of the fear of being discovered.

    I have a question, how would this disease interact with ponies who don’t have cutie marks yet? Are they immune? Do they get hyper fixated on finding their mark? I have to imagine that if they’re immune, there would be a huge amount of ponies who are too scared to do anything, just in case they’re to good at it and they get a mark.

    Wonder how it affects Crystal ponies? They seem to be kind of reflective in their coats and stuff, so maybe they have some kind of difference in how they're affected. Like, instead of veins, they get crystal growths that spread from their cutie marks instead. Even more morbid if they're growths from underneath the skin, leading to bleeding that further spreads infection vectors. They could also have an onset of slow paralysis, their bodies "crystallizing" until they become like statues.
    What about the reformed Changelings? They could be part of the AU, Thorax and the changelings could be part of the rescue efforts or the quarantine efforts since they don't have marks and wouldn't be an infection vector. They could be kind of like the guards for the communities that are uninfected, or be searchers for ponies that are. Maybe like first responders that help care for the infected until Starlight can come get them. Lots of possibilities.
    I liked the quarantining celestia idea, but what I like better is the implication of what Discord is doing. Like, why wouldn't he be looking for fluttershy or using his phenomenal chaos powers to help capture more volatile infected? The answer? He got his early self's wish to take over equestria... but in the worst way possible. Celestia and Luna both caught the bug, or because of it can't come out of their quarantine zones to raise the sun and moon. Think about it, most scenes involve them being outside to raise the sun or moon, which would be a big no-no since they might be exposed to the disease. So while they're basically forced to hide out so they can manage government affairs and try to handle the crisis in clean, sterile white rooms, Discord is taking care of the courts and having to raise the sun and moon, which we've seen him able to do before. Cadence has already been shown to really not have the firepower to be able to pull that feat off.
    Moreover, how would the cold climate of the crystal empire affect the disease? If we really wanted to get scary, then the snow and ice could make it even worse, basically preserving the disease on ice until some hapless victim accidentally tracks it into the empire and thaws it.
    I like the idea of cadence being a survivor and shining armor being an infectee. Cadence basically having to spend most or all her time trying to care for shining armor, while Shining was infected by the prior mentioned means while reinforcing a barrier to quarantine ponies, and now the entire crystal empire is cut off from the rest of the world because he can't stop keeping a massive barrier up around the city. Everyone there is trapped with each other, no outside food or water, and starlight can't get in to help the ponies there because of the barrier.

    this AU is awesome! i always thought it would be cool to give mlp characters infected abilities based on their cutie marks, so this is great. also, as a biology person, i'd like to talk about chronic wasting. chronic wasting is a prionic disease, so it can form inside of a victim's brain, possibly meaning your disease could randomly infect new targets, making it spread super quickly. additionally, "infected zones" could be an interesting idea, because wasting disease in the real world can remain in the environment for years until another victim shows up. chronic wasting disease is, finally, known for eventually stopping the victim from moving by breaking their motor control, and since most infected ponies have broken bones and tons of bruises, there could be some ponies that have been infected so long that they can't move from all the damage. this might not make sense, but i imagine that pinkie pie would act a bit like two in bfdi tpot 9, where she just randomly teleports around, destroys everything around her with her chaos powers, makes someone disappear never to be seen again, and leaves. i'd also like to ask in this verse, what's going on with the other alicorns, and where's discord? also, why hasn't discord cured fluttershy yet, because that would usually be the first thing he did in this sort of situation.

Also, what about the princesses? How would CMWD affect them, or the crystal ponies? Oh, also also, maybe the cured/immune/uninfected ponies would end up staying at Celestia's palace to keep them safe from those that can't be cured, or maybe with the changelings since they'd be effectively immune too.

    I just found these today and I absolutely love this au.
    Theres been a Grimdark story about there being a pony settlement in the Everfree Forest that thought cutie marks were a plague and you could possibly incorporate something like that in the lore.
    Also, I feel like this virus could eventually mutate. Or mutate by being tampered with by some ponies trying to find an alternate solution than having their special talent removed so those more violent or missing could be saved. This mutation could affect other creatures like Discord or the Crystal Ponies(since they are considered a different species of pony)
    It could even end up infecting Hypogriffs and Griffins. Since every sentient creature has their own type of magic, it could possibly make that magic work overtime. Or it could amplify something ingrained into that species like Discord needing chaos to exist of a Griffin's greed for gold and money.

