Majestic Hamster


Will do tricks for treats.

T

Over the past couple of months Spikes feelings for Rarity have only grown, and with the increase, so does the pain grow inside. She doesn't seem to notice his affection, and worst of all, everypony he knows is against his feelings. Always putting a blockade between him, and her.

The only way that Spike seems to find any release from his agony, is to write to no one in particular on what is troubling him. Words that will be seen by nobody but himself...

6430232 why, thank you kind sir.:twilightsmile:

Not a fan of Twilight and Spike being siblings... but your story is so powerful. :fluttercry:

6430943 Thank you very much, I've always got the siblings vibe myself, but that is just how I see it.

Eeeyup, this story deserves a like :)
I for one often end up feeling a little sorry for Spike, unrequited crushes, infatuations and loves are no fun at all.

6431176 Thank you kind, sir. I've always found the pairing of Rarity and Spike to be a conundrum as well, but for other reasons. Reasons like Spike's crush on Rarity is like a students crush on their teacher, sure it's cute, a bit creepy, but still kinda cute. It's when it goes beyond a simple crush that it gets on the really creepy side; anything other than a peck on the cheek just trends into dangerous waters.

It is still shipping, so if you like the ship more power to you, that is the fun of shipping after all.:twilightsmile:

Agreed there, Spikes crush is that of a child (and here's the bit where I sound really, really old...), and I recall just how real it felt when I was a child too. Just didn't know any better back then.
As for them shipping... I dunno, apart from that bit at the end of 'Secret of My Excess' where Rarity stops Spike from confessing as they plummet groundward, she seems largely oblivious to his feelings, treating him fondly and tenderly, but with no romantic intent.
And poor Spike, I figure he'll eventually just get over it and meet somepony/dragon else.
There's an idea for a fic, Spike's in a serious relationship, Rarity has settled with her special Stallion, and the two meet up to reminisce and share stories over a drink and have a jolly laugh over it all...

6431382 That actually sounds like a nice little slice of life story, you could totally go somewhere with that little idea. I'll read it; that's for sure.:twilightsmile:

And that sums up my feelings for Sparity.

6431898 Got the inspiration for the story from the discussions I had on Sparity. I felt like I could make a nice little one-shot with the ideas I conjured up in the discussions, so thus, this was born.

I don't care what people ship, more power to them, I just never really understood the whole Sparity thing. That is the joy of shipping though, you can do whatever you want with it.

Spike isn't really a kid, in my opinion. Let's say that Twilight hatched him at the age of five or six, and that she's maybe 22 or so. That would mean Spike would be 17 years old.

Of course, we have no absolute evidence of their ages.

6432186 He acts like a kid, and is portrayed as a kid in the show. On top of that, when you're hatched from an egg, I'm pretty sure that means you were just brought to life as in not even a year old. Well, unless this is an Inheritance Cycle egg...

Of course as I said many times before, whatever floats your boat, ship as much as your little pony hearts desire. I'm certaintly not stopping you.:raritywink:

P.S it is true we don't know the definitive age of the cast of ponies, but that just means they're more malleable in fanfiction.

6432260 I meant Twilight hatched him when she was five or six.

6432453 Sorry, misread what you said... :twilightblush:

6432453 Actually, Spike is 10, because Twilight hatched him around 8.

I worked this out a while back based on various context clues. AJ says she was "littler" than the cmc when she got her mark, so we can infer she was slightly younger, but not by much.

We see Rarity at Sweetie's fifth birthday party the same size as present day, but Sweetie herself is teeny tiny. This implies Rarity has hit her max height by then, but Sweetie has some major growth coming. I put Rarity at 13-14 at the party, making her 18-19 now, thus making Sweetie Belle, who is a late bloomer, around 10

Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie. She is also the largest of the six at the time of cutie mark aquisition. She's already hitting her growth spurt.

Twilight fears "going back to magic kindergarten. This implies she was in it at least for a time, long enough to hate it. Most children start school around 5-6, so being in kindergarten for 2-3 years is long enough to hate it. This makes Twilight around 8 as well.

tldr: Spike is around 10.

6432186 That's exactly what I think when I see Spike.Fans would not be having these problems if Hasbro or THX gave us their ages.Or at the very least Twilight's age.From there, It's not much of a stretch to guess the casts' ages.

6432453 Side note, you don't want to do the math to guess the age of a pony to human years.

6432702 Umm...don't you mean Rarity is 18-19 and Sweetie Belle is 13-14.

Hi im kinda new and this is the first story i read it was an amazing story:raritywink:

6432929 Thank you very much.:pinkiehappy:

Welcome to the site, it's fantastic to have you here.

6432835 Well, I did say the mane six are ranged in age, but as for Rarity, I think she's around 18-19, and Sweetie I peg at around 10-11 by now. I think there is roughly an 8 year gap between them. The CMC all seem a little old to not have cutiemarks, but still in the tween range.

It's nice to see a diSparity fic. My main problem with Sparity is that the two are incredibly vain; Rarity is the most superficial pony in Ponyville, and Spike is only attracted to her on a physical level. There's nothing there. If a writer can establish more elements to their relationship, I might change my mind. Until that happens, though, I disapprove of this ship. Good fic, not-so-great grammar. Also, I get the impression you're using phrases you've heard but never seen written before, such as "once and awhile". It's more obvious in your comments than the fic, though, so don't worry about it too much. I'm not trying to be rude or insult you, only improve the reading experience, as it is distracting to see errors. Spend some more time editing, or have someone edit your fics for you. Aside from that, it accomplished what it set out to, so pat yourself on the back for not having a generic fic.

6439272 I would like to hear what the errors are, it is one thing to say that there are errors, and another to point them out to the author. Also, trust me when I say I've seen these things written before. I don't go into something without prior knowledge of it.

As for editing, I went over this multiple times to work out the wrinkles, and even had some friends read it over for me. As stated above, if I did miss something, its better to tell me what I missed instead of telling me I messed up.

Great story... Just please correct the few errors :pinkiecrazy:

6440284 It's better to say the errors than it is to say there are some. I don't have any guidance if no one points the way.:derpytongue2:
