OUR QUEEN HAS SPOKEN!
IT IS CANON!

@TexasUberAlles
Eh, they have the same body frame. I’m only slightly annoyed whenever they draw her older than Spike, since she’s clearly the same height… <w<

@TexasUberAlles
I mean, if they manage to draw her, they invent a detailed, different and own design, not just a shiny spike

@TexasUberAlles
Stay salty

@Shandy
LOL get all the way out of here with that ~~4chan invented the fandom~~ horseshit; they’ve been desperately telling themselves that from the start trying to seem important, as if MLP didn’t already have millions of fans before FIM ever aired. It’s just pathetic, nothing but a bunch of scrubs congratulating themselves for getting in on the ground floor of a building that was already halfway built.

@noneimportant
This… doesn’t look anything like Spike? Even allowing for Actual Child Drawing, the basic design elements are completely different.

I absolutely love how she now has 41 images here.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I just hope your design is nice and cute and not just a green and orange female spike

@noneimportant
That would be really cool. A nice tribute to the kid

I would love for her to have a cameo in the comics at least, so Faust’s daughter would have a nice memory of her character being canonized as a gift of her mother’s power.

@TexasUberAlles
You do realize it was the channers who even created the fandom? It didn’t start to properly leak from /b/ until the last three episodes of season 1. They spotted and named derpy. Shit it was known as the /b/rony fandom in the beginning because of just that, it was around the time of Luna’s season 2 episodes that finally changed.

@TexasUberAlles
How we determine what is legitimate information and what is meant for fun is commonly referred to as “thinking”, yeah? XD

… So I commissioned an image of a Dragon girlfriend for spike a while back and I’m a little surprised at how close this came out.

@Just Wayne
Nice to have Faust encourage the creativity of her child. It’s quite wholesome and if I ever become a dad maybe I’ll do the same thing.

Why is no one talking about how cute and wholesome this is? :3

@TexasUberAlles
Exactly! The only point of what Faust is doing is so we can all have a good silly time!

@Mori
She’s also claimed as canon that Pegasi are propelled by farts. “Canon” is only what we actually see onscreen or on the printed page or on the toy packages from official Hasbro releases, and anything the creators say about it otherwise is either “Word Of God” or “A Joke”.

@Mori
Because the show has been over for 3 years.
And Lauren has not worked on it for like 10.
Also, Lauren was kidding.

Why is Emziko tagged as an OC?
Faust herself claimed her to be canon.

@PinFeather
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL DOWNVOTING FUCKING GEN 4 MLP CREATOR LAUREN FAUST’S CHILD’S OC???
The channer end of the fandom has long had a hate-on for Target Audience, for having the audacity to think the show was made for them.

@Background Pony #0B4C
She didn’t say Spike’s only girlfriend
And no mention at all of any of Spike’s boyfriends, either!

@PinFeather
Some people just dislike it because they dislike it.

@Background Pony #EDC1
To be fair, Faust is just joking around. It’s not actually officaly canon (I’m surprised some people think that). It’s all in good cute fun.

@Background Pony #EDC1
And a blog to go with the comment below: Too little, too late

@Background Pony #EDC1
👍
Plus, G4 ended, so…

@PinFeather
Well, personally, I think that it is a bit unfair that whenever the show’s creator says something about the show, their words will be “canon”, let alone their relatives, because it doesn’t cost anything to say a few words while we struggle to make the best content just to be accepted. I believe that the world of equestria is for all of us to shape and complete(under a few principles to make sure that it is recognizable), not just a few staff members.
(but if calling it canon gets your creativity going with new canon material, then I can also roll with you guys, because I just want to have some fun.)

Also, they could just dislike it because it does not look good. It’s reasonable.

@Mr.Myoozik
She looks a bit grumpy and fierce. She might be a bit agressive and fun loving. Eother a tsundere or trying to kidnap Spike for herself to go on a date.

Boy, I can’t wait for that special Emziko Event on EqD! BRING IT! XD