I feel like derpy could be immune ( i have no viable reasoning for this, i just want the adorable mare to be ok). And i feel like pinkie could be pretty easy to get and hold in one place, at least hypothetically. Just... Laugh. If she tries to make you laugh, just do it. If she's been trying to make people laugh, just laugh and she'll probably lock onto you because your the only one to laugh at her anymore. And to get her to stop hurting herself through the overexertion, just ask her to tell a joke, then laugh at it, and repeat the process until starlight can fix her. Maybe even use reverse psychology and say it would be hilarious if her cutie mark got removed by Starlight. Applejack would be another easy one to cure i feel like, if her legs are broken and shes psychically exhausted, shes got to be slow, right? She would also be at the farm 24/7, so you wouldn't need to look for her much.

Granted I’m not an mlp fan so I wouldn’t know the specifics, but I can imagine her being desperate for the approval of others, and only recoiling from a cure if the cutie mark virus has self preservation instincts. An interesting conflict between wanting to be liked and make other people laugh and the instincts of a virus to persist and spread.

    I also feel like Zecora would eventually find/see Fluttershy, since Zecora does live in the forest. I don't think she'd be able to really help Shy, but if somepony comes around asking Zecora at some point she could give them a headstart.

    One thing that I really want to highlight here is Starlight's staff. It was shown that Starlight doesn't even need the staff to remove cutie marks, but I love your inclusion of it, because strangly enough, I think that its a way of motivation for Starlight. Yes, it is a way of major despair or trauma for her, but when she wants to give up, the staff is a reminder to her that she is possibly one of the only ones capable of doing it. Its both a major blessing and curse all the same, like a whole other cutie mark that she must use all the time.

    If there is one criticism I have is that you keep saying "I'm trying to find the way of making this the most dangerous" but just... Why ? Why does the illness goes the dangerous sense ? Is it sentient ? Because if the goal is to kill/make ponies go missing, how does it spread ? Is it some sort of magical bio-weapon made to wipe out the pony race ? Is it the work of an unseen villain ? Because, as the logical fact that illnesses generally work in a way to be contagious to continue to spread, this illness seems to not be very good at that. What if, instead of only compelling the ponies to do stuff related to their talent, they want to SHOW their talents, making them seek populated areas to perform in front of crowds to spread the disease.

    • @NekoCrazi
      @NekoCrazi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I do find your point interesting. Yes it would be hard to spread based on idea of wiping out the population of ponies.
      I think a great way to spread it wouldn't be based on to kill or harm to begin with. Just like the idea of using the episode when Applebloom gets loads of cuties. But it's not just Applebloom who gets infected first, but also Zecora unknowingly. Sure Zecora finds out Applebloom has made the potion but finds out too late which ingredients are actually used. For this au, I was thinking how far it could reach and I thought it would be hard to hit Zecora, unless it started in the Everfree Forest because of Applebloom's potion experiment.
      The infection is very slow acting since it is based on the talents.
      Maybe even Zecora try to get the main six for help but infected them because she didn't understand at first what this disease was until too late. Maybe making more of the potions because she can't stop, so might make more infection on accident as well

If their destiny is to help others find their marks, perhaps they all fixate on that but none of them realise they're playing right into the infection's wants. By focusing on getting others their marks, they're only spreading it further and further beyond Starlight's control, unintended though it may be. Not sure about Sunset Shimmer but it would be nice to see her involved too. Either as a help to Starlight or somehow carrying it to the human world after a visit to see what's going on (assuming Starlight hasn't gotten to Twilight's book to warn Sunset prior).

    I feel like twilight would also be someone trying to cure the infection, and whether or not she gets infected she would still run herself to the point of collapsing

      Probably like a Nightmare Moon / Daybreaker parallel where they’re driven insane? Dunno. Their only abilities are controlling the sun and the moon, so… that taken to the extreme? They not only control it, they BECOME it? Or, maybe they’re locked in a constant battle once again on whether or not the sun or moon stays out.

    In my headcanon, Cutie Pox is like Chicken Pox in the way that you become completely immune if you get it once. So I think that they could fix this whole thing by infecting the uninfected ponies with Cutie Pox and then curing them so that they become immune to Cutie Mark Wasting Disease.

