Point is, artist draws good Twilight. not so much sexy though tattoos are freaky |

Sometimes I hope Mrs. Faust gets a chance to see art like this, so she knows that for every "clop pic" or "rule 34" or "grimdark fanfic", that there is genuine good stuff out there that fits with the characters and the style established within the show. |

I kinda assumed that by the time Spike would be big enough for that to be a problem, Twilight would be dead from old age.
Which is depressing in an entirely different manner. |

@SpacePaladin - not really. She's kinda like his parent. If anything, a parent outliving their child is a parent's worst nightmare. |

If a dragon can afford to sleep for 100 years, their lives must be incredibly long. He'll definitely outlive his pony friends, it's just a matter of his maturity at that time. |

| Mattatatta #473311 10 months ago |
No wonder the older dragons become very isolated and even aggressive. There are among the longest living creatures in the world, and any friends they make with other species sets them up for a lot of pain. I guess many of them either refuse to take the plunge time and time again in fear of pain or just grow extremely hardened and cold. |

My TL;DR Analysis:
*Cue "Married Life" from Pixar's "UP"* Dragons - Mythology states that male Dragons can live for centuries. Not quite millenia as females do. Males tend to be smaller, and less vicious than females, especially females guarding their eggs. My Little Pony - There have existed three paradigmal shifts, better known as generation gaps in the world of Ponies, from The End of Flutter Valley (G1 Episode 1), to the advent of the town of Ponyville (Pre-G3) to the current day. If we are to assume that the events of Flutter Valley up to the creation of Ponyville, and the fall of Discord (which resulted from the unification of Equestria) are somehow connected - we can assume one of two things: Reincarnation/Rebirth - Likely, as characters can share the same name as the predecessors, and even share similarities to them, yet retain their own uniqueness. OR Continuous Timeline Spectrum - A less likely story that assumes that some non-regal characters are immortal, have long lifespans or exist in stasis over long periods of time. The average life of a Pony in the human world, is approximately 25-30 years, one third that of humans. But since the MLP world appears to follow the "Reincarnation methodology - hence Characters acting radically different from their previous itinerations - the idea of the CTS fails. FINAL WORDS - Twilight Sparkle will see Spike once again after death. According to the character methodology used in the previous generations, she will see him in a different form, just as he will see her in a different form. ... Okay, stop the sad music... |

@475832
Exactly, but there were hints of a sort of "re-incarnation". Speaking bluntly, G4 is a reboot of the entire series, and a lot of G3 characters have re-appeared in a different form than from before: Cheerilee is now grown up, and a teacher, Scootaloo is a Pegasus, Rainbow Dadh doesn't care about Dressing in style - that's Rarity, who is now Sweetie Belle's older sister. Twilight's Mom was base off the design for the original Twilight from g1. Applejack and Spike return from G1 in name and (sort of) in figure, but revamped in personality. There is a connection, but it's not abundantly clear. I just offered a potential headcanon way of looking around this whole thing. IMPORTANT: Twilight and Spike technically knew each other in G1, a they both existed (in name) in that Gen. Sooooo... If we lobotomize ourselves into believing in this re-incarnation headcanon, maybe it'll make sense. |

@Hex-Master
I get it just fine, and I've even made a similar picture. Nothing lasts forever, and one day Spike will have to start a new life elsewhere. I'm just disputing the notion that it will be due to something as simple as growing too large to fit in the buildings. It will most likely be due to outliving the ponies, or else to acknowledge the fact that he's no longer a child and needs to live as an adult. And in the latter case, there's no reason they can't stay in contact, so at worst it's like a child moving out of their parents' home. Sad, but not as sad as everyone (and the picture) is making it out to be, because there should be some positive emotions mixed in. A parent (as Twilight essentially is), while a little sad to see them go, would also be happy to watch their child truly begin their life. |

Well, if you think about how much Spike grew just in season one, maybe dragons do grow quite fast, to a certain point.
Since dragons appear to be cannibalistic (or at least not above killing a child of their own species, though it might just that one green guy) it maskes sense to grow up fast and then be a freaking big dragon for a long time. |

On top of what #476943 pointed out, from a mythological perspective, dragons are often portrayed as growing very quickly; one English legend concerns a girl who finds a tiny baby dragon and tries to keep it as a pet, only to have it grow into a towering monstrosity within the span of a few DAYS. Spike might outlive Twilight by centuries, or even millennia, but I think it's likely that he'll be too big to stay cooped up in Ponyville after only a few more years. |

idk i think dragons will still grow, just a lot more slowly. Spike could theoretically be a full grown dragon within a day if he gave in to his greed, or he could gradually grow over the next twenty years to become an adult. Just my own headcanon though.
Only thing obsolete by canon is the fact that Spike won't get wings :P |
