    Spike

    I have always wondered why so many people hate Spike. If you were to ask 100 Bronies who they like more, Princess Luna, or Spike, I am willing to bet Luna will win.

    Almost summer!! (It probably will be by the time you read this.)

    For me, I am finally about to welcome summer. I will be able to work more on my stories now, maybe start new ones, etc. Sorry if I don't write much, I don't like to start writing, but when I do, I can't stop. Think of it like taking a shower or bathing, if that's how you feel. But with the pressure of school almost gone, (It'll be back next year) I should be less stressed about writing. Maybe

    New Story

    I am working on a CMC story, however, I am going to try to do one chapter a day, so they are going to be less than 1k, but I want to be able to start getting into this habit. Once I have a whole complete vision of the story, I will start uploading them. (I will write one a day, but I might not be able to upload one a day, we will see.)

Spike · 5:17am Sep 5th, 2014

I have always wondered why so many people hate Spike. If you were to ask 100 Bronies who they like more, Princess Luna, or Spike, I am willing to bet Luna will win.
I happen to have a problem with that. People always hate on Spike for his personality, yet Luna only ever been a main character in 2 episodes. (Correct me if I am wrong.) I know she has potential, and I can totally see why people like her, but she would probably get a lot more votes. I always feel bad for Spike in his episodes, and almost all of them have flaws, that were the writers fault. Why would I use that as an excuse? Because when a different character, like Pinkie Pie for example, acts like a jerk, (Filli Vanilli) people just ignore it. I know there are a lot more times that Spike is a jerk, but a lot of people still don't forgive him regardless of if it was his first or sixth time acting like one. I will admit, I am probably heavily biased in Spike's favor, (I always find one character that just ends up being my favorite, him sharing my kind of humor among other things.) and I am pretty sensitive around people I don't know, go ahead, be rude to me if that's what you want to do, I just want you to take into consideration that some people were just raised differently, not everyone can just ignore things.

Now that I have talked about how people outside the show treat him, I want to talk about how the show itself treats him.
Most of the time he is just a punching bag for basically anyone, or anything, his personality changes based on the writer, whenever he actually does something good, he doesn't get much credit for it. I don't know who he and Twilight would be. Sometimes they act like brothers and sisters, sometimes mother and son, and sometimes she just calls him her friend. Whether the show wants to admit it or not, Twilight is a pretty bad 'friend' to Spike. Their backstory is still unknown, the only canon one is full of plotholes, and a good idea that Lauren Faust had for it was never shown on screen so far. Their backstories are important, and Twilight needs to stop treating him like he is as young as the CMC. He is smart, and he is very capable of doing a lot of things, but sometimes she still treats him like he is some creature that still has trouble walking.

The last problem I have with Spike is him and Rarity.
No offense to the Sparity shippers, but this should have stopped a long time ago.
Rarity will constantly act like a jerk around him, getting him to do things for her that she should be doing, he isn't her assistant. And they both know that Rarity doesn't like Spike any more then a friend. Just when it seems like Spike will shut up about Rarity, he goes off again. The episodes where he has shown his love to her didn't end on cliffhangers, she has showed him she isn't interested in him, so leave it at that.

Again, just wanting to be truthful, I am biased on that too, I happen to like a different Spike shipping.
I am sure this is probably years late, but I have been wanting to rant about Spike, by now I have forgotten most of what I was going to say, but I have still said a good amount.

I could probably come up with better arguments, but I think you still get the point. Hopefully Spike gets episodes in season 5, and I mean good episodes. Hopefully the writers don't ruin him even more.
(If you want to message me about this, feel free to. Pm me, and I will get back to you if you want to have an intelligent discussion about this, or if you want to add anything I missed.)

(Btw I wrote this at like 1 AM so if there are any typos or grammatical errors please ignore them.)
