Starlight’s hair in this comic…
 
But aw, Spike is such a sweetheart. He really does care for Twilight.

@JP  
In a duel, yes.
 
Handling him emotionally, not so much.
 
And the whole “whistle” thing - implied concerns about rape - depends on how it’s gone about. If done certain ways, she’ll never fight him. If done other ways, she wouldn’t think of severely hurting/killing him. Other ways still, yeah, her ability to smear the walls with him would come into play, but only if he doesn’t take other approaches. That’s what makes it so deadly and terrible, is it places the id, ego, and super ego of the victim in a terrible conflict where they’re too shocked to recognize the threat for what it is, and their internal conflict keeps them from taking the necessary actions to get out of the situation. At least sometimes. Well, most the time? I dunno. But point is, that’s the main concern.
 
…Some crazy hypotheticals, though. Like, terribly unlikely, considering Greg and this comic. Just that you brought it up kinda…

Aw… She lost the dress.

@Tetrominon  
Heck, both probably.

@Joseph Raszagal  
“In danger from”, or “terrified of”? Just saying.

BP, no. Yes, he can bite through gems, yet we’ve seen him in danger against things about or only slightly more dangerous than a pony. Like timberwolves.
 
Besides, that’s an argument about bite-force being important in a fight. Go ahead, get a bite in while something else, human, beast, or otherwise, is trying to kill you. See how well that works out.
 
Besides besides, we’re both putting way too much thought into this.

@Joseph Raszagal  
You do remember he can bite through stone, right?

@Joseph Raszagal  

 
That’s what I meant. Spike said that the rest of his days would be long and painful.

@FanOfMostEverything  
Headcanon accepted.

@FanOfMostEverything  
I was assuming you meant as a dragon just nomming him then and there. My bad, yo.

@Joseph Raszagal  
He has a kitchen. Preparing multiple meals is well within his capabilities.

@brony-in-denial  
…In a few years, anyway.

Remember Greg, I’m a dragon, I can EAT you.

Starlight is confused.

DadSpike is amazing xD .

I love this one so much.

xDDD All of my yes.

Spikedad is best dad.

@JP  

 
Fighting champions of evil is easy: you smack them some until they stop doing evil. Dating is much more complicated.

@FanOfMostEverything  
I think it’s more of a over protective son with his single mother, and doesn’t want to see Twi get emotionally hurt.

@JP  

 
Technically, it was with the combined powers of three other Alicorns in addition to her own, and they stalemated. She “lost” because Tirek used hostages to force her into giving up.
 
But yes, I’m very sure she could obliterate a normal pony if she wished.

@JP  
On some level, Spike views Twilight as his. Dragons do not part with their precious things readily or gladly.

Awwww. I like it when Spike is protective.

Gee thanks, Dad.
