We kick logic out and make the impossible Possible. THAT IS THE WAY TEAM DAI CRUSADER ROLLS!
Woooo!
She better be getting a cutie mark out of this!
Also, "Apple Bloom". Seems appropriate.
Also, I hope Rumble is going to be able to deal with dating a princess.
Some reason this feels appropriate.

It means that specific hormones and enzymes are detected. Specifically, those that indicate pregnancy.
So does this mean that Bloom was the other Answer?
5988105
She is Growth.
YES!!!! Finally, an Apple Princess (pun intended for those in actual Agricultural towns). HUZZUH, THE FUN HAS BEEN APPLE-IED!!!
Heh. I suppose she should have been considered, but all her work towards it has been behind curtains, we never knew what Apple Bloom and the others were working on. It made it hard to consider Apple Bloom in the running for Alicorn of Growth when we had no idea what she was working on. I can see how this warrants it.
And I find delightful irony in here. We have an Earth Pony who just solved world hunger. The World travelers are facing starvation because of what they've done to their Earth Ponies. IF they had never treated their Earth Ponies as they do, they may have not ever been in the situation they currently are.
........... really dude?
And I thought 'in the wings' meant 'not born yet'.
Alas, this is awesome. Let's go and rub this into Canon-Diamond Tiara's snobby face.
5988109
Yay, I picked something up without reading the comments!
5988114
What? You complaining About Unascended Earth Pony Princess Apple Bloom?
Ah, good old alicorn refusal. This was strangely satisfying.
5988113
AND SOMEBODY GOT THE ALL IMPORTANT MESSAGE! OH MY GODDESS, THANK YOU! YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!
Some Images to commemorate this

Is the message being the mirror travelers fucked themselves by how the treat their worlds earth ponies? if so, that has been pretty obvious.
So I guess Apple Bloom is Growth. Thought for sure it would be somepony from Bucky's ever-growing family.
Yes!
She is the Apple Princess!
Her glory and wisdom shall lead us into the future!
It has been foretold!
221 chapters read, 445 to go...
HELP! I'VE FALLEN BEHIND AND I CAN'T GET BACK UP!
5988156
Think back to previous events in the story. The Crusader Project was mentioned in the first few chapters.
Think of Loki, defending Apple Bloom from the rats... something was moving against her, even then, and Loki was her guardian.
The world very nearly lost Growth to the rats.
5988134 'stares blandly'
really? applebloom? ...... sighs.
and weren't the earth ponies broken long before the rebellion against not nightmare moon started? could ahve sworn they went mindless...... even when unicorns and pegasi turned violent. so it wouldn't matter if they were treated well or poorly, they are incapable of functioning in a dead world.
.........wait. how could that outer alicorn hwo became less than mortal know about someone like applebloom coming? i thought beings outside of a dimension were incapable of seeing fate? that is why the mirror travelers can't be found by the fates, cause they are not part of the dimension and outside of it. so how could someone outside of the dimension see it?
.... and why do i keep on making these nicknames? cosmic pants, alicorn who became less than mortal. admitably the only one i have outright disdain for is the night stallion because of how obviously inept he is as a leader, yet somehow he didn't end up throwing his men to extinction against the first other world they encountered...........
i am rambling. probably didn't get enough sleep last night.
Kudzu, you fecked up. ... WHERE'S THE SONG, MAN?!
Also... if Celestia and Luna are alicorns due to being amalgamations of the souls of the previous race of alicorns... does Celestia give away one of her souls to make others alicorns? Like an infusion?
Edit: You know, all my blue ribbons and plaques I've got here in my room from all the science fairs I won suddenly seem pretty shitty compared to being turned into a nascent earth pony god... fucking damnit Applebloom.
5988193
Hey, let's shit on everyone's happy moment!
Yay! Nobody can ever enjoy anything!
5988199
Which song?
Um... does anyone else find that a little unfair? Sure, Applebloom had the idea, but it wasn't just her who made it work. ALL those involved in the project should get a share of the reward.
5988210
Little Apple was proving that she is a leader. That she can make a concept and pull it through.
5988193
Lord of Myth: Earth ponies got shafted. In your story, earth ponies are worthless and can't do anything important.
**Earth pony solves world hunger**
Lord of Myth: This is stupid. I mean, come on... Apple Bloom. Really? Oh man, why did you have to go and do that?
5988204
This amazing work right here. Serious, the morning this happened you should have seen the Celestia-centric chat room I was in. I think we may have all collectively burst into tears. Apple Bloom needs this!
5988210
Oh, trust me, they will. Don't worry.
5988134
Glad to put make you so happy!
And now, I'm just hedging my bets here, but I'm guessing there's a reason that Apple Bloom/Growth appeared as she did. As with anything that grows, she started out as a seed (essentially). There in the earth, unknown to any passers by until she begins to grow. Now that she's growing, with the proper nutrients and care (learning and family/friends), she can begin to bloom into something magnificent. And the better she's nurtured and cared for, the more magnificent her growth will be.
5988210
She's also the lynch pin, nothing would have happened without her and her intuition.
5988200
To be fair, it's lordofmyth... were you expecting something different?
5988220
Apple Bloom got that.
5988193
Seriously, what the fuck Myth. You spent like thirty chapters complaining about how Earth Ponies are somehow STILL slaves and how worthless they've been made and how they don't measure up to any other race and how crappy they are by comparison.
Then they get their own GOD who has made them equal in importance to the others, creating true racial equality and the potential for harmony and now you're mad? You don't make sense!
5988200 if i was shitting on it, i would be saying it was a terrible idea and was utterly contrived as a concept........
well i would say it was a terrible idea if i was shitting on it. calling it contrived would be critique.
personally i am just confused about it. not sure what to think about it. true she figured out something pretty important here, but at the same time..... i do not know if i could call it alicornification material. i honestly can't say it isn't, yet at the same time something is off about this to me that makes me doubt if it is.
of course even if i was 100% into it i would have brought up that alicorn who is less than mortal and be confused over how he is somehow able ti see these things while he is basically alien to this world himself.
the rambling about nicknames and my disappointment/disbelief in the night stallion was probably just me being tired though.
5988215
Exactly. Twilight became an alicorn for connecting friendship and magic, which was not possible without her friends. That doesn't mean her friends become alicorns. It's not a 'reward', as some might put it - it's a destiny that has been realized, that has come to fruition. If divinity was a reward, then Bucky wouldn't be running from it... and it wouldn't be chasing him. But it's destiny, so it's right on his butt.
sorry couldn't help myself.

5988240
As I said to Kudzu, it's lordofmyth... what were you expecting?
5988256
I at least try to have faith in humanity, at least on an individual scale. Stuff like this continues to make me wonder why I bother, though.
5988254
Blank flank and immortal! Blank flank forever!
5988260
Just give it up. Humanity is a lost cause.
5988240 they already had one, remember? the alicorn god father mother thingy was originally an earth pony, and they are still somehow lesser.
call him cosmic pants cause he seems rather childish to me.
of course my entire issue is that the imbalance makes no sense to me. earth ponies are stronger and tougher than either pegasi or unicorns. yet somehow they get killed off like they are nothing most of the time or treated like slaves or pawns when the statistics state they are far from pushovers.
not to mention their strengths are supernatural in nature too.
5988254
That is unbelievably appropriate!!!!
I see a lot of alicorn hatred...
The entire race was defiled in every way possible before being eaten alive...
Now no pony wants to be an Alicorn...
Bucky I can see why not for obvious reasons, but does he not see how mean him and Applebloom are being to the other Alicorns?
Celestia and Luna are finally starting to bring back a lost race...they will no longer be alone...
Is Bucky going to be there to stop every Alicorn from ascending because of race reasons...Buckys argument can be used for all races...including the Alicorn race...
I just sense a lot of anti-alicorn sentiment right now.
5988264
He -was- an earth pony. Once ascending, being an earth pony/unicorn/pegasus is more of a state of mind and habit. Twilight is basically still a unicorn, for instance.
But Galaxia/Cosmicorn? That's beyond the sort of terrestrial gods we see in alicorns like Bucky or Twi or even the Sisters and their siblings. That's a being whose mind you can't properly comprehend, and you only find fucked up because they simply have different morals than you do and view life differently. Who's to say which is right and wrong? You could, but that's only an opinion - that doesn't mean your word is a Universal Truth - which, is just what Galaxia is SEEKING, truths that are actually true and not subjective or mental constructs.
Either way, he/she stopped being an earth pony, and doesn't live amongst them or watch over them or aid them specifically. The entire reason any of the ponies exist is because he's conducting her own science experiment. In D&D terms, he's Ao. The far-removed creator who is beyond all gods, and keeps them from personally fucking shit up too hard but otherwise is too large and unknowable to bother with mortals milling about or their troubles. The lesser gods can deal with it.
5988271
Apple Bloom will ascend at some point, but as I saw the chapter, she's being given a chance at a normal foalhood until she is ready.
5988271
It's not really "bringing back a race," every alicorn (or potential alicorn) has a purpose. Day, Night, Love, Magic, War, and now Growth.
5988218 ......... are you intentionally misinterpreting me or am i just too tired to be clear?...... probably the latter.
as i tried to say. the issue is her becoming an alicorn, not her potentionally solving world hunger. and it is something that could have only happened when the three pony kinds stopped beings shits to one another. thematically it works that applebloom and her friends create a solution only applicable if all three breeds becoming one.
applebloom literally becoming all three breeds in one is what kinda breaks the moment for me. i can't say its bad as a concept, but i can't say its good as a concept. could it make sense for a situation where all three ponies come together could create a new alicorn?
only in the world you've created i suppose where that is actually a problem, where somethign went wrong.
does it make sense that its applebloom of all ponies?
shrugs.
basically i an certain on how awesome he whole cloud seeding thing is, yet i am completely divided on applebloom being an alicorn. basically i went from 'that is a really cool concept' to '.....really?'
.... and you know my issue with the earth pony thing is not that they are treated like crap, but that the prejudices that unicorns and pegasi actually being right and them actually being lesser than either....... and more so, that the idea kinda contradicts with their pretty large capacity to kick ass. and their inventiveness.....
issue isn't earth pony becoming alicorn, its who is becoming it and whether or not it makes sense, or if the situation justifies a new alicorn.
5988294 it is a race.
Just a race with more specific responsibilitys than the other races.
Just like the other races have their own set of things they do to help the world whether it be food, weather, or so on.
The Alicorns just take care of bigger more specific aspects of the world.
