Not a Huge fan of the series, but I understand and know a tiny little bit about magic, concerning Pan & Paper RPG's, MMO's and many other thing.

I try to disect the Aspects I see here.

First and foremost, from what I remember of the Animation and Story, all the Alicorns have one huge Differance.

Their Mane / Hair

If you notice one thing, than that Celestia, Luna and Twillight have Floating Hair.
This I conect with a attunment of them and their enviroment and the Planet.

First - Celestia Rises the Sun and is essential responsible, if if Passiv, for Light, Life and Creation.
Pretty much Every living being needs Light to Survive. Through Light Life is Born, in this case, not just new Pony's but Crobs, Fruit etc. and with life and light comes Creation.

Second - Luna Rises the Moon and is essential responsible, again Passivly, for Darkness, Death, Destruction.
In work, with Darkness shrouded around the World, life ends and follows the flow of Death, with Death comes Destruction.

Thous 2 Resemble, essentialy, the Balance of Life. Yin and Yang, good and Evil. I don't know the series as well as you guys, but I would bet Celestia is the more Docile, Friendly one while Luna the more Aggresiv one.

Now how does this tie with Twillight, whos Hair in the end flows as well?

Twillight, in my Understanding, is Balance. She resambles neither Light nor Dark. She is more grey. However her Power is more atunned with the Magic of the World it self.

That rises the question, why isn't Cadance hair floating whenn she, litteraly, embodies Love? Simple, Love is a single emotion, and can, in Balance, not exists alone. An Alicorn that resambles Hate would be needed to Balance, and proberly makes her hair float. Or she would need a connection to ALL Emotions that are Positiv, THAT however is not possible, because, in my Understandin, only ONE can resamble that, and in this case, resambling Light and with it, all Possitiv emotions as well, is Celestia.

Now Fast forward to the Magic.

Magic in it self, is Spiritual Energy, or Chi. While Physical Energy is most ofte called Ki.

Now we know this energies from Animes. Ki for example is the Physical energy from Dragon Ball Z. But also appears in Highschool DxD or Streetfighter and so on.
Now understanding Chi and Ki I come to the following Conclusion:

Earthponies - While possesing Chi, they have a higher form of Ki, earned thrugh Hard work, Physical Labor and so on.
Pegasi - have a Somewhat Balance of Chi and Ki, but lean more in the direction of Ki from their Flying Ability.
Unicorns - Posses little Ki but have an Abbudance of Chi, mostly born from their Creativity and Magic useage.

But what of Alicorns? Well my Take here is, Alicorns are Balanced Perfectly. 50/50 in Chi and Ki, that does not make them Automatically stronger or better. A Strong Ki user, like and Earthpony could properlly still hurt and Alicorn Badly. The same with and Unicorn and so on.

What makes Alicorns special, in my take, is the Balance, and alignment to a certain Worldly aspect.

Someone connected strong enough, and with a pre desposed energy core, could become an Alicorn, when he Circumstances are meet.
For example, that Filly who absorbs Power, Ki and Chi, from different Ponies and somewhat reaches a False version of Balance.

Now the Born Alicorn is more Complex. Either Shining Armor has a Pre-Deposision to become a Alicorn himself or Cadance, despite being an Alicorn has a higher existing Physical energy, but Balances thous out with Controll. With Shining being a Unicorn he has more Chi, and the end, a Foal that has a Born perfect balance.

How that theory comes, is from the existance of Blue Blood, who is, according to Wiki and other sources, Celestias decendant, BUT is an Unicorn, wich would mean, somewhere in her Life, Celestia hat a Mate or Lover, that was Porperlly a Unicorn.

Now Going with Magic, everything has energy, Stones, Plants, Animals, humans... everything. What My theory is, to become an Alicorn you must be:

First - Pre-Designed for it. (Destiny, fate, foresight... whatever)
Second - You talent needs to be something Universal. (Celestias Talent is the Sun. Luna the Moon and Twillight Magic itself)
Third - You need a Balance of Chi and Ki thats near perfect

3 Reqquierments to become a "True" Alicorn.
That leaves us with a Problem - What are True and False Alicorns?

Simple but, I take Hasbro's take here.

True Alicorns have one thing that other Alicorns don't have. Free floating Mnes / Hair / Tails.
False Alicorns don't have that.

That would also mean, currently, only Twillight, Celestia and Luna are True Alicorns.
While Cadance, and the 2 Fillies are False Alicorns.

Does that change things?
Maybe. It could be that the Differance between True and False could be Lifespan.
For example - Cadance could only live for 100 - 200 Years while Celestia, Luna and Twillight could be Immortal or just Eternal young and Undying.

It could also mean that the 3 True Alicorns are just meant to protect the Planet, or that the Magic itself maybe has it's own Mind or existance.
That could only be awnsered by Hasbro and the MLP creators.

And even my take on it, could be completly wrong, and Alicrons are just Alicorns.
Maybe they are just the beginning, maybe there where MORE Alicorns.
Maybe it was 4 Types to begin with but only Celestia and Luna where left.

Who really knows.

Anyway, hope that makes somewhat sense, sadly I'm german and my English is not that perfect or good. In germna I could propperly explain it in detail more.

But as they say, food for thought's.

Cheers~

I completely agree, but also disagree. Cozy Glow ( however you spell ) stole the bell and got the magic. But at the same time, the bell only works when magic gets drained. And that episode was the time the princesses magic got drained. So that’s why cozy glow must’ve got the princesses magic. And if thats not true, the bell is locked up and no longer able to use. Because some pony’s like cozy don’t deserve it. So it would make since why it’s important to be an alicorn. Its also important because you have to be a good ruler or your kingdom well fall with the type of treatment you treat the kingdom, so that would he explained why being an alicorn is important. So the only reason cozy turned into a alicorn is bc the princesses magic was drained. And yhe magic belll is locked up from now on, nobody can use it anymore.

Maybe Cadence got her wings by spreading love to everypony then when she healed Prismia's heart she got her wings then.


Maybe it's a combination? Luna and Celestia were meant to rule together as sisters, Cadence was meant to rule with her husband, Twilight was meant to rule with her friends (Why there not alicorns I'll get to later) Flurry Heart is meant to rule with her mother. Now, why aren't Shining Armor and the remane 5 alicorns? They only have one of each type of magic. Celesta, Luna, Cadence, Twilight and Flurry Heart all have magic from all three tribes. Cozy Glow, one the other hoof, gained the magic of the other two tribes after forming a bond with the people SHE was meant to rule with: Queen Chrysalis and Prince Tirek. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.


I love how the Gen5 movie basically conforms this XD


is it weird to say that im kinda confused by the alicorns wings? i guess that the way that their wings look depends on how old they are? since every alicorn have the same looking wings, exept Celestia, so thats where the confusions comes, Luna, shes almost as old as her sister, probably at least, but her wings still looks nothing like her sisters, could that be because she was stuck in time (kind of) while banished to the moon? so like, when she returned she was the same age as when she was banished? so if she had never been banished maybe her wings would have looked like Celestias? well im still a bit confused about that, im gonna check if you've made any videos on alicorn wings, if you haven't maybe you could? it seems to me that its a kinda big subjekt to tackle, love your videos btw :))

oh wait.. the "older" version of Twilight, looks just like Celestia (kind of) the taller body type, and the wings! so that just confuses me even more! why did Twlilight grow into that in such a short time? that makes the Luna situation even more confusing! since she probably shold have grown taller and gotten more grown wings during the whole nine seasons! my brain cant take this, what makes Luna so different here? why is she still so small during all seasons of the show? i want answers, but how do i find them? oh well good luck to me, kind of..


Here's my theory. What if every race of pony has a specific measure of magic on a scale. Like earth ponies have 500v of magic and Pegasus with unicorns have a balance of 5,000v of magic. What if,you have to surpass that to become an alicorn like 10,000v of magic. (?)
If so, for example, when twilight became an alicorn, her knowledge widened and her magic was amplified.It just shows how the more magic you have, the stronger you are. It supports your thesis on pegasus wing theory, that it's a form of magic that enables them to fly.

Does it teach us morals then? Twilight earned it through completing star swirls theory but cozy glow did it through greed and lack of responsibility?


I think we should know that non unicorns  can become alicorns because cadence was originally a pegasus before becoming an alicorn


Cozy Glow didn't become exactly an alicorn. she become a Magic Pegasus. think about it, if you see the picture again Grogar was taking magic only from the unicorns. So Cozy already had pegasus magic and she tooke unicorn magic too, but to use unicorn magic she was needed to have a horn. this is what I think.


Cozy glow didn't prove that non unicorns can become alicorns because Cadence had done that long ago so it has been proven that non unicorns can become alicorns.If ponies only need magic for being an alicorn then why is starlight glimmer not an alicorn?


Uh... not sure if anyone actually read the my little pony books but there’s a book called “twilight and the crystal heart spell” in the book it’s mentioned that cadence was a young Pegasus before she became an alicorn. I don’t remember it clearly as it’s been a good while since I read it, (maybe 5-6 years) but I will recite from the book

-“when I was found as a baby Pegasus in a forest far, far away,”
Cadence had told twilight how some wary ponies from a nearby village took her in as their own little filly. As she grew up, the natural love and compassion she had for the other ponies filled everyone with warmth, and the urge to protect her.
But all was not well for long.
An evil enchantress named Prismia lives alone nearby, she rarely came out of her cottage. She felt nothing but jealousy for the other ponies in the village. The way they loved and took care of one another, yet no pony who cared for her.
Prismia always wore a powerful necklace, witch she cared for more than anything else in the world. It served to amplify the evil and jealousy within her own heart, until prismia’s bad feelings and the power of the necklace finally took over.
She cast a spell on the villagers that leeched all the love from them their families and their homes, hoping to capture some of this love for herself, causing everyone to be distraught and sad.

Cadence decided she was not going to let this happen, so she went to see Prismia.. luckily, the enchantresses power not only amplified the enchantress but also amplified the power of cadences love.
So; she defeated Prismia with her incredible gift of compassion and love.

—Once Prismia has changed her horrid ways, a magical energy was said to surround cadence, she was transported to a strange place, seeing princess celestia herself. This sealed cadences Fate, celestia bringing cadence back to canterlot to raise young cadence as her very won royal niece.
The special loving young princess.

This was from the book, I think it matches well with the theory you put up here.

Edit: spelling

Do you think the necklace is the alicorn amulet

Im pretty sure the books were said to not be canon, though it's definitely fun to imagine she was once a pegasus!

It hasn't been confirmed as canon and many don't believe it to be.


I love how everytime you say yoshi dark lord you say it like it's suposed to be said in the way that humanity is a mistake


It's just unfair that cozy glow could get alicorn magic just like that and the others have to earn it except flurry heart


Could a normal pony be a alicorn? We've only seen pegasi and unicorns become one so what about the ponies that don't have wings or horns?


@Sawtooth Waves <br>I've been thinking about this... In season 2 EP 13 we see that the 2 bakers(Both earth pony's) get 2 babies... The babies are 1 Pegasus and 1 unicorn, they say it comes from there (bakers) grand parents being 1 pegasus and 1 unicorn... But... What if... They got 1 baby? Was there a chance it would have been an alicorn??? Because the bakers are both earth pony's and they have magic in them from pegasus and unicorn that they give to the baby... Let me know what you think please😉😁

If this is true, this leaves another question..
Why can’t the rest of the mane 6 be alicorns?
If alicorns have nothing god-like, and you don’t need specific magic, then unless I’m missing something, that should allow just anyone to become an alicorn. The magic from different tribes should be easy enough. Firstly, they have each other, and twilight’s transformation didn’t require any special magic. Just her own spell she wrote and the elemeeeeennnnn........ oh right... so that’s a problem. So the how is unclear, but every alicorn has had at least a little bit of a different way of becoming one. We might be able to find something eventually, but for the time being, the question is “why?”. You could point to them not having the right potential, because that was the excuse beforehand (or the creators didn’t want 6 Mary Sues, take your pick), but now that we know there’s no “potential” involved, then what’s the excuse now?
Sometimes I just imagine situations where the rest of them become alicorns/princesses through a test of their element (taken to the extreme), ignoring the information the show gives.

Knowing that an alicorn is a mix of the three tribes, earth ponies like AJ and Pinkie would have to adjust a lot. They would have to learn about flying AND magic unlike Twilight. You see, Cadence was a pegasus before becoming an alicorn. Twilight was a unicorn. Luster Dawn who i believe to be the next princess, is also a unicorn. None of them were really known to be an earth pony.  Seeing that, I think its possible for an earth pony to become an alicorn, its just gonna be hard for them to adjust.

That was so crazy and I don't know what it is and I don't know and I don't know anything at all I don't know anything because I don't know anything yeah yeah yeah and my heart pinkie pie pinkie pie

This is interesting, but I think it takes more than the magic simply being present. I definitely agree that there is nothing all that special about being an allicorn, but I also think merging all that magic together takes a lot of skill and is potentially quite volatile.

My take is that especially when Twilight became an alicorn, she was the center of the magics intention. Past that.... no one has probably tried since it was always seen as a royal thing.

You say the cozy glow is proof that non-unicorns can become alicorns, but Cadence was a pegasus before she became an alicorn.


Not ALL  Non Alicorns CAN become Alicorns. the Cozyglow one was true, but not Non Alicorns can become Alicorns. Need to be known worthy of what the gods will give them. Like Celestia and Luna, Twilight, Cadence and Flurry Heart.

Bye, I am a big fan 😊

Maybe Celestia Luna became a princess when she was one-horned and Celestia got a cute sign? The same goes for Luna


Best thing about this is that the new film CONFIRMS this


Awesome theory! though there is still one question that lingers my mind, are alicorns immortal, (meaning they live forever) or do they just have a large age span? How were Celestia and Luna able to live that long? Did Luna ever really age while she was imprisoned in the moon?

If anyone thinks they have an idea, please reply and let me know. it be cool to see what others think!

@Muralee that could still mean that she just has a longer life span than her friends, doesn't mean she's immortal. No proof that they are immortal (like the alicorn princess involved with the love spell, we don't know where she is now!)

@Muralee Oh I see, I must've missed that! Dang, still so much mystery about alicorns. It is sad knowing that Twilight would outlive her friends. Its kinda downside of being an Alicorn huh. We would also come to the realization that the elements of harmony would need new wielders. <br>Thanks for the clarification though!

Alicorns DO have immortality. In the episode where Sawtooth explains about Stallicorn Shining Armor, he said that Twighlight has the IMMORTALITY that her friends don't. There's my ansswer.


I have a question. Why does Flurry Heart born with a different look? I mean, look at the babies Pinkie babysit. They have big lifeless eyes. But, Flurry Heart had already a "grown" look. Why? Is it just for the design? Or, to make her special? Or, it was months later?


I don’t think Cozy Glow was actualy an Alicorn and here is why, so I don’t think she has the earth magic by because she was full of magic she needed some way to express it so she got a horn and kept her wings


yeah but cadence was a pegasus before too, being an alicorn is special, you have to earn it usually


I believe it's true....good explaining 👍

I’m a Pegasus because I like to fly and pegasus is kind of in the middle of pony stuff

@Keroko its to bad they ended the show so soon. There are many ideas they could've used with earth ponys. Like Pinkie Pie, she has extreme power nobody will ever understand and apple jack is extremely strong. But I'd rather be a unicorn and make spells to gimme strength and practice magic to get extreme power.

@Random Name Yeah, that's what I mean. Earth ponies have always been kind of a third leg. Pegasi can fly and manipulate weather, unicorns can cast spells, earth ponies... can farm really good? We really could have used a couple of episodes digging into what makes earth ponies special and give them a unique magic to play with.

@Keroko i dont exactly like earth ponys. I find nothing special about them and i ALWAYS thought if i were a pony I'd probably be a alicorn or unicorn. Ever since i were five. I am ten... turning eleven tomorrow. And alicorns have the power of earth ponys. I understand what you are trying to say, but i just like unicorns and pegusus'/pegasi more.

@Random Name The lack of earth ponies in your choice is rather disheartening. They really could have used more exploration of their magic.

Ha! you got a dislike from me, I don't understand what you're saying, but you said dislike in bold, so, yeah. I do like the comment though.

I always thought in the new generation of mlp (celestias kids and twilights and pinkies ect) my oc is friends with Moonlight Sonnet. (Im not sure how to spell it.)

@Random Name true😂<br>That's the reason😁

I like alicorns because you dont have choose between a unicorn or a Pegasus.


Wouldn't unicorns have earth pony magic? Same with pegasus pony's? Because unicorns don't have wings and pegasus pony's don't have horns but  if you combine them together they make an alicorn, representing all three tribes.


There is something special with being an Alcorn one thing you do not age normally like the rest of the people you look the same when you’re a big pony or did you not notice how Rainbow Dash and the rest of twilights friends got old but did not grow but twilight got bigger and she’ll probably be alive for a lot longer than they will


Wait so Flurry has alicorn magic, because her mom, Cadence has alicorn magic. Also her father is unicorn and the ponies in the empire are earth ponies.


It probably is that simple. But, you left out the war and lingering disharmony between the three before Celestia and Luna took the unicorn wizards places. While some episodes tried to explain it, not every pony type could get along as long as Earth Ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns were forced to rely so much on each other. They didn't trust each other because their alliance and cooperation was forced by their survival. Unicorns give sun to crops and nights to rest, Pegasi provided rain and wind, and all food came from the farming skills of the Earth Ponies. But, since it was just essential to survival, none of them made a bond with each other by force  without the Wendigos pushing in some alone time with a select few. But, assuming two little unicorns were able to take all of the wizards place in raising the sun and moon, the unicorns were free from their forced work and had the chance to experience the world differently including taking the chance to see from Earth Ponies' and Pegasi's perspectives. All because of two extremely powerful unicorn sisters. On top of that, two unicorns were able to accomplish what originally took dozens of unicorns, so it would be impossible for any pony to not appreciate and respect the power they had. Not only did they ease the pressure on the unicorns and help them cooperate with other pony species and probably took in the power from the other two that way, they were likely feared for their immense power which may be why alicorns have a royal status

And when did I become a pony theorist?  :/


What about the Book "The Journal of the two Sisters" ? According to that they were Alicorns before they met Star Swirl and were chosen to Control the Sun and Moon and Rule over Equestria

https://aminoapps.com/c/equestria/page/blog/alicorns-origin/x5wn_R3i2u67DL5q4W4xw4aqdjz1l5ojE4

Hearts and hooves alicorn

" Apparently, some prince a long time ago whipped up this recipe and gave it to this princess he liked. He meant it to be a love potion, but things didn't turn out so well."

" Well, there's something here about a dragon, the kingdom falling, chaos reigning... Okay, apparently it was all because the prince and princess were so lost in each other's eyes that they couldn't perform their royal duties. "

That is what we know of this princess, mentioned in Hearts and hooves day.

So this is what I think of alicorns:

Long ago, even before Equestria was founded, there was a kingdom, ruled by an alicorn princess, an earth pony prince gave her a love potion that turned to be a love poison, they couldn't perform their royal duties and the kingdom fall into chaos.

Celestia and Luna lived on this kingdom with their alicorn parents, who died in this chaos.

Equestria was founded. One day princess Celstia helped the unicorns raising the sun.

Star Swirl saw her potential, so he took both sisters and trained them to became the new rulers of Equestria. He created a dimension where ponies with the potential to became alicorns are transported and transformed into alicorns.

He studied alicorns and created a spell to transform ponies into alicorns, giving the magic from the 3 types of ponies to the ponies that are meant to rule.

The pilars go to limbo, and Nightmare moon is banished to the moon.

Cadence is transported to the magical dimension and is turned into an alicorn, Celestia takes her to Canterlot.

The same happened to Twilight.
Shining armor and Cadence have a child Flurry Heart, her desteny was to rule the Crystal Empire, and has alicorn magic from her mother so she is born alicorn.

What do you think of the theory?

@RiRi They had their cutiemark very late. They got it a while after the coronation<br>they didn't have cutie marks before the crowning( according to the journal of the two sisters)

@RiRi They had their cutiemark very late. They got it a while after the coronation
they didn't have cutie marks before the crowning( according to the journal of the two sisters)

Actually I think they were born unicorns and the moment they first raised the (whatever thing) they got their cutie marks and star swirly Dora made them alicorns or whatever lol O-O


You probably got it wrong, every princess has role to succeed, Princess Celestia rules the Sun, Princess Luna rules the moon, Twilight is in charge of the magic in friendship, and Ceydence is ruler of the Crystal empire. Celestia and Luna was probably shocked about the baby being an Alicorn because it was probably never done before, but as we can see each princess has a role, The baby was the reason why the crystal heart was saved, so she did have a role to play when she was born. Also i think there was a ruler before the royal sisters, maybe as in their parents or something, Princess Twilight turned into a princess because she finished her studies and did something no one was ever able to- she litterally switched her 6 friends magic cutie mark and then restored them, not only that but she fixed a spell that was made more then thousands of years by a GRAND wizard and she had the power of magic. Cadence got the knowledge to protect the crystal empire with her bare horn and even ruled a land of people by herself with some help by a GUARD as his husband, she also got knowledge and she is kind. Princess Celestia did something no one else can, she moved a sun, and according to your tale,she did it without the power of an Alicorn wich probably made her change into an Alicorn, and a princess. Princess Luna also did something no one else could wich was move the Moon wich also turned her into an Alicorn and a Princess. Cozy Glow did get magic power as an Alicorn, but even though it was already Sincked into her, power as in Alicorn was taken, but what about when Twilight kept loosing her power, she still was a princess and its supposed to be combined. There is a purpose for Alicorns, and its because they had did something that has changed the pony world l, something people like a wizard who didn't believe Twilight, lost a friend and made a bad spell couldn't do, and something mean as taking others cutie marks to feel equal to all of them like starlight. Even though they messed up they did fix it, but the wizard only saved the world probably 2 times and helped others millions, and so did Starlight, but Twilight saved the world more then 17 times and helped others, and learned about friendship, and many other things such as true magic in friendship!

Sorry its a bit long and some of my spelling is bad.


Me: Well, it’s probably just when a unicorn and pegasus have babies together!
Sawtooth:

Oh it’s much more complicated than that.

Me: Well, it’s probably just when a unicorn and pegasus have babies together!
Sawtooth:

*Oh it’s much more complicated than that.*


When you think about it cadence is the only Alicorn with a child so I think this can happen again


Imagine something else comes up and Sawtooth will release another vid "NOW I've solved alicorns! "


I think all alicorns received some sort of love from all tribes through one way or another. twilight, from her friends. Cadence from shining and her subjects, celestia and luna from the recently United tribes, flurry, from genes, and cozy from absorbing it from the bell


I feel like cozy glow would be a type of friend that would be a prick but a good friend to Flurry heart


This makes no sense. There is literally a huge thing that’s special about being an alicorn. Alicorns are and always will be more powerful. The reason there were concerns about flurry heart was because she couldn’t control her magic and she was an alicorn. Twilight has been so much more powerful since being an alicorn, the princesses power are insane because they are alicorns. Power makes them special. Simple as that. Thank you.


Hmmm i like to belive that princess Celestia and Luna were born alicorns, like Flurry Heart, and then since there was not more alicorns, they used their magic to make them so that there can be more rulers for their world. But, Cadence may be and may not be alicorn made by Celestia


About the baby unicorn there was that heart incident which lead to the crystal ponies renewing their faith and they had unicorn earth ponies and pegasus and since the princess is connected to that heart the power of all 3 races was shared with their daughter since the heart acknowledged the baby as well or so I think I don't know if I explained it well


“Wait it’s just about magic and power?”<br>“Always has been”

“Wait it’s just about magic and power?”
“Always has been”


What If being a alicorn isn't related to just being worthy of ruling and being with the 3 magic but ... Destiny just like the cutie mark system ?
Like the names and cutie marks almost match with the pony and what he is destined to be ... If being an alicorn for the "Good people " requires not only achieving tasks like twilight but also being know or destinated to be ? Didn't Celestia say when twilight became an alicorn I knew you could do it like she established the school itself as a prophecy of  knowing that twilight capacity or affinity to magic and making her a condidtae to the crown which leads is also to how they knew or when ? Maybe their disappearance after twilight becaming the queen is also  related that's for the good ones but the exception always exist ? So out of the prophecy that didn't mention the existence of another person becoming an alicorn cuz they will be born to replace their parents ? .....
As for the bad one I believe the magic that candy pony had was as a sign of accepting the ownership of all kind of magic is the answer like when the 3 types of magic accepted her with force as an owner it's like accepting her to rule despite her origins is what made her able to become an alicorn
Welp I did mix up things 😅😅😅💃


En realidad solo se convirten en alicornios de ser necesario....  Tipo la hija de Candes o como se llame, fue por qué necesitaba que alguien siguiera su trono... Twilight fue, porque las princesas celestia y luna necesitaban un sucesor...  Y así sucesivamente

They actually only become unicorns if necessary ... Just as celestia and luna needed a successor (like Twilight) candel or whatever it's called, needed a successor also then flory was born or whatever his daughter is called (It is probably very poorly translated, sorry, but what a laziness to translate it well)


now think about changelings they are kind of like alicorns. they have horns and wings. idk about earth pony magic but maybe. lol that would be crazy if they have magic from all 3 since they are all like that. but they do feed on love from all so maybe they could get that power from the 3 types of pony.


There’s nothing SPECIAL about being an ALICORN

Twilight: Celestia, I don’t want to be an alicorn anymore

Cosy Glow and Flurry Heart could be great friends if Cosy wasn’t evil


Simple: Genes. Celestia also has power to change Genes so that's why cozy glow lost her horn and twilight was still an alicorn. Celestia changed twilights genetic makeup and cozy glow just had her body powered from magic.


Cozy Glow isn't the only non unicorn to become an alicorn. Cadance was a pegasus first


There's:
Game theory
Film theory
Food theory
And Finally at last:
Pony theory

But thats just a theory.. A PONY theory. thanks for watching.

Lol, I was like thinking the same thing!! 😂

But then everything changed when the food nation attacked

Well if MatPat won't do any theories on MLP cause he's probably scared he'll be mocked a brony, someone else would have to do it, <points at Sawtooth> this guy

@Sprinkle UwU not all people play piggy,i dont even know if its that popular

The four alicorns of the Theory Kingdom of YouTube


Flurry Heart (Hasbro) ruined all the concept for toys sake. Case closed.<br>Cool vídeo!

Flurry Heart (Hasbro) ruined all the concept for toys sake. Case closed.
Cool vídeo!


In a way, I agree with you but I think that the reason Alicorns are special because you have to be born or EARN it To truly become an alicorn, like have it become part of your DNA. so whenever we see anyone in the show who is an Aliacorn and they get their magic drained, because it’s like partif their DNA now they keep their wings and horns. Cozy pumped herself full of magic, but she didn’t earn it, twilight had her whole ceremony thing with celesta and stuff and became an Alicorn by doing something to earn it, while cozy glow did not have any of this.


I LOVE YOU PLEASE KEEP ON MAKING MLP CONTENT!-


Celestia and Luna didn't become Alicorns.. it says in their diaries and by the creator of the show themselves that they come from a society of Alicorns.. then beard wizard man came to them and was like "hey lmao come help we need a ruler and you can represent all of us"

Unless that isn't canon


I came back to the channel after about 5 years, glad to see it's still going strong! It took me a while to find because I was searching The Brony Notion


Interesting theory Sawtooth,now let me tell u a theory that‘s been on my mind; is Lightning Dust SpitFire‘s daughter ?


What if
When you have the three tribes magic you become an alicorn but
The reason it is something that resembles leadership is because to truly become an Alicorn you must do a great deed and similar to other parts of the series evil can cheat their way to it but they can’t keep it for the fact they did not earn it

As for flurry heart I’m not sure how she would fall in to this theory besides being daughter to candence 🤷


Simple solution, what if Cozy Glow is Cadence’s sister? Because Cadence married Twilight’s brother soooooo


when pinkiepie absorbed all that magic for a split second in that one episode why didn't she turned into a alicorn? Can earth ponys not become alicorns?


Starswirl is a unicorn....

Me: well we have never seen his back....

woah,you guys are taking this way too seriously. It was just a joke.

Me: we can’t trust star swirl
Other people: why?
Me: we never saw his back to trust him!

Even Sawtooth showed it to us on the truth about star swirl vid.

But in Friendship University we kinda saw his back

actually we kinda have, I don't remember what episode it was, but he's shown river rafting at one point. No wings.


0:34 Only Pegasus, it only proves that unicorns and pegasus can become alicorns. That doesn't exolain if earth ponies can become alicorns.
Also we already know pegasus can become alicorns, Cadence was pegasus before becoming alicorn


I think flurry got her wings from when the heart was restored to the empire because Cadence was probably pregnant.


Dont forget the crystaling.. wait you said that.... anyway! Its possible cadence had been through a cryataling while preggers hence why baby flurry ended up an alicorn she had the power in the womb and thus born as so!


hold up. when tirek drained twilight, she didn’t turn back into an earthpony or a unicorn…


Just wait until the next generation of my little pony, there's gonna be a whole other 5 videos of "finally solving the alicorn situation"

@oOf welp g5 is on the same universe as g4 soooo

@oOf yes but there is a official generation 5 containing cgi animation and the lore of the mane 6

But others gen arent related<br>Their hsistory, concept, rules are totally different.

But others gen arent related
Their hsistory, concept, rules are totally different.


Who added the horn on cozy glow? I found that same photo... Without her horn.
Also, there WAS nothing special about being an alicorn. I can explain details later. But now, there is only becoming of an alicorn bc they gain Alicorn Magic. Cozy got sun and moon magic from Celie and Luna.
Also, no matter how much you may fight it, it all ads up to the fact that Celestia and Luna, were born Alicorns, but must have been in a place outside of equestria, and a place where an Alicorn would be born. Or thru all their years, there were never any Alicorn births.


Going about watching theories and I’m not happy with myself but also it’s awesome at the same time lmao


the original creator of the showed stated in a meeting thing that she thinks celestia and luna are born alicorns, the theory is, yes while flurry is the first known equestrian alicorn to be born she isn’t the first alicorn to be born at all, just only in equestria. celestia and luna come from a  race OF alicorns. so celestia and luna seeing cadence (an original pegasus) and shining armor( a unicorn) somehow make a alicorn was probably very strange because she wasn’t a descendent from the alicorn race


im really disappointed that cadence being a pegasus is not what made you realize pegasi can become alicorns


I'm not even really a pegasister anymore but I'll toss my two cents in:

My own personal headcanon is kind of the same as yours, but from a different angle: rather than alicorns simply being the result of the three tribes' magic getting smushed together into one body, I like to think that alicorns are--or rather, were--the default state of being for ponies, before somehow a bunch of them were stripped of parts of their magic (something like you suggest in your more recent video with Cozy Glow and Sombra), and thus modern earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi are the distant descendents of these de-horned, de-winged, and de-everythinged alicorns, only a third of what their very ancient ancestors once were. Thus, an alicorn is basically what happens when the three types of magic are reunited and a pony is made completely "whole" again.

I too have the same headcanon, because it makes more sense for the three tribes to be the devolved state of the pony race rather than an evolution.


Maybe only princesses can be alicorns? Like a pony can only become an alicorn if they were destined to be a princess (or some sort of royalty) because wasn’t Twilight proclaimed a princess as soon as (and because) she became an alicorn? As for Cosy Glow it could simply be a case of the bell having some sort of alicorn magic which turned her into an alicorn, the only other time we’ve seen someone take alicorn magic was tirek but he wasn’t a pony so couldn’t have become an alicorn and Chrysalis was a changeling and all changelings are rather alicorn-esque (conspiracy theory??) Perhaps becoming an alicorn is a sort of message from destiny or smth like it’s not something that is earned as in not anypony can have it, only a select few chosen by destiny can become an alicorn to signify too all the other ponies that they are to be one of their leaders/princesses and will now begin to do do things that will benefit all of equestria. In Flurry Heart’s case the reason she was born an alicorn could be that she was destined to have a great impact benefiting all of equestria since birth, perhaps just her very existence is benefiting all of equestria in a way we don’t understand because she is a baby and the other ponies may find out later on in her life in a way which would explain her stained glass window.


Sawtooth Waves: Cozy Glow is proof that none unicorns can become alicorns<br>Me: pretty sure Kadends was a pegisis

Sawtooth Waves: Cozy Glow is proof that none unicorns can become alicorns
Me: pretty sure Kadends was a pegisis


Yeah, no. Celestia and Luna were born as alicorns according to Lauren Faust and The Journal of The Two Sisters. The Season 6 premiere doesn’t contradict this because they predate Equestria’s founding. Alicorns also do not have three separate kinds of magic; it’s a singular whole with elements of all three tribes rolled into one.


1 question. If a pegasus can become an Alicorn and a Unicorn can become an alicorn, can an earth pony become an Alicorn?


Cadence got wings Shining Armor got a horn so flurry heart is a alicorn

Makes sense people?


I finally understand how Sunny Starscout became an Alicorn!!


Yeah but my question being is though the other princesses got drained of magic why didn’t they return to their original selfs and why didn’t Celestias mane go back to its normal pink color? There’s still so many questions to be answered. And why didn’t flurry heart look like all the other fillies when she was born also why was her wings so huge as well sorry it just caught me off guard when I say the episode.


You know I think the princesses are real alicorns but cozy glow wasn't because the princesses lost their magic but stayed alicorns because they completed or did something to earn it while cozy glow did not


I think that alicorns became another kind of pony
imagine a couple of ponies, the father is a pegasus and  the mother a alicorn, if they had a child the baby can be one of the types, just like other couples, and i think this is what happened to flurry heart
Maybe what defines the kind of pony someone is isn't the genes, but the kind of magic it receives


I believe that Celestia and Luna were iust born as alicorns. It says in the journal of the two sisters that they were asked to be Princesses - not because they could raise the sun and moon - but because they were alicorns and therefore could equally represent all three pony tribes. They got their cutie marks AFTER they were crowned princesses since alicorns age slower. Celestia also mentioned other alicorns that they grew up with which makes me believe that's simply how they were born. Season 6 does directly contradict this when they say an alicorn being born is 'beyond their understanding' but i think that's just a matter of them not even bothering to read their own lore. I believe what the journal says more since it came first and is canon to the show as Twilight reads out lines in an episode that are actually in the book

@Polish Alastor that's just a theory - it's proven to be untrue in the journal of the two sisters because they are already alicorns when they take control of the sun and moon

Celestia and Luna was unicorn they became Alicorns after controll sun and Moon


Anypony can become an alicon
If you has magic from all three pony tribes
Change my mind


Cadance was'nt an Unicorn too.<br>It's a Canon fact that she was a Pegasus.

Cadance was'nt an Unicorn too.
It's a Canon fact that she was a Pegasus.


Okok this might sound weird but I love how people still post and make theories of my little pony even though it ended like 1 year and what two months ago?


“Why are alicorns so important to them?” .... they’re literally a deity-less theocracy!!

Lmao yes! Celestia is a tyrant using her deification to ensure her rule


Alicorn: Wait I can explain.
Unicorn: You can fly? I can only make a spell.
Pegasus: I just can fly.
Earth pony: You guys having a special ability?


There is a good reason why Celestia and luna are alicorns because they need the three tribes to raise the sun and moon

"There's nothing special about being an alicorn."

"There's nothing special about being an alicorn."

When tiric invades pony kind I just realized when the two alicorn sisters give their magic to Twilight they don't transform back to their original state


Wait, how come clover the clever never became an alicorn? She was surrounded by earth pony & pegasus magic during the friendship fire


Are we gonna pretend that Big Mac didn’t become an alicorn? 😂😂


Okay I have another thing I think is related to this video, I only think Alicorns that didn't earn there wings while in the show are treated better but Twilight isn't treated like a princess shes treated like any other pony so this comment kind of sums it up for alicorns aren't special


omg
I already know this is gonna be good
Finnaly the end of the alicorn saga

*omg*
I already know this is gonna be good
*Finnaly the end of the alicorn saga*


The reason why twilight became an Alicorn, is because of celestia made her an Alicorn. She turned her.


Hey sawtooth waves i know this video is a bit old but i like the fact that u tell us thr story of luna and celestria of how they became alicorns it really interest me btw i love your videos and would like to see you reaction on the new my little pony movie a new genaration.


Great theory about how Luna and Celestia got there wings and became alicorns BUT I have watched a season about their OLDER SISTER wich they have that no one knew about!!!Yes, they had a OLDER sister and in that hole story it's put clear that they didn't get their alicorn forms from the ather ponys. They got it from Stars ward the bearded. Watch the season pl,you'll find all the information there(Princess Trikcy Sparcall)there is 12/13 episodes


No! Have you not read the book of the 2 sisters? They were already alicorn before they raised the sun and moon


There's a canon book that explains that cadence was a Pegasus that was born in the Crystal Empire 1000 years ago, then her dad used magic to make a time buble for 980 years, cadence was still a little baby, grew up with a hiking couple who took her in, and cadence fought a mare with a magical amulet so celestia turned cadence into a alicorn

@Cat Lover6780 true, that's why I was confused

@Renamon 565 ah yeah, I have that, been a while since I've read it. Thanks for letting me know!^-^

@eddog6666 after season 3 but before season 4 i think

I believe it is called Twilight and the Crystal Heart Spell.

It’s a kids book. And twilight is freaking out about be a princess. It’s set sometime in season 4

@Scarlett Johnson the book is called twilight sparkle and the crystal heart spell which is the first one of a series of books. That take place after season 3 finale

@Scarlett Johnson Twilight and crystal heart spell I think. But I don't remember it ever being stated at cannon by anyone


Like the theory, but it is disproven in the journal of two sisters when Celestia and lune gain there cutiemarks after becoming alicorns. Also saying he was the one searching them up but they were already alicorns?


i wonder if you can make an earthpony into a unicorn by blasting him with unicorn magic


Try to make it up there with Sonny since she's the only Alicorn in the universe now that we know of


What if pegasi and unicorns..already have 2 of the tribes magic?
If unicorns only had unicorn magic..how are they using such strong magic?
If pegasi only had pegasi magic..how do they lift them selves off the ground..literally? What if alicorns only needed 1 tribes magic to become an alicorn


SPOILERS FOR THE G5 MOVIE

The new G5 movie definitely supports this theory. When the crystals from all 3 tribes came together, and restoring magic to Equestria, she became an Alicorn, through the magic and crystals from all 3 tribes.

