If Alicorns are made, not born, then how can you become one?

>then how can you become one?
Screw up and sing a song.

Its implied in the journal of the two sisters that celestia and luna were born alicorns, and were raised by other alicorns, like flurry heart was.
they probably immigrated to equestria and that's why equestria hasn't Seen an alicorn birth yet.
One would expect that ascension into an alicorn could only be done with the tree of harmony, but cadence apparently ascended just by hugging someone really, REALLY hard and their necklace magic teleported her into that place where twilight was before and celestia met her and turned her into an alicorn.
Also, there's apparently another alicorn in the season finale, so there's that too; and if you use comic canon, Pinkie turned into an alicorn by stealing discord's dimension.
So apparently all you need to become an alicorn is to absorb a suitably powerful enough quanity/artifact of magic and you'll turn into one.

can we once and for all agree that their world makes no sense whatsoever and shouldn't be analysed scientifically?
when in doubt, call it magic

>>30840922
sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science.

>>30840830
Cadence was a pegasus who beat a witch once and then bam, alicorn. That's literally what her backstory is as told in her chapter book.

>>30840878
Celestia, Luna and Twilight have their cutiemarks on the tree, but nothing about Cadence and her hellspawn

What do you think this fucker's story is going to be?

>>30840927
you can't analyse magic because it's magic. you can study the practical usage, not the mechanisms behind it

>>30840949
Which is why magical schools exist and magic is tough and studied, right?

>>30840944
cadence should have turned into an alicorn from the crystal empire.

Like, the heart should have been torn out of the empire by sombra, and that caused it to dissapear, and Cadence found it and it turned her into an alicorn, with it being her destiny to use the heart to summon the empire back into existence with it.

>>30840964
but what do they study? how to do spells of course

>>30840948
Just needs a friend, redeemed in the same issue that he appears in.

EXCUSE ME WHAT

>>30840830
>earth horse
>capable of doing anything great
Do you know how many times Twilight would have gotten killed if she was an earth horse?

>>30841044
see the other anon's image
>>30840948
the shadowlock are was specifically advertised as being a preview of season 7, and the only thing that was gotten out of it was the final page showing an ancient evil alicorn that shadowlock was scared shitless would return.
So its a pretty safe bet that's the pony of shadows in the upcoming finale.

>>30841056
Clearly twilight would just randomly have gotten Swole like rockhoof and turned into a massive she-hulk to fix her problems.

>>30841056
Well, it would explain why she's the tallest and most horselike main character in the show. The only recurring character who rivals Celly for "this one is literally just a horse" is Applejack.

>>30840948
Thorax's brother

the plot synopsis for Pharynx's episode pretty clearly states that pharynx learns that love is a strength, not a weakness.
he's turning into a rainbow beetle too.

Maniac McGee taught me that legends are made, not born.

So I guess that can hold true for alicorns. Who is the maker though? The pony's internal magic?

>>30840948
So, Sombra will reincarnate as a changeling?

>>30840878
they were born as alicorns somewhere else and star swirl brought them to equestria to raise the sun and moon. everything else about it is a mystery.

>>30841639
"brought"?
he found them in equestria. they were there first; the name "canterlot" comes from the alicorn's name for the hills the city was built at.

>>30840830
>If Alicorns are made, not born
They can be born and made, you imbecile. DYEWTS?

>>30841639
>brought them to equestria to raise the sun and moon

No, you can't stay here! You have raise the sun and the moon! You can't do it here, you have to go to an entirely different country because....reasons.

They were born as alicorns

>>30840830
>What races were the other 3 Pony princesses before the transformation?
Based on their behaviours, Celestia was likely a unicorn due to her reliance on magic while Luna was probably a pegasus since she uses her wings and pegasus magic a lot.

Candence was a whorse

Alicorns are made when writers pull shit out their ass. its simple.
