When you realize that Spike flew before Scootaloo

Twilight: Spike, how did you get wings? Spike: I could ask you the same question.

“The Molt” = Puberty

Well i guess it’s true what they say Red Bull really does give you wings

dragon puberty takes like an hour I'm jealous EDIT: I realize now it was longer in the episode my bad

Looks like Spike finally found *RED BULL.* Cause *it gave him wings!*

The Molt is Dragon puberty

When you realize Spike got to fly before Scootalo.

“Spike is flying around in front of Scootaloo.” Ouch, that kinda hurt!

The ep in which Spike goes through Dragon Puberty! Also, is it just me, or are there some very.. disturbing implications with Pinkie popping in and being intrigued by the scent right after the line 'the only creatures that want to be around me want to eat me'? Great reaction, and just, that wing reveal reaction, it was so.. amazingly you! Loved it!

Twilight: "Spike! How did you get wings?" Spike: "I don't know! Larson didn't write this one!"

20:09 As Twilight stated in an earlier season, ponies know almost nothing about dragons so she can't find much info in any book. Ember has been giving her some info via letters, but clearly she didn't cover molting yet.

After seeing this episode i was pleased that Spike got his wings as Spike was a forced late blumer if we think of it this explains why spike is still so small

[insert Larson joke here]

Verb: “Larsoned” The action/doing so of gifting Wings to a character typically in the show MLP: Friendship Is Magic

This is a great Spike episode(like “Gauntlet of Fire”) and one of my top picks for S8(like “Surf and/or Turf”)! I never expected Spike to grow in wings...at all. If I wasn’t spoiled on a random promo image, my reaction would have been better. But I digress, I’m thrilled that Spike went through this change. I like how we were treated to more mythical creatures like the Roc, that was cool. The writing in this episode was great too, very fun and enjoyable!

hay, princess Spike confirmed

*THE EVOLUTION OF SPIKE IS HAPPENING*

Wings...check Now just 8 more seasons until he stops looking like a baby.

I think this episode was actually great! It actually explained puberty more lightly and nicely,though it is more “different” than ours it still explains it quite well.I mean spikes changes shows most of ours i mean the blemish,voice changes,well growing (which was the wings),sweat. The way they tell us that the molt (puberty)is normal and it is a part of growing up and that there is nothing to change or feel embarrassed. Nice video btw :))

Finally Spike Gets Wings!

“Why doesn’t Twilight know dragon biology when she lives with one?” Simple, ponies are inherently xenophobic.

Has to have: -Red itchy scales -volume shifts -fire burping -bad smell that attracts predators JUST FOR WINGS

YESSS SPIKE HAS WINGS!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING SOO LONG!!!! IM SO PROUD OF YOU SPIKE!!!!!!!!!! :')

Oh, Blank Check, you just make me feel better.

Spike have his Puberty at 19 year old thats logical 😂

“My family is kicking me out and the only creatures that don’t find me disgusting want to taste me!” That’s puberty in a nutshell.

"LET MY PONIES GO!" Possibly the best line in the entire series.

FINALLY OUR BABY HAS WINGS

Pinkie Pie thought the smell was interesting, but the smell is supposed to attract predators, so that means... Oh no! 😲

Omg spike is turning into a alicorn ;D

Haha, Spike’s going through puberty...😂😂😂

You have no idea how long I've been wanting this to happen! I am so incredibly happy that this has happened because Spike kept falling and getting in danger and Twilight kept having to save him, it got old. But this is amazing development!

It's the final molt down

Twilight: spike how did you get wings?! Spike: I am de princess now

PINKIE PIE WANTS TO EAT SPIKE?!?! WHAT?!

I only watch people react to this episode for spikes wings reaction

Looks like we have new alicorn princess with us (Spike)

Puberty is nature’s way of saying🖕

I already knew that Spike would gain wings because I have a friend who gets early access to episodes.

14:00 Same with me. While Rarity might not be my favorite Mane 6, I actually have the most in common with her. She is a cat person and a designer, and so am I. (To be exact, I'm a college student majoring Mechanical Engineering and hope to design products in the future, but for now, the design thing is more of a hobby.

*tells every friend that loves mlp about spike and his wings*

Lol I loved your reaction at 19:17

Spike gets wings! You guys know what this means!! More merch.....yeah...

Now he can really be Princess Spike.

He learns to fly quicker that when Twilight got her wings

I AM SO HAPPY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS!!!

Spike evolved!

Fun fact: Roc's are mythological birds from Middle Eastern mythology. Not so Fun Fact: Apparently Zecora stuffing cotton in her ears is considered racist by some, though I have no idea why. Personal Observation: Rarity may be allergic to phoenix feathers. Ear swelling is one sign of a possible allergic reaction.