*SPOILERS FOR THE G5 MOVIE*

The new G5 movie definitely supports this theory. When the crystals from all 3 tribes came together, and restoring magic to Equestria, she became an Alicorn, through the magic and crystals from all 3 tribes.


my theory for Flurry Heart:<br>Shining Armour is a unicorn and Cadence was originally a pegasus so maybe FH absorbed Shinings unicorn magic and Cadences pegasus wings

my theory for Flurry Heart:
Shining Armour is a unicorn and Cadence was originally a pegasus so maybe FH absorbed Shinings unicorn magic and Cadences pegasus wings


sawtooth, what about crystal ponys? They are a not earthponys and you need magic from ALL tribes


It's maybe too late but if your theory is correct the I think there is a possibility that Fluttershy will be come an alicon in the far future because of Discord. The premises will be that ponies has a relatively short life time and Discord seeing Fluttershy slowly aging he will make her an alicon to prevent her aging and so that she will live longer.


I'm just putting this out here. I’m sure there’s already comments like this, but I need to put my thoughts down somewhere XD

Judging by Candence's appearance, she would be the same age as Shining Armour when she got her wings (regardless at what age). I think it’s pretty safe to say that Cadence's Alicorn form was taken way after Luna's and Celestia's transformation and certainly way after the "Hearth's Warming Eve story". And before King Sombra’s conquering The Crystal Empire, also known as the Crystal Kingdom, it was ruled by princess called Amore.

And because the Kingdom was taken over by King Sombra AFTER Tireks arrival, Tirek should’ve known there were 3 princesses already as he was shocked to know that there was a fourth princess in the episode “Twilights Kingdom”.

So. Enter Cadence. Spreading love wherever they go (as her special ability and representing family/love) a talent that’s she’s born with. And like love and relationships, it makes two to make a relationship work. She’s giving magic to other ponies according to the episode “A Canterlot Wedding” because she’s giving magic away to different types of ponies. Would it be fair to say, that the ponies of different tribes will be filled with love and compassion and like the Crystal Empire, the ponies will be overwhelmed with this new feeling and expressed and shared in a big powerful way. Spreading light all over the kingdom, and Cadence receives her Alicorn form.

But what if she’s the type to absorb love magic as well?

Because she takes pleasure in seeing people coming together and maybe some of that love magic is reflected back at her.

But humour me for a bit.

When the real Cadence was in the crystal prison under the castle, why is she not in the green slime cocoon?

Could it be she was able to break free? And if so, doesn’t that prove that her strength comes from love anyways?

But if she wasn’t in the green slime cocoon, don’t you think Chrysalis would’ve killed her instead and leave her to rot in the prison? If that’s the case that would be a near death experience, with no food or water. Doesn’t this raise a question to think that she gains strength from love to survive?

Which then leads me to think that Cadence works on a give and take scenario. A bit like Chrysalis. She absorbs love and uses it as strength.

So, wouldn’t that also count if we think of it that way?

And if she can really absorb love, can it also spark from stories and legends where love and friendships were real?

Probably.

Love and family can take shape in all sorts of forms. And going back on the history of love and friendships, like:
- The "Hearth Warming Eve" story where it was the first contact of real friendship (and not just a business arrangement)
- The first Royals of Equesteria; Luna and Celestia, which overlooks the differences of the tribes and them uniting Equestria as one
- The Pillars of Light forming together (A group that would unite the world and protect Equestria from harm and danger. Sharing the light and the ideal of their virtues (basically))
- Scorpan befriending Starswirl the Bearded (the first mixed species friendship)

All these stories where friendship and love were real, then maybe Candence thought:

“Oh wow. I wish I could spread love like that on an instant. A bit like a love potion. I wonder if I could do that.”

Because in this MLP universe, Love Potion/Poison (it’s up to you) does exist according to episode “Heart and Hooves Day”.

So, Cadence from a young age from reading fairy tales, legends, history and stories pursued her to create the magic of love. And she tests it out on different creatures and ponies, and to her surprise it was a success. And because there wasn’t a pony who could spread love like her, she is crowned Princess from young age (like Twilight).

Before Cadence’s abilities, we have only seen mixed relationships as a platonic relationship, not as a romantic relationship.

Perhaps her spreading love made the ponies see that romantic love and creating families goes beyond the three tribes and allowing ponies to have mix relationships.

Idk, just my thoughts.

@KenmaKinnie omg, I did not know that, I want to read it sooo badddd

Cupid Animations There's a book out that explains Cadence's backstory! It's called Twilight and the Crystal Heart I think? It states that she was born a pegasus and earned her horn by showing this wicked sorceress what love was.

@Michelle Joachim omg, thats amazing

😂
I mean the MLP universe is so abstract, and so is love. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Cadence's abilities and how she got her Alicorn form would be through abstracted ways like I described. I hope Sawtooth makes a theory video about Cadence soon

I just read all that...

AND I WOULD READ IT AGAIN BOP BOP BOP


Your officially my favorite YouTuber and that’s a fact


i wondered if an earth pony could be an alicorn


Pretty sure flurry was supposed to be born a unicorn but I guess because of shining armor and candace' love, she was born an alicorn


“There’s nothing special about being a Alcorn” oh I’ve already saw twilight become a alrcorn!


"Nothing special about Alicorns", well yeah, but I thought the fact that they get their butts handed to them was a sign of that.

That being said, you should look into an official book called "The Journal of the Two Sisters", as it also tells of the story of how Starswirl and the 6 unicorns raised the sun and the moon, and in it they were already Alicorns when they took over the role. In fact, they took over the role BECAUSE they were alicorns, because the book states that alicorns replenish their magic on every sunrise. So if you are the one raising the sun, you have unlimited magic.

I'm also fairly certain that at one point the creator of the show stated that Celestia and Luna were born as alicorns


If a unicorn has enough magic could they turn themselves and others Alcorns


I agree, because this is probably the most obvious way to go.


But what about the pony that created dark magic, because you said yourself, you need to create new magic. Would that be sombra? Or someone else?


ive been watching this dude for quite a bit now and im not even in the mlp fandom anymore these vids r interesting lol


My theory is that alicorns are the evolutionary predecessors to the ponies from FiM, and as such the ponies contain some of their DNA, which, when activated, turns them into an alicorn. Also, I theorize that Celestia and Luna were born alicorns by alicorn parents before Equestria was officially founded by the three tribes, and simply slid into power after the windigo incident because the three tribes thought that they were most qualified to lead due to them possessing attributes from all three races.


I know how cadence got to be a alicorn , just type cadence's backstory in youtube and you see a song


Because magic faded away does this mean their will be no allicorns in G5? Because magic from the three tribes is needed???


I mean, I never heard of another alicorn having a baby, so maybe it's normal that flurry heart was born an alicorn, with an alicorn mother of course


Everyone else: *Train hard day and night  trying to be the best one to be an alicorn*
Flurry Heart: Haha horn and wings go brrrrrr

Everyone else: **Train hard day and night  trying to be the best one to be an alicorn**
Flurry Heart: Haha horn and wings go brrrrrr


All the alicorns will eventually become royalty if it’s there destiny in my opinion


whoa, I havent thought it would be that easy


Actually celestia and luna were born alicorns because they're mother was a queen.


Time to Destroy this theory if The birth of an alicorn is something celestia and luna has never seen... THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS THEORY? IF ITS RARE FOR A NATURALLY BORN ALICORN THEN HOW WOULD THE OTHER OFF SPRINGS OF ALICORNS NOT BE ALICORNS?? just broke a theory feeling good.


Title : Finally Solving Alicorns <br>Me : Don’t do that, don’t give me hope

Title : Finally Solving Alicorns
Me : Don’t do that, don’t give me hope

@Shæms I made the comment before I finished the video. I just came up with the comment and posted it

Shæms I think his theory is right on the  money...


what if when cadence gave her love magic to others the other gave her their magic


So... if being an alicorn is having magic from all 3 tribes what if you only have magic from 2 what happens then?


I think sunny starscout makes this more yes because she got magic from all 3 tribles then became a transluscent alicorn the evil poney makes it a bit weird though


Pinkie pie got the magic from the bell, but she still looked like an earth pony.


I love when you are a Alicorn

Thank you for the likes sorry that I spelt it wrong I am going to Edit it

frog wrong mistake I was taking about the I am biggest fan one I am such a dumb dumb head 😂😂😂😂😂

Renee Leger they replied to me with a bunch of emojis so i said thanks lol

@Zero iemdbgsfon🦄🏳🌈🦋😑🦋🦄🐖🐷🐄🦏🦍🐃🐎🐆🐴🦄🦍🐒🤩🐷🐕🐪🐰🐇🦋🐋🐬🐟🦉🦚🦜

@LegoDev well it was when someone said in the comments flurry heart is an acorn in the video call the truth about flurry heart brony showed it when he was telling that how many comments told him that flurry heart is also an alicorn and he forgot her

Princess Sawtooth Wave of Pony Remixes. If only Changelings could do that...

@Leilani789 AJ Hey at least it ain't "Acorn"


Flurry heart is an Alicorn For both reasons-(I am assuming)
Like he said, you need to have magic of all three ponies. Earth, pagesus, unicorn.
And 2, well...think of it like this just for a moment. Diamond Heart Herself is one. And she's part of the alicorn family. Almost like this Royalty for a clear picture. Now, since Flurry heart is The daughter of Diamond Heart. Because Her mother is an alicorn, just like how a mother can be a queen, the daughter inherits all of her mothers...Abilities? Quirks?..I can't remember the right word. But She has that AUTHORITY. You can't be a princess if your not born into Royalty. And like Flurry heart, she must of gained it because of her mother's authority in it.
But then again! The idea of having all 3 in oder to be an alicorn is pretty cool and original to me :3


But Celestia and Luna were born alicorns. Just read "the journal of the two sisters" more than enough proof. And the book is canon.


They where born as alicorns but idk about the rest of them but thank you love your videos


Well basically alicorns are born when the hasbro execs decides to sell a new princess toy line.


What about the other allicorn cozy glows friend how did she absorb the magic of all three tribes. Now that is a lingering question.


Okay, but what about Sombra?  You had a theory that said that Sombra had the alicorn magic sucked out of him and went in the Alicorn Amulet.  One problem.  Even if his unicorn magic didn't go with it, Trixie is an unicorn.  She wouldn't have needed it.  The Earth Pony and Pegasus magic alone would've made her an Alicorn, would it have not?  And even if she could've hidden it, I don't think she would've.  I think she'd have shown it off to Twilight. Maybe I missed something though.


Celestia and lunas transformation from unicorns to Alicorns would be a good movie


It’s not the power you have it’s what you do with it

Me 2021

Cozy is not special because she didn’t use her magic for good


Fact the two sister's creator said that the two sisters where born alicorns and their parents were both born alicorns meaning that Alicorns were their own separate family tribe so cure on that.

Maybe Celestia and Luna, both being female and sisters, were the last of their kind so there were no natural born alicorns left in Equestria? So Celestia is the one who intervenes, giving magic to ponies she sees as worthy to raise the next generation of Alicorns.


🤷🏿♀ but that doesn't explain the time twirler set Twilight used can you control a time when the Alicorn sisters gave up there Magic when she was taking over for the two sisters on their vacation


Alacorns are not just a pony or horse with wings and a horn, They are far more greater and powerful thang any other pony/horses. You may turn into a alacorn with magic, But don't mean your a true alacorn. (I'm 13 years old.)


wait so scootaloo just needs unicorn magic to become an alicorn? she already has earth pony and pegasus magic because of her parents


Uhhhhh I think that cozy glow becoming an alicorn is just her getting extra power. It’s still special being an alicorn because all the princesses became an alicorn because they got it from performing a special and great act. But cozy became an alicorn on pure evil and just powerful magic. But tbh I think her becoming an alicorn is just mlp coming up with a way to make her look more infused with power from grogars bell


I always thought that with enough magic power you can be a alicorn.... I wished we got a episode that showed luna and celestia become alicorns...or a episode when they were kids


I think starlight should become an alicorn cause, She literally  had magic  coming from inside her in season 9 when she get captured  by  the villains she did all her magic to free all of them and just like twlight the magic came from inside of of her but, I still think she should of came an alicorn, also I think  since flurry heart was born an alicorn  shes more powerful  then all of them,


Lol the story you told about the royal sisters is not meant for them,  I think cadence received her wings like that by crystallines


1. Luna and Celestia were born before Equestria was created and that's why they were so surprised <br>2. Lauren Faust created the two sisters as born alicorns, plus in comics they are also.

1. Luna and Celestia were born before Equestria was created and that's why they were so surprised
2. Lauren Faust created the two sisters as born alicorns, plus in comics they are also.

Plus the proof is that they are living longer than anyone, Twilight and Cadence are not. They're aging the same, their life-span stays the same


What I think it happen is somehow that there are secret elements or cutie mark power?


maybe only unicorn can turn into alicorn since they have the magic power and they can use it..like Cozy Glow..she received the power that's why she can turned into an alicorn.. let's take a look at the "ALICORN".. it's like a "ALL-IN-UNICORN" all the power from the pegasi and earth ponies got combined in the unicorn itself and they turned into an Alicorn

p/s : the thing about Cadence was a pegasi isn't canon


"Cozy glow ruined the facts about alicons"

Everyone else:cursed you cozy glow


What if all Alicorns age on how much ponys that gave them the magic from the three tribs


Alicorns are special I know you can make yourself be an alicorn but they are chosen to one remember when cozy glow became an alicorn but Celestia is chosen to be an alicorn because she made Equestria change but cozy glow didn't make pony happy and not suffer she made them suffer so that's why alicorns are so special they bring light and harmony.


what about sunny being an alicorn do you have an idea for it?

i would love to see it🥺🥺🥺

welll i mean she became an alicorn when she reunited the 3 tribes-


Wait is it possible for a earth pony to Achieve becoming a Ailcorn?


0:36 We already knew that. Cadence was a pegasus.


maybe only unicorns and pegasus can become alicorns, in season 9 when they defeat Tirek Crysalis and Cozy Glow, Pinki Pie takes the bell and gets just big not an alicorn,but why?


By that logic, Discord is an ultra-alicorn, making him way cooler than I thought.


Omg this has so much sense that it almost feel canon


But Celestial and Luna’s parents are imaged as Alicorns.


Celestia and Luna were both born as alicorns, as their parents were both alicorns as well.


I don't think Luster Dawn should become an alicorn because she already has many princesses in Equestry


Last time I was this early this guy still believed Celestia and Luna were born Alicorns.


Ojalá hubieran un vídeo en español de esto JAJA Amo este canal


Maybe the reason why flurryheart became an alicorn is because she wasn't supposed to rule equastria but the crystal empire so that cadance can retire?


Him: Cozy Glow could be sus.
Cozy: Are you saying that I'm STUPID?!
Him: Ponies want to know the truth about you.
Me: Why did Cozy Glow become a villain?


I want you to make a video about cadence being an alicorn because she was a alicorn when she was young in the episode the royal wedding the flashback shows that cadence was a alicorn then. I was a little confused about her being an alicorn at a young age


Who thinks Cozy Glow is underrated aswell?

69th like yay, but I love Cozy’s character, the cute little one who seems innocent but is actually not


Him after remembering the journal of the two sisters: CURSE YOU DIARY THE BOOK!!!


No, it isn’t, because if it was, Mrs and Mr Cake’s two foals(whose names I forget- poundcake and sugar something maybe)  would have been alicorns. The two foal’s parents were earth ponies, and they certainly had enough genes and magic to be born a unicorn and a pegasus, so at least one would have been born a alicorn, as far as I know, which implies that there is some sort of alicorn magic needed. And Flurry Heart’s birth could’ve been something that the princesses didn’t understand how a alicorn could have had enough magic to give to Flurry heart, and they could have been talking about how maybe no alicorn had ever been born in Equestria since before it became Equestria. After all, in the heart’s warming eve story/play (the one with twilight and her friends in it), the ponies had raised a flag with luna and celestia on it!


You know that twilight had flowing hair in the last episode


I think that it is just the dark magic that the the the bell had turned dark is just like if any of you have seen the dragon prince it corrupts the users soul and sometimes body I also think the alicorn ceremony is still special


Me, returning to this video after watching the G5 movie: yep


So cadence might be similar to Princess Celestia and Luna cause she spreads love around


At the end of the day, alicorns are just another race. 🤷♀


I want to know what confuses me Are you have to look at somebody or are you transforming to that person but sawtooth he doesn’t do that he just changes you should have a whole story about him


I can’t believe how smart he is...<br>Me: Watching the video just thinking ‘Why didn’t I think about that’ 😂

I can’t believe how smart he is...
Me: Watching the video just thinking ‘Why didn’t I think about that’ 😂


Here I am at 1 am watching MLP content without having seen the show


Well cosy glow was a Pegasus and her reserving magic would need her to have a horn


I wish  to say that Celestia was an earth pony before being an alicorn, so your exact story doesn't work, but something along that line. Also, you were wondering how cadence came into play? You mentioned it in your video, the crystal heart. Even though its' magic wasn't on display, the crystal ponies would often try to give their love/magic to it. But it couldn't reach it, so instead it went to the pony who's destiny was tied to it.

@Batsy it is canon that she was an earth pony. IDK how she ascended or raised the sun, but she was an earth pony.

But celestia is like super smart at magic so she must’ve been a unicorn also how Else did she get her cutie mark lol


I think it is easy but why they make it such a big deal is because they won't just give you their magic you either have to steal it or earn it


It's impossible for an Unicorn imagine and combine that earth pony, pegasus and unicorn make an alicorn it must be that there was a prince and princess in the canterlot before celestia and Luna. There must be a unicorn prince and pegasus princess with a earth pony baby. That's where he got an idea.


Well gaing magic from the 3 tribes could be the case as for all we know there could've been magic all 3 tribes in grogars bell


im glad flurry heart isnt with cozy glow at her age she seems to be in teen years while cozy glow looks the same but it just seems like she only grew taller


"cUrSe YoU FLuRry ThE AlIcoRn"

4 years later:

"cUrSe YoU CoZy THe AlIcoRn"

*"cUrSe YoU FLuRry ThE AlIcoRn"*

4 years later:

*"cUrSe YoU CoZy THe AlIcoRn"*


I honestly think flurry heart got a horn from shining armor and wings and earth pony magic from cadence it might not be true but I thought that


0:26 if you look very closely you will realise the shape of an head...or is it just me??


ALL HAIL SAWTOOTH THE ALICORN<br>RULER OF YOUTUBE

ALL HAIL SAWTOOTH THE ALICORN
RULER OF YOUTUBE


Cadence was our confirmation that nine unicorns can become alicorns she was a Pegasus before


Hasbro: I mean, we didn't plan this, but sure, this can be canon now.


Finally I met someone who knows a À la corn means


If this theory is true then why can’t other creatures be alicorns? For pony’s it would be easier cause you would already have on of the three types of magic but if you were to get your hand on something like a gem that had all three types of magic and you weren’t a pony could you still be a alicorn? I mean maybe if you were something so different from a pony then maybe not but like what about zebras, could zebras become alicorns, it could be genetic but if it’s only about having three types of magic almost anything could be a alicorn, right?


