but
but why
how come there's only been two (three? is cadence as old as celly/luna) alicorns this entire time when they could've had children with unicorns to make more? sure, celestia and luna might not want kids, but then how come an alicorn can breed with a unicorn to make another alicorn? And what about Twilight?
Is it random? Is the new alicorn going to have half its powers due to breeding, or do alicorns not breed at all and just use MAGICS?

I don't mind there being a new alicorn so much as I do her color scheme. And if she becomes a princess, what would she even rule?

I think you are confused. Most alcorn's earn there wings/horns by good deeds.

Maybe it was beacuse of pure love between shining armor and Cadence.

If she becomes a princess, I'd assume she rules the crystal empire if Cadence/shining armor passes away.

Also, her color scheme is ok.

Also, her color scheme is ok.

As someone who's fine with the new changelings, no, it really isn't.

I like here color design, reminds me of cotton candy.

Just recite the mantra.

Silly shining

I got to say to the thread, it's good to be home.

Cyan and Fuchsia, Herp! You don't put Cyan and Fuchsia together! That's like putting hot sauce on Altoids! Only as colors. They fight, dangit! Some colors fight each other and those two are one of the worst pairs.
If you desaturated one or both of them that changes things. Takes the oomph out of em, makes 'em not so punchy.
But they didn't! They just slapped 'em right in there! And now I have to live in a world with baby princess ClashingMane.

Deco Pink would be more cotton candy than Fuchsia if they dialed back the Cyan a tad to almost a Sky. But maybe they make the cotton candy radioactive where you live, I dunno.

3/5 alicorns were born into their breed. And are you saying that only one relationship in Equestria experienced real through love? I'm not buying that, Equestria is a pretty damn happy place.
Her taking over for Cadence is fair enough.

No, none of them were born into alcorn's until Flurry heart came in.

That's not what I meant, Cadence being the princess of Love would have more love than most ponies.

Celestia and Luna weren't born into their race?
So your theory is that Cadence is allowed to have alicorn kids because she's an alicorn and she apparently has more love than anypony else. Are you suggesting that other parents love their children less, and that if you love your child more, it's more likely to be your race?
That's kinda racist. Maybe alicorn genes are just dominant.

No, Sun horse and Moon Horse literally say that "She is the first ever born alicorn."

"the birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen".

No, its beacuse she is the Princess of Love.

Nothing to do with race, just that Princess of Love has more love then the any other pony.

Not only that, they also say that the birth of an alicorn is "beyond [their] understanding." Ponies have at least a rudimentary concept of genetics (and I'm not just referencing "Baby Cakes"--ponies do farm and raise animals, so they likely know something about what varieties breed true, hybridization, etc.) so by saying it's beyond their understanding indicates that it's not a matter of basic genetics. Maybe epigenetics?

As to Sunstruck: Remember that in the MLP universe love is not just an abstract concept or sentiment--it is in itself a form of magic. It's not wholly absurd to think that love qua magic influences one's progeny. It could be that having more love makes it more likely to have an alicorn child, rather than one's own race, regardless of race.

They did? I've been out of touch with the series for far too long. I hope that Luna and Celestia were born into their position, even if they don't know it or remember exactly how they came to be, because those two being the first or last of an alicorn race is just too epic a thought to pass up on.

I wish the story direction would've leaned less on more princess and more on Twilight's quest of learning and development. I'm still sore about season 3. It felt way too early for her transformation. Hell, if the show ended at the last episode of season 2, that would have been fine too.

But it's not fair for me to stay stuck in the past, in the glorified days of bronydom. Watching the show again doesn't have that same sparkle it used to. I'm starting to notice more flaws, more imperfections. The characters are still amazing and true to themselves the majority of the time thankfully, and they're a very important part of the series. It's like the community has focused more on the fan content than the show itself, tho. The art, the fanfiction, the music (Moonrise is still great), the games. I'm guilty of this. Most of my days in the fandom were spent on fimfiction. Which isn't bad, I'm just starting to wonder if bronies really love the show, or if they really love the content that fans produce. Or both. There's even a fimfic author that named her daughter after Trixie. The show is a powerful influence on our lives. To this day, I still wonder how it all happened, how it was all possible.
