No. No one can help how they’ve been raised as a child.

But if they find something wrong with it later, then they can try to do something to correct any damage done. Provided it’s actual damage, and not just someone being PO’ed because other people refuse to pander to them.

This is post Triple Threat now and… oh lord… That episode hurts so badly retroactively.

@Ardashir
But is that really Spike’s own fault?

Spike, Twilight was right when she said you were ’more of a pony. You were raised by and lived among ponies with no contact with dragons for, what at least twelve years or more?
 
You may be a dragon physically, albeit an odd one due to your unique birth, but psychologically you are a pony.

@Psyga315 
I believe the word they forgot to use might have been “Try”.

@Daneasaur 
“B-but we’ve vowed to sync our comics up with Season 7!”

@dynamicv 
“Hey, welcome to the family, Peewee! Stick with me. I’ve got plenty to teach you about being a pony.”
 
And then we never see him again. BYYEEEE!

@Daneasaur 
On the other hoof, Spike is more than capable of messing up by himself. Reducing Twilight just to conflict generator after Royal Problem—again—I don’t know. Not much fun.

@Starswirl 
Yes, it was frustrating, yet in character. Twilight’s largest bane has been overthinking everything. It’s why Spike was appointed to her in the first place; to keep her on the proverbial ground.
 
Lesson Zero showed that firmly, yet it keeps cropping up. Celestial advice was another one where Twilight just couldn’t help going bananas and both Celestia and Spike could see her doing it.
 
When the unexpected happens and there are too many variables, Twilight panics because she doesn’t know, and when she doesn’t know, she overthinks it and thinks of all the bad things that can happen instead of hoping for the good.
 
Thus, if the episode is done in a smart way, it would be all about Spike inviting the two over because they are his friends, not because of their status as royalty/leaders. Twilight on the other hand would very easily be in character to panic about “two royal leaders of entire species going to meet under one roof” and then going with the “what if they don’t like eachother?! WAR!!!” sort of thing.

@Background Pony #20F5 
What’s funny is that Pinkie’s inflection showed she didn’t even mean anything by that. The way she said it was like calling animals “critters”. The second instance with Rarity, that was indeed her being upset and judging.

Eh, this is just idw is being idw. They’re too lazy to do subtle drama, only in-yo-face kind.  
However, there was legitimate “wtf-moment” in the show: in “Putting Your Hoof Down” episode Rarity & Pinkie outright called Iron Will a monster. That was completely uncalled for. I’m not sure if they have problem with horned species, or what?  

@Daneasaur 
Oh hopefully not. I hated that part.

@Background Pony #02DA 

 
Race Species denial.

@Dustcan 
Or Spike invites Thorax and Ember rather casually and Twilight freaks out like she did in “A Royal Problem” and this makes Spike paranoid when it would originally be fine and shenanigans happen because Twilight is prone to jumping the gun and panicking.

@Daneasaur
 
Or maybe this comic explains why Spike is going to think it’s a bad idea for Ember to meet with foreign leaders.

@Evowizard25 
IDW.
 
That’s all you need to know.
 
I’m betting Triple Threat will throw this comic into a fire.

@Background Pony #02DA 
Oh god. Spike’s an otherkin.

Come on writers
 

@CaptainGrumpy  
Spike being more pony than dragon is already canon since season 2.
 

“So Spike the Dragon is more like a pony? Hmm, didn’t know ponies could breathe fire. Go on Twilight. Light it up.”  

@Dustcan 
Well it doesn’t feel like it, especially with the emphasis on Spike as the one who is going to stop the conflict. It sort of feels like the episode with Zecora that way. Twilight will try and figure it out, she doesn’t, a much younger person does and stops the conflict. Maybe this comic will surprise me, but I’m not holding my breath.
 
I mean, Twilight forgetting he was a dragon after all? She idly comments on it every now and again when referring to him in the show. An effort is appreciated, but I don’t see why we don’t get to see Twilight interacting with the yaks and asking questions. That would have been a much better way of doing this then trying to make Spike angry and whatnot.

@Evowizard25
 
But Twilight is trying to figure this out? That’s the entire point of her reading those scrolls for the last couple pages.

Because it’s not like Twilight can just ask what Ember means. That would be ludicrous.
 
Edit: That’s what I get for not checking all of the viewable pages before commenting. At least Twilight made an effort.

“Oh I’m sorry. It’s just that it never comes up. Oh and that reminds me, could you use your ‘dragonfire’ to magic this letter to Celestia something I do so often that…….”
 
I”m sorry, but why is Twilight not trying to get to the bottom of this? I mean episodes of PPOV show that she is inquisitive about conflicts and would try and see a peaceful conclusion to this. Is this just to put Spike as the voice of reason? Just to give him the moment to shine? UGHHHHH!

@CaptainGrumpy 
It’s IDW what else did you expect?
