I feel like it would take more guts to have her accept rather than reject, as one clearly changes the status quo.

I'm already pissed about it, she's my fucking favorite pony, but canonize it and I'll dump her to the bottom of the shit list like the race traitoring whore she'd be. Spike's already there.

Lets see, we got a trans gender episode, we got an incest episode, not far from trans species

If/when Spike physically grows up, they might talk about it. But since they love joking about it, I doubt anything definite will happen.
>>
I can only see them doing it if they do a time skip/what if future episode, like Simpsons does every couple of years.
But because it's pony, we won't see a middle aged, cunty Rarity ordering around a teenage looking Spike while she leaves with another colt for a 'business meeting'

So by that logic she should just accept it regardless of her own feelings on the matter because it changes the status quo.

You're no better than any liberal or feminist who decides that pushing an agenda matters more than a persons choices or feelings.

With all sincerity, go fuck yourself in the ass with a cactus OP.

Probably never gonna fucking happen either way.

McCarthy seemingly hates even dealing with the subject so getting a mature level headed episode dealing with Spike's feelings towards Rarara, no matter the outcome and it sure as hell won't be positive it unlikely.

That said I'd love to see it.
>>
>>25272112
Well McCarthy is almost gone completely. So....
>>
>>25271664
meghan doesnt have the balls to deal with it in any way, and only larson seemed to support the idea, so the odds are extremely bad.

its far more likely theyll just pull out the old clishe and a new female version of spike will appear out of fucking nowhere for plot reasons and theyll instantly hit it off, causing the issue to resolve itself.

i doubt he will even call rarity out on her bullshit of using him when it happens.

It isn't about feminism though, it is about having the guts to actually ship one of the main cast.

Dear God no. They tried that in the comics and it was fucking terrible. She was older than him so it's not like it fixed anything either.

Maybe if they use the plot but she's a bad girlfriend who is abusive and Rarity protects him by getting him out of it.

It wouldn't make any sense for her to suddenly reciprocate his feelings when she's clearly demonstrated for the entirety of the series she's not interested. A better episode (and better lesson to teach) would be one about Spike moving the fuck on, and that it's extremely unhealthy to obsess over someone for that long.
>>
>>25272326
It would be too depressing...
>>
>>25272391
No, what's depressing is that they portray it as totally fucking fine that Spike lets Rarity walk all over him just because he likes her. It's sending the wrong message. To the girls: "It's totally okay to use a guy you're not interested in if he likes you," and to the boys: "Hey, it's okay to let a bitch walk all over you as long as you like her because it'll all work out someday!"

That's not how life works. Little faggot needs to grow a spine and move the fuck on or an hero immediately.

Why not try both? Even if they don't end up together why not at least have Rarity regret losing him.

Or even just understand that it is believable that Rarity is closer to Spike than she is with the other elements. He isn't completely shafted by her.

It would take god-tier writing to make that believable after what we've already been shown. She doesn't consider him a potential romantic partner, period. They may be close but it'll never happen. She's either oblivious of the extent of his feelings for her (unlikely) or she just doesn't give a shit ("you couldn't possibly know how it feels to like someone who doesn't like you back!" - the fact she even said something like this makes it plain as day that she just doesn't see him in "that way.").

The joke was that she was so wrapped up in her crush that she wasn't thinking about what she was saying. And the writers could do it. They've done shit I didn't think possible.
>>
>>25272697

The only "impossible" things they did were toys Hasbro pushed.

Unless Hasbro suddenly starts giving a shit about the fact Spike exists it'll never happen. And thank god for that, their chemistry is fucking unexistant.
>>
Spike's interest in Rarity is superficial. He doesn't love her, he lusts after her, and is too young to understand the difference.

Rarity may care about Spike but she's squicked out by the thought of being involved with him romantically. Look at some of her facial expressions when Spike is overdoing his gushy shit.

It'll never happen.
>>
>>25272724
To be fair, does Rarity even understand what love is?
>>
>>25272735
Probably better than Spike does.
>>
>>25271664
I would commend the writers for giving a shit.
>>
>>25272756
Honestly I'd question that. Rarity seems really stunted in that area. We joke about her being a slut but in reality her ideas of love are so dated that stallions likely think she's weird before anything else. She's read too many romance novels and thinks that's how it works.

they'll just make an episode where rarity turns down spike hard and he learns to move on with his life.

>Dont you know what puppy love is?

Don't know how you can actually believe this when everything in the show says otherwise, most notably in Secret of my Excess and Simple Ways. When Spike gave Rarity his Fire Ruby, a ruby that took him months to grow, that was for his birthday for him to eat, he says that it would mean more for him to see Rarity happy than for him to eat it himself. He set aside any personal vices he had in favor for Rarity's happiness. And despite all the crap Rarity puts him through, despite his own feelings and her falling for other guy, he doesn't protest or even attempt to change her mind and stands by her side. To Spike, it has always been about Rarity's feelings and never his own. He continues to support her expecting little to no reward for himself. As far as I've seen, Spike has shown more devotion, loyalty, and commitment towards someone he cares about than actual couples do who last no longer than a few months.
He's never going to just move on because whatever crush you think he haves, has moved well beyond that. Maybe one day he can love another, but he's never going to stop loving Rarity. Even "IF" she does marry another guy, he will continue to stand by and support her, and when she's old and wrinkly, he will still believe that she is still the most beautiful mare in Equestria.
After everything he has done and shown, how is it that you can believe that his feelings are just a crush?
>>

It's a puppy crush between a child and adult that was only established to point out Rarity's beauty to the adience. It's not a serious romance that would develop over time.

>>
>>25286586
it may have started that way, but if that was the case they should have dropped it forever ago. at this point, hes had a crush on rarara for at least 1 full year, not to mention all the time he spends with her and SoME.

its a tough area since if dragons age super slow, which they suggest they do, then hes going to be a "baby" for like another 20 years. if hes intelligent, age wont mean the same thing for dragons as it does for ponies.

theyve put a lot less emphasis on "baby" dragon lately, though. maybe it means something.

No matter how much complicated your hadcanon is about his dragon maturity compared to a pony lifespan, the basic idea shared by the writers, Hasbro and most of the audience is this: Spike is a child, a kid around 10-13 years. Just look at him, he is like half the size of a "little pony". He will never get that Rarara pussy no matted how much you will try to bend the logic your way.

