Styrofoam


Hmm... What to say here... 1) I am indeed a lady. 2) Everypony is best pony. 3) However, I especially like Rarity and Fluttershy. Maybe more later? Anyway, toodles!

Ever since the events of his birthday, Spike has feared and suppressed his species' natural behavior. However, when one chains the beast too long, natural tendencies tend to break loose. Spike, along with his friends, must discover a way for Spike to control his natural behavior and continue to live alongside the ones he loves. But is this possible?

Which is more powerful: nature or nurture?

Okay, so I just HAD to do it! The episode Secret of My Excess was one of the episodes that got me watching My Little Pony. I've searched around FIM, but I haven't seen very many stories about Spike dealing with his dragon side (the ones I read were stupendous though). Poor little guy though. If one thinks about it, Spike must combat his demons every day just to be able to live in Ponyville. Plus he's going to outlive all of his friends many, many times over. There's so many things, and he is really one of the most complex and tragic characters on the show...

Which inspired this fanfic!

Also, please tell me how you liked it/give opinions on how I should approve. I'd really appreciate it.

A Spike fanfic with actual, genuine anti-dragon racism? Excellent, let's see how that goes down. And it also looks like Spike is experiencing selective memory loss where his hoarding takes over. He's up against some damn serious internal conflict. I like where this is going, don't you dare stop writing it.

interesting. i like it

I love a good spikefic, and this certainly seems to be shaping up into one. Please continue.

Thank you! And yeah, I took the whole "dragon racism" thing from the ponies' treatment of Zecora. Plus, ponies in general seem to think of the average dragon as just a huge, mindless monster. I guess Ponyville isn't such a tolerant and accepting place, eh?

1649844 1649937

Thanks so much! Yep, I always enjoy a good spikefic myself too. :twilightsmile:

1658959

Well as I was thinking of a username, I looked to the side and saw the closest thing to me. Then I thought "Why not?" and typed it in.

Been Styrofoam ever since. :ajsmug:

It's going well so far,and this story's got potential.Keep up the good work,please and thank you :pinkiehappy:

This is awesome :moustache:

ouch, that hurt,dude

... Well, I guess, Spike is a better man than me. I can stand for a lot, but I would have decked the bastard right then and there. Of course, Rarity did pull him out of the store before he had the chance.

Lit Match and Gasoline it is...let 'im have it Twilight! :twilightangry2:

Man, talk about balls. Spike coulda shredded him.

Please let Twi fond out
Please
Pleeeease :pinkiehappy:

1661743>>1673767>>1674787

Thank you very much! I'm just glad that you guys seem to enjoy reading this.

1674042>>1674836

Yep, we all know that if Rarity wasn't there, that pony would've been completely screwed. Funny enough, Davenport IS cannon (as in the character itself and not the way I've portrayed him), and he actually does tells Spike that he is out of stock on quills in a Quills and Sofas store in the episode Owl's Well that Ends Well I believe.

Also, he just may get a comeuppance later...

Thanks, guys!

Man, that was pretty intense. I hope Rarity isn't just gonna leave this alone. Perhaps she will formulate a plan on how to get rid of this Douchenport. I suggest she write a scathing article for the Ponyville Press on the sickeningly specieist stallion currently doing business in their own town. And they should probably tell Twilight so she can find somewhere else to buy quills. :twilightangry2: Or beat the tar out of him.

Wow, this is starting off to be an amazing story. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

i hope Twilight finds out about this :twilightangry2: and i hope Spike shreds that little shit :moustache:

1678967
Hehehe... yep. :pinkiehappy:

And don't forget the Snozzwangers! The Everfree has a diverse population of flora and fauna.

Interesting idea and nice start to the story.:raritywink:

Do keep up the good work .:twilightsmile:

1674831>>1675167>>1679056
Lol, you guys can't wait to see Twilight beat the living stuffing out of this guy... :twilightangry2: How lovely...

All I can say guys (although this is a pretty generic author statement) is just keep reading. :twilightsmile:

1661743
No, thank YOU for reading.

1679798
Thank you. And honestly you surprised me. Here I was responding to comments and thinking that the above was the last one I'd have to give when suddenly I see a notification stating that someone had just commented on this story. You sly dog you... :trixieshiftright: Ha!

Ink can burn, right ?:twilightangry2:

Nice to show Spike acting like a true gentledrake for his beloved. :raritywink:

Do keep up the good work upon such a great tale.:moustache:

This story is awesome so far! :pinkiehappy:

1679056>>1679676>>1679056>>1675167
You know, I see a very useful solution that involves sticking it to the guy worse than the manly way of fisticuffs.
Twilight is being badgered into going to one of the HIGH class parties, where HIGH class members of NOBILITY gather. And as we all know, HIGH class NOBILITY will side with the princess in as many ways as they can (since it does well for their public image). The princess clearly disapproves of species-ism. Does anyone see where I"m going with this?:pinkiecrazy: (where's a pony evilly plotting when I need one?)