    Definitely wanna see some others dealing with the disease, like what about the little ponies? Or other siblings or family members, other fan favorite characters, who is infected or who is immune or fighting to avoid getting infected. There is a lot of potential for this series and I definitely wanna hear about it, this is the most unique one I've seen

    I think it would be really cool to see what a pony that was healed would look like, and what different stages look like instead of just the final stage that we been seeing

    You have any ideas for the other princesses? Luna, Celestia, Cadence? As well as Shining Armor and Flurryheart? I also think seeing how the other races of Equestria are treating the outbreak would be interesting. Even if it's not something they can catch, they'd probably still be taking precautions as a "just in case" thing. I've yet to see one of these that goes into how other races are faring during these horrible events, so it could be an interesting thing to explore, at least in my opinion.

    Something I’d been wondering is how this disease affect the Changlings. As first I thought this would make them immune since y’know they don’t have cutie marks, but I had an idea. What if while they transform say one of them becomes Twilight or something, if they get infected while transformed they are physically stuck as that pony and cannot change back. And what transforming into a pony for a long period of time was draining and made them constantly exhausted and even more in a state of starvation until they eventually die? They don’t have to die obviously lol I do think it’s a unique idea and something to consider.
    Edit: Or instead of that, if they get infected somehow then they’re constantly changing without being able to control it. Meaning they can’t really get any rest or do much of anything.

    Discord with his chaos magic would be the survivors best bet at finding or detaining the mane 6 or other ponies if they were infected.

    i must say reframing starlight's cutiemark removal spell as something that can be used for good (in this case healing/immunizing ponies) is pretty clever

    Cutie pie is the scariest one to me like the way she will go insane doing so many intense things just to make people laugh to the point that she can’t even control her body from all broken bones.

    So, I was thinking about this, and one idea came to mind, completely out of the blue:
    Zecora.
    She'd probably be immune, but... What if she can still carry it, due to being extremely similar to a pony?
    What if she's been infected this whole time, and then she accidentally infected Apple Bloom, who spread it to the rest of the Apple family, who would go on to infect Ponyville?
    She does actually have a Cutie Mark, but its meaning is left ambiguous. Perhaps it has something to do with being magically mysterious?
    And, here's a pretty out there idea:
    Cutie Mark Wasting Disease wiped out the zebras. Perhaps Zecora was fleeing the disease, or possibly just was already infected and, because of her mysterious nature, she just vanished into the Everfree Forest. What if, once all this takes off, she just vanishes again?
    Another concept I thought of is about Tirek.
    He could work with Starlight and Spike, and take the magic of infected ponies, making Starlight's job easier. But, of course, he's a pretty disagreeable guy, so it wouldn't be easy working with him.
    One last thing.
    Where's Discord?
    I imagine that he probably f-ed something up 1000 years ago, and it's only been a problem for the zebras until recently.
    There are a few ideas for what is happening with him:
    1, he's part of the Resistance in some way. (That's what I'm calling the group that's helping Starlight and Spike.)
    2, he's only trying to help Fluttershy. (All you FlutterCord shippers, this one's for you.)
    3, he actually only rarely helps anyone. (This is due to his unpredictable and chaotic nature.)
    4, he disappeared. (Because why not?)
    Take your pick of what you believe is true from here.
    PEACE! ✌️
    (Also, pls make part 3. I NEED IT.)

  • @aelsaellie
    @aelsaellie 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    heres a random idea: theres this pony called dj pon-3, and since she makes music, i was thinking if she was infected she would be forced to keep making music until she makes a track that every, and i mean everyone will like. and you know, differing opinions and whatnot, so she will be stuck repeatedly making music
    (and i know shes a unicorn but idrk how to implement that part of her LOL)

  • @beebitbit3080

    would honestly love to see more of this au! maybe sunset shimmer, imagine her trying to come back and help but she ends up an asymptomatic carrier and accidentally spreads it to the equestria girls world, meaning that two worlds are doomed? or how other characters are affected like the villains and the changelings!

  • @FrostiWcue
    @FrostiWcue 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think that anyone without a cutie mark is completely immune, like changlings. So there could be a ton of allies for starlight, that could potentially help her? I’m pretty sure changlings can perform magic, and others have special abilities, so would this happen in it?
