Maybe if Spike wasn't seen as Rarity's tool the entire show that lesson would work, but it doesn't. Rarity only "loved" him because he worked for her and was useful in her shopping trips
You know combine this with the episode Forever Filly I think Rarity may have issues regarding how life changes over time, she doesn't seem to mind change in and of itself but when she realizes that time is passing. Perhaps Rarity has some fears about the passing of time as a whole?
@@travisb.honest2438 Having the fact that you're getting older sucks super goddamn hard! Especially so in your mid to late 20's when you begin to realize that you're not young anymore.
It might also have to do with the fact that she's diving into her work all the time, so changes always come as a big surprise to her. She's so distracted by her creative side that her other needs always get neglected until it's too late.
I'm just glad Rarity finally realized that Spike's happiness is what comes first, because let's be honest, the little guy deserves a lot more love in his life.
At an end Sparity's rule is, and not short enough it was. But for real, I'm glad it's over. Spike is a kid and Rarity is an adult, there was no way this was happening and the fact that so meany people legit wanted this ship morally disturbs me. Spike had a crush on someone older but now he's moving on. This was the only mature solution and it was bound to happen as he grew up, I'm proud of him.
While Rarity had been taking Spike for granted, I did feel bad for her because it seemed like Spike was enjoying the activities she provided him to get his attention more than spending that time with her. It's like she meant nothing to him anymore.
Far from ending Sparity, I think this was about as close to confirming the ship as the writers would have been allowed. Going any further is and always going to be the realm of fanfiction.
Alabenson your right but I heard they will be making gen 4 into a comic and it connected to the final episode so we could still get sparity just in comic form
Sabrina Seña well the only one so far until season 10 comics is the new Christmas comic it’s the first story holiday hassle I’m really sorry that I took so long to get back to u 😔😔😔
.....I thought Rarity went to a midlife crisis. Fantastic episode great to see Gabby again and oh boy the fanfiction is going to be wild. Next week best Pony episode can't wait. Spike and Rarity haven't had an episode together since Season 4 Inspiration Manifestation.
Despite how oblivious Rarity was during this episode, Spike and Rarity still remain friends. And that shows that strong bonds of friendship cannot be easily broken
This was probably one of my favorite episodes of the season. I loved seeing Gabby again and having her and Spike form such a close friendship. And I will never stop rooting for Sparity!
Graeme Pischke sparity forever u might like this I heard even after the show ends they are Turing gen 4 comic that connect to the show we could get sparity in comic form
I just like how the episode is able to satisfy anyone regardless of their feelings about sparity. This episode has both moments that support and possibly disprove sparity. I personally believe that they do get closer once spike gets older, but I understand not everyone will interpret it that way and that’s perfectly fine
Agreed. The idea of Spike and Gabby being friends, especially as a possible ship came completely out of nowhere. I never thought of that. Also, great comparison to Discord’s behavior in “Make New Friends but Keep Discord”.
The way I see it, the whole Sparity thing is open for interpretation. It's not Cannon, but it isn't sunk either. The way I see it this episode opens the possibility of Spike and Rarity having a healthier relationship whether platonic or romantic. It shows that Spike can still care for Rarity without obsessing over her, and it helps Rarity realize how much Spike actually means to her and how much she likes just having him around. Whether this would lead to a romantic relationship or not is up to interpretation. Basically if you want to see them together you will see this as confirmation, if you don't you won't, and if you hate the idea of them together you will see this as an example of Spike being with someone else. In the end we will all see what we want here but in the end nothing is confirmed or debunked, but imo I see this a situation where Spike and Rarity's relationship matured
I'm glad that Spike has found someone closer to his age that he could have a realistic romance with. Although this episode was hard for me to watch; it was basically how my first serious relationship spanning 5 years broke apart. It went from us living together, to him breaking up with me and hooking up with a new girl in under 24 hours, spending every moment away with her and treating me like an annoying grieving fly. This caused me to disbelieve he had loved me (you don't get over someone you've loved for half a decade in under 24 hours) and, having basically the identical happen again to me five years later, has led me to the conclusion that I am entirely as replaceable as a fast food paper cup, that I am not lovable and to give up dating entirely since 2015.
I love the idea of Spike getting over his crush on Rarity, and how Rarity learned not to take him for granted. I honestly wanted Spike, Rarity, and Gabby to be friends that way they can all hang out together. But this was an overall great episode! :3
What I'm glad for in this episode is how rarity finally gets called out for her behavior when it comes to taking spike for granted and finally learning from it. Like, I love rarity, she's amazing and still is my favorite pony. I can still understand how she feels with 'losing' a best friend who's been stuck to her side forever, but this one habit of hers taking advantage of spike irks me to no end. To me it's a lot more important for rarity to better herself instead of the endless shipping/relationship drama speculation that has been dragged on forever
It's amazing. The show actually managed to close the arc of a ship without explicitly ending the ship (yes, they left some room for SpaRity shippers to have hope) as well as leaving hope for other Spike/Rarity ships.
Am I the only one who felt it was opened about Sparity? Their relationship is far from over and Spike didn't seem romantically interested in Gabby. But I will say It's a sweet episode and seeing Spike moving past just being at Rarity's beck and call is well earned. And yes. Rarity overreacting was pure comedy gold.
Hawbitten gabby is just a new friend that spike has a lot in common with he’ll always love rarity the ending of the episode pretty much proves that and still will continue sparity is far from over
This is by far my favorite episode above all the other episodes that’s come before it. It’s entertaining to see Rarity actually getting jealous for Spike’s attention and affection when he’s hanging out with a new girl in town. And that girl is Gabby. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Gabby too. She’s an adorable, outgoing griffin, and the chemistry she and Spike has together is fun. And the fact those two have been pen pals since the episode “The Fault in Our Cutie Marks” really speaks up how long they’ve been friends together. Still, I’m just surprised as you are to see Rarity actually getting jealous of Spike’s time spent with Gabby. Even the looks on her face says it all, when she sees Spike and Gabby having smoothies together. I didn’t know she actually cared about Spike until this episode, where we see it all from her perspective of the arc. Otherwise, I’m sure she would do the same thing to Spike when another “good looking” stallion, or even Capper, comes her way. And when that happens, she wouldn’t even miss Spike all that much, and he’ll be free to hang out with Gabby. Right?
This is part of my top 10 good moral episodes in MLP. You can really see sincere character developments throughout this episode and the relationship between Spike and Gabby really got the "AWWWWWWWWW!!!" out of me. It's probably one of the few good Spike episodes we watched besides Gauntlet of Fire. :D
So just a thought, given how Sparity (not really) Fluttercord and SugarMac are basically canon, does this mean Guys' Night is now Couples' Night? FanFic writers, to your stations!
