The Truth about Star Swirl

If Celestia and luna are the first alicorns, and don't have Children, that means that cadence is the first alicorn to give birth and that means, that alicorns give birth to alicorns.

I honestly think that flowing manes have to do with having a lot of magic. In misty mane’s case, she was known for being very powerful in magic, thus flowing mane. Also, when Twilight had to raise the sun during the season four part two episode, as she begins to use Luna and Celestia’s magic, HER mane begins to flow as well. We also know that in the play about Celestia in one of the later episodes, she possessed a magic to do something that drained six other unicorns meaning her magic is greater than at least six ponies out together. I think that the flowing manes simply have to do with the amount of magic a pony has and once that magic reaches a certain level, you gain a flowing mane. Kind of like them being in super saiyan mode all the time. At least that’s my take on their manes. Though I would to see a video about equestrian manes in general and why ponies are born with such unique patterns.

Guys,I have a really big theory:
Sawtooth is 100% a changeling

Well, the whole "flowing mane" thing probably comes from immortality. Twilight has a flowing mane in the future, so maybe it's something you gain as you grow older and taller, since younger Twilight and Cadence don't have them. If Cadence also has this immortality, she'd likely grow to Luna's size and gain a flowing mane as well - considering both Luna and Celestia both used to have single-colored manes that didn't flow at all.

For the tallness, both Luna and Cadence have slightly taller-than-average height and Celestia is towering. Twilight also has a neck that curves in, rather than the normal puffed-out chest version, so she's slightly taller than her friends. Cadence is shorter than Shining Armor, though.

It would be great if they made an origins series about the Pillars and how Celestia and Luna came to be

I just watched this again and realized that there could be a hidden meaning behind flurry hearts name “Flurry” as from the snow and blizzards from the windigos and “Heart” from the the shape of the fire of friendships.

I just had an epiphany and legit created a new account to comment it lol
Going with the theory of an alicorn being a pony that has absorbed magic from the 3 tribes, what if the earth pony magic presents itself visually as size? Alicorns are bigger than average ponies, even Twilight before she became the ruler of Equestria was a smidge taller than other ponies. And just look at the other alicorns, pretty much everything about them is tall. This also may explain why alicorns' wings&horns are bigger than the average pony?
We also saw Rockhoof grow majorly in size with magic and shrink back down when stripped of magic. Perhaps this goes off of the same thing?

If we look at the last episode in season nine (or at least one of the final ones) we see that Flurry Heart has a special connection with the Crystal Empire in being the representative for the “light” while Cadence represents the “love”. If we take the idea of genetics and combine it with that, it might be possible to argue that Flurry Heart was an Alicorn at birth because her destiny is already sealed knowing that a Crystalling will take place, thus solidifying her role within Equestria. This is a theory that’s probably already been thought of, but this was just a thought I had towards the end of this video.

well what sets them apart is that celestia and luna control the day/night cycle and also something else i noticed is i mean look at there names celestia wich could also be transfered to celestial and Luna is spanish for moon and cadence and each twilight represent a kind of love romantic love and love for your friends

A lot of ppl seem to forget about how when unicorns were raising the the sun and moon it was said that two UNICORN sisters took their place. The two sisters were Celestia and Luna. In the painting things, Celestia was the pink sister and Luna the blue one. What twilight's vision/dream got wrong when she went back in time is Celestia. Celestia would still have pink hair and light pink fur. The result of her using the elements of Harmony and the blast of banishing Luna made her pelt white and her hair rainbow. Pls Sawtooth consider this. It makes the most sense of how the legend of the two sisters worked and how they sisters became allicorns

15 year old me coming back to observe the fandom after 4 years: 👁👄👁


Also me who didn’t know the show ended: 😳

Dear sawtooth,candens defeated a monster well I know this does not make sense but it's true.

I know that twilight has defeated many ones but it was a pony she was an evil pony that cadence mad to love to care and respect

"An age spell? How can you do an age spell? Only the highest level unicorns can do that" (or something like that I don't know the exact quote) -twilight sparkle to Trixie with the alicorn amulet

Actually a lot of things are mentioned in the official books like the fact that alicorns have earth ponies powers in the wonderbolts handbook and as for celestia and luna the journal of the two sister tell how they got theirs winks or cutie makrs .

i think the bearded guy (yes i forgot the name) didn't really think about an allicorn having a baby bc the bearded guy dont know about the magic of love yet, i mean celestia doesn't really have the time to mingle with the guys in her castle and the same goes to luna and maybe twily, the ending doesn't really show her with that knight in the equestrian girls series but also the creator said that the equestrian girls are not canon to the mlp

Also, Flurry Heart's name has Heart in it, and the magic from the three tribes is in the shape of a heart. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!

it does seem that star swirl is behind all this.🤔

Theory; “Clover-light Madness.”
When Star Swirl became the sisters mentors he also told tales about ‘Clover The Clever.’ and how she gave the idea into combinig the 3 tribes magic. Now we all know that Twlight looks like Clover, maybe it was just a easter egg or maybe it was for far deeper meaning. When Star Swirl told the tales of Clover Celestia held onto that knowlodge till this day. I think that its not Twilight who looks like Clover but its Clover who looks like Twilight. I’m thinking these two ponies were related somehow, Maybe as a great great grandmother? Or maybe TIME TRAVEL. Maybe Twilight from a different dimenson messed with time travel and ended up in the age with Star Swirl. When Celestia first laid eyes on Twilight she realized that Twilight had knowlodge like Clover The Clever and found out the time travel buisness, I think Celestia KNEW That another Twilight messed with time travel. She thought that Twilight would be a perfect candidate for a Princess, Therefore Celestia knew Twilight was going to become an Alicorn this whole time. She didn’t speak and wanted to see for herself and it happened Twilight ended up in that realm. THE END, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED! :D

Something that's interesting about alicorns (in a real world sense) is that they've been adopted as proper mythological creatures. For example, alicorns feature especially in Keeper of the Lost Cities, along side other creatures like elves, gnomes, trolls, unicorns, and many, many others. But alicorns don't have any mythological precedence, they were literally created by My Little Pony. There would have been no mix of unicorns and pegasi, because pegasi are from Greek mytology, and unicorns are (strangely enough) from the bible. And there was that whole thing of separating christianity and "pagan" religions. While the Renaissance did stir up interest in the old Greek and Roman classics, it was more as a fiction than as an active belief, and there was still a divide and there was no crossover (other than when some writers wrote old gods are demons in Hell). Not very relevant to thins video, but I just thought it was interesting.

The royal sisters' canon backstories are still a bit of a mystery, but I find your take on it very interesting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! ^_^
Star Swirl's debut brings up new questions. If the Pillars planted the Tree almost right before they went to Limbo, how did the royal sisters know what it was and what the Elements could do? And how would they even know what qualities were associated with what jewel? The Pillars' traits are different from the Elements'. Maybe they used some kind of magic sense or analysis spell?

Sweet Celestia.
Can it be?
A NOTION UPLOAD??
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!


Edit: Also, as a hard-core Star Trek Next Generation fanatic, I loved the Data/Lore references. :)

I think having a flowing hair means you’re very very powerful being

We also need to remember that Flurry Heart is something NO ONE has ever seen before, not just because she was born an alicorn, but because she’s the only offspring of an alicorn that we know of. Of course the royal sisters wouldn’t have seen something like that before, they, nor any other alicorns, have canonically had offspring before Cadence and Shining Armor.

Tbh, I think the "ethereal mane" thing is a result of possessing either very powerful magic, or a whole lot of it (possibly both) for an extended period of time. Like, either there's so much to it that the person in question has to let off some of it passively, or it begins to effect their very being. After all, Cadence's mane looks (and acts!) notably different from everyone else's that we've seen, and she's the second-newest to be transformed, having been such for a few years longer than Twilight. I mean, it "feels" more plastic-y to me, but maybe that's just Synaesthesia on my part...

It could also be that since Cadance and Shining Armor had strong connections to the Mane Six, which consists of ponies from the three different tribes, that allowed Flurry Heart to gain the magic of all three types of ponies from before she was born.

Wow, 17 minutes of quality MLP analysis, you are a true savior in these hard times, my dude!

I came up with something:
The flowing mane is probably to resemble how much power you have
Because in the episode twilights kingdom pt2 when twilight absorbed the other princesses magic she had a flowing mane even tho it was just for awhile and i really like this theory!

Well, except it says in Magical Mystery Cure that Star Swirl could never figure out that spell, so why would he have forgotten whatever allowed him to turn Celestia and Luna into alicorns? Unless the part he couldn't figure out was how to make it self-propagating, but that seems a bit flimsy. Given how Cadence was made (no real evidence Star Swirl was involved), I'm not sure Star Swirl actually had anything to do with Twilight becoming an alicorn, either, except by somehow triggering whatever latent power normally does it.

hey sawtooth waves, i have a theory for you, if it was creating new magic that made you an alicorn then why didn't starlight become a alicorn.
you see, i doubt the spell she used to get rid of cutie marks was already made. when sugar belle says "but the staff has all the magic we need" starlight responds with "the staff is a piece of wood i found in the desert" so it seems weird that any unicorn makes a spell that only works via staff so starlight must have made that bit then when the cutie marks come off they are replaced with a equal sign instead of going blank, that would convince the ponies further that it would make them equal. and my last point is the most obvious: who would make a spell to get rid of cutie marks? starswirl would be the only pony who had enough magic to do it but why would he want to get rid of cutie marks and replace them with equal signs. that is why i think starlight made the spell so, i think your theory is wrong! (i dont mean to be rude tho)

Tbh, your theory is a good one and makes a lot of sense! But, I think Grogan is the one responsible for making the race of Alicorn’s, as his target is to merge other species together to make new ones, as the 3 tribes are also different species, so Grogan made the Alicorn race.

The only thing you missed is that when Twilight became an Alicorn something came from inside her, so It was already a part of who she was, it just needed a push to be seen.

I think the reason Celeste and Luna looks so different from Cadence and Twilight is because of the amount of magic they have like their main, for example when Twilight had to receive Magic from Celestia Luna and Cadence to be to save the magic from Tirec you could see for a brief moment that when she used her magic her main started to flow and it became all sparkly like Celestia's and Lunas so could it be that the amount of magic each princess holds changes that characteristic?

I can definitely apply this logic to my own fic, since I need a reason for my sona's pony transformation to become an alicorn. Given that his cutie mark is a simplified drawing of Solar Flare from Okami, I imagine he makes new magic involving fire in some way. I did plan on making him specialize in fire magic after becoming one anyway, since he turns into a pegasus upon arriving in Equestria.

It's a weird concept because it's always assumed that only unicorns can become alicorns. However, that aforementioned comic implies that Cadence was not a unicorn, but a pegaus before ascension.

Excellent theory as always!

I feel like Flurry Heart would be an alicorn because of an effect from the Crystal Empire. I don't really know how it would work but it's just a thought.

Celestia and Luna were unicorns
In the first episode of season 1 in the story it says : the elder sister used her unicorn magic to raise the sun, and the younger raised the moon.

The thing is, no other alicorns have had foals. Cadence was the first, so maybe if celestia had a foal it’d also be an alicorn!

Later on twilight had a flowing mane . I think that you get a flowing mane when you rule equestria.twilight got her flowing mane when she ruled equestria.Also,I think you're right on that star swirl envented the
Alicorn.But since cadence doesn't rule equestria,then she doesn't have a flow ing mane

I still think this is your most likely alicorn theory. The newer one about being given magic from the three tribes doesn't seem likely, as Cosy lost her horn and alicorn wings despite being pumped full of unicorn, pegasus and earth pony magic. I believe that it is a combination of creating new magic, a great deed, and magic from the three tribes combining is what created a permanent alicorn change. With Flurry, she was already going to be revered by the ponies of her parents' kingdom, she was destined for great things (as depicted by the window) and eventually does go on to accomplish great new feats of magic with the crystal heart.
Cosy doesn't have the reverence of any pony and Cosy hadn't accomplished any new kind of magic. So, her horn and alicorn wings vanish when others do not upon magic being taken away.

These are my opinions please don’t take them negatively
So…Starswirl couldn’t have made Celestia and Luna an alicorn because they were already getting a lot of magic from the three tribes and then later became alicorns. So, Celestia and Luna would have already been alicorns when he would have cast the spell. And as we saw with Twilight, it’s not a spell that transforms them, it’s that swirly thing.

Speaking of alicorns, i think the flowing manes and height comes from the power they hold. Twilight was given the power of rising the sun and moon each day and night when the princesses retired, idk :p

Why do I take everything he says as canon

I actually think that Flurry Heart is more important to the future. Like something could wipe out Equestria but Flurry could help. And if Star Swirl can sense destiny, Flurry became an alicorn as soon as possible.

Wow. What a great theory. I love it and I believe it.

"Magic can be expressed through height"
Twilight with all the alicorn magic: Bruh

okay I have something: in one of the episodes (I forgot which one) Cadance says "I'm not too good at this flying thing" or something. This means that Cadance was originally an earth pony or a unicorn so that just throws the Cadance was originally a pegasus out the window.

I'm not sure this can be considered a theory or a headcanon but, here we go anyways. I think that Discord was Starswirl's son. Maybe not biologically but adopted or taken as an apprentice. Discord could have been a normal unicorn colt. But then Starswirl could have used a prototype magic on Discord to make him more powerful. Which would end up in Discord being Discord. And maybe the time gap was Discord trying to figure out his new powers. This could also be why Starswirl disapproved of Twilight's spell because it was a "haft baked" idea.

Here's something i'm thinking on WHY Flurry Heart was born an Alicorn, as with the heart of fire, it brought hope and connection to all tribes when one member from each tribe got along, during the episode The Crystaling, the Crystal Heart was shattered at Flurry's scream, but during her crystaling, the Crystal Heart got repaired by her hope and connection of the crystal ponies, both being hearts, both being repaired by magic of all three tribes, i know it was technically everyone in the crystal empire that repaired the crystal heart, but that was because of the hope and liberty they had, hope and connection, they all came together for Flurry Heart's crystaling. I think that's why Flurry was born an Alicorn, but hey, it's a theory.

7th element faith(green). Spike who has a chair at the table in Twilight s Castle. Stygan may have been the 7th but ended up having his faith broken and possibly stunted the trees growth seeking the elements. Celestia may have thought twilight her faithful student was the secret 7th who could awaken the sleeping elements. the 7th fuels the others while twilight s units them.

What if Starswirl was an alicorn but lost his wings when he went to limbo. Why shoud he enchant twi unicorns without enchanting himself?

ARISE FROM YOUR GRAVE AND MAKE US SOME NEW VIDEOS!!!

Wait a dang second… when twilight finished the spell the elements were also used to teleport twilight to the realm so how did candance get to the realm without them,if it actually didn’t need the elements to get there then why were the elements used for twilight?

It must be true there’s no doubt that a great unicorn like star swirl could transform ponies into alicorns

To me ,flowing manes mean how magical a pony is, maybe twilight is a little less magical than the sisters,but with her friends she is so powerful and sometime she also has a flowing manes.

If starswirl invented alicorns then the reason celestia and Luna have never seen an alicorn be born is because cadence is the first alicorn to have a baby ever so this theory actually makes a lot more sense

The age theory makes a lot of sense now that we have seen the future and how twilight became like celestia

Alright, but what if it generated over time? Like as she grew in connections with both the elements and her magic, the thing inside her(maybe even the enchantment beginning to take hold of her) eventually manifested, or maybe the change can only occur in the realm, as a safe place to change and get used to your new abilities and powers

Now I remember that one time when in 2nd grade someone was doing a survey of what pony is the most powerful and everyone chose unicorns but I was the only one who picked alicorn 😳

The tribe leader offspring thing is we’re actually relatives and all their jeans combined to make flurry heart because that would explain why she was there and then our corn and noodles explain why she became an à la corn because Alcorn artificially and genetic levels mixed plus the genes of all three of them would definitely mean Fluhart becoming a Alcorn

I was watching this video and when Sawtooth was talking about FlurryHeart I was thinking how FlurryHeart could've been made into a Alicorn without triggering Starswirl's Alicorn Turning Enchantment. Heres my theory on how FlurrtHeart was born into a alicorn and also about starswirl and his enchantment:

So what we know Starswirl made an enchantment to turn normal ponies into Alicorns due to him knowing he wouldn't be around to turn then in person. But if he putted a age spell onto himself why not a immortality spell aswell? I don't think Starswirl knew that he wasn't going to be in the furture to continue turning normal ponies into alicorns. I believe he made the enchantment before Stitchgien (im sorry if i spelled his name wrong) got possesed by The Pony Of Shadows.

Now he might of thought he will eventually die due to him being old or got into a accident that would cause him to die before he went into limbo but maybe he used an immortality spell on himself incase that happened because he would want to continue researching on combing the power of the 3 tribes (Unicorn, Pegasus, and earth ponies) so he gave himself immortality and did the same to Celestia and Luna and also did the same in the enchantment. Now as for why he would make the enchantment he could have done it because he was thinking about any dangerous threat that might come that would be more powerful than him and the other pillars and that that dangerous threat would be able to maybe turn them all to stone or something more permanent. And so a threat did come Stitchgien got possesed by the pony of shadows and the pillars had to send it into limbo causing themselves going into limbo aswell.

Now going back to FlurryHeart, FlurryHeart was born a alicorn not transformed by Starswirls enchantment. So lets have a look at Cadence and Shining Amours character designs. Shining Amour is a unicorn and Cadence is a Alicorn. I think thats what happens when a Alicorn and a normal pony have a foal. Think about it, normal ponies that end up having foals get a foal with one of the 3 tribes species being apart of them.

EXAMPLE: A unicorn and lets choose a earth pony the chances of them being a unicorn or a earth pony is lets say 50/50 that foal become a unicorn or a earth pony but that depends on how the Genes/genetics goes. Now another example a earth pony and a pegasus their foal will either end up as a pegasus or a earth pony depending on how the genes/genetics end up. It doesn't matter what type of pony that is from the 3 tribes that has a foal the genes is the thing that will choose what the foal will be. Now as for cadence and shining amour, shining amour is a unicorn so he would be a 50% chance of flurryheart to be a unicorn BUT cadence is a alicorn I believe that if a alicorn and a normal pony (unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony) the alicorn gives a higher chance of the foal being a alicorn! And say if a alicorn and another alicorn has a foal both alicorns have a equal chance for the foal to be a alicorn. So since cadence is a alicorn, alicorns must give a higher chance for the foal to be a alicorn! Ands thats why she didnt need to trigger Stars Swirls spell!

So theres my theory about how FlurryHeart! And a theory about Stars Swirl I have no idea why i mentioned Stars Swirl i just thought of Stars Swirl casting a immortality spell on himself while I was writing the theory of FlurryHeart in this comment. I'm personally proud of this theory I thought of! And SawTooth Ihope you see this comment and read it! You are my favourite MLP Theorist! :)
Have a Good Day/Night everyone!

When I was little, I thought the Alicorn dimension was an empty part of the dream realm that Luna lended to her sis or just let her keep because it was unnecessary
“Aboth candance baby”

Sawtooth waves: They all became an alicorn
Flurry Heart : Hem Hem

So could Tirek be considered an allicorn since he wielded magic from earth, Pegasus, and unicorns?

Was Cadance pregnant (but not showing -- say 3 weeks pregnant) when she made the love magic with Shining Armor expelling the changelings from Canterlot, and then also when she activated the Crystal Heart to expel Sombra? Could those events have been what made Flurry Heart an Alicorn?

the pillars actually fit really well with your theory of yin and yang

Good points, But I don't think you need to reinvent the wheel here. The "Journal of the Two Sisters" ties together the founding of Equestria, Starswirl, and the sisters. It says that Starswirl approached the sisters, who were from a different land. As far as I know, there's been nothing since then to contradict that origin story for Celestia and Luna. If I recall, that origin story is the same one that Faust had in the beginning (the sisters coming from a different place). Even though the show has not addressed this particular part of the history/lore, I think the concept that Starswirl approached Alicorn Celestia and Luna, who were foreigners, to rule Equestria, is and always was the show's storybible backstory (even if other parts of the "Journal" book have been contradicted--have they?).


I think you can give your theories an outside "boost" by considering a wider range of sources, even if they are partially retconned.

I think the flowing Mane is just associated with power, as when Luna transformed back from nightmare Moon she had her old Mane, most likely because at the time she was weakened.

Wait, does that mean Clover the Clever created Alicorns? Sure, Starswirl came up with the spell, but if Clover gave him the idea, wouldn’t she be the one who created it? Sorry, that might not make much sense, but I tend to think of what TRIGGERS the first seed and not the first seed it’s self.

Actually read the journal of the two sisters it gives a lot of information
They were alicorns before they started raising the sun and moon and even before they became princess they were alicorns your not gonna see this but I might as well say it :)

Also, alicorns are the highest levelled unicorns and can only be earned by doing a great deed.

Also just a little thing to point out, not that this still applies, in Magical Duel between Trixie and Twilight, Trixie used an age spell and Twilight said something like “Age spells are for high level unicorns.” And if Star Swirl was really great with magic, he possibly could’ve put an age spell on Celestia and Luna, and could’ve turn them into alicorns, but im not sure if any of this applies

I have an answer for flowly mane sisters.When I was watching a ask pony episode,Celestia answered,”Even though alicorns are imortal,they STILL age.So we change to these flowly manes so we don’t look so old.”

Cadence: "Yeah, she was born an alicorn."

Starswirl: Visible confusion

One of my ocs looks like an alicorn- has a horn and wings, but she's really a winged unicorn. Her ancestry is 50% pegasi and 50% unicorns and after a bit, genetics were bound to produce her. Following my hc, since she doesn't have earth pony in her, she's a pretty weak flyer and can't do magic well (because earth pony strength makes alicorns powerful enough to perform both flying and performing spells.

Her appearance- she has regular pegasi wings (slightly smaller) and a regular sized horn.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

5:01 I thought that was called a unicorn but ok-

I would like to point out something. I am very sure that there is a spell called the immortality spell. I think Luna and Celestia BOTH had done the spell and that is how I think they are immortal-

None of the princesses had kids except cadence so maybe that’s why flurry is an alicorn.

Well honestly, it might be that since kadince has a deep connection with the crystal heart, that it's so impeded her offspring has some kind of connection to it as well??

About the alicorns growth, ive seen many times in the episodes where twilight sparkle is a bit taller than her friends and i think princess candence has the same thing, maybe they are not fully tall or dont have wavy hair because they are not old enough like princess celestia and luna. I mean they have lived for so long and twilight with candance are newer princesses, so maybe that can do something with this theory

I think star swirl enchantment can see ponies future, so it probably showed flurry hearts future like saving the world, creating a new magic, or even being more powerful than the main six so that’s why I think flurry heart is a alicorn at birth

I know I might me Interpreting this completely wrong
But if growing is just a way magic can be expressed than unicorn
twilight should be at least cadences night because according to spike she knew about 25 types of magic

I remember watching you so many years ago! I loved this great theory!

If twilight is the magic, then finishing a difficult spell would have triggered the spell.

Then if cadence is the one with the heart, then the new spell was caused by some whatever backstory she had and the newly formed love spell she caused which had her become an alicorn.

Flurry heart is just flurry heart who knows abt that baby

Maybe the manes become floaty if they have ALOT of magic because when cozy glow took the two sisters magic there means stop floating soo...i think theur floty means become with a huge amount of magic!

