I consider the sisters existence to Equestria as the Olympians were to the greeks in mythology. They perform the functions of gods without being labeled as such for whatever marketing reason. Another alternate explanation is that they were created. How and for whatever purpose. Who knows. It's not like we have an origin story or a family history of the sisters anyways.

If Cadence and Shining Armor produce offspring and they're alicorns then I guess that'll answer whatever this conversation is.

All I'd really take is for just one of Cadence and Shining Armor's potential kids to be a alicorn for the conversation to be settled.

I've given up on Celestia and Luna's status as deities and alicorns long ago, it's pretty clear nobody will come with a good explanation and prefer to consider them as gods who live among their people without having a cult centered around them and some sort of "ancient race" so powerful that it acquired eternal youth. All I want is an explanation of how Cadence is their "niece", and the only thing I can think of is they were granted eternal youth but not inmortality, hence there are relatives we're not seeing... because they're dead for some reason or another (maybe Discord killed them?). But then, what were these relatives? Maybe Cadence is a demigod, born from the union of an alicorn/whatever and a normal earth pony?

Actually, I do have a question in relation to Celestia and Luna. Why are they princesses? I see no king or queen, and Canterlot looks like its entirely ruled by the both of them. Shouldn't that make them queens?

You know Twilight's teleportation spell? Clearly the first alicorn came about when some unicorn teleported into the same space as a pegasus. ...And managed to not die in the process.

Or my other theory: They came from the planet Alicornia. I'm gonna go with this one.

Faust intended to make them queens, but Hasbro thought otherwise and decided to make them princesses because they're more popular among little girls (or so I heard).

The other thing I'd like to know is how people considered Luna/Nightmare Moon a myth, doesn't Celestia's presence itself confirm it? Or maybe everybody in Canterlot knows she did exist and Ponyville is so uncultured they took it as a myth and Celestia didn't notice because she seldom comes?

And I'm still betting five bucks Twilight's parents won't show up at the wedding and they'll go along with the "Twilight's Brother" asspull. Here's hoping they don't, though.

Princesses for children and marketing sake, Queen Celestia for everyone else that thinks about it. You don't buck with the monarch.

Or in the thousand years since luna was last scene the actual events were lost to become a semi-myth based on actual events.

Theory for the wedding:

Right as they're about to say "I do", Twilight objects and confesses deep love for Cadence. Cadence turns out to be Discord in disguise. Twilight and Discord marry. No one knows what the fuck even happened and all the children cry.

It was a thousand years in the past, and Celestia herself did not fret about it in the least bit. This was an issue regarding the fate of Equestria, with Celestia at the heart of all of it, and she told Twilight to forget about it and hang out with some friends. Celestia's actions would have led people to agree that it's a myth.

Makes sense to me, but I'm still mildly upset at the "Twilight's Brother" and "Celestia and Luna's niece" thing. Couldn't they be just a pair of really important ponies with honorable pasts and so rich they invited everyone? That way, the Princess could've just invited Twilight and the others because they're important ponies as well because clubs and elites work like that and all those tropes.

EDIT: I'm kind of okay with both from a certain point of view, but what bothers me is how they were never introduced or implied beforehand (safe, perhaps, for associations with Blueblood). Well, I shouldn't get so worked-up, fan theories will cover those and I'll watch and enjoy the episode anyway.

I think we should probably see the wedding episodes first. It's already mentioned that Twilight discovers a "secret" about Cadence... so for all we know, it could give you your alicorn answers.

"Secret"? I hadn't heard about that part (or at least didn't remember it). The climate of this discussion makes me point to "She's an alicorn and not Celestia or Luna's niece", but I'll wait before I start to expect too much of it. That's one of the fun things about fan speculation when a show's still airing, getting hopes and hypes for upcoming episodes and having fun with it to later enjoy the show. "The fun has been doubled!", as wise Luna said.

So I just found this:

00:11 HOLY SHIT, TWILIGHT'S PARENTS ARE THERE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ACTUALLY DID IT, THANKS FOR PROVING ME WRONG, WRITERS!

Had anybody of you seen the preview before?

EDIT: Also, confirmed, Cadence is an Alicorn, so the secret is another one.

Oh dear, I just realized it's less than four days until the season is over.
I can feel the withdrawls already.

I forget that somewhere they said there was going to be summer episodes. So we don't have to wait that long.
