I don't like this pairing one bit or any pairing with Spike really, though SpikeBelle sounds kinda cute.
π: 1 β©: 0
SpikeBelle is nicer than this, I agree.
But I don't ship SpikeBelle as my main ship, even if I like it very much.
I ship Rarity x Harpo and Spike x Topaz (a dragon OC)

I ship Spike with Sweetie Belle too. oh! I am not alone.

this ship gives me the heebie jeebies...it screams pedophile all on it.

OMFG WHERE has this stamp been all my life
π: 0 β©: 0
Yup! a pony that disrespects, friendzones, and treats him like a fucking SLAVE? Yeah, I dislike it.
π: 0 β©: 1
The FRIENDZONE is not real, but I agree with you on everything elseΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Uh, yes it is. Yes, she did kiss him on his cheek. So what? That's not love. It's kinda a sign of "thanks"Β Some people in other country's do that for "welcoming".
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not saying it is love, but friendzoning a child (because. That is what spike is) is the silliest thing ever
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what she does to him mostly..

Despite them being different age (I believe they're 4 or 5 years away). I have my doubts that they will make a good couple. Rarity lead Spike on, and uses her charm for extra hands/hooves around her work or discovery. Spike will find out later on. Plus Rarity usually focus on a pony's interest or looks instead of their personalty.

As I, and others have said before, Spike might be a baby dragon, but that's only in dragon years. In physical years/pony years, he's probably somewhere in his teens, maybe a pre-teen, considering that Twilight hatched him when she was just a filly. (probably only about 5 or 6) Also, we know that dragons grow faster based on their greed, as Secret of My Excess showed us, and Spike has a tendency to suppress his. I really don't think he's THAT much younger than her. I think LuminoZero pretty much had the right idea and made some very good points. I respect if you don't care for this couple. I'm just saying is all.

How do you know dragons age differently? And even if they did you can't compare pony years to dragon years.
π: 0 β©: 1
I never said they age differently. All I said was that they grow faster based on their greed, which the episode Secret of My Excess proved. Since there's no way to prove how they age compared to the ponies, I figure it's about the same as the ponies and about as many years as how long ago Twilight hatched him.
π: 0 β©: 1
I thought you think they age differently because you used terms "dragon years" and "pony years".
π: 0 β©: 1
Well he IS considered a baby dragon, as Twilight has called him in the series before. But that's only in dragon years. I think his years compared to the ponies are about pre-teen or young teen, based on how long ago he was hatched, his personality, and the fact that he's done some pretty amazing stuff, as LuminoZero pointed out.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree he did a lot of amazing stuff but I don't think we should judge his age because of that. I met a lot of 8 years old that acted crazy and I met a lot of 8 years old that were very mature.
Those are only theories though. I think the best way how to find out what their real age is to go and ask Hasbro their real age.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah but we also can't assume that he's really as young as 8, considering Twilight was probably pretty young herself when she hatched him. Like fighting the enemies that were far larger than him all by himself. That's pretty impressive right there. The mane 6 also leave him in charge of things to take care of by himself that most adults wouldn't trust an 8 year old to handle by themselves. Like taking care of the library, Fluttershy's animals, and sometimes cooking. Also, I think he even went off on Canterlot royal business by himself too. Also, he definitely goes through a lot for Rarity, including doing stuff for her that shows that he values her happiness over his own. Like giving her the red gem, trying to help her with Trenderhoof, and also the stuff in the comics, which seem to imply that his feelings for her are very strong, as opposed to some silly kiddy crush, as many see it as.
While I'll admit that you may occasionally meet an 8 year old that's mature for their age, and as such, Spike shouldn't entirely be judged by his mental state, that's still quite a lot of stuff nonetheless. But it's not all about his mental state either. It's also the fact that Twilight looked pretty young herself when she hatched him, as I said. That's the other reason I think he's probably at least a pre-teen or young teen. I admit there's no way to be sure without an official say from Hasbro, but it makes sense to me, with all the facts considered.

Trust me some 8 years old do that kind of stuff. But yes good point anyway. It is not impossible for a Spike to be teen. The only problem is that I imagine mane6 in young adult. Twi maybe was 5-6 years old but we don't know how many years passed from that day and we do not know how ponies and dragons age. Yes without Hasbro we can only guess 
Well I actually remember someone saying that Hasbro claimed that Spike's feelings towards Rarity are just "silly crush" but I am not 100% sure if it's truth.

You mean to tell me that there's 8 year olds that are capable of taking on people/enemies MUCH larger than them by themselves? And/or are trusted by adults to take on such heavy responsibilities all by themselves, including going on royal business, and/or are willing to go through such things just to make their crush happy? If so, I'd be extremely surprised. Really, all the stuff Spike has done for her DOES seem to heavily imply strong feelings.
Many people have said that Hasbro has claimed that. I've google searched it, and the only thing I found was Megan saying "He's a young boy, she's a grown-up. It wouldn't be appropriate." But...as I've said before regarding that comment, she said "young boy", not "child". Depending on how you want to look at it, a pre-teen or a young teen could still be considered a "young boy". And someone as young as 18 could be considered a grown-up, since that's when you're legal age. Megan has a bit of a reputation for lying and making comments like this before. Some of the other writers, on the other hand, almost seem like they support the idea of the two together, considering what they've made him go through for her, including in the comics.
That's what I think. That Twilight was only 5 or 6 when she hatched him. And the mane 6 all seem to be in their late teens or early 20s as things stand now. Probably 17-20 as a guess. That would put Spike somewhere in his teens.
We still don't have any way of being sure without an official statement, but this is what makes the most sense to me, with all the facts considered.

