@CobaltTheMadMage The third eyes on my ponies pun on “mind’s eye”; this is an eye a brain has materialised to see independently of its host. The personality lies within the brain, not the eye, as the brains can leave their hosts and float around as independent beings. Despite this I often refer to the brains as third eyes since that is their distinctive feature.
Depending on their host, third eyes can see things normal ponies can’t, e.g. Parcly’s (Key Sync) can see the chemical structure of anything that might be in front of her as well as perform very complex calculations without feeling tired. In essence a third eye per se is a representation of the rational part of a pony - the soul is the emotional part - and the pattern within its pupil (a hexagon for Key Sync) is akin to a cutie mark but also hints at the host pony’s philosophies. Like the corresponding chakra on the forehead, in other words, but secularised.
Third eyes on brains, dullahans, genies, dullahan genies, dullahan genies with eyes on their brains, now genie programs? Has Parclytaxel ever written any sort of guide to her version of Equestria because it has me confused now.
Ah, ok. Still think there’s a Bloodborne/Mikolash “Cage” joke waiting to be made.

Ok that bit I guess I get, but I’m still confused by all the third eyes.
Especially the ones on brains, because now when I see that I immediately think of Bloodborne.
