This is a good theory, although there are some things that others have pointed out which could/should be taken into consideration. I'm just adding some of my own thoughts and paraphrasing.
Here are my two cents:

Maybe there are still fake/artificial and true/natural alicorns, except rather than being set apart by things like flowy hair, being born as alicorns or height, they're set apart by whether or not they retain their alicorn form when their magic is taken away.

When you take away a princess's magic she'll stay an alicorn despite losing it, as shown in any episode where magic is drained from any of the princesses. This would make them a true/natural alicorn, because it's not only the magic that's keeping them one.

On the other hand, when Cozy Glow lost her magic, she went back to her original form. This would make her a fake/artificial alicorn because it's only the magic that's keeping her one, reminiscent of the spell that gave Rarity butterfly wings in that one episode.
It's kind of like it's an active spell that's keeping her an alicorn, while ones like Twilight could've had a spell turn them into an alicorn once, permanently.

This would mean that alicorns like Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight & Flurry are all still special/godly, while ones like Cozy Glow aren't (at least not to the same extent) because they're not actually alicorns, it's temporary.
— — — — — — — — — —
In summary:
• True/natural alicorns keep both their horn & wings even if their magic is gone because their magic isn't actively keeping them that way.
• Fake/artificial alicorns lose their horn/wings when they lose their magic because it's the only thing keeping them alicorns.

Hopefully this wasn't too repetitive or too long. 😅
If you notice anything that I may have looked over then feel free to point it out.

I think that maybe a good pony would have to do something worthy to earn those wings. Either that, or maybe you could just force it with magic. Flurry Heart might’ve just gotten her wings because of genetics. I don’t think it goes that deep idk 😐


Ok, so y'all know how Sawtooth said that maybe the ponies shared their love with Celestia and Luna, giving them the magic from the other tribes? Cadence spread love when she was just a pegasus, so maybe the ponies also gave love back to her, giving her the magic she needed to become an alicorn. .-. Just a thought, idk.


Thank you so much I’ve been very confused about this as well and I’m a HUGE My little pony fan and this is my very first time on your channel and I just subscribed so nice into finally meeting you and thank you 💗✨


You know, you might got to mash some mathematics if you're talking about MLP theories this complicated.


How Celestia and Luna became alicorns is explained in The Journal of the Two Sisters. It's a neat little read. ;)


I think the answer to that question would be quite simple being as cadence was a pegasus before she became an alicorn she just became an alicorn because she stopped a sorceress that was stealing the love from her village and when she did that it ended like the crystaling basically in which case she ascended to alicorn


That or they (the royal sisters) want to avoid ponies purposely seeking out the magic from other tribes in order to become alicorns. If they are the ones with control over who becomes (or knows about how to become) an alicorn then they have the power to make as much or as little a deal out of it.

also, as far as we know, Cadence is the only alicorn to give birth so of course Flurryheart would still come as a surprise.


I think that the two sisters were born as alicorns , and not knowing how exactly others changed other then gaining magic from the other tribes of magic , must had thought it was the only way till flurry heart came along , and I believe it's not just the magic , but also the the amount of all absorbed magic, a perfect balance = a perfectly balanced alicorn , but the sisters also wanted to only give this ability to those they believed to be worthy , meaning others finding out they could change into one of them , even say , an evil pony , then it would cause rather a panic and fear , or a rebellion against the sisters , for creping this a secret , or for not allowing them to expireance this power


My biggest question still is pondered... Why and How did Celestia's mane and tail change from pink to a mix of pastel colors?


Also, I just thought of something else: what about Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake?

Mr. and Mrs. Cake are earth ponies and therefore obviously have earth pony magic, but Pound and Pumpkin are a pegasus with pegasus magic and a unicorn with unicorn magic respectively, and since it must have come from SOMEWHERE, it must mean one or both of their parents had to have had more than one type of magic in them.

It appears all the ingredients are there, so why aren't any of them alicorns, if alicornship can simply be a genetic thing as you suggest is the case with Flurry Heart?

What do you all think?


My theory is that Twilight didn't become a true alicorn when she got her wings. Only when you transform into a full 'princess' (tall stature, wavy magical hair) are you an actual alicorn, fully infused with all 3 magics. Cozy glow acquired a horn, but wasn't an alicorn. Also, neither Cadence nor Flurry Heart can be proven to be true alicorns, since we see no indication of earth pony magic.


I want to say something like, 'you ruined alicorns forever for me,' but all I can think about his the amount of possible OC's now that we now its not about how much magic but what kind of magic.  Like what if an earth pony managed to become an alicorn, how would it be like to struggle with both a new horn and wings?


well heres the thing something that all the pony's that became an alicorn shared (not counting flurry because she didn't become an alicorn she was born one) They all had a strong purpose just hold on, Cozy wanted to rule, Celestia raised the sun and wanted above all to take care of her people , Luna raised the moon and wanted to help her people in their dreams, Twilight solved a lot of problems with her friends and she wanted to learn about magic and ways she could help others using that magic, Cadence spreader love throughout the crystal empire and wanted to protect and care for those the loved. But thats just my theory there are probably a lot of things wrong with it so you may current me in the comments.


I think that Cozy Glow became an alicorn because the bell had the real Grogar's magic which she absorbed and grogar was extremely powerful so even the pony who defeated Grogar just stole his ultra powerful bell and didn't fight him face to face. So it means that Alicorns are special


Actually... I feel like Cozy "became an alicorn" because the power that she stole was from Grogar which was already a ruler (not the nicest ruler, but did ruled at some point) and as for flurry heart maybe it had something to do with the crystal heart? being born in the crystal empire, with people handing magic to "said crystal heart" and maybe giving some to her in the process? Because she is the future ruler of the crystal empire and all...


But if being an alicorn is just having magic from all three tribes, then why did Cozy revert back to a Pegasus after that magic was stripped from her, when all the other alicorns still remained alicorns after their magic was taken from them? How come not everyone lost their alicorn status after losing the combined magic from all three tribes, if gaining that magic is how everyone became alicorns in the first place?


I have two things to say
1. I HEARD MY NAME AS AN ALICORN YET I DONT HAVE PATREON LOL
2. Even if cozy glow/crazy glue (if you get the reference, you get a reference discount) is friends with flurry.. (after being reformed)

She’d be like older

Older than flurry would want; if they actually meet.
Using American elementary school systems and stuff, kids don’t really like older kids to be friends with, 4 year age difference noted. For example, by the time flurry would be in 3rd grade, (humanised, of course) which is about  8, cozy would be 12+, meaning, humanised, cozy would be a teenager, hanging out with her teenager friends, blah, blah, shopping, all that good stuff, while flurry would be playing with dolls, watching cartoons, stuff 8 year olds would do. (When I was 8, I did that; that doesn’t mean everyone else did, same thing with cozy) therefore, they’d be interested in totally different things. (Most likely, of course)
But that’s just a theory.
A pony theory.


We need an episode explaining about the origins of the royal sisters and princess Cadance.


I think it’s really all of the magic that’s turning them super powerful and giving them the power to become Alicorns so they can get magic from all three tribes so yeah you’re kind of right but that could mean that and I don’t need the Crystal Empire could do that but also the ponies from Ponyville and all over the world of a Questria


it's so incredible that twilight sparkle became an alicorn.


I’m sort of late to this video, but it seems like Alicorns are immortal while the rest of the pony population isn’t, so there’s something special about being an Alicorn. Also, Flurry Heart was born an Alicorn with unusually strong magic for a baby, so maybe that will be explained later. And if Alicorns really do have all 3 tribes magic, it would make sense that they would be made immortal. It was the magic of all 3 tribes that warded off the evil Wendigos from Equestria and united the ponies.


1:13 I think it's like absorbing a soul in the undertale universe.
Every monster can do it. But not many know how to do it or that its probably easy. The knowledge that its easy to do is kept serect and they just lie about it only happening to the worthy.  To make sure the wrong monster (or pony in this case) doesn't end up with that much power when their not ready. Like in unddrtale the transformation is known by all just not that is possible for any monster to do it and that its easy if you form a bond with a human. I'm assuming the difficulty by the fact that asriel assuming he was 8 when he first absorbed his first soul could figure it out a full grown monster can too. But the higher ups keep that part of the legend hidden away. And its simple dumb luck or ponys not wanting/or caring about that power that keeps everyone from becoming a alicorn. Starlight may have had the magic but though she was good in that department. And starswirl respected the royal sisters story.


If this is true, then Celestial and Luna were destined to raise the sun and moon before they became alicorns, because of their cutie marks.  Twilight's cutie mark was on the tree of harmony, which represents friendship, so she was destined to be the princess of friendship before she was an alicorn.

This could mean that there is some strange destiny voodoo going on, or that I am looking too deeply into it, either way I figured I should point it out.


