Spike is Twilight's #1 friend

I want to believe that what Twilight told Spike back in "OWtEW" still holds true, that Spike is her number #1 assistant AND friend. I think this explains why he doesn't go on as many adventures with her, like the remane 5, or was invited to the friendship retreat in "All Bottled Up"- simply because the bonding experience isn't necessary. He is as close to Twilight as he can get, holding the title of #1 friend. His friendshp no longer needs to be tested through trials against villains alongside Twilight, or puzzle rooms, to draw them closer together, like it does with the remane5.

Well, there is no deny Spike is Twilight's true 1# assistant and 1# friend, if Twilight somehow forgot that, i would slap her face, if the writers somehow made her forget that, i will... deny that I guess. Afterall, he had his own throne in Twilight castle even he is not the element, it means something.

I think that Spike is Twilight's #1 friend, but he's like a "younger brother" friend and because of that he's sometimes casted aside from the group.

It's not that they don't want him to be a part of the group, but he doesn't fit yet into the group's dynamic.

It's somehow similar to the CMC, the CMC are definitely not a part of the mane 6 group even if they are friendly with everyone of them, they're a different group with their own dynamic, yet they have formed a "sisters" group with the CMC and their big sisters in which a new dynamic appears, I bet that Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie's dynamic would hardly fit when the 6 sisters are together.

Spike is more than a friend, his loyalty knows not of the boundaries of conditional relationships, such as friendship.

Safe from the challenges of becoming an adult dragon from such a mean, patriarchal culture.

A beautiful family structure, with nothing creepy or unnatural about it.

Twilight's relationship with Spike is separate from that with the other ponies. The dynamic is different. After all, they live in the same residence (and for a long time slept in the same room), they have been together much longer, and Twilight spends more time with Spike than the others (they work together after all). While Spike does hang out with the group from time to time, he is not really a member of the group.

The dynamic between Spike and Twilight is more of a younger brother and older sister rather than being number one friends.

This very much true.


If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already. :smug:

I see it more as a familiar bond. On the one hand, their relationship is like being brother and sister. On the other, Spike could actually see Twilight like a babysitter or even motherly figure. I choose to imagine they're like siblings. Before Twilight came to Ponyville she wasn't very adept at making and keeping friends, so there's a good chance her and Spike's relationship wasn't originally built on it.
