  • For most of my time in the fandom I took Spike's unrequited love arc with Rarity the same as everyone else. I think most people rooted for Spike, hoped that they could finally win Rarity over. But as I've gotten older, it became evident to me through rewatching the show and talking about it with my friends how the whole Spike and Rarity thing is kinda creepy. Rarity continually led the kid on, despite being much older. And even when Spike started to move on, Rarity started getting jealous.
    Spike has also been the butt of every joke. They've been the one to carry everyone else's baggage and tasks for pretty much the entire show. They've often been pressured to fit in, especially due to their lack of conformity to normal dragon societal standards.
    I wrote Nonexistent Meet-Cute from the perspective of an adult Spike. In their independence and growth, they explore their identity and purpose, coming to realize that they've built up a lifetime of depression and cynicism. In a sudden act of defiance and anxiety, Spike confronts Rarity and tells her every little thought in their head.
    Or perhaps it's just Spike daydreaming about doing it.

    This song feels like someone screaming, "DID Y'ALL FORGET IT WAS SPIKE WHO SAVED THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE FROM KING SOMBRA _AND_ USHERED IN PEACE BETWEEN PONIES AND CHANGELINGS???" into a mic, condensed into 4 minutes. And it is good.

      Spike changed the course of the show. Not to mention he helped bridge the gap between Ponies and Dragons. He befriended a Changeling who then became the new ruler and the new Dragon Lord. And all he gets is the Ambassador of Friendship? He deserves so much more.

      Can't believe that spike's friendship with thorax and Ember aren't addressed that much, l mean if spike never made friends with them, equestria would have either been burnt to the ground by dragons or taken over by chrisalys, spike being friends with them caused peace between equestria and two kingdoms, who mind you, never got along with ponies until now, all thanks to spike! And their friendship with them is never brought up again like WTH?

      These are all great examples of why spike is best drago. But I think that ambassador of friendship is just the right job for him BECAUSE of his friendships. He’s the one on the front lines for uniting the whole planet that Equestria is on. Creatures we’ve never even seen can be befriended because of his intuition and judge of character

      @@ummdustry5718 I think saying Twi treats spike like a servant is pretty disingenuous though. They write her letters and do some chores around the house (because they live there and help out.) and they treat each other as siblings for the most part especially past season 3. Framing it like Twi is using spike when she goes out of her way most times past to lighten their burden and almost always asks if their ok is casting their relationship in the worst possible light. I think Spike deserves better from all the main cast, including Twi definitely, but she is pretty low of the list imo. I'd love to hear your take on it though I admit it's been a bit since i've watched the show.

    I LOT can be said here, but something of note I like is the line...
    "I've been chasing visions of a home I never had."
    It's easy when you're in a dark, lost or confused time to confuse acceptance for romantic interest. It works with Spike being an outcast in the cast, or with the nonbinary head-cannon. Their crush for Rarity could've gotten melded with the idea of being appreciated for who they are. It's only when they grew up and matured did they find other means of validation, and saw through the ways she used them.

    Spike was the shows buttmonkey, it was always his place to be undervalued and overworked. How could someone not sympathize with him and demand the best for his sake? Beautifully cathartic, I love how you reimagine these characters from a different perspective and state of mind. Bravo ^^

  • @tobiasj1630

    I love it!! Spike deserves so much better! It always felt like they were kinda pushed around and mistreated.
    Spike saved the entire Crystal Empire AND brought ponies and changlings together! Not to mention that way Rarity treats them is not only pretty crappy but also kinda creepy, in the show it has it like everyone is an older teen or adult and Spike is like the little kid "brother" which its normal for a like 13 year old to have a crush on an older celebrity or person but its another thing when said older person encourages it. She's not only teaching someone younger than her that the whole "they're playing hard to get, just try harder!/ if they hits you it means they likes you!" Thing is healthy and okay, but she's also being possessive and having unhealthy boundaries with someone younger than her.
    I love to listen to this and imagine that Spike realized how horrible Rarity treated them while discovering their identity and that they get to move on and find someone who truly loves them or get awesome friends that support them!

  • @Envi-Kevin

    I feel like I'm one of the few who actually appreciates the little guy. Bro held on for so long despite being slapped around like a rag-doll. Tho I always liked the idea of the ship (until someone had to directly point out to me it's a minor/adult relationship, yes I'm that dumb), Rarity could've easily said no, since she would obviously know the relationship wouldn't work. Poor dragon boi spent 9 seasons thinking something would happen, and it makes me feel bad for him bro 😢. I suppose the writers wouldn't really think of something like that tho.

    This is good. It's got a very 2000's electropop vibe. Perfect for a F$%K YOU song :D
    I've actually felt this way about spike since the first EqG movie. I always wondered why he came through the portal as a dog. It didn't really make any sense.
    I was hopeful in Simple Ways from season four that maybe the writers were gonna help spike out. Rarity was all sad that Trenderhoof wasn't interested in her, and all Spike gave her was some light shade. But then the writers would always crap on Spike when the episode centered around them. It bugged me to no end. It's possibly one of the subconscious reasons I have for not watching season 9 yet.

    But seriously, I just think it’s just so fucking sad of how Spike gets treated sometimes, legit it’s just sad. It’s like everytime there’s a Spike-centered episode, they have him get hurt, humiliated, or act out of character.
    I will admit seasons 4 and 6 were his best, but aside from those two, it’s just disappointing how they can’t really write him as the humility-filled dragon he is.
    I’m glad most of us here are in agreement of how Spike deserved better. I just feel so bad for him sometimes. Poor, Spike.

But yeah, Rarity was a bitch to just lead him along without cutting him loose. She knew he was obsessed with her but she never considered doing the nice thing and just saying "Fuck no, Spike. You and me and are never gonna happen. We are only ever going to be friends. I like you as a friend and I want to continue to be your friend, but only if you are comfortable with knowing you will only ever be my friend."

    Spike (mostly the way he's treated but also his personality) was always painful to watch... it felt weird seeing the characters treat him so poorly. I get that it's not exactly out of character when you consider they were also weirdly xenophobic toward Zecora, but that didn't make it not suck.

    I love this so much ! I always felt Spike was so unreasonably hated by the fandom, and even shittily treated in the actual show’s universe , for what ? They’re literally a baby why is everyone so mean : ( I always thought they were a cute , charming addition to the shows cast. I will say, (and this might be biased as Rarity is my fav of the mane 6) I never got the impression she was intentionally leading Spike on, in fact imo for most of the series it seems she’s completely oblivious of Spike’s feelings for her, I do acknowledge there are like maybe 1 or 2 rare instances and jokes I can remember that might indicate it, but in the larger scope of the show I never felt she even knew they liked her, then again I stopped watching the series for a long ass time around season 5 , I think until recently , and alotta people say she got jealous of spike moving on later which I guess I wasn’t around to see, and if so, that’s …weird of her. I do agree that Spike x Rarity would be really weird , as even if Spike gets older, Rarity has known them since they were a baby, kinda gross. They should have had her just gently reject them , like Wendy did with Dipper in Gravity Falls. I mostly just think she uses them like everyone else, unfortunately. I still really appreciate this take on both their characters as it can teach a message and speak to a lot of people. More love for Spike !! 💛🤍💜🖤💚

    Initially, I was hesitant to check out this song because I always hated the existence of spike x rarity, but the description gave a lot of context. I remember there was like a panel at bronycon in like 2011 where someone asked the one of writers if spike x rarity was going to happen and they basically said no, because he's a kid. I guess that writer didn't work on "Dragon Dropped." Anyways, I love this perspective on spike and rarity's relationship. Also nonbinary spike is awesome.
