Will TwiSpike/Spilight ever become canon?

[TwilightSparkleFan99 21]

The reason I ask this is because I personally think that Sparity/RariSpike or TwiFlash/Flashlight doesn't work, mainly because Spike only likes Rarity for her mane, according to that episode where Twilight got Rarity's mane, and Twilight only likes Flash for his looks. That is why I think TwiSpike makes more sense, and also because Twilight and Spike have had the most history together, and Spike has known Twilight longer than any other pony. Heck, she hatched him for crying out loud! Spike has always been there for Twilight when she truly needed it. Some people may think that Twilight is Spike's "mother", but I think it can be much more than that, and Twilight and Spike could actually work as a couple! And it would definitely come as a huge plot twist to the series finale that nobody would be expecting. So, I ask of all of you, do you think that TwiSpike/Spilight will become canon in the end of the series, and if it does, how will it happen? I would love to hear what you all think! I am a new user here.

Um... Twilight is an adult and Spike is a baby remember? 

[Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,985]

I doubt generally that any of mane6 will actually be involved in couple relationship. I have even more doubts that Twilight and Spike specifically will ever be couple. I don't know how you could justify TwiSpike shipping because Twilight is, in a way and as you stated, mother of Spike. I may have quite a bit of history with my parents, but I can't imagine being in serious couple relationship with either of them.

Even if they did canon ships, I don't see that happening with these two. Mainly since their interactions seem like some that siblings would have. 

[Cleverclover 1,526]

Absolutely not. 

 

I'd sooner ship Applejack with Big Mac before shipping Spilight. 

 

 

 

Twilight and Spike could actually work as a couple!

 

No, they couldn't.  They really couldn't. 

[Conred 274]

She is more of an older sister/stepmom to him. And even then, their relationship would have same problem as with Rarity. Adult dating a child.

Overall, writers keep main male characters as immature so they woudn't imply any romantic relationship between them and mane6. Spike is physically immature, Discord is mentally immature (even though, technically he could become Fluttershy's love interest, he is incapable of understanding the emotions of love like Spike and expressing a crush, Spike on the other hand can express it but his physical age will never make Rarity to return his feelings)

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

 

One, their relationship is more little brother/older sister or son/daughter as shown in the show. Two, Spike is still a child, the very same reason that Sparity is doomed to fail outside of fanfiction. Three, outside Sparity (which is more a one-sided infatuation) and the the dubious canon of FlashLight, MLP has not and likely will never focus on any of the main characters being in a romantic relationship of any kind.  Basically, you have a better chance of literally any other ship becoming canon before TwiSpike even has a snowball's chance.

Well, what I said was, People see Twilight as a mother to Spike, but I don't. I think since they're technically not related, the shipping could actually work. I think as of now, Twilight and Spike are just friends, but could be more than friends, just not in the mother/son or brother/sister relationship, but rather as a boyfriend and girlfriend. You may be thinking, "but Spike is a baby!" Well, if you listen to Spike's voice, he's clearly not a baby. He was a baby in the Cutie Mark Chronicles episode when Twilight hatched him, but by now, he's about 13 or 14 years old, and Twilight is about 18 or 19. That is only about a 4 or 5 year difference, not that bad. And in Equestria, age probably doesn't matter.

I honestly think that Spike is about 13, and Twilight is about 18. It's only a 5 year difference, which isn't that bad. And honestly, I don't see Twilight as a sister or stepmom to Spike. I think that Hasbro could really make TwiSpike fit just right into the show. I mean, they don't have to make it completely canon, they could just have Twilight give Spike a small kiss on the cheek or something. Honestly, I think it could really work, and people don't realize this. The way it would happen is Spike would confess his true feelings to Rarity, she would turn him down in a nice way, and Spike is completely heartbroken, until he eventually finds a new mare, that mare being Twilight. Spike tells Twilight how he feels, Twilight doesn't know how to react at first. At first she turns him down, but then eventually, she starts to develop feelings for Spike as well. I know this sounds like some crazy fanfiction, but I'm telling you, it can actually work if you just give the shipping a chance!

