I still can’t get the mental image of Celestia singing “Together Forever” out of my head. Celestastly? Ricklestia?

@Itsthinking
 
I still say the magic to become an alicorn has to come from within the pony itself. Just like Twi got the magic which transformed her into an alicorn from her chest and NOT from Celestia´s horn.
 
Otherwise Celestia could go and grant alicornhood left and right.  
All she does is being a guide for the new alicorns to not abuse their newly earned power.

Yes. It is.  
You Mother of All Mad-Mares

So let me get this straight.
 
Cadence as a filly/teen pegasus made a great feat, became an alicorn and the adopted nice of Celestia.
 
Later she married the love of her life, defeated a great enemy with him, defeated another enemy, became the ruler of a empire…
 
 
I would say shes either OP as fuck or Twilight is just a weakling compared to her and we overestimate Twilight, i mean Twilight had to first study under Celestia, and get the most powerful artifact that exists before she could really do anything…

@Background Pony  
I think BG meant “here” as “here in this book”.

@ Background pony: Where is here?  
Link please.

@Twilestia  
It’s from the Schoolastic Young Readers book. The actual ordeal was talked about in the early chapters and can be found here.

@Solitude  
From a book that Meghan McCarthy was a consultant on, actually. Cadance was an orphaned pegasus taken in by an Earth pony village who managed to free the village from the rule of a villain by forcing the villain’s amulet to emit love, not hate.
 
For this, Celestia transported her to that weird plane and gave her a horn and called her her “niece.”

@Solitude  
Yeah and as far as i got all of it they are supposed to be as a official filler in between seasons. (kinda dont like it but at least their decent enough)

@Twilestia  
That’s from one of the comics, if I’m not mistaken.

@Itsthinking
 
Where did you get that she was born as a pegasus and got a horn?
 
Faust said that Cadence was supposed to be a unicorn under her, so cant be from Faust.

@CronoM  
Cadance wasn’t born an alicorn. She was given a horn by Celestia just as Twilight was given wings, in that weird otherworldly plane thing.
 
It’s weird because Celestia is almost treating her like she’s her daughter. If the relationship gets any creepier Twilight will wake up one day and find out her mom and dad were MOON’D and Celestia standing over her bed says: “Now I get to be your real mom!
 
Twilight going on more adventures certainly would help her character out, or heck, maybe even dealing with ambassadors or something.

@CronoM  
In the IDW comic the moment Twilight and Celestia finally meet at the end she goes over to hug her (or such) and a “heart” is shown between them.

Dully noted.
 
@Psychopomf Seriously, there is a point where people are going to make conclusions about your relationship when you give your mentally unstable, Celestia-worshipping student gets no reprimands and give her immortality…especially if your own sister Luna thinks its a bad idea (subtle scene in S3E1)
 
Seriously, there is no reason to suspect she ISN’T immortal since Celestia bows to her and Cadense is born an aging alicorn by being just a relative of Celestia.
 
The Princess Molestia comic, while not in-character, is definitely the closest to the logical truth. “You are mine now forever”
 
…Maybe we should concentrate all our headcanon and fanfic writing up to S3E12 and IDW comics and beyond. Sure, it focuses on Twilight a little too much at times, but it doesn’t Mary Sue her and it gives her trials that have her a lot more worthy of being sorceress supreme.

Molestia should be noted.
