About
The Twilight Sparkle Scepter, also known as the Twilicane, is a pure gold scepter topped with the head of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character Twilight Sparkle wearing a sheepish grin.
Origin
In Season 4 Episode 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, originally aired on November 23rd, 2013, the villain character Discord gives Twilight Sparkle a scepter and a royal cape while mocking her for being a princess after leaving her friends in the Everfree Forest (shown below).
Spread
After the episode aired on November 23rd, 2013, threads about it began to appear on 4chan's /mlp/ (pony) board, with the scepter first being pointed out a few hours later in a screencapture thread.[8] The first seperate thread about the scepter was launched a few hours after that,[9] quickly resulting in image macros and photoshops of the scepter.

On November 24th, the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic storyboard artist Sabrina Alberghetti posted a tweet linking to a face swapped image of Twilight Sparkle and the scepter. That same day, Alberghetti also commented on a vector of the scepter uploaded to DeviantART, saying that it was she who animated that scene.[11]
So apparently this is a thing now? You guys are nuts. http://t.co/VIH3f4vNrU
