Evilshy 5,091 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 (edited) And we don't know that they have no siblings, or aren't married, or weren't at some point. Also, they could be adopted nieces/nephews. They could officially be nieces/nephews, for royals and official purposes and whatnot, but not be blood relatives. Edited October 3, 2012 by Evilshy Signature now 99% less edgy!

NavelColt 22,883 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Fixed your title :3 Yeah the Blueblood and Cadence factor gets interesting to say the least, the more you think about it. I hope they don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if yet more alicorns are introduced in the future to be relatives of Celestia and Luna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnerino 182 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Well, as of this point, it doesn't make any sense because, I mean, we've only really seen Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who knows who they're related to? Maybe, and hopefully, they'll explain this in S3? If you see me around, feel free to say hey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Soul 2,613 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 The Blueblood and Cadence thing is confusing to me as well. Even though Cadence is their neice, so it does make sense, but at the same time it doesn't.

PrinceJehal 21 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Was it ever actually stated that Celestia and Luna don't have any other siblings? I don't recall as much. I do recall it being said that they learned to control the Sun and Moon, but nothing about not having other siblings. Trust me, the very first moment I heard Rarity mention a nephew I turned to my friend and asked "How?" He said, theorhetically, that they're not the only ones.

Zygen 6,066 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 They never stated anything about Luna and Celestia not having any other siblings. Sure they didn't say they did, but thats not reason enough to assume. Is it just me or is every Alicorn related to princess Celestia and Luna lol? 1 Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

Solar Wind 596 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 It could be that they have siblings who are'nt Alicorns and that's why Blueblood is a unicorn... Also it never said cadence was her neice she is part of the crystal empire (or so we've been told) And so far it hasnt been said the crystal empire is related to Celestia/Luna... IT did say that it was just discovered as a matter of fact (but that was from EQD and im not sure if its true or not...) See, I'm Greed. I want everything you can think of.

FoxyCryptid 4,330 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 Didn't Lauren say that Blue Blood was actually a distant descendant that she treats like a N'ephew? Also, since Cadance now has her own kingdom, that's not an issue. "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRarity 1,605 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 They could also be far-removed nieces/nephews. Celestia and Luna are over 1000 years old. I don't think that either Blueblood or Cadance are that old, lol. It's possible that they had other siblings, but they died of old age, but had numerous generations of children. I think that because of Celestia and Luna's statuses as immortal rulers of the sun and moon, they can't have children of their own... I mean, that would suck, having husbands for only a fraction of their lives. I don't think that they could afford to get pregnant and take care of their own children anyways, what with being responsible for the entirety of Equestria and all... So yeah. The royal family in Canterlot is composed of Celestia's and Luna's siblings' children, grandchildren, great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren, etc. So I suppose that makes Blueblood and Cadance their great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandnieces/nephews.

Creamy Arty 6,252 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 (edited) HOW THE HAY DO PRINCESS CELESTIA AND LUNA EVEN HAVE BLUEBLOOD AND CADENCE AS A NIECE AND NEPHEW IF THERE'S ONLY 2 OF THEM WITH NO OTHER SIBLINGS AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE MARRIED!? We didn't know about Prince Blueblood or Princess Cadence's existence from the beginning, so it's possible that there are other alicorns we don't know about. Since Blueblood is a unicorn we know that one of his parents had to be either a unicorn or an earth pony. And they don't have to be married to have foals, ifyaknowwhatimean. Didn't Lauren say that Blue Blood was actually a distant descendant that she treats like a N'ephew? Also, since Cadance now has her own kingdom, that's not an issue. I think Lauren probably makes stuff up afterwards or possibly on the spot when asked. After all, she never intended for fans our ages to happen, and no 7 year-old is going to be asking these questions. So don't be surprised if her responses are confusing or conflicting.

Rarietty 632 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 (edited) It never stated that the princesses had never had children. In ancient mythology, Gods dated and had babies with mortals all the time. Considering the fact that they're over 1000 years old, they also could have married stallions but outlived them. Gee, imagine how sad that would be. We don't know a thing really about the princess' backstory or how they became princesses/queens/living gods. We also don't know a thing about their family, so they could've had siblings as far as we know. Edited October 3, 2012 by Rarietty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarStruck 5 October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 I would think that they have different social classes along the lines of where 'prince' Blueblood is one of the grandchildren of the unicorns from Hearths Warming Eve since they were royalty back then. Celestia and Luna were made into Princesses because they were able to defeat Discord when nopony else could. The tribes naturally put them as the rulers so that in case something else should arise they would be able to defeat it. The Princesses adopted the old royal family as their 'family' and for thousands of years Blueblood's ancestors would have been higher nobles able to stay in the castle and be close to Celestia and Luna. That is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 November 9, 2016 Share November 9, 2016 In The Crystaling both Celestia & Luna are surprised to see a born Alicorn. This implies that one or both of them have at some point had foals that weren't Alicorns. So either 1) Blueblood is descended from Luna. When he called Celestia "aunt" he just left out 1000+ years of "great" in the title. 2) Blueblood & Cadance were adopted as niece & nephew or adopted by Luna for some reason 3 Blueblood is descended from some minor Unicorn royalty whose kingdom was absorbed by Equestria. His family kept the title. He just calls Celestia aunt because she is close to his family. Cadance became a princess when she ascended, same as Twilight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Melody 7,000 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 I may be being too simplistic but I merely accept that Celestia and Luna are like gods (I mean, they move the sun and moon around, who else does that?) and so, same as in other mythologies, there's quite a family of other related immortals, we just haven't seen them all yet. 1 REDWINGS HORSE SANCTUARY www.redwings.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbaTross 1,586 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 Ok so I was watching Let's Watch!

PS: sorry for the mispelled title I took the liberty of editing the thread title to better reflect the subject matter. As for my thoughts on the matter, I'm not sure if it has been confirmed in A canon that Cadance was adopted (and is hence, not Celestia's biological niece), but both the comics and novels suggest that and that's what I have chosen to believe. However, Prince Blueblood is another matter entirely because it has not been established how exactly he is Celestia and Luna's nephew. If they adopted him like they did Cadance, he would probably would have been seen and mentioned a lot more around Canterlot Castle so that can't be the case. Maybe he's a descendant of somepony who was very close to the princesses and was practically like family to them. It would be hilarious if it turned out he's Starswirl's descendant.

Fhaolan 4,488 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 Also it was a thing that people of noble status in RL called each other 'cousin' despite a lack of actual blood relation. It's all about grabbing and retaining status. So if Blueblood is descended from the original Unicorn royalty, (Princess Platinum or somepony like her), Blueblood would be a... well a blueblood. But since the Unicorn royalty isn't in control as far as we are aware, and the Princesses are, in order to maintain that status Blueblood's ancestors would be highly tempted to call Celestia 'cousin' to try to get that status back. But calling a 1,000+ year old alicorn princess 'cousin' several generations later would seem like a stretch. It's possible that all descendants of the unicorn royal line now call Celestia 'aunt' out of habit more than anything. It's highly speculative, but it fits the European historical model.

GrimGrimoire 4,973 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 Why is everyone assuming Celestia and Luna did not have other brothers and sisters? Perhaps they had siblings which are long since dead by now. It has never been confirmed they were always alicorns, and that once upon a time they were just regular Unicorns. Think of it this way.... if Twilight is immortal now like Celestia and Luna (or EXTREMELY long lived), she will outlive Shining Armor by centuries (Although not Cadence). It is quite possible Blueblood is a distant descendant of one of Celestia's siblings who is now just a part of history. This is one reason why it would be so awesome to see an actual Celestia and Luna origins episode that explores where they came from and how they came to be. A lot of these kinds of questions could be answered. ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