How I’ve outlook it is that magic has a much more important key than we think (to clarify not friendship magic but unicorn magic all though u cant have one without the other) as an example clover the clever produced the fire even though it was made between friendship (and eup) with knowing this it also explains why creating new magic is a cause of becoming an allicorn

Another reason he could've picked them is because they didn't earn their cutie marks yet and had an extreme talent because if you were to turn something into unicorn à la corn or something the cutie mark would have to represent even though twilight sparkle got who's ahead of time that was because of her magic but they are under their cutie marks for what swore stars world did that

The flowing hair also deals with magic levels. In the tierek episodes, when the princesses give twilight their magic, their hair stops flowing and when the mane 6 open the chest and get friendship magic, they all get flowing hair.

Well since we know that the tree or harmony can manifest as Twilight, why could it not manifest as Celestia, and turn it her into an Alicorn.

i think the whole "star swirl been around for longer than 1000 years" implies he solved the age spell before the alicorn spell but at this case your arguing with yourself because you also said he didn't discover the age spell until he was old? that still only gave him like what 90 years. so out the window, that theory goes. also, he had the power to keep every pony alive, why didn't he share that power with his parents? the answer, he couldn't't cuz he had not figured it out yet. very short-sighted of him seeing ponies around him dyeing and not doing anything. smh

I don’t really think that this star swirl theory is true because he was still technically in limbo when twilight became an alicorn

Actually there still could be a way that Star Swirl is discord in some way… if Star swirl cloned himself. Remember the mirror pool? Star swirl could’ve easily found the pool and went in and we would have two of them. When the original Start Swirl was sent to Limbo, the other one could’ve accidentally turned himself into discord and the original would never know. Idk. It’s just an idea I had. It could be wrong but we’ll never know.

I think I have a theory, one of your older videos stated that all four alicorns represent all kinds of love. Maybe another trigger other than create new magic is you have to represent love in some way. Flurry heart could represent children’s love for their parents, and since children love their parents the moment they were born, she is born an Alicorn.




But hey, that’s just a theory, a my little pony theory, and cut!

Do you think that maybe Celestia rediscovered the process of becoming an Alicorn, given that she and Luna were the only two, and used that to push Cadence and Twilight to become Alicorns so she and Luna could move on with life? Why else would Star Swirl's seeing be in the palace if not for Celestia's research purposes?

You think if Cadence is still around in G5, we could get a proper backstory for her?

i have an idea, you might wanna hold onto your hooves though. i think that Princess Celestia was an EARTH PONY before she was transfigured into an alicorn and Luna was origanly a unicorn. just look at Luna's horn and wings, do you not think they look normal but when you look at Celestia she looks kinda fake. i probably sound cray but its mah theory

Hey,what if a pony can live up to a thousand or more years without an age spell,it could be there magic,there magic could be the thing that gives them eternal youth,what if every time they start to get old the magic inside of them triggers their youth causing them to live longer.

Creator of My little pony: Watches video

Creator of my little pony: Dang, this guy is smart

It could be Flurry Heart is the only child born so far of any alicorn (although I do think there would have been other magic created in the THOUSAND YEARS since The pillars were trapped in Limbo), and that every pony born of an alicorn will be an Alicorn

Remember the spirit that trained the friends from different tribes the spirit of the tree of harmony took the shape of twilight maybe it's the same spirit not celestia

Sawtooth the
Royal sisters said “ The birth of an Alcorn is something Aquestria has never seen” but who said that the sisters are even from Aquestria in the first place

I think when twilight was zapped by her friends it acted as a element of all their powers. Unicorn, Pegasus and earth pony. That is what forms the wings, the elements of harmony were just making it a smoother experience. When it pulled out the spark from twilight it was the power of all three aka two she was gave. Also the elements of harmony also had a part because I think an essence of her went into the tree that’s why in the later seasons the tree shows up as her.

In line with your “making new magic grants you alicorn status” hypothesis, maybe Flurry Heart was born with new magic that we don’t know about, yet.

The beauty of fan-canon and personal headcanons...
They can be so very useful in explaining wgat the show itself fails to explain.
In my personal headcanon, Daughter of C'Thulhu... I mean Flurry Heart, is not a true alicorn, but actually just a unicorn/pegasus hybrid. She has traits of both those two tribes, but lacks earth pony magic. Earth pony/pegasus and earth pony/unicorn hybrids happen, though rare, due to a potential genetic disorder that is potentially there, and is universally fatal before birth. But with unicorn/pegasus hybrids, the disorder is virtually 100% guaranteed to occur... except for this one time in the Crystal Empire, where this Spawn of C'Thulhu... I mean cute little foal with both wings and a horn was born. Somehow, a genetic glitch prevented the disorder from happening in her case.

Flurry heart was born an alicorn because from what we "know" or guess is that all alicorns so far have started being a unicorn so they can form that new magic, and with the gen's from shining armour and cadence it would only make sense, here's why. Cadence is a alicorn so some sort of that magic goes into flurry and to make the full puzzle, with the origin of each alicorn from shining armour which is a unicorn. So from that evidence I believe all of the alicorns are natural because just because we choose this is how an alicorn becomes one, it doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't any other way, after all none of all the other alicorns have any children

Hey I have a hypothesis, the episode with the warm New Year's Eve, when he raises the flag with the alicorns, and well the alicorns show are not Celestia and Luna, then .. Maybe it is their parents? Queen Galaxya and king Cosmos?

Welll...
So cadence is a pegusus.
And shining armour is a unicorn.
And flurry heart therefore...might not be a true alicorn and just be a pegacorn who also happens to poses super magic from both cadence and shining armour so she technically can be referred to as an "alicorn".

I will name Celestia's realm place...
THE ALICORN FACTORY!!

This is a such great theory

4:41 im pretty sure its aan age difference. This is because in the finale Twillight is just as big as Celestia and all her friends are old and gray

The flowy mane could just be from genetics. Y'know? Rare genetics.

If this is true you gotta wonder who invented dark magic, and if they became an alicorn.

First Theory video in about a year and as someone who has just about seen all of your videos, this one is one of your best ever!

Ya’ll my inner nerd was jumping for joy when a picture of the Matrix and Leadership flashed on screen 😂

Wait a second. If Starswirl did give the dream realm to luna, doesn't that kinda take out your theory on when Luna started dreamwalking (yk, the video about how Daybreaker would come to pass)? I mean if Starswirl really did teach Luna the dreamwalking, according to yourself, there wouldn't have been a reason for Luna to become jealous since she would've had a close relationship to the citizens right from the start. So, there are two opportunities now: either one of your theories is wrong, or Starswirl only told Luna about the dream realm and she just couldn't figure out how to get there.

If magic makes them grow bigger then why didn’t twilight grow when she had the magic of all 4 alicorn princesses

The reason of wavy hair on the queens
Clearly when you look at Celestia and Luna it's wavy
They're the top priority of equestria before S9
So maybe only top priorities have wavy hair (like Celestia and Luna or the new twilight)

Glad that we got you back before this generation ended.

What happened to the fire of friendship when Gallus puts goo powder onto it? I mean, All we saw was the fire exploding...

Here are 2 things I thought of
1 if you had to create new magic to become an alien it is very possible that Star swirl is an alicorn, perhaps however due to an early incomplete knowledge of how it works his wings don't properly function or maybe hes just afraid of heights.
2 cadence & shining armour clearly had more chemistry then romantic love, perhaps this in affect created new magic that was embodied in flurry heart or perhaps she created the new magic while still unborn from her parents special abilities. What if during the time flurry heart was unborn Cadence suddenly found herself zapped back to that magical celestia place & had an unexplained magical something happen to her but nobody thought a thing about it because she was an alicorn already.

Maybe if celestia had a child or children they’ll become alicorn same goes for Luna as well but will have to see if this theory is true with twilight as well of twilight were to make a child it could turn as a alicorn as well🤷‍♀️

Wait Luna can go into dreams and Celestia can go into that place there’s some sort of connection.

Nice to see you rise from the dead.

what if flurry did something like when kadence saved the empire or when the ponys had to find the clues that probably made flurry made her a alicorn befor she was born or star swirl made flurry a unicor before she was born to show that bad or special is coming to us.

In a clip where twilight was reading Luna or Celestia’s diary you can see they didn’t have wings so yes they did earn their wings

I think your height theory is correct, because in the Friendship is Magic finale, Twilight is tall as Celestia.

