Wow, I can’t believe people have taken such a horrible view on Spike in comic.
 
In this canon, Spike is something like a younger brother to Twilight. OF COURSE HE’D WANT TO MOVE OUT INTO HIS OWN PLACE. What teenager doesn’t want his own place to stretch out, call over his/her friends and generally being their own boss?
 
He’s still friends with Twilight of course, and he comes over and helps with the library because it’s what he’s always done, and he enjoys the time spend with her. Plus it’s effectively his job.
 
Spike is a freaking dragon, and it only makes sense that as he gets older, he’d want to live in a freaking cave, where he can start amassing his hoard. Because of potential size as an adult, he’d have to move out eventually. Why not now, as the library is kinda crowded.
 
Spike, like any teenager, would have jumped at the idea of getting away from his “chaperone” and living on his own.
 
My god, did you people don’t even think about this? Stop vicariously living through Spike, with the desire to live with Twilight. Or stop asserting that Twilight and Spike have a relationship. That’s not the case in my canon, and I’ve also done nothing to contradict the canon of the show.
 
Simple fact of life: People grow up and eventually move out of their original home. Those who don’t are cripplingly dependent on their parents or care-takers and don’t have healthy life-styles.

Well, it would be kind of an overreaction to say that he was kicked out; yes its a bad excuse, being forced to abandon your lifestyle because your foster mother/guardian or whatever wants to have sexy time without you interfering; in families composed by son and mother only (or however you want to see the relationship of someone who takes care of someone younger) when the guardian finds a lover, this is the scheme that most of them take during or shortly before the family breaks, usually leading to grim consequences for the family, but he still lives with them…although after all I said it doesnt sound like it helps a lot.  
In any case at least Ambris tried, which is more than i can say of many ship tumblrs, the only one dealing with this effectively being the sadly closed “Ask Twibra”.

And we are free to tell you that you can’t read people’s thoughts, and you should stop putting words in the artist’s mouth like this:
 

 
Feel free to criticize the content, but don’t go around making assumptions about the creator’ thoughts.
 
Also, really people? This is “Ask Twidash”, not “Ask Twidash and Spike”. Most blogs don’t even bother to explain about other characters. Here, Spike is given his own house, and a goddamn lair connected to both houses. This is less “kicking him out” and more like “giving him his own room”.

Okay, seriously: there are hundreds (if not thousands) fimfics out there where Spike doesn’t get mentioned, or if he does, he just conveniently happens to be [over at Sugarcube Corner/searching gems with Rarity/etc]  
Besides, the blog has always been about TwiDash really; if he hadn’t drawn anything, I bet there would be people complaining about the lack of an answer, right?

Be honest with yourself, is the artists intent to deal with the realistic scenario, or show why Spike hasn’t played a part in this blog for the duration of its existence? Spike has been an afterthought here. He wasn’t even allowed to answer a question that was addressed to him. Ambris has made a choice to neglect how this relationship affected the other principal character that was already living in the house, and this hackneyed attempt at an explanation shows that he never had any intent to do so because that would detract from Happy Lesbian Sexy Funtimes. I am entirely free to interpret it any way I choose because the artist has given me no reason or impetus to believe otherwise.

@Background Pony #9203  
Because there’s no way that this was discussed and completely agreed upon by spike.

@Background Pony #9203  
I see you’re going out of your way to interpret the worst possible things…

@Background Pony #1E27  
I’m pretty sure the artist doesn’t intend for this to be a spontaneous choice, a break up to happen, or for it to be implied they sent a baby dragon off on their own.
 
It’s really not even “on his own”, it’s for all intents and purposes an extension of the house.

@Techy Pony
 
There’s a world of difference between moving out because you’ve gained maturity and feeling that you have to believe because some pony you barely know has moved in so she can fuck the closest thing you have to a mom. This blog takes place three-five years in the future? So, that makes Spike… what, 12? 14? Good thing he has that secret tunnel… God forbid anyone actually see him enter what was once his own home.@Rotul7

I guess it just all depends on time. If Twilight and Dash have been seeing each other for a while, then moving in together is quite normal. If they have only been dating for a short time, then this series of events seems to be a little spontaneous and made with little judgement. When couples who have only dated for a short period of time move in together, the results don’t usually end well. Also, how old Spike is seems kind of important to. If he is still a young child, moving him out to a nearby hut with a tunnel would probably be an emotionally turbulent time for him, considering Twilight is the closest thing he has to family. If he is a teenager or young adult, then its not as big of a deal, as he would probably be quite independent at this point. And who wants to be around when your surrogate sister is having personal time with her girlfriend?  
So, in the end, I suppose it just all depends on how the artist has interpreted time. If Twilight and Dash have been together for a while, and if Spike is older, than there is nothing wrong with this in my book. However, if Twilight and Dash are newly coupled and are rushing things, or if Spike is still too young to be independent on his own, than this could carry complications.

@Background Pony #1E27  
You do realize at some point in people’s lives they you know, move out and leave their “parents” (not literal in this case) to their lives? Is there anything wrong with that?
 
Besides, if all 3 are living in the complex of buildings that’s connected, it makes sense for the lovers to be the ones inhabiting the “combined” space rather than spike living with Twi and RD off in the other house. Plus, RD won’t be without a house, she’s renting it out, she didn’t sell it. And assuming they’d be under some contract to let the people she rented it to stay there for a certain amount of time, if RD and Twi broke up, I think Twi would be reasonable enough to let RD live in that little house until she was able to go back to her own.

Take a little trip to any Scootabuse picture. You’ll see numerous downvotes and plenty of commenters calling that bullshit out. Or how about you go take a look at the Scootalove tag, created in response to the Scootabuse trend, which now outnumbers the Scootabuse tag by a large margin. And if you think there are not people who complain about Cupcakes, you sir are blind. That Fanfiction has a huge followers of haters because it was the first significant grimdark mlp piece of fiction.  
Spike’s fans can get a little bit overzealous at times. But so can every character’s fans. Did you miss the Pinkie Pie drama after Filli Vanilli? Did you miss how Flutterfans get up in arms whenever you criticize Yellowquiet at all? And how they cite the “BEST PONY POLL” as proof that she is the best character? So it’s not just Spike fans who act this way. Whether its bad experiences or your own blindness that has led you to think this way, I can’t say.

@Background Pony #9203  
@Background Pony #1E27  
Man, no one in this fandom butthurts like Spike fans. I’ve never seen complaints if Rainbow Dash is chopped up and baked into cupcakes or Scootaloo is beaten to death. But OH NO! Spike got thrown out cause Twilight has a lover? Unthinkable. Can’t have that.

@Techy Pony  
Yea I know right? So would I!! Have my own space and privacy to do as I please.

My question is why didn’t Dash get a home with a secret connected tunnel? I mean, Twilight and Spike have been living together for years, but when Dash enters the equation, somehow its Spike who is the one to leave. How long have Twi and Dash been seeing each other? If its a few years or something I can understand. But if it has only been a couple of months, then that doesn’t make any sense. If Twi and Dash break up or call it quits, Dash has no home, and Twilight just helped pay for a new house for Spike (Unless they made him pay for the house, which would be adding insult to injury) that she ultimately didn’t need to.

@Rotul7  
If I was “kicked out” by being given a home…I’d be happy.

So how does moving out and having your own home equates to getting kicked out again folks??? The houses are still connected for crying out loud. I don’t see it.
 
I’m pretty sure Twilight and Rainbow aren’t that fucked up. And I’m pretty sure Celestia, or her other friends wouldn’t stand for something like getting kicked out now.

It looks like Sombra’s door was more prophetic than we thought.  
“Oh I’m sorry Spike, my oldest friend and possibly surrogate brother who came to Ponyville with me from the very beginning. I have to kick you out to be with my brand new lesbian lover. I hope this doesn’t cause any issues with your whole deep seeded fear of being kicked out by me. But look. A SECRET TUNNEL! Doesn’t that make everything better? Spike?”

So he’s technically kicked out of the house, and he still has to work for her? Well, at least he got his own house out of it but that brings up another question. How much quality time does Twilight spend with Spike?

@Background Pony #9203  
Is it really that bad? To me it’s a sign of respect that he’d get to have his own house instead of having to continue to sleep in a basket at the foot of Twilight’s (and now Dash’s, too) bed. This ask blog is written a few years in the future, so Spike is at least somewhere around 15 or 16 now, anyway.
 
Besides, Ambris has indicated that in the future, he might write more about Spike in this story. And from his past works we know he’s also a huge SpikeBelle fan, so there’s that to look forward to.

Holy shit it is colored

Typical shipper… throw out the one relationship that Twilight has, that to the kid she’s been raising, in favor of their OTP. Just like that he got thrown out of Twilight’s life, only to come around to work for her/clean for her. Poor guy.

Sexy mares indeed.

Dude, your own you-themed house WITH an underground secret tunnel? That’s not kicked out, that’s kickin’ it in style.

@Background Pony #CDF1  
Its a Twidash Cliche, at least he’s not completely ignored.