You can try with Discord and Fluttershy since age difference may not be a lost case in this situation. You can try with Rarijack since homosexuality may also become a part of the show canon in the future. But there is no way that Hasbro will ever approve a relationship between a 25+ woman and Dennis The Menace tier character.
>>
>>25292504
Imagine Sweetie Belle dating Trenderhoof or Applebloom dating Discord and you will see why not a single country on Earth would support this pairing if it was canon.

>>25291439

>>25271664
He's a fucking baby dragon and at least a 12 year old compared to an adult. It would be retarded unless some shifty age and size shit happened.

>>25271664
Now if this actually became canon? I don't know, I actually think it I wouldn't like it just because it sends too many messages and poor implications to kids.

There's the mentioned lack of 'give and take', but just as bad is when Spike's 'give' is 'rewarded'. It also sort of feeds the idea that "The boy must pursue the girl" and that "girls and boys can't be just friends and single".

There's just a tangled web of poor implications, honestly, and kids need to learn that, sometimes in life, you can invest 150% of yourself into something, and still fail. The important thing is to keep moving forward anyway and be willing and ready to give 150% of yourself again.

Either way, I feel that little animation did the story's intent justice.

Admittedly, as much as I am against canon shipping (and I say that as an avid shipper myself), I do think it would be funny if Spike was given an "adult form" and immediately after seeing it, Rarity's reaction was something like "Humana humana humana humana humana...!"

I think it could be about Spike feeling guilty, that she should have normal life with a colt. To allow her had offspring and get older along with her potential husband, while he could be still young.

Add the conflict from Rarity's perspective - despite her internal struggle she tries to get beyond that.

>>25293105

>>25271664
Honestly... it'd be even bolder for the writers to make Rarity reject Spike. Big problem is, it'll create a schism between the two, leading up to some awkward moments... but... from a writer's perspective, that means that this issue can be saved for a sub-plot later.
Unfortunately I think, the most I can see happening with this is Spike getting the idea to push harder for whatever reason, the intrusiveness to rise rapidly, and finally, resulting in an unbecoming outburst from Rarity, thus making her the bad guy.

Hell, even a soft rejection would be crushing for him, and would still make her look bad.

How from a writer's perspective would you get around that? Not easily that's for sure. It's a minefield.

Well, Faust seemed to think of the main six as around sixteen and once said she saw Spike as eight.

However, she said the former due to how quickly equines reach maturity (they're fully grown by the time they're like 8 as I recall).

Spike's own maturity seems to suggest him closer to a tweenager (like 12-14) in terms of our world but-

you know what? I'm gonna stop right there.
>>
>>25297574
Follow the logic

Spike not looking like an adult=not having a romance with an adult character.

Is still a boy who read comics and ask Twilight for allowance money. Stope deluding yourself that he is going to act mature anytime soon.

CMC will sooner replace their filly body model with basic adult pony model than Spike will grow up.

New guy here, if you want to take EqG as canon, the only way it makes sense is if the m6 are teens, otherwise you'd have this bizarre situation where
a) there's a huge age gap between Twilight and the rest of the group, which is highly unlikely due to the fact that they got their qt marks at the same time
b) Sunset was Celestia's student before Twilight, despite being younger than Twilight
c) there's a 20-30 year-old whose enrolled at a high school, and before you say GED, GED students are separated from the general population.

Basically, Sunset has to be younger than 18, but older than Twilight, who is about the same age as Rarity.
>>
>>25297974
>Sunset has to be younger than 18, but older than Twilight
which is odd because they make it seem like she left equestria just 3-4 years prior to EqG.

Not even director of thee FiM series think that EQG is canon or that they are teenagers.

You may as well toss examples from IDW comics and books to explain your age headcanon. Either way is shit. Just like Celestia Is not 1000 years as a principal, Twilight is not a teenager and Spike is not 4 month old like his puppy counterpart.

Just kill yourself and sage this thread.

>what happened to Luna and Celestia human version 100 years ago? Could Piny Celestia pass through a portal and become a principal before human Celestia was borned?

Not much to discuss. Anti-shippers will come up with arbitrary reasons to keep them separate, pro shippers will come up with arbitrary reasons to ship them. The show goes neither way and the biggest it ever got (and is likely to get) was with "Secret of my Excess".
That said I like it in general when they interact. Latest episode had some good examples of that (Spike running back to help up Rarity, f.ex.). It's cute, no matter which way you look at it.

And that is the difference.
There is no single Spike episode where he doesn't fall into every category.

Please, please, prove me wrong. I want to be wrong about this, I want for there to be a moment when Spike is on screen it it isn't immediately before, or immediately after he is shit.

>Anti-shippers
Stop trying to be a victim, and stop saying those who point out a ship being shitty aren't shippers themselves.
>Pic related is a far better Spike ship because they are of the same age, they have some decent interactions with each other, and it would fit in both, Sweetie's character arc of getting out from under her sister's shadow and Spike's arc of growing up by learning the difference between loving a girl for her character rather than her looks.

And before you say shit, I know Rarity has character and isn't just a sexy bitch, but you have to know that Spike only fell for her because he was hot.

Spike is fine, Rarity is fine, Sparity is shit and will always be shit.

No. Just no. The difference in how Sweetie Belle behaves and how Spike behaves is miles. Sweetie Belle feels like an actual fucking child. She goes to school and does silly little school adventures. Spike runs around in Canterlot on his own and meets people like Hoity Toity.
And yeah, Spike fell for Rarity because she's hot, duh, but I REALLY doubt he'd still pine for her after all this time if that was all he'd be interested in. Usually when you just crush on someone you build this idealized version in your mind and stop crushing as soon as reality comes knocking on your door. If you really think that Spike, after having seen Rarity at her best and worst over the course of 5 fucking seasons is still only interested in her looks and doesn't give a shit about her as a person, you're full of fucking shit.

Spike doesn't go to school because of Book Horse, he meets all those important characters because of his ties to Book Horse and Sun horse, the reason he can't let go of his crush is because he's still a child.

>>25299944
Your numbers lie.
Their difference in behavior are those between young girls and boys.
They both go on adventures.
They both go to Canterlot on their own.
They both meet celebrities, or does Sapphire Shores not count for some reason?

And of course he gives a shit about her as a person, but you have to be full of shit if you think that is enough for a fucking relationship.
If Spike fell for Sweetie, or fuck any of the girls HIS AGE it wouldn't be based on them being literally the hottest thing in the tri-city area, it would be based exclusively on their character.

