Why does Spike not have wings when every other dragon we've seen does? Surely you can't grow wings as you get older...can you? He is the youngest one we've seen.
>>
>>27244042
Even when we've seen him grow (Cutie Mark Chronicles and Secret of My Excess), he still didn't have wings.
>>
>>27244077
See, I don't know if those are purely "natural" ways for him to grow. Both forms are more like a baby turning giant than Spike aging up rapidly.

The Guardians of Harmony toy based on his Secret of My Excess appearance is called "Big Spike," so it's not necessarily his adult form.
>>
>>27244077
Twilight Sparkle will lose her wings in the end of S6 or the movie.
>>
>>27244042
Was TwiSpike ever a thing?
>>
>>27244124
It was tagged that, but this doesn't really look like shipping.
>>

go on e621 and search for twilight and spike, its a serious ship that i dont entirely support

>>27244478
I just thought it was a cute moment. As for wings he will probably get them when he grows up more.
>>
>spike sad about not having wings
>twilight gives him her wings
>?????
>profit!!!!
>>
>>27244649
More like they will come up with some halfassed explanation as to why he doesn't have them and he won't get them.
>>
>>27244042
Deformity caused by magic being used to hatch him, the wings might not have developed at that point
>>
>>27244124
It almost was but back then the fandom decided their relationship was like "a mother and son" and that shipping them would be like "incest".

So based on that assumption sjws would harass people for shipping it because to them it was ""incest"", so it never became much of anything.

Ironically, Sparity still thrived at the time so it wasn't like people were against interspecies ships.
>>
>>27244721
Have we ever seen other "baby" dragons though?
>>
>>27244757
If they grow by hoarding, and other grown dragons have wings but he didn't, it's safe to assume he has some sort of abnormality/deformity
>>
>>27244042
He's probably just a land dragon. Some dragons fly, some swim, others are just scary bigass lizards.
>>
>>27244769
>>27244769
He didn't grow by hoarding alone or he still would be an infant. And if they won't do it 28th Scootaloo they're not gonna do it with him.

He would probably just get Ember to give him wings somehow. Like, with an asspulled power of that scepter.

>>27244042
The leaked info about the 2017 movie confirmed Spike will not receive wings or anything at all during S06.
>>
>>27245034
It wasn't leaked, it was meant to be presented at a con in Russia. And I guess they'll save it for the movie, as in later in the movie and not spoiled.
>>
>>27244107
Will she give them to spike though?
>>
>>27245136
Yeah, because Twilight care for Spike. Like big sister, like little brother and Twilight loves Spike.
>>
>>27244042
I hope that chicken horse gets wings and tells Spike how horrible it was to not be able to fly, like Rarity telling him about her crush not being returned.

Well, no. Chickens shouldn't fly, but if she did....
>>
>>27245781
It's weirder with Spike, because he's not a cripple like Scootaloo. He just doesn't have them.

Unlike with Scootaloo, it would be much easier to give him wings for no reason, as opposed to giving Scootaloo the ability to fly.
>>
>>27244777
Too bad we haven't seen other dragons like that. Would be cool.
>>
>>27245916
I'd like it if it turns out that Twilight fucked up his hatching. He's probably just a different type of lizard/dragon though.

Or maybe horse food isn't great for dragons and they normally grow them?
>>
>>27244124
It was the first ship I supported in the show...
>>
>>27244042
>Why does Spike not have wings when every other dragon we've seen does?
Because of this faggot.
>>
>>27247195
I really just want him to be like other dragons, seriously "OH HE'S SPECIAL BECAUSE NO WINGS" is lame. And that is too dark.

>>27247504
He was supposed to get wings in G1. Never came out, though. It really only depends how many Spike toys Hasbro wants to sell.
>>
>>27244107
Ah, you updated it.
>>
>>27244042
well if larson was still on the team he could help him with that.
>>
>>27244042
It's a metaphor for how dickless he is.
>>
Spike will get his wings in the movie

and a horn too
>>
>>27250776
The art from the movie was promo art and not designed to spoil anything, so who knows?
>>
Maybe he is an asian dragon, they're often wingless
>>
>>27251199
The ONLY one, though?
>>
>>27251199
No cause other asian dragons will be over in >Chinchongland
>>
>>27251270
The "map" of Equestria showed a Chinese "dragon," but it still had wings.
>>
>>27244042
they're just building up for the 'spike get his wings' episode that will never come
>>
>>27244888
So you're saying Spike is indeed a bitch
>>

Hooo I need more like this.

Every time a bell rings, a dragon gets their wings.
>>
>>27244042
maybe he'll grow wings as he ages. shedding his scales revealing his wings.

no dragon has ever pointed out his winglessness that i can recall.
>>
>>27252546
They've pointed out that he can't fly, but not implied that there are other kinds of dragons.
>>
>>27244042
Because he's the designated comedy cuck. He's male enough to emasculate, and that's it.

After being called a scrawny wimp by Garble, Spike takes steroids to bulk up.

>>27253122
I don't like shipping. Or fighting. What now?