@@killgriffinnow And I just choose to ignore it. There is not only the Fact that Discord is immortal and much, MUCH older than Fluttershy, but also the Fact that he is not even a Pony. I just don't see any Ships with him that could work if I am honest.
@@killgriffinnow In the episode 'She talks to Angel' when Angel is in Fluttershy's body and making fun of her by putting emphasis on things that are true about Fluttershy in a bad attempt to make them believe she's Fluttershy, Angel/Fluttershy also jokingly said 'I wanna marry Discord'. If you need anymore proof Dr. Wolf did a video about that same moment
@@johannesseyfried7933 A) Spirit of chaos, anything can happen B) Considering his immense magic, even if Fluttershy dies, he can probably just poof her soul into his realm to live with her
@@maxzapsgamingzepzeap2337 I am still not really comfortable with it, sorry. True, he is very powerful, but we have never seen that Discord can bring back the Dead.
I honestly hated this episode from the first scene, if only because there was no middle ground, and it felt like the writers had decided to do something just "because". You have a friendship/ship that has existed for 8 seasons between Rarity and Spike, and then out of seemingly nowhere, Spike suddenly decides that he wants to spend every single day with Gabby, and to hell with Rarity. She understandably has no clue what is going on, because Spike has suddenly decided...what? Rarity doesn't matter to him anymore?! He then doesn't seem to see that he's paying his long-time friend 0% attention, and she has to go out of her way to make him do ANYTHING with her anymore. Then when Gabby finds out that (in a complete 180 to her usual character) that Spike is paying attention to his original BFF rather than 100% attention to her, she "dumps" him?! And RARITY is the one who is supposed to feel guilty!? SHE then reconciles things (despite not wanting to because she knows what will happen if she does), and Spike then IMMEDIATELY disappears without even thanking Rarity! (At least Gabby does that at least), and then RIGHT at the very end of the episode, Spike decides that he's going to spend at least 10% of his time with Rarity. NOPE, sorry, that's NOT the Spike or Gabby I know! And the message of the episode is "friendships change"? and they show that by messing with the established personalities and friendships of three characters, out of nowhere... This episode did NOT need to exist.
Me someone who ships sparity: HEEEEELLLLPPP MEEEEEEE I’M DROWNING MY SHIP IS SINKING HEEEEELLLLPPPP! drwolf001: I would LOVE to see Spike and Gabby together
Like is not the end of the ship. It Just let open for interpretation, afther all they both like each others Company. Like Spike was hangging out Gabby because he made a New friend, nothing serious, or like i dont Care about spending time with rarity. The episode itself Just stabilished rarity also enjoy spike's Company. Like Just use your imagination, like How many ships are Cannon in the show for us to say they ended in the First place ? The main Focus here is "interpretation" not ship Wars or saying the ship ended. Is up to us to decide and interpretate the way we want afther all.
This episode definitely worth to watch again, especially those hilarious Rarity moments. I can't wait KP to use those moments to beg Princess Celestia and Discord to fulfill her Dislestia ship which is never going to happen, but it will be hilarious to watch.
I'm really glad that we got some closure on Sparity, something I've been wanting for the past couple of seasons. Even though Spike will always harbor some feelings for her since she was his first crush, its nice seeing him move on. Though him and Gabby as couple was something I never even thought of but after this episode, I think Spike x Gabby is pretty cute.
PC-The- Unicorn When was it stated that him and Gabby are a couple? Why do you think that? You do realize that just because two people of the opposite sex hang out together that doesn’t automatically mean they’re romantically together, right? I’m male and I possibly have MORE female friends than male friends and I’m not dating any of them, I’m just saying it’s possible for a man and woman to hang out and not be romantically interested in each other.
As the element of Generosity she flooded him with gifts and the things he loves to do. But on the other part she became greedy to keep him all to herself remember Tom The boulder. So i feel the elements of the main 6 are more intune with there emotions and actions as theyres like a yin yang effect heck i even remember crysalis creating the mean 6. I love the factor each episode gives our girls the highs and lows of themselves as individuals and lessons they learn as well. Also Rarity with the record was the best God bless Tabitha 😂 And another moment doc was Twilight throwning away the drama couch and rarity comes up with another one seriously thats a waste of good couches Big hugs doc you just gave me another video idea 💖
I've dealt with similar circumstances as Spike where stopped fawning over someone and that girl began to be a bit obsessed and i'm like, it's too late now. Leave me alone.
I really liked this episode a lot for all the reasons mentioned before: Rarity's expressions, recognizing how much she values Spike and again, deserving more than he's gotten. I feel this episode plays it too safe though and could have been more clear and honest about Sparity, as it acknowledges elements of it but does not give a clear answer; nothing changes really so Sparity is neither cemented but nor is it denied....like always. I don't feel Gabby is serving as a romantic partner for Spike in anyway, shape or form though. Aside from one blushing scene, Spike never showed ANY reactions of attraction to Gabby like he has with Rarity. No hearts in th eyes, commenting on adoration or beauty, no Gabby dolls or learning the ins and outs of everything in Rarity's world and life, no jealousy over other people etc. Gabby herself didn't even show an inkling, not even a speck of what one would call romantic flirtations or interest in Spike. I would have LOVED and jumped for joy or sadness (depending on the answer) for them to give a clear and definitive answer on Sparity but for what we got, I'd say its the best we could hope for...definitely WAY funnier than I expected. One thing IS clear though, Sparity wasn't declared dead here; no doors were closed or break ups or anything like that were made clear, so Sparity to me is as alive and passionate as ever; possibly even more so now seeing just how SIGNIFICANT Spike's loss was felt by Rarity.
It was a nice ending ^^ While Spike and Rarity are cute together, we all knew they were never meant to have a serious relationship. Even when Spike grows up, they'll still just be friends.
Really? Wow, this is the longest TV-based crush we’re talking about! For it to be over is just further proof the show is truly ending 😭😭😭 but it had a believable ending so I’m (sadly) happy. Also *Gabby!!!* 😍😍😍 You’re right I never would’ve thought of her as another friend for Spike but it’s just so cute! Thanks for sharing your thoughts as always my good Canus Lupus Physician! Always a Fan Dr Wolf 💙🐱💙
I really enjoyed this epsiode, even if I was more excited about the other episodes, based on their descriptions. First I thought, that this episode will be boring, but after the first minutes I was convinced that this episode is gonna be great. c: I like that Rarity has to accept, that Spike has more and other friends too. Earlier in the show he just had the mane 6 and slowly got more friends: Big Mac, Thorax, etc. I'm happy to see a different situation from their relationship. Spike was always there for Rarity and suddenly not anymore, because he has more friends. It was very funny and I don't think that it's out of character that Rarity tries to take Spike away from Gabby. She was for some time without Spike and her envyness and jealousy grew so much, that she thought, that Gabby is always positive and she had enough time with Spike, it wouldn't hurt her or she could get along without Spike. It was very funny that Twilight got these couches from Rarity and has to move them outside. XD The episode was well written, the face expressions were great and I liked the lesson. Friendship doesn't stay the same, but you can talk about your problems and your friends will make it better for you. It's like this show, this show changed over the years and yet, it's still great. c:
My favorite from theis Episode when Rarity plays the Sorry moment even though she is Not sure what she did. Twilight trying out the Chair was also funny XD
2 things I found interesting. One is when Gallus was taking Spike and Gabby picture, he still kept the camera and didn't return it to Gabby. Second is Grandpa Gruff actually does care about Gallus since he's sending letters to him asking for an update of how he's doing.
