Welcome to the /bug/ thread!
Where we get together to talk about bugmoms and bugmom accessories, and make fun of rainbow fagbugs for disappointing bugmom and most importantly try to find out how many eggs are too many eggs.

I believe the latter moreso than the former. She makes her children look after their siblings like any mother with a few (thousand) children would do, but she occasionally decides to show the young ones some affection. I've got some artwork and a planned story in the pipeline about just that, but I can't share the sketch with you because of her big bug tiddies. She's got to be careful that she doesn't sit on any of them when she visits the nursery.

My headcanon is that there are changelings on the outskirts of Equestria that are more starved and feral than the ones we see on the show and that use their abilities to cloak instead of imitating ponies, so their appearance is less ponylike as well.

>>42387864
In the summer of 2023 I had my first "real job" unboxing things from trucks and stacking boxes. The store was mess so I was excited to start organizing things--something I do in my free time. My excitement died when I was told, "to put things where you think they belong" on the first day. To make matters worse I was told three separate ways to find out when I was supposed to come into work by different people. I checked out and imagined the place was run by Discord; explaining why it was such a mess.

My favorite fantasy was that Chrysalis was being punished for her deeds by being forced to work retail in the store. I figured since she's a queen and all she'd have experience running things so she'd work her way up, somehow get Discord fired, and become manger of the store. People would start to love their job and she'd feed off it. Ironically, I ended up buying a Chrysalis toy with one of my pay checks so it was worth it.

I have this little room in the mind palace where I'm her changeling secretary and it's my job to advise her and translate all of her goofy megalomaniacal schemes into practical actions. I like to imagine that either I'm begrudgingly tolerated or that I get used as a stress ball, depending on how I feel when I start thinking about it.

You know the feeling when a gadfly sits on you to drink your blood? I think it's like that, on a bigger scale. You get a sudden rush of adrenaline for instinctive reasons, the bug is jumpy because it also instinctively expects you to swat it and wants to finish the hug before it happens, the hug feels a little awkward because the bug's legs bend in wrong ways, but mostly it's just tingly. Pad its legs with tiny pillows for a softer experience.

even more fitting that the spy would shape shift with stolen changeling magic as a unicorn, at least in the headcanon im making

>The sweet smell of apple-cinamon wafts into the hallway.
>Stepping inside, you close the door and lock it behind you.
>Without the lights of the hallway behind it's almost pitch black. The only sources of light being various scented candles scattered throughout the room, the bright screen of a laptop, and two dimly glowing, dark pools starring at you as you drop your things.
>It was surprisingly chilly.
>Navigating through a few pieces of furniture you drew closer to her place on the couch.
>The candle on top the small table is bright enough to glimpse at some of her body.
>She sat upright; back slightly hunched over, rear touching the cushions, both forelegs being partially kept free, and a laptop sitting on her knees.
>Aside from her forelegs, only her face and horn were as the rest of her body was cocooned in a thick, double-layered, pink blanket.
>It's a shame she gets cold so easily because the way the flickering light dances on her obsidian chitin is a sight to behold.
>You plop down on the couch next to her, sink into the cushions, and close your eyes.
>The smell of a bakery, the "click-clacking" of typing on the laptop's keyboard, the cool air, it's all enough to make your mind wonder; not asleep, but not fully awake either.
>Life wasn't always like this, you have tons of good memories--both recent and old--still most days feel worse than the last.
>As if you were in a desperate struggle to stay above the surface, fighting against some unseen force trying to drag you into the depths of foreboding doom.
>Bad memories and thoughts rush in through your nostrils and mouth--today's events, yesterday's mistakes, tomorrow's anxieties--you feel a tap-tap at your side.
>Your eyes lift open to see her looking up at you, the look on her face impossible to read.
>You never felt or heard any movement yet she was now closer.
>A corner of the blanket once fully wrapped around her in was held towards you in a bright green shroud of energy.
>Now her visible wings glimmered in the soft candlelight.
>Taking the blanket in one hand, you pull her closer with the other.
>Although she's been buried in a blanket for God knows how long, she's still cold.
>You've asked about this before and she said it was part of her biology; Changelings don't do well in the cold.
>Upon making contact with her bare body your natural body heat starts to fade, as if someone poked a pin-sized hole in a water bottle causing it slowly drain away.
>All in one motion, she closed the laptop with a thump and laid it down on the farside of the couch while she stretched both forelegs around your abdomen.
>Her head resting on your scapula and curved horn nudging the back of your jaw.
>Not only were you back above water but now you were safe on a raft.
>Still on afloat in the ocean of life but at least you're out of the water and not alone.

I give all bugs red because it's what the show always had. I guess green and sometimes blue don't look that bad but it's always gonna be weird fanon stuff to me.
>>
>>42425901
To be fair the show also had the bug swarm use "bashing your head as hard as you can, backing up and repeating" as the best tactic they could come up with to attack a big shield. Sometimes the show just does weird stuff - we all know the interviews with writers talking about the love and care that went into S1, but that was by no means universal and also by the end of S2 was not necessarily still at the same level as during initial production of the first season.

Plus apparently in the show all changelings hated their queen and were just waiting for an opportunity to betray her if an easier food source presented itself. I dunno.
>>
>>42425907
Inconsistent writing is one thing but I don't see what it has to do with visual character design, but I guess Thorax and Pharynx had different colours from all the other bugs. Every single changeling, old or skittle, had red internals though.
>>
>>42425897
Blue-green, the color of their blood.
>>42425901
The red mouth is a threat display using chromatophores. Changelings aren't actually very good at combat, getting by mostly on bluff and bluster. See: the way Ocellus "fights".

Are you asking if we like bugs? In the bug thread? For bug fans?
>>
Do changelings have pupils or do they have weird compound eyes?
What are the white spots supposed to be?
>>
>>42429047
Changelings have pseudo-pupils, similar to the praying mantis Yknow how most pictures of mantises make it look like they're staring at you, because they appear to have pupils in their compound eyes? They don't really have pupils, since it's a result of how light reflects off the individual cells in their compound eyes, but it happens to look similar to the pupils in the eyes of more advanced animals. It's like that.
>>
>>42428966
Only the skittles versions
>>
>>42429047
They all have vertical pupils, like Chrysalis, but most have very sensitive eyes so they keep their membranes closed to filter out the excess light.
The white spot is what you can see of their pupil behind the tinted membrane.
>>
>>42429047
i should have came here first lol
>>42429545
>>
>>42429047
I like weird compound eyes that they can manipulate the appearance of with practice. They can change the hue and brightness of the individual lenses to make them show a specific. The usual low effort is a glow to signify where their attention is, since they tend to be in darker places. Chrysalis makes hers look pony like to show how superior she is and her skill level.
>>
>>42426501

I missed a "thing," I meant "show a specific thing."
I'm pretty sure the only bugs that were shown that learned that skill were Chrysalis and Pharynx.

Also, that Chrysalis has an absolutely Grinch like smile in the bottom right of those.

This makes for a good reaction image.

Hey, check this out:
https://www.lulu.com/shop/fimfic/hold-your-horsewords/paperback/product-yvyw4kj.html

This is Hold Your Horsewords, an /mlp/ anthology project from the Fimfiction thread. I submitted two of my stories, and one was From Love to Changelings. The guy behind it will also be selling copies at Mare Fair, with the proceeds going to charity. If you want a physical copy of my story, along with many others, well now you know about it. I'm not making any money off it, to clarify.

Anyway, I'll only mention it this once. I did go through and proofread the story a bunch, but only some minor tweaks were made to the text, and those are incorporated into the online copy by now:
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/545041/from-love-to-changelings

>dronefagging in the bug thread
Do you mean like the mind control kind of dronefagging, or just changeling drone fagging? The former is a little bit based but I haven't noticed it at all recently (maybe I'm retarded and/or wasn't lurking at the right times). And changeling dronefagging is the most natural thing in a changeling thread

One dedicated guy + a long history of very few contributors, I suppose. I hide all the posts myself.
Have also been hearing every so often since the show ended how people left this thread because it turned into a fetish general, which may be an exaggeration, but it's pretty much every character thread if not the board in general.

Semi-relatedly I never understood the homo complaints because it seems like maybe a handful of posts in every two or three threads.

He's probably referring to BuggyCYOA, a CYOA by a guy who mistakenly thought that having a male bug would mean less horny followers. The CYOA never actually got gay, but some of said followers antics achieved minor meme status for a time.

What if they know but are culturally conditioned to not show it? Unless both of you are in the same infiltration crew (a bond more intimate than any family), it's a terrible faux pas to tell another changeling that his disguise is lacking. Maybe some of them tried to tell him but were too subtle about it.

I'm quivering in anticipation of this being finished. I don't know, have this sketch I was going to have refined instead. When the artist hadn't progressed with it any, I asked for some more experimentation instead, and aren't you glad I did?

I also got an update from ja0822ck I'll share with you later.
>>
>>
>>42448346
That's dumb, why wouldn't one infiltration group just let another group fuck up their disguise out of some weird etiquette? Seems self-defeating.
Most etiquette rules are either common sense for decency, or only apply in societies overflowing with resources. Historically all the most nonsensical "etiquette" and social rituals were confined to upper noble classes with basically infinite resources, perfect personal safety, etc., not people involved in actual work let alone dangerous or military work necessary for survival.

I was thinking with my penis, and not too deep at that. But to retrofit some sense into it, maybe the (rarely reflected upon) underlying advantage is avoiding design by comittee? It's one thing to warn somebody that his zipper is undone. Nothing bad can come from it because it's clear what's right and what's wrong; the objective function is simple, smooth, monotonous. But imagine a hive of super-social creatures, empathetic and eager to help, swarming onto an infiltration artist, who also happens to be super-social => vulnerable to peer pressure, and confusing the shit out of him with unsolicited contradictory advices.

Before, after or during the utter failure that was the entire existence of Chrysalis? I'll die of hunger in all three cases, most likely.

Step one: dig up a homey home to retreat to when, not if, things get ugly. What I envision looks like something from the Shire from the outside and is an exact replica of Robbie Rotten's lair on the inside, but with more webs everywhere FUCK YOU BITCHES IMMA WEBMASTER NOW
Step two: try to introduce myself to the contemporary bug society. Get killed or exiled because bugs are kinda assholes in most stories but hey I tried.
Step three: maybe try to pull off some Austin Powers villain plot with lots of baits and switches and radio towers. Adopt a bunch of disenfranchised mares as henchwomen and obnoxiously try to marry them off to assorted equestrian heroes. Pay taxes with fairy gold. Be terrifying.

I will never betray a bug. This idea has become the point of fixation for me, leading to several psychotic meltdowns over autistic made-up scenarios in my head. That was awesome.

I'd love to see Her, being the master (mistress?) of manipulation to abuse said weakness of mine. That'd be quite an enlightening experience.

>>42474748
Would it be easier to betray a different bug, perhaps less capable of intentionally exploiting you?
>>
>>42474759
Betraying a bug is as easy as to steal a candy from a toddler. Any meaningful relationship between a creature in which nature is to feign it and literally anyone else requires an impossible amount of trust from both sides. That's the beauty of it. An accomplishment of something seemingly impossible.
>>
>>42474748
it is an admirable fantasy
to be the true object of affection for another, turbocharged by the others physical need of you to survive
and coming to need the same from her, to be in her presence to survive as well
daydreams like this pass through my dreams and drunken hazy daydreams alike
to be someone somewhere else and live their life, it has always enthralled me in the back of my mind

love finding art with stories attached below em

>Weevil and Echo are a married changeling couple who, amongst thousands of others at a time of mass migration, have left the Changeling Kingdom in search of a better life in Equestria, the so-called land of love, tolerance and opportunity. Now Equestrian citizens and living in Six Points, a diverse and deprived district in Lower Manehattan, Weevil and Echo have opened their own business and are trying their best to raise their family and simply live their lives

>Of course, raising a family is never easy wherever you live, especially in this bizarre urban jungle populated by friends, enemies, and all out crazies. But through it all, Weevil keeps a level head, an unwavering dedication to his friends and family and his values, and by doing so will come out on top out of whatever this Celestia-forsaken city throws at him.

>Hopefully.

I can see Nightmare Moon/Luna being this obsessively possessive towards her lover, but Chrysalis? Why would she? Food is meant to be consumed and discarded, not obsessed over, she'd rather be dismissive and ignorant but expect YOU to obsess over her. However I believe taking the relationship with her to the level where she starts valuing you so much is possible. And only as long as you believe it is. Canonical Chrysalis will never take a dweeb like the one on your image seriously.

So, yes, I think. To answer your question.

>changelings are just ponies that look a bit like insects
The most boring worldbuilding ever. A bee/ant/termite colony is already basically a one big family. Changelings living in normal nuclear families like ponies and humans do feels cheap.

The tongue focus feels too much lust-provoking for my rotten mind unfortunately. But the Her eyes, on the contrary, they only give me a heartboner whenever I gaze upon them.

she probably has the prettiest eyes in the series, eyes to get lost in

and just as lust provoking in the right circumstance

i like the idea of changelings trying to bake because you know it is literally made with love
theyre almost incentivized to be good at cooking to get the maximum love from those around them
>>
>>42505901
That's why changelings are so great.
All they really want is for ponies to be full of love and affection so they have enough to feed on

Makes for better individuals if you give them the proper moral compass
Having their whole driving force for survival be for them to get others to love them
They wouldn't even need to disguise themselves after a few generations
>>
>>42506329
>>42507333
They deserve more than deriving the entirety of their quality as individuals from their raw convenience for others. According to saint Paul, love, among other things, is not self-seeking. Does my ever-present survival impulse render me incapable, or markedly less capable than humans and ponies, of using the absurdity of stupid unconditional non self seeking love as a trampoline into transcendental shit? Do I even have a soul? I can always go monk, genuinely forfeit my desire to survive and then seek out love anyway. Then, hopefully, it'll be sufficiently selfless and irrational to be legit. But can it be the best way to play my cards? It's a lot of extra work just to get where an average human or pony begins.
It's frustrating. There should be a better tradeoff to their peculiar nature than this.

Found the skittlefag. Caring about the family, the Hive, is what should be should be the matter of course for everyling. If the bees stop pollinating the flowers they feed on, they'd go extinct.