This theory just hits spot on in my opinion.

Wow! So much content, effects and creativity, and all excellently done. I can see why it took you several months to produce this video. Great job, Notion.

I know this is old but watching mlp over again you can see twilight slowly becoming taller than all her friends

So. They released an episode that lets us look in the future... twilight had flowy manes which means they arent different twilight and cadence are just younger

Just to say: Cadance was a pegasus, and earn her horn by freeing her village from an evil witch, who wanted all love for herself

5:22 I know you’re trying to be serious but I cant stop laughing—

Yeeeeeeeeees he's baaaaaaaaaaaaack I missed your vids sooo much


Edit: I think I gonna cry tears of joy

Ok, but is nopony going to mention how similar the Heart Flame is to the Crystal Heart? They are both magic born/ powered by the acceptance/love of all three tribes, and they both hold back and protect the wielders from the cold

I think that flurry heart is an alicorn because her birth was a creation of new magic! Although it is extremely variable on what kind it could be

I would say that Star Swirl knew that if the sister ruled than he also knew that they would need to be around for as long as possible

What if star swirl found a way to connect to flurry and he turned her into an alicorn because he sensed something was wrong and he knew that krystaling is strong and with an alicorn it would be stronger but his magic was not strong like it was in equistria sense he was in limbo so he and the others weren't able to escape

im not even PART of the brony fandom anymore but JESUS when i saw this notification i DASHED to watch it lmao

4:16 I dont think its time because in the first episode, we saw Luna change back, and she didn't have a flowing mane

I believe that flurry heart used to be a pony named fire heart and gave the founders strong powers until she died and became flurry heart. That's why she was born an alicorn , because she earn it from her past

Cadence Backstory:
She showed an evil enchantress that that love is better than evil and that broke the evil heart necklace which was green and then she was teleported to the alicorn-room ( I don’t know what it is called) and then she (Cadence) said in her song that celestia gave her a beautiful pair of wings and a pink horn.

So question. Are we gonna ignore the fact one of the old ponies that brought together the pony tribes was named “Private Pansy” ?

I don't think Star Swirl was the one who created alicorns. You bring up good evidence in the video, and it makes sense. But I think something else is at play, not Star Swirl. It doesn't make sense to me that a unicorn, however powerful, could create allicorns. I think the pony themself is more involved in this transformation. Or some magical force like the Tree of Harmony that comes from Star Swirl and the other's magic. My point is I don't think it was Star Swirl singlehandedly.

moral of the story: flurry heart ruins everything. LITERALLY EVERYTHING

"Para mim" Quando um pony tem ou nasce com uma missão ou um propósito para Equestria

Fun fact: Even if it isn't canon, Magpiepony's Princess Trixie Sparkle series can advocate for this theory.(spoilers ahead!)



In Princess Trixie Sparkle, we see that Starswirl was the one who made Astelle an immortal alicorn to carry on his legacy and rule Equestria. After Astelle left, he later did the same for Celestia (Luna was set to be an alicorn anyways). It makes plenty of sense. Not only did Starswirl (most likely) turn Celestia and Luna into alicorns, he made the spell that Twilight finished which was what made her a princess in the first place. Now, while Princess Trixie Sparkle isn't in the show's canon, it is accurate enough that we can use it to prove the theory. Of course, that's just what I think.

Starswirl may still be an alicorn, he wears a cloak on his body right? What if his wings were covered by the cloak?

this theory is kinda confirmed, twily got the flowy mane/tia's body in the finale

so my thinking here is that flurry heart was born from a alicorn so she recieved the same type
and powerful magic from shining armor and alicorn type from cadance

I think Luna and Celestia did something very special exactly like cadence and twilight..we all know twilight finished a spell to become an alicorn...and cadence helped that evil sorceress and also spreads love....so Luna and celestia did sething to earn their wings rather than just controlling the sun and moon.....so and alicorn is the combination of the 3 tribes and also when someone does something uniqe and special....

dreams are like memories from the past: Lona's realm

then Celestia realm is like destiny.

Magic does not affect height as u saw teriek was bigger then twilight when they had a fight and twilight remained in the same height she had and had equal magic compared to teriek's.....

Also in an mlp short Twilight says that flowing manes comes from a spell that only Celestia and Luna know. Maybe they learned it from Mistmane's people or Mistmane herself.

I think you failed to mention how Cadence is the first and only known Alicorn who became pregnant and has a baby. Maybe its also a genetic thing, what Im implying is that could be another way of how Alicorn can be Alicorns.

I have some ideas the marks of the 12 ponys they have something in common Apple has something in common with the shovel shy has something in common with the healing rartiy has something in common with the 🌺 🌄🌌 has something in common with the book pie has something in common with the hope and 🌈 has the last mark of the ponys that put the seed

Fact: they said that alicorns are ponys with magic of all three tribes in fully heart heart fill scrap book alicorns

what if the crystal empire (and its heart) have a unique kind of magic? so instead of flurryheart creating new magic (like twilight) to become an alicorn, she is instead the literal birth of new magic, as if the universe was trying to scream "NOTICE THE MAGIC IN THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE DAMIT!"--- if flurry naturally embodies the existence of a special kind of magic AND has an alicorn mother, then BOOM, we get a once in a life time baby alicorn. Id say she's an unexpected but still related result of starswirls efforts, similar to the tree of harmony.

That would be epic if Hasbro went that way with MLP but unfortunately I don't think they will.

Why did you have to go crazy when you said: StarSwirl the bearded made his 1st appearance in the show!

I think flury has been pre exposed to all three magics and has been around alicorns before birth altering her dna

i think only rulers of equestria get flowing hair cuz we know that twilight got wavy hair after she became the ruler and for mistmane, she isn't a pony im pretty sure i think shes a sorceress

I don't think Flurry heart is a TRUE Alicorn? Well, Her horn is true since Both of her parents started off as a Unicorn. But maybe one of her relatives had real wings and she got there gene. But that's really rare to happen.

Absolutely astounding and splendid Notion i love it.

Wait,
Cadance was a Pegasus before, and shining armor a unicorn
The crystal ponies are all earth ponies
Meaning flurry was exposed to all types of magic as soon as she was born!

GUESS MY THEORY (This is about the flowing manes). Ponies with flowing manes represent power in single ponies. Celestia and Luna both have flowing manes, and they’re the most powerful ponies in Equestria. Twilight gets a flowing mane when she gains the leadership of equestria. Sombra and the pony of shadows are both two very powerful villains, and Mistmane was always a powerful unicorn and a respected leader.

Your right I always knew that earth ponies and unicorns and Pegasus are magical too even earth ponies I knew it the whole time there is no way that celestia turned twilight to in alicorn if celestia did she would had the same story like twilight's earth ponies and Pegasus unicorns

Star Swirl is probably the most fascinating character to me

alright, that was a good vid!! one of the best. I feel like I've wasted my time memorizing the flurry heart script 😂😅😅 but oh well.
I love the ending with wwiyd, and the 2 vid thing at the end :3 great touch.
what I like most about it is how much effort you've put into it!!! <3 great job as always.

this theory actually makes sense. all the loose ends you've ties together (in my opinion) and it all seems to connect very very well.
I still need to watch mlp more and see if I can add any insight.
but all and all, this was amazing.
everything just seems to fit well.

flurryheart is connected to the crystal heart, we know that. so what if instead of inventing new magic, it’s achieving higher magic than normal ponies. if my theory is true, then flurryheart would already have achieved higher magic because she is born connected to the crystal heart.

I have a theory:princess cadence used to be a Crystal Pont and because of her unique genetics the spell got messed up and changed her genetically instead of physically crystal ponies were proven not to have any of the three magic but their own unique one so maybe when the become slick end since it doesn't have THEIR magic in the mix they lose their magic to make place for the new one

Flurry heart was with a full-grown unicorn wings and they were actually unicorns when they were born but they had little wings that's why they didn't know that was possible

My theory :the tree of harmony was created by the pillars right? Well what if the treehouse that was created by the six was another tree of harmony but then became a treehouse? Also the treehouse built by the new six was probably the same story but I’m not a expert theory person

I think I know the reason why Celestia And Luna have flowing mains It's a spell Even rarity in one episode Wanted A flowing main And figured out it was a spell But ray didn't know how to cast the spell So she used spike to Blow a fan on her to make her main flow

wow he was so right about some things

I think that she IS the magic heart! Well that is my theory!