Not to hate on Sparity, but I love how this episode shows how Rarity finally gets whats coming to her. Spike deserves someone better and I think Gabby fits with him best. But I also love how much Spike has matured over the years and still wants to spend more time with Gabby and Rarity. Great episode indeed! :)
I like how everyone dislikes (well not everyone obviously) Sparity but they're okay with a baby dragon x adult griffon ship. I merely see this episode as an unfortunate (for Rarity) means to show your friends have other friends they might want to spend time with. Splitting time amongst friends can be difficult the more you have, naturally. I, for one, am a Sparity shipper in the end but that doesn't mean I'm not open to seeing other options too! I really enjoyed the episode regardless! Just because a character has a blush moment doesn't mean it's for 'love' -- but in this fandom, it's kind of the norm isn't? Maybe he's embarrassed to ask to hang out again after what all went down? I would be! NOW, if BOTH characters blushed, I'd possibly be with the 'End of Sparity!' goers. Until such concrete evidence shows Spike's dedication to Rarity ended with a snap of a claw, I ain't buying it.
Gabby's not an adult genius, she's around the cutie mark crusaders age and it's pretty obvious she's younger than other griffons. But I love how you ignored context just to try to justy the creepiness of a kid and a grown adult getting together. Which is why I hate shippers because you have no god damn boundaries. A one sided crush is all it should ever be, because if Rarity returned those feelings it would be really messed up. Now your right about one thing a blush does'nt mean he's in love with her, but to me people wanting them together makes MUCH more sense than him and Rarity. At the end of the day I care about the charachters themselves first, and only get on board with a couple when there's actual signs their getting together. I don't actively deny one unless it's a case like Spike and Rarity where the implication is very creepy and I hate that people are ok with it.
@@Cloud-dt6xb While I can agree Gabby is younger than, say, Gilda, she is not the same age as the CMCs, but nice try. She's, at most, a mid/late teen, same as Spike and/or Gallus. And to think someone cannot harbor feelings for an older individual is very shortsighted. There's plenty to be creeped out about as far as the world goes and what we now consider 'normal' in this day in age, but this isn't it. Spike is, at the very least, a capable YOUNG adult. Try not to focus on his height so much.
Favorite moment had to be my friend coming up with a ship name for Spike and Gabby that didn't sound gross. Neither "Spabby" nor "Gike" roll off the tongue quite as well as "Sparity".
Firebrand and Lightning Bliss are probably either laughing at themselves or questioning what isn't canon anymore for that comparison of Gabby to Spike in their review of The Fault in our Cutie Marks
Wow... you have a good memory; I'd forgotten about that. I hope if either of them do a review on this episode, they make a callback to that, because it brings up a big connection between the two of them I don't think the episode mentioned: they both have a servant's heart. :-)
@@derekbackofen6 I've seen the final three episodes and i can confirm, no Sparity is not made canon.... this episode is the closest it comes to being made canon.
No Spike is actually an adult, he just looks like a younger dragon because of how Dragons in MLP grow. It's been established that the more greedy a Dragon is, the taller they become. And we know that Spike was born when Twilight was pretty young so it would make sense to have Spike be just an adult Dragon with little greed. Spike's appearance has nothing to do with his actual age, so he's probably somewhat close to both Rarity and Gabby's age
*SPOILER!!! Don’t click read more* MaxZaps Gaming perhaps you could explain at the ending why Spike is suddenly big? Is it because of Twilight’s power?
@@lostcrusader8053 At the end of the series? Mabey he's discovered more things he cares about, things he's greedy about, mabey he even started a hoard at some point
i watched the episode "the last Problem" when it came out on kisscartoon and ...don t worry, no spoilers......i can not wait till Dr. Wolf is doing a video on that one...my little pony were a loyal companion since i was a 6 year old child (i m 43 now XD) and even when the 4th generation is coming to an end...it still leave s a small space in my heart for generation 5...let s hope that we get another masterpiece of characters so lovable like pinky pie, so wonderfully crazy like twilight, so mondaine like rarity and all the other truly amazing personality s ! i can only say...thank you, Lauren Faust and Team...you really magically bonded Brony s all over the World in Friendship together
I have to say, I think Spike is one of the least biased of the characters. His friendship with Thorax, and Ember, speaking to him seeing the friends within, rather than the shape. We can all remember how insular the whole of Ponyville was with Zecora, and she's hardly different from ponykind.
This was a fun episode. I'm actually surprised you didn't mention Rarity and Twilight talking being a bit like therapy, as Rarity was on a 'fainting couch' while Twilight sat on a chair beside her, listening to her. ;)
It's an 8/10 Super Mushrooms, laughed at Rarity's Dramatic Apology to Spike and upset at Rarity due to trying to split Spike and Gabby up at the same time, she felt like a third wheel, when she notices her jealousy to Spike hanging out with Gabby, oyoyoy, Rarity, leave Spike alone
This is not nessecarily the END. Rarity just matures by not manipulating Spike anymore. Spike can have more than one girl around. There is no saying that the importance of Rarity changed. NOTHING CHANGED, because Sparity shippers still ship it. Episode left it rather open.
Doctor Discord did u hear that they are doing gen 4 comics that will lead up to the time skip in the last episode There’s still a good chance sparity is there
well this is the end of Sparity other then that the episode was Great with the over-the-top expressions from Rarity and it's good to see Gabby and her hanging around with Spike seems like a good concept for the episode other then that I'm sure Rarity and Spike will still be good friends towards the end
Yeah they didn’t end sparity if they did it would have ended with gabby and spike flying off but two different ending plus the new comics still show sparity moments it up for interpretation
It's nice to see MLP is back on its hooves. Now let's see how my favorite fandom is doing. [Gazes upon Thomas and Friends community only to see a post-apocalyptic hecklescape] They're doing swimmingly, too.
I didn't love it as much as you this time around. I am sorta sad that they end the Spike and Rarity relationship on a weird note of 'oh they are friends and he will give her time when he is done with a 'new' friend who he has hung out with.'. I don't know i kinda wanted something a little more than that. A lot of this seemed out of character. I mean how much are the characters really aging? It seems very Simpson like where time is passing yet every character seems the same throughout 9 years. I know Spike got his wings and Twilight became a princess and the CMC got their marks so time is definitely progressing. But it seemed so out of character for Spike to suddenly not be interested in Rarity like that yet be interested in Gabby all of the sudden. The episode had its moments though with Rarity expressions and her freaking out and trying to insert other of the Mane 6 to replace Spike in amusing ways. But not exactly how I wanted the saga of their relationship that started all the way back at the beginning to end. Both Spike and Rarity seemed very out of character here at many points. Spike not being interested in her any longer and even ignoring her but suddenly wants to be with her just because she had exciting things to offer him? That doesn't seem like Spike to me. He never wanted to be with her just because of what she had to offer but because he like liked her. Even at the end he was sorta giving her a sympathy bit of assistance because he felt bad but this is after he spent all day with Gabby. And Rarity was just overall insane for the episode and doing very over the top and out of character for her actions to try to win Spike's attentions again. Seemed like a weird episode of Loud House where Lori was dealing with Clyde seeming to not be interested in her anymore. And how crazy she went to try to win him back when in that case it didn't turn out to be that was the case. Here though it turns out it is the case. Spike really sorta lost interest in her in that way just because of Gabby suddenly being inserted into the situation. I didn't like it. Just not how I would have ended the relationship arc that deserved a better conclusion. Not a bad episode just not the direction I would have taken it in if I was the one making said decision on it. But it is what it is I guess.
I must say I have been waiting for Spike to find someone who really brings him happiness. Rarity has always shown to me that's she's not interested in Spike the same way Spike has for her. Plus she was a crush... which fades with time. She always enjoyed high class society ponies and her many love interest have never included Spike... making more to me that she sees Spike a just a follower. Her understanding her time with Spike meant more to her then she realized was a wonderful end for me.
I don't know. I don't think this was the end of Sparity. True that things changed, but this was a great lesson: friendship can change, but it still lasts forever. I am glad that Rarity learned it. She was a creepy drama queen (it wasn't Twilighting, maybe Rariting?) but Spike will always be her No1 assistant and friend. Great episode tho, I really enjoyed it!
I was genuinely upset, not in a negative way, but because it hurt to watch. The raw emotions from all three honestly felt so real, more so when considering their history. It was a great watch for sure, and I absolutely enjoyed it, but to me it felt effective and emotional, it's kinda making me feel a little nervous on how the season finale will be. I don't think I'm ready for MLP to end, even if I don't quite actively seek MLP content. But I know it'll be a great ride, and I'm still excited to see it.
This episode made me totally ship Spike with Gabby, especially since the episode shows they both like each other in a crush sense. Plus I think they're adorable together! AND you can see spike blush near the end of the episode when asking gabby if she'd like some company in finishing her mailing around town. plus I think and spike and gabby are closer in age which makes the ship between them much better.
This really seems the opposite to me, it seems to be role reversal. Like if anything Spike wouldn't want her anymore and she'd wanna be with him type feelz... They coulda had Spike hang with a male character but 'cause it's a girl it looks like romantic jealousy going on. I think they should've done an ep where Spike uses magic to become an adult pony so he can be with Rarity. Rarity could then become totally obsessed with him teenage-crush style, but he gets a dragon wing cutie mark and realizes he has to change back because it's his destiny to be a dragon (for w.e. reason, like he's destined to be their leader and teach them not to be so greedy or something)... That would've been neat since the only reason it's weird for them is the "baby dragon" thing, and arguably an interspecies thing... but like, Gabby isn't a dragon and Spike is into ponies without it feeling like beastiality lol... so... I think that could've worked as an even better bookend tbh. Maybe they will keep the characters around for the next iteration and do something like that who knows.
This I feel was not only a great bookend and closure to Spike and Rarity’s relationship but it was also a great way to bring back and utilize Gabby’s character. I mean the writers could’ve easily just not do anything more with her and reduce her to just cameo roles or just forget all about her much like with some of the other one-off characters.
Im so glad that they got gabby to talk in this episode and I kinda laughed when rarity was asking apple jack to carry a basket, collecting the gems. And how rainbow dash was helping rarity carrying all the fabric. Also including pinkiepie. And Im surprised they mentioned the power ponies in this one.
They didn't really acknowledge the crush itself. I guess they weren't sure how to officially deal with that, or it was still so early stage (very telling sign) that nobody quite felt that sort of loss. It was more about how relationships change over time, and having to share people.
YOURE LAUGH!! ITS SO CUTE XD I dont wanna sound rude, but bro, you're laugh made me laugh! But not becuase I hate it I think its adorable XD you sound like a nerdy wolf!! Lol
This is honestly a good way to end sparity. Not all endings can end in a fan favorite of a romantic relationship, but they can still be the best of friends in the end.
The hardest hitting lesson this episode gave me was that sometimes you can only know how much you love someone when they’re gone.
This is true, Happened with me a few months ago
I know... 😰😔 me too
I got a completely idea from that. My idea is you always miss the tool you were using.
Maybe if Spike wasn't seen as Rarity's tool the entire show that lesson would work, but it doesn't. Rarity only "loved" him because he worked for her and was useful in her shopping trips
You know combine this with the episode Forever Filly I think Rarity may have issues regarding how life changes over time, she doesn't seem to mind change in and of itself but when she realizes that time is passing.
Perhaps Rarity has some fears about the passing of time as a whole?
I think that she just has trouble with change when it comes to things that effect her directly. It might remind her that she is getting older.
@@travisb.honest2438 Having the fact that you're getting older sucks super goddamn hard! Especially so in your mid to late 20's when you begin to realize that you're not young anymore.
It might also have to do with the fact that she's diving into her work all the time, so changes always come as a big surprise to her. She's so distracted by her creative side that her other needs always get neglected until it's too late.
Dracarot I’m the same tbh
That is a brilliant thought, I never noticed that!
I'm just glad Rarity finally realized that Spike's happiness is what comes first, because let's be honest, the little guy deserves a lot more love in his life.
Definitely.
I loved this episode, and it is true that friendships can change but they still last forever
I swear, Rarity holding up a record player is going to become a meme- and it is going to be amazing!

Far from ending Sparity, I think this was about as close to confirming the ship as the writers would have been allowed. Going any further is and always going to be the realm of fanfiction.
Alabenson your right but I heard they will be making gen 4 into a comic and it connected to the final episode so we could still get sparity just in comic form
@@derekbackofen6 what's the title of this comic?
Sabrina Seña well the only one so far until season 10 comics is the new Christmas comic it’s the first story holiday hassle I’m really sorry that I took so long to get back to u 😔😔😔
Alabenson not to mention, spike is a minor
Red flag!
.....I thought Rarity went to a midlife crisis. Fantastic episode great to see Gabby again and oh boy the fanfiction is going to be wild. Next week best Pony episode can't wait. Spike and Rarity haven't had an episode together since Season 4 Inspiration Manifestation.
Honestly I feel like this episode might've guaranteed Sparity will happen
I, for some reason, felt like "Forever Filly" was Rarity´s mid life crisis episode.
@@juliomontoya8824 So did everyone else
MaxZaps Gaming heck yeah sparity might have already happened and there’s more on the way sparity is far from being over
I wouldn’t consider inspiration manifestation a spike episode
My favorite part was watching Twilight drag the stray fainting couch out to the curb
Despite how oblivious Rarity was during this episode, Spike and Rarity still remain friends. And that shows that strong bonds of friendship cannot be easily broken
i also liked that little moment when rarity drag'd that huge crate of stuff in the post-office and derpy just looks at it and closed up "nope" xD
This was probably one of my favorite episodes of the season. I loved seeing Gabby again and having her and Spike form such a close friendship. And I will never stop rooting for Sparity!
Graeme Pischke sparity forever u might like this I heard even after the show ends they are Turing gen 4 comic that connect to the show we could get sparity in comic form
I just like how the episode is able to satisfy anyone regardless of their feelings about sparity. This episode has both moments that support and possibly disprove sparity. I personally believe that they do get closer once spike gets older, but I understand not everyone will interpret it that way and that’s perfectly fine
Agreed. The idea of Spike and Gabby being friends, especially as a possible ship came completely out of nowhere. I never thought of that. Also, great comparison to Discord’s behavior in “Make New Friends but Keep Discord”.
The way I see it, the whole Sparity thing is open for interpretation. It's not Cannon, but it isn't sunk either. The way I see it this episode opens the possibility of Spike and Rarity having a healthier relationship whether platonic or romantic. It shows that Spike can still care for Rarity without obsessing over her, and it helps Rarity realize how much Spike actually means to her and how much she likes just having him around. Whether this would lead to a romantic relationship or not is up to interpretation. Basically if you want to see them together you will see this as confirmation, if you don't you won't, and if you hate the idea of them together you will see this as an example of Spike being with someone else. In the end we will all see what we want here but in the end nothing is confirmed or debunked, but imo I see this a situation where Spike and Rarity's relationship matured
I'm glad that Spike has found someone closer to his age that he could have a realistic romance with. Although this episode was hard for me to watch; it was basically how my first serious relationship spanning 5 years broke apart. It went from us living together, to him breaking up with me and hooking up with a new girl in under 24 hours, spending every moment away with her and treating me like an annoying grieving fly. This caused me to disbelieve he had loved me (you don't get over someone you've loved for half a decade in under 24 hours) and, having basically the identical happen again to me five years later, has led me to the conclusion that I am entirely as replaceable as a fast food paper cup, that I am not lovable and to give up dating entirely since 2015.
I love the idea of Spike getting over his crush on Rarity, and how Rarity learned not to take him for granted. I honestly wanted Spike, Rarity, and Gabby to be friends that way they can all hang out together. But this was an overall great episode! :3
What I'm glad for in this episode is how rarity finally gets called out for her behavior when it comes to taking spike for granted and finally learning from it. Like, I love rarity, she's amazing and still is my favorite pony. I can still understand how she feels with 'losing' a best friend who's been stuck to her side forever, but this one habit of hers taking advantage of spike irks me to no end. To me it's a lot more important for rarity to better herself instead of the endless shipping/relationship drama speculation that has been dragged on forever
It's amazing. The show actually managed to close the arc of a ship without explicitly ending the ship (yes, they left some room for SpaRity shippers to have hope) as well as leaving hope for other Spike/Rarity ships.
So fare most of Season 9 is a love letter to the fans. And this episode dose not let us down at all on that line.
Am I the only one who felt it was opened about Sparity? Their relationship is far from over and Spike didn't seem romantically interested in Gabby.
But I will say It's a sweet episode and seeing Spike moving past just being at Rarity's beck and call is well earned. And yes. Rarity overreacting was pure comedy gold.
Hawbitten gabby is just a new friend that spike has a lot in common with he’ll always love rarity the ending of the episode pretty much proves that and still will continue sparity is far from over
Welp, Spike are friendzoned from both sides. There so many cruel, manipulating creatures
This is by far my favorite episode above all the other episodes that’s come before it. It’s entertaining to see Rarity actually getting jealous for Spike’s attention and affection when he’s hanging out with a new girl in town. And that girl is Gabby.
Now don’t get me wrong, I like Gabby too. She’s an adorable, outgoing griffin, and the chemistry she and Spike has together is fun. And the fact those two have been pen pals since the episode “The Fault in Our Cutie Marks” really speaks up how long they’ve been friends together.
Still, I’m just surprised as you are to see Rarity actually getting jealous of Spike’s time spent with Gabby. Even the looks on her face says it all, when she sees Spike and Gabby having smoothies together. I didn’t know she actually cared about Spike until this episode, where we see it all from her perspective of the arc.
Otherwise, I’m sure she would do the same thing to Spike when another “good looking” stallion, or even Capper, comes her way. And when that happens, she wouldn’t even miss Spike all that much, and he’ll be free to hang out with Gabby. Right?
This is part of my top 10 good moral episodes in MLP. You can really see sincere character developments throughout this episode and the relationship between Spike and Gabby really got the "AWWWWWWWWW!!!" out of me. It's probably one of the few good Spike episodes we watched besides Gauntlet of Fire. :D
Spike and Gabby are just friends. At the end Sparity still lives on.
That’s right sparity far from over if anything this opened the door for this ship
Then I say, you guys have problems. Rarity was child grooming Spike.
@@ruintheday13 fr, spike is a child, in dragon years at least, rarity is a full grown adult leading a child on, that isn't right
Uhhhh…. This is an Adult and a Child…. :/
I’m just gonna say it THE SHIP CONTINUES
Sparity will always live on its far from over
You know spike is a minor right.
StarYT not anymore
@@poltergeistghost True but there is a age gap Spike now is like Raritys's age before but not sure if Spike is into older women.
StarYT honestly I don't think the age Gap is that big at all also age doesn't matter when they are both adults
Even if this episode came late I'm still happy I see it, Spike is My favorite character and I'm glad to see how much he grew
*If he's your favourite... then why is your profile pic Derpy hmmmmm?????* _( ಠ ͜ʖಠ)_
Because Spike is best Dragon and Derpy is best pony.
@@Dark_Tale_2077 *Lets agree to disagree* _( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_
@@Dark_Tale_2077 Hard to argue with that.
Glad to get a final episode for these two. It's been fun seeing these two together, and I'm honestly going to miss it.
Definitely worth watching just to hear dr wolf genuinely laugh quite a bit.
So just a thought, given how Sparity (not really) Fluttercord and SugarMac are basically canon, does this mean Guys' Night is now Couples' Night?
FanFic writers, to your stations!
Juan Manuel Penaloza
I never saw Fluttercord as confirmed canon at all.
@@killgriffinnow And I just choose to ignore it. There is not only the Fact that Discord is immortal and much, MUCH older than Fluttershy, but also the Fact that he is not even a Pony.
I just don't see any Ships with him that could work if I am honest.
@@killgriffinnow In the episode 'She talks to Angel' when Angel is in Fluttershy's body and making fun of her by putting emphasis on things that are true about Fluttershy in a bad attempt to make them believe she's Fluttershy, Angel/Fluttershy also jokingly said 'I wanna marry Discord'. If you need anymore proof Dr. Wolf did a video about that same moment

True, he is very powerful, but we have never seen that Discord can bring back the Dead.
sparity: ends
the mlp fandom: *screaming*
me: this is fine :)
Me: screaming but with relief
I honestly hated this episode from the first scene, if only because there was no middle ground, and it felt like the writers had decided to do something just "because". You have a friendship/ship that has existed for 8 seasons between Rarity and Spike, and then out of seemingly nowhere, Spike suddenly decides that he wants to spend every single day with Gabby, and to hell with Rarity. She understandably has no clue what is going on, because Spike has suddenly decided...what? Rarity doesn't matter to him anymore?! He then doesn't seem to see that he's paying his long-time friend 0% attention, and she has to go out of her way to make him do ANYTHING with her anymore. Then when Gabby finds out that (in a complete 180 to her usual character) that Spike is paying attention to his original BFF rather than 100% attention to her, she "dumps" him?! And RARITY is the one who is supposed to feel guilty!? SHE then reconciles things (despite not wanting to because she knows what will happen if she does), and Spike then IMMEDIATELY disappears without even thanking Rarity! (At least Gabby does that at least), and then RIGHT at the very end of the episode, Spike decides that he's going to spend at least 10% of his time with Rarity. NOPE, sorry, that's NOT the Spike or Gabby I know! And the message of the episode is "friendships change"? and they show that by messing with the established personalities and friendships of three characters, out of nowhere... This episode did NOT need to exist.
Mega Neutrobyte THANK YOU! I'm so glad I'm not the only person who had the exact same thoughts as you!
Me someone who ships sparity: HEEEEELLLLPPP MEEEEEEE I’M DROWNING MY SHIP IS SINKING HEEEEELLLLPPPP!
drwolf001: I would LOVE to see Spike and Gabby together
Someone call Chris Hanson on Rarity
Like is not the end of the ship.
It Just let open for interpretation, afther all they both like each others Company.
Like Spike was hangging out Gabby because he made a New friend, nothing serious, or like i dont Care about spending time with rarity.
The episode itself Just stabilished rarity also enjoy spike's Company.
Like Just use your imagination, like How many ships are Cannon in the show for us to say they ended in the First place ?
The main Focus here is "interpretation" not ship Wars or saying the ship ended.
Is up to us to decide and interpretate the way we want afther all.
This episode definitely worth to watch again, especially those hilarious Rarity moments. I can't wait KP to use those moments to beg Princess Celestia and Discord to fulfill her Dislestia ship which is never going to happen, but it will be hilarious to watch.
I'm really glad that we got some closure on Sparity, something I've been wanting for the past couple of seasons. Even though Spike will always harbor some feelings for her since she was his first crush, its nice seeing him move on. Though him and Gabby as couple was something I never even thought of but after this episode, I think Spike x Gabby is pretty cute.
Agreed, I've never hated Sparity, but I'm glad they've made obvious room for Spike to move on from the unicorn.
I don't know if Spike and Gabby have a romantic relationship, but it's better than a boy obsessing about a woman.
PC-The- Unicorn When was it stated that him and Gabby are a couple? Why do you think that? You do realize that just because two people of the opposite sex hang out together that doesn’t automatically mean they’re romantically together, right? I’m male and I possibly have MORE female friends than male friends and I’m not dating any of them, I’m just saying it’s possible for a man and woman to hang out and not be romantically interested in each other.
Spike was blushing towards Gabby. 😏So shut up.
Agreed. Who knew it would happen
As the element of Generosity she flooded him with gifts and the things he loves to do. But on the other part she became greedy to keep him all to herself remember Tom The boulder. So i feel the elements of the main 6 are more intune with there emotions and actions as theyres like a yin yang effect heck i even remember crysalis creating the mean 6. I love the factor each episode gives our girls the highs and lows of themselves as individuals and lessons they learn as well.
Also
Rarity with the record was the best God bless Tabitha 😂
And another moment doc was Twilight throwning away the drama couch and rarity comes up with another one seriously thats a waste of good couches
Big hugs doc you just gave me another video idea 💖
I've dealt with similar circumstances as Spike where stopped fawning over someone and that girl began to be a bit obsessed and i'm like, it's too late now. Leave me alone.
I really liked this episode a lot for all the reasons mentioned before: Rarity's expressions, recognizing how much she values Spike and again, deserving more than he's gotten.
I feel this episode plays it too safe though and could have been more clear and honest about Sparity, as it acknowledges elements of it but does not give a clear answer; nothing changes really so Sparity is neither cemented but nor is it denied....like always. I don't feel Gabby is serving as a romantic partner for Spike in anyway, shape or form though.
Aside from one blushing scene, Spike never showed ANY reactions of attraction to Gabby like he has with Rarity. No hearts in th eyes, commenting on adoration or beauty, no Gabby dolls or learning the ins and outs of everything in Rarity's world and life, no jealousy over other people etc. Gabby herself didn't even show an inkling, not even a speck of what one would call romantic flirtations or interest in Spike. I would have LOVED and jumped for joy or sadness (depending on the answer) for them to give a clear and definitive answer on Sparity but for what we got, I'd say its the best we could hope for...definitely WAY funnier than I expected.
One thing IS clear though, Sparity wasn't declared dead here; no doors were closed or break ups or anything like that were made clear, so Sparity to me is as alive and passionate as ever; possibly even more so now seeing just how SIGNIFICANT Spike's loss was felt by Rarity.
It was a nice ending ^^
While Spike and Rarity are cute together, we all knew they were never meant to have a serious relationship. Even when Spike grows up, they'll still just be friends.
BBBHuey especially since rarity is an adult, and spike is like 12 or 13
@@Shoe26 spike have chances with so small creatures only until he grown up. If you know what i mean)))
Really? Wow, this is the longest TV-based crush we’re talking about! For it to be over is just further proof the show is truly ending 😭😭😭 but it had a believable ending so I’m (sadly) happy. Also *Gabby!!!* 😍😍😍 You’re right I never would’ve thought of her as another friend for Spike but it’s just so cute!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts as always my good Canus Lupus Physician!
Always a Fan Dr Wolf 💙🐱💙
I'm thankful they've given some room for Spike to move on from Rarity.