Twilight,Celestia and Luna were not alicorns when they were born, but I wonder how they become alicorns but Flurry was an alicorn when she was born


“The <b>people</b> of Equestria” really messed with my brain-

“The *people* of Equestria” really messed with my brain-


If alicorns represent all 3 tribes, can pegasi represent pegasi and earth pony and unicorns represent unicorns and earth pony?


in one of the videos, he said that Celestia and Luna are born alicorns so they have flowing hair, but how come in the last season of MLP Twilight Sparkle has flowing hair?  she was not from the alicorn Kingdom!  answer this question plz tysm!


Hey on the video when you spoke
On the theory of  the portal
I was wondering what would
Happen if Celestia, Luna & Cadence
Met their human counterparts
As will it affect the worlds or will they stay quite same ??????


Maybe, the whole thing is linked to who is given the Alicorn status

  I'd say, Cozy Glow technically Stolen the Status and doesn't deserve it

  Flurry Heart, her Mom is already given the Status so she has the magic needed to be an Alicorn from her mom

  Let's go check on her father, a Unicorn with magic that's pretty strong too (his sis is the princess of magic so why can't he be the Prince of magic)

 Shining Armor and Cadence had not only a lot of love, but...... Also

Unicorn Magic x2 + the other 2 tribes magic = Alicorn baby


It turns out that you can become an ALICORN in different ways😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Оля Воронина


i think becoming an alicorn could be about that, that pony can bare all the magic passed to her and about the ruler thing, it could be that you could can become an alicorn but only if you prove to be good enough for ruling for an example Equestria YOU CAN/WILL rule Equestria in the future but if you dont prove that you are worhty you will not have a chance in ruling Equestria


Wait then by this logic any earth pony can become either a unicorn or a pegasus if given enough magic


I though cadance was a pegasus before being an alicorn?


Could you make a theory where it fits in the journal the two sisters as well?


there is something about being an alicorn you have to earn it not i mean it is true about the magic thing but there's something else by earning it....


Cadence was actually born with only wings


Wait a minute.tirek! He absorbed magic from all three tribes but he didn’t turn into an alicorn


I have a theory how Cadence became an Alicorn based of Twilight Sparkle and The Crystal Heart Spell-<br> When Cadence helped Prismia she had the love from the necklace flowing through her, love from ALL THREE TRIBES, when she was teleported to the place where Celestia was. Now magic happened and BOOM Alicorn!

i just realized i havent seen that episode yet and i just got hardcore spoilered with no context


Just saying I think THINK Celestea and Luna’s mother was a alicorn but I’m not sure yet


me after watching mlp new generation movie and this film

oh  shieeeeeeeet it's all coming together (3 crystals, 3 types of magic, new alicorn)


Don’t let starlight see this video, or the rest of Equestria for that matter.


flurry heart is like an element like flurry heart  represent love magic in all of equestria


How do we know celestial and Luna we’re earned to be allicorns and not born them


I know im super late to comment something. But if the story for luna and celestia gotten their wings from the love of the crystal ponies, i dont thunk thats possible. I never seen a crystal pony being anything else other than an earth pony


But didn’t cozy just took the magic from Luna and celestia ?


“Cozy glow is proof that none unicorns can become alicorns”

Cadence has been forgotten

“Cozy glow is proof that none unicorns can become alicorns”

*Cadence has been forgotten*


Wow, my old favorite cartoon i guess had a lot of secret or something like that

Sorry my english is so bad


Seriously how cadence did become an alicorn because when it was shining armors wedding twighlight was like dreaming and telling shiningarmor how cadence was when she was little and cadence had wings and a horn how did that happen


But a question still remains, why did twilight have a shorter life then the Celestia and Luna? Cause in G5 she's most likely ded

Well, maybe she isnt...😳and shes just out there somewhere, skywalker style


Honestly at this point alicorns aren't special since it seemed like everyone is just turning into one it seems especially since it's clearly easy


Lol I can’t explain why but I was oddly satisfied when Cozy Glow lost her powers and returned to a Pegasus.


Maybe Flurry Heart was born and alicorn was because her dads/Shining Armour/ was a unicorn,and Cadence was a Pegasus so boom alicorn lol


Flurry is borned being an allicorn so I think that she got 50% of magic from her mother and her Aunty Twily and you said that how Celestia and Luna became allicorns maybe star swirl abearded made them allicorn but also why did star swirl didn't make himself an allicorn also the answer is yes

♡𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑙𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑦♡


i think its a mater of will power as well as your theory. because the will power for fury heart to be born was tremendous.


what I know is that celestia and Luna started out as peguses not unicorns


Technically everyone has earth  pony magic


Imagine all the alicorns watching this poor girls.


I think cadence was born a alicorn because in the episode a canterlot wedding I saw that when she was little she was a alicorn.


Can there be a video explaining why all alicorns are female ponies or mares instead of colts


Actually was a good thing that it was though that being an alicorn was only through a rite of passage because is everyone knew that the only thing needed is magic things could be kinda of chaotic in Equestria


Chrysalis is also a kind of an evil alicorn but shes a changling.... <b>gasp</b> what if changelings are ponies of an empire at peak of magic? then something went wrong? peak of magic leading to all of them being alicorns?

Chrysalis is also a kind of an evil alicorn but shes a changling.... *gasp* what if changelings are ponies of an empire at peak of magic? then something went wrong? peak of magic leading to all of them being alicorns?


Didn't Cozy Glow take discords magic before she became an alicorn


Wonder how many times the words "All three tribes" was said


To be fair she used to princesses power to be come a eloquent… you know what I mean.


Y’all are solving this like this is the last question in the math exam


If you read the tale of two sisters book they tell you how celesta and luna became alicorns just saying


im a unicorn......but i love solving alicorns!


When you don’t know what to say:
“wHY AReN’t tHeRE aNY bANaNas iN MY LitTLE pONy?” -Me 2020
No but seriously why aren’t there any bananas?

@Batsy You said apple loom instead of apple bloom. Now they have to create an apple loom character. :)

There was also that one episode with a banana split if I remembered correctly

@Natalie K<br>what? i remember they gone to the jungle.

@Natalie K
what? i remember they gone to the jungle.

there are lol flutter pinkie eats many banana sundaes

@James Poling Oh thats right "a royal problem" forgot about that one lol welp mystery solved bananas do exist in Equestria i guess lol

@Natalie K Luna peeled a banana and ate the peel in that starlight episode with the Daybreaker reveal. (I forget the name of the episode.)

@Batsy yes but have we ever actually SEEN a banana in an episode lol

Simply, because the monopol of Apples and pears.

There are <br>Remember when applejack says “if apple loom liked bananas more than apples you guys would tell me right?”

There are
Remember when applejack says “if apple loom liked bananas more than apples you guys would tell me right?”

They have to have peace with the monkey kingdom before they can open trade.

Maybe because no one ever goes into the jungle?


Sawtooth: ThErE iS nOtHiNg SpEcIaL aBoUt BeInG aN aLiCoRn BeCaUsE oF cOzYgLoW!<br>Me: well I think she was not a real alicron she basically made her a fake alicorn because she did not earn it or um idk how to make this make sense with flurry heart

he forgot that cadence was a Pegasus before she was a alicorn..


I do think your right but if so then why didn’t twilight lose her wings in the movie  when her magic was taken or Luna and Celesta when cozy took theirs?


People who have Alicorn Oc's: Yes it's all coming together 😈 hhehehhee

Nyehehehe yes now no one can say its “unrealistic” hehehe


What if it’s not just the three tribes that transform you into a alicorn but  new magic that you created or discovered like twilight did


From which thing you edit your videos I love your pony version


the way to get it through blood
or ailicorn
mastering immortality magic


More.

Why not have those magics be dormant in the ponies due to interbreeding.

When the Magic is Fully triggered..

That can be also a way for the combined magic be there.


Wasn’t Cadence an alicore when she was younger too <br>What did she do

Wasn’t Cadence an alicore when she was younger too
What did she do


I think the first ep said all the answers,it said"to do this,the eldest used her UNICORN magic"right?                                           Then that explains Celestia and Luna were like twilight!!!                                                                                And that makes me think that they were not born by queen Galaxia because galaxia was a alicorn by her mother and father.


Twilight was changed by celestia into an Alicorn tho.


sooooo....im kinda upset about the whole "alicorn nation" theory not being as concrete now BUT i have figured out a way to work around this, so that celestia and luna can be "natural" alicorns but alicorns like twilight, cadence, flurry and cozy glow are not, lets begin (also this is going to be VERY LONG)

so firstly i am going off of the theory that celestia and luna came from a nation outside of equestria where becoming an alicorn is a coming of age event (like earning a cutie mark), so the genetics in this nation would work like this

unicorn/earth-pony/pegasus is born from alicorn parents

unicorn/earth-pony/pegasus earns there cutiemark at a young age (between 8-13) and also around the same time earn their wings/horn/both in a kind of "alicorn puberty"

the grown ponies in this nation are now all naturally alicorns as it is just a part of their life and these ponies will have babies and the cycle continues, this is how celestia and luna came to be, they where born unicorns, earned their cutie marks + wings and grew up to be alicorns

another important thing i wanted to mention is that even tho in this nation all the adults are alicorns, there is no such thing as "alicorn dna" because becoming an alicorn is a coming of age event, not something that you are genetically born with, to put it into perspective, that would be like saying a pony with a cutiemark has "cutiemark dna", sounds weird right? yes to put it simply, alicorns in this nation have all three types of dna in their system, unicorn dna, pegasus dna and earth-pony dna

now lets talk about twilight and cadence, who are both royals (which will be an important part)

twilight became an alicorn through "ascension", basically celestia trained twilight for the day she would become a perfect candidate in taking her place as alicorn ruler, and with completing starswirls spell, it proved that she was ready, and celestial turned her into an alicorn...or so we thought

from this videos theory we can conclude that twilight became an alicorn because of the magical blast coming from her friends, which all happened to containe dna/magic from each race (unicorn pegasus and earth-pony) and with this magic twilight was able to become and alicorn, and this is similar in a way to cozy glow, who took the magic of all the pony races from the bewitching bell and became an alicorn herself

and now i can hear you guys thinking, "but if its that easy to become and alicorn, then why was twilights (and probably candences) ascension so regal?", well isnt it obvious? because they where not only becoming alicorns, but they where becoming royalty! when Celestia says to twilight "its time now for a new change to become" and "its time for you to fulfil your destiny" she wasnt talking about just being an alicorn, she was talking about her destiny to become the princess of friendship (and later the princess of equestria), even shortly after, rarity says that twilight has become an alicorn and that "she didnt know that was possible" at which point if it was celestias intention to make twilight an alicorn then she would have showed up at this point to confirm, which she didnt, but do you know when she showed up? after fluttershy said "you look just like a princess" THATS when celestia shows up and says "thats because she IS a princess", so yes, i do believe that making twilight a princess was celestias number 1 priority (and becoming an alicorn was the cherry on top). Something similar probably happened to cadence, she was giving tons of magic from each pony race (probably associated with love), she was giving the role of the princess of love from celestia, and later found herself ruling over the crystal empire

this all explains why cozy glow didnt get such a regal ascension, because she wasnt become royalty, she was just becoming an alicorn type pony from all the races magic, now lets talk about the final alicorn, flurry heart

flurry heart is unique because she was BORN an alicorn, not through coming of age, not through powerful dna altering magic, but through birth. Twilight and cadence are different from celestia and luna because through magic their dna was altered, remember that thing i said earlier about the alicorn nation ponies posesing dna types of each pony race inside of them and NOT having alicorn dna? well that is what makes twilight and cadence different, because they DO have alicorn dna, infact they where the first ponies ever to have alicorn dna, because like i stated alicorn dna does not exist naturally, expect for one pony, flurry heart. So yes, through gaining the magic of each races and transformong into an alicorn, cadence now possess "alicorn" dna, and has passed it on genetically to flurryheart, thats why she was born an alicorn, to put it into perspective, being born an alicorn is as if a pony was born with their cutiemark, it is unheard of as cutiemarks are earned through coming of age and life experiences, but like i said, twilight and cadence possess alicorn dna now because of their unnatural change, and flurry heart also possess alicorn dna too because she was naturally born with it

so, "natural alicorns" can now exist outside of equestria in an alicorn nation, while unnatural alicorns can be made using dna altering magic from each if the pony races or through birth if ones of the ponies is a dna altered alicorn, seems all well and good yeah? but your probably wondering how this all fits into the canon of the show, so here is my version of celestia and lunas history

But then again, that doesn't really add up. Getting a cutie mark is unknown. Some ponies don't get their cutie marks.You get a cutie mark when you find(discover) a "talent" you were destined with. It doesn't really have anything with DNA or alicorns.

@xChoco Caramelx I know ahahah this took me so long to write 💀💀💀

celestia and luna parents where the rulers of this alicorn nation, their parents where king and queen. celestia and luna where born in an alicorn nation from alicorn parents, and since their parents where the king and queen, that made them both princesses and they where both born unicorns, they grew up and each earned their cutiemarks as well as their wings. Growing up their parents where more or less their mentors, guiding them in life and seeing paths to what there future and destinies where to become, and as the two sisters got older, their parents noticed a far off growing land known as equestria, while equestria was starting to come together in harmony, their parents could see that the ponies if the land still where in need of great powerful rulers who could help guide the way and look after them for a long time, and they saw no better opportunity than their children, celestia and luna. The two sisters always followed their parents wishes as they knew that their parents always knee what was best for them, and so the young adult sisters travelled to equestria where they made a grand appearance. The ponies of equestria where shocked to see this new race of pony, a pony with horns AND wings was unheard of, and seeing the sisters grand appearance, great powers and over all symbolisation if the new land (all ponies races in harmony being represented by the sisters) they crowed them the princesses if equestria, but of course they where still new to ruling this land, so they needed a mentor that was familiar with it, introducing, starswirl the bearded, who taught celestia and luna while being in their early years on the thrown. As starswirl the the five other unicorns grew tired of raising the sun and moon, celestia and luna showed that they had the power to raise the sun and the moon each, and so from that day forth the princesses took over the duties if the day and night cycle. [from hear i will now skip over a lot of years and continue to make a fan story as to how cadence came to be, this is going off of the theory that the alicorn princess from the love potion story is somehow related to cadenece]. As time goes on celestia learns that there is a way to transform regular equestrian ponies into alicorns through the use of all the races magic, and while we are unsure as to how many times this was done, a time that nobody really seems to talk about is the alicorn princess from the love potion spells story, the story goes that an earth pony was in love with an alicorn princess, so he gave her a love potion hoping that she would fall in love with him, however the potion was so powerful thag they could not stop looking into each others eyes, and the princesses kingdom fell into ruins, but what if...that princess was Cadences mother? i know crazy right? "but i thought you said flurry was the first born alicorn, how could cadences mother be a dna altered alicorn and give birth to a pegasus only cadnece?" well, what if she gave birth to cadence BEFORE she was transformed? it is already confirmed that royals can exist in equestria without being an alicorn, (cough cough prince blueblood cough cough) sooo a pegasus princess was engaged with a prince and together they give birth to princess mi amore cadensa (or cadence for short), and then after the pegasus princess proved her greatness to rule, celestia with the magic of all the pony races turned her into an alicorn, but what they didnt know was that a loley earth pony had fallen in love with the new beautiful alicorn princess, so he decides to give her a love potion and it works well, too well that is. In a fit of mad love, she breaks up with her fiance and abandones her child to be with the earth pony to starw lonegly into his eyes, and the ponies of the kingdom are too late to do anything, with the kingdom being vulnerable, enemies swarm the place and their is mass genocide, and in an attempts to save as much people as she can, celestia swoops in and does all she can do, unfortunately, she could only save a handful of ponies, one of them being baby princess cadence, and from there celestia becomes cadences adoptive aunt and raises her in cantorlot, cadence also becomes an alicorn earlier in her teens and celestia thinks she is deserving of it seeing how she spreads love where ever she goes (and also feels bad for the tradgey she had to face so young), this story also explains how cadence came to babysit for twilight as twilight and her both had connections to celestia, and how cadnece fell in love with shining armour, as he was working at the castle as a royal gaurd trainee and is twilights older brother, later on in life shining armour and candence get married and take over as rulers for the crystal kingdom (a destiny that was reflected in cadences cutiemark) and as we all know, they both go on to have flurry heart, the first naturally born alicorn, which looking iver the dna altering magic theory, makes perfect sense, cadence has alicorn dna, and thus she passed that onto flurry heart, celestia has magic to transform ponies into alicorns but she probably didnt know that it altered the ponies dna, and thats why her and luna where both surprised to see flurry. and now finally onto twilight, i dont think i need to explain in great detail, celestia knew that she was gonna need somepony to fill her shoes, and when she saw twilight she knew that she wpuld be the one, years pass and twilight continues to learn, finally completing starswirls spell and the magic of her friends plus celestia turns her into a dna altered alicorn, later in life celestia and luna can finally retire and twilight takes over equestria, the only thing i can try to think if now is the whole "flowing hair thing" and honestly, it cpuld either be a mixture of how much power that pony holds, how much land they rule, how old they are, or it could even just be genetics who knows

so yeah! that was so long but hopefully it makes sense haha, now their can exist an alicorn nation along side the theory that alicorns are made from all types of pony race magic, best of both worlds BABY

(Also I had to reply to my own comment because YouTube wasn't letting me post this all in one because it was TOO LONG like damn)


You and me both I’ve been trying to figure out this mystery for years Ever since I saw this show back in 2011


I know why flurry heart was born a À la corn is because her mom cadence rip spread love to people and Larry Hart well might do the same thing when she’s grown up.


Think some of the magic just turned into wings


1:36 just unicorns? Not only are they super powerful but so are ALL unicorns.


Does that mean other animals can be Alicorn’s ?


another reason it's such a big deal is because magic from all 3 tribes? how does that even HAPPEN? obviously they would associate with ruling because, like with twilight, when you get that much magic it's very ceremonious


that means the crystal heart has alicorn magic :o


Flurry heart was the first to be born an alicorn because she was the first baby of alicorn


Cozy glow got his powers from grogars bell and her horn is glowing red and when trixie took alicorn amulet her magic was red too so maybe alicorn amulet took the power from grogars bell ?

Maybe grogars bell drained magic from someone who was wearing the alicorn amulet but ıt couldn 't drain all the magic

I thought it was red because her cutie mark is red like cadences is blue and her cutie mark is blue so is celestias yellow and her cutie mark is yellow


Finally Saw Tooth!!!! I've been waiting 4 soooooooooo long!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💖💖💖💖🦄🦄🦄🦄


Cadence has this love magic thing going on maybe she united earth, unicorn, and Pegasus ponies together with that or something. I’m not good at making clear my point so sorry if you don’t understand


Luna’s flowing hair isn’t real ‘cause in season 2 nightmare night her real hair was peaking through her flowing hair


Where have cozy Glow's parents been all this time?


Sorry I’m a year late, but notice how at 1:16, the spark was in the middle of good and evil


Grogars bell can restore Tempest's horn🦄


Non unicorns can become Alicorns. Um dude. Cadence was originally a Pegasus too ya know.


Actually celestia and Luna are from the alicorn tribe and they are queen galixias  daughters


Wasn’t princess cadins a Pegasus before she became an alicorn? Sorry I can’t spell her name.
