Okay, there's no way on earth the alicorn thing isn't intentional anymore.

It does make you wonder how they could mess up Rarity. I mean, the mane characters aren't animated the same way as BG ponies.

Well it said spoilers so I didn't click it. I hate spoilers. :l

[up] that's the thing. They didn't mess up. They had to have done it on purpose.

Your picture is marked spoilers too.

If I remember correctly, Rarity was in the background of that particular shot so I'm assuming it's an error and they thought no one would notice.

Maybe one of the final stage animators put it in as a joke like with Derpy.

You have to admit it's one heck of a coincidence, though.

Have there been background alicorns in the non-key episodes?

I'd buy it if the alicorn in Pinkie Pride was another random backgrounder but seeing as how it's Rarity I really doubt it. This show doesn't like shaking up the status quo much.

Rarity pulling off her face and revealing she was Cadence all along would be hilarious, though.

[up]On the flipside, the fact that it's one of the main characters makes it less likely that they'll accidentally give her wings. That combined with the fact that the "animation error" alicorns have only shown up in the key episodes is a bit suspicious. Granted, it probably doesn't mean anything, but it's entirely possible that one of the animators is just doing it on purpose as a joke.

I dunno, I feel like on the scale of "Accident" and "Deliberately inserting errors to hint at future events"...

One of these things is more likely than the other.

Well, if we assume that it's a generally accepted fact in Equestria that you can wake up one day and be an alicorn then return to normal the next day, it makes sense. "Oh hey, I have a horn today. That's pretty neat."

@Kuroi: I think I'd have responded a little differently. (Wouldn't surprise me if you guys start with the Sunsoft shipping again.)

Wow, I feel great today. I made some huge strides with my art practice last night, and made some progress with my long-ish term picture project. Gilda's actually starting to look like a living thing.

Well given that it happened to Rarity, it's obviously not an accident. The question is whether it has any significance.

I was wondering, do you think Twilight can achieve her Secretariat power-up in her Alicorn state?

[up]A slight transformation power-up she got from Secretariat's Comet in the comic's first arc. It's kinda similar to Goku's Kaio-Ken power-up.
