im rlly a sucker for the relationship between twi and spike… not in a shipping way bc im not gross. i hc that she is, essentially, hsi mother and they both kind of look out for each other. she raised him, and he essentially keeps her anxiety in check.
when he was just an ickle bby, and just learning to speak, he’d occasionally end up calling twilight some form of gargled “mama.” nowadays he doesnt, apart from the odd slip up, or when he’s upset/feeling anxious. he’s a bit embarassed about it really, but will still shower twilight with affection and praise on mothers day
maybe i should do a ML AU post for spike
maybe
