memory lane

Spike: “Go, trot, trot pony! Gallop!”  
Celestia: “Ahahah, Calm down Spike, take it easy! Mommy isn’t made of rubber!”  
Spike: “Momlestia, can we play buffalos & appleloosans now, please?!”  
Celestia: “Okay Spike, but only if you promise not to try again to blow fire under mommy’s feet… Damn, it’s just a game, try to be more delicate.”

Sure, anyone can imagine this “Celestia raised Spike” thing, despite Faust’ said that NONE of her ideas were meant to be considered canon. Though it does NOT make Celestia a mother to any new-born creature, especially it isn’t the same species or when you’re simply looking after it for someone else. And, as I said, she only kept him fed, if it was canon, of course.
 
And speaking of Spike’s the cause of the show’s derailment, this pic shows that fans trying to be delusional about Spike.
 

 
About that “he’s the bravest character” bullshit. Sure, he kept singing, (because of the fans) but NOT the Cloudsdale Anthem, only “It keeps going on la-la-la, and I wish it was over now…” instead.

@Background Pony #3AB7  
And just so you know and understand, everything I told you was true. It was NOT confirmed that Celestia raised Spike. Ever. Or that she had those “motherly” moments which random fans like to imagine. She NEVER had, and you DON’T do that, especially when it isn’t the same species… or when you’re taking care of it for someone else. And NONE of those were ever proved or mentioned in the show. I’ve noticed in a few fanfictions before which I haven’t or wanted to read about this kind of stuff, of course. Sure, they can imagine these things themselves if they like but get WAY completely carried away by directly boasted to random people that “Celestia “DID” raise Spike” things like it “DID” happen some places, fanfictions, and fan art.

@Background Pony #3AB7  
Plus, how come Celestia was able to do this “letter breath” thing to Spike, as Faust also mentioned? Dragons were MYSTERIOUS to ponies and knew NOTHING about them, Faust said so herself. And WHY him? Creatures like dragons cannot have or use magic powers. And wasn’t Twilight herself supposed to send/receive letters herself since she’s Celestia’s student and a unicorn after all? Imagine when there’s a vital situation, she must report to Celestia and Spike’s not around… that’s why she’s gotta/supposed do that herself, and why it makes WAY more sense, smarter… especially in a show that’s about and based on ponies.

@Background Pony #3AB7  
Same here. About this “Celestia raising Spike” thing that some fans want to believe, although that was ONE of Faust’s ideas. She told; “I don’t know if a different backstory will ever be revealed so, as always, my ideas shouldn’t be considered canon.” In the show, it was never proved or mentioned.
 
They still want to think that Celestia raised him, like the artist for this pic, (I don’t know if she/he does) even though this one of Faust’s ideas were NOT supposed to be canon at all, like any others. Like Twilight’s parents, they might’ve been the ones who raised him since any new-born creature like dragons who seemed harmless and safe enough for them to take care of. That could also be one of Faust’s ideas, as well.
 
Even if this was canon, Twilight was the one who hatched him and was supposed to take care of him herself. But she was only a filly, so Celestia just did it FOR her by simply only keeping him fed… anything whatever a young, baby creature just needs. Some fans even want to think that Celestia had her “motherly” moments, though the only things she did was just to make sure he gets fed, everything he needed, as I said. Sure, anyone can imagine that Celestia had her “motherly” moments if the like. But WHY? It doesn’t mean she has or had those kinds of acts or anything at all just because she looks after a new-born creature, someone like Spike, especially when it isn’t the same species… and when you’re taking care of it for someone ELSE.
 
And, I did notice some fans in a few other places who directly boasts this “Celestia “DID” raise Spike” thing like it “DID” happen or whatsoever, which proves that it has gone pretty far into their heads, and that’s damaging them, which also kinda bothers me a little tbh. I never even wanted to interfere with them and their thoughts face to face, and I’m also worried about how they or the fandom might end up with these random imaginations and all. There’s been too much drama and war with stuff like shipping, and so on. I’ve seen it, I don’t know if you have, but I sure did.
 
That’s not all. No offense or anything, Spike has always been the cause of many errors, mistakes… throughout the entire show. There are lots of things I’ve discovered and always knew a very long time ago about Spike’s character. It was Twilight herself all along who saved the Crystal Empire, not him. She knew where to find the heart, she found the hidden passage to it, she told Spike to bring it back, risking herself by failing Celestia’s test…
 
The writers had that in mind the whole time until the fans suddenly wanted them to change that because they were just sick and tired of Spike’s abuse, horrible treatments, and how he mostly spent his appearances in the shadows in all the previous seasons. They wanted them to put an end to the damage on Spike’s role, treatments… but never realized or wanted to realize that they’ve damaged the entire SHOW themselves because of that.
 
They couldn’t learn to get used to it and were too sensitive over that. He was meant only to be the simple sidekick and a goofy character that provides comic relief, screws up, embarrassing himself… usually, a simple background character. The episode “Princess Spike” where he completely messes up was one of his usual, typical roles, then learning his lessons… in “Secret of My Excess”… And in “Just for Sidekicks” where he looks after the Mane Six’s pets while they’re gone on adventures, no wonder why he was (supposed to) mostly left behind and only had few appearances throughout the show.
 
The show’s based on ponies, which means THEY are the ones who defeat villains, going on adventures… and the show became a total disaster because of the changes in Spike the writers did because of those sensitive fans. The episode “Gauntlet of Fire” had major flaws, as well, and MANY others, especially Spike episodes. All the more reason why there weren’t supposed to be and shouldn’t have been any Spike episodes AT ALL. I gotta say that the episode was written by the fans themselves. Twilight couldn’t handle some teenage dragons, (creatures who only could fly and breath fire, no magic, completely weak and harmless enough against powerful, magical ponies) but in other episodes like “Twilight’s Kingdom”, she confronts Tirek just fine, which proves that is just one of those stupid excuses from the fans to show Spike doing something good, just for once. Of course, he only hands over the specter to Ember. All this “character development” Spike got was a huge mistake made by the fans themselves and caused the show to derail completely.
 
The writers of the show had to do those catastrophic changes just so those Spike fans wouldn’t stop watching the show and would have fewer watchers (or probably no watchers at all) and all their hard work on it would’ve been for NOTHING. They’d CANCEL the entire show, throw it away straight in the trash can.

@SRD639  
Agreed, but it’s unlikely to happen.

Is true that spike’s egg is hatched by twilight but it’s not twilight it’s was rainbow dash’s sonic rainboom helped twilight’s magic.

@toonbat  
Spike didn’t really have a life prior to that. He was hatched from an egg by Twilight, as her audition to get into Celestia’s magic school, and has lived with Twiley ever since. First when she was still studying day and night in the Royal Library at Canterlot, and then later moving with her to Ponyville and actually making friends. Given how obsessed Twiley used to be with her studies before going to Ponyville, I can’t imagine he had much (if any) free time to enjoy by himself in Canterlot….

Momlestia is a tag? :O

You know, Sometimes I wish people here could stop thinking with their genitals and their perverted minds on the heartwarming pics such as this and start speaking with their hearts.

@Armade  
and?

@Rostam  
As i remember, that was only in chrysalis arc… there were no spike x momlestia moments…

@Armade  
i like spike and Celestia moments in the comic.

@toonbat  
It would be a dream come true…

@Armade  
Still love this picture though. Also, it makes it all the more inexcusable that we don’t have a better Spike episode by now. We’re all dying to know what his life previous to Ponyville was like. Will they ever get around to answering that?

@toonbat  
nowadays canon doesn’t involve celestia as mother for spike, it was only in lauren plot in season 1. All of you can just forget about this plot line, its gone with faust. From season 2, spike has no parents, only big sis in the person of twilight…

@Rostam  
Yes, but when we do, it’s always Celestia completely focused on Twi, and all but ignoring Spike, and Spike himself always refers to the princess very formally, and was even very quick to drop to his knees and faceplant against the floor in the season 4 opener. He just doesn’t act like she’s his mom in his eyes.

@toonbat  
because you rarely see them interact.

As much as I love this image, I never get a ‘Celestia was Spike’s mom’ vibe from the show itself, regardless of Lauren Faust’s intentions. She’s always far more motherly with Twi than with Spike. I still find it easier to accept Twi’s parents raising him.

@albert19  
yeah, unfortunately, but, if you know flash/other animation program, then all in your hands, mate

Shame this will never happen in the show.

Beautiful :’)

@Background Pony  
what the fuck it was momlestia….auto correct?
