Artist Note: Not gonna lie, i know this did’nt turn out the best as it could have been. Yah it was a kinda rush job at the end and honestly im terrible at drawing feet, even dragon ones. But i still think it turned out alright.
“Dragon Dropped” was honestly my least favorite Rarity/Spike episode, and im really kinda sad this was her last centered-episode The whole thing just felt cringey, with Rarity acting about as opposite as the element of Generosity could act (after 9 seasons remind you).
The whole thing just felt kinda like a rich-spoiled brat complaining about not having her personal servant/slave around to, of all things, hold her stuff (she a unicorn btw). It just seemed so…off-putting…
While i did enjoy seeing Gabby again, i personally dont think she was completely necessary to the story.
It could have been equally interesting if it was about Spike after all this time maturing enough to see Rarity’s flirty-manipulation of him, and deciding she was never really gonna return his feelings, so he decided to essentially give up on his pursuit of her. And Rarity spending the episode comprehending whether or not she spent all that time controlling him because she liked having a free servant, or because she also has feelings for him aswell…
This is just my opinion, but I kinda think that would have made a more complex and interesting story, one that would have actually built on the characters in their series closer and potentially nailed-down the Rarity-Spike shipping before the series conclusion. (If they touch on this in the final episode, I have not seen the leaks so I would not know.)
Im sorry, but for me, just all around it seemed like lost potential. Definitely not the worst, but probably not gonna re-watch this episode again…