Thank you for explaining this

Also at the end of season 9 at the end twilight was as tall as celestia and had a flowing mane like celestia. They also look the same execpt the colors and the end of twilight's mane is straight not having bumps like the end of celestia's.

She did grow tall and get wavy hair in the last problem when they got old

Well I mean, Princess Cadence did once be a pegasus and became an alicorn and shining armor is a unicorn so maybe it is just genes🤷‍♀️

we just are over here making a bunch of theories going deep in .luren fast:*cries in "I thought i was straight forward"*

When my sister was 4 (2 years ago) she schooled me. I asked her if she likes unicorns, pegisi, or earth ponies more. Her response was, "I like Alicorns."

it is weird that there are only 5 out of the 6 pillars that had a legend of how they became important

It’s kinda true that star swirl made alicorns because in the part Celestia was not using magic

I think Clover the clever became Celestia after what happened in the cave as shown in the hearths warming eave play

ya know maybe flurry is beyond celestia and lunas understanding because they didnt think equestrian genetics were powerful enough to produce something like good old mcflurry heart

Theory: Flowing manes come automatically when you rule over the entirety of Equestria. Think about it. When twilight started to rule, she got the mane. Mistmane has this flowing mane because in campfire legend rarity explains that she was a powerful sorceress, which points that she probably had the magic to do the magic flowing mane.

Looking back to this theory after watching the new generation of mlp. And this makes sense!

Celestia and Luna Didn't even start out with flowing manes! When Luna was reformed you can clearly see she has a normal mane

What if the spell to make alicorns was accidentally done to flury heart when she was born and the powers of alicorns are strong enough 👋🙂👋

YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK ABOUT STAR SWIRL BEING AN ALICORN (HAVING WINGS)

I think the flowing manes are an old timey fashion statement

If you have watch “princess trixie sparkle” series then this just makes sense.

If the next generation watches MLP, I’m not watching with them 😂

"Da birth of an alicorn is something equestria has never seen"
Celestia and Luna were born before equestria

Is it just me or did I just watch a bunch a videos from my childhood and now love it again and now will probably watch it

I have an extension to this theory: (Long one, bear with me) Star Swirl the Bearded not only invented alicorns but he also used an enchanted crown to make them immortal. He tried to do this to a male alicorn first, Abraxius the Bold, (A Horseshoe-In reference), but he abused his power and even had a... uh... thing with a mare named Peaceful Flower (she's Mistmane's mother, her father in the flashback is her stepfather in this case). Star Swirl revoked the enchanted crown for his reckless behavior, but Abraxius got away and flirted and gave the love poison to Princess Platinum (resulting in Blueblood's ancestor). King Bullion and the queen managed to separate the ponies long enough for the posion to wear off, but once again, Abraxius got away, and died of an experiment gone wrong.


When we come to the age of the pillars going around, Star Swirl found Celestia and Luna, young unicorns and the younger sisters of Abraxius (yes, I went with the deleted brother theory from the movie, but since the initial name Cosmos is used for a comic character I had to alter things). Star Swirl takes them under his wing and eventually realized he made the right choice this time, so he turned them to alicorns and gave them the enchanted crown, splitting in two. Fast forward to present day.


When Celestia and Luna were ready to crown Twilight, they combind their crowns to one and gave them to her, thus giving her the lifespan Star Swirl intended all those years ago. That's why her mane and tail are flowing in The Last Problem .

I like your videos and ideas, although the newest video that comes out proves the last one (or even last to last one) wrong. And thats sort of funny.

love your content sawtooth but I have a theory you see I'm surprised no one ever knows this but in the firsts season on episode 2 Luna didn't have flowy hair but then after when she became a princess she got flowy hair and then on se 9 the last problem twilight had flowy hair because she was a princess think about it have we ever seen twilight without being a princess?

What about the fact that in the canterlot wedding episode the flashback of cadence as twilights foalsitter has a young cadence with a horn and wings. Younger than twilight when she ascended

Remember the crystal empire when they first been there when celestia said about her test she said about the next level of her studies and at the end of the episode i saw celestia and luna holding the star swirl book and well i think you understand

What if Flurry Heart is an Alicorn because the magic she 'governs over' is the same as the one that combined all three species together to chase away the windigos and thaw everything and stuff? Think about it-her name. Flurry. Heart. Like the cold that wrought over and then the hearts of all three combining to melt it. Just a theory. xD

So, we know how their hair changed when they were alicorn-ified. But why did Celestia's mane change COLORS?

There's one thing that make's this theory break! Clover the Clever was in a Show not in a Timeline in which Star Swirl Was! 😡😡🤬😡

About the age spell.. I think all types of ponies are immortal. However I think it's only in age so a pony could die over other reasons then old age. Also it might be VERY hard for even STAR SWIRL! Ofc even if he gave the sisters and him immortality this might even be harder than making a new species of pony! also you would think the ponies would still look if they were immortal. I think it affects their looks as much as any other creature. If there are any problems with this theory let me know! :D

am i the only one but i feel like flurry heart is connected to the heart of fire because if you think about it that's when all the different types of pony's united and became friends

I’m so freakin glad you remembered our rebuttal about the whole “the birth of an alicorn” line because during my panel at BronyCon I forgot it entirely.

Also I’m gonna have to sit on this video.... HMMMMM....

Random fact: if your a pegasus or an alicorn, and was wearing cloths under your wings, the wings would ✨ magically ✨ peak out.

Well it’s clear when magic vanishes star swirls magic is built in the artifact

I didn’t even know that starswl had a secret🤔

Luna could have been to that realm because their cutie marks got swapped and celeriac went to the dream world so that means she could have tooled a peek

But why did the elements "lazer" Twilight to send her? couldn't starswirl's ,magic do it on it's own? or were they just spazzing out because starswirl helped make them?????

Whats beyond their understanding is IMO the fact that Flurry was born as an alicorn to Equestrian ponies. Its like if a couple had a baby that was not a human but a gorilla. I guess you would also say its beyond your understanding.

I think flurry heart visited the alicorn realm before being born [aka: the soul} however this wasn't the same realm and celestia wasn't there

What if Clover The Clever was Twilight who went back in time. You know in a loop? Paradox?

I know this is an old video but , I believe float hair is a statement of power

Wellll....




Cadance didn’t actually get wings..




She was a Pegasus and she did some kind of princessesy deed and got a horn

I think after every video of his my brain get's a bit bigger!

Do you have the fact that the only celestial has access to that area is kind of weird that be why Luna felt like she was weak and turn it into nightmare moon

if this theory is true, then Cadence is the first ever Alicorn to give birth. This could well mean that Alicorns give birth to Alicorns

Well the crystal heart was once used for evil and cadence defeated the evil

What if Twilight gives birth to an alicorn due to the same reason Cadence gave birth to Flurry Heart? 🤔😱

Here's the thing that I don't understand. Why didn't star swirl the bearded put wings on himself?
I get it hes already wise enough he doesn't need wings but why didn't he?
If he also extended his time he could have also given himself wing. He could have been an Alichorn himself. Did he just not want that responsibility? Did he not want to be considered royalty or what? I just don't get it. He had the power all this time and he could have easily givin himself wings. He could have been an Alicorn.

I love how you referenced transformers with the matrix of leadership

The pilers and the main 6 have it so different the pilers : strength , hope etc ...... But the main 6 : magic , kindness etc....... maybe the student 6 all so have it different Like : Yoda : careing maybe that's what happened

I know this was a long time ago, but... How could starswirl make the 2 princesses alicorn? Like did he have to take a bit of magic from all 3 tribes by grogars bell or something?

