I dunno about Spike, but I think the comic intimates that's the case or that there's some connection by making Smokey the youngest :/ I always read it that way, anyway...But not that they were kin to Spike.
Speaking of twins, I think Buttons and SS Bangles would make good twins. They have similar color schemes and "Buttons & Bangles" sounds like a name Hasbro would give a set of Newborn Twins. They don't have the same symbol, but Sleepy Head and Sleep Tight have different symbols, so there's a precedent.
I believe Wish-I-May and Wish-I-Might are twins.

Not so much with regular Buttons though.@LAW - I meant the fact that living things evolved from sea creatures in earth evolution, and the land ponies thus probably evolved from sea ponies. Whereas the wingers would evolve instead from butterflies and flutters from dragonflies. Something like that

Whereas the wingers would evolve instead from butterflies and flutters from dragonflies. Something like that Though, cetaceans and pinnipeds evolved from land-dwelling creatures. So, you could go either way.Let's see-Dream Valley is a fjord. This both allows for the sea ponies to penetrate deep into the valley and it goes with my general idea that the G1 world is based heavily on Norse mythology.-The World of G1 MLP is one where the Norse analog culture were the ones to becomes the great empire ruling over much of the known world and being a center of culture and science. The empire ruled for centuries until the eruption of a super volcano that puts the world in a years long cold period. Starving, the empire pushed southward into warmer climates. Forces in the south took umbrage and pushed them back and eventually sacked the weakened empire as the weather warmed again. Now, its territories are divided among many city-states and much of it has been retaken by the wilds.-The Ancients were a highly advanced race that ruled over the world millions of years ago. Nothing is known of their culture or even biology. Skeletons found alongside their artifacts suggest some cross between reptile and mammal (unlike the completely reptilian dragons). Much of their ruins still standing are from earlier in their presence when they used all stone. However, artifacts have shown them to possess technology millennia ahead of the modern races. Unfortunately, none seems to be functional. Maybe there are some buried facilities that were protected from the ravages and time and the elemryents.-People use solei quartz crystals for light. These crystals can absorb sunlight and then glow for about 60 times the length of exposure. Light fixtures use mirrored shutters to close them off and conserve their energy when not in use. It's often a village affair when there is a day of fair weather to put our their crystals to charge.-Earth ponies have the power of geomancy. Through their hooves, they can feel the properties of the ground underneath them. They're close to nature and plant life, able to work a kind of power on the soil to help them grow. Their hooves are also diamond hard and they have the best physical strength and stamina of the three primary breeds.-Pegasi are built to be light, weighing about 90% that of a ground pony of the similar size. Their skeletons have a structure much like carbon fiber to lighten them without compromising strength and durability. Their sternum is larger than in other ponies and three separate muscle groups attach to it. Their hooves have thinner hulls and spongier innards to both reduce weight and provide a cushion for landing. They are the most resilient of the breeds, healing faster and being the least prone to disease. They also has survive the widest extremes of temperature and pressure.-Unicorns are actually the weakest of the breeds. They don't have the strength of earth ponies or resilience of pegasi. They make up for this by wielding magic.
Reviving this because I recently got SS Twilight and wanted to share my interpretation of her Her flocking is pretty okay, but her hair got chopped down to be a bit shorter than normal. My first thought was "pony Nancy Drew"...maybe it was the candle cutie mark that helped me think of this? It gives me the idea that she uses candles to light her way in an abandoned house looking for clues or something.
