And you know, after watching Secret of My Excess, I was a little flustered that there were so many questions still (turns out Spike was, too, b/c his next episode was his journey of self discovery). Not so, now. I actually like how we're left with those thoughts, because Spike is, too, and all he knows is that dragons are monsters. I hope this is challenged in season 4.
Sorry, great picture lol
1.) I see Spike reflecting on himself and the monster he can become. This is a powerful picture. He can be a danger to all of Ponyville-no, Equestria!- if he lets his inner demons out of hand.
2.) "But that rainbow one kicked me!" This was my silly-side making fun of the picture (in a good way) XD
FAVED!
From what we've seen in "Secret of my Excess", I think Spike has a very good idea of what he might become if he doesn't keep himself in check. He literally has his footprints to show him what happened. Thankfully, though, he doesn't have to face the challenges of growing up alone. With Twilight, Rarity, and his caring friends, he has the chance to set an example and show that dragons don't have to be greedy brutes who hoard everything that isn't nailed down. In fact, Spike has already shown a little of his own developed identity in "Dragon Quest" when he refused to smash that phoenix egg just to fit in with a group of thuggish dragons. He doesn't have to be the dragon who left that print; he has the choice of who he wants to be.
Our footsteps can remind us where we have been, showing us all the right and wrong turns we've made. When it comes down to it, though, we have the choice of where those footsteps fall. You did a great job with creating this footprint, as well as Spike's expression to it. Thank you.
