"Long ago, this crown rested on the head of those who would rule, and still it seeks the true liege." Spike thought it looked neat and put it on. Things happened, and he's not entirely unhappy with the result. Twilight does not approve.
Done as a one-off commission, enjoy!

Why does the crown in the picture have Super Mario Bros. item eyes?
10716694
We rather not question that
10716698
10716694
Because it was the meme picture that inspired the person who then hired me.
Oh god, it's Bowsette all over again.
You have my attention!
Oh great, the Super Crown it's back...
I'm enjoying this.
10716710
Exactly and went i google search this things got flip
Nice story.
10716694
Long story short, there was a Super Mario game (not sure if it's released by now) that had a crown as a power up. Now in this game, the crown does nothing, unless you play as Toadette (a female Toad if you're unfamiliar) in which case the crown turns you into a different version of Peach.
Now the internet, being the chaotic society that it is, created a fanart on what might happen if Bowser wears the crown. You can see where I'm going with this.

And yet, Princess Peach as a Koopa has been a meme for a lot longer, but never enjoyed that kind of success. I guess "The Internet" has a preference for bad girls.

It's called the Super Crown, and it's from New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. As stated, it turns Toadette into Peachette.
It still bugs me that Bowsette is the name that caught on for Bowser + Super Crown, though I suppose it rolls off the tongue better than Peachowser or any other variant.
Can't wait to see more of this. Hopefully she finds a way to stay that way even without the crown
So... did Spike always have issues with gender identity, or is the crown doing a thing to his personality?
10717382
This is a good question. I dare you, however, to look at that picture really closely. Spike's expressions in each specifically.
Ah shit, here we go again... /CJ
Is this based off a mem? I don't get the story. Also human....
10717536
Let me ask you something. Have you heard of ‘Bowsette’?
10717541
Rule 34 is all I heard that's it. Hate the humanisk thing about it, if its a meme or some sort of spin on something stupid like they did with shaggy, I don't care for it.
Hor Hor Hor
"Spine", get it, BECAUSE HE HAS NONE
10717544
Someone else explained it, but essentially the crown in this story is the ‘super crown’ powerup from a Mario game. Intended as use with Toadette, and made her look more like Princess Peach, but the internet rolled with it, examining and drawing what if’s with other characters, the first being Bowser.
An unexpected premise, but an intriguing one. Let's see where you go with this.
I like. Plz more
10717561
Yes, it's also marked "Incomplete" but that still means that something is wrong here.
This story hits a bit too close to home. You've got the indifference to sex that comes with being a male in a largely female situation down to a t. But at the same time he should still be nervous about how others would see him not fully aligning with his biology. I would know, this is basically my own situation.
Unexpected trans story. Enjoying so far, keep going!
10717625
It means they paid once, instead of recurringly through patreon. The story is not finished. They paid for more words.
10717550
............. MAKES SENSE........
10717774
I think the confusion lies in the term one-off often being used to describe one chapter stories.
Also love the cover art
Cute!
I was surprised you went with 'Spine' instead of 'Barb'.
10718282
This version has no Spikes, but has Spines all along her back and tail, so she went with that.
None of those are Barbs.
Hm.
5 stars, well-done, wonderfully entertaining fic pic.
The fic's nice too, I guess.
Oh boy I can't wait for people to start throwing this off the rails in the comments, weather it be in this chapter or the next, and try and argue that spike is trans or something like that when it has nothing to do with gender-politics.
Its a friggin' crown power up from a Mario game people, come on..
(Also dont take this here the wrong way, I don't have a problem with trans people.)
10717641
Not to say anything political at all, but we don't know if the crown does more than we know. As you know, there are a lot of items in the cannon that shape how a person thinks: the Alicorn Amulet, Inspiration Manifistation and so on.
Please, don't get mad if this is just a joke fic.
10718553
This community looking at something mostly meant for children and taking it way too seriously!? We would never! 👀
...
But seriously, the whole crown/Bowsette meme (for many people) ended up having a certain trans subtext, which permeates this fiction as well. And I would go further: in this day and age, I find it really difficult to read this story as anything but a trans allegory. Therefore, it is only natural that bit will hit close to home for some people while making others a bit uncomfortable... or both, as it is not a simple topic.
that said, I really liked the fic! I found it light, but respectful. It captures Twilight self-righteousness well (as seen e.g. in Starlight and Trixie's first episode together), but also her love for Spike. And I can see Ponyville being a mostly accepting place (if the only unusual thing that happened that day was for Spike to wear the crown, that would be a very unremarkable day
). Also, I really liked Rarity in this one!
Regarding the topic of the crown's "influence"... It is left a bit ambiguous. Personally, I read the subtext of the fic as something like... Spike never really thought about "gender", but then tried on the crown (which in the metaphor would be something typically "feminine", like a dress or some lipstick, idk), and he really liked it. There aren't many contextual clues pointing to the crown's influence, besides Twilight's suspicion.
P.S. Also, I wrote the rest of this comment without realizing that David Silver is the author of Blueblooded Bluebell, a beautiful fic about the topic. That's not a confirmation of what this fic is about, but there is certainly a pattern right there
I really need to hear Rainbow's input on this.
10762685
More that someone knew I could write such a story and asked me to take a crack at this silly meme, but in me style. I hope I did well!
An overall great story with a heartwarming ending and message, awesome job
this journey was short but fantastic
very nicely done!
I say let him stay a woman, and have Ember really surprised by this, and more than a bit interested in getting to know Spine.
10762984
Actually, I had another thought. Have Garble see Spine and fall for her.
10762969
Then don't.
... very hamfisted.
10762969
Maybe you should examine why it bothers you to see trans content.
Because it sure as hell not because it's "forced". If that was the case then you'd have no complaints here. Not surprising you'd reach for the talking points, but you actually can't say that the topic was a "hackneyed insertion" or "forced into this story by a committee who wanted to earn wokeness points" or whatever because this is a fanfic. There is a rhyme, a reason, and a place for transgenderism or absolutely anything else the author desires because they have sole creative control. Furthermore, the fact that this fic is getting attention and is being featured means that there is a market for it. It's on the front page because people clicked on it and read it.
So what's the problem? What's the valid criticism that you've got? If you don't desire this content then don't read it. I don't like a lot of stuff on this website, but I know it's not for me so I just go elsewhere. You can try to twist words and language all you want, but fact is: you didn't leave, you complained, because, evidently, the problem for you is that it exists at all.
