Comic: Hearts Desire

Click for Full

The one true canon ship expanded into a full 45 panel comic! Get ready for some deep. I don't know how compatible dragons and ponies are, but these guys make it look good.

I asked the author if it had been submitted ^_^

Canvas Wolf Doll said...

as much as i doubt how 'canon' rarispike is, this was a very beautiful comic.

Lazuli said...

Very good comic. Gotta cheer myself up now...

WeaponFanfic said...

A beautiful, wonderful comic. Now, if you excuse me, I have some tears to eradicate.

AppleShy said...

Wow that was just amazing.

Eric Cramer said...

That's it, I have no soul. That was the most touching thing ever, I felt nothing at all.

Cap-Sigma said...

Read this last night, and the tears still come.

FreezingShock said...

I read "45 page comic" instead of "45 panel comic". I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed :P It's still a nice comic, though.

D. Shadows said...

Endearingly lovely, unfortunately I'm not going to know the feeling but I can gestimate what it's like.

At least I know cats and dogs find me comfortable to be around for prolonged periods of time. (Many people who own computers are seventy percent likely to be cat people.)

Impious said...

Shame I don't have tear ducts, because that was beautiful.

supervanman64 said...

I'm having trouble holding all these feels, bro. D:

Rafasde said...

So many feelings about this comic.

Deep. Deep and great. Yeah.

Aerials said...

My Manly Tears, they flow like rivers. So beautiful ;_;

SuperGiantRobot said...

Okay this gets a five.

Though I'm not an artist, so my 'no vote' rule doesn't apply here. But if it did...

ThemsAllTook said...

That was amazing. Bittersweet in such a good way.

Sothalic said...

Im not a big fan of that particular ship, but the Heart's Desire really added a nice twist, great comic!

Omega_code said...

I...I...I need some time alone *walkawayastearscomeoutofeyes*

ZeroHero said...

So...many....manly tears!!!! *sniff*

Beautiful. Heartwarming. Inspiring. yet...Bittersweet.

This comic had it all and more. Bravo, good sir. Bravo.

Gummy said...

I....that...hold on a sec i got something in my eye.

SuperGiantRobot said...

Unlike these people, I don't get emotional. Only one thing has ever effected me to a degree that I had, but this is excellently done.

Makes me wish I could draw, too.

Hivetyrant25 said...

Why can't I hold all these feels?

The Dragon named Red said...

I already saw this on Reddit.

OminousBrony said...

Someone needs to turn this into THE BEST RariSpike Fic EVER!!!!

mayoyaki said...

@Hivetyrant25

A sad Hive Tyrant? Something new everyday.

To be on-topic though, that was a really good read. I'm... not sure I can sleep now. (Timezones, meh.)

neil said...

Don't be afraid to show your manly brony tears men... this is beautiful.

Alondro said...

@Eric Cramer You must be one of those 'Ginger Kids' that Eric Cartman talked about! GINGER KIDS HAVE NO SOULS!!! D:

Harwick said...

Not fully onboard with the whole Spike/Rarity ship, but that was beautifully done either way. Great artwork and pacing!

RealityDowngrade said...

I find great mirth and joy that so many people think it is sweet and endearing that mind control is such a great way to forge true love.

Piper said...

I loves this comic! Nicely done. But Sethisto what's up with the throwing knife/machete banner on the home page ad bar? Daring-Do getting some sabres for her next adventure?

PacketsPony said...

Beautiful *sniff*
darn...

MadDoctorD said...

Well, if this was the Shrek universe...

Bronyhub said...

That was both beautiful and sad, wonderfully done Karzahnii!

Ponyko said...

Good Comic, but in Secret Of My Excess when Spike tries to tell Rarity how he feels, the way she stops him, to me it said "i know, but dont say it because were friends" i realy felt for him and Rarity because i have been there!!

Al_Skylark said...

I loved this! Gotta love light hearted stuff :) Especially when they are almost canon x)

jodyjm13 said...

I get the feeling I must be in a tiny minority of the fandom that thinks Spike has yet to hit puberty in the series, as evidenced by this voice getting deeper at the beginning of his growth spurt of "The Secret of My Excess". Aside from that qualm, this is an excellent comic. And to answer RealityDowngrade, I don't find it "sweet and endearing that mind control is such a great way to forge true love", but rather that they were able to build true love after a rash start.

CommodorePET said...

Awww!!!! this is so well done, its beautiful! :( I cried.

ThemsAllTook said...

@jodyjm13

If it's a minority, I'm in it with you, but I don't see anything in this comic that requires him to have hit puberty at the beginning. That was part of what I got from the 13th panel; things like that didn't matter to them.

Smashmatt202 said...

1.) I like how grown Spike looks in the comic. :)

2.) The ending is the main reason why the Rarity/Spike relationship won't work, and why Spike's relationship with Twilight will only end in heartbreak for Spike... :(

lastunusedmane said...

Why do people keep using ponies to get me all misty and why does it keep working?

nemryn said...

'One true canon ship'? Looks like somebody's forgetting about Twilight's Mom/Twilight's Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and 'Clyde' and 'Sue' Pie.

Karzahnii said...

@RealityDowngrade

I tried to address this as best as possible - the Heart's Desire had really only 'brought' them together, it didn't take control of anyone's mind. Spike still doesn't like it but learns that it didn't matter HOW they found each other, but that the things they had done was what made their love real.

Maybe that isn't the best explanation, but it's important to understand nothing about their love was faked or a result of mind control.

ZlagarX said...

Beautiful, sad and it made me think, a very good comic

Blayze Kohime said...

Oh my Celestia I was so afraid it was going to have a sad sad ending like some of these long comics do; I'm so glad it didn't.

RealityDowngrade said...

@Karzahnii

Don't sweat it, despite my dark musings that having ones mind heavily influenced by an outside ingredient is one of the great heights of evil, to me personally, there is still a part of me that finds this comic quite endearing, and even a bit romantic. I don't like that part of me, love makes one do very illogical things.

I'm almost as in love with this comic as I was with Decay. Wonderful plot, and based on the author's notes, I certainly see the Up insperation in places.

Alexander the Great said...

I haven't cried this much since Titanic

Nova25 said...

...*THIS* is how the Rarity&Spike thing should have been handled, in the 'Yours Truly' story.
To my opinion.

Derp said...

Damn that was...moving. It makes me wish that the studio had have handled their episode together better instead of the "Oh i know how u feel but we're just friends,but let me keep you extremely expensive FireRuby" Perhaps there is more to come...