Some of this stuff and rarely.
That's why I said I am not 100% sure. Also I am in a fandom where people lie about that kind of stuff a lot so I do not always believe in what fans said that Hasbro/Disney/Nickelodeon whatever claimed.
π: 0 β©: 1
So just some of it, but not all. Guess that helps to further prove his mentality, at least to some extent.
Yeah people DO have a tendency to lie about this stuff, and when you have a hard time finding it on a google search, you know they're probably just making stuff up to fit their biased hatred. Megan is just one writer anyway, and doesn't have the final say, especially when some other writers seem to support this more than she does. Until we get an official say from Hasbro, it's most logical to go by what we know about the series, which is basically what I'm doing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah.
Tell me about it. I agree on that thing you said about Megan.

This year at San Diego's Comic Con, she made a similar comment about Celesticord. I wonder if she just enjoys screwing with the fans...
π: 0 β©: 1
What did she say about CelestiCord?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think she said that Discord giving Celestia flowers was just an apology, upon being asked if it's hinting at something that we might see in season 5.

Oh yeah. I remember now.

Agreed. I mean yah its cute spike has a crush on rarity. I find it adorable but i'd rather it stick with a cute childhood crush. I imagine spike as a 6 year old rarity is like 12-15.Β

I think I'll respond to the creator, who was calm and respectful, vice some of the commentors who were rude and antagonistic.
I think the biggest issue I hear with this ship is the age difference.Β Well, being that we are never given any real way to gauge physical age besides a few off hand remarks (Sweetie and Rarity were both roughly the same size when Sweetie was five compared to how old she is now.Β Spike was born on the day the Mane Six got their Cutie marks, etc), it becomes a matter of personal view if you decide to go that way.
What I choose to go on is more on the mental maturity level.Β Sure, it is difficult to nail down with so many varied writers, but I think it works well enough.
Spike certainly has quite a few childlike behaviors.Β It is clear that he is in a different 'Mental Age' than the Mane Six.Β Though, with how crazy some of them can act, I don't think the gap is as wide as some would have us believe.
Still, we also have to consider the times Spike has acted far more mature than his size would indicate.Β 'A Dog and Pony Show'?Β He, without hesitation, fought three enemies far larger than him, by himself, to allow her to get away.Β Yes, he would probably have done it for Twilight or the others, but the fact here is that he gave no thought to his own safety or well being.Β Even subdued (stuck up to his neck in the dirt), he did not stop fighting and was actually very effective against the Diamond Dogs.Β Yes, he lost, but the point of this was to examine his mental maturity.
'Secret of my Excess'.Β I'm not talking shipping on this one.Β Regardless of how you see the scene, he was willing to give up something he treasured just to make someone he cared about happy.Β That's hard to do, even for an adult.
'Simple Ways' and 'The Best Night Ever':Β Even knowing that Rarity is seeking the affections of somepony else, while ignoring him, Spike doesn't begrudge her for it.Β He outright helps her in her plans with Trenderhoof.Β Seeing her happy is more important to him than being the one to make her happy.Β That's pretty huge for a 'kid'.
'Inspiration Manifestation':Β This shows Spike's immaturity as well.Β He takes his loyalty to her to its logical extreme, and refuses to challenge what he knows is wrong.Β He became, in essence, a doormat to her.Β This shows him growing beyond that, and shifts the status quo ever so slightly.Β He's still infatuated with her, but he no longer thinks she can do no wrong.Β He'll challenge her if he believes she is wrong.Β They are closer to 'equals' than they were at the start.
IDW Comics 5-8 'Night Mares':Β I won't post details here, for fear of spoilers, but I think this story is a fantastic example of just how much he is willing to go through for her.Β It is rather inspiring.
I don't imagine I will change anyone's mind with this, nor did I intend to 'promote' the shipping.Β People expressed confusion in the ship due to the age difference, so I decided to give some reasoning.
Also:Β Blueblood and Rarity?Β You would pair her with the one character in the show she has shown outright hatred for?Β She didn't even get the chance to blast Suri verbally, but she did with the Prince.Β To suggest any kind of ship with them would require so much reworking on his personality that it seems ludicrous to suggest.

IDK I say the only time age doesn't matter is when they turn 18. After 18 its how high can you go.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
But, as I said, we don't actually know:
A: How old they are.
B: What the relevant ages are for pony relationships.
So going off of physical age is largely pointless, hence why I delved into mental maturity.Β The age laws exist in our society not because of any physical effect of the body, but because eighteen years is believed to be the age when a person can think, reason and respond as an adult.Β The "18 Years" rule is solely based upon assumptions of mental maturity.
If the laws were based purely on physical growth, you would be an adult once you hit puberty.Β But, as we all know, that isn't the case.Β We put a mental 'image' on what an adult looks like, but we have to accept that in alien worlds that view may not be accurate.