"Oh spike it's always hideous" I LOST it when he said that XD

*between laughs* Blank Check: He... he has wings! Your reaction to Spike getting wings was amazing.

How to get wings: Earn it and use a spell from an ancient pony from 1000 years ago. Or Go through Dragon Puberty

I absolutely love this! I'm so glad he got wings! I am also wondering if there are multiple molts. Like other reptiles. That make him look older as time goes on.

You know what I like about this episode? ALL THE SHOUTING! Especially from Rarity since she sometimes gets high-pitched when she yells. It's hilarious.

It's confirmed that Rarity sees Spike as a horrible monster. 'This isn't the first time I've been in the claws of a horrible beast.' Last time was when Spike had his greed growth.

"It's just Spike with his dumb little body and two new appendages" -Beautiful words by Blank Check

Am I the only one who saw the promos and wasn't surprised when Spike got wings?

Finally! I was looking for this for awhile! I already seen part of this

"yay fried chicken." sorry, I had to stop and die of laughter for a monment.

“Spike, it’s always hideous.” Always love your humor, Blank Slate! Twilight is an idiot to not know dragons have wings. Didn’t she interact with dragons before? Spike is now Spyro!🤣

Now we need that old mare from the crowd (Season 7 Episode 14) shouting: "Spike was better before he got wings!"

Spike : I should go. Wrex : Sheppar-wait wrong universe.

“It’s nearly noon!” sounds like something my mum would say to me

"YA HERE THAT VIEWERS UR SUPPOSED TO GROW UP" I DIED XD

"ryhme horse." - Blank Slate 2018, qoute of the year

You: "spike you're always hideous" Me: ooooooh roasted, wait does that work, he's a dragon.

Your reaction to the wings was freaking amazing.

"How do you not know about dragon biology Twilight" I love how everyone forgets that its not her but everypony that doesnt know anything about dragons. Like at all.

Spike is evolving Spike evolved into Winged Spike

Yay finally. Love your vids❤❤

Sooo I just finished AppleGeek’s reaction:) I’m so happy for Spike!!

Spike: I’m just hiding from my hideous face! Blank: Your always hideous! (From memory)

Yay! another reaction, I was just watching your reaction for the season 7 finale

Spike’s face IS adorable!

The best episode so far in this season. Spike lowering his voice in order to reduce his breath of fire.

The reason why Twilight didn't know is because there's no research on dragons. I'm pretty sure she said so in the first Dragonlands episode.

"Spike, It's always hideous!" - Blank 2018 GET REKT SPIKE.

I find it funny that Rarity says it wasn't the first time she's been in the clutches of a horrible creature because Spike was one of them to be technical. Also I think it's kinda cute that Spike has to go through the dragon equivalent of puberty

Finallyyy! I luv you, Blank

Normally I don't talk about the episodes that much. But it is one of the development milestones (like CMC getting Cutie Marks, Twilight becoming a princess etc.) so it is really worth discussing. Besides, I had a hype for this episode since the synopsis. REALLY HUGE HYPE. So, let's talk about the episode itself... 1. Spike and Rarity are heading to phoenix nests. I am not gonna lie, Sparity was one of the reasons I was so excited about this episode. I love this ship even it is pointed time and time again that it shouldn't work. But I still admire Spike's devotion and hope he will find his happiness with her 2.Rarity's signals towards Spike was one of the reasons I felt a bit uncofortable during this episode. I can divide this content into two parts, I will talk more about it later. Look how she looks at Spike at the beginning. It is really quite seductive and manipulative at the same time. Counter Pro Sparity:1 3.Rarity's collection of duckfaces increases drastically after this episode. 4.Somepony make a gif of Rarity walking in circles around Spike. That has to become a gif ! 5. Return of Peewee !!! I didn't think that we will see him again. He just dissappeared one day and we only knew that Spike let him go. This was a really cool comeback! 6. The fact that Rarity sugests Spike to go to Zecora is interesting. Spike and Zecora are the most used characters when it comes to helping others. Zecora is helping others by curing them and Spike is...well, he is not always eager to do those things (ekhm, abuse, ekhm, dirty work) but he is still helping a lot. I was wondering if those two will ever make an interaction based on helping each other. 7. And when Spike talks about beauty sleep, Rarity is visibly annoyed. Con Sparity:1 8. I can't blame Twilight for telling Spike to go away but it still hurts a bit. I can understand her fear about the castle..No, wait, I don't understand it, this castle is made out of crystal which makes it the least flammable spot in Ponyville, which is mostly made out of wood. But I am not mad at Twi. She tried to help, she couldn't know that she accidentaly implanted in Spike that he is experiencing Molteffect because she threw him out of the castle. 9.Also, Twilight talking about Celestia never having a blemishes made me wonder what was Celestia during her puberty and adolescence. Pity that we probably never find out. 10. I know that I may talk a bit much about Sparity angle but I just have to discuss some little hints. This episode is a heaven for the reference hunters. Both in general (Pewee returns, reference to It is not a Mane thing about you, Secret of my Excess callback.) and for Sparity fans ( at the beginning, Spike's stone scale pattern looks like Rarity's cutie mark, Spike was assisting in preparing a lecture about the element of Generosity. I will talk more about this references ). 11. Spike is wearing his suit from the olympics in the Crystal Empire. 12. Rarity approves Spike's clothing, really nice of her. 13. "But I still want you to take it off". Guys, I literally chocked on that part. I had to pause and think about it. Rarity wants Spike to take of his clothes off for her. Yes, I am well aware that later she states that she wants Spike to do some modeling for her...but the way she said it, made me feel...I don't even know how. It is not like this words wouldn't be expected from Rarity, who is the only one from the Mane 6 that belives in concept of nudity (ask AJ) but this words directed to Spike were.. well, at least suprising. 14. Pinkie Pie's as a tourist guide ? Those tourists wouldn't be the same ponies after the trip. 15. Also there is a guy that was beaten up by Flutterrage. 16.Spike's volume shifts was one of the funniest MOMENTS IN THAT EPISODE. I CAN relate to that cause to this DAY I HAVE TWO VOICES, EVEN WHEN my puberty ended. I guess it WILL BE A PROBLEM FOR Reactors. (Volume adjusting) 17. When Spike started shouting in the library, I was afraid that Twilight will appear in a Supersayin rage and kick him out to Tartarus.... FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! KAMEHAMEHEMHAREHAREHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Moving on... 18. Young Six, always good to see them. Instant love! 19. It is ironic that Spike is helped by Smolder, the dragon crowned as an alternative version of Scootaloo. Speaking of Scootaloo, little squirt will be devastated, seeing that Spike is flying before her. 20. It is good to know that bigness induced by greed is optional and Molt is mandatory. Thank you for finally explaining that. 21. "Did you live with ponies your entire life ?"...seriously Smolder ? Seriously? 22. Pinkie Pie has a new "Here is Johnny" moment. 23. Zecora teaches us about the importance of patience and the ways of nature. As Glossaryck from Star vs. the forces of evil said "Nature is like a runaway dump truck : Hot, fast and full of garbage". Some things cannot be rushed. The molt has to be endured. 25. "Teaching asparagus to sing" no comments needed, Zecora has best rhymes ever. 24. Okay, loud Rarity is annoying as hell, but it is strangely cute, because of that british accent intensification. Take not, this is how Rarity will sound at the age of Granny Smith. #LOUDNOISESDARLING. 25. If phoenix feathers disable hearing, shouldn't Celestia be deaf by now ? That would explain why she is so rarely helping in threats. She doesn't hear all the screaming. But I know she has some kind protective spell. 26.ISSSUES 27. And Spike just had to reveal himself. So cliché. Conviniently, Rarity doesn't hear. 28. It is really interesting that dragons have natural predators. I have never seen them as preys. 29. Rocs are cool looking predators. Also, rocs are a common creatures in a persian mythology, which is really cool. References to greek mythology...meh. References to persian mythology...now that is impressive. 30. I am preety sure that Zecora lives in the middle of the forest. Why they are on open space now ? 31. "Remember children, never climb high trees. You can fall, got hit by the lightning or be caught by overgrown bird" 32.Spike is glowing red!!!! Is there going to be some kind of awesome battle power...No...Okay, I guess not... 33. Spike bumps into Rarity, who is conviniently walking in a wrong direction. (Into the forest) 34. INSTRHUKSHIONS 35. "Let my ponies go" was in my opinion one of the most badass quotes of Spike 36.The details of the inside of the claw are amazing. 37. Now we have Twilight, just trotting by in the Everfree Forest. Well, magical horse ain't gonna explain s**t. 38. Rarity recalls being kidnapped by Spike on his birthday. It is quite symbolic that now Spike is her saviour. 39. Those shooting sound effect were hilarious 40. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingsssssss!!!!!! Spike's evolving!!!!!! 41. It is quite weird seeing Spike flying but I will get usedto it. 42. Spike is a natural flyer. Heck he can even fly upside down. Remember when Twilight were learning how to fly ? 43. SPIKE!!!!!!SAVE HER!!!!!!SAVE THE MARE OF YOUR DREAMS!!!BE THE HERO!!!!YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!HE DID IT!!!!!!HE SAVED HER!!!!!!!SAVED FRICKING RARITY!!!!F**K YEAH, LARSON!!!!THANK YOU!!!!! 44.Twilight and Spike scene is really touching and this is the level of caring I would like to see for Spike 45. And for last one... The last minute and a Rarity and Spike scene. This scene...it ruined the mood for me. Rarity, I really, really love you, you're my mane 6 fav but... let's just see... Rarity is convincing Spike that it was silly to think that they would abandon him (Okay, okay, that's good I am waiting) "There are so many good things because you stayed" (Yes, yes, say it...) "A model who can help with dresses any height." STOP.CUT.PAUSE Remember that this is probably the first time that Rarity and Spike talk since the Roc incident. Spike is probably wondering if Rarity will mention the situation. But she only expresses her joy for him staying. He might think that this is cool, he is missed somwhere. Moments later he hears that there he would be missed because he is the best one to be used and assist with the work. OUCH!!!! Rarity, if you had the fingers, that would be a huge middle one, exactly into Spike's heart. You love Spike or not, you SHOULD thank him. He didn't helped you with something, he didn't solved something for you, HE SAVED YOUR LIFE!!! You should be very greatful for that, not take it for granted. You were more appreciative towards Rainbow in Sonic Rainboom. And Spike...he cares for you and proven it multiple times. If someone loves you, you should never ignore it or even worse, hurt him. Even if you don't love it back. To this day, we had three major Sparity episodes: Secret of My Excess, Inspiration Manifestation and Molt Down. In each and every one Rarity needs to be saved and someone has to be stopped. In the first one, Spike has to stop himself from destroying Ponyville and hurting Rarity and his love for her provides the rescue. In the second one, Spike needs to stop Rarity for her own good. And now Spike has to save Rarity from the external force, the Roc. Rarity appreciates Spike's efforts, even kisses him, in the first example, but ignores them in the remaining two, which in my opinion were just as dangreous if not more. But by now, Rarity should know that Spike's love is genuine and can't be dismissed as a silly crush. Spike gently suggests that there are some things about flying that don't involve dresses. Maybe he even thinks about flying together when he will be older. Rarity counts down the examples of the other work he can do for her. And in that moment we can see that this is not going without echo, that Spike is really disappointed, maybe even thinks about moving on. But then he smiles and we can know, that whatever he may face, he will always care for Rarity. It was such a warm smile. That's why I love this silly dragon.

