It's like someone said on DA:
Hats make Spike evil.

The top hat to frame the owl, the fedora in Secret of my Excess.

Yeah. Pretty much sounds right.

this is hilarious

^_^ Thanks.

And it makes him a good deal taller as well!

Yep.

Rawr

Yikes... perhaps the creepiest he's ever been...

Which character you mean?

Spike, I've seen Tetch be creepier.

Hehehe Oh yeah.

Perhaps in a prequel series, there was a blooming sort of something between him and Rarity but since Spike was quite sickly, he couldn't really venture out of the library. He spent the days between her visits learning about engineering and mechanical design, especially nano-tech. But then Discord broke loose and kept that something from ever being. First he almost killed Spike and led Rarity to believe that he was indeed dead. Already bisexual it made her more inclined to lesbianism as an emotional crutch. Spike survived and became obsessed with what could have been and perhaps would have been but would now never be thanks to that cackling chimera. He became obsessed with using the nanobots and other technology he created to make his life the way he believed it was supposed to be. His specialty is mind control and he uses constantly it in his deluded quest to restore his personal wonderland and have her as his Alice. Before becoming Two-face, Twilight spent her spare time trying to help cure Spike of his madness, but is there really any hope left for him? a centerpiece in his obsessions Rarity had turned to Rainbow Dash for comfort or more specifically her alter ego Batmare, trying to attract her as the antiheroine Catmare. Spike remembers what Discord caused, and doesn't get along with the clown prince of chaos. Spike is determined to bring his fantasy world of what almost was to life even if he has to use mind control to get you know who to be a part of it.

Holy shit that's actually very well thought out.

I'll definitely consider a good deal of it.