The show even said in a chapter named "Hearth's warming eve"that Equestria was found by Pegasus , unicorn and earth ponies.NOT BY ALICORNs!!! That means Celestia and Luna are not the finders of Equestria and if Celestia and Luna are the finders of Equestria then they were not alicorns

Sawtooth: Discord=Star Swirl
Star Swirl: Ima end the whole entire changlings career

It is sooo cool that twilight became a princess!

Celestia and Luna are not the first ponys that are turned into allicorns by Star Swirl. Astelle is. When the king of the unicorns died, Star Swirl marked her as a queen.

Yes, so the princess of merchandise aka flurry heart made the magic of merchandise

Luna didn’t have flowing hair before, too, if you remember the first episode

I think age and magic causes them to grow? I mean in the last episode Twighlight practicallt grew

“The flowy mains and height difference”
…Aaaaannnddd then we have future twilight

Wow, loved hearing your theories aboth candance babby.

well twilight at the end of the series grew tall and had flowing hair

The alicorn guess where you grow taller is true on the last episode 9 twilight is much taller

That makes sense since i have seen some alicorns in the show that shouldn't be there but are

Question, we all know that Star swirl is able to use magic so why couldn’t he be an alicorn?(idk if it’s spelled it right) like he can be able to hide his wings from others. Idk if it’s something to think about or na but ya

Invader Zim and MLP have one thing incomon:
"Tallness is power"

To be honest i realy dont like starswirl. But it would have been interesting if they had shown him as celestia and lunas brother. Prince of stars. Princess of sun. Princess of moon.

First of all OMG IT IS SO GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK AHHHHHH Second, I love the theory but I'm a bit hesitant to let go of the idea, despite what was said in video and in canon, that Luna and Celestia weren't born alicorns. XD Either way, I feel like your theory does tie it all up pretty nicely though.

Me: It's 3:00, time to watch MLP theories!
My neighbors, renovating their ENTIRE house: Hahahahaha, no.

Me: waits till 7:31 till starswirl is mentioned again 🤣

I think they got their cutie marks from raising the sun in the moon but that’s what I think they also got their alicorn magic no one‘s talking about the cutie marks but what if star swirl is one of twilights decents?

Don’t forget that twilight has wavy hair when she is shown in the last episode

Yes
I needed to see an alicorn granny smith in my life

Celestia is the princess of the Sun, Luna is the princess of the Moon, Twilight is the princess of friendship, and Cadence is the princess of love, Sun and Moon are opposites, however, you must have a strong friendship with someone to form the feeling of love to them, Twilight will soon become just like Cadence, but with her own magic, BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY, A FILM THEORY.

I think I laughed at “aboth candance babby” way too hard

This is going to ⭐️swirl around my head.😉

i can tell you unfourtnatly you are wrong on how luna and celestia became alicorns i am very sure that both celestia and luna became alicorns when they learned that they had the ability to raise the sun and moon and i know this because rarity in the episode cystaling , said quote unquote " but i thought alicorn wings had to be earned by doing some great princess worthy deed aka doing somthing huge or finishing somthing for somone huge, like rasing the sun and moon.

On your comments on Starswirl‘s age and his use of time magic for his longevity, it is stated in “The Journal of the Two Sisters” that this is the case.
On page 79-80 of the journal it talks of him and the two princesses working on a time travel spell. In a test of such spell it also became an age travel spell. To quote the book:

“It wasn’t just a time travel spell. It was also an age travel spell. Luna levitated a mirror up to Star Swirl, showing him that he was now significantly younger and only had a short brown beard upon his chin!”

i think at one point pinkie pie probably found a way to turn herself into an alicorn and chose not to but did it for like April fools or something. its just a pinkie pie type of thing to do.

Sawtooth waves: star swirl isn’t an alicorn... OR IS HE
Me: THAT WAS SO DRAMATIC I EVEN GOT SCARED

Wow Twilight is obsessed with Star Swirl…

I feel like star swirl is evil

When Sawtooth Waves mentions how an Alicorn is basically all three of the clans being earth pony unicorn and Pegasus in one and with Cadence has magic being love, wouldn't that get you flurry heart all three types of ponies in one Bound by love or friendship, that would definitely get you flurry heart right?

Watching this after MLP ended when Twilight has flowy hair and is super tall.

"Is that the the tree of... NO WAY?!"
The tree of no way

btw in the end of mlp twilight gets taller and her mane is flowing so perhaps that means the Alicorn just has to grow to get in the way celestia

What if ,when all the tribes became friends and made the friendship fire they made alicorns. Because the princesses did not remember Clover The Clever. So when Celestia and Luna were born the fire of friendship sow the power that they had and made them alicorns.

O my god I can’t believe it






YOU’VE FINALLY UPLOADED ANOTHER THEORY IS BEEN YEARS DUDE

How am I just now realizing that twilight's cutie mark actully has something to do with the elements the five white stars being her five friends and the pink star being herself.

How do you find the time and energy to do that to be honest all I know about Alicorns that they have a wing and they have a horn😢

you: celestia and luna are different because of the flowing mains
me: in the last ep ever twilight has the flowing main

i swear, hes matpat as a brony- and i love it 😃

a retaliation theory: if the sisters are born in an alicorn land, so their parents must be alicorns. luna's statement could mean that she doesn't understand why flurry heart was born alicorn because flurry did not come from parents who are both alicorns.

The wave mane happens when you’re older

How would star swirl give him self an age spell before equestria was even found? That's a hole.

I thought that luna and celesta ment that they thought that artificial alicorns wouldent have enough magic to give birth to a alicorn

How do we know Candace is the 3rd Allicorn? We can now see that Celestia and Luna do infact age differently ( head Canon for why. > i think this was part of Celestias spell to banished nightmare moon, after all, 1000 years is too long to banish a normal aging Pony, she could have frozen her's and Luna's age until the thousand years were over and then resumed the aging process, after all Luna doesn't look nearly as old as her sister, so why would they both retire if they have years left to go? Continuing cadence theory >) who's to say there haven't been normal aging Allicorns who've lived and died in the past, which seems to be suggested by the princess in the book in the hearts and hoofs day episode, also by the fact that pony's becoming Allicorns isn't a foreign idea in Equestria.

If Star Swirl did invent Alicorns,
I still dont get how rude he was when he first met Twilight

If this is the answer, I am stupid

He was mad that twilight set free Stigian

Random unicorn: Teleported to the other dimension
Sun Horse: ‘yo want a pair of wings?’

what I don’t get it; celestia has a nephew (prince blue blood) so does that mean celestia and Luna have another sibling? Why havent they been mentioned?

this aged well

When twilight became the ruler of equestria, her mane was also flowing

Wait what if Starswirl IS an alicorn, but just hides or casts a spell on his wings??????

GAWSP! YOU REFERENCED TRANSFORMERS WITHIN MLP, I AM SO HAPPY!! Also, flawless video as ever. 😁

Me from the future:We got the evidence in the finale of the show

I think being a allcorn has infinite life

Starswirl meant by more than a thousand years was all the time they where in limbo in real time not a blink of an eye...

Better idea: When Clover talked about the power that could be gained from the combination of traits, Starswirl decided that maybe it could be used to move the sun and moon without exhausting everypony who tried. He gave Celestia and Luna the power to do it--they didn't do it on their own first. That would be ridiculous.

star swirl is apart of this you see.. a "swirl" heart and the book is star swirl's so it makes seeds😝

What if mistmane is different in a way bcuz has anyone else noticed that horns are curved where she is from? Even tho the other unicorns where she used to live no NOT have flowy manes she might also have a different kind of ✨ MAGIC ✨

Celestia has a big sister who was the first leader stars were the bearded to her for the crown

I think that the realm that celestia was put in to i think its called the "realm of memorys" its because in the song "lalluby for a princess" she was in the same realm and the photo came out of the the realm and the photo where from the past so the name is "realm of memorys" if this theory of mine is helpful and connected to your subject:toSawtooht Waves Pls read

Teacher: Why or why not do you think this is true?
Me: Ah frick.