iv bin wating for this vid for a long time!

Blank Slate, Why are you so mean to Spike?

I bet having Spike float all over the place while looping his wing animations makes it easier to animate him now.

Oh my gosh, now I'm just thinking of literally tiny galas in different sections of Rarity's boutique. Imagine fancy yudhaikeledai styled sims ponies all interacting in tiny building all over the boutique, and Rarity's just so proud to have them there for some reason... It's so stupid but I can't stop smiling

ok.....WHY is everyone UPSET bout spike's new wings!?!?! honestly...he looks better than before lol

Amazing video 5is was such a good episode little baby spike growing up 😭

Me before: “OMG Spike has wings?” Me now: “oh...it’s just Spike with wings” Thanks daddy Blank

Spike finally hit puberty. For a dragon character to undergo this before our eyes, that's a rarity.

OG fans called it: Spike learned to fly before Scootaloo

Almost 20, still living at home, and u tell me to grow up? Nahhhhh rather not Blank Check. Love you tho ☺️😚😂❤️❤️❤️🖤

2:07 - "Precious Pants"? 2:26 - "Don't get the shampoo." A little reference to "it Isn't the Mane Thing About You" here? 5:19 - Quick! Send for Daenares(sp?)!!

Ah i have been waiting blank >:3

**blank says spike was always hideous** Me:SERIOUSLY HE'S ALWAYS BEEN ADORABLE!!!!!!!!**tells self:calm down calm down...**

I! Called! It! I called it! Wings! Finally!

i saw the Ep before the reaction so i know what's going to happen. Spike get wings yes so awesome.

He's finally growing up...*sniffs* so proud.

OH MY GOODNESS I JUST REALIZED THIS EPISODE IS ON PUBERTY XDDDDDD

at first i thought the fact rarity didn't react to his smell was a plot hole. than i remembered. fashion pone.. she probably does her own cloth dying.. and you don't want to know what that smells like

So happy you didn't get spoiled! :03

HAHA! Now those dragons can't laugh at Spike for not having wings!
