I know you're embarrassed to talk about mlp, but am I the only one who finds it WEIRD that Spike and Twilight didn't know about the Molt until Smolder had to tell Spike? Wasn't Spike learning about dragons since he made friends with Ember?
You know… I came to the (very obvious) conclusion a while back that the reason the show started to go downhill after the movie is because the majority of the writers for season 8 and 9 were completely new writers who never bothered to do research on the pre-established characters and lore. Like yeah, they made a lot of references and callbacks to previous seasons, but when it came to character writing and continuity they didn't know what they were doing.
And the writers that have been with the show for a while like Josh Harber had become burned out by season 8.
Oh, about your question. You're right, it doesn't make any sense that both Twilight and Spike wouldn't know about the Molt.
Ever since the season 6 episode Gauntlet of Fire, Twilight and Spike had started learning about dragons from Ember.
In the season 7 premiere Twilight says this:
Twilight Sparkle: Starlight will love it in the Dragon Lands. In her letters, Ember said dragons do a lot of fun things. The Feast of Fire, the Dragon Bowl, Claw-chella.
They also establish in the season 7 episode Triple Threat that Spike was now the royal ambassador to the Dragon Lands:
Spike: Reason number one – I invited Dragon Lord Ember to Ponyville today. Reason two – the Dragon Lord is a dragon. Reason three – she's coming here to learn more about friendship.
Twilight Sparkle: According to Ember's letters, the dragons are trying to be friends, but competing is in their nature, and it's leading to more and more fights.
Spike: Which brings me to reason number four. The Dragon Lord wants my advice, and as the new official Equestrian friendship ambassador to the dragons, I can't let her down.
In the season 7 finale Spike is able to recognize and name a dragon sport:
Spike: Good thing you brought the official Equestrian friendship ambassador to the dragons to help you navigate our customs. Like our favorite sport – gorge surfing!
In the Equestria Girls special Spring Breakdown, Spike is telling the group a funny story about what it was like to attend a dragon wedding:
Spike: ...and that's the last time I ever went to a dragon wedding!
Both Twilights, Sunset Shimmer, and Rainbow Dash: [laugh]
It's unknown if he was there for diplomatic reasons, or if he was invited, but he was there.
So even though they never show it on screen (for some reason) it's been implied through dialogue that both Spike and Twilight have learned a lot about dragons since season 6. Spike travels to the Dragon Lands for various reasons, and Ember sends them letters with information on dragon society and culture.
So it makes no logical sense that both Twilight and Spike didn't know about the Molt. The Molt is basic dragon puberty.
Also in that same episode, Spike was able to recognize and name the pimple that he got:
Rarity: Is there something wrong with your face?
Spike: [sighs] It's a stone scale. It isn't magical or anything like the call of the Dragon Lord. It's just... red. And itchy. [groans] And embarrassing.
It's kind of unbelievable that both Spike and Twilight wouldn't have learned about the Molt until that point. Smolder had to tell Spike what the Molt was…
Smolder: [laughs] Wow! I have seen some pretty bad molts in my time, but yours takes the cake!
Spike: Molts?
Smolder: The molt? Super painful stone scales, fire burps, uncontrollable volume shifts? It's all part of growing up dragon. Congrats!
…
Spike: No-no-no-no-no. The last time I grew up, I turned into a giant greedy monster.
Smolder: Greed-induced bigness. That's totally different. The molt is completely normal. Every dragon goes through it. Pretty soon, you'll leave and strike out on your own.
And Twilight was genuinely shocked to see Spike had sprouted wings.
Twilight Sparkle: Spike?! How did you get wings?!
…
Twilight Sparkle: This is amazing! I didn't know if you'd ever get wings. I'm so happy for you. Does it have something to do with this molt you were talking about?
Spike: [sighs] It's what's been going on with me. The breakout, the fire burps. The molt is when dragons get older and start to change.
Also up until that point, Spike was the only dragon in the show without wings.
Except for this guy:
Spike was the odd dragon out because he lacked wings. You think at some point of Twilight and Spike learning about dragons throughout season 6 to the movie that Spike's lack of wings would've come up in some way, and Ember or some other dragon would've explained to Spike and/or Twilight what the Molt was.
I can only imagine that they wanted Spike getting wings to be a surprise to the characters as well as the audience, so them knowing about it beforehand wouldn't work. But… them not knowing about it beforehand doesn't work, if you've been keeping up with the show.
In conclusion the post-movie writers didn't give a crap about previous continuity.
And didn't bother to proofread their own work.

This is actually part two of a project I started where I randomly generate two of any mlp characters and make a fusion of the two! The first five are lost to time.

Christmas gift for my friend.
(Image description: Smolder from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She's holding up one of her hands, and looking out the camera, with one eyebrow raised. The art is drawn on paper and shaded with pencil.)

Why I like Spike's friendship with Ember and Thorax more than his friendship with Smolder.
Spike and Ember
When Ember is first introduced (Gauntlet of Fire) she and Spike have a similar dilemma.
Ember is determined to prove to her father that she's just as capable as the other dragons, since he's protective of her since she's noticeable smaller than other dragons her age. It's more noticeable in the comics:
Spike had a problem of the other older dragons, mainly Garble, diminishing him because of his small size, lack of wings, and softer personality.
Both Spike and Ember needed to prove themselves capable of doing things other dragons could do. And in the end by working together, they were able to do that.
Ember knew next to nothing about friendship, or pony society. Spike knew next to nothing about dragon culture and society. But after Ember became the Dragon Lord and Spike became the Ambassador to the Dragon Lands, they both continued to learn through each other (most of it happens offscreen, but it's implied this is the case.)
Both Spike and Ember learn from each other, and are in similarboats. Mutually beneficial relationship.
Spike and Thorax
When Thorax is first introduced (The Times They Are A Changeling), he is a rebel Changeling who decided to leave the Hive because he wanted to pursue friendship. He was an outsider, both within his own species and around ponies. Spike found Thorax and decided to trust him and help him out.
Spike is also an outsider, both within his own species and with ponies. Although the ponies treat Spike like a friend, he's still the odd one out, and sometimes he feels that way. Because of Spike accepting him and giving him a chance, Thorax wouldn't have become the leader of the Changelings we know him today.
Spike taught Thorax what true friendship was, and Spike became a better person because of it. Mutually beneficial relationship.
Spike and Smolder
Spike and Smolder don't have a mutually beneficial relationship. Smolder doesn't learn anything from Spike. Everything that Smolder learned about friendship and becoming a better person isn't through Spike, it's through her relationship with the other Young Six members and the school. Smolder always ends up taking the dominant position whenever she and Spike are interacting together, which I don't like. Spike always needed her help, but she never needed his.
Spike's friendship with Ember and Thorax is more genuine and less forced. Spike has more in common with Ember and Thorax than with Smolder. They could've done more episodes of Spike interacting with those two instead of Smolder.
Also as a side note, I'm a bit irked that Smolder and the Young Six, who were introduced near the very end of the show, were made to be official Elements of Harmony, but Spike, who has been one of the main characters of the show since the very beginning, wasn't. Doesn't that strike anyone else as stupid?
These new children characters who were introduced at the second to last season of the show (I'm not including those season 10 comics) were made to be Elements... but Spike wasn't :/
