Wow. A lot of arrogant little hate bots that seem to think that this is just some childhood crush that will never happen, and that Spike is somehow too young for her.



Well, listen up, and listen good. Just because childhood crushes happen, doesn't mean this is just another one, nor does it mean we know either of their official ages. Twilight hatched Spike about 10-12 years ago, which he should technically be around that age range. But we don't know how dragons age or grow, except that they can accumulate growth depending on their greediness and what they obtain. Nor do we know either of the exact ages, as I said. Also, pre-teens and teens get crushes too, mind you. You see, the thing is, as opposed to most childhood crushes, in which the child is usually just "OMG I love you, marry me!!1" and/or follows their crush around like a lost puppy (hence why I guess people call it a "puppy crush"), Spike seems to handle his crush fairly well, and doesn't constantly follow her around. Quite the contrary, he's actually done things for her and to be nice to her, because he wants that much to make her happy, such as when he gave her the fire gem. And on top of not being all "OMG marry me!!1" the only time he openly came out with his feelings was when they were falling, and he thought they might not make it. Plus, what about when Rarity herself has crushed on somepony else, like Trenderhoof? Even then, Spike wasn't all "OMG no how could you, this isn't happening, you're supposed to be with me!!1", so much as he just hoped that it wouldn't happen, which it didn't in the end. In fact, the crushes Rarity herself has had, could just as easily be seen as a crush that will never happen, much like you're accusing Spike of doing, regardless of Rarity's age. Just look at her crush/obsession with Prince Blueblood and Trenderhoof and how neither of those were the love of her life, like she expected they'd be.



Stop pretending this is something it isn't. Stop trying to twist the facts and making up excuses like "OMG but children get crushes so this MUST be just another childhood crush" just to fit your anti Sparity bias. Like I said, we know neither of the exact ages, children aren't the only ones that get crushes, and Rarity's crushes are proof of this, and Spike seems to handle his crush fairly well. Lastly, it's not as if crushes turning into a romance over time is unheard of. So really, just fucking stop it already. No one's forcing you to like this, but no one cares for your assumptions, either.