1688648 Oh, but what fun would it be if there's no violence? No fun at all, that's what! But seriously, I had a similar idea where Spike, Rarity, and Princess Celestia planned and acted out a little scenario. They would go about it with exaggerated casualness:

Rarity: Good evening Mr. Davenport, we're here to purchase a set of quills. I just bought some recently, so surely you can't be sold out like you told Spikey-Wikey here.
Davenport: Well actually, um, somepony came in between your visits and placed an order in bulk, so the quills on display aren't available.
Spike: Well that's too bad. Couldn't you set your other customers back in the name of royal correspondence?
Davenport: HA! Royal correspondence! These children and their games...
Rarity: No, he's quite serious. He exchanges letters with Princess Celestia, the ruler and goddess of our country.
Davenport: Ah … r-right. Of course he does.
[Princess Celestia enters]
Celestia: Hello, Spike, Rarity. I decided it would be a nice change of pace to drop in on two of my most faithful and noteworthy subjects so that we may share some time in person. After all, Rarity, you helped save Equestria twice, and Spike, you are like a son to me seeing as I raised you from a hatchling.
Rarity: How marvelous that you stopped by personally. It looked for a minute like this gentlecolt wasn't going to sell any quills to Spike, despite having plenty in stock.
Spike: Not for specieist reasons, I'm sure. We nnnneeeever suspected that.
Celestia: Dear me, I should hope not! This is a very diverse and diplomatic country, and it's only natural that my subjects to be open-minded and accepting of other cultures and peoples. Why, if there were specieists here allowing their prejudices to affect how they do business with their fellow citizens, who have equal rights, such a crime would be dealt with swiftly and permanently. [stares at Davenport] So how about those quill, good sir?
Davenport: *wimper*

You should know that your fic is aweinspiring

Spike was winning, and then, Twilight pulled a fast one.

Spike's insight on politics shows his royal up upbringing nicely, and there were many laughs to be had this chapter.

Shouldn't the pegasi have recognized the word molting? I think they molt feathers.

I love the way you capture the characters so well! Keep it up!:raritywink:

i was kind of writing a fic that has to do with this matter, I mean Spike and his "problem", but is not exactly like this one you wrote. And I have to say thank you for doing this, I so love your story, hope you upload soon! :raritywink:

1700574
Aw, gee, thanks... :twilightsmile:

1700586
Yep, the guy has been raised by Princess Celestia, who has been on the throne for thousands of years. She has to be the ultimate political genius by now, and I figured that Spike must've absorbed something from all of that.

1700624
Nah, Sweetie Belle said 'mulching,' not 'molting.'

1700673
Thanks! I try my hardest to keep the characters as in character as much as I possibly can to make one imagine that this whole situation could actually happen in the future.

1701696
Are you still writing that fic? I would love to read it, and thank you! :raritywink:

1701814
Awesome chapter! :pinkiehappy: Keep it up. :twilightsmile:
Oh and you want to read some fics?:rainbowhuh: Have my fics. :raritywink:
1st one.
2nd one.
Aaand 3rd one.
For the last one you need the password "fireball"

Dragon:moustache:

1701814
:D sure I'm still writing it. I'm editing it yet, though. So i'll upload it once i finish chapter one : ) It won't be as awesome as yours but I'll do my best anyway! :twilightblush:

This is fantastic so far, I'm really liking Spike's development.

*aims the missile battery towards Quills&Sofas*

Oh, don't mind me. I have a question for you, though. What kind of couple is this story about? Because I can only think about three possibilities right now:

-Spilight because dating science continues at home.
-Sparity because the last chapter.
-Spikeloo to avoid 'Stalkerpound':rainbowlaugh:

1700643
:heart: !

1701931
Alright, I'll check those fics out later.

1701987
That's just general author-nerves talking. When I uploaded this fic, I thought it was going to suck balls. Seriously. The only reason I still don't think it sucks balls is that you guys have been telling me it doesn't. I think authors tend to be super critical to themselves--which is a good thing with all the bad trollfics out there.

1702091
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

1702365
lol! What don't you love about Stalkerpound? :scootangel: Ha! You know, I know must write more 'Stalkerpound' now. I love it! Hahaha!

But seriously, it's slowly building up to be a Sparity. I just don't like to suddenly rush into it, but let it build up naturally. Still, I love the close relationship between Spike and Twilight. Their relationship just runs so deep. I just don't see them catching boners for each other after her hatching him as a filly and their growing up together. Kinda like going after your little brother and not the boy-next-door. But that's just my opinion. :twilightblush:

But soon, there are going to be some crack pairings all around...

1704698
aww thank ya ^^ I just hope getting more from you soon, and sure I'll post mine when it's done at least chapter one. It takes time because I speak spanish and writing a story in english is the big deal for me, but I will learn more that way :raritywink:

Great read so far. Please do continue on. :twilightsmile:
