BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS IF YOU ARE ON THIS SITE.
I know about the whole Twilicorn thing. I actually don't care about that aspect. What? I said I don't care. We are making a big deal out of nothing. Twilight gets wings. Whoop-dee-doo. A couple of stories have to change their tags to "Alternate Universe" Alicorns are adulterated. WE ALREADY HAVE CADENCE. Does the existence of that awful character not adulterate them enough?
Do I have problems with it? Yes, but not because she becomes an alicorn. If you REALLY want to know, I have issues with Twilight becoming a princess. It messes with the character relations. But I have a very strong feeling this will be aborted for this reason. I've already made this speech enough on how it would affect character relations. It doesn't take more than two brain cells to figure it out. Unless Hasbro is really screwing with this, it probably won't be permanent. She'll go "Oh please. I want my friends, not the throne" in an episode (maybe even the first one) and everything would go back to normal. If not, we have bigger problems.
As for Cycle, yeah I'm adopting the AU tag when I get to the bridge that needs crossing. It doesn't yet. It actually may not NEED to. There is only one thing that conflict, because I've saved my chips for the risky stuff, and it has NOTHING to do with alitwi. And actually, that other thing may perhaps go away.
But the shitstorm that has developed is delish, no?

I'm more of the type to be annoyed by the massive amounts of chaos stemming from stupid stuff like this. There is a reason I rarely go on major sites who react the second anyone brings up the name Derpy (okay, there's other reasons for not going on them, but each site has their own. This is a very general thing that applies everywhere.) So if you like laughing at things like that, go ahead, but I'm rather annoyed at the whole ordeal.
Rather hypocritical since I'm VERY opinionated myself. See: Cadence jab.

Sometimes, the only thing to do is laugh...
Well, I for one don't care if it's permanent or not.

I guess I can stand to see if you have any good arguments as to why.
Okay, as a princess, Twilight has to either leave the mane six to be replaced by someone who can fill her hole. (Not happening, confirmed by Tara Strong. Then again, don't listen to Tara.) Or she become a goddess among mortals and we end up with a HUGE elephant in the room or an attention suck. Doesn't really work well for the small stories FiM is good for. If it's permanent, we tread on new ground. Sure that isn't bad, but it really isn't the ground you can base a tv show off with the setting MLP has.
770045 Well, I'll wait and see the episode myself before I start judging it.
I don't have enough information right now to form a good opinion yet.

I guess it is true that they could come up with something--but I REALLY can't see any way they could satisfactorily resolve those issues and have it remain permanent.
However, sure. Only the episode will tell for sure.
