Description

I was working on color keying the CMC’s gala dresses when I notices particularly in this shot how all three have predominant symbols on this ear decoration, and started to realize how close they could be to effective CMs:
 
Apple Bloom’s piece is very close to what a an apple blossom flower is: full
 
Scootaloo’s is a dragonfly, which arguably describes how Scoots is able to move quickly with a similar fast wing-beating pattern via scooter.
 
The only one that’s not sure but isn’t so far out of reason is the flower for Sweetie Belle, it looks like a tulip to me (Though as convo below shows, its more like a bellflower) If anything, this still ascribes her creative side.
 
This could just be a tin-foil hat theory too :)

The thing is, this season has been mentioned by the creators to be centered a lot of around cutiemarks, and it has already been the center of quite a few episodes this season. So that they will get their cutie marks this season, or at least set it up this season, is very likely.

I’ve just seen this kind of ‘leak’ / ‘theory’ / ‘reveal’ before since Season 1, in fact and it’s all just been speculation.

Yeah, yeah. And now that I think about it, the other members of the Mane Six all wear head pieces that are symbolic of their Cutie Marks as well.
 
We’ll see how this plays out. The Season is still young.

At first i thought too, but then i agreed with the others, brilliant. Mostly because it would show that these three have cutie marks with similar themes! Considering how close they are, this seems the most appropriate

To add one thing to my original idea: notice how Scoot’s piece has a wide plume behind the dragonfly, almost like a speed trail. I could see that being part of Scoot’s CM as well, indicating not only maneuverability but also speed.

The flower refers to apple blossoms, referring to Apple Bloom’s name. The flower is a bellflower, referring to Sweetie Belle’s name. Lastly a dragonfly, referring to how Scoots rapidly flaps her wings while using her scooter.  
And Apple Bloom is good at construction.

Apple Bloom baking cookies, Sweetie Belle planting flowers, Scootaloo studying bugs, makes sense to me.

Thing is, we already know what their talents are (even if they’re still clueless and have no marks yet), and these don’t much describe any of them. With the possible exception of Scootaloo’s, I’m thinking these are just well-designed fascinators tailored to the filly who wears them.

That would actually be pretty damn cool if this was foreshadowing of their actual cutie marks. Also sheer genius.
 
But I’m going to have to wait and see if this turns out to be the truth.
