Cute.

@SeraphimDawn  
It’s because some of us have this “everything in MLP needs to be very developed!!!!1111oneone” mindset.

@LuminoZero  

 
Spike was wildly impulsive, but severely held back by his lack of social skills and self-doubt typical of a shut-in. He was very childish, ready to let his fears and wants run rampant at every opportunity, as small children growing in a loving environment are wont to do. He was an archetypical little boy with equal measure of kind heart and all seven sins serving as a counter-point to more grown-up and very feminine main cast.
 
In Season 1.
 
Presumably Lauren forgot to write any of this down, because it would never be seen again.

@Background Pony #376E  
approve of what? spike reading comics?
 
what do you have against dragons reading, huh? you some kind of speciest?

@SuperDEF  
Must’ve been another duck who didn’t read the comments.

What’s with the drama, besides of purple booty?

@TheOtherPinkiePie  
Drama already been happened. Don’t know why some random BP removed the tag.

@rdibp  
Hopefully not. One more crack about Spike and I’m tagging this “drama in the comments”.

Sneaky Spike is sneaky.

Are we really still arguing about this?

@LuminoZero
 
It is their fault because non of them have los cojones to spend time actually thinking of some good character development for him, so they make new writers write mediocre episodes for him instead.

@SeraphimDawn
 
It’s not really their fault. Spike has no CHARACTER, and nobody is willing to rock the boat enough to give him one.

@untraceablelarry  
Why can’t we just face the fact that the writers don’t know how to write Spike.

@Background Pony #8FA1  
That is in part because nearly every Spike episode is bad, and none of them are good, at least from what I’ve seen (everything not S3 and S4). I wouldn’t really call it an inconsistency to complain abut the other thing, dumb as that complaint usually is, but still think that his episodes suck.
 
Also, the complaining about the “Spike Justice Warrior” thing is reminding me a lot of when I see people complaining about bronies preemptively and unnecessarily; try not to be them.

@Ping_chan  
Yeah, it got so much better since season 1.

@SuperDEF  
They taught their children, and their children’s children, and so on. It’s very sad. But, this is how long lasting hate between two different kinds of people happens. It gets passed down for generations.

@SuperDEF  
Hatred is a powerful thing.

What I really want to know, from Fluttershy’s explanation, how did two whole communities got developed by two Ponies who disagreed with each other?

@Eeveeinheat  
Thanks, now I cant stop watching how beautifully animated Twilight is!  

@Background Pony #6CDB  
@EricNeoMatrix  
That’s exactly what I was afraid of when I saw how many comments this image had gotten; instead, it’s just minor metadrama sparked by you two assuming people were going to overreact. Sheesh.
 
@Background Pony #061B  
@Background Pony #4291  
Eh, the anti-SkJW crowd has a long way to go before they get that annoying.
 
@Background Pony #C6BB  
Yeah, this is the kind of comment I was hoping for.

Pffffffffffffff! X3c

This is kind of cute, actually. When the books lift Spike doesn’t even notice them at first. He’s just lying there, smiling, enjoying his ponified Archie and jughead comic, and then suddenly is notices the books were lifted off as they get lowered back down.
 
It makes me wonder if, living with Twilight, he’s used to burrowing into a pile of books like that. Heck, for him it’s probably like a blanket fort or something.