I can’t any longer
I need to re watch the entire tv show
I really enjoyed this epsiode, even if I was more excited about the other episodes, based on their descriptions. First I thought, that this episode will be boring, but after the first minutes I was convinced that this episode is gonna be great. c: I like that Rarity has to accept, that Spike has more and other friends too. Earlier in the show he just had the mane 6 and slowly got more friends: Big Mac, Thorax, etc. I'm happy to see a different situation from their relationship. Spike was always there for Rarity and suddenly not anymore, because he has more friends. It was very funny and I don't think that it's out of character that Rarity tries to take Spike away from Gabby. She was for some time without Spike and her envyness and jealousy grew so much, that she thought, that Gabby is always positive and she had enough time with Spike, it wouldn't hurt her or she could get along without Spike. It was very funny that Twilight got these couches from Rarity and has to move them outside. XD The episode was well written, the face expressions were great and I liked the lesson. Friendship doesn't stay the same, but you can talk about your problems and your friends will make it better for you. It's like this show, this show changed over the years and yet, it's still great. c:
6:56
Rarity climbs into Spike's bed...
Yes. that happened.
My favorite from theis Episode when Rarity plays the Sorry moment even though she is Not sure what she did.
Twilight trying out the Chair was also funny XD
I saw that as well XD.
2 things I found interesting. One is when Gallus was taking Spike and Gabby picture, he still kept the camera and didn't return it to Gabby. Second is Grandpa Gruff actually does care about Gallus since he's sending letters to him asking for an update of how he's doing.
Not to hate on Sparity, but I love how this episode shows how Rarity finally gets whats coming to her. Spike deserves someone better and I think Gabby fits with him best.
But I also love how much Spike has matured over the years and still wants to spend more time with Gabby and Rarity. Great episode indeed! :)
You need to hate on them. It's disgusting
For anyone else this was uncomfortable because Rarity was basically a child stalker.
I like how everyone dislikes (well not everyone obviously) Sparity but they're okay with a baby dragon x adult griffon ship. I merely see this episode as an unfortunate (for Rarity) means to show your friends have other friends they might want to spend time with. Splitting time amongst friends can be difficult the more you have, naturally. I, for one, am a Sparity shipper in the end but that doesn't mean I'm not open to seeing other options too! I really enjoyed the episode regardless!
Just because a character has a blush moment doesn't mean it's for 'love' -- but in this fandom, it's kind of the norm isn't? Maybe he's embarrassed to ask to hang out again after what all went down? I would be! NOW, if BOTH characters blushed, I'd possibly be with the 'End of Sparity!' goers. Until such concrete evidence shows Spike's dedication to Rarity ended with a snap of a claw, I ain't buying it.
Gabby's not an adult genius, she's around the cutie mark crusaders age and it's pretty obvious she's younger than other griffons. But I love how you ignored context just to try to justy the creepiness of a kid and a grown adult getting together. Which is why I hate shippers because you have no god damn boundaries. A one sided crush is all it should ever be, because if Rarity returned those feelings it would be really messed up. Now your right about one thing a blush does'nt mean he's in love with her, but to me people wanting them together makes MUCH more sense than him and Rarity. At the end of the day I care about the charachters themselves first, and only get on board with a couple when there's actual signs their getting together. I don't actively deny one unless it's a case like Spike and Rarity where the implication is very creepy and I hate that people are ok with it.
@@Cloud-dt6xb While I can agree Gabby is younger than, say, Gilda, she is not the same age as the CMCs, but nice try. She's, at most, a mid/late teen, same as Spike and/or Gallus. And to think someone cannot harbor feelings for an older individual is very shortsighted. There's plenty to be creeped out about as far as the world goes and what we now consider 'normal' in this day in age, but this isn't it. Spike is, at the very least, a capable YOUNG adult. Try not to focus on his height so much.
Favorite moment had to be my friend coming up with a ship name for Spike and Gabby that didn't sound gross.
Neither "Spabby" nor "Gike" roll off the tongue quite as well as "Sparity".
Firebrand and Lightning Bliss are probably either laughing at themselves or questioning what isn't canon anymore for that comparison of Gabby to Spike in their review of The Fault in our Cutie Marks
Wow... you have a good memory; I'd forgotten about that. I hope if either of them do a review on this episode, they make a callback to that, because it brings up a big connection between the two of them I don't think the episode mentioned: they both have a servant's heart. :-)
Every time Rarity held up that record player, I was expecting a Peter Gabriel song to start playing.
Anyone else got that reference?
I've never seen the film, but I totally get the reference. That was a clear homage to "Say Anything." XD

@@derekbackofen6 I've seen the final three episodes and i can confirm, no Sparity is not made canon.... this episode is the closest it comes to being made canon.
I think it fits better too with Gabby because they are closer in age too.
No Spike is actually an adult, he just looks like a younger dragon because of how Dragons in MLP grow. It's been established that the more greedy a Dragon is, the taller they become. And we know that Spike was born when Twilight was pretty young so it would make sense to have Spike be just an adult Dragon with little greed. Spike's appearance has nothing to do with his actual age, so he's probably somewhat close to both Rarity and Gabby's age
*SPOILER!!! Don’t click read more*
MaxZaps Gaming perhaps you could explain at the ending why Spike is suddenly big? Is it because of Twilight’s power?
@@lostcrusader8053 At the end of the series? Mabey he's discovered more things he cares about, things he's greedy about, mabey he even started a hoard at some point

I found it hilarious when Twilight posed like Rarity on the couch.
One of the most iconic ships in this fandom had has sank.
This episode made me want to ship Spike with both Rarity and gabby.
Well, he is a dragon, so it's totally possible.
Just be careful. Last time I saw a story with a love triangle it ended with one girl stabbed and a guy's head in a grocery bag.
Anyone else get 80s vibes with Rarity holding up the record player ala 80s movie Say Anything....?
I have to say, I think Spike is one of the least biased of the characters. His friendship with Thorax, and Ember, speaking to him seeing the friends within, rather than the shape. We can all remember how insular the whole of Ponyville was with Zecora, and she's hardly different from ponykind.
This was a fun episode. I'm actually surprised you didn't mention Rarity and Twilight talking being a bit like therapy, as Rarity was on a 'fainting couch' while Twilight sat on a chair beside her, listening to her. ;)
This episode got better with every watch
It's an 8/10 Super Mushrooms, laughed at Rarity's Dramatic Apology to Spike and upset at Rarity due to trying to split Spike and Gabby up at the same time, she felt like a third wheel, when she notices her jealousy to Spike hanging out with Gabby, oyoyoy, Rarity, leave Spike alone
BURN SPARITY BURNNNN!!!!
Personally me. But you ship who you want. :)
YAASS! But I don't like AppleSpike either...^^;
There's a full orchestra playing on the deck as the USS Sparity slowly sinks.
This is not nessecarily the END. Rarity just matures by not manipulating Spike anymore. Spike can have more than one girl around. There is no saying that the importance of Rarity changed. NOTHING CHANGED, because Sparity shippers still ship it. Episode left it rather open.