I have a theory for you to think about.  All Foals are universal only after birth do they manifest the Tribe's magic.  This would explain how a Pegasis foul wouldn't break its wings on birth, same with a Unicorn's horn causing damage on birth.  A foal's magic manifests after birth.  On top of that, the magic is absorbed in the womb.  This explains why Flurry Heart is an Alicorn she got equal magic from all three tribes from her mother.  We seen pony being able to morph in the show Fluttershy became Flutterbat due to messed up magic.  Luna morphed into Nightmare Moon.  Being able to morph via magic is part of being a pony.  Now the Cake Twins is where things get complicated.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Cake's are Earth Pony, and the twins are Pegasus and Unicorn.  The answer is Twilight and Rainbow Dash.  Mrs. Cake and Mr. Cake don't use their Earth Pony abilities often if not at all but Rainbow Dash and Twilight are often visiting the Sugar Cube Corner.  Rainbow is often flying at high speeds even doing sonic rainbooms.  Twilight even before she was an alicorn was using high powered magic.  So at that key time in development Pound Cake absorbed Rainbow Dash's Pegasus magic when she was doing her stunt flying, and Pumpkin got some of Twilight's magic.  Both seem to be very strong as well where Pound could fly right away at high speeds, and Pumpkin can self levitate (something only seen with Starlight glimmer and a few others).  This absorption of magic continues in early foal hood and they expel the excess magic during the "Surge".  The Surge effect is their bodies stabilizing and no longer drawing in magic.  Of course, this is just a Theory... a PONY Theory!  Thanks for reading.  Edit to add Scootaloo was exposed to Pegasus magic but not enough her problem with flying isn't that she can't it that she doesn't have enough magical power to make her body light enough to fly.  She can produce thrust (as seen with her scooter) but not enough lift due to her body mass not being reduced.


nope, nope, nope. I'm sorry but I have to disagree because before then, the 6 would have been honored as the rightful rulers of equestria with their efforts to move the day-night cycle. I like your theory about each alicorn representing a form of love better.


Celestia: Sun
Luna: Moon
Cadence: Love
Twilight: Friendship

Flurry: Light
CozyGlow: Dark


You know... it is a bit off topic, but not really.

I think I've never seen anyone think about it like that, or at least publicly (I might very well be mistaken here), but for me, the (in)famous, "The birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen", and "This is even boyond our understanding" quotes seemed to have referred more to... well, the fact that it shouldn't be possible in that case. For me, the first is figurative, like, none of the population for many, many generations could have been a witness of something like that. It never meant to me that Equestria as a united Kingdom has literally never seen a birth of an alicorn.

But even if it does indeed mean that, then for me... it always alluded to something else... like... for example, that it shouldn't be possible for an alicorn to be born naturally *anymore*, maybe due to some ancient ward, or anything really, connected to the aspects of the subspecies' history we do not know. Anyway, the way I always interpreted it was that this was the reason why the birth of Flurry Heart was beyond Celestia and Luna's understanding; not because the birth itself, as a birth, shouldn't be possible, but that it shouldn't be possible the way it happened (due to time, location, circumstances...) because of something they know about, but we don't. That's the way I always saw it...

I don't know.


Star swirl and Starlight are not alicorns because they do not stand for something like love, friendship, sisterhood. They stand for magic. It was a mix of discord’s and Grogan’s magic that caused the mean 3 to get their powers, so when that magic was removed, they became their pathetic selves.


Is Cozy an alicorn? Or is the horn a manifestation of the stolen magic from the  bell, and she lacks earth pony magic or true alicorn magic?


I think it is when you are a ruler. All alicorns are a queen of something. Even Cozy Glow were at the moment she were an alihorn


One major problem, but what about pinki pie when she accidentally observed the power that turned cozy glow into an Alicorn  sure pinki is a earth ponie<br>But you clarified that with all three different type magic itwould  have turned her still in to an alicorn especially when she also got celestia and luna and discord magic

There is actually a 6th alicorn (an easter egg or something like that) on season 8 episode 5, where rainbow dash wants to go for the roller coaster, when the hot air balloon was landing, there was a male alicorn waving sticks for the hot air balloon


Hey Sawtooth, you forgot Cadence. I think that she will be VERY mad at you


I don't think that it's that simple if it were then the cake's babies would have been born as Alicorn s, remember what Mr. and Mrs. Cake said?  They said that they had relatives who were a pegisus and a unicorn while Mr and Mrs cake themselves are just regular earth ponies.

If all you need is tribes magic then the cake siblings would have been born as an Alicorn, not to mention that Luna and Celestia both stated way before  flurry came into the picture  that one can not simply become an Alicorn as it is something that you have to earn.

Luna and Celestia earned their wings while cadence earned her horn and we see that twilight earns her wings as well, obviously a great amount of time,  effort , and momuntuos events have to take place naturally in order to act as the conduit to becoming an Alicorn.

Plus if tribe magic was all that was needed then either stigion or star swirl himself would have became an Alicorn through the elements of harmony as well and it is clearly not the case, as none of the pillars of harmony became an Alicorn , even so Gusty and Clover who were both historical ponies and were well documented didn't become an Alicorn either, I mentioning them because they were BEFORE Luna and Celestia  and would have most likely came across the tree of harmony along with the elements or perhaps even the pillars or something like that and they both achieved a single great thing but that is why I think it takes more than one great accomplishment .

If it was oy one great accomplishment then twilight would have become an Alicorn after beating night mare moon , but if you look at it she had to go through a lot of hard  training and had to overcome even harder tasks.

Let's not forget that flurry was originally created soley to help sell toys so she doesn't really have much of role other than to get kids to force their parents to fork over money for the show's product which can then be later used to either help pay for the show in order to keep it going or to pay the employees.


I think the unicorns were tired of moving day and night so all ponies gave their powers to celestia and Luna but the sisters didn't know and thought it was a magical moments for them


Wowwww I have been in your channel since it was named “Brony Notion” and this mystery is finally solved!!!


My theory of Cadence how she became an alicorn is like Celestia had the three tribes and she used magic to make cadence an alicorn so that's how she became an alicorn


I don't think so but I mean that receiving magic from all three tribes is logical but did you sense something common in all alicorns of Equestria all of them have some qualities of the elements like celestia take an example of her she is also great in magic like twilight and has a great leadership just like twilight she's also honest, kind ,loyal,and generous and the other of the alicorns too except flurry heart as she is a baby and talking about twilight's element it's simply common in every alicorn  as alicorns are princesses and princesses also rule and lead when there is no king no queen and neither they have a brother but what about pinkie 's element yah that's it pinkie is not serious in anything except in her friendship and family relationship and saving Equestria and alicorns are serious in all situations and also in their general work I am not saying they are absolutely serious but they still have a few qualities of pinkie like easygoinness but what about Luna yes Luna she's not easygoing but still have a few qualities of pinkie so that it every alicorn needs to have qualities of every element well cannot say every quality of every element but at least a few of them but now you will ask we have never seen a single quality of pinkie in princess Luna neither not I but in that case we have to watch the mlp videos in which Luna has a roll we have to keep an eye on her movements,dialogues and everything but that all for now and what do think making a theory about this please tell me in replies


I thought Cadence was born a Pegasus, raised by earth ponies and taken in by the princesses so wouldn’t it make sense she has it from all 3 tribes?


i have been watching u figure it  out for years im glad u  found ur answer


Anon, Starlight Glimmer is one of the most powerful magic user in the show .. no wing.


What about the baby cakes though? They are a unicorn and a pegasus born from 2 earthponies. And even if those genes were passed down from each a different parent, if those genes were still strong enough to express themselves wouldn't that mean the babies should be allicorns? And even if they are not because of a matter of chance (see hereditary chance), wouldn't that mean that allicorns should be much more common in a society where interspecies relationships among ponies are common?


I was thinking that flurry heart could be the alicorn of hope, because of the crystaling and all the crystal ponies being so excited and hopeful.

IDK that just me opinion


Um<br>Isn't it confirmed that Cadence was born a pegasus? So we already HAD confirmation that you don't have to be a unicorn.

Um
Isn't it confirmed that Cadence was born a pegasus? So we already HAD confirmation that you don't have to be a unicorn.


Hello! Maybe Im a little late but here is my theory:
I think Flurry Heart is the princess of light!
And if you look at all the 4 princesses
The Princess of TheSun and The Princess of The Moon (They are connected)
-
The Princess Of FriendShip and The Princess of Love(They are connected they both kinds of love)
And Im sure flurry heart gets their connected princess too! maybe not yet remember when Cadance was a princess twi wasnt a princess yet and cadance is older then twilight so Im sure Flurry gonna get their connected princess too maybe princess of darkness? idk


1:00
Wait...was that a "The Truth About Flurry Heart" reference?
Wow, Sawtooth, you're good.


The problem I have with the theory is that Mr. and Mrs. Cake are both earth ponies with a unicorn and Pegasus child. And explain their lineage has all three tribes so why didn’t one of their children be born an alicorn? I mean maybe there’s more likelihood of that happening if the mom is one already like with Cadence and Flurry but I’m not sure.


Cadence was raised by earth ponies, right? And she was a pegasus. Aaaaaaand she had this kinda magic spell that defeated that witch. Soooooooooooooooooo could that be the solution?


If your theorie about pinkie pie is correct, did she have her pinkie sense in the alternate timelines as well? Since she'd nerver use the bell, the magic would never spread... And why didn't she become an alicorn when she used the bell?  There was a lot of magic from all three tribes, and even magic specifically from other alicorns! Or why didn't celestia and Luna un-become alicorns?


Imagine if, Sunburst and Sunset Shimmer we're actually siblings!! That would blow up my mind!