>Sparity
>Starspike
>Emberspike

Spike has god-tier ships in general. Maybe he should just be shipped with a harem.
>>
>>27253222
>Starspike
But they like only interacted for a bit in one episode and it wasn't even romantic
>>
>>27253049
That would be hilariously sad.
>>
>>27253834
just like Emberspike, don't stop people from saying they're going to get married
>>
>>27254272
>One single interaction that wasn't romantic
>Single handedly teaching someone to understand their feelings and trusting them to be a good person

It's different.
>>
>>27254279
no it isn't, Spike through out the whole episode called Ember a friend, never once did he act the same way does towards Rarity, nor was the hug he gave Ember anything more than a friendly hug
>>
Maybe there is some kind of contaminant in parts of Equestria that hinders wing development, that would also explain Scootaloo.

When dragons go through their coming of age ceremony at the time when they are allowed personal responsibility they are given a magical gemstone. The stone is the seed of magic that they must protect all of their lives by burying it at the bottom of a horde of riches beyond compare. Upon first touching this personal artifact they grow their wings for the first time, and leave the clutch to go make their way in the world.
>>
>>27254374
This would be really cool, would he just keep the gem near all of his friends?
>>
For a Grimderp headcanon:
>Celestia didn't want a full powered dragon to be running around Canterlot with no leash
>So she basically used her magic to massively neuter Spike's ability to naturally grow, lobotomized the centers of his brain responsible for aggression, and has more binding spells put around him than a demon summoned by Solomon
>Celestia actually massively regrets this and dreads the day she'll be forced to explain this to him.
>>
>>27254381
Spike isn't heavily effected by the Dragon instinct for greed. He'd give the stone to Twilight or Rarity to protect for him as a show of ultimate trust and friendship that few other dragons ever get to experience.
>>
>>27254393
Won't more and more experience it as Ember rules longer? But I get your point.
>>
>>27254407
Ember is a shrewd lady. She may be able to understand the benefit of having allies that are true friends, but she knows that her cleverness is not a trait shared by most of her kind. She wants to rule. She stated flat out that she wanted power to show the other dragons and her dad that her brains made her a better candidate than the brawny others. Now that she has power she'll probably want to keep it, and spreading the magic of friendship doesn't seem like it would matter much to her. I do think she's gonna want a piece of the pie from making treaties and agreements with the pony and griffon nations though. I just can't see her caring whether or not the other dragons get all cuddly.
>>
>>27254463
I think she might spread it a little bit, because Spike did touch her emotions.

What I do look forward to is Ember writing to Spike about growing up or something. Would be interesting to see.
>>

They feel like mother/son sister/brother. Its natural for you to not like it unless youre into incest shipping.

I think, my heart would melt, when Twilight would comfort Spike, when he goes full down-spiral emotionally.

>I'm useless
>You know it well, that You're not
>No one wants me
>That's not true. I deeply care for You and so our family and friends.
>I'm a.. a FREAK!
>no..
>wingless freak of nature who will never grow up! What am I supposed to believe in now, Twilight. What is my meaning of life!?<sobs>
>Spike, don't, You're more than this. You know it... I know it. You will find it, no, WE will find it, together, like we always do. Because, we care for each other, not because You're my asisstant. Heck, I couldn't care less about it now...
spike frowns
>But, because You're my brother. And maybe we're not bound by kinship, but by love. And that's what matters Spike. Never forget that. We have the same family. Mom, Dad, our brother, they all love You as much I do.
...
>Why did she do that to me?
>I wish, I could have answer for that. I am trying to find answer for that, since I've learned about it. It actually gives me to question more than this, Celestia shouldn't ... I'm sorry Spike... I don't know.
...
>Twilight?
>Yes, Spike?
>Did I ever told You how much I love You?
>Actually, You always prefer to show it to me. Everyday, since I remember.

>>
>>27259457
See Twilicorn and CMC. If they want to sell new toys, they will.

>>27259469
Yeah, like they need to do things to portray Celestia as even WORSE. I really hope she and Ember talk about Spike and tell him more about himself or something.
>>
>>27259469
>>27260123
I actually kind of want to see it too.

Also, being a bit of an edge fag, I want to see a sort of calm anger from Spike confronting Celestia on such a thing.

>"'Sorry'? You say you're 'sorry' now? After all these years. After hiding this from me after all this time?"
>"Spike, I had never wanted you to find out this way-"
>"And how would you have wanted me to find out? No, seriously, how were you planning to break this to me gently?"
Celestia hugs Spike and begins to cry
>"I will fix this, I promise. I know I won't deserve forgiveness even afterwards, but I hope to make it right. Just a little."
Spike slowly pushes Celestia away
>"You're right... You won't be getting forgiveness. Not because of what you did to me, but because of how you lied to me. All those times you said you 'trusted me' and all you saw was a horrible, greedy, violent dragon, even from when I was a baby. You are not forgiven Celestia, not now, not ever."

There is this too, honestly, Celestia has basically done jackshit since the show began and her role got further reduced when they revealed her and Luna's primary jobs could have been done by a bunch of unicorns.

Shit, Luna's honestly done far more than Celestia by this point.
>>
>>27260399
If anything, she could give him wings the same way she gave Twilight them and it would be an improvement.
>>
because he is a faggot
>>
>>27244042
Because Spike is deformed. It's a result of the magic that Twilight had spout of her horn during her test to get into Celestia's school. It's her fault that Spike will never have wings, and she knows it's her fault.
