Silver Stream. 708 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Do you guys think that when/if Twilight ever becomes the new ruler of Equestria (I'm sure that if she was to become the new ruler, it'll be awhiiiiiiile) Would she be a ruler all by herself or she'll be ruling alongside the mane 5? I can imagine her being Prime ruler, but I am sure the mane 5 would be like her second in command of some sort. I feel like this because it was the Mane 5 that made her the Princess of Friendship in the first place and there are too many cases to count where she wouldn't have accomplished much WITHOUT them. Twilight is a very interesting character alone, and I'm not saying she'd be helpless without them, but I think she would be a stronger ruler with them close at her side than by herself. 1 SILVER STREAM'S POETRY DUMP I am Silver Stream || My Request Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Brony 313 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 (edited) I strongly suspect that Celestia has been grooming Twilight to take her place as ruler of Equestria one day. But I also feel that it's probably too soon for that. Like...centuries too soon. When Twilight finally takes the throne, her friends will have long since passed away. I'm pretty sure that she's strong enough of heart to soldier on despite the loss and that their memories and the lessons they taught her about friendship would survive and forge Twilight into a better ruler. But then again, she might just choose not to live without them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZDhMKk4tfg Edited October 15, 2015 by J.

Silver Stream. 708 October 15, 2015 Author Share October 15, 2015 I have no words because I'm on the verge of tears from watching that. But I suppose you're right about them being gone by the time Twilight takes the throne unless there's some sort of way to make them immortal or something but I doubt it SILVER STREAM'S POETRY DUMP I am Silver Stream || My Request Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daring_Do 552 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Princess Twilight and the Knights of the Round Stable. Meghan McCarthy said on Twitter that Twilight won't outlive her friends, btw. It's been debated what exactly she meant by that; One view on it (that I personally hold) is that Twilight and Cadance don't have any special longevity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Stream. 708 October 15, 2015 Author Share October 15, 2015 So only those who are BORN an alicorn are immortal or at least...they live for centuries? If so, then there wouldn't be a reason for Twilight o take over unless Celestia was to step down?

Silver Stream. 708 October 16, 2015 Author Share October 16, 2015 Maybe..but wouldn't she be aging if her time was ding at an end? And you know what....I never considered this but: even Celestia was to step down, would Twilight even be next in line? Or would it be Luna?

And you know what....I never considered this but: even Celestia was to step down, would Twilight even be next in line? Or would it be Luna? Well, if I remember rightly Faust said that her plan was that Celestia was grooming Twilight to succeed her, *but* Faust said she didn't use the words "alicorn" or "princess". Personally, ignoring that, I've given a little thought to what the line of succession might be going by blood... 1. Princess Luna 2. King Leo of Aquastria 3. Prince Blueblood 4. Léon About aging - Again, this is just me talking, and I'm not sure this idea of mine is even logical, but - What if the way it works, she's only just resumed "normal aging"? As in, for centuries her aging was hugely slowed down, but now that she's near the end she's gone back to aging regularly (so she'll get old over the next couple decades)?

cider float 2,539 October 17, 2015 Share October 17, 2015 that is good here is another in tear inducing one. that too also brings up the pain of immortality. Sacrifice her alicornhood to save her friends. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some upcoming toys suggest yes though Still 100% convinced those are going to be like the Gold lily/sterling toys, and just be Popular characters packaged alongside a princess Now, this might sound anti-twilightish for some logic here, but bear with me here for a second. To do a "All the mane six become alicorns" plotline, you'd need a plotline or two parter that focused on the other 5 besides twilight specifically. This is highly abnormal and seems unlikely, as all two parters, premiers and finales so far have had the majority focus on Twilight, while an arc about the other 5 becoming alicorns would, by necessity reverse that and have to focus on the other 5 more than twilight. This just seems very unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that the show and Hasbro are full of surprises , We might not get Mane6 with full set of horn and wings, but I wouldn't rule it out either 1 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkiraLeeJounouchi 858 October 17, 2015 Share October 17, 2015 I think she will. After all taking care of a whole country is allot. Even for an Alicorn. They can run it like a committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirox the pony 1,336 October 17, 2015 Share October 17, 2015 Well each of the duties seem to be split between multiple princesses. So I'd say it is a possibility but I doubt it would happen.

If blind bags are any indication, I'd say that not only does Hasbro have a marketing campaign in the works to sell a half-dozen repainted Celestia's as part of some new "princess line" but that there are plenty of collectors out there willing to shell out the money to purchase every last variant that they produce.

The explore equestria toyline doesn't seem much different than any others before it for example: there's no gimmick in it so far that can be seen that differentiates it from any others for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,539 October 17, 2015 Share October 17, 2015 (edited) I wonder if they're turning the ruling in Equestria from a monarchy to a council, the mane 6 being the lead council. Maybe giving the mane 5 responsibilities like Applejack oversees agriculture, Rarity deals with fashion, media and such, Rainbow Dash on the weather control etc. Edited October 17, 2015 by cider float Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe giving the mane 5 responsibilities like Applejack oversees agriculture, Rarity deals with fashion, media and such, Rainbow Dash on the weather control etc. That would be pretty awesome. I'm sure Twilight could rule all on her own if she had/wanted to with no porblem, but would prefer to do it with her friends. A leading council is possible. Who knows? But this only applies if Celestia somehow leaves the equation of stayinng ruler. There's no rush for that. She may not have been super useful in most of the situations executed in the series, but she has stopped dangers in the past and is doing fine as a ruler now. 1 SILVER STREAM'S POETRY DUMP I am Silver Stream || My Request Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