Exotic Remrem DRWoolf001 made a video about that


this is literally game theory but for my little pony so I like it

*this is literally game theory but for my little pony* -so I like it-


If you dig around another way to prove this is cadence she was a pegasus that gained a horn when she became a princess


3 years later  ....  now i finally solved alicorns


Anybody know the classical background at the start? It sounds so familiar


Or maybe starswirl is a alicorn, and he just hides his wings with that robe of his.


So you said that cozy glow was proof that you don’t need to be a unicorn to become a alicorn I think princess cadence was proof enough


Well the real reason is because Hasbro said "One more alicorn. For the money children!"

Well the *real* reason is because Hasbro said "One more alicorn. For the -money- children!"


This would be debunked because sunset shimmer has gotten all 3 types of magic form the equestria girl series and in the my little pony series


Hold up then how did cadence become an alicorn?


I think it's because StarSwirl and Starlight practised their magic a.lot.
Star-Swirl
Star-Light
coincidence?


Do you ever wonder that if you're a good pony with a kind heart and all that turning into an alicorn  ur like sane? Or not corrupted but with being a evil pony only wanting to be an alicorn  for a bad reason ur corrupted like how in eg sunset shimmer and other world twilight turned into flying demons after using magic for a bad reason but sunset also turned to some kind of alicorn when using magic for good? It just seems like that's how it works using magic or powerful magic for a bad reason turns you into some kind of corrupted monster


Добавляйте, пожалуйста, субтитры на русском языке))


1st First of all I have to say to say that I don’t believe you, at all.

2nd if it was really that easy to become an alicorn then sooner or later some pony could’ve already found that secret out, and also there would be more alicorns in Equestria.

3rd Notice that all alicorns are princesses of something: Celestia: Day, sun. Luna: Moon, night. Cadence: Cristal Empire. Twilight: Friendship. Twilight’s niece: Next royal princess of the Crystal Empire, that’s why they are considered to be from royalty. Cozy Glow just grew a horn and bigger wings because of the magic she obtained.

4th Celestia and Luna were born before Equestria.

5th I’ll say again I don’t believe a word you say, at all, sometimes it just doesn’t make sense.


Maybe the tree of harmony made luna and celestia alicorns when they set out to defeat discord


Can you make a video if twilight is more powerful then Cadence after season 9?


I’m thinking how Kayden’s got her magic words because number one she grabbed a crystal heart I know she was already Alcorn then but last year gave her the cutey mark gave her a little bit of power to you but when she told touched a crystal heart and gave them more power of the Alcorn


Cadance was the crystal princess perhaps she got the magic of the crystal ponies & became an alicorn while the crystaling


He does know Cadence was a Pegasus right?


Can you make a video on flurry heart's cutie mark


ummm somthing doesn’t add up... <br>In the show it was around 1111 years ago that princess celestia rose the sun for the first time. Now let’s go back to the episode where starlight fixes an issue with the royal sisters, twilight said that princess Luna was trapped in the moon for 1000 years. Which means that it took Luna 111 years to become nightmare moon, but she looks much younger than 111 years old when she turned back to Luna after coming back from the moon even for an alicorn. So this theory kind of makes sense but there is a small hole. Also I figured out the how long is 1 moon question

I think ur theory that alicorns need magic from the three tribes is right but I think flurry heart was born an alicorn cause think with me cadence was a Pegasus before she was an alicorn and shining armor is a unicorn so we already have magic from two tribes and it’s added earth pony magic when cadence becomes an alicorn so the unicorn and Pegasus magic is amplified and added with a little earth pony magic so there we get it here’s my theory about flurry being born an alicorn


All of that makes sence but what about pinke pie. At the end of finale she also reserved the magoc in Grogars bell but she didn't become an alicorn. Did she?


What if cozy glow learned Friendship and love By Flurry heart and diamond name with a diamond crown cutie mark?(Btw I forget the name sorry bout that)


Can you do my literal analysis for me please 😂😂


If cozy was a alicorn just because of magic then why she did not meet celestia like twilight.


Ok I think the season why flurry Hart is an alicorn is DNA
Cadence was a Pegasus ( if that's how u spell it)
Shing armer is a unicorn
Pegasus + unicorn = alicorn
If u see my point


Ok but can someone explain to me most of the crystal ponies are just ponies? No pegasus or unicorns are spotted execpt twilight and her friends


I just realized if you flip the magic symbol with evil on one side it says LIVE wat if that means soemthin? I just wanted to point it out LOL but I would like it if you looked into it! But wat if it does mean that to be a alicorn you must LIVE? Like LIVE your dream?


Read the diary of the two sisters and you'll learn all you need to know


Hey, who are Prince Blueblood's parents? He's Celestia's nephew, but Luna was in the moon at the time of his birth. So does Celestia have another, secret sister or what?


But wait the bell also had discords magic in it before cozyglow was given some of that magic could that mean that some of discord’s magic cause cozyglow to become a ailcorn


Well if cozy glow can be alicorn then it mean any unicorn can be alicorn too if they want to

But how pegasus be alicorn?
As you know twilight is a unicorn before be a alicorn but have you ever see a pegasus get horn and be alicorn?
And they need to learn use magic


Hell I think Celestia Was an Earth Pony And Luna A pegasus


I saw a comment saying that when cozy glow got her magic sucked back she turned into pegasus but when twilight got the princess’ magic Celestia, Luna, and cadence was still alicorns. So that kicks your theory. It might be the reason how she wasn’t a alicorn a long time. THEROY 2, cozy glow is evil so maybe that’s why? But still that doesn’t make sense. But let’s look at the theory I think is the best. Let’s take a look at the episode finally solving flurry heart, celestia and Luna are sisterhood, cadence is romantic love, and twilight is friendship. Cozy glow is just a random alicorn. She does not represent anything important. I think there’s two types of alicorns, fake ones and meaning ones. Makes sense right?

Past me: CURSE YOU FLURRY!<br>Me: I can solve anything😎

Past me: CURSE YOU FLURRY!
Me: I can solve anything😎


But this can't be true even if for twilight cozy and flurry they had magic from all three tribes Celestia and Luna only got magic from earth ponies by the crystal ponys are all earth ponies sorry

Cadence is the first alicorn to give birth


He can't just magic up to be alicorn you mean earn it

Illuminati confirmed:  a colt/stallion can become an alicorn


Maybe Celestia and luna were born alicorns because they said someyhing EQESTRIA had never seen because there are from a alicorn world with unicorn pegisyi. And earth ponies as rulers so thats why. Everyones a alicorn!


Why didn't tierk become a alicorn?

Lol this was just a joke


Alicorns are pokemon (spoiler, there's a fanfic recommendation first, so either read all the way down or skip to the 'if you read this far' line lol)

So just tossing this out; there's a fanfic that I feel helps explain the evolution of alicorns a bit clearer than this video,(nothing wrong with your theory, just sharing my opinion) called MLP Loops on ffnet (yes, that old site lol--this is one of the good writers).

So their theory is basically that any pony can become an alicorn after basically 'maxing out' their cutie mark talent and with the extra juice of a magic item ( like the elements). There's a chapter where Cadence's alicornification occurs due to her rushing to spread love while holding a super magic crystal heart, as well as tying in Twilight's ascension with the elements of harmony.
Using this theory, the Princesses first ascended likely thanks to the elements as well, then tackled all the pre-Equestria issues.

As for Flurry and Cozy (and temporarily Trickie); they all had access to super magic artifacts/batteries (Flurry to Crystal Heart, Cozy & the bell, and Trixie with the amulet) however, none of them are really using their talents to the max while accessing the extra power. So they de-evolve.

Meanwhile, Flurry is likely a case of 'right conditions wrong time'---does anyone remember the timeline, isn't she born pretty close to the whole save the crystal ponies episode? I think she was in the womb then and so had all the checks hit but her mom was already an alicorn, so during the coronation the extra alicornification power went, 'oh, this part isn't an alicorn? FIX IT!' And so we have Flurry Heart, the first Equeatria-born alicorn.

If you read this far, congrats! To sum up my long winded comment, basically alicorns are like evolving certain pokemon, they need the right conditions, the right stones, and the desire to push their power beyond their limits. False alicorns are just one time only mega evolved. The rest are final stage evolutions with effort ribbons lol

@TriggerHappyEevee Yes but do we know the exact circumstances of gaining their cutie marks? Remember, they got their marks for raising the sun and moon, something that took several unicorns working together to do. The first time probably took all the magic they had

problem with that though is

Celestia and Luna were ALREADY alicorns by the time they first used the elements (which was on discord)


So Cadence was born a PEGASUS she got adopt by EARTH PONYS and the I think the evil queen was a UNICORN so she had pegasuses magic when she was born and the love of her adopted parents witch were earth pony gave her earth pony magic and I think maybe the evil queen gave her unicorn magic from shooting a spell at  her???


Ya, the alicorn mystery is solved

Well kinda


I thought it said DISsolving alicorns, cuz, then youd have a solution of alicorns.


I thought they were born as alicorns like there parents


Love your new YouTube picture happy October!


hmm what's with the flowy, magical, sparkly mane things then?

