Actually, in a Them’s Fightin’ Herd’s stream, on the discussion of Tianhuo, Lauren stated that DISCORD was to be a “dragon pony hybrid”, but she didn’t know of any basis to go off of (they were looking in greek mythos). When they discovered the Longma, a hooved Dragon creature, Lauren learned it was the attributes of a dragon and a horse combined.
What is is not clearly stated is that a Longma is merely one of the other names for a Qilin, or Kirin.
Lauren then went on to say that “Discord would have been a longma, if I knew what that was back then”.
I don’t think those were ever ‘hybrids’ in the sense I think you posted it.

Good ridance.

1-You’re one of those people. Those they can’t even hide how much they hate a pairing so much, they inevitably resort to calling everyone who disagree with them “shippers” just to try and gain some sort of foothold.
2-Even then, you have absolutely no clue what the term shipping means :)
Anyways, thanks for the entertainment dude. But I agree, you should just leave and let people who actually know what they’re talking about discuss what you can’t understand. Just go back to dropping random hate comments on pics about ships you don’t like. Stick to yor thing.
Hatching Spike was the first step in getting into Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, something for which she spent a significant amount of time and effort studying and practicing magic before even taking the entrance exam. How many kindergartens require entrance exams that prospective students have to study for?
@SuppliedRelic
I don’t know of any seven-year-olds who could renovate a treehouse. (Or, going by season 3, build a booby-trapped parade float.) Still, I’d say that’s more evidence that the very concept of ages for these characters is flexible than evidence that Apple Bloom wasn’t intended to be seven(-ish) years old.
What does it matter whether Spike goes to school or not? School attendance does not necessarily denote age.
Indeed it is.
The salt is real.
That happened all the way back in season two and that was just one shot. How long it had been since that episode, one, two, and three seasons since that episode aired and still no build up between Spike and Sweetie Belle, they didn’t even interact in the whole season five.
This made me laugh how much you’ve SpikeBelle shippers are. In complete denial XD
@Background Pony #E09D
Okay, now just your headcanon. There have never been any evidence that Twilight homeschooled Spike on the show and you’re sounding ridiculous right now XD
Know what. I’m gonna unsubscribe to this, because I’m not gonna take an opinion from a fan with a based headcanon. I rather take someone who actually work on the show.
Good bye. Have fun with your fan-made shippings :)
When you sling phrases like arbitrary around like I’m pulling shit out of my ass despite me using sources I’m going to get defensive.
I would say that 7 seems like a fair estimate for the CMC’s ages. That would place them around our equivalent of the second grade, and let’s be honest, Apple Bloom and her classmates don’t seem to be studying calculus, or whatever the magical pony equivalent of that would be :)
Of course, based on the flashback episode, the Mane Six may have been slightly older or younger than the CMC when they got their cutie marks. Fluttershy seems to be going through quite the growth spurt, while Rainbow Dash’s voice is somehow more squeaky than Sweetie Belle. Though I doubt that ponies would receive their cutie marks much earlier or much later than the CMC eventually did (ex. When they are a pre-schooler vs. when they are a teenager).
I know that we haven’t had anything in the show confirm the validity of the age listed on the script. It still seems to make sense if you take into account how young Apple Bloom sounded and the way she acted in the first season.
Interesting, but it is also a piece of the show’s developmental phase, considering that we don’t call Gilda Grizelda. While I doubt that Faust’s vision for the CMC’s ages changed much between her development and the show, many of the concepts she was playing around with never came to fruition or were changed entirely.
You have your evidence now.
Wow. There’s no reason to throw around insults at people when they don’t agree with your assumptions about the show.
I could just as easily conclude that Twilight is only five years older than Spike, since she mentions “Magic Kindergarten” in Lesson Zero, and hatching Spike was the first step in her magic education.
At the same time, using evidence from the show, I could conclude that the CMC are 14/15, because they are shown as Freshman in Equestria Girls. As ridiculous as that may be, there is no evidence to say otherwise.
However, I would never present these assumptions as facts and reject the opinions of others, since we have no clear evidence to build upon them. Thus, I have no more right to tell you how old Spike is than you do telling others how old he is.
I understand that several people in the comments such as the previous Background Pony are being very stubborn about this whole business, but I feel that insulting others who don’t agree with you is not the right way to go about it.
Well now that is interesting.
Also I was just one year off.
He was close. Reference is here
Because their is no other way to know besides using math and the writers will never say what their ages are.
They’re not arbitrary you can look at the characters and by their behavior and position you can evaluate their age you just have to use your brain scary I know, if you need to hear word of god tell you something without being able to deduce things on your own then you shouldn’t try starting an argument with someone since you clearly lack the mental capabilities of holding any discussion.
We can’t say for sure whether his age is closer to the CMC or the Mane6, but the point is that whether its because he’s a dragon or because he really is closer to their age (doesn’t matter), he looks like a kid and so do they.
And if ANY Spike ship has any possibility of being made canon in the show (without a timeskip) then it’ll have to be between him and someone who at least looks as young as he does. Get it through your head already.
@Background Pony #C8B3
Even if he’s older than the CMC, he wouldn’t be old enough to not go to school at all. He doesn’t go to school because he’s obviously homeschooled by Twilight and maybe even Celestia in the past.
As seen in the episode Pinkie Apple Pie when Spike explains to Pinkie what genealogy means, its clear he’s more cultured and knowledgeable than the average adult pony. His upbringing would make school trivial for him.
@Background Pony #C8B3
He’s homeschooled by twilight and Twilight was a filly close to the cmc’s age around 9 or 10 when she hatched Spike that makes him about 9 to 10 years younger than her and given the mane six’s approximant ages.
That puts spike somewhere between 8 and 10 years old which is close to the CMC’s ages.
>“Stop ignoring what Big Jim says.”
@Background Pony #EEEE
What he said. ^
Seriously chill th3 fuck out I’ll ship them if I want if you got a problem with it well too fucking bad.
Him living for a long time doesn’t mean jackshit he can still have a meaningful relationship with someone people are capable of accepting that they will outlive their lovers so long as they enjoyed the life they lived that’s all that matters not everyone is a depressed angst lord.
I don’t ship characters because hur dur they stood next to each other once I ship based on personality they have a similar dynamic with each other, I also like interspecies and size difference so that’s another reason.
>“Take your shipping goggles off.”
How about you take that stick out of your ass.
>“They have never interacted”
Yes Spike is younger then the Mane 6, but that does not make him closer to the CMC, if he really that close to their age he should been school now. Stop ignoring what Big Jim says.
@Spiked Punch
No, I don’t hate SpikeBelle, I just annoyed by it