Agreed!
Exactly.
That’s right they didn’t end sparity
Doctor Discord did u hear that they are doing gen 4 comics that will lead up to the time skip in the last episode There’s still a good chance sparity is there

Not really the end of sparity. It only is if you interpret it that way

I know how the Griffin felt because I felt the same way ignoring back in Colorado appreciated me like that
It's nice to see MLP is back on its hooves. Now let's see how my favorite fandom is doing.
[Gazes upon Thomas and Friends community only to see a post-apocalyptic hecklescape]
They're doing swimmingly, too.
Was disappointed the episode wasn’t about Spike’s egg origins based on the title.
Gabby...I get her appeal but...she rubs me the wrong way.
Dr. Wolf: I want more stories about Gaby and Spike
Me: Fanfic writers, to your keyboards!
I didn't love it as much as you this time around. I am sorta sad that they end the Spike and Rarity relationship on a weird note of 'oh they are friends and he will give her time when he is done with a 'new' friend who he has hung out with.'. I don't know i kinda wanted something a little more than that. A lot of this seemed out of character. I mean how much are the characters really aging? It seems very Simpson like where time is passing yet every character seems the same throughout 9 years. I know Spike got his wings and Twilight became a princess and the CMC got their marks so time is definitely progressing. But it seemed so out of character for Spike to suddenly not be interested in Rarity like that yet be interested in Gabby all of the sudden.
The episode had its moments though with Rarity expressions and her freaking out and trying to insert other of the Mane 6 to replace Spike in amusing ways. But not exactly how I wanted the saga of their relationship that started all the way back at the beginning to end. Both Spike and Rarity seemed very out of character here at many points. Spike not being interested in her any longer and even ignoring her but suddenly wants to be with her just because she had exciting things to offer him? That doesn't seem like Spike to me. He never wanted to be with her just because of what she had to offer but because he like liked her. Even at the end he was sorta giving her a sympathy bit of assistance because he felt bad but this is after he spent all day with Gabby. And Rarity was just overall insane for the episode and doing very over the top and out of character for her actions to try to win Spike's attentions again.
Seemed like a weird episode of Loud House where Lori was dealing with Clyde seeming to not be interested in her anymore. And how crazy she went to try to win him back when in that case it didn't turn out to be that was the case. Here though it turns out it is the case. Spike really sorta lost interest in her in that way just because of Gabby suddenly being inserted into the situation. I didn't like it. Just not how I would have ended the relationship arc that deserved a better conclusion. Not a bad episode just not the direction I would have taken it in if I was the one making said decision on it. But it is what it is I guess.
Hey @Dr.wolf, you know that you made a great review if you laugh in the videos and you made my day.
I must say I have been waiting for Spike to find someone who really brings him happiness. Rarity has always shown to me that's she's not interested in Spike the same way Spike has for her. Plus she was a crush... which fades with time. She always enjoyed high class society ponies and her many love interest have never included Spike... making more to me that she sees Spike a just a follower. Her understanding her time with Spike meant more to her then she realized was a wonderful end for me.
I don't know. I don't think this was the end of Sparity. True that things changed, but this was a great lesson: friendship can change, but it still lasts forever. I am glad that Rarity learned it. She was a creepy drama queen (it wasn't Twilighting, maybe Rariting?) but Spike will always be her No1 assistant and friend. Great episode tho, I really enjoyed it!
FINALLY. GOD.
And the fact that spike created a fashion campaign for rarity
rarity i little creeping was spike goes to sleep
I was genuinely upset, not in a negative way, but because it hurt to watch. The raw emotions from all three honestly felt so real, more so when considering their history. It was a great watch for sure, and I absolutely enjoyed it, but to me it felt effective and emotional, it's kinda making me feel a little nervous on how the season finale will be. I don't think I'm ready for MLP to end, even if I don't quite actively seek MLP content. But I know it'll be a great ride, and I'm still excited to see it.
So much for being the element of generosity.
She and Rainbow Dash are known for being outside of their elements from time to time unlike the other ponies who could never do that
This episode made me totally ship Spike with Gabby, especially since the episode shows they both like each other in a crush sense. Plus I think they're adorable together! AND you can see spike blush near the end of the episode when asking gabby if she'd like some company in finishing her mailing around town. plus I think and spike and gabby are closer in age which makes the ship between them much better.
A NEW SHIP HAS SAILED 😂😂😂
This really seems the opposite to me, it seems to be role reversal. Like if anything Spike wouldn't want her anymore and she'd wanna be with him type feelz... They coulda had Spike hang with a male character but 'cause it's a girl it looks like romantic jealousy going on.
I think they should've done an ep where Spike uses magic to become an adult pony so he can be with Rarity. Rarity could then become totally obsessed with him teenage-crush style, but he gets a dragon wing cutie mark and realizes he has to change back because it's his destiny to be a dragon (for w.e. reason, like he's destined to be their leader and teach them not to be so greedy or something)... That would've been neat since the only reason it's weird for them is the "baby dragon" thing, and arguably an interspecies thing... but like, Gabby isn't a dragon and Spike is into ponies without it feeling like beastiality lol... so...
I think that could've worked as an even better bookend tbh. Maybe they will keep the characters around for the next iteration and do something like that who knows.
The writers established that this episode does not tarnish the Sparity shipping.
Tarnish, no. Close gently, possibly. Spike will love Rarity always, but more as a friend. And she will accept that.
@@PeachWookiee In your interpretation they will be friends, to others, it's more.
Rarity's mini meltdowns are adorable!
This I feel was not only a great bookend and closure to Spike and Rarity’s relationship but it was also a great way to bring back and utilize Gabby’s character. I mean the writers could’ve easily just not do anything more with her and reduce her to just cameo roles or just forget all about her much like with some of the other one-off characters.
Im so glad that they got gabby to talk in this episode and I kinda laughed when rarity was asking apple jack to carry a basket, collecting the gems. And how rainbow dash was helping rarity carrying all the fabric. Also including pinkiepie. And Im surprised they mentioned the power ponies in this one.
They didn't really acknowledge the crush itself. I guess they weren't sure how to officially deal with that, or it was still so early stage (very telling sign) that nobody quite felt that sort of loss. It was more about how relationships change over time, and having to share people.
Kinda pissed with finale not hinting at spike x rarity ship.
In the very first scene. Rarity was getting snubbed. Spike was talking to another girl while Rarity was trying to get his attention.
YOURE LAUGH!! ITS SO CUTE XD I dont wanna sound rude, but bro, you're laugh made me laugh! But not becuase I hate it I think its adorable XD you sound like a nerdy wolf!! Lol
This is honestly a good way to end sparity. Not all endings can end in a fan favorite of a romantic relationship, but they can still be the best of friends in the end.