Saw tooth I just realized that mr and mrs cake are both earth pony but  they had a unicorn and a peagus ok can’t spell it but they are both earth pony and have baby’s that’s not earth pony

i found cadence's back story on youtube write cadense's back story


Wait wait twilight is a prinses luna is a prinses and celestia is a prinses......WHY ARE THERE NO QUEENS????!!!!

because Lauren Faust said in the mlp universe that she made them princesses because in fairy tales queens are villains, you can see stuff like this in disney movies and more.


Wait your a alicorn? Cause I thought only girls can be a alicorn....


this is the only theory of yours I don't approve.  i think you should check my comment on "finally solving flurry heart"


(pls read and think cuz even tho i might be wrong i can also maybe be right..) Wait.. so if this is true then how do u tell the difference between a alicorn and a pony with only Pegasus and unicorn magic?? Maybe there IS something special about being a alicorn cuz cozy might be a pony with only Pegasus and unicorn magic but not the 3rd tribe magic and maybe its the same for flurryheart cause maybe just maybe to be a true alicorn is by having all tribe magic and to get the 3rd tribe magic is by something like what twighlight or the sisters went through!

WHY DO YOU DO TIS ITS A KIDS SHOW(jk i luv ur vids and the show)


Ok you another princes and you into a point or they born with


Thia is kinda? Awkward is cozy glow and flurey heart twins i mean they are not twins about? It babys flurry heart mom is a alicorn but his dad is only a unicorn thats possible why so unicorn and alicorn love together keep them look like?


I like the idea that you came up with for Luna and Celestia, I have the book, "The Journal of The Two Sisters" somewhere that tells of their childhood, I think. That book could easily solve the question


I have a question. When Cozy Glow got her magic taken away she became a Pegasus again. But in season 4 episode 26 Celestia, Luna, and Cadence gave Twilight all their magic. Wouldn't they have also turned back into their original forms, just like Cozy did? This just doesn't add up because if Tirek took the magic from Twilight wouldn't she have turned back into a unicorn? Was this just a mistake made by the creators, or was it done with a purpose like the whole thing with Luna's cutie mark?


My thought is that it just requires high levels of magic, period - and an environment of extremely high emotions. <br>Cadance went through it in the book describing her ascention, Cozy Glow felt the satisfaction and malicious success (maybe pride?) of unlocking Grogar's Bell, Twilight finished Starswirl's spell and had just saved her friends, and Flurry Heart? Well, Thorax said that there was SO MUCH love around her.

I’m sure they took inspiration from Greek mythology. With alicorns. I’m not familiar with comics and stories outside the show. But, I remember in some story book candance was a Pegasus-turned alicorn. I personally believe that in passing a huge magical ‘test’ one becomes an alicorn. But, also taking one’s destiny into account.

I think cozy glow just got overloaded with magic. Cause her magic she used looked like twilights when she had the magic of 4 alicorns.

Or how in the crazy magic game with spike, Big Mac and discord. Big Mac was a functional unicorn. So a grant of purposeful magic.


I'm happy to see that there's still MLP content being made


If I remember correctly, Cadence was a Pegasus befor becoming an alicorn, and Shining Armor is definitely a powerful unicorn with those shield he comes up with, and even though she became this later, cadence being the crystal princess may have something to do with it, though it may not connect her with earth pony’s specifically, crystal pony’s have an innate magic of their own that was connected to Cadence, so maybe Flurry being born from the crystal princess and the unicorn guard captain, probably gained the magic of Pegasi, Univorns, and the Crystal pony’s


A topic I want you to cover now is Alicorn Magic Colors. I remember back in my childhood watching a theory video about it but I think it might've been debunked with later with future episodes. So far the only red Magic color we've seen is inherently evil, see Cozy Glow and Trixie with the Alicorn Amulet. There's also Sunset Shimmer, who's magic is red. She was originally evil before getting reformed later on in the series. What do you think?


The first time I heard your theory I loved it, but what was different when Cozy no longer had that magic from the time the princesses gave their magic to Twilight, why didn't the detransform?


Cadance has a part, but not a complete one. I think in one episode, it said she started out as a Pegasus then became an alicorn, but at a very early age. If you watch a Canterlot wedding, in Twilight's memories, you can see she is an alicorn!


That really does make a lot of sense since the entire series is based around the three tribes, why not have rulers who represent all three to be the perfect embodiment of leadership.


I like how your theories always go crazy but actually make sense at the same time...


Well first, I suggest checking out the shorts that were put out of Celestia's magic school. She points out that Magic on Equestria is very tightly linked to emotional states and intent. Its the whole core why she pushes friendship as a tenement. Magic has a... Corrupting influence. If you use it for reasons of vice, then it cycles into itself and applfies that. And we can see it with every single magic user that used magic for selfish reasons. It takes a strong will such as Celestia's to use dark magics with out having it twist her (See when she taught Twilight about it during the first apperence of Sombra). On the flip side, Those who use it with a virtuious intent, will find that cycle back on them and improve them as a power. This leads to WHY Celestia and then Twilight teaches that "Friendship is magic". With those virtues in mind, magic users are far less likely to be corrupted by it or the magical artifacts that are tainted with darker forms (Such as the Alicorn Amulet, the Changling Amulet, or the Inspiration Manifestation).

Candace was also in canon a pegasus before she was an Alicorn, she was adopted and raised in a village of earth ponies, and through an act of great love as a young mare (around the CMC age), she took on an evil enchantress pony and got her to recend her ways. The love from her town and the entrantress colessed on her and acended her to Alicornhood to which surprised Celestia as she felt the energy and adoptted her and took her to canterlot to learn how to be an Alicorn. There is an incanon book on this. She has no idea who her real parents are.

The wording of Twilight's spell that acended her actually worded in such a way that it linked her and her friends together, ""From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!" So each of the 5 gave a piece of their own magic to her and she gave a peace of herself to each of them. I wouldn't be surprised that they are all tied so closely to her that they will live as long as she does because of this.

As for the three "types" of magic, I think you're dead on target there. But miss one crutial detail. Each of the alicorns has all 3 types of pony magic AND one other thing that shows up when someone posesses all 3. Celestia brings this up when Tirek when stealing magic and that he must not have this power. There is something else too about this because Tirek stole the power from all three types but didn't get this "something extra". So centaurs at least can't have it unless they steal it from an existing alicorn.

My big question: Cutie marks. Twilight calls them Marks of Destiny. They show a lot of influence over ponies, we see many examples through the show what happens when they are messed with... What is their big deal, why only the core pony tribes have them, and what do they do? We have a veague idea but I would like to know the incanon specifics.


When you showed the video “Are there other Alicorns?” I noticed I’ve been watching your videos for 5 years now... & this theory makes SO much sense!


Well, if we take into consideration The Journal of the Two Sisters, then Celestia and Luna were already alicorns when they became princesses and Star Swirl taught them to move the sun and the moon because of that, not the other way around. But on the other hand, we all know that canonicity of books and comics is questionable and not everyone counts it.<br>For me, beacause there was never a definite answer on how alicorns work and where do they come from, it just comes down to everyone's personal headcanon.

The only question now is "what's with the height?". As we saw, Discord's Chaos Magic turned Cozy into a literal giant, with Celestial (pun intended) proportions. We saw the same thing happen to Twilight, but over the years. Although we <i>did</i> see her become slightly taller after becoming an Alicorn (I can link screenshots of her height difference if need be). Does magic constantly multiply if you have enough of it? What about Alicorn Magic makes it essentially a growth serum? There's still plenty of questions. Alicorns aren't done just yet!

I thought the Journal of the Two Sisters was considered part of the show's canon. If so, it implies that Luna and Celestia were born Alicorns, had an Alicorn parent who was most likely their mother, as there is no indication that there are male Alicorns (thus Star Swirl not being one) except for the one seen in "Grannies Gone Wild" (season 8, episode 5), but it seems that he was an animation error. However, the Journal also seems to say they were not born in Equestria, hence Celestia's comment at Flurry Heart's birth that Equestria (which I understand to be the name of a country, not the planet) had never seen the birth of an Alicorn. That would at least suggest that Alicorns give birth to other Alicorns (like Cadence did), and that implies that Celestia and Luna's mother also became an Alicorn somehow. As for the absorbing the magic of all three races to become an Alicorn, the idea makes sense, but I'm not sure what Cadence's back story is, or if it supports the "absorbing three magics" theory or not. The show did announce that Twilight would not outlive her friends but never clearly defined if that meant she would not live as long as Celestia or Luna or not, which begs the question if the long life is something that happens only to born Alicorns, or if the "Mane Six" are destined to eventually be elevated to Alicorn status themselves. It also raises the question that if a raised to Alicorn pony dies at a normal age, but Celestia and Luna, as born Alicorns don't, then what does the future hold for Flurry Heart? I do think the "absorbing three magics" theory is credible, and fills in a good chunk of the puzzle, but the riddle of the Alicorns is far from solved. Which is good, as that means there are more videos to be made, lol.


I've been watching this guy as I grow up, coming back to his channel every so often😭😭i love his channel


Cadence used to be a Pegasus but became an alicorn when she reversed a spell without any magic. She used her heart


I think with your idea of alicorns you already solved cadence. Remember in her backstory she was a Pegasus but there was a unicorn (I think) called prisima who stole all love from everyone. Cadence was able to break that spell, and in doing so, absorbed the magic and love from all three tribes, but when this happened the magic teleported her to Celestia. Though this makes me wonder about something. Could there be secret alicorns in Equestria who don't rule but stay hidden, maybe underground or high in the sky, away from pony kind living with their own set of rules?


