    You're forgetting an important piece of evidence from the first episode. During the provolone, it is said that Celestia and Luna were "unicorn sisters". While you might be able to chalk that up to the fact that the term "Alicorn" was created by the fandom and didn't exist during the first episode, merchandise released afterwards still refers to them as unicorns when repeating the prologue(ie the phone app)

    • @DragonTrainer201
      @DragonTrainer201  8 лет назад +52

      Well... I wouldn't put much stock into merchandise info (no pun intended), but I did go back to re-watch the prologue. It said that the two sisters "used their unicorn magic", which is something alicorns would have. The only other statement that may suggest they were born as unicorns was when Luna was referred to as "the younger unicorn", but that only provides evidence of Luna being born as a unicorn and we've seen before with the Cake Twins that siblings can be of different races. The only other argument I have is... the book Twilight Sparkle was reading wasn't all that accurate. I mean, if the Season 4 premiere is to be believed, the book got Celestia's hair colour wrong. :p

      I agree with the brony notion (go check him out) in that the Alicorns are a race, but their children are born as the other races at random, getting their wings, horn or both at the same time as their cutie marks or a bit earlier.

    I think you're forgetting one crucial fact. you can't know about something that happened when you were a baby.
    Of course Celestia and Luna would have no idea how an alicorn baby is because there hasn't been one since their own births. and they're definitely not going to remember their toddler years

      @Bownimations01 7 лет назад +12

      Guardian Eris Maybe ^^' But maybe not. It could have been the norm. For all we know, Celestia and Luna aren't even from Equestria. What if, where they were born, being an Alicorn was nothing strange? Then, it wouldn't come up. Even if they had been born in Equestria to normal ponies, it may not have come up. At a certain point, they probably stopped seeing the sisters as Alicorns and would most likely spend their time with the sisters as natural foals. It happens. Like adaption and such. People get so used to seeing the kid around they don't tell them they adopted them.

    Another thing that supports Luna being an earth pony is the fact that she has a marking around her cutie mark, from what we have seen only earth ponies have markings/birth marks on their bodies. For example Pip and Trouble shoes (around his mouth and nose). I know this is a weak idea but i have literally not seen any unicorns and pegasi with them.

    My bet is that neither Luna or Celestia were ever anything beside alicorns... however, they had never been born either! Someone (like Starswirl) or something (like the Tree of Harmony) could have created them this way, alicorns yet not *born* alicorns. It would explain their immortality, which is something that has zero explanation thus far in the show...

      @EvilPaladin11 7 лет назад +13

      BlueTeller In the Two Sisters Journal, Celestia and Luna were tracked down by the six founders (the six in the first Hearths Warming episode), to have the two of them lead since they were basically a mix of the three tribes. The two of them were apparently close to or fully adults without cutie marks when that happens.
      The event that lead to the two of them getting their marks, was an exhausted (and suddenly grey haired) Starswirl explaining that the unicorns fucked up raising the sun that morning, and so the two of them found their marks while rectifying the situation.
      The wiki that I read that from didn't say anything about their births or parents, but the book is supposed to be their journal from the beginnings of Equestria. It makes sense for them to NOT recap their own life from kindergarten age all the way to them starting the journal. The journal is supposed to be for themselves after all.
      Also, it kinda helps the writing team avoid early life details for the two of them, since the chance is too great that they'll fuck it up somehow, and the past of the sisters becomes the new midichlorians(sp?) of the overall nerd culture.
      Also, it maintains SOME mystery around the two sisters.
      Cadence starting as a Pegasus, is probably there to set a precedence for ascension to alicorn, explain why Cadence was nowhere to be found with early Equestria conflict, why Cadence was a teenager when Twilight Sparkle was a filly, and to say "Cadence and Shining Armor are about the same age. Cadence isn't cradle robbing with a vengeance, and Shining isn't married to someone that's significantly older than his grandparents".

    • @TheRezro
      @TheRezro 7 лет назад +1

      Shame that it isn't exactly a canon anymore, despite that it was written by one of show designers (also it is quite old). Proves? In Tirek episode Celestia say that Tirek doesn't know about forth alicorn princess. But how he know about third one? Tirek was imprisoned thousand year ago so it mean that Cadence was there (also her real name is Mi Amora Cadenza.. so she is princes Amore). In fact possible explanation of her young age is simple.. she was still young back then (as she is clearly based on G3 Rarity) and turned in stone by Sombra (who was a legal ruler so stepfather?), but her seal break when all other start collapse what lead to most events in the show (worth to point out that all those seals were put by elements but start collapse due the seeds of chaos, so it suggest that Sombra also did use that power.. whet isn't so weird if you look on "alicorn powers" when Twilight made time sight potion..). After that Cadence was put in they distant family for safe-keep.
      I also add that interpretation form this book contradict several solid theories, so it is new midichlorians.. sort off. Most legends in the show are deliberately unreliable and it is sort of a legend. Comics on the other hand may exist somewhere in the MLP multiverse.

    I think Celestia was born a unicorn, if not an alicorn. Just think about it, she seems to know all of these spells and seems to have supreme knowledge of magic. I mean sure she has been an alicorn princess for more than a thousand years, but so has Luna. Luna doesn't show that same knowledge as Celestia. And alicorns are a combination of earth pony, unicorn, and pegasi so Celestia is probably a part of an earth pony that has visions, not born an earth pony. Luna on the other hoof I think was born an earth pony. She always seems to be interested in what ponies are doing in smaller towns like Ponyville which were created by earth pony settlers. Why, because she was an earth pony, and she wants to help her own kind and remember what it was like before she had all of her responsibilties as princess of Equestria. Just a theory, but I think it might be possible.

(Proven by how Granny smith was alive when Ponyville was made.) So Celestia would be really busy, especially if she was running her magic school then.

    You can be an alicorn without being a princess. being an alicorn means you have extremely powerful magic. not every alicorn has to be a prinsses. there is a video somewhere or part of an episode or equestrian girls idk where sunset shimmer basic ly becomes an alicorn because she had a horn but she also had phoenix wings. a lot of people were saying she was a princess because she was an alicorn. but she still wasnt, she was just an alicorn. but a human alicorn witch don't make sense because when rarity an twilight ponied up they didn't have horns. wait, does this shape look like sunset to you? ^

      I think lauren's words needs to be mentioned here. Keep in mind the crystalling was made years after she said that so that might have been forgotten or changed over time along with the fact that lauren wasn't the one who wrote the that episode. so the point is anyone can change the facts based on how they can make the story work. if the princesses were born alicorns then they would know how to handle flurry heart and that means the crystal heart wouldn't have been shattered, the barrier between the cold snow and the crystal empire wouldn't have been broken and they wouldn't have needed sunburst because the crystal heart never needed fixing, somewhere in the story at least 2 things could've happened, 1 lauren changed her mind to fit the story or 2 the writer for that episode forgot about that informatin.

Whatever she says doesn't mean it's true because the people who are in charge of production can change anything they want to when they want to do so. With her no longer helping to write, and Hasbro carefully watching and correcting whatever is created, things can change ^^' after all, Lauren also stated that Luna and Celestia were to be the only princesses. And lo and behold we get Twilight, Cadence, and now Flurry Heart. So yeah, unfortunately her word doesn't really matter anymore because Hasbro is a toy business and will make decisions geared towards the toy business.

  • @howardkoslov1702
    @howardkoslov1702 7 лет назад +2

    If Celestia an Luna weren't born to Alicorn parents, it would explain why they aren't still around. I believe that Celestia and Luna were born of two powerful unicorns who used all of their magic to turn them into Alicorns in order to end the period of anarchy and bitterness that equestrian was in. It's also possible that Those two forementioned unicorns discovered the means of which to turn one into an alicorn, like the magic Celestia used on Twilight. From birth, after being turned into alicorns, the parents probably took the foals around with them, but since alicorn aging is different than normal, the parents probably died while they were toddlers, before they could remember anything.

    Celestia and Luna were born alicorns! In the 2 sisters book. It said when they were really really young they would use there magic to make crowns out of gems and then fly up to a mountain and play princess with animals as there subjects! And they said that it is beyond there understanding because maybe there mentors didn't tell them about alicorn because they were young and there mentor didn't wanna spoil there young minds. So yeh I'm 99.99 present sure that they were born alicorns.

      Plus, when Celestia said it was something Equestria had never seen, there was a emphasis on Equestria. So this means at least no pony was born an alicorn after Equestria was formed. And we know of no other alicorns, so maybe they are two of the only ones of their kind.

    • @TheRezro

      This book is non canon. End of the debate.
      Though if you ask my about my overly complex crazy nerd theories.. they are in fact from future and it is least insane part of this theory.
      - Celestia is no one else then future Starlight Glimmer (G1 Star Gleamer
      ) as both were based on G1 Twilight and they even joke about that in the show.. twice (Celestia on "Italian Majesty" variant owned by Lauren). Plus both have Asperger. Possible names she also could use are also Mistmane (G1 Princess Misty), Star Cather (who is proto-alicorn) and Sky Wishes (G1 princess Skylark). Plus.. did no one notice that Starlight has exact same colors and heir as Flurry Heart? My guess is that she was turn into unicorn and send to the past, so she would learn friendship lesson before she turn in Daybreaker.
      - Luna is no one else then Trixie (G2 Princess Trixiebelle), her design name was also Serena (G1 Princess Serena). She was based on G1 Ember, who was earth pony sister of G1 Twilight, what they clearly retcon though she could be Mage Meadowbrook and hide fact that she is unicorn for some reason.
      - Cadence is no one else then Chrysalis (yup.. they even have similar accent). Mean 6 episode drop also huge clue that she could be Sombra (specifically his golem) wife as Empress (of curved horn unicorns.. who aren't obvious changelings) Sable Spirit. They also weirdly hold Chrysalis cleansing or revealing Cadence shadow name. She was clearly based on G3 Rarity. In comic she was also known as princess Amore. Plus she clearly is also G2 Dazzleglow.
      - Twilight Sparkle was based on G3 Twilight Twinkle (though final name come from G1 Princess Sparkle), but there are also huge similarities between her and G3 Princess Wisteria (Spike literally wait thousandth years for a princes there) and G1 Lickety Split (also fallowed by Spike). Plus considering that she inherited control over Rainbow of Darkness she probably is related to Scorpan aka Sombra aka Gregor aka Shadow.. yes, he use numerous names. Though he still technically is a head of Royal Family as he adopt other princess into it (as alicorns don't get titles from nowhere). And well.. her parents act weirdly when Minotaur mention her being born "under the tree". More find..
      - Starswirl the Bearded who is not a part of royal family despite being adopted brother of Starlight as Sunburst (seriously they parents clearly were together in the past). Not only botch are bearded wizards obsessed over books but with mediocre magical power, but Sunburst is only pony about who Starswirld show any care (usually he don't even referee to them by names). Still his name is based on G1 Princess Starburst, G1 Princess Sunbeam, and Princess Silver Swirl (seriously, no one did noticed that they names clearly reference G1/G2 Princess Ponies?). Plus there is enough proves to find out that Starswirl is not only Sunburst but also Discord when he try (based on G1 Mr. Moohick) including fact that Starswirl befriended originally Scorpan (who is prince of north in G1), but ponies get Scorpan pendent (what "coincidentally is also key to elements") from Moohick in G1 and in G4 Discord. Anyway comic mention Starswir being jealous of alicorns, and speal from Magical Mystery Cure was clearly designed to forcibly align someone with the elements.. but in his case it fail as he didn't have a friends, what is also the reason why she didn't become evil despite being as Starswirl affected by darkness, what affect emotions though. For same reason only main 6 can use elements now as tree is possessed by Lord of Midnight Empire (who was also Spike original boss).
      In end there is in fact 5-7 alicorns depending on counting (plus Sunset).

  • @moodlemcdoodle5746
    @moodlemcdoodle5746 6 лет назад +3

    Here's my theory.
    The Alicorn tribe mentioned in the journal (located in Canterlot, being the origin place of the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE) didn't have children to make more Alicorns, what they did do was select worthy foals from other tribes and trained them to become Alicorns. This explains Celestia and Luna not being born Alicorns (you could argue this but every argument I've seen has been really flimsy and doesn't make sense in the context.) but still having an Alicorn tribe and have them become Alicorns before getting their cutie marks, AND them not knowing Alicorns could be born.

