Pre-ponyville life of Spike is more depressing than Twilight's

The majority of FiM focuses on Twilight's journey from being friendless to becoming princess, and then mentor of friendship, but never much on her loyal assistant. The very first episode makes you think that Spike is already good friends with the Canterlot ponies, to know their names, prepare gifts and go to their parties, unlike Twilight. BUt "Secret of my excess" reveals the opposite, when Spike says in all his birthdays (note Lauren Faust said that he's around 8 years old), the only gift he got on his birthday, before coming to Ponyville, was a book from Twilight. Nopony else. Not from Sunbutt, not from Twilight's parents or Shining Armor (who are also his family), not from any of the ponies of Canterlot who Twilight made up with in "Amending Fences". And that's pretty sad.

Sadder still, when you consider that he's not really good friends with the main 6 ponies he met, after coming to Ponyville. We only really see him interacting most with Twilight and Rarity. Not so much the other 4, or the CMC.

Just hurts my heart, it's so sad.

Why does he get mistreated so much? Doesn't seem like anyone understands him at times. Even Twilight.. I just don't get it! Spike needs some love too!  :(

seems like no one understands him all the time,if you ask me. No one bothers going out their way to ask where Sunbutt got Spike's egg, to see if they can hunt down his parents. No one bothers to learn about dragons, for Spike's sake, yet everyone wants t prevent him from succumbing to his a natural dragon instinct, and grow/mature like a normal dragon. So buck giving him gifts of any kind. No one of his "friends" invite him on all their many trips and missions. And the few times he is, he's their baggage boy.

I could go on, but you get my point

Spike's not how you spell "rainbow dash" :Prainbow_dash_sonic_rainboom_by_mysticalp

RD only gave them their cutie tat's at once. They didn't know each other at that point. It was when Twilight went to ponyville, WANTING TO IGNORE SUNBUTT'S ORDER TO MAKE FRIENDS, that Spike changed Twilight's mind, and convinced her to befriend the mane 6. If it wasn't for Spike changing Twilight's mind, the mane 6 wouldn't be friends.

So what you're saying is....Spike was the new rainbow Dash  :icwudt:  :icwudt:  :icwudt:
