I Dream of Twilight modblog
What do you think about Meghan McCarthy stating that alicorn twi wont outlive her friends?

I did know about that. I know it contradicts some things I had put into the MMC Arc. But I just want to say, that the show will probably never cover anything relating to a Ponies death. Not even a official word on how long normal Ponies live in Equestria. I kinda feel like Meghan’s comment was answered just to attempt to ease worries that Twilight is not suddenly immortal.

I’ll say this. If there’s some changes I can place that contradict the canon but I’m still able to mostly follow canon I will. Because while I do try to have Genie Twilight follow canon loosely. Just the fact that of course Canon Twilight is not a Genie already makes it different. If there’s something that comes up in Canon that I don’t think I want to put in Genie Twilight I won’t. Though it’s not like they’re going to kill off Twilight or any major character for that matter.

On outside of the blog, I actually believed from the get go that even if Twilight as an Alicorn is not immortal that she’d inherently live longer then her friends.  Because I feel like part of the reason she’s a princess is so she could teach the values she’s gained over time with being around her friends to others. Helping maintain those throughout Equestria. So in some ways I disagree with the comment Meghan made, though at the same time I’m not going to go all angry like “THAT DESTROYS MY HEADCANON ARGHLABRAGLEASDFGHJKL;” because I think it was just a sort of settling fears tweet. Unless for some reason we see Twilight die in the series it’s not entirely important anyway however. On this issue however, I’ll maintain that I think Twilight will outlive her friends as an Alicorn despite what Meghan says because I don’t see the show having us see the Main 6 grow old and die. That’d just be too sad. I’ll accept some “Word of God” the staff says about stuff within the show’s timeline. But trying to say what the far, far, future holds for the characters I think is just as speculative as a fan thinking of it.

Do I inherently believe that all Princesses in FiM are immortal in every way? I’m not too sure. Celestia and Luna definitely have lived a long time though, and I think although there’s theories that Cadence is a lesser Alicorn that isn’t immortal and Twilight’s in the same status. I still think a Lesser Alicorn lives longer then a normal Pony. I’ve also fault of the possibility that Alicorns are immortal from only an aging death, meaning if something was physically or magically powerful enough. Then even Celestia and Luna are vulnerable, they’re just immune to the “sands of time” you could say. Another theory I’ve heard is that the Alicorns are tied to their talents in many ways, like Celestia and Luna are tied to the Sun and Moon. If the Sun and the Moon were to be destroyed, Celestia and Luna could die or suddenly become mortal again. Though that’d be odd because if you want to consider what Cadence and Twilight are respectively (Princesses of Love and Magic/Friendship) does this mean that they’d get weaker if Equestria started losing the feelings of Love and Friendship?

Well anyway, just rambling on by now on questions that will probably never get a clear answer. I’ll just end off that I’m sure by the time the show ends. All the Main 6 will be alive and well. Meaning any word of god that came before that covered stuff that happens after which is just as much speculation as fan speculation is. When a show ends, you can interpret yourself how things go afterward for yourself. You could choose to directly follow what the staff says what generally happens after the show ends, or you can follow your own. Keep it in your head, or even write a fanfic about your interpretation of the Aftermath of the show. The show’s obviously not going to mention things like Life span of a normal pony or a Princess for that matter, they’re not going to show the grave of a well-known character or imply any major character died, and so on and so forth. Word of God can be useful for alot of things, but not something in which it’s definitely not going to be covered in the show.
