Or she’d become a bully like her canon counterpart as a response to being bullied, it makes perfect sense, she gets bullied for having a “lame” cutie mark, so she bullies the cmc for having NO cutie marks. it’s the hierarchy of bullying, the low feed on those even lower than them as a way to make the pain stop.

“Greetings, students, and welcome to a new school year. We here at Insert A Name Here Junior High want everyone to have a safe and rewarding educational experience but, unlike other schools, we here at Insert A Name Here believe that students should play a more active role in the safety aspect of that experience. That’s why we decided to implement a new anti-bullying program that we’re sure you’re going to love. We have a zero tolerance policy on bullying. It has no place in this or any school. So Smartphone owners are encouraged to record any bullying they see and submit the video to the front office. For each student that school security staff can confirm is bullying another student in your video, you receive $100.00 cash. And don’t worry about racing to be the first; multiple video submissions of the same incident will still be paid out. If we expel said student, you get an additional $100.00. Sounds like a good deal, doesn’t it? Don’t have a smartphone? We can issue you a hacked phone that only records video and calls 911. To those of you who are here for education, we salute you and wish you all the best. Rest assured, you do not stand alone. To those of you who are bullies, you are the ones who stand alone. So watch your ass - because we, the school staff and maybe the student sitting right next to you, are prepared to kick you in it. When it comes to bullying, this is not a school. This is a war; one which we fully intend to win.”
 
Before anyone decides to tell me how this could never work in a million years, please understand one thing ahead of time: I’m sure you’re right. I was just having a little fun imagining this scenario.

Speaking personally, I became a snarker and a smart-aleck as a defense mechanism of sorts, so it’s possible Silver Spoon’s personality would still resemble her canon counterpart’s.

While I highly doubt that this resembles what Silver Spoon’s past likely is, it does make me wonder how she’d turn out if she was picked on for being different. Maybe she’d be exponentially shyer compared to the more confrontational attitude that she has in most of her appearances in the show, or maybe she’d try joining up with other foals who don’t exactly fit in.
 
On a more serious note, I do like how Silver Spoon’s emotions are shown here. Really adds to it in my opinion.

Don’t buy it. The whole “bullies are made by being bullied” thing has long since moved from trope to cliché. No. Some children (and fillies) are just scumbags.
 
Eventually, most of them will grow out of it. A few won’t. Silver Spoon showed signs of growing out of it long before Diamond Tiara did.

Destiny, may bad.

Desinty?

Not necessarily: a lot of fans of Silver Spoon think her talent might have something to do with cooking or food. The fact her VA (Shannon Chan-Kent) happens to be a foodie is just the icing on the cake as far as that headcanon is concerned.

@Pepsi Twist  
But Silver Spoon doesn’t have an uninteresting cutie mark; she has one that describes her perfectly. She’s a child of privilege, born into the upper class of Pony society. Her “special talent” is being entitled.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
It’s intended to be a little different. Since Babs Seed didn’t have her cutie mark, she would have likely been bullied for being blank flank or for being chubby by the other fillies. This has Silver Spoon being made fun of for having what appears to be an uninteresting cutie mark, and she later meets Diamond Tiara who tells her the meaning of her cutie mark isn’t important, but having one is all that matters (this is before Dia got her cutie mark).

@Twifan  
While I like this pic, I’m not sure I like that origin for Silver Spoon: it’s too much like Babs Seed for my liking.

@Twifan  
thats not really how the world works you know…

@Crystal Neighybánya  
A very similar one, until Diamond Tiara came around and became her friend. DT protecting her from bullies by making them both bullies would explain her loyalty to Diamond Tiara until Diamond Tiara pushed it too far.

Hugs Silver Spoon
 
@Twifan  
So the same origin as Babs Seed?

Poor Silver Spoon… :( I wish I could make her feel better… :(

@youregoingtoloveme  
I think this is more of what leads to her “dishing it out”, not because of her acts. She got bullied so much before that she ended up becoming a bigger bully in self defense.

What goes around comes around, Silver Spoon. You’ve dished it out so take it like a pro and ignore them.

I sense a filly in need of a hug.
 
And about six more in need of a slap.