Nigga that's the fucking BASIS of a relationship. If you didn't care for someone as a person you wouldn't want to spend your fucking time around them. A relationship is all about spending time with the other person.
>based on them being literally the hottest thing in the tri-city area, it would be based exclusively on their character.
What the fuck? Are you seriously arguing that because Spike fell for Rarity based on her looks at first, it's fucking superficial and irrelevant? One cannot be into somebody because of their looks AND their character?

I think Anon is talking about when he caused the Breezies to blow off course. Which honestly was an overreaction on his part, and no one but the asshole Breezies blamed him for it.

It was less that he got caught doing something wrong and more that he just felt really bad.

>>25300817
Well we also have the interesting dynamic of Spike now being kind of wedged with the mane6 dynamic and the CMC dynamic.

It would be interesting to see Apple Bloom either wanting Spike to occasionally tag along on their CMC adventures and Apple Bloom would want to tag along on Spike's adventures as well.

We'd likely see the awkward conflict of Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo wondering if they should bother tagging along whenever Spike is doing princess business, mane6 business, or general Equestria business.
>>
>>25300770
Now that would be an interesting character dynamic change to explore.
>>
>>25300238
You're putting words in my mouth.

I'm saying that Spike liking Rarity a whole lot doesn't make a relationship between them, there is more to a relationship than love.
Can he support her emotionally?
Can he support her mentally?
Can he realistically understand and help her with the types of problems she'd have as a mare and fashion designer?
No on all counts because no matter how much he may wuv her, he will never relate to her on her level because he is just a kid with a crush.
And because his attraction was based exclusively on how hot Rares helping her as an equal never even crossed his mind.

On the other hand with the fillies, he is on their level mentally, emotionally. If the CMC are having a problem in school, or with any other problem they would face as fillies and Cutie Mark Crusaders he could help a great deal without it seeming like an asspull. And because the attraction would be based on who the filly is, how he could be a supportive partner would be on his mind. Maybe not the first thing since he is a kid, but still we wouldn't have episodes upon episodes of him spilling pasta because they're so fucking hot.

yeah it's sort of weird how the show never seems to acknowledge rarity's treatment of spike as wrong. I've seen a few of my male friends get lead on it and it always sucks to see, you try to tell them they're being taken advantage of and they just won't hear of it

I like the idea of Sparity mainly because Spike is, in my opinion, a pretty good match for Rarity - she just doesn't see it.

And no I'm not a guy self inserting myself into Spike's shoe's because I thirst over a woman that keeps going for guys that aren't her type. I'm actually in Rarity's position and recently saw the fucking light.

I just feel like when he's aged up a bit and he's consoling her over another failed date she'll slowly start to fall for him. She'll probably be conflicted beyond fuck due to the species difference and the fact he is younger than her, but then she'll realise he's everything she wants in a man and that doesn't matter.

I find not only the idea of Sparity as a couple interesting, but everything that surrounds it.

Rarity is, simply put, a fame whore and can you imagine if suddenly she was frowned upon by a large group of people for being with a dragon romantically? I doubt she's a bitch and would just break up with Spike simply for that reason, but she would certainly have some internal conflict about it.

Hell his connections with the princess could even cause some conflict with the royal authorities and general public. What about the main six? Would they agree with it. I want to say Applejack would probably be against it but that's quite edgy and stereotypical of me

Then we have potential offspring, don't even get me started on what their kids would experience. Your parent/'s being part of the Elements of Harmony can only get you so much fame, I imagine some people would be disgusted at the pony/dragon hybrid.

This all interests me immensely, but I still want them to be happy.

to be honest, for a while a reason why I liked Sparity so much was because in my head it was a way for Spike to get away from Twilight and live his own life without her essentially using him as a slave

but then I remembered Rarity essentially does the same thing to him but instead of books it's needles and thread

Spike is literally Jerry, poor guy can't catch a break
>>
Why the fuck would anyone like Sparity? Besides the age difference, and besides the species difference, do any of you guys think of the implications, the moral?
>you should devote years of life to a girl who blatantly uses you so that one day she *might* give you a pity kiss or something?
Would you want your kids to see something like that? It's the epitome of being a beta bitch, and I'm not using "beta" in the "trendy internet buzzword" sense, I mean it literally.

Ideally, in Simple Ways, after Rarity said what she did to Spike, instead of giving the camera a wacky-go-lucky "sure sucks to be me!" look, he should've just said the PG equivalent of "fuck this I'm out", without Rarity even noticing or caring. That would be a resolution that's both satisfying, subtle (implying the writers give enough of a fuck to devote a whole episode to this) and accurate to Rarity's character

cuz shes been so good in the department of treating any male with any dignity. even if his only interest was in her body, hed be less shallow than her as he doesnt knowingly use people.

hes mentally about the same as twilight, even talking her through her own problems. the only instances he acts otherwise are the OOC episodes that everyone thinks are shit.

hes easily on the same level as any adult mentally, which should be expected from a dragon. but none of that really matters because in 5-10 years in their world there wont be any question whether or not hes old enough. even if they dont directly air it, if its not resolved before the series ends then it remains a possibility.

You do realize you sound about as bad as a SJW saying "Educate yourself!" when they get called out.

As you are being called out, it's your responsibility to provide proof. Are you going to do that, or are you just going to bitch that people are derailing, despite that's not what's happening at all?

Now do you have anything to back up your claims that Spike has emotionally and mentally supported Rarity? Because all I recall is Inspiration Manifestation, where his idea of "supporting" her made things worse for her.

Why are you so angry? Holy shit, take a chill pill.

>someone made a bullshit claim,
The "bullshit" was a claim that Spike could not emotionally take care of Rarity. All you said was"He has". The burden of proof falls on YOU to back up YOUR claim that this is true. Until that happens, he is right. You have not proven anything, and all you're doing is screaming "EDUCATE YOURSELF!" like some tumblr child.

> if anything, it falls to the faggot who made the original claims, dontcha think?
The original claim was that Spike could not. As you say he could, the burden of proof is yours. You have to back up your words with a citation that he could. Especially for the person to say "No, that's not true because a b and c."

>would it be too much of a stretch to think people who actually really like spike would pay more attention to what he does?
If you pay attention so much, why is it so difficult for you to back up a claim to convince me to believe why you are right? Not to mention, I even gave a claim about how Inspiration Manifestation was an example how he couldn't. As I chimed in with one example after the other guy gave the initial claim, it's now your turn. It's been your turn.

>you sound like a faggot who hasnt the slightest clue what hes trying to argue about.
You really have no idea what's going on, do you?

