Is Rarity's wedding band the earring? |

astralknight, makes sense and i love Gem, hell i love the whole spike X rarity couple, it works amazingly |

Well, it worked for Donkey in Shreck. |

#843140 is indeed right: It is a commonly accepted facet of dragon mythology that they can breed with anything, so long as their, ahem, equipment doesn't shred their mate in half. |

Gem is certainly one of the best Spike/Rarity love childern. |
| Anonymouz #843397 6 months ago |
I personally like the idea that Spike and Rarity could not breed. It makes the love more difficult and enduring. Love because of love alone and not because you want to bone the other person. But that's just me. |

^ You can love someone and want to bone them without it having anything to do with children. Just saying. |
| Anonymouz #843924 6 months ago |
^ And you could also adopt but whatever. |

By the time Spike was old enough to mate with Rarity she'd be an old mare if indeed not a corpse. This pairing has never made sense to me. |

I doubt it's always about making sense |

@844331
Dragons can grow from small and cute to giant fire breathing monsters within minutes. They have magic that can change mice into horses, teleport and move things with their minds and even walk on clouds. I don't really think we should apply our rules to their mythical world that have full grown trees appear, bear fruit and disappear within a span of 5 days. Its magic and doesn't need to make sense. |

And that's why Sam Vimes no like it. Because its bloody magic. Anyway, adorable image! |
| Anonymous #844629 6 months ago |
@844331 True, dragons can be made to grow fast as we've been shown, but the series also made it abundantly clear that doing so also reduced them to being greedy, mindless brutes. And it still wouldn't change the fact that Spike is mentally and emotionally still a child.
You can use magic to justify it, but at one point do you draw the line there? By that logic you can justify anything with it... you may as well just say "because I like it so there", same difference. |

Spell that makes young Spike older.
Spell that makes old Rarity younger. Time travel spell that brings old Spike from future to past or young Rarity to future. Spell that makes Spike grow into a completely different benign dragon by generosity instead of greed. And so on... Why draw a line at all when their world offers infinite possibilities? Seriously, their world doesn't work like ours. 'Nuff said. |

Gem is pretty cute in all the fanart I`ve seen. Whoever invented her managed to blend dragon and pony traits and create an aesthetically-pleasing creature. |
| Anonymous #845874 6 months ago |
@678 Exactly that. You just proved my point. |

"But the Rarity would be very old or dead by the time Spike grew up"
NO For gods sake people We know jack shit about the biology of dragons in MLP:FIM. For all we know dragons could become thousands of years or instead have a faster growth rate than other dragon mythologies. It's just as possible as any of the other fucking shippings that occur. Yes I mad at that argument. |
| ThatCommieGuy #848453 6 months ago |
besides Spike looks young enough, so it is no time for rarity to become old yet. |
