five fucking stars. not even because the story makes sense, or is good, (it doesn’t, and it’s not) (even though it’s cute and a fun read) but because this is the most absurd and camp thing i’ve ever read. /pos

i cannot BELIEVE they made twilight fucking sparkle a literal teen mom.

and by they, i mean celestia, because WHAT WAS SHE THINKING????

celestia is so unserious because what do you mean you don’t “have time” to take care of a baby dragon, so you need your teenage protege to raise him??? girl, if YOU don’t have the time, then SHE sure as hell doesn’t have the time either!

this story is cute and fun if you don’t think about the implications, but when you DO… Oh My God.

poor twilight had to take baby spike to class and everything like a real teen mom 😭😭 my girl should NOT have been worrying about this at her age.

and twilight saying “she wasn’t trying to give me a responsibility, she was trying to give me a friend, wasn’t she?” when earlier in the comic she literally says she has no friends and then celestia sends her to the PARENT room instead of the student room, is actually so unserious. (like the writers did not gaf about continuity whatsoever 💀)

and, like, girl. i think she was definitely trying to give you a responsibility. if she wanted you to make friends she would’ve made you join a club or something not given you a BABY to be friends with 😭😭 (twilight’s first friend? more like twilight’s first CHILD)

anyway spike and twilight are cute, celestia is a fucking menace, and im pretty sure this is the hardest anyone has thought about a my little pony storyline in years, but i had fun reading it so im not mad about it

Cómo les dije me estoy "reconquistando" de la franquicia, tambien hay cosas qué nunca consumí como son los comics, y este me encanto, me sacó lagrimas, conocer esta historia es conmovedora, si lo hubieran animado sería mi capitulo favorito, en fin, lo amo, fuí lagrímas 😭, todos deberian leerlo

I loved this one! Such a great mini-story. I wish they would make this one into an episode.

I've been waiting to get to this issue, and I'm kinda disappointed that it's so short lol.

Still though, it's nice to see what happened after Spike hatched since the show never addresses it.