Let me give you some advice. Go calm down before you start screaming and make more of a fool of yourself here. Then once you've finished your tantrum, come back here and give an example as to how Spike has satisfied Rarity emotionally and mentally. All you need to do is back up one for each. Shouldn't be so hard since you claim there is so much of it happening in the series, is there?

I have. As I have claimed, I see no evidence of it in the show. As I mentioned, the closest I found was Inspiration Manifestation, when Spike attempted to help Rarity, only to fuck things up even more. The burden of proof is in your court now. If you continue to say "Go watch the show!" that only just proves you have no idea what you're talking about, and should essentially give up. Really, don't make yourself look any worse. Because it's clear you have no idea how this is supposed to work.

>he cant do it
>but he already has
>WELL PROVE IT

You say that like it's supposed to be weird that you need to back up your claim?

For example, you say Dislestia isn't canon. I'll chime in and respond saying it is canon. Who has the responsibility to prove the point? I do. I have the case to make. Saying "It's not canon" isn't the case.

Now do you have anything you'd like to assert, or are you just going to keep saying it's there despite evident proof to the contrary?

>you cant say stupid shit and expect others to prove you wrong and think youre right until they do.

All I did was ask that you back up your claim. Which, oddly enough, you seem to be having a very difficult time doing! And what's being spoken about is something much deeper than "Twilight can't use magic".

*tips fedora*

If you love arguing so much, why is it so difficult for you to back up a simple point without trying to shift things all over the place, with re-directions like I should just watch the show, when I've already presented possible cases and in which it is incorrect. Now, are you going to provide a single example of Spike emotionally and mentally satisfying Rarity, or are you going to just keep going to say things about me?

Here, let me give you your next bullet. This is an image from Star Wars, why don't you set up your next ad hom based on how I'm a shitposter from /tv/ and how I should go back to posting Star Wars memes there?

So, I'm asking you directly, what is a single instance of Spike emotionally satisfying Rarity, and mentally satisfying her? Because I must be blind, because I've been watching the series since 2011 and I don't see a damn thing other than what people project from their fanfictions.

>>25304096
Now was that so difficult? You didn't list moments, but whatever, clearly I won't get any better than that.

>Secret of My Excess
Spike never did anything to emotionally or mentally satisfy her. Giving a gift is not that. And it certainly wasn't romantic.

>Simple Ways
Doesn't make sense. Spike had a throwaway joke and in no way attempted to emotionally satisfy her in that episode. Did you even watch that one? She went nuts in the 3rd act. He contributed nothing.

>Inspiration Manifestation
It's clear your shitposting at this point, I've already addressed this. His attempt to make her better, made the situation far worse, pretty much nearly allowing her to destroy Ponyville.

I'm afraid none of that holds up. But I do believe you'll just keep shitposting away, and I should be in part to blame as I keep responding. But if you sincerely believe this, then I do feel sorry for you and your delusional little world. Watch out for Reality, hear he's a meanie.

I don't get his mindset in regards to spike. Does he not see dragons as equal beings in his head so he's more of a pet/assistant to him?

That's weird, I always sort of preferred the friend/younger brother type role for him. I know he's certainly treat more like an assistant for the most part, but it's still nice to imagine that there is an underlying bond. Like what we saw in that recent Christmas episode.

I don't know, just something about him refusing to write him as nothing more than an assistant and recently a 'friend' rubs me the wrong way. I mean I know Spike isn't real but come on, have a heart Larson.

>Spike never did anything to emotionally or mentally satisfy her. Giving a gift is not that. And it certainly wasn't romantic.
Everything about those sentences is wrong. Spike gave her the ruby because he wanted to see Rarity happy (emotionally and mentally satisfied). Giving it did just that, and if giving the one you love a heart-shaped ruby and receiving a kiss for it isn't romantic to you, I don't know what to say.
>in no way attempted to emotionally satisfy her in that episode
He went along with all her ridiculous plans of setting up the second fashion show and going for the "farmer" angle. It can be safely assumed she got emotional satisfaction from that.
>Inspiration Manifestation
Results do not negate the intentions. He wanted to help her and he did. Rarity felt better for it, even though it eventually turned for the worse. But then he helped her again by breaking the spell and proving he'd still be there for her.
And never mind all the little moments in which he carries something for her, lets himself be used as a living pincushion or similar.

>>25305831
He was apologetic in a recent interview and wanted to give Spike a bigger role in the series. He even realizes that fans would like Spike to be considered a part of Twilight's family.

This is from a guy that already does justice to him.
>>
>>25305831
He usually does Spike justice though.
>>
>>25304256
I think in 'Inspiration Manifestation', what >>25304096 (after SO much coercion and arm-twisting) was trying to get at (at least I hope), was that it's not so much the results of Spike trying to help that mattered, it was his intentions that do. (Seriously to that guy... you can't just disagree with someone, and support your claim or argument with "Look it up" while not trying to limit the things they'd have to look through... It's like a fanatic reader of a long comic book series telling another who disagreed with him on something to "look it up"... there's too much material to look through to pin-point the evidence he's thinking of, and... it especially provides no unique individual perspective that would have explained why or how he created his head-canon in the first place!)

Anyhow... he saw Rarity was upset that her contribution to the fair wasn't going to be used, and wasn't sure she could possibly make something else in time. (Whether or not she could have was irrelevant, she was so beside herself that she probably wouldn't have been able to do so anyhow.)

So... Spike decided to look for a magical solution. Good intentions, but implementation could have been better... since... you know... he lived with who at the current moment can be considered the most-up-to-date individual in regards to anything magical in Equestria...

So there's a certain thought process there, this "I was able to help all by myself, and look how much she likes me now" sort of thing. (At least... in my mind.)

Then of course, things start going bad, and Spike feigns support... even to the point where Rarity converted the Town Hall into solid crystal and endangered 2 ponies who were still inside when that happened! (I'm not sure if they were embedded within the crystal, or merely trapped within.)

You seriously have deluded yourself into thinking that women act on emotions so that they won't hurt anyone's feelings. Grow up bud, because you sound like your a twelve year old kid that has no idea how women fucking work.
>>
>>25306073
>and receiving a kiss for it isn't romantic to you,
Kisses aren't always romantic you autist. Have you never seen someone kiss someone before as a thank you without it having romantic undertones? I'm assuming if you've ever seen a movie about a mafia family, you probably think everyone is romantically in love.

