Wut?
Yay! The gang is all here...Eh...I'm not sure if the newcomer will be in the gang.
Just squeeze together. Wonder if Tarnished and crew will ever furgure it out.
Should I be concerned that at this point I'm so jaded that my brain no longer accepts the "obvious" idea that Helianthus = Celestia that it's held since the first appearance? Kudzu fics have left me unwilling to fully accept anything at 'face' value no matter how much hinting occurs because now I'm constantly suspicious that everything is a red herring. Especially things that seem obvious but that the stories go out of the way to not reveal until the big twist.
Further: Is it completely crazy to have started thinking that Helianthus is actually Luna in disguise?

By the end of this story, the mystery of Helianthus, and by extension, Mellonella Moth, will be revealed.

I know who they are since you told me. They are Sumac and Pebbles Children from the future come to the past to make sure shit goes down the way it should. Nah. I'm just kidding. Anyone who takes that seriously has more problems in the head than I do.
7640941
After birthing Helianthus, Pebble punched Sumac to the moon.

From reading the various stories of The Weed Cycle, and I still haven't gotten to all of them yet, I'm starting to think Helianthus and Mellonella Moth are more or less as they appear, perhaps descendants of the sisters, but the resemblance is uncanny rather than implicating of a stronger connection.
7640964
I honestly believe that the real truth will shock people just a tiny bit. Not just the identity, but the how and the why.
7640967
And you keep us guessing enough I'm not even sure what that might mean. I can't wait~!

Mellonella Moth was the large dark pony that showed up somewhat recently, right?
... Way back in chapter fifteen (I had to unearth this, because I wanted to know if I remembered correctly), a Pink Pegasus, larger than normal pegasi just like Helianthus, who described herself as coming from the far north showed up named Dove. She attended the Stiff Upper Lip ball.
... I presumed she is linked to Cadance in the same way Helianthus is (or isn't) to Celestia.
But the mystery of Helianthus's exact identity remains, and thus the mystery of Dove (and Mellonella) remains as well.
7640991
Mellonella was all the way back at the Glory Hole in The Weed, don't think she has been around at all this fic.
7641013
... Ctrl-F's furiously.
You're right.

She sort of shows up. She leaves the moon rock for Maud.
7640967 .-.
You scare me sometimes, why can't you just take the obvious answerrrrrrrr??!!!
.-.
That would be too easy, huh?

Helianthus is the old Principle Celestia from beyond the mirror. See, she is immortal, but living in the human world, she has to worry about the whole pesky 'not growing old' thing. So every now and then, she clones herself and sends her old self through the mirror. The younger version poses as her daughter and the older now banished version becomes Celestia's newest assistant.
Technically, this is true. Nopony laughed. However, I can sure as hell say I laughed.
Celestia, you're not fooling everyone.
(Thinks on it a bit)
Unless the name is based on an ancient and almost forgotten language that Celestia happens to know while the vast majority of Equestrians wouldn't know and is only obvious to readers because we have cultural and mythological knowledge of the references to Hellios the personification of the sun.
(Thinks on it a bit more)
Nope, there's no excuse, at least there sure as hell shouldn't be for Tarnish. Helianthus- sun flowers is one of the most common genus of flowers on Earth and is an easy and immediate source for Celestia to choose as an alias without having to try too hard on her disguise.
(Thinks on it yet some more)
Then again, this isn't Earth. The helianthus genus might not be that common or even incredibly rare on this world and thus her nickname is a subtle clue but not one so obvious everyone will immediately just say, "Yep, that's Celestia."
(Thinks way too hard on this one subject)
Although, all of my musings might be pointless if Helianthus is an actual pony who's working for Celestia and not Celestia herself and it's just been so long since I read chapters with her that I've forgotten she was her own character.
Okay. I'm done now.
I know the secrets ya'll be talking about hoho.
Nice chapter!

No. Wrong.
It is a comparison of power levels. It has nothing to do with ascension.
I just thought of something. Is Flurry Heart a Greater Alicorn like Celestia and Luna because she was born one or a lesser one like Twilight and Cadence?
7641129
Swans explains this so I don't have to.
Hmm. I'm guessing they are Nightmare moon turned good and given a body, and the equivalent for Celestia!
...Was that literal or metaphoical?
And i got a new ide. Helianthus will be the one who dies.
7641039
... Was that legit? Is that it? I see no sarcasm, and sense no treachery...
If that is it, than shit! Not one of us guessed it, and that is an very interesting idea. Plus, your "it is her/it isn't her" now makes sense. And my new "who will die" guess may just be right.
7641328 If it's not Helianthus, I think one of the few characters here we haven't seen appear in a later story might actually be Maledico...everyone else has to not die for the sake of continuity (short of death followed by easy resurrection). But has anyone seen Maledico in the later stories?
I'm certain the answer is not going to be "[the escaped part of] Grogar dies". Because that would just be pure, absolute trolling from Kudzu for the last month...
7641436 you know, i feel like kudz would do something like that. If so, I'm going to be upset.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
If I had to make a no holds barred guess about Helianthus I would say she is actually Celestia's earth pony third, split from her with some astral tomfoolery.
Special Spousal Snuggles are available to couples that lack the stallion needed for Happy Husband Hugs, I understand.

hurry plz
I'm thinking Helianthus, Mellonela, and Dove (plus someone purple) are soul splits of alicorns, allowing them to live mortal lives and interact normal ponies better. Like, they merge back together and regain memories from their mortal selves when that form dies, then form a new split.
Helianthus, Mellonela, and Dove are all just the respective alicorns borrowing Clark Kent's glasses.
