You may be wondering why this article is entitled "Scootapillar".
It is because I am going to express my feelings on whether or not Scootaloo is disabled.

let's start with yesterday's episode "Flight to the Finish" (a clever play on the term "fight to the finish"). I regard this as a very very special episode, as it touches upon something the fanbase has talked (and argued) about for some time.
In the episode, (mind you I'm going to skip things here) Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon (who I absolutely hate... though Silver Spoon is kinda cute) bully Scoots because she cannot fly, in order to give themselves a chance to win the competition in the Equestria Games.

Still here? Okay.

She doesn't.
Instead, she uses her scooter to win.

Now, I loved this episode, very much in fact, that it's now my favorite episode of Season 4 so far.
BUT there is something that is bothering me about it...

Ever since the episode aired, people are already saying she's disabled.
But what is there to prove this?
They day she "can't" fly in the episode, but that could mean a lot of things. It could ALSO mean she's just a late bloom, and that she WILL fly one day. It's just a matter of time and patience.
Now, Scootaloo didn't fly in this episode, but that doesn't mean she never will. I have a feeling that there is going to be an episode in which she does fly, as well as get her Cutie Mark. But, that might not be for a while, so we just gotta hope and wait.
Something I like that they did with the episode is they made it vague. They left it open to the fans to decide whether or not she's disabled.
I for one, believe she's a late bloom, and she will fly one day.

Now, onto the reason for the title of this article: Scootaloo's Cutie Mark.
They psyched us out in the end with Scoots looking at her flank and gasping.
I swear I was beaming when it happened.
But of course they had to trick us, and instead have her say they could get their Cutie Marks in flag carrying.
I was actually very upset by this.
Anyway, I have been thinking lately about what her Cutie Mark might be.
Then it hit me.
Something original and out of the ordinary.
I believe her Cutie Mark should be: A Caterpillar and a Butterfly.
The caterpillar representing the fact that caterpillars don't have wings yet, and are unable to fly. They have to let their wings grow, and only then, will they become Butterflies and fly.
Scootaloo is like a caterpillar.
She has to wait for her wings to mature, and only then, can she fly.

Right now, she is a caterpillar, but soon, she will be the butterfly.

What are your thoughts?