>He went along with all her ridiculous plans of setting up the second fashion show and going for the "farmer" angle. It can be safely assumed she got emotional satisfaction from that.
Except those plans were clearly not the right thing for her. If a child is begging to eat nothing but candy all day, is it the right thing to do to give them that? Of course not. And if that's what you do, you're a shitty parent.

>Results do not negate the intentions. He wanted to help her and he did. Rarity felt better for it, even though it eventually turned for the worse. But then he helped her again by breaking the spell and proving he'd still be there for her.
Again, see above. If the intention results in something clearly not good for the individual, then the intention doesn't matter, as you would clearly not be someone good for that person. And so, Spike has proven that he's not even in love with Rarity and wants what's best for her, he's just infatuated with her, and just wants her happy no matter what. Two EXTREMELY different things, and one is not good for love at all.

>And never mind all the little moments in which he carries something for her, lets himself be used as a living pincushion or similar.
That is not in any way emotional or mental satisfaction.
>>
the autism in this thread is beyond anything that can be found on the campus of ucla
>>
>>25306802

Anyhow, he was more worried about the potential consequences of being honest about his disapproval that he'd let that incident slide, right alongside the unwilling conversion of other's belongings too.

So... he doesn't want to see the person he likes to be unhappy... but he especially didn't want that person to be unhappy towards him, regardless of the good that could have came as a result of that.

And... that's all in that particular case. (Also a reminder that Spike was in fact, used as a pincushion at some point.)

So... childish? Not necessarily. Mature? Not there either. He's really more... confusing.

And to end my input (at least for now)... bearing in mind that >>25293289 was also from me... while the pairing is cute at times, and while Rarity, having a skill for gem finding, would be a strong positive for Spike... I can't possibly imagine the ship could ever really sail. It's not so much a physical age thing, it's a mental one too.

I just don't think Spike is really all that developed yet for someone who actually has a decent grasp of herself (and this is Rarity we're talking about too).

Now, a pairing with him and one of the CMC's though (which one I haven't decided yet)? That would probably work out better, and I never thought about it before until going through this thread!

assistant isnt a demeaning term. shes supposedly been studying quite a bit and spike is there to help and learn alongside her.
i actually really like that hes been stuck with her and her constant need for knowledge. since dragons live thousands of years, i can easily see him taking what twilight has taught him and becoming one of the wisest and most intelligent creatures to ever exist.

False equivalent. Spike had no way of knowing that the book would actually be bad for Rarity.

he gave it to her because he cares about her more than himself. you can see it hurt him directly after when hes on the verge of tears, but then with a kiss hes reminded why he did it.

Spike eventually came to know about the book and what it was doing and did nothing at first which I... I'm pretty sure I touched up on here at >>25306914.

And not to mention the entire thing makes Rarity look like some prize for Spike to win as she's clearly out of his league. And she's clearly not caring for him as much as he does for her. Notice how she treated him the same as Owlicious, when giving them a gift.
>>
Why do none of the threads with ships that have zero basis in the show dont get nearly as much as no fun allowed fags? Is it because Sparity has this this tiny sliver of possibility in the canon (even if its one sided) that it makes the autists come out of the woodworks?

Ok, assuming you're the same guy as >>25306875

Just some hypothetical scenario, because I have no idea what you want anymore.
>>
>>25307587
If you remember the delivery guy from the mystery episode he wasn't thrilled about it either.
But it was considered a success because he did what she wanted
>>
>>25307913
I mentioned it before. Emotional and mental satisfaction is the ability to take care of someone with what is best for them in mind, not what exactly they want. I mentioned it before, Spike has demonstrated he is infatuated with Rarity, not in love. Now, that's not to say it has to be perfect, but Spike has continuously just done spur of the moment things in an attempt to make Rarity happy in the moment, but instead has made things far worse.

Examples.
>Simple Ways, fed into her insane and irrational behavior
>Suited for Success, didn't bother to check with Rarity and just invited Hoity Toity in an attempt to please her, but that made things worse.
>Inspiration Manifestation, gave her a cursed book and fed her insane desires.
>Was nowhere to be found in Rarity Takes Manehattan when she clearly needed support.

Now, to please you, I'll give you examples how that could have been changed to actually satisfy emotional and mental needs.

>Simple Ways, if he actually bothered to attempt to snap her out of her behavior, without inserting his own love.
>Suited for Success, had he actually asked her permission, and while he may have been unaware the dresses were shit, he didn't need to invite him on a whim. He also could have helped snap her out of her distress. Which, again, he did not. Her other friends had to do that, he was unavailable.
>Inspiration Manifestation speaks for itself, the entire episode was his fault, and if he just attempted to speak her out of it, and not try to make her happy, that would have avoided everything.
>Rarity Takes Manehattan, again, he should have been around as she was at a low. He was even in Manehattan, where was he?

All this clearly demonstrates my point of how Spike is merely infatuated with Rarity, and doesn't truly love for her. In a way, making him no different than most other waifufags.

And how do you assess what is best for them? Sure, in hindsight it's easy to say this and this could've been done. But in that precise moment, you can only go with gut feeling. So no, it doesn't demonstrate jack shit, other than you putting unrealistic expectations on Spike.

Why do you want me to talk about that? I don't think SpikexSweetie Belle is canon, and there certainly is barely any character interaction to back that up.

>And how do you assess what is best for them? Sure, in hindsight it's easy to say this and this could've been done. But in that precise moment, you can only go with gut feeling. So no, it doesn't demonstrate jack shit, other than you putting unrealistic expectations on Spike.
When someone is clearly acting insane, or clearly upset, and you act upon a gut instinct to make them better, yes, that is a problem.

But hey, I guess it is unrealistic to expect that of Spike! Because he's a fucking child and has no business in romance with an adult anyway because he literally cannot do jack shit.

>>
I think Fluttercord is more justified and fleshed out than Sparity. Their relationship contain both a lot of arguing along with getting along. While Sparity is mostly Spike acting like dumbass to impress her and Rarity taking advantage of him. I see no equal partnership between them. Probably because of unequal social status (adult businesspony/little boy)
>>
>>25308601
I personally don't like Fluttercord, but I do agree that it is much easier to argue how that is possible than Sparity. It's definitely clearer that there could be a relationship there, rather than one just finding the other hot.
>>
>>25308523
You killed yourself in your own post.
In Lesson Zero Spike tried to calm Twilight down using rational arguments, and then called Celestia read:A FUCKING ADULT to handle it.

In Castle sweet castle, he trusted her friends to fix what was wrong with Twilight, and shared her pain with her, while she mutually shared in his.

Spike handled Twilight's situations worlds better because he knows and cares for Twilight as a person exclusively, and not as boner-fuel first person second.
>>
>>25308601
This. Main problem is that they don't treat eahother as equals. Spike put her on pedestal like she was a godess instead of a friends. Rarity is patronising him and it kill any romatnic implication. When she bought him a carrot dog in Manehattan, it felt like some older auntie bought him a candy. I can't see them as a legitimate romantic pairing.

When you go to the carnival and see a 25 y old woman with a 10 old kid holding hands, you asume that they are siblings or that she got pregnant as a teen and he is her son. You don't really see them as a pair on a date and it's wierd that sparity fans see it differently.
>>
>>25308661
Thanks, that pretty much covers what I was going to say. In fact, if anything that makes even worse of a case for Sparity as it shows Spike can handle a situation maturely, he just never does so with Rarity.

>>25308523
>how should you act? is there a manual for helping people who are upset in different ways? as far as i know, the 'only' way to act when trying to help someone who is emotionally distressed is to do what feels right.
Except what "feels right", isn't always right. Spike clearly demonstrated that numerous times. It feels right to give the kid what he wants and let him eat candy all day. You can't help another person on an instinct, you need to actually think over what's best for them. Not what makes them happy at that second.
>>
>>25308661
celestia just reaffirmed what spike had already told her, and was the center of twilights worry. of course shes going to calm down when the person shes worried about tells her shes not angry. dont be so fucking dense.

spike liked the new castle, she didnt, but he understood enough to try to help her friends help her. they all played their part.

you act like just because he thinks shes beautiful hes incapable of being emotionally attached. thats a really fucking shallow view.
>>
>>25308479
>you act upon a gut instinct to make them better, yes, that is a problem.
Oh, this is rich. I guess the correct way to go about it is to map out every possible consequence and calculate the possibilities of each outcome before acting, right?

>>25308661
>Spike handled Twilight's situations worlds better because he knows and cares for Twilight as a person exclusively, and not as boner-fuel first person second.
Nice projecting. Spike handles Twilight better cause he's known her his whole life and knows how she ticks. He's still getting to know Rarity. Spike and Twilight have an established close relationship, Spike and Rarity do not. Mistakes are allowed.
>>25308763

which is still based on instinct. theres no objectively right or wrong way to help anyone. if i asked you how to deal with a disobedient child, how many different answers do you think id get? how many of those would be from people who think what theyre doing is whats best for the kid?

what feels right is what everyone does, no matter how much they think about it.

>>25308806
>celestia just reaffirmed what spike had already told her, and was the center of twilights worry. of course shes going to calm down when the person shes worried about tells her shes not angry. dont be so fucking dense.
What are you saying? How is he dense for saying that? Spike realized that he was not equipped to handle Twilight's little tantrum, and so called upon someone who actually could. Rather than giving in to Twilight and giving her what she wanted that second, like "Oh yeah, go force a friendship problem on someone."

>spike liked the new castle, she didnt, but he understood enough to try to help her friends help her. they all played their part.
You're just backing up what he's saying still.

>you act like just because he thinks shes beautiful hes incapable of being emotionally attached. thats a really fucking shallow view.
But he continuously proves, over and over, that he is not able to handle Rarity emotionally, and really only acts the way he does because she's beautiful. Spike tries to spoil her and blindly follows anything she does. That's not love at all, nor is it emotional attachment. Spike has not, and does not, "love" Rarity.
>>
>>25308601
You're kidding. Discord turns into a jealous child when Fluttershy is involved. He's debatable less mature than Spike and he's what, immortal and older than Celestia?
>>
>>25308806
No he is definitely attached emotionally to Rarity, but all the proven reason he has goes out the window as soon as she comes into play.
That is why he knows, and is willing to let those who are older handle things with Twilight when things get out of hand and why he needs to do everything to help Rarity. Regardless of it actually helping or not.

Spike doesn't have gut reactions when it comes to Twilight's well being, but he does with Rarity. That is the plain truth.

Spike does "love" Rarity, but he cannot look past that "love" to even think that those who relate to her more could be of more help like he does with Twilight.
>>
>>25308879
Well I'm Inspiration Maniefestation he was aware of the damage being done to Rarity, he was just afraid of the conflict of trying to fix it. It was less that he understood it and more that he didn't know how to do something that would upset Rarity even if it was for the best. Hence the lesson.
>>
>>25308836
>Oh, this is rich. I guess the correct way to go about it is to map out every possible consequence and calculate the possibilities of each outcome before acting, right?
You're clearly setting up a strawman, but yes. You have to deal with someone who is in emotional distress rationally.

>Nice projecting. Spike handles Twilight better cause he's known her his whole life and knows how she ticks. He's still getting to know Rarity. Spike and Twilight have an established close relationship, Spike and Rarity do not. Mistakes are allowed.
This is pathetic. Saying he's still getting to know Rarity, after years of knowing her? It's infatuation, get over it.

>As do others. Again, you're singling out Spike to confirm your own bias. Nicely going.
I don't understand, we're singling out Spike because the topic IS Spike, what's the fucking problem? Stop acting like the victim where everyone attacks Spike.

>which is still based on instinct. theres no objectively right or wrong way to help anyone. if i asked you how to deal with a disobedient child, how many different answers do you think id get? how many of those would be from people who think what theyre doing is whats best for the kid?
Fair enough, but there still is a point where acting on a certain instinct is in fact wrong. And Spike has acted on many bad instincts many times, with and without Rarity involved. But then again, he's still a kid. So it's to be expected, but proof that he's not able to deal with this.

he did handle it. when twilight wouldnt listen to reason, he got in contact with celestia to let her know that twilight was freaking out about her. it was the right way to fix the situation.

rarity cant even handle rarity emotionally. shes a literal drama queen. however, he gives her the emotional support she needs, even if she doesnt realize it yet.
>and really only acts the way he does because she's beautiful

he sees her as incredibly beautiful because he cares about her. why do you think all of his visions of her are over dramatized? he literally sees her as a princess and himself as her knight.

Being a manchild is just his personality. Fluttershy still treat him as an equal friend like all of the mane6. She doesn't cut him slack or treat him like some old uncle or as a baby. Likewise Discord doesn't treat her as mother, daughter or any other special figure. Just as female friend.

>>25311335
>age difference
The biggest problem between them is simple incompatibility.

Nobody seems to think about Rarity's perspective when this ship comes up because unless she is sad and desperate for love it cannot fucking work.

Ask one simple question, what is Rarity attracted to?
If you answered attractive older stallions of prestige or pedigree, give yourself a cookie, you're right.
If you answered anything else, give yourself a cookie, you're wrong but mom made fresh cookies!

That is the biggest problem with Sparity, nothing about Spike save for his devotion even slightly endears himself to Rarity.
He is small, chubby, dependent, gluttonous, power hungry, conniving, irresponsible, and arrogant.

The only traits he has going for him is a decent measure of courage, and a form of nobility in his dragon code the one time that was brought up.

All shitposting, all insulting, all projecting, and all implying aside, Rarity just wouldn't like Spike like that, because she doesn't like the kind of person he is.

There's another angle to this too, Spike wouldn't challenge her. Spike wouldn't stand up to her when she's wrong, or argue his point of view when they had a disagreement. When you're lovestruck and naive like Spike is, you'd see this as a positive, when really its a negative. So even if you took away the prestige and pedigree of Fancy Pants, say, she'd still find him a better mate then Spike, for the simple reason that he is confident in what he says. Rarity seeks out the upper crust because they tend to have more successful individuals. Like it or not, success and ego go hand in hand, and Rarity needs someone with her ambition to keep pushing her.

Spike would let Rarity make the shittiest dress on earth and still tell her it was beautiful because she made it. He'd be convinced that saying the right thing is more important than the truth. The novelty of that wears off quickly, and she'd grow bored of him. The real test would be if Spike learned from his mistake or grew bitter.

It doesn't matter that it was a spell. The lesson that he learned applied to more than just that.

You can't really discount the lesson he learned in the episode because it was extreme. It was a major part of their relationship, whatever it is, growing and him maturing.

>>25313144
Romance, Heroics, and being a gentleman are more important to her than any of those things, Spike had no qualms throwing himself in harms way to protect her from the Diamond Dogs, you can tell he's a romantic, and it definitely acts like he has more prestige than any of the other stallions she's falling for, in fact he has MORE prestige than any of them combined, he's the fucking hero of the Crystal Empire, they even have a statue dedicated to him. So gtfo, kid, you lost.

Yeah, I don't think that's Spike or Rarity. Neither of them are really grounded in reality to say the least. We're talking about the mare that literally WOULD want to run a charity for giving mares dresses if she could and actually TRIED to.
>>
>>25314777
Is there any stories of them trying to date and realizing it wouldn't work? Like the date is boring, the conversation is dull because they know everything about each other, and the end result is they both want out but neither wants to be the one to do it because they're worried about the other party?

If not I kinda wanna try my hand at it. I feel like its one of those angles people don't consider as much (as opposed to 'they're perfect!' or 'she's a cunt and won't date him')
>>
>>25314805
Actually I've seen people who don't like Spike or Rarity as characters explain that they're perfect for each other. It's an angle that doesn't come up much because the people who LOVE Rarity just tend to hate Spike and people who like Spike like Rarity usually. The people that tend to not like either always mention how Spike and Rarity are awful people who only work well when they're together. When they're with anyone else, they're an annoyance/drain/buzzkill. Think about it. Spike is a snarky asshole, naive, and uncomfortably blunt whether he's aware of it or not. Rarity is a drama queen, (even if she grew out of the fainting couch) incredibly touchy, picky, unconnected from reality, and vain.

In these minds, they "deserve" each other because no one else should have to suffer with them.

Again, I'm not so sure. I think that they've both led pretty interesting lives and they'd have a lot to talk about.

>>25289250

Even though it'd never happen because gay and soccer moms. Something like Rarijack or FlutterDash would be the best options for the "on again off again" relationship type.
>>
>>25303675

Most Sparity shippers come off as primarily fans of Spike who believe Rarity owes him or something. At least to me.
>>
>>25318726
And most of the sparity shipper artists are actually women/girls. Quite interesting if you ask me...
>>
>>25318764

That's the case for most of the big ships.

Rarijack, AppleDash, etc all basically have female most prominent shippers.
>>
>>25271664

Cause I don't particularly care for Spike much and Rarity has better dynamics with characters like Applejack and Fluttershy anyway, and the one with her and Dash has a lot of potential if they don't abandon it again. Obviously because of cultural outrage a F/F ship is even more unlikely to happen but If I like those dynamics more Id rather see them regardless.
>>
>>25318764
The same for dislestia, teenaged girls.
>>
I don't like Sparity but I respect it's shippers for being quite possibly the most prolific at producing content in the fandom.

Seriously compared to the Rarijackers other than White Diamonds which is basically Rarity's only other relevant ship those people are just machines, they churn out art and fic and unlike Rarijacks writers are actually capable of finishing things longer than one shots.

>>25318857
Rarijack is still incredibly shitty though, one of those terrible "opposites match!" pairings. Their schtick got old, and LBYS is their only good episode together, wverything else was lousy.
>>
>>25318922

At least there is a known dynamic there that's changed over time unlike shit like AppleDash where the characters practically never even speak to each other.
>>
>>25318922
theyre not really opposites. one isnt afraid to get dirty to get the job done, the other does so more delicately. they both take great pride in their work.
>>
>>25318962

The only real complete opposites are Rainbow and Fluttershy. They are basically friends cause they've always been friends but they don't really have anything they relate much on.
>>
>>25318962
Doesn't change it's a boring, pleb pairing.
>>
>>25318922

I liked Simple Ways a lot more than LBYS.

Also even if it was repetitive their bit is practically the only enjoyable part of Trade Ya.

>mfw whole discussion
What is the problem of resolving Spike's affection?
- At this point I don't really care if the idea of pairing those two is actually is good at all. It sure has some pros and cons to consider. But it's fucking bothering that show don't want to dwell with another episode and eventually finish it one way or another.
- I'd honestly would love to see each of the scenarios in condition it's just written in good, believable way.
- For instance, Gravity Falls made it in second season with a friendly talk and no drama or spaghetti drop. And no one was blamed about that, because it was just, you know, normal thing.

And back to MLP with that question. Most probably, it's just the writers being lazy?
Show and comic hardly dwells on some interesting questions which had been arisen during the seasons:
- AJ parents (because implied implications of implied implications is not enough)
- Spike's life before Ponyville (Larson's suggestion of him being only assistant during Canterlot is even more interesting, that corny "muh adopted brother"); or how is he related to Twilight and her family
- some other stuff which I cannot recall

Instead they delivered some disastrous Spike-centric episodes, which could easily focus on more interesting matters.

