That’s very nice.
Yeah, the show really dropped the ball in regards to Spike’s family connections. Sure they had an episode where he questioned his worth in the world and how he should be with his own kind (twice), but they never expressed the opposite with Celestia, or as of Sparkle’s Seven, Night Light and Velvet showing their concern for him.
It’s just painful to see something like Sparkle’s Seven having to play out where Spike has to literally chessmaster EVERY pony in canterlot JUST to get noticed and have a small iota of respect thrown his way.
