I really like how they killed sparity. It made no sense and was strange. Spike should find another dragon imo.

The Sparity ship will stay in the fandom like Dislestia so it can't really die. But yeah, in canon series, it is more probable that EmberSpike and FlutterCord will get more attention than Sparity and Dislestia and we have to accept that this is current direction of the show.

I've watched cartoons long enough to see several characters with the over-used cliche of having a little (or huge) crush on another. And they virtually never go anywhere whatsoever. Realistically, this was certain to go the same way. There'd be a few cute moments like in Secret of My Excess, but that would have been it. It is, after all, a cartoon with a target audience of pre-teen children.

 

So, am I upset? No, not really, because there was no way Spike was going to fall on one knee in front of Rarity during the series anyway. If this were any other show, it wouldn't have received a mention from the writing staff. It's only because the MLP fandom is so huge and connected that the writing staff felt the need to publicly shoot it down. Shipping beyond the occasional schoolyard crush is the domain of fans, and that's where this one, like all others, should stay.

This, DHX staff was always treating it like some lighthearted joke. Only after they realised that many fans at convention treat it as some serious Final Fantasy main couple, they started to finally introduce Spike to someone who can be safely shipped with him. If people still want a crosspecies and age-difference couple(NON PEDO) then they can always support FlutterCord. I doubt that the show staff are going to torpedo that ship anytime soon.

I'm sorry, but when was Sparity killed off exactly? Because Spike bonded with Ember, who we may never see or hear about for a long time if at all? If so, let's not forget his moment with Mina in the comics. Rarity has visibly hit on a lot of stallions, usually as a means to get what she wants. Everyone knows that Sparity has always been a pipe dream, but it's not one I see being crushed anytime soon. It was never a real ship since it has always been one-sided but I doubt we've seen the end of Spike and Rarity moments.

The other girl dragon is too old for him as well so spike can't be shipped with her either XD

 

She is probably going to be the one though, as given how dragons age very slowly, Rarity won't exactly have the strength in her body to have marital affairs with several ton adult dragon by that point.

Nah. I don't care for shipping at all.

 

Knowing the DA fans though, they're probably far from finished.

We would never have seen any of that, anyway; Rarity's a pony and Spike's a dragon. xD

 

I'm not upset.  It's unlikely that things were ever going to pan out for the two romantically, and Spike's love would have forever been unrequited.  I've wanted Spike to be "let off the hook," as it were, for a while now; for a more feasible romantic alternative to be introduced.  Not that I didn't get where the little guy was coming from; I, too, love a pony.  And I can imagine what obstacles he might've faced.  His affection for Rarity was endearing, but, in their case, I think it ultimately would have been unfair to Spike.

Let me rephrase that. I do not like NONSENSICAL shipping.

Most shipping is nonsensical.  It's a person looking at two ponies who may have spent all of five minutes together on-screen and shown no romantic interest in one another romantically and going, "I think they'd be cute together."  That's fundamentally the basis of the majority of MLP shipping.  Which is, of course, justification enough for pairing two individuals in your head, but it doesn't make any more sense than anything else.  Admittedly, some ships strike me as inherently more ridiculous than others, but there aren't a lot of ships that someone can seriously claim to "make sense."  I've seen people argue that two ponies obviously belong together because they have similar coat colors.  Rock solid, that.
