What is your take on Spike and Ember shipping?
Honestly, I think part of my only issue with Ember is that she FEELS like she was added specifically to be a romantic interest to Spike? I dunno, I just really strongly get that vibe from her. Like they couldn’t make the Spike/Rarity dynamic work in the long run so rather than dealing with the ramifications of that first, let’s introduce a love interest NOW so we can just have that work out in the long run and not deal with it.
But beyond that I really have no issues with her as a romantic partner for Spike. They had good chemistry in the episode, and while we haven’t seen much of her since then, I could see them developing into something more than friends and having a good relationship in the long run. And being of the same species would allow them to easily overcome any inter-species/racial issues they could tackle with a pony x dragon relationship, and would be natural for Spike to return to the dragons and truly teach them pony ways in the far future.
So yeah, I have no issues with it other than it feels like they want to go down that road without dealing with all of the previous issues they had built up to honestly heh