The Brony Notion : Why or why not do you think this is true?
Me: Okay so firstly there’s-

In the show he was a bit of a jerk to twilight and starlight. Why? 🤔

so the thing about Celestia and Luna coming from a normal family. I always thought that king cosmo + queen Galaxia = Celestia and luna then by king cosmo or queen Galaxia they were turned into allicorns

One problem with your theory who taught starswirl because that knowledge doesn't come from nowhere

It IS beyond their understanding, as they possess much more magic than equestrian ponies, like twilight and cadence.

welcome back, Notion! I miss your pony theories!

your theory is really good and fitting
then flurry ruined it

can u make vids about the legendary magical artifacts? just like the amulet of aurora and etc

Truth about Star swirl: he doesn’t actually swirl

maybe its genetic but msyne flurry heart created new type of magic while being born? like idk o_o

Yeah, this makes way too much sense. I may even make it my new headcanon. Oh, and welcome back, Notion! Long time no see.

Me: Invents plague magic
Becomes princess of the plague

what happened to celesta and luna in gen 5? that's what i want to know

I think that in fluryhearts past life she was a alicorn and when she died she was also reborn as an alicorn.

This is a fun theory but I don’t think starswirl was really involved, at least not like this.

Star Swirl gave them the wings after their training else raising the Sun and Moon

Is no one going to point out that the floating mane is caused by magic...?

and remember when tirek took all the magic giving the magic to twi so then there mane just went away

I searched that "immortal alicorn" on Google and it said none alicorn is immortal but some of them just live longer (like more than 1000 YEARS)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
FLURRY HEART’S NAME!!!
The fiery heart of love or something. It was a HEART shaped fire, made during a violent FLURRY!!!

I really think starswirl was really arrogant.
He really believed stingy (the pony of shadows) was trying to steal the pillars powers
And even after being brought back by twilight and the mane 6
He was selfish and arrogant and chose not to listen to others
Jumping to conclusions without listening
Starlight who knew better believed stingy could be redeemed
While starswirl just thought he was evil through and through
The only reason stingy became the pony of shadows is because starswirl selfishly and arrogantly casted out stingy without listening to reason
Starswirl created the pony of shadows

Maybe Flurry Heart is the fisrt known born alicorn bc none of the other alicorns has had kids- like what if a alicorn gives birth to a alicorn? And since Celestia and Luna don't have kids it would be obvious why they've never seen a born alicorn... IDK ITS JUST WHAT I THINK

Did cadence get a horn and already had wings?

completely of the subject but celestia has a Dimond shaped jewel on jewel on her crown and raritys element is also purple and Dimond shaped soooooo

Brony Notion: IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A CANNON CADENCE BACKSTORY
Me: YES!!! WHERE IS HER BACKSTORY!

If starswirl came back that means everyone else is still alive

as im watching this i look at the reccomended vids and it says flurry heart is not a real alicorn but in this vid you say she’s the only real one

Mist mane is a piller one of the strongest beings in the MLP universe and she is 1 of the the six who planted the seed in the first place

I think star swirl was the first mane6 leader of friendship !

Thumbnail: Star Swirl’s secret...

Me: He’s Dumbledore!

I thought it was that cadence is an alicorn so when she gave birth she gave birth to a alicorn she got married to shining armor she was also a was in cadence's stomach she was in contact with the whole citizens of esqustria

If the Crystal ponies knew the baby was going to be born they must of shared there magic creating the baby to be a alicorn at birth.

Like you said in your theory every alicorn needs to create new magic what if they are earth ponies and pegasi

Imagine if derby became an allicorn!

Wait I have a question. Why only females became alicorns in equestria? ;-;

Shahtoot I want to tell you something but I hope you remember the video when you set the October issue accounts and the lawn artificial once I think actual Twilight is not about official anaconda because I asked in the end of the series main also followed like the sisters STR and princess Luna like that only one part is little that is disprove in the artificial trees this proven because of me

Time to find how to get all the power I need

I believe Celestia was born from the sun and luna from moon because luna and Celestia's colors look similar to moon and sun

Well, maybe because of the crystal heart thingy flurry heart became an alicorn.

Edit: Guys I wrote this over a year ago, this can't still be the longest comment LOL

I think Flurry is actually a genetic thing and here's why: There is literally no way for a pony to have been born as an alicorn before because no alicorn has had a child before. Cadence was the first princess to have an actual child. This is super important because this shows that if maybe Celestia, Luna, or Twilight has had a child, there is a chance it could be an Alicorn. But, I also think it is tied to Cadence and Shining Armors' connection. When the changlings attacked Canterlot, her and shining armor had a moment where their connection made a similar heart as to the one when Equestria was founded. This can hint to the eventual creation of Flurry since, even though shining armor is a unicorn, the earth pony and pegasus genes that cadence possessed could have contributed to this. This may also explain by Flurrys magic is so strong! Cadence, with her OWN unicorn magic, along with shining armors magic, plus the earth pony and pegasi magic could have easily contributed to how strong she is as a baby since her magic could break through solid crystal! Even Twilight wasn't this powerful until later in the series! This shows that Flurry may be a product of genetics, but also from Cadences own magic as well. Love. This would explain a lot since Friendship was the reason why Equestria was able to warm itself, and love doesn't fall far from Friendship, I think Flurry is a lot bigger than most people think. She may even grow more powerful than Celestia as a full grown pony! My question is: Does Flurry have the same lifespan as Celestia? I would assume so since Cadence most likely does too but this is never revealed! Flurrys purpose is never revealed, either, which brings us to the question: What would her contribution be to Equestria? Would she even play a role? If not, how will she live her life? With no particular purpose in sight, she could easily run the course of nightmare moon since both daybreaker and nightmare moon had that similar trigger in common! There are so many questions about Flurrys future. I wish there was more that could be said about her. (PS. Her name may be a hint in itself!)

It’s because Mabey flurry heart was destined to be a alicorn cause the crystal heart is love and light love is cadance and shining armour but There has to be a alicorn of love and light and we already have one for love witch is cadance so the needed one for light right away this also go’s with some of you theory’s to love you vids

Wait doesn't that mean an earth pony can become an Alicorn too?

i think the floating hair comes from the crown

Alicorn theory/thought experiment - on the basis that you have to unlock a new kind of magic or at least to hit alicorn status - since Cadence was a Pegasus, it’s not tied to direct magic having to be used by a tactian such like unicorns - but rather on the basis of both their inherent pony type and them having to unlock said magic through great feats calling upon a deep inner magic. If she fought a witch, out of unconditional love and sheer will - might and comrodery which is inherent to the military might of the Pegasi. On that basis an earth pony who’s a farmer or geologist (Princess Maude..?) seems to most likely be the ultimate ones to unlock that ability calling upon the power of the earth - OMG ENVIROMENTAL ACTIVIST EARTH PONY BATTLES CLIMATE CHANGE/THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FOREST/DISRESPECT FOR THE EARTH THUS SUMMONING UPON THE POWER OF NATURE! .... at least that’s my thought on this notion - any thoughts? Disagreements? Additions?

Here’s a theory I have about flurry heart:
I think the reason she’s an alicorn is cause cadence was a Pegasus before she became an alicorn and she got married to shining armour who’s a unicorn so the two traits must have combined somehow

I love this theory but with gen 5 more being out this doesn't make sence anymore

I think twilight's unicorn spirit came out of and serond her and spirit was growing her spirit split into two and her wings cam and she has a morale spirit now this is my theory

Flurry Heart was the only born allicorn, and Cadence is the only one who married.

since we know that Cadance is Pegasus-turned-Alicorn and Shining Armor is an Unicorn, which means Flurry heart's make a perfectly sense being a born Alicorn

Twilight got her wings by the spirit of hormany
Plu who freed nightmare moon is the one who wrote the book

wasn't cadence a Pegasus and her husband was a unicorn so thats the only reason how she could been born as a allicorn

If you want to turn to be a alicorn you have to have love

I don't know if I was spektaiting good but the royal sisters have the same big/medium wings but on the other hoof cadence and twighlight dont have big wings... :/