Cadence was prove you don't need be technically an unicorn for be an Alicorn. So, you have to do a big achievement to win or horn or wings. But in this case of Cozy, she just absorbed a lot of  magic.<br> So in conclusion, there is others ways to be an Alicorn. It's just it, I was thinking that this was implied for all the show.

Technically, Cadance is proof that non-unicorns can become alicorns. Cadance was originally a pegasus.

As for Cozy Glow becoming an alicorn, I think it's more com li cated than just being pumped full of magic. After all, it caused a transformation in Chrysalis. It technically didn't show a transformation in Tirek that we haven't seen before... but that's because we've already seen Tirek pumped full of magic. And Twilight wasn't "pumped full of magic", because Celestia didn't turn her into an alicorn. That was purely Twilight. Although, seeing as how the Elements of Harmony vaporized her body, perhaps you could make the argument that she was pumped full of magic. It just wasn't Celestia, it was the Elements of Harmony. (Okay, technically you agreed with me anyway... perhaps that means we're on the same wavelength here.)

Keep in mind that I'm not arguing against your point... mostly. I think there is something special about being an alicorn. It's just that being an alicorn isn't as special as it's made out to be.

And technically, we don't know if Celestia and Luna were born alicorns, or if they ascended. After all, Celestia never said that the birth of an alicorn was never seen before. She said that it was something Equestria has never seen before. Equestria is not the world, it's just the kingdom that the princesses rule.

Hey, remember that talking about stallicorn Shining Armor?
You asked what his magic would be , and I would agree when you said protection but protection of someone's family.
Idk it's just what I think, your idea was also pretty good.Just wanted a continuation if that video.

Love the vids!


Personally, I think that the alicorn could be seen as the apex of ponykind. All three magics forming together as more and more interracial couples emerge among the ponies until more and more alicorn foals are born. As more are born, the other three races slowly begin to die out as the collective genes and magic flow together and evolve until all of ponykind consists of their final step in evolution: the alicorn.


There's a book that explains about Cadence.  She was born a winged pony.  Cast a spell reguarding love.


Do you also have some thoughts about the Sphinx and where she can be today? She is perhaps alive since her spell in the pyramid is still active.


While Flurry did not actually become a real alicorn, your theory still holds credence, and is actually the closest I've seen to being a satisfying answer. (My theory on why Cozy did NOT retain her alicorn status after the magic was removed is that the magic itself was not "converted" to be her own magic. The Elements of Harmony were already connected to her, so making that magic part of her was already halfway done. Flurry Heart was just born with it, so it was definitely attuned to her.

The only outlier in this theory is Cadence. She is an anomaly. Unless perhaps love is changeling magic, and is similar enough to count? I dunno. Her backstory is... very vague, and can have a lot of varying interpretation.


Sawtooth Waves: Talks about how alicorns isn't special
Also Sawtooth: Thanks so much to everyone who already supported my Patreon, Including my Alicorn Teir
:/


the episode you told about the stars who escaped night mare moon is kinda hard to say if you can see all the stars are really special night mare moon is powerful but as you can see the elemants closely there each elemant shines after any mission with the elemants so may be that the tree harmony freded nigth mare moon  as it knew the future is going to be in good hooves.


This makes so much sense now thank you 😊


This theory does make more sense than the others, and Cadence probably got her alicorn magic maybe by when she got her cutie mark-and it represents love. So maybe similar to the crystaling, she did spread her love to her village when they needed and they showed their love back from all tribes, and she got her cutie mark and became an alicorn. Just my theory on her T^T


Well remember in your other video,you said eg has a connection with equestria(ponies)
I mean eg deserves element of harmonies, But actually they already got their elements,

In the 'Legend of Everfree' movie/episode,they earned some kind of necklesses that keeps them connected, but the necklesses come from shards/gems just like what happend to pony version. And ponies used to power up by those elements of harmony before sombra distroys them(season 9),and eg pony up with their necklesses, Isn't it familiar? And those necklesses keeps eg connected just like ponies,So what if it is their Elements of Harmony!!!!?????

Thanks for reading fully,please make a video of it!


I'm just starting this but at 0:38 you stated that Cozy confirmed that non-unicorns could become alicorns, but in all honesty we already knew that because we know that CADENCE was originally a Pegasus

I'm just starting this but at 0:38 you stated that Cozy confirmed that non-unicorns could become alicorns, but in all honesty we already knew that because we know that *CADENCE* was originally a Pegasus


Cadince is easy shes a love bringer, the other tribes shared there magic when she started helping get people together,


Here's something to think about in the book the journal of the two sisters they got their cutie marks after becoming an alicorn


Cozy Glow didn't earn Aicorn magic she abused magic and that's how she got to be an Alicorn. (Which is what you're saying)


I used to think that long ago a unicorn and pegasus had a baby and surprisingly it was an alicorn (mix of both)..


"This proves a non Unicorn can become an Alicorn"<br>Cadence was a Pegasus before that

"This proves a non Unicorn can become an Alicorn"
Cadence was a Pegasus before that


I know this is off topic for what the video is about but has anyone thought of there being a connection between the darkness that spoke to Stygian and Grogar cause in G1 he was trapped in the shadow realm ,  and the well of shades seems to be a place or location that might of been the place  where Tambelon once stood. Also I know that you, Sawtooth, did a video on some looks into Grogar's past through specualtion and theory but I then kept thinking about how it seems that there are more Pony villains than non-pony villains which made me think that maybe there was a misunderstanding  and the ponies just assumed that Grogar tricked them or sought to do something terrible to them. And in all honesty that would be a great plot twist if the people at Hasbro reintroduce the real Grogar and show he is evil at first but then of course later on the Mane Six find out what actually happened and that Grogar was a victim of misunderstanding. It would make him more relatible that sometimes when people try to do good it is either misunderstood or people are either too stubborn to understand what a person is actually doing.


I think that Cozy Glow isnt a true alcicorn, I got that idea from another commenter and I think it makes sense. She did have the magic of the tribes but she did not retain that to keep her alicorn form and I think it just is because she doesnt also have the special kind of magic and destiny to maintain alicorn form. All of the other alicorns in the show have a huge amount of special magic that helps in the rulership of equestria and to connect with the species beyond, which ties in with destiny. I got this idea from several of your videos, mostly your most recent one explaining Flurry Heart but some older ones as well. I think to become a true an alicorn is still a special and destined thing in the way you described of having to have a certain special type of magic but you also have to have the destiny to go along with that magic. Anypony can become an alicorn temporarily but it takes destiny and a special kind of magic to make them a true permanent alicorn.


I’m honestly really, really satisfied with this answer


Sawtooth that makes so much sense as to the explanation of Alicorns and how to become one This explanation opened up my eyes to so many other theories in my little pony friendship is magic and the movies


I think the real reason why flurry heart became an à la corn when she was born is because her mother started out as a Pegasus if you ever read the book and her father is a unicorn plus her mother lived in the earth pony village Cuz to earth ponies adopted her so she would has all three of the tribes


Yes and no? Just because anypony can become an alicorn doesn't mean they're not special. Rather, they're not automatically "regal" or "royal". Remember, it's hard to come across that much magic from all three tribes to come into a or multiple ponies. Anything that would cause the magic from all three tribes to condense in a single place is hard to come across. That ability, whether good or bad, through self-action or with the help of magical objects, intentionally or not, is what makes them "special". Of course, we all have slightly different definitions of "special", so I understand...


I know the Journal of Two Sister touch the concept of their pre solar bodies attachment. Tho it never mentions if they were alicons before or after them attuning to the sun and moon.


It’s probably make sense to some extents; however, Crystalline and Coronation are totally different ceremonies tho...


It's really when they also have a big event in their life.<br>Like, more than a cutie mark.

It's really when they also have a big event in their life.
Like, more than a cutie mark.


And I think that becoming alicorn is still special. Ok, so lets say that this theory is true and in order to become an alicorn you just Have to get all 3 types of magic. You said, that its nothing special, because Cozy just got the stolen magic, but think about it: magic is not ment to be stolen. All of the alicorns we know (well, not flurry) are special. Celestia and luna were talented enough to move the sun and the moon, cadence was able to spread love and care for the crystal heart, twilight... well.. we all know that twilight and her friends has done a lot for Equestria.
As I said, magic is not ment to be stolen, it should stay natural, and stealing it is well... cheating, it should never happen. It does happen, but it shouldnt. Thats why cozy might not be a special alicorn, because she got the 3 types of magic in not natural way.
But other alicorns needed to acomplish something outstanding and special to get that magic in a natural way, their did must Have triggered it (like luna and celestia making ponies happy with thier abilies)
So I think that natural alicorns are special, because they got their magic in good way and they deserved it.
Cozy has Lost this stolen power. She was not a true alicorn. Being an alicorn not only means having horn and wings, but it also means wisdom, leadership and all other traits a true princess needs


I think cadence became a alicorn the same way! Do to the fact (from the crystal heart spell book)that she was friends with pony’s from all three tribes and the love stored in her saved the village from the enchantress transported cadence to the realm that also twilight got transferred to in magical mystery cure leave a like if you agree!


When they 1st became alicorns by fixing the endless day & night cycle, that was around the year, 1012.


i get it , but with the 3 tribes giving the alicorns magic, how would that work?
unicorns i get, but pegasi and earth ponies have no way to give magic
and say if they could
imgaine applebloom, sweetiebelle, and scootaloo all find a pony they think is worthy of leadership
does that pony become an alicorn?


I have a question? How did CADENCE become an alicorn?


Didn't they explain that alicorns are a long lost race in the books? or that Celestia and Luna was given the powers of alicorns from Starswirl the bearded? I'll tell you right now that alicorns are a joke. they always say "Alicorns are the most powerful magic users." Oh really? give me an example of their power that is so legendary. "Oh uh..look at this baby!!" All magical babies can do stuff like that it was explained in the baby sitting episode their magic is wild. alicorn is at best a title at worst a reason to get owned so someone else can prove themselves like several of the final season episodes were. there really isn't anything to solve in my opinion as Alicorns do little to nothing. we all know that Twilight Velvet made the stars, it wasn't Luna. she just took the credit. if Celestia had any power to her why didn't she save her sister who was possessed by a moon demon? it took her 1000 years and someone else to save her to do it. you can't say "She needed the elements of Harmony" because she had the elements during the fight with Nightmare Moon. alicorns are just lazy writing.


Can you talk about bat ponies? I literally haven't seen one as a villager or anything else exept being Luna's guard in some scenes, like where do they come from?


(a bit late but) Where did Cozy Glow came from and what is her attributes to became a villain and how did she manipulate the ponies to describe her past.


IVE SEEN ALMOST EVERY VIDEO U MADE AND I LOVE YOU ARE SOOOOOO RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! 😳😆


Um, you do know there are Hasbro published books on how Luna, Tia, and Cadence became alicorns...right?


Now i know what the glowing aroura was around twilight when she turned into an alicorn it was the pagasie unicorn and earth pony magic inside her turning her into an alicorn!


Didn't Tirek make a distinction between alicorn and non-alicorn magics?


Good job never giving up on this mystery! But there's one problem....discord magic belled Pinkie Pie


This theory as awesome as all your others, but it breaks all the other awsesome theories. I don't know how to feel


The question of "What are Alicorns" is the MLP:FiM equivalent of "Who's Golden Freddy" on the FNaF Fandom.


Princess cadence used to be a pegasus before becoming an alicorn and shining armor was a unicorn and as we seen with pound cake and pumpkin cake even if you have earth pony parents if there's another tribe within your bloodline there's a chance you might come out as a pegasus unicorn or earth pony keeping this in mind either cadence or Shane armor had an earth pony in their family therefore the DNA of all three tribes passed down to flurry heart plus cadence was a alicorn


Twilight had to help her friends and the elements blasted her,yes the ELEMENTS blasted her but the elements are a sign
of friendship,you can say the elements are conected to the main six but Canence's transformation happend when she beat
the witch with love.Hmmm.... love and friendship you talked about it alot so idk what to say. Now for cozy she was
POWER HUNGRY but when she was with Tireck and Crysalis she was helping them to learn friendship but
it wasn't working but she kept on helping.She was MOTIVATING them. Like in that vid about reforming
Cozy.Remenber the Tree of Harmony,the spirit of harmony had a mind of it's own in the same way
umm...destiny had a mind of it's own?Not realy sure but BAM she's an alicorn just like that.Learning
friendship:got an aword as an alicorn  Giving Love:got an aword an alicorn Giving Motivation:so close
to being reformed and destiny thought to get an a word because she so close to reforming and
think that if she is so close she can reform. Oviously that was a mistake.
This is my theory and I hope you like it. (I don't think it true though).


Hey sawtooth i think i know how sombra came to be........

Remember mistmane hade a wavey mane and a curved horn problaly he (sombra) was one of those unicorn but the dark magic consumed him and made him evil and his horn turned from a gray to an evil red. So what do you think


Why do I feel like Sawtooth’s subscribers are an secret club and Sawtooth is the leader?


When i first saw Flurry Hearts goddamn WINGSPAN I panicked, I thought when shes full grown the wings would be insanely huge


i thought celestia and luna were naturally born alicorns, which is why they're immortal


Can you do a video of exactly why Twilight became an alicorn


Hi so I know that the topic of prince blue blood is an old one, but I haven't seen it been addressed. My question how is he princess celestias nephew? Is there another sibling we dont know about or could he be princess Cadence's brother?


I would have loved that "leaked" alicorn plot for the movie but noooOOOOOoooo.


Wasn't Cadence a Pegasas before she turned? And Shining Armour is a unicorn. That could be how.


I can't accept this 😰 years of theorizing thrown out the window


So to become an alicorn you must be a unicorn is what I’m seeing because they were all unicorns besides cosy glow


I really want to know who cozy glows parents are.


I think only ponies who deserve to be alicorns are , if you think about it cozy glow deserved to be an alicorn because it lead to her demise


I Think if you guys have a legend that has never been found for years in the beginning of the pony world! Furry heart might be the chosen one! There's proof in the time jump Episode! She might save the Crystal empire from king Sombra!


I think you've already talked about this but I'm new to the channel so I don't really know but why are all alicorns female, maybe starswirl did  not  become an alicorns cause he was male


0:36 "Non uniconrs can become Alicorns"
Princess Cadance has entered the chat
like seriously


Wait... if all three tribes eat film and flams food... or all three tribes give them money.... dear god THAT EXPLAINS THAT ONE ALTERNATE FUTURE!


if you know celetisa had wings it is why she talks about flying and luna was a unicorn as she knows about magic so much  and the explain as you see l luna was evil and hen someone becomes evil the magic grow's and that the point how she could handal all the evil magic


Would you please make a video on the real reason behind night mare moon .See the theory goes like this
If you remember the tale of the 2sisters was after Luna was banished to the moon celestia took in charge of both sun and moon if you think about it how did celestia get the power to reach the moon? although there are 2 explanations
Explanation number 1- after Luna was banished to the moon celestia use the elements of harmony to gain the power of raising the moon too
Explanation number 2 - celestia had the ability to raise the moon long before Luna was banished. Luna might have gotten to know that celestia had this power and become jealous and felt like a spare . celestia would have probably give in that position the Luna for raising the moon because she was her sister. this explains a lot and makes a lot more sense for Luna to become jealous of celestia and turn into a nightmare moon

I told you about this theory invite of you videos of yours. If you think me during make sense then please make a video about it


If mlp had bending powers
(Avatar:the last airbender)

Unicorns: water and fire benders
Pegasus: air benders
Earthponies: earth benders
Alicorns: avatars


Hey l remember in my little pony twilight was tall as celestia and had a long flowy mane how does that apply to twilight being an artificial alicorn?


i think of alicorns like going God Tier in homestuck


I think you right. It makes a lot more sense now.


Ah... Returned here after a few years...
Certainly brings back memories lmao
Forever Brony Notion


I am not exactly a serious fan, but the theory make sense to me. Oh also i head some of the comics go into Candace becomibg an alicorn and she was actually born a pegasus, but it was just from a youtube comment so i have no idea how true that is (or how canon the comics are)


i know his is off the topic but can you congclude that when the equestria girls was on vacation in the series of "spring breakdown" we know that twillight has wings but when sunset,rainbow,and twillight, find another portal to equastria there's something that twillight didn't has wings.this is wierd but why, we all know that when twillight and her frienda transform twillight has wings which should appear when they went to the portal to equestria


The Princess of love and love to everyone pony and all those three tries which store all the magic from


Wait this dude still makes videos-

I feel like the last time I saw him was in 2016-


Sawtooth waves: there is nothing special about being an alicorn
Everyone: you must be crazy, like I mean what
Still everyone: * dislikes *
Me: like my comment if you disliked


but cadance was originally a Pegasus to we allready knew being an alicorn wasn't restricted to unicorns :T


Well technically cadance was a non ucinorn because she was a Pegasus first


yes i agree jus like that all the three tribes like the spill twilight chase, one to another another to one. jus end it there in that sentence from them all of three tribes on one unicorn will make an Alicorn. I love your videos I love same of your tires.


Look. I give up on this alicorn thing. We have come to the line where we allow Cartoon to not make sense cuz.... Its cartoon. If this was an anime on the other hand then it must make sense or else the whole fandom will come for the author


My only question is if this is the case, what about Pinkie Pie? She also absorbed the magic from the bell, if I'm not mistaken. She didn't become an alicorn.

@Dominique Fairclough You could be right. I don't know if it was all of Discords magic or not..

Wasn’t it only discord’s magic in it at the time. And they have been saying she has chaos magic so probably she didn’t need to change since she already could control that magic like that episode where all the unicorns got back their magic and pink was shown getting magic back too idk


cadence wasn't a unicorn too she was a Pegasus before an alicorn


I am here bc of the thumbnail of grown-up flurry heart


Can you please make a video about how the pool ponies turn into a Questria girls


I am going to guess that the answer is simpler than we want it to be.


