Would you be an Alicorn or a Unicorn?

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

I don't really get this thread.. But I'll post in it anyway because I have an answer.

 

Even though I'd rather be an Alicorn I'm pretty content being a unicorn here. xD Alicorns are pretty much for the princesses.

 

Being a unicorn can be just as powerful as a unicorn, the only upside that Alicorns have is the natural wings and natural flying, plus the extra strength. I'm content with only having magic because even with just magic I could do lots of things.

 

Pretty much sums that up.

I would totally be an alicorn, because WINGS! Wings and natural flight have always interested me, so yeah, Id totally wanna be an Alicorn since those are the only choices for this question. But if it was a choice between all four/five types of pony, I would choose pegasus.

I would be an Alicorn, no doubt about it. I would be nice to be able to fly and use magic. My only question is there a requirement to become an Alicorn?

I'd probably go with unicorn. I just don't think I'd want all the attention being an alicorn would bring. Besides, I could very easily just learn a levitation spell, thus negating the need for wings entirely while retaining many of the same capabilities. Oh, loopholes. Gotta love 'em.

I'd choose Unicorn.. not because I hate alicorns, I love them! But I'm not too fond of flying.. I'm terrible with heights so that wouldn't suit me at all lol xD

There's a difference, though: unicorns' spell-based self-levitation and cloud-walking are artificial and only temporary, while pegasi's wing-based flight and cloud-walking are natural and permanent.

okay, everyone alicorns are not sometimes royal. so alicorns are rulers and some are not. Some stallions are alicorns so Im still going with my alicorn answer

I would rather be a unicorn. Alicorns, I feel, would have too much responsibility and I don't think wings would benefit me much because I don't like heights all that much and I'm afraid of flying...so no wings for me

This debate is kinda asking rather you be a King or a God both sound great but one is better than the other tho i would rather be a unicorn i wouldn't want to be treated different just because i'm Royal it would a be alot simpler life just being a unicorn tho Flying does sound great
