Because the writers think you’re just there for comic relief. :( (hugs)

Don’t you mean the same age as Dr. Watson?

@Background Pony #FFAA  
Obviously, she meant “Elementary, Dear Wastson,” which is attributed to Sherlock Holmes, which means he is the same age as Sherlock Holmes.

@TheLoneLampman  
TWELVE PAGES, LAMPY? T-T… TWELVE?

“Spike’s age: teen, preteen, elementary age?” “Elementary. I think of him as about 8 in maturity.”
 
So, what was “Elementary” a typo for?

@TheLoneLampman  
You guys aren’t wizards!

A mod is never late, Revan0123. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Just as I betted, the mods arrive…

@TheLoneLampman  
I know.

@Background Pony #B0FA  
This whole thing went on way longer than it should have and it’s over.

@TheLoneLampman  
I could have sworn I saw Lauren Faust say that he was 18 before, but that wasn’t what we were talking about most recently. (I’d still argue that there are approximate ages you can give the characters, but all we were talking about today was if Fluttershy was older than Dasie or not.)

@Background Pony #B0FA  
“Spike is 18, Rarity is 24.”
 
“Twilight hatched Spike when she was like 7”
 
“No, he’s considered a baby dragon because dragon lifespans are so long. Also, he’s never going to physically mature because it’d require him to become greedy again, so he’s stuck as a “baby” dragon forever, but is still legal age”
 
“Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are the same age.”
 
“Didn’t Lauren Faust say he was about 18 in human years on Deviantart before?”; “Actually, I think that was a typo. She meant 18, not 8.”
 
“Pinkie looked the youngest, though. That’s why she was so cute! Her and Rainbow Dash are the same age, though.”; “(By “her” I meant Fluttershy, not Pinkie. Fluttershy is the same age as Dashie.)”
 
“What about Lauren Faust?”; “She didn’t say that Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash weren’t the same age, though. That means they are.”
 
“But they were shown to be in the same grade.”  
^{Prof.NightJack: No they where not, that was flight camp, a camp not a school.}  
“But it was divided by grade.”
 
“Dude, watch the episode again. They wouldn’t even know each other if it wasn’t for the camp and they’re all the same ages.”
 
“If they were in school together and knew each other, that means they were in the same grade. It was pretty obviously implied that the Flight Camp was an extension of their Flight School, just during the Summer. Therefore, Fluttershy was in the same grade as Dashie.”
 
“They won’t be an entire year older unless they were held back. They’d only be a few months older.”
 
“But Fluttershy is still the same age as Dashie.”
 
“…They were in the same grade.”
 
“They can be different ages, but they aren’t a whole year apart is what I’m saying.”
 
“No, I think I pretty well proved with the show that they were in the same grade. Both Sonic Rainboom and Cutie Mark Chronicles prove that.”
 
“But it was clearly a Summer program for the school. That was obviously implied.”
 

 
You’re using insane amounts of interpretation and ass-pulling to insist that your opinions are facts.

@Prof.NightJack  
I am, I was only clarifying what I was actually arguing about and the fact that I’m really not the one who has been refusing to end this conversation. Done talking about it now.

@Background Pony #B0FA  
You know when a mod tell you to shut up, you better do it.

@TheLoneLampman  
Never said they did say how old they were. I said that it’s greatly implied Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are the same age. I’m not the one who keeps insulting others because they disagree with me and getting legitimately pissed off about it.

@Prof.NightJack  

 
I think we’re done here.
 
@Background Pony #FFAA  

@Background Pony #B0FA  
They never said how old they are in the show.  
Now shut the fuck up and stop cluttering the comments with your bullshit.

@Background Pony #FFAA  
Why not, go ahead.

Is it time to turn this into a Spider-man thread yet?

@Background Pony #B0FA  
>Calm down and get over the fact that I disagree  
Same to you.  
You are the one that keep going “but they are the same age” every time it gets to an end you have to say that all over and start it again.  
Just shut up about it already.

@Background Pony #B0FA  
I NEVER said there was no implication of age, I SAID there was not STATED ages and nothing to say who was the same age.  
Implications: the conclusion that can be drawn from something, although it is not explicitly stated  
That is the key to what I was saying, it was explicitly stated, but you are acting like it was.  
LEARN TO READ AND COMPREHEND.

@Prof.NightJack  
You’re doing the same thing with your insistence that there’s no implication about age. :P
 
@Prof.NightJack  
Look, I’m no more insistent about my opinions then you are about yours. Calm down and get over the fact that I disagree, please.

@Background Pony #B0FA  
You have have that opinion, just stop telling others about it like it’s the absolute fact.

@Background Pony #B0FA  
You keep pushing you ideas as fact, no one can state there idea on the matteer without you going “but it’s still like this”.  
That’s is how you are acting like a troll and why i hope you get a ban.

@Prof.NightJack  
Why can’t I have an opinion on what the writers of the show intended to imply?