You 'think' that he's about that old, but the issue is, there's nothing on the show to suggest that. In fact, the show repeatedly calls Spike a baby dragon in multiple episodes. Your question is about whether or not it will be canon, not whether or not it could possibly work out. Could it possibly work out? Maybe. Dubious, but possibly. Would it ever be canon?

 

There's no way it would ever be. The only ship with Twilight that has any leg to stand on in canon is FlashLight, as they show actual romantic tension between the two of them and it has been hinted at very obviously, plus Flash Sentry also has many cameos in the main show so it's clear that there's at least a tie. I'm saying this as someone who ships TwiDash very hard, too.

 

I must also add that people aren't seeing as Twilight like Spike's mom for no reason. The show itself hints at this, too; she has a very maternal role in his life. No, it is not actually incestuous, but there's a certain power dynamic between a mother and her child that would make it...well, creepy, actually. Spike can't even take care of himself without Twilight, whereas Twilight could easily be independent if she wanted to. That leads to a relationship like that lending very easily to being very unhealthy, breeding obsession, and making it so Twilight can practically shape Spike if she wanted to.

One, their relationship is more little brother/older sister or son/daughter as shown in the show.

I have been telling Everyone this, Spike isn't a child, he's a teenager! He's 13 years old, and Twilight is 18 years old, it's only a 5 year difference, and it's not that big of a deal really. Besides, in Equestria, age probably doesn't matter. And I don't think of Twilight as a sister or mother to Spike. I don't get why people think that. I mean yeah, she hatched him, but that doesn't mean she's his mother! I think that Twilight is just a really good friend to Spike. But they can be more than friends, and I'm not talking about a mother/son or sister/brother relationship, I'm talking boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Did you really just say MLP has not and likely will never focus on any romantic relationships? Have you seriously forgotten about the Season 2 Finale, A Canterlot Wedding? Cadance and Shining Armor got married, and kissed! And remember the 100th episode? Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda got married, heck, that's what the entire episode was focused on aside from the Background Ponies! And they kissed at the end! That's two romantic relationships in the show! Which also means that if they can end up together, then why can't the main characters end up together?

Except even then, it would still be an ADULT being in a romantic relationship with a minor. You do know that 13-14 is still considered a minor, right?

 

The "5 year difference" thing could work if Twilight and Spike were say, 25 and 20, respectively, since they'd both be adults.

 

And to be perfectly honest, MLP doesn't NEED to have any pairings to become canon.

I doubt that ship would ever be made canon...it's just alittle weird since Twilight and Spike have a brother/sister relationship.

Director of MLP think otherwise. For all we know, Spike may remain a baby dragon years after Rarity become too old. You can't really expect her to "wait" for Spike when he may reach maturity after 100 years or more.

[Ribbonfree 2,383]

See, all of this as it stands would be like saying you can fall in love with your own mother or close sister, who fills the similar role of having been there for you from birth and having a power over you no other woman on this Earth can ever have. I'm not sure what you're seeing in their dynamic that isn't somewhere on the 'close family' range, some examples so we could see what you're talking about are nice.

Okay. I still don't see how someone and their adopted parents being in serious couple relationship. In this case, age of Spike is irrelevant. Someone raised you since young, you will probably consider them as some sort of parent irrelevant to actual blood ties. Though I suppose Twilight and Spike's relationship with one another is sort of mix of mother/son and sister/brother. But in any case, they definitely consider one another family. Also, you may not see such relations between them, but I'm quite certain that majority of people, including MLP staff, consider it as some sort of family relations.

 

I personally assume Spike is about 10 years of age... though whatever age he is, I suppose anyone could be in couple relationship with anyone if waited long enough; in that case, unless several years pass in MLPFIM, Twilight and Spike will never be couple because he is still clearly child of some sort. In addition, because dragons live much longer than ponies in most cases, it's possible that dragons mature more slowly than ponies; it's all speculation but is possible that Spike won't be of adult age by dragon standards sometime after mane6 die of old age.

 

Yes, topic of couple relationships have been covered in MLPFIM. However none of them involved mane6 actually being in committed relationship and I wouldn't be surprised if they had all mane6 be single to end of series. One significant reason as to why I believe this is because a massive chunk of Bronydom will become extremely upset/angry if canon doesn't align with their shipping; safer for main6 to be single.

[Castle Bleck 19,361]

He's her stepbrother, so I don't think so.

I'm curious too. For me, the intro scene in Power Ponies where she gave Spike a couple more minutes to read a comic before bed was pretty much an interaction that mother have with their kids and it established such relationship between them. She never treated Spike as a friend "on equal" terms like she does with Mane6 but she actually always had an authority over him like parents have over their offspring (You don't really see kids bossing their mother around and Spike often do what Twilight ask him to do). Not to mention that Twilight gives Spike allowance money which also imply that she act as his guardian.

I really don't consider Twilight a sister or mother to Spike. Spike is actually 13, and Twilight is 18. And I'm pretty sure that age doesn't matter in Equestria. And about TwiFlash/FlashLight, I don't like that couple, mainly because of what Hasbro did with it. They made Twilight only like Flash for his looks, and nothing else. And did you really say that MLP has not and likely will never focus on a romantic relationship? Do you remember the Season 2 Finale, a Canterlot Wedding? Cadance and Shining Armor got married, and kissed! And don't forget about the 100th episode! Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda got married! Heck, that's pretty much what the entire episode was about aside from the Background Ponies! Not to mention they kissed! If they can make Cadance and Shining Armor end up together, along with Cranky Doodle and Matilda, then I'm sure that they can pair up some of the main characters with somepony else. Examples would be: Fluttershy and Discord, Rainbow Dash and Soarin, Rarity and Fancy Pants, Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich, Derpy and Doctor Whooves(kind of already done in EP100), Sweetie Belle and Button Mash, Big Macintosh and Miss Cheerilee, and finally, TwiSpike. TwiSpike makes the most sense as a Twilight Shipping mainly because of how much history Twilight and Spike have had together, not to mention Spike has known Twilight longer than anypony else.

Everyone knows that there's already canon relationships. There are no canon relationships with a main character.

You sure? What about Derpy and Doctor Whooves? Yeah I know, they're background ponies, but what about Episode 100? They both played a huge role in that episode, not to mention in the most recent episode of MLP, Derpy played a "big" role. Emphasis on "big" if you know what I mean. (Spoilers if you haven't seen the episode yet)

[ThePoniMan 164]

I see it more as a mother-son (owner-pet?) relationship... I don't know why the type of relationship that you mentioned would ever become canon xD

[[NULL] 906]

I think you might be watching the show for the wrong reasons.

[Steve Piranha 29,424]

Nah, we all know Twi belongs to Flash Sentry 

[Vox 870]

It's next to impossible that any ship of any kind will end up in the show, We've been lucky to get a parody of romance, never mind a real one.

[cider float 2,538]

Well there is no canonincity of it so it still resides in the realm of your headcanon or fanon. But I can see what you were saying. Currently Spike x Rarity is canon, there was a lot more closure between Spike and Twilight in the beginning and it was cute but since the end of Season 2 Spike seems to have drifted away from all the ponies except Rarity. So it's hard to hope for Spike to have a relationship with Twilight again.

[Justin_Case001 4,891]

Well, no "ships" are ever going to be canon, but if you're just asking if Spilight makes sense, I would say no, not a'tall.  Can't see it one bit.  And I don't accept that the only reason Spike likes Rarity is because of her mane.