Therefore, I don't think the "sparity" thing is the only thing here to argue. I'd rather complain about staff. Hopefully, we can hope that all the suggestions might be finally considered more than ever.
>>
>>25319151
Problem is that if they write something definite, it restricts what they can do.
>>
>>25319189
Oh right. And then idiotic formula of "will or won't they" is spanned in course of many seasons.
A classic recipe for many sitcoms with romantic stuff.
>>
>>25319151
hasbro isnt going to let them answer the hard questions because hasbro is convinced kids cant handle anything real. its why tank didnt die, its why AJs parents and scootaloos parents will never be mentioned, and so on.

they act like no kid has ever had to deal with loss before. i remember when i was 11 or so i lost my first dog that was only mine to parvo while he as still a puppy. ive never cried like that before, and theres nothing wrong with them acknowledging that these things exist.

Good. It's retarded, and that kind of thing is overdone anyway. We don't need any "finale", just don't address it. It's just been written out at this point, because it only existed as a tool to sell Rarity's beauty in the first place.

I'm not from US, but I've managed to get some lecture about children's TV programs.
For instance:
- pic rel
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NjFbz6vGU8

So what's the deal with showing such stuff? Or the mentality from pre-2000 ceased to exist?
But that's the other thing to discuss here.

Age Difference between Discord and Fluttershy may gross out some people but it's not a degeneracy and is not something to really censor in a cartoon.
Age difference between Rarity and Spike will not be accepted in the South Korea or Sweden. Is just too fucked up to have a real life /ss/ going on. And is basically what Sparity stand for.
>>
>>25319396
>>25319418
People have a specific aversion to "very special episodes" and cartoons trying to teach super heavy lessons now because it was very poorly done in the past. Stilted drug/death PSAs and shit.

Unless it's about LGBT related stuff, people laugh at it... and any sensible person laughs at attempts at LGBT activism in children's cartoons too, because they're self servicing pablum designed for adults to asspat other adults with and pretend that even a child having sexual identity issues wants to watch a fucking cartoon about it, where there's a 99% chance it's poorly handled

Peeps not be cool with it because he is like thousands of years old

>>25319218
Tjey also made the same thing with MarbleMac. Basically Jim and Confalone are saying that "The may or maybe they not feel attraction to eachther, YOU decide!" bullshit. What really pissing me off is ambiguity in something as vital to character as his love interest. NO you can't just create a love interest and then ignore it and make BM to have a crush on another random mare for one episode. Same with Sparity. Just finish what you started, if you don't want Spike to be with Rarity then establish Spike to get over her. If the story wants them to be togteher then just do something to make it happen. I hate abandoned love subplots even more than the love triangle bullshhits in every series. Even FlashLight pissing me off because they don't giving a fuck about closure. They will just not going to show pony Twilight with Brad never again and that's it. FlashLight shippers can still ship it, anti shippers can say that the ship is dead, while lorefags like me can only get pissed as the show staff that they only care about catering to shippers and antishippers while completely ignoring the characters and their development and subplots.
>>
>>25319615
Also didn't they already establish a thing with him and Cherilee? I know it wasn't supposed to be set in stone, but ever since the love potion episode they've been seen together a lot.

What are they even doing with this show anymore.

Sweetie Belle has an obvious reason for wanting Spike. Stealing her big sister's "Spikey Wikey" from her would be Sweetie's ultimate victory.

You just answered your own question, dudes. They're doing it PRECISELY to give fans fuel for shipping wars.

What about AB? I thought she would have a crush on Spike too.

Yes, but Apple Bloom isn't crazy jealous of her big sister the way Sweetie Belle is of hers.

So Spike is stuck as a child? When did he lose his crush on Rarity?

My guess? too much indifference and rejection over time.

Then he moves on and she regrets never acting.

>>25308064
If Spike was an adult, I would agree with you.
But Spike is a kid. He just doesn't have the foresight to make those types of decisions when blinded by his want to just make her feel better, yet. His intentions are still worth noting, especially considering his age and lack of romantic experience. It doesn't mean he doesn't care about her, he's just showing it in juvenile ways because he's a kid. In every episode you referenced, he usually realized his folly by the end of the show and through that, gained character development/maturity. (That isn't always consistent because the writers don't seem to know where they're going with Spike)

I don't get all the shitposting in this thread. Not you, since you at least have points and commentary, but everyone else. Why do people hate this ship so much? I love it because they really are a good match. It might seem like Rarity takes advantage of him, but I see it as her enjoying having him around. She runs a business, of course she needs help with that on occasion, and Spike is glad to help because he cares about her. It's not like she doesn't know that, because she obviously knew by the end of Secret of my Excess. I think she just doesn't acknowledge it because she's an adult and he's a kid, and she's aware of this. She gives him affection where she can, and she's always grateful (when she's not spazzing out), but it's not like they have a possibility of a (legal and not creepy) future if she actually went along with it. She just shows him affection in ways that she can that don't pass the "pedo" line. If you've ever been a adult who's interacted with children and one had a crush on you, you can recognize the cringy "I like you, but I'm not a pedo" kind of interactions.

>>25309006
This, shit people.

>>25310572
See, I don't understand this. I don't go to twispike threads and scream about how they're too close as siblings to be together, why are people so willing to shit up a thread with a paring they don't like?

anything is more mature than pinkie, thats not a big accomplish
>>
>>25271664
Sorry if Rarity is anyone's waifu, but she would make a horrible wife. She's very needy. The household would center around her fashion and interests, and any of Spike's interests like sports or comics would be kept out-of-sight in a "man-cave".
>>
>>25327989
Doesn't really strike me as a problem. At least he GETS to have a "man cave".
>>
>>25327989
>spike keeps all his stuff in a literal cave
i think hed be fine with that.

>>25322644
This. They only show ship teasing to create shipping wars in the fandom. Not a single pairing is sacred, no matter how much development they got.

Larson's suggestion of him being just an assistant before Ponyville crates a lot of in-show potential.

>>
>>25331145
I think that is so depressing.
>>
>>25327989
She wouldn't. She's an ambitious woman who wants to see her work thrive, but she's not selfish. She's just more self centered than usual, and even then, whenever we see it in the show, she's usually taught a lesson and is humbled. Hell, she'd probably design outfits based on his comics, and she's nothing if not supportive.