Ok then what about why male alicorns aren’t a thing


Princess Cadence was a pegasus before she became an alicorn


You’re just a human not a pony or a changeling and doesn’t this mean flurry heart is a princess like all the other Alcorns 🤷🏼♀


i just notice the sirens and windigows look the same and they have to do from anger and dis trust but are windigows other bad spirits from sirens and sirens water windigows snow


you do realize that there is a spoiler about how celestia and luna became alicorns  and its nothing near what you just say'd right?


Mabye because twilight just became a alcorn and star swirl has more experience


What about pinkie. She got magic from the bell but she just turned giant. Unless it was only discords...


this holds a lot of water dose this theory but there is a flaw i think what about kaidense it was sunbut that made her a princes


Good video of cozy glow and flurry hearts


When will you work on the book of Equestria's legend
The book all started from
The book all ended in
You remember ?


The first half of the video is good but the second half of the video is bad because Celestia and Luna live thousands of years and Twilight Sparkle was not live thousands years because Lauren Faust in the own words says she will outlive her friends


Raise your hands how many peoples OCs are alicorns


I think Equestria and Laura did not become alicorns Thevar born alicorns


Cozy globe is not a Alcorn she’s a Pegasus silly


(4:28) true but I still think it's because their parents are Alicorns... I should watch your other video


Just as flurry heart doesn’t does make cozy glow a princess and like the two sisters and cadence and queen chrysalis twilight and sunset and twilight and her friends  Shouldn’t cozy glow and flurry heart battle


Pls make more remixes .. could you make gigle of the ghosty in friendship is magic pt 2 plss


Or Celestia and Luna was born as Alicorns thanks to there parents. 😑


ᴅᴏʟᴏʀᴇs ᴍᴀᴅʀɪɢᴀʟ👂🏽


bro i have no idea what this is about but im all for it


I solved CADENCE !!!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪🧐🧐😦😦😦😦😦 . It is related to the crystal heart spell , when cadence showed love to a villain something similar to the crystaling happened the ponies around her shared their love and light with her ( which eventually became magic )  and that love and light flowed into her rest is twillight is replaced by cadence in allicorn transfiguration . Please share your thoughts I hope the brony notion sees this 🤞🤞🤞🤞


I think a alicorns are important because  if there are none day and night there will be the end of the wold


Wait what about the equestrian girls? From the human world


Vidio ideas: why do only 3 pony has twin name and who has it is
1.twilight (sparkel)
2.starlight (glimer)
3.sunset (shimer)

And no one than that three pony has twin name bon bom and lyra is just good friend and name is not twins

And how to became an alicorn
Is se what durpy do in mlp movie

She did put a colored party hat on
And only pegasus can do that


I have a dout ?<br>I have never seen pony pinkie using sprinkle magic before😕😕

I have a dout ?
I have never seen pony pinkie using sprinkle magic before😕😕


Wait does a earth become a unicorn then become a alacorn


You should find out is starlight and twilight are sister because there surname  is the same


Wait wait wait I think this is the first like medium pony because like you know how flurry heart is a baby scale and on Eliquis I mostly like grown-up


Starlight glimmer seems good to become a alricorn actually


There’s a book that actually explains how Cadence became an alicorn, she was born a Pegasus I believe. She was an orphaned Pegasus and Celestia adopted her as her niece and made her an Alicorn


I have posted a comment in your last video the younger six test of element maybe you like to check it <br>Out it may help

I have posted a comment in your last video the younger six test of element maybe you like to check it
Out it may help


There are more than 4 alcones she is the first she is not a Princess but a Queen in the Youtube there is another show about my little pony about the first Alcorn princess just tex Princess Twilight moon


Isn’t sunset simmer become a Alacorn from freindship games


I hate him bc he turned him self a alicorn!


Ok but what about human sunset shimmer we've seen pony sunset why not her other human self


Hasbro: <b>What in the world are u sayin'??</b>

Hasbro: *What in the world are u sayin'??*


wowzers, havent been here for 2 years and its the same as it was minus the intro music


How about sunset shimmer is a alicorn but the power of the three tribes is lay dormant inside of her ,think of the friendship games all the mane 5 rapresent the tribes and the elements :rarity =unicorn magic passing with the crown , rainbow dash and fluttershy = pegasi magic passing with the crow and applejack and pinkie pie = earth pony magic passing with the crown. So when sunset transform into a daydream ,after that alicorn magic begin to be, but it lay dormant.


А можно на русском?) 😅😅

А можно на русском?) 😅😅


Please put my name in the alicorn List it’s Ellora kaur


WAIT
umm If u play it bach when the crystal heart was powered the second time in the equestria games
It made i super sonic rainboom!
Do u know what this means sawtooth this means that
Not only pegisy can sonic rainboom. Listen here. Try to come up with an amazing theory ablt this STAT


why can only princesses the only mayors instead of stallions

Girl show. Same reason only Kings/queens are evil.


Finly u found it out finly u found it out 😆😆😆😆😆😁😁😁


and the big point is the sisters aren't actully sisters and luna with a horn when she was and celetisa with wings it does't make any sense so plz tell about the sisters bye.........................................


Why TF is this recommended just because my profile pic is the purplehorse doesn’t mean I actually watch the show


Nope, Nope, Nope the only logical explanation is that Twilight, Cozy and Cadence were fake alicorns. And Celestia and Luna are the real deal.


Geese I’ve seriously have bin sick for 6 days


Seriously what even are you two having read the Harry Potter books watch the movies


Кто ищет Русский коммент ?😏

This is actually a very beautiful explanation! I especially love the part of how Celestia and Luna became alicorns.

רוני בן עזרא


Since I started watching MLP, I've always heard that an alicorn was a representation of all 3 pony types: earth pony, unicorn and pegasus. I figured unicorn and pegasus were because of the wings and horn, but I couldn't really figure out the earth pony part. And honestly, watching this video, I never considered the hooves being a factor. But I guess it would make sense since.


I kinda already figured that and have been treating the alicorns like the Jedi or sith in the Swotor game. They aren’t special, just highly skilled in what they do.


Makes sense. Also, as the alicorn pendant showed, the reason it normally requires a level of experience is because such power is dangerous in inexperience hooves. Every shortcut, such as an artifact or being born that way,  has led to power madness.


It could have been that the other alicorns + Cadence, still had to do something to gain their alicorn status. Yes, I do think the EUP. magic played a part, But you have to do SOMETHING. ("Worthy", or not.) You have to do something to get you that kind of magic. I still don't know if Cadence's original story is valid, but It's the closest thing we've got. We can take what happened there with what happened to the others. Celestia/ Luna: raised moon/sun, gaining admiration for doing so. Cadence: showed an evil enchantress some love. Twilight: created friendship magic. Flurry Heart: Built a light-hearted relationship with her Mother and Father.  Cozy Glow: not only received that magic but she was seemingly always willing to take some (EVIL) action. (Big or Small).  Huh Admiration has a lot to do here with with becoming an alicorn. But isn't always guaranteed to happen. Kind of like getting a cutie mark.


Has any of the show's creators or staff ever reached out to you about your evaluations of the show? i think you so far have the Science behind MLP nailed.


Great theory. Consistent, solid and entirely plausible. Well done /)


It does get me wondering... Could any village or town with a diverse enough community make their mayor or leader an Alicorn for their duration of leadership? And does a pony's age and size increase the amount of magic required for Ascension, temporarily or otherwise?


Don’t forget that transfiguration spells are very easy to perform.

And what about the people who came before Celestia and Luna? How was the role of leadership decided before they took office?


So does meaning you’re an alicorn mean you’re automatically gifted with unicorn, earth pony, and pegasi gifts? Twilight had a bit of trouble getting used to her wings, so does that mean they have the ability to have the gifts of all 3 kinds of ponies, but they have to learn and get used to it first?


The book "Journal of the Two Sisters" stated that Celestia and Luna were born Alicorns, and there was an Alicorn tribe long before them.


Cadence supposedly took out Sombra with the Crystal Heart. She earned the power through her subjects as well.


Maybe another explanation for Ali-Cozy would be that the gigantic amount of magic she absorbed from Grogar's bell manifested in a unicorn horn. And before you dismiss my theory, keep in mind the effect it had on the appearance of Chrysalis and Tirek - and they already had magical horns..


It can be a three-fold problem: amount, type, and synthesis. Alicorns seem to be exceptionally strong sources of magic, not just three ponies' worth. So, you probably still do require a massive amount of power. Secondly, it must be a kind of power connected to all three kinds of ponies. Fair enough. But lastly, there's the issue of synthesis. You can have bricks, mortar, and a mason, but without a blueprint, you won't build a house. It is the combination of all three magics in one vessel that makes an alicorn so powerful. But it may not be as easy as stuffing different batteries together. Tirek could drain all the magic he wanted but could never synthesis the three. He took it as raw energy, but perhaps for them to coexist in their pony-specific forms, there must be some kind of magical catalyst.


Hey sawtooth waves, I was wondering if I could use some of your theories to create an audio drama that takes place after season 9 of MLP. I will credit you in the casting call video, the intro, the credits and description if you grant permission.