Also, they would've had to have said something about becoming alicorns in the book, besides, even if they DID start out as earth ponies, someone would've had to turn them into Alicorns. No, star swirled the bearded couldn't have done so, because A. He may not have enough magic, and B. Celestia and Luna didn't meet him until they became rulers

      @TheRezro 7 лет назад +1

      Celestia and Lina are based on two sisters from Rescue from Midnight Castle. If so that Luna born as Earth pony despite being Unicornian royalty would explain her jealousy toward sister and why they left in young age. I presume that is reason why they considered Cadence as Pegazi to fit the pattern.. except she was based on G3 Rarity who was unicorn and I doubt it is canon especially as she is Celesta and Luna niece. Celesia could also relate to G3 Star Coather who was pegazi.. though it was before reintroduction of unicorns so considering her unusual design she could be as well a alicorn.

    • @catherineflynn6548
      @catherineflynn6548 7 лет назад

    The only thing that goes against this theory is that their teacher was Starswirl. It could be possible that they were born into the royal status, were taught magic by Starswirl, were given a test, passed it, and became alicorns. Since Starswirl mostly knew about magic and friendship, it's possible he thought Celestia and Luna magic and friendship. I don't have the Journal of the two sisters, so this is mainly from the show.

    "Surrounded by Ponies so much younger than us who have their Cutie Marks" "Now that we're Princesses" ... To become a Princess you first have to because of an Alicorn.
    If they were BORN Alicorns, they'd have to be BORN Princesses (like Princess Flury Heart). Twilight Sparkle BECAME a Princess when she BECAME an Alicorn (Grant it, they had to do the coronation, but that's just a formality to inform the kingdom).
    So if they became Princesses (like Cadence and Twilight). And they couldn't get their Cutie Mark until AFTER becoming Princesses (because they didn't have that kind of power). Then they had to BECOME Alicorns in order to find their calling.

    Possibly, Celestia and Luna are not truly the same type of pony as the Equestrians. We've seen ponies like the Maretonians, and they seem to be a different species or subspecies from the ponies we have been shown in Equestria. What if Celestia and Luna are from a similar type of pony to the Equestrians, yet they are all or mostly alicorns, or at least more prone to giving birth to them? It would make sense, as the only ponies we've seen become alicorns are Twilight and Cadence, Cadence being depicted in the book "Twilight and the Crystal Heart Spell" as being found in the woods as a pegasus by earth ponies, and it is possible she was not left there by Equestrians, but rather by a civilization of alicorns, and she was thrown out due to her birth as a pegasus. Hence, it was much easier for her to become an alicorn than it was for Twilight, who had to be put through magical tests and bear the elements of harmony. Actually, the fact that Cadence, who was possibly from this alicorn civilization, was the mother of Flurryheart lends more evidence to this theory, and could explain her birth as an alicorn rather than a normal pony.

    Well, alicorns are supposed to include Earth Pony magic, so even if they were not born earth ponies, they might have such senses. Celestia can teleport, and perform great feats of unicorn magic. So it is just as likely as the other races.

    Two points:
    1. Their backstory says they CAME TO Equestria...meaning they were not born there.
    2. If they were born alicorns that would make them seem more alien to their subjects which would drive a HUGE wedge between them and the common pony.

    Overall I do agree with you and find your theory plausible (even if I don't wanna know how an earth pony, suddenly gaining wings and a horn, which are both difficult to controle, has to feel) but both of them saying that they were actually alicorns still sounds more believable to me.
    Also I don't really like the quote you used from the journal. I don't know on wich page it was but Celestia or Luna said, that it is normal that naturally born alicorns get their cutie marks late and the text you used in 4:28 is just about them feeling left out because of all the ponies already having their marks.
    I know that you theory is about the fact that they weren't born like this but still I think you can't use this to maintain your theory because it is about a different subject.
    Still I like the idea of them once being earth ponies :D

    I like the idea of them originally being earth ponys simply because that way we have at least one alicorn originally from each tribe

    I think that you are so wrong PRINCESS CELESTIA and PRINCESS LUNA where born as an unicorn then they got their cutie marks by raising and lowing the sun and the moon then they become an alicorn princesses so they can rule over Equestria

    I don't find the books to be cannon, and that in the season premiere, what was said was a continuity error. Or celestia, and luna were born alicorns but they were raised by normal pony's, like cadence.

    aren't they a mix of all 3 therefore *gaining* the visions when they became alicorns?
