Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Xolga and Mr. Toko]]'', part of Xolga's backstory is that his father abandoned his alcoholic wife and his son in order to "pursue [his] dreams", essentially leaving thehis child toat the mercy of an alternatively [[Abusive Parents|an alternatively abusive and neglectful mother]] mother. Needless to say, Xolga has issues with both his [[Parental Abandonment]] and people who takes this trope attitude in life. {{spoiler|At the end of the first series, the man returns with his wife after she [[Driven to Suicide|attempted suicide]] due to grief over their son disappearance. Talking with a plushified Xolga, the man confess that he ''still'' hasn't reached his dream, but hopes that rebuilding his marriage will give him some purpose at last.}}

** {{spoiler|Then comes ''Investigations 2'' where he goes right back to being an artist, and his art surprisingly improves. It's a good theory that Larry will probably be an artist for the longest time. After all, in the third game, he wasn't lying when he said that Elise motivated him.}}

** The episode ends with Apple Bloom and two classmates forming a [[Power Trio]] called the Cutie Mark Crusaders, specifically devoted to carrying out this trope. They spend various episodes trying to get their marks. {{Spoiler|Hilariously, they finally get their own marks when they realize that they (both individually and as a trio) are specially good at making ''others'' ponies understand ''theirs''}}
