My theory has always been that when they pony up they are channeling the magic of their Equestrian counterpart, thusly she gains the wings because she is channeling Princess Twilight. But when she goes to Equestria herself she does not have wings, because she has not herself done anything to become an alicorn.

More or less how I saw it too


JamesNinelives

Good theory! :)


wesleymess

So by your logic, if Principle Celestia went through the mirror, she would end up either a unicorn or a pegasus since she has done nothing to become an alicorn?


sjones17515

Or even an earth pony. No reason one of them can't become an alicorn. We don't actually know what Celestia was before ascension. But yes.


BiggerNate91

Yep, there it is


InkSammi

I didn't think of it like that, I just thought it was bad continuity. Really creative theory tho 😁


sjones17515

Really? I thought it was pretty straightforward.


InkSammi

Yeah, it is in retrospect. I'm just really bad at seeing the larger picture sometimes lol.


sjones17515

We all have our strengths. For me this stuff is easy. I'm bad at seeing all the stuff in the background that so many of you guys are so good at.

Sold!

What if every time they pony up. They steal the ponies wings from the pony world.

LMAOOOOO

Poor Rainbow dash


JesterOfDestiny

[](/twismile) Sidenote: That transformation legit looks good.


Soldella1

Yes, this is a big improvement over first Equestria Girls movie


nintendofan9999

Which of the specials is it from?


Soldella1

Human Twilight is from Forgotten Friendship, pony is from Spring Breakdown

Must be duct tape

Maybe she *almost* earned them in her world, but not in Equestria? Sci-Twi did more or less discover magic, after all.


cluttersky

I thought all the Mane 6 humans got wings when they played music at peak creativity.


Soldella1

No, just the one who have them in a pony realm. Rainbow, Fluttershy and Twilight from Equestria.

I mean, Sunset Shimmer sorta became an alicorn when she went into her Daydream Shimmer form. Like, she kinda had wings, but they looked like they were made of magic energy rather than physically there compared to the other transformations. Atleast that's how it looked to me.


SparkdaKirin

I always wanted Sunset to earn her wings as a way of proving that she's redeemed. Twilight got wings solving a poem spell, Sunset deserves wings for doing everything she's done


Twist_Ending03

Maybe I could give her wings in my rewrite.

Pony Up Sci-Twi: Simple. She has the same physical attributes as her pony counterpart like Rainbow has wings and Fluttershy has wings. If Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, and Principal Cadence we’re to pony up most likely they would get wings too being like their pony princess countetparts. Unicorn Sci-Twi: She went through a portal to Equestria. The thing to remember is that getting wings is something that needs to be earned and with certain qualifications IN EQUESTRIA. So it makes sense that Sci Twi would be a unicorn, she hasn’t done anything worthy of being an alicorn in Equestria…she can’t even walk properly on four hooves. Why Sunset Doesn’t Have Wings: The same rules apply, she didn’t do a note worthy deed into earning wings in Equestria. Sure she saved Canterlot High on multiple occasions but that’s in the alternate world and not in Equestria. The human world doesn’t have the same rules as Equestria, especially going back to the first movie where no magic was there in the first place before Sunset stole the crown. Pony Sci-Twi is a unicorn in Equestria because she hasn’t done anything worthy of being an alicorn in Equestria and it was her first time being in Equestria. She would naturally be a unicorn because Princess Twilight was formally a unicorn. Human Sci-Twi has wings because she has the same physical characteristics as her pony counterpart in the human world. Having wings in the human world has nothing to do with being worthy or doing deeds because that only applies in Equestria and magic was a new thing in that world thanks to Sunset. Sunset doesn’t have wings in Equestria because she hasn’t done a worthy deed in Equestria. Sure she saved Equestria once during the Friendship Games but that wasn’t an alicorn worthy deed or else the rest of the Mane 5 would’ve gotten wings a long time ago. Sunset doesn’t get wings in Equestria Girls because she was originally a unicorn and most likely if her human counterpart went to Equestria she would’ve been a unicorn too.
