Huh. Well, I have been recently beginning to suspect that somepony or something had managed to legitimately curse Spike with misfortune (the wat the universe kicks him in the shins everytime he goes out onh is own); I had suspected Discord (now-forgotten-about payback for hsi part in Discord's defat at Twilight's hooves), but clearly I was mistaken; is it instead Owlicious who is the mastermind?
Diabolical.
Always the quiet ones, eh?
*shakes fist at owl*
*claps*
Well done good Brony. Well done.
I don't know how I missed that pun in the Writeoffs. Augh.
Either the owl is deluded or an asshole. Spike should set him on fire
6202016 :>
6202722 The owl's delusional. That was my intention, at least.
This really ruined the story for me. It was so much more enjoyable believing that Owlicious was completely delusional, and was stupidly thinking he was going to marry Twilight when he was really more of a pet.
6202848 That's interesting. I figured that it would still follow the delusion. In his eyes, he's doing a bit of self-sacrifice, all for her.
Also, I wanted a way for the owl to remain with Twilight, but doesn't leave them married. I feel like the show barely shows the two together enough for that to be believable--I think the owl's only featured prominently in around three episodes.
6202848
Same here.
6202889 Well, yes, that would work, but the problem was that he, completely coincidentally, made the decision to be the Number 2 assistant at roughly the same time Twilight felt the need to tell Spike he was the Number 2 assistant. I think a better ending would be to for it to continue to the part where Twilight tells Spike he's the Number 1 assistant, then Twilight 'telepathically' tells Owlicious that she's lying to preserve Spike's extremely delicate ego and because of this their eternal love must be a secret. Then Owlicious will consider it another reason why Twilight's a perfect and selfless goddess.
But otherwise I really did enjoy this.
6202960 I disagree that it was completely coincidental, but it was rather quick, yes. I'll admit, the ending's a little... compact, in that way. However, I think the ending you're propsing puts the owl in too much of a passive role, like more of an observer than an instigator, and I don't like that. I feel also feel like my ending acheives the same goals as your ending.
Please forgive me if I'm being dense or dragging this discussion out. I'm just trying to figure out what you were looking for, and perhaps where I went wrong.
6203011 Regardless of which is the objectively better ending, because it can very hard to tell with fiction, the ultimate problem with your ending was that it made it sound like Owlicious was really speaking telepathically with Twilight the whole time, and that Twilight only told Spike he would be her number 1 assistant forever just because Owlicious was willing to make the sacriface. You would have needed to have Twilight be the one to originally say the idea or else it seems like Owlicious was never actually delusional, and Spike was even more in the wrong and dumber than he was in canon.

Hmm, I see. Well, that is a problem. I did want this all to be in his head. My bad, then. Thanks for helping me pinpoint the issue.
Aw, that was cute, thumbs up!
Well, I'm sorry I put off reading this until now. Quite enjoyable, as it was in the Writeoff, and giving much needed and hilarious character to Owlowiscious. Thank you for posting it on Fimfiction.
THIS.
IS.
GLORIOUS.
I was expecting a continuous stream of inane owlish customs. I was not disappointed.
(Dumping on Spike was a nice touch, too.
)

This was slightly disconcerting, but fun nonetheless!