Kind regards,

-The English Rose


Hello, the great emperor here, I'm intrigued about the knowledge of how alicorns truly work, it puzzled me for quite some time and I wonder though, I've been wanting to ask every single mlp YouTuber about this matter. Has there been humans on mlp earth? Because I've found something very interesting on Google 68 days ago, yes, I literally counted the days, don't judge me. In any rate, I found an island somewhat near stormking's lair. It says, "Human Republic" I would like to know about that. Thank you for having me here and have a nice weekend.


once again, you might be on to something. the power of an Alicorn is a mass collective trinity of power from all three tribes. the strength of a Earth pony, the speed of a Pegasus, and the intellect and magic of a Unicorn. on their own are of some power, but when combined it's like the powers of a god.


I think there is still a difference between what happen to Cozy Glow and the other alicorn. Because her transformation appeared to be temporary or at least solely dependent on the magic she stole. She was a alicorn because of the amount of magic she was possessing but the magic was not given to her because of her own abilities and therefore it was not her own magic. Twilight earned her magic because of her abilities.

The other alicorn do not lose their alicorn appearance just because their magic is gone, unlike Cozy Glow. So whatever is going on with the other alicorn is more permanent. Maybe how your magic is obtain matters. If it is not your own magic then you are not fully an alicorn, your only an alicorn based off the amount of magic flowing through your body but not yourself one. Maybe evil and good intention play a role in whether you are truly an alicorn or just a pony overflowing with magic. Nightmare moon is Luna who is already an alicorn so I don’t think that counts.

I think there is still something special about alicorn because not every pony is just randomly becoming one. It takes either your own special abilities or a magical force/relic to transform you. Perhaps it is inheritable since flurryheart  but to be fair Cadence is he only alicorn we even see have a child so of course know one would have know how genetics plays a rule. And perhaps flurryheart is destined for something which in turn makes her worthy of her alicorn appearance. She just hasn’t got the chance to show it yet.

But yea. Make do with that as you will. But you got to admit there is something different between the other alicorn and Cozy Glow. As she the only alicorn we have seen lose their alicornness.


I believe you have to get a really strong kind of magic, a special one,  that is different from the other types in order to be/become an alicorn


I just noticed sawtooth waves that you thought cadance was a pegasi at first but in threes a crowd cadance says she is a little out of practice when it comes to flying which has two options one she was a unicorn or two she wasnt a her full flying potential.I love your vids by the way


if flurry could just receive the magic from all 3 tribes from her mom, then why can't other ponies pass on magic from multiple tribes to their children, what makes alicorns special in terms of what magic they can pass on. I think that something more is going on with cozy as an alicorn, I think she became a different type of alicorn to any we've seen before, if she is even an alicorn at all, she already had pegasus wings, so what if she simply was transfigured by the bell to have a horn in order to control the magic she received. also cadence doesn't fit with this new theory, where would she have received the magic from the other tribes, we do know that she had the perfect setup to have created a new type of magic, but not a setup to have received magic from the other tribes.


I still think that the last theory made more sense, Cozy Glow just simply cheated her way to become an alicorn.


Eh🤷♂<br>Interesting take but I'll forever stick by Faust's lore behind Alicorns since besides being all round epic sounding, its the least convoluted. Idk why the showrunners didn't just stick with that.

My guess is that becoming an alicorn is indeed only about recieving the three magics. However I also think that the alicornisation of Celestia‚ Luna‚ Twilight and Cadence wasn't as "organic" as you make it seem. Twilight didn't become an alicorn when the beam struck her. She became an alicorn while returning from the pocket dimension where Celestia was. That means Tia knew Twi was going to become an alicorn‚ hence this was a similar process for herself‚ so no "given magic from the crowd" or something like that. And about Cadence‚ how could this have happened? Well‚ I like the theory of "creating a new kind of magic is what triggers Starswirl's spell". Your " Starswirl's secret" has too many compelling arguments. Especially the "Transfiguration‚ Dimension magic... " about Starswirl's specialities. Alicorn are really just 3-magic ponies‚ but it is quite difficult to combine this magic. Apart from Flurry who inherited it, Cozy used a legendary artifact‚ and the others were created by Starswirl's spell (remember how he was unphazed by there having two more alicorns when he returned? It couldn't have been something like crowd acclamation‚ which is a pretty unique event). I think there are many more elements going in this direction than to being possible to transfer magic directly‚ naturally and durably from one pony to another.


Ok but I wanted a episode where we find out how cadence became a alicorn


okay so i was thinking about how cadence became an alicorn. im pretty sure she was a pegasus first?? but the point is, obviously, she wasn't an alicorn when she was born. so, her whole thing is spreading love, right? and since all of the love she spreads is love from all three tribes, i'm thinking it has something to do with that. like maybe when she was a lot younger there was a lot of fighting and anger and hate around her, but she found a way to bring those angry people love, and she ended up being well known for spreading love. and idk, either that love from all three tribes manifested in her and made her an alicorn, or celestia and luna were impressed with her and made her an alicorn


Well,if we see in retrospective Starl Swirl was whom make the worst mistakes. The upbringing of the two sisters that bring about Princess Luna feeling disdained, the creation of the pony of the shadows and the betrayal to his poor friend who really get join the Pillars and  others questionable decisions


this has nothing to do with alicorns but since almost every villain has been reformed, it sucks how king sombra is just dead. I think he could be reformed too and I know the best people to reform him. Stygian and Princess Luna. I think that the pony of shadows is just a spirit that takes over you. When Stygian turned evil, some black magic came out of his eyes and engulfed him into this black circle thing, when luna turned evil, her eyes grew wide and black magic engulfed her into this black circle thing as well. I believe that some crystal princess before cadence made sombra jealous so darkness took over him too. All three ponies can relate and this is why I think that Luna and stygian could reform sombra. (and i lowkey ship luna and sombra tehe)


I thought there was some lore that Cadence was actually a pegasys first, not making Cozy Glow the first non-Unicorn. I'm too lazy to check my sources, though.


Your idea of how Celestia and Luna's becoming alicorns did happen to make good sense. Good job bro


For Cadence I think its because of her earth pony adopted parents and Celestia's "unicorn" (in this case she provides the unicorn magic) since she was a pegasus originally


I know some people say princess cadence was originally a pegasus. I’m here to prove it (kinda)
Flurry heart was born an alicorn. But how did this happen? I believe it is because shining armour is a unicorn, and princess cadence was originally a pegasus.
(If not it’s because her mother is an alicorn, which have elements of all three tribes)


Okay I have a question though, the alicorn amulet. Surely it is supposed to give you alicorn powers which is magic from unicorns, pegasus and earthponies, however we did not see that Trixie had wings? Perhaps she just hid them under her cloak but it does go against this therory I believe. I do apologise if you debunked this but it was a while since I watched this initially and I just thought of it. By the way, great video!


I wonder if anyone has forgotten that Cadence wasn’t an alicorn before, but was a pegasus and became an Alicorn due to Celestia making her into one?


I guess alternatively Grogar’s bell contained Grogar’s magic. While Grogar wasn’t a pony he couldn’t fly, making him similar to Earth ponies, and could use magic, making him similar to Unicorns. Since Cozy was a Pegasus to start with that would has given her magic similar to the other two tribes. Alternatively she was a winged unicorn, retaining her Pegasus wings and gaining a Unicorn horn and Unicorn-like powers as a result of absorbing Grogar’s powers, instead of being a true Alicorn. Certainly when the extra power was removed she reverted back to her Pegasus form, while we’ve seen that Luna, Celestia, Cadence and Twilight simply lose their cutie marks and perpetual hair wind when depowered.


I don’t think that Cozy was a true alicorn seeing as how she was defeated so easily, and I think that’s because to be a true alicorn you need to have one of two things, one you earn it from doing something extraordinary and good, or two you are destined from birth to do something extraordinary and good along with one of your parents doing something along those lines


I think I figured out how cadence became alcorn in the crystal heart song that you know Kane's backstory is that she defeated an evil sorceress whose magical crystal necklace was absorbing the love which is also a type of magic from all types of ponies so when that necklace was broken cadence absorbed a little bit of that magic so that's how I believe she got powers from all three tribes


I suspect Star Swirl was one of the ponies raising and lowering the sun and moon and at the same time teaching the sisters in hopes of having them as apart of the group to take over but when they moved the heavenly bodies with ease the ponies preformed a ceremony a kin to the crystaling and the Alcorns were born, thou I suspect generics are involved as well so perhaps there been a Pegasus and Earth pony in their blood lines which helps explain the current ruler of the crystal empire becoming an Alicorn!


you could view it as nothing more than a Plot-Device?<br>but Cozy Glow was the leader in her group as well.

This makes so much sense to me. Way to go!


Hey Sawtooth!
I have a question
In season 1, The Ticket Master, Rarity said that she wanted to marry Celestia's nephew

To have a nephew you need a sister or brother to be married and have a son

And as we know Luna isn't married so who is Prince Blueblood's mom or dad?


do you remember when you posted the video about How the Tree of Harmony REALLY Died? I agree with that idea 100% but ...... there was something that you missed.  if you take a look at The Magic Friendship grows song, put it on the lowest slow-motion setting and look at the  scene twilight sparkle, pinkie pie, fluttershy, applejack, rainbow dash, and rarity make a white background turn into a background with many characters. you know how the Mane 6 are connected to the pillars? Fluttershy turned the white background into one with characters in those characters we see Meadowbrook and Meadowbrook is connected to Fluttershy right? well, who is the other character we seen Fluttershy's background SANDBAR.
