I hope that this doesn't happen.
I like Twilight just the way she is.

^ You don't think Celestia is raising Twilight to be her eventual successor?

^ I think so, and Luna is raising Pip to be her successor.
Blueblood gets nothing!

It makes no sense, because Twilight is a unicorn and al unicorns age and die eventually, look at the parents for example. And there is no reason for rise twilight to replace Royal Sisters. The latter ruled together over 1000 years (1000 + some time after Discord), their reign pretty much successful and there is no reason that they can't rule within next few thousands years.

Tho, Twilight as she is now could take it's place in the castle of course. And probably will. But replace? Nah, plausible and tempting, but way too overplayed because usual trope that appeals to the mass way too much (read: boring and repetative).

Psh, "It makes no sense" is way too strong a claim.

Firstly, they could easily make it that Alicorns are not a normal 'race' - you can be 'promoted' to one, it's like becoming a demigod. Possibly it even passes along with the title, like Celestia could relinquish her godhood and Twilight would gain it.

As for reasons, it wouldn't be hard for the writers to come up with some plausible ones - maybe Celestia is tired of being the eternal god-princess and wants to retire? Maybe the Elements of Harmony are tied to their divine power, so that over time Celestia will begin to lose hers while Twilight will gain it? Maybe, as "Princesses", there is a higher cosmic order with rules that will require a succession?

In fact, the elements moving from Celestia to Twilight are sort of a big hint that that's what she intends. They were the means by which Celestia and Luna gained rulership of Equestria and seem to be the magical heart of their whole pony society. Keying them to Twilight and her friends, grooming Twilight to be the best at magic and learning about friendship and life, all of these things suggest successor.

As for being overplayed or "appeals to the mass", this show isn't exactly about the crazy plot twists. On the other hand, this show isn't about endings either. If they did an ending for the series it'd probably be this because it's such a natural fit ('boring' or 'predictable' though you might think it), but they'll probably never do an ending.

#594521's headcanon is excellent headcanon.

#521 is just suggesting possible outcomes with reasonable ideas. They were very clearly labeled as such.

Heck, I could add one of my own, just for fun. Maybe Celestia and Luna are cosmic travelers. They saw a world in peril and stopped by for a "brief" eon to straighten things up a bit before moving on. Celestia has one last duty, and that's to name a successor before her and Luna can travel to the next world-in-need.

My headcannon?

If you are exposed long enough with the Elements of Harmony you will mutate. If your mutation is to advanced, you can't use the elements anymore.

Blueblood, who is nephew of both Celestia and Luna, indicates, that the Princesses had at least one sibling, who was not immortal/an Alicorn.

Blueblood might not be 100% royal line though. A parent could have married a commoner at some point. Also, it's possible that ANY children that a royal has will turn into one of the regular breeds. That could mean that the sisters weren't actually born, but are some form of greater divinity.

> you can be 'promoted' to one
boring. repetitive,overplayed. too fanfiction.

> maybe Celestia is tired
"Celestia tired". Thousands of Celestia fics crying upon this words.
boring. repetitive,overplayed.

> They were the means by which Celestia and Luna gained rulership of Equestria
Those were the tool that allows them to imprison Discord, nothing more. Equestria as the land was formed by Sisters and Eoh won't help you to rule successfully within 1k years (and may be more). You need to be smart and wise. And Sisters -- read: Celestia -- were. EoH don't give you wisdom or intelligence. It is not a weapon like atomic bomb. It s not a symbol of power or reign.

> Maybe the Elements of Harmony are tied to their divine power, so that over time Celestia will begin to lose hers while Twilight will gain it?
Lauren used word "currently" when said that Twi and Ko now controls the Elements. Once mane six dies EoH will be freed from the connection and Sisters can harness their power again (sine they are together now).

But continue.
