When Celestia decides Spike is finally ready to learn about his true dragon heritage, the young dragon is introduced to a whole new side of himself.

This side, unfortunately, includes an incredibly stupid surname.

In order to have it changed, he must embark on a perilous adventure through the dangerous world of civil court bureaucracy.

Oh man this is great I am loving it. I can't wait to see what will happen next

Why can't he be called The Swagon?!?!!!

Yeah, I pity Spike, what with his very emasculating surname and all. I'll bet girly surnames are the norm in Equestria.

Oh boy (or boi, I suppose). This is going to be a fun ride. :pinkiehappy:

Thanks mate :heart:
Next chapter is about halfway done

9185700
Because there's no justice in the world.

9185756
Interesting take, to me it was only because it sounds utterly stupid, not so much to do with masculinity. I like to think they're quite forward thinking on gender identity/expression
Thanks for reading!

9185882
Haha you're damn right boi, hope you like what's to come :raritywink:

9185895 You're welcome. In the internet, no one takes people with girly handles seriously and they turn out to be one of the more dangerous players in competitive settings and I figure that ponies with edgy names have this treatment.

Why did I keep reading "Sparkleboi" in the voice of Pegasus (Yu-gi-oh) ?

Just this chapter is already far better than Father Knows Beast.

Thankfully, if he's going for Sparkle as his new Surname, he could try to pass it off as a sort of Mis-spelling if needed. Claim that "Boi" was a mistranslation and nothing more.

Wow that guard is a piece of shit.

Ugh, this makes waiting at the DMV seem more fun.

9187662
Celestia's a piece of shit. Though Spike not just replying to her that he thinks his "name" is a cruel unfunny joke she is making at his dignity's expense and demanding she reverse what she has done is pretty stupid.

9187804 Trollestia strikes again.:ajbemused:

And now I need to procure garments that I can dub litigation garments on the off chance I ever have the opportunity to demand someone fetch them.

Maybe it means something grandiose in another language. Or perhaps they have just heard much, much worse.

SWAGON KING BAY-BAY!!!!

'ooh don't use your magic on me High Wizard Sparkleboi'.

Goddamn it man you made me choke on my tea. :rainbowlaugh:

I'm also loving the utterly sincere, and yet completely infuriating, continuing celebrations by proud semi-parental figure Celestia. Good stuff.

Fuck's sake now I'm doing it too
9186840
That bad then? I stopped watching the actual show (aside from Rarity episodes) quite a while back so I'm not really in the know anymore. Honestly I think it went quite downhill the second they gave Twilight wings which is why I always write her as a unicorn in golden oaks still.
9187240
You can't go hiding the BOI my son
9187669
How bad is it? I don't hear too many complaints in the UK about whatever our equivalent is but I see a lot of you guys across the pond speak about the DMV like the seventh circle of hell
9187690
Glad you like it mate!

The next chapter is an interlude surrounding the princesses and I'm leaving it pointedly unresolved as to whether they're doing this as a joke or not. I actually quite like the idea that they're just incredibly tone-deaf personally
9188316
I assume this is only the tip of the iceberg in a world where people would unironically call their child things like 'Rainbow Dash' or 'Granny Smith'
9188654
Feeling a solid YEET on this one son
9190662
Haha glad you liked it buddy. The next chapter is actually an interlude focusing on the princesses so hopefully it'll be right up your alley then :raritywink:

New chapter's about halfway done. It's not a very long one though as it's more of an interlude

9222652 It's pretty much a lotta waiting if you don't set up an appointment online or on your phone and enough paperwork to boggle the mind; especially involving important documents. It's also agonizing in the sense that it takes forever until the PA calls your number or wha'not. So yes, I might as well consider the DMV a necessary hell in this case because I wouldn't be able to get my license if it wasn't.

OMG!!!! This just seem cruel lol. I honestly HONESTLY think Luna is trolling everyone. I think she knows it is a dumb ass name and can't miss the chance to fuck with Spike and Celestia. I mean come one, her talking Celestia down from a second opinion just screamed that for me. Getting someone else to double check something doesn't mean you are flexing your power it is far more reasonable to want someone to look something over. HELL they know EMBER she coudl have told them this all instead of a pony who just seem to be making things up as he goes along. Not to mention her encouraging Celestia to change EVERYTHING connected to Spike to that new shitty name lol. Luna is trolling and I think she is loving this.

9262433
Trolling? No, it honestly seems like outright stupidity. Spike's relationship with them has been ruined.

You got to realize that Dragon Lord Ember and Smolder will not accept this last name of Spike and perhaps could order him.

Luna's really set on not allowing Spike to change his surname. I'm not surprised that Equestria prefers cute or embarrassing naming conventions.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys here, the princesses are, at least from my perspective, entirely sincere in this. Originally I was going to write this to be really annoyingly noncommittal in terms of their apparent motivations and basically write a declaration to that effect into every other line. But when I started writing that it was only funny for a short time before it became overly samey and grating.
I've always had a soft-spot for writing Celestia and Luna as really fucking dopey, there's quite a large portion of one of my other stories dedicated to it, and I figured the best way to do it was to make them ridiculously over-enthusiastic as well as totally unable to see how idiotic a surname 'Sparkleboi' is.

That said, I do think death of the author is, for the most part, a fairly sound idea so if you want to read it as one of them purposefully fucking with Spike then that's also totally valid, just wanted to clear up what my intention was when writing it.

Also I stopped watching the show quite a while back so I don't actually know who Ember or Smolder are beyond the fact that they're dragons and current characters. Honestly I think the whole thing really tanked in a major way when they made Twilight a princess so, save the Rarity focused episodes, I've not watched much since then. That's why I always write Twilight as a unicorn still

Nice chapter, the princesses are as clueless as ever.

Not only does Spike get his own personal road to hell, but two Princesses to pave it.

This is interesting for sure. I wonder how Rarity view Spike? I mean it would be funny if they all find out more about Spike from all of this, like his real age, or other information about him.

SPIKE HAS THE RIGHTS TO NAME HIS LAST!!!!!

This just keeps on getting better. And the Royal Sister's well-meaning cluelessness last chapter was great too!

This is just one big trolling!:trollestia:
But, at least Spike has company!:moustache::facehoof::duck:

9263063
Cheers buddy :twilightsmile:
I love those two celestial idiots I really do.

9263310
That was far more poetic a statement than this unforgiveable garbage fire of a story deserved, but I thank you for it all the same :heart:

9265421
How did you find out my ultimate plans for this story?

9265568
To be honest I always thought everyone, including Spike, was pretty in the dark about it all. I mean they don't even know why they got his egg. Still, watch and find out I guess!

Without giving too much away, he might not have all that company for too much longer :raritywink:
