I'd post Evan's festive Chryssy, but maybe he'd like to do the honours.
Changelings smell bad.
>>42840507Its called pheromone, anonPheromone and bad smell are two entirely different things
>>42840507just like you!
thorax should have been a bug gril
>>42840103>Evan Who's it?

>>42839009cow tools
>>42842053but theyre made by bugs thoughtheyre bug tools
>>42840103>Making me dig through my old artAt least this is a decent piece.
>>42842280a fine vintage bugmamathe painting on the wall is a nice funny touch
>>42841932>artist with three pieces uploaded new guy or new alias? the style isnt bad
>>42842280>At least this is a decent piece.Nice indeed. You should draw her pregnant more.>2017Wew, time flies.>>42842559>new guy or new alias?I've added all three of those pieces to the boorus, and his artist tag was unpopulated when I uploaded the first. I'm familiar with his work, but can't recall him drawing ponies previously, so I think he's a furry coming back to this side of things.
Bugs would never slide /mlp/, never ever.
>>42842644>but can't recall him drawing ponies previously, so I think he's a furry coming back to this side of things.always sweet to hear there's new poni art being made
>>42843313I like when the art of the three of them is normal like that and not some fucked up ntr shit
>>42843771It's funny how one of the few married couples in the show is practically a crackship where everyone else is concerned, but I suppose that's to be expected from hornies.
>>42843784It is strange
>>42842999calm down outback satan im still gonna make the buggy pizza
Fresh home made pineapple and ham pizza for my bugmama, only the evilest of pizzas for her
rember to bundle up your bugs this winter!!
>>42845032
What do you see in this image, /bug/?
>>42845582Is she snacking on a guinea pig or something?>>42845032Very cute!
>>42845594>Is she snacking on a guinea pig or something?My first thoughts too, kek. But going by the tags the artist applied to the post on derpi, it's supposed to be her tongue.
>>42845582balloon
>>42845582At first glance I thought it was a liver or like a fossilized sea bugStrangely enough i just woke up from a nightmare involving a sea bug fossil actually
>Ocellus asked the human what he knew about changeling reproduction.>Anon thought for a moment.>"You start out as a horrible little squirming thing.">"After a while you develop into a collection of noxious semi-fluids.">"You emerge from that stage as something that looks kind of like an adult, but smaller, weaker, dumber, and overall a useless version of an adult.">"Eventually, that thing grows into an actual adult.">The changeling looked away, disappointed. He didn't sound interested in what she was thinking of.>Anon leaned back in his chair.>"That's how it is for humans. What's changeling development like?"
>>42846452>something, something ovipositor >something, something bugpregnant
>>42845924Literally me wew (I love the wintertime)
>>42846937>Why is that bug so happy!?>Put em in the unhappy machine!
>>42847200>PLEASE, ANYTHING BUT TEH MACHINE!!!
>>42847441You can practically hear the changling runt accent in this.
Legally required to hug the bug on Christmas
>>42847581It's a fact
>>42847581fug the bug*ftfy
>>42847581They don't call it bugswarming for nothing yeah
>>42847994I would still rather hug in all honestyMaybe light cuddling by the fire but thats about it
>>42845582she's munching on my testicle (it's ok, I have a spare)
>Hostile Hug Bug Inbound
>>42846452little bugger should ask her king instead lel
>>42837737God I want to fuck her.
>>42849055>there exists a changeling ritual to integrate willing love hosts into the hive>to be integrated they must sacrifice a piece of themselves to be paired with a ling within the hive>the missing piece (a teste for males and an ovary for females) is replaced with a magic pheromone organ for receiving and sending nonverbal signals amongst hive mates >upon full systemic acceptance of the new magic tissue the organ functions wholly as the original had with little to no noticeable drawbacks while also producing pheromone for use within and without the hive>this induction unto the hive allows the paired host to function as a normal changeling would in most any role available>further magical transplants for further changeling abilities have been whispered of but no survivors of these far more radical rituals have yet been recorded
There's something at my window anons.Says its a fairy so i should let it in but it looks a little funky, what should my plan be here?
>bored looking through new art>open this cuz it looks cool https://twibooru.org/3659898>mouse over the download>see the filesizelol
>>42849648Cool gif though
>>42849575>is pretty>has butterfly wings>says she's a fairy yea that checks out OPEN THE GATES!
>>42850211Underrated pairingThere could have been such beautiful couture
>>42850211
>>42850211>>42850824>element of generosity >vs>one of the most greedy, self centered creatures in all the landworst missed opportunity for her reformation an arc of her reforming chryssi like discord over the course of a season and i know it would have ended in her going rainbow but thats the trade off i guess
>>42850856>Was the first one of the group to guve power to another of her own will>Not deformable Not that I'm a fan of the skittle bugs, but I've seen some designs of chrysalis that are ok.
>>42851069ive seen some good ones changedling chryssi redesigns can be very hit or miss lelmakes me almost glad they stoned her because the alternative to that in my mind would be her getting instantaneously skittled at the end of the finale
and imagine chryssi getting her hooves on rarity during an episode like inspiration manifestation they could have been an unstoppable duo of evil with the power of that book and chryssi manipulating her to 'help' others
Some bugs probably celebrate hearthswarming in secret behind the queens back
>>42851364Don't get me wrong here, her OG dark changeling design will always be better than any cannon skittlbug design could be.I'm just saying that i don't want to have no chrysalis at all, she could've been reformed.
>>42851701>Why is that bug so Jolly!?>Put em in the unjolly machine!
>>42851795BRUH AGAIN!?!?!CANT A BUG BE HAPPY!?!??!!?
>>42852092No, happy and jolly bugs are prone to undermining the Chrissy authority. It’s a known fact.
>>42852154I suppose I can understand how festivities can be correlated with pony friendship magic but can't a bug just get one night of the year at the very least to be filled with hearthswarming joy?
>>42852298>Hmmm… A holiday about taking material items from others…? >…>I will allow it.(Also, funny how her name is chrysalis, yet she never undergoes any change throughout the show. What a waste).
Learning how to use Gimp image editorHere's something for /bug/fags until I figure out more complex commands
>>42852509I don't get it.
>>42852693I would still love her if her head was wide
>>42853027This was only a test and you passed.
>>42853161i will love her no matter what form she takeseach new chryssy is beautiful in her own way
>>42849324dont we all?
>>42853305Even if she was a worm (bug)?
So, Ja0822ck finished your commission, did he?
>>42853715yes, even if she was a worm or a really cute ant like that she is very cute there
>>42853784No, he's still blueballing me. I did ask for something complex thoughbeit.
I want Queen Chrysalis to break into my room to wish me a happy Hearth's Warming!
>>42854033>anon receives an letter about a hearths warming visit from queen chrysalis herself>thinks he's gonna get a presents and bugsex>she just steals all his love and leaves>grench's_ultimatum.mp3
>>42854332Did the letter look like this?
>>42854332Poor buggo doesn't get any presents for chrystmas so she resorts to stealing them instead :c
>>42854332Well thats just anons fault for assuming it would go any other way.He should be glad he got the chance to give all his love to the queen.
>>42854924Cheeselegs' mane is going wild
>>42854671I see a shiny, translucent object and I think of Queen Chrysalis. It's that simple.>>42853909Oh, well cool pieces in any case. I look forward to seeing the finished piece once you share it with us.
>>42854793>He should be glad he got the chance to give all his love to the queen.You're not wrong there, it would be an honor
>>42855491Fuck off.
>>42854671>doesn't get any presents for chrystmas so she resorts to stealing them insteadwould have made for a good hearths warming episode that could double as a redemption story for bugmama>>42854924veri cute, new wallpaper material>>42855811consider your own advice, fren
>>42855986I'm not your "fren"
>>42855994but are (you) still my buddy, pal?
>>42856024I doubt it. You're defending someone who I don't like so we can't be pals either.
>>42856029unfortunate that you learned nothing from the friendship lessons of the poniesanyway, check out this sick ass bug boat
>>42856082I'll not fall for the friendship propaganda, fag.
>>42856099friendship is an inevitability
>>42856314Be realistic anonFriendship is food
>>42856314Chrysalis would approve if her kids were specist
>>42856393No, friendship is POWER!
>>42856525You have to be beautiful while conquering the world too!
>>42856525Food is power, so he's not wrong.
Lipstick bugmama:Yay or neigh?
>>42856796NeighThe queen is perfect as is, only the inadequate need accessorie.
>>42856393such a beautifully self assured smile i love her so much
>>42856796yay only if together with big boobs and futa cock
>>42856796I was gonna say it looks like shit, but now I imagine she'd put it on to leave stains across Anon's body
>>42853507Yes. Yes we do.
>>42855672I dont think she knows how human physiology works lel
>>42858057Oh you're gonna have fertilized eggs inside you one way or another.
>>42858156...What?
>>42858156>>42858157bugpregnancy is one of the few non negotiable things you have to deal with when you are with a queen changeling
>>42858695
>>42858695Whatever fetish you want, she can do it I suppose.>>42858706I guess thats kinda attractive?
>>42858706Do changelings work like real bugs, where the queen has a harem of males to mate with her, or does the semen of the stallions Chrysalis rapes somehow works with her biology?
>>42858753Changelings dont work like bugs in the show at all. Since they canonically have close family. It just might be that pre-chrysalis banishment. All children were community children rather than being yours specifically.
>>42858753>does the semen of the stallions Chrysalis rapes somehow works with her biology?I write it like this. Her changelings don't even have genitals, except an anus, maybe. Grammatically, Queen Chrysalis is a female surrounded by males exclusively, making "she" and "he", "her" and "him", unambiguous.
>>42858753Little bit of both in my headcanonLike both could work at the same time
>>42856394it is the natural state of any group to prefer those in their ingroup especially a hive of creatures such as changelings with an entire culture and body based around parasitizing other creatures for the prosperity of their hive
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5DAHilnrcNU>new chrysalis ASMR>no voice modOh....Okay....
>>42859442First the Derpy, Now the Chrysalis? She is giving attention to non-popular characters? This might be peak.
>>42859442Can we pipe it through AI to get the real voice?
>10million foals with Queen Chrysalis
>>42860178Rookie numbers anon.I wouldn't stop until our offspring made hive fleet leviathan look like a modest sized nuclear family.
>>42859455>AIid prefer a filter to get that real two toned voice>>42859453shes been doing breddy good so farthat adagio one got me good i hope she does more hypo and at least one more bug vid
>>42860506I actually hate hypno and didnt even get past a minute of Chrissy. Wish it was some passive aggressive flirting from a mare in rehabilitation.
>>42860548>Wish it was some passive aggressive flirting from a mare in rehabilitation.(you) could probably go comment and ask her to do that and she would probably respond
>>42860578… I don’t have an account. Atleast not a pony account.
>>42860578NOOOO I READ THE COMMENTS AND MOTS PEOPLE ARE INTO THE HYPNO! IF THERE IS ANOTHER ONE, ITS GONNA BE THE SAME!!!! I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE WHO LIKE ASMR!!! THEY ARE FUCKING WEIRDOS!!!
>>42860646https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdasbLKm4s0>me rn having seen several asmr tubers go down the same path before making only hypno roleplays>(i love hypno)its only a matter of time, anon
>>42852509Oh naisu! Any updates?
>>42860284Why is she so concerned? Her children look awesome and evil as fuck there
>>42861213She thought she had what she needed to feed her brood.But she found out "happy meals" do not actually contain happiness.
>>42860683GRAHHH!! Atleast we got a sweet (and very hot possessive undertones) derpy asmr. Looking forward to more.
>>42861430>chryssi gets to humanities' earth >she believes her last two incursions upon the ponies to be too militaristic>she hatches a hairbrained scheme to be more subtle in this new world>she finds "suitable" non living forms of emotion to feed her hive>she buys up products having to do with love and happiness>these new foods just leave her swarm amped and sugar rushed wanting to invade even more to get real loveheh heh>>42861446>just released a new one>maud>she forgot she wanted it to be eqg and edited horsie clip clops in not bad even if the voice is a little more robotic than i would prefershe should have leaned more into the voice being more raven than robot though
>>42852693>>42853161Why is she so long?
>>42861665Dancing keeps her in shape
>>42862058>all the bugs are so skinny because their queen makes them dance at all times off screenmakes sense i guess
>>42862058>>42862709Playing just dance right now… wish I had a sweat absorbent changling nearby. Oh well.
>>42862919Careful what ya wish for....
>>42860646haha
>>42863103Meh, Thorax can take it up the ass. I meant a random ass drone.
>>42863895
>>42858706No matter how many times I see that comic I dont know how to feel about it
>>42864912I like the thin frail looking psycher bug
>>42864917It's important to have a diverse unit comp when facing off against pony armies
>>42862058Dance Dance Chyssi
>>42865265the seemingly strict standard of form could have possibly been the real fault in their ranks with the queen only allowing her armies to take on one shapemore than likely an decision put in place as an austerity measure given love shortages
>>42865602Queenie should have morphed more tanky bugs and spellcastersOr purchased upgrades at the evo chamber
>>42864131Much better.
>>42865928like two or three massive bugs in the canterlot castle would have totally helped in her first invasion
>>42864912>>42865928>>42865265What different castes/subtypes would a changeling hive have?Is it just the queen and her workers?
>>42866367It might also change depending on the hive in question
>>42866367>Is it just the queen and her workers?yes from what we are shown in the show to an extent in the the show there is obviously a proper armored and dedicated military with Pharynx being the last remnantive seen "behemoth" changelings in several art pieces as huge bruiser types on the battlefieldoff the top of my head i dont see much utility in other types of changelings being as every one of them is able to change to a creature of presumably any size they want on a whimperhaps dedicated magic users would be a reasonable back line to changelings that take on larger forms in battleand in a non militaristic sense drones could fill any task as their role in a hive would imply midwives, stewards for captured hosts, teachers maybe
>>42866627Ocellus can turn into a bug bear, they could just have a division of magically supercharged lings with a wide range of different transformations to work as special forces.
>>42866736"Changelings can actually turn into anything" is one of the worst parts of the late season garbage. It's not clear if they become as powerful as their chosen form but I think the gaynigger turns into a bear for a fight at some point which seems to imply it makes him stronger - which if so makes changelings absolutely overpowered since they could all just shapeshift into large powerful beasts for any battle.And even if not it makes no sense why changelings would have attacked Canterlot in default undisguised forms, because swarms of bugbears and manticores flooding the streets would have caused way more panic even if the disguised changelings weren't actually as powerful as the real monsters.
>>42838223She wouldn't poison them, I give her too many sloppy kisses, she's going to bake me nice cookies and blush with embarrassment from what a cute bugwife she knows she is & knowing how much sweet love I'm going to feed her cuddling up by the fire and putting up shitloads of lights so she can have Hearth's Warming too. Bugs love they lights.
>>42866812>>42866812Hence why I'm assuming it has something to do with love reserves.The ones at the Canterlot invasion would have been starving so they wouldn't have been able to do much of anything in the way of transformations. (Probably why they were slamming into the shield instead of infiltrating the city)Chrysalis transforming into larger creatures makes sence because she's a queen and should have large reserves.And i can only assume that ocellus is well fed due to skittlebug self love faggotry and probably also feeding on equestrians since she arived there.
>>42866827>Bugs love they lights.thats the one joke i wished they would have explicitly put in the show at least once(besides thorax liking the fire intended for ember that one time if you want to count that i guess)
>>42866812it could be reasoned that the fact that they hadnt taken wildly powerful forms speaks to the restraint of chrysalis in her invasionsthey were not in canterlot to raze it, they were there to pillage and capture if the m6 hadnt had their wayand >>42866870>The ones at the Canterlot invasion would have been starving so they wouldn't have been able to do much of anything in the way of transformations. (Probably why they were slamming into the shield instead of infiltrating the city)that toocould be alternatively that the regular bugs before they tasted the rainbow werent able to shift past anything pony sized and shaped under the control of chrysalis
>>42867208how uncouth for a queen to blush at such a scenario
>>42845594>>42847994>>42859697I am not kissing that bug.
>>42868851Fine, I'll kiss her for you then.
>>42868851Veri shamefurl
>>42869035>shamefurlI don't like this word.
>>42869037And that is the point, for you to feel grate shame
good morning bugfrens <3everybuggy feeling extra festive i presume?
>>42869643Fuck no, i hate the holidays.Chryssi makes them better though.
>>42869728bugmama does indeed make most all situations better though i do not understand some peoples animosity towards christmas time>that picmmmmmmmm i want some freaky mandible smooches under the mistletoe now
>>42870101I hate any and all holidays as my town is flooded with tourists around these times and i hate it.>Mandible smoochesHow bout now?

>>42873351Not sure what the words say, but going off that look shes got, its probably something along the lines of "caution, bug will fugg you."
>>42873370The button says "INSEMINATE". And she's looking at you and saying "Press."

The maredowell should have been a changeling and would have been a better introduction and motivation for a good changeling instead of thorax(Given that the maredowell episode were moved to season three ofc)

I wish I could wake up to this

Expect a new story tomorrow. Would anyone like a hint?

Alright, here's the story. It looks like I'll be able to write a story each thread, at this pace:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/582238/2/tall-tales-of-the-one-true-queen-and-her-many-children/gravid-gravitationsGravid GravitationsQueen Chrysalis was falling, not to her death, but to her embarrassment. She had woken up from a wonderful dream in which she’d turned all other living things—her changelings excepted—into nothing but their love, and then devoured them effortlessly. Her eyes had opened to remind her that, while her belly was so monstrously swollen with children it lifted the rest of her off the cold cave floor, she was still desperately, unyieldingly hungry; worse, that part of her body containing her consciousness and over which she had the most direct control, her thorax, had in her sleep become tilted towards the ground and was very slowly falling. Her wings had been unable to correct her predicament, and she was unwilling to waste precious energy merely to slow her descent, so she scowled at the ground as her head and forelegs got ever closer to it. Despite being so pregnant so often, she still had instincts which at first had told her to push herself away from the ground with her legs, and had tried in vain. Her legs had absolutely no leverage skewed as she was, and the rather large love reserves presently occupying her rump left her hindlegs nearly immobile, not that she’d have been able to return to her prior position using them anyway. All her pushing accomplished was pressing deeply into her belly, squishing her many children within as it reshaped around her forehooves. They, powerless, closed their eyes and squirmed under her motherly touch. Queen Chrysalis sighed. Despite its futility, she kept one foreleg jammed into her gut while her right brought its hoof to scratch at her face.
Her children would venture down into the chamber containing her soon enough to tend to her, she merely had to tolerate her situation until they would notice and move her back into an acceptable position. She was not so gravid that the act would require more than three or four of them at most, and she would likely deign to help them with her wings once airborne. The queen lifted her left foreleg, feeling an uncomfortable strain shooting through her back from her total lack of leverage, to look at the foals living in her body underneath it. It always delighted her to know they were strong enough to withstand the occasionally harsh forces in her body. Some of them had already returned to sleep, little limbs twitching according to irregular timing. She locked eyes with one who was still awake, and thought about his destiny. Hers was to create him and his siblings and so on. His, soon enough, would be to help her create his younger siblings, whether that would be by defending the hive or collecting the love that comprises them, both from lesser beings, or by helping her as his older siblings soon would. It was an honour to be her child, they knew, and she would make them repay the debt accrued by such inconveniences during their gestation.The pain in her back became too great, and she let her forelegs fall before her again, the ground annoyingly out of her hooves’ reach even as she sneered at it. The same pain spread through her neck, and she slammed it into her belly with a snort. She regretted not looking around the dark cave while she could still lift her head, not that it had changed in any way whatsoever; now she could only stare at her legs, gut, and the still-approaching ground. She couldn’t even see any of their faces deep within her body, only backs and rear ends. She could tell vaguely how she was moving along the floor through the movement of great pressure across her womb’s surface, and the sensation of cold against the stone floor that spread with it. Any sensation of relief across those sections of her womb newly spared from the floor was insignificant, as they were mostly numb in the present.Strain next met her hips. Her hindlegs no longer rested so closely against her maternity, and instead began to lift slowly as she descended and contorted. The queen wasn’t worried about the strain sending her into labour, but it still displeased her to feel aches and pain settling into the rear of her back. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore it. She would move her behind to stand on top of herself eventually, but that would hasten her fall and welcome in different suffering. She took a deep breath through her nostrils and slowly released it. Moments later, she furrowed her brow and grunted. She opened an eye. The ground was still out of her reach.
Already, Queen Chrysalis felt she’d been falling for much longer than she knew to be the case. Her grown children were on a fast schedule, and always met it, but she was angry at not doubling it earlier. With these newest children, and perhaps another batch, she would have enough around to warrant forcing one of them to stay down in the lowest part of the hive with her at all times, to prevent situations like this in the future. She looked at the ground again. Her forehooves hovered over it so very closely. The pain in her hips was now too great for her to ignore. Her hindlegs flailed and achieved naught but beating the rear side of her womb several times, until her left hindhoof managed to stake itself. This brought on a new pain, but the thin membrane trapped between hoof and foal had necessarily fewer nerves than her limbs and thorax. Queen Chrysalis sighed, this time at feeling minor relief. One hindleg dug into her body, and the other was still pointed away from her, trying to be still. The movement had cost her some time she could’ve spent falling, but not much.Her hoof touched the floor, and she began to bend her leg to best influence her future position. She’d managed to let her forelegs get trapped underneath her brood once, trapping her chin on the floor while nearly snapping her poor spine, and had been wary of letting it happen ever since. There was the possibility that she could end up trapped entirely upside-down and be forced to waste her magic reserves or smother, but that had never happened; a look of utter hatred with her multitude of fangs poking every which way, and spittle flying from between them after each breath, was twisted into her face while she imagined dying so pathetically, what would be said about her after such a scenario. She calmed down almost immediately and set her other hoof down as she bent her face back into its usual shape. She locked her legs in place, it took no energy, to buy herself time as she thought through her options. As she thought about her position, straddling her very body as if she had a broken wing and were trying to stop herself from falling down a chasm, she immediately realized she had none besides staying as still as possible and waiting.
Unfortunately for the queen, she could feel her rear continuing to move—it had passed her middle point—and start to bear down on her. She gradually lost her hoofing with her hindleg as it moved further away from her and closer at the same time. She now felt an ache spreading much more evenly throughout her entire back. She kept her forelegs locked, even as they skid along the floor collecting what little dust there was, but eventually she lost her hoofing with them too and yelped in a way unbefitting a queen. The front of her hard, black chest slammed into the ground—although it had travelled very little to reach it—and was the final part of her body to stop her falling. Her muzzle was flat against the floor. The queen snorted again, kicking up more dust and then coughing.Now Queen Chrysalis was deprived even of basking in her beauty. She couldn’t move her neck with her throat pressed as it was against the floor, and could see only her two forelegs pressed similarly. She felt her body pouring out along the floor behind her like molasses sealed in a very thin bag. The floor had been made smooth for her presence long ago, ensuring she wouldn’t pour out on the floor like such a bag that had been punctured. There was no threat to her life, merely a threat to her pride as she lay splayed there, rear hanging over her head she felt but couldn’t see. Queen Chrysalis quickly corrected her embarrassment by reminding herself of lesser beings: No pony could be so gravid as she, nor would any pony survive it even if it could; she felt soreness slowly coursing throughout her thorax, but a pony would’ve been killed by the contortions to which she was being subjected. Princess Celestia called her subjects “her little ponies” as a way of coping with her inability to birth so many loyal subjects, the queen knew. Ponies were easy fodder for fostering a sense of superiority, and she thought about the dragons for a moment: When they weren’t pets for ponies, they hated each other, their barren lands worthless for harvesting love. She smiled at the thought of a dragon being killed by her changelings like a cockatrice covered in ants.
She felt slightly less pressure on her stomach and other organs as her body continued settling *behind* her, and dug her hooves into the ground to get leverage for pushing herself upright as much as possible. The back of her head pressing into her rear was a good sign of her progress, and she kept pushing until she could see some of her womb’s wall underneath her chest. Her face was one large grin as she grit her teeth, some drool leaving her mouth to pool on the floor. It took all of the might she had—or all she was willing to give—to move herself barely at all; her shaking legs gave out and once again sent her to the ground with prolonged jiggling all around her, but she had been able to reposition her thorax well enough to keep her head off the floor, albeit with her rear still just behind it. She bent her leg backwards to rest her cheek against the bottom of her hoof and stared into the homely dark void of the cave. It would’ve been so much easier had she started falling backwards, with tree trunks to support her compared to the twigs sprouting from her front end. She could fall asleep like that with her hindlegs locked, resting on her gut much as she did otherwise, but not with that weight bearing down on her. Her body twisted painfully again as her rear started leaning to her left.Tapping could be heard in her containing chamber, boredom had brought her to tapping her free leg against the ground in a slow and queer rhythm. The queen wasn’t usually this bored. Even when waiting for her born children to wait on her, she usually had the unborn to bother as it suited her. She turned her head to her right to look at her very wide side. They were back to sleeping, most with their backs to her, and even she didn’t want to contort her foreleg far enough to poke them.Things were calm again, and she crossed her legs while she continued to wait. She slowly took a deep breath and quickly released it. She realized help would be unnecessary when she felt a pop deep inside, and then a foal ejected almost entirely outside of her body. The waters of her womb ran over her dock and down her back. Grimacing at the sensation with all of her usual flexibility spent elsewhere, she rotated her head on her neck to lock eyes with her foal, without her body in the way. She’d likely never seen this foal, considering he’d spent all of his life wedged in her hips. He stared in the distance with a blank expression, that of it that had exited her lips. She lit her horn and plucked him out, ignoring the foal that immediately took his place. She set him between her legs and started licking him clean.Love was love.
>>42878873LOL nice artThat strange pose makes for a great plot shot
>>42878882Very gravid, even if its not wholly drone themed
>>42879207>>42879670I'm glad you liked it. Since the file got deleted again, here are links to it:https://derpibooru.org/images/3729738https://derpibooru.org/images/3729759The second is a variant based on the ending, if you know what I mean.^:)
>>42879896how much did you pay for that thumbnail lol
>>42879909The base price was $70, plus half for the foals inside, for a cost of $105. I could've received the birthing variant for nothing, but I paid an extra $9 for it.I like it, this is a neat style, so the small size really looks quite good. It's the first time the file size of the image has been rivalled by the size of the story, kek.
can you guys believe it, buggswarming is only a week and a half away!!i trust you have all your gifts and love prepared for your favorite bugs, right?

Good morning bugfrens <3
changeling OCs with hair make me wanna puke
>>42883077Agreed. Dorsal fins look so much better.
>>42883383kek the hyperreal bug with lipstick is an entertaining and cute look
>>42883383Is that new?
>>42883530Thanks, Anon. At the time, I thought I'd try and draw some features of hers present in her 3D model- I suppose it worked to an extent.>>42883944No newer than the date in the filename, sadly. Usually when I work on her, it's her model that I can't share here because of >nohooves
>>42883077People who give changeling OCs hair and normal pony eyes are fake changeling fans, tourists... tourlings!
>>42884003>Usually when I work on her, it's her model that I can't share here because of >nohoovesYou could always catbox it, i love seeing art progress especially if its buggy and it looks good
>>42884202Noted. I suppose I could see about putting a collage together of some various WIPs. Been working on her hands a lot lately, and I've tried to make them pretty alien.
>>42884423I've seen you work on the model for years. What is even your endgame?
>>42884426I want to see how far I can get through the creation process by doing all aspects of it myself. It's been fun, even if I've found myself slacking at times.I'd like to do cutesy slice of life stuff with her, be it stills or goofy little short animations.Perhaps even one day I'll make a more generic changeling base out of her for others to use.>>42884423>collagehttps://files.catbox.moe/3p8f0d.jpg
>>42884520>collagesuper freaky lookin stuff i love itdo you have a regular buggo model planned as well?hope you post moar progress either way <3
>>42884520why are you making a nohooves anyway
>>42884665because hes an artist with teh free will to do so?
>>42884036IndeedIts disturbing, uncanny valley shit to see a bug with pony eyes
>>42885333tripsskittle bugs would have been half redeemed if they still had long fangs like that
>>42884644Yes, eventually. With any luck I can use parts of this model for a proper pony one.>>42884665>>42884939My love for boobs is on par with my love for ponies. I'll make sure her pony model has nice crotchtits when it happens.There's also a million more rigging/modelling tutorials for humanoids than there are quadrupeds.
>>42885710>I'll make sure her pony model has nice crotchtits when it happens.I appreciate boobs greatly as well and that is splendid to hear ^:)
wood (you)?>>42885213
>>42885963All those based anons who love their queen just the way she is
>>42886231To what end has they placed the queen there?
>>42886222>based anons who love their queen just the way she isim surprised to be quite honest also nice digits there
>>42885702I headcanon that they're retractable, like a snake's.
>>42837737She's so beautiful
>>42887183
>>42886222>>42886982But that would be an insult to her.
>>42887213>To love a changeling is to insult their nature.Hmm. I kinda see your point. So be it.
>>42887240No, the point is she's a master imitator and you're telling her "nah I don't care".
>>42887299After some thinking it appears that I care and don't at the same time. Not an unexpected conclusion.
>>42887070Kinda gross idea but would have been cute if skittlebugs still could bring out their fangsAnd retractable teeth made me think of toothless from httyd
>>42887893They fold, kind of like a pocket knife, and run the length of the mouth. That's how snakes work, anyway.Toothless has something else going on. they move straight out of the jaw, like a lipstick tube, or something.
>>42887952>They fold, kind of like a pocket knife, and run the length of the mouth. That's how snakes work, anyway.>Toothless has something else going on. they move straight out of the jaw, like a lipstick tube, or something.seeing either animated in the show would be creepy as fuck >somepony like sandbar asks ocellus where her fangs went when her species changed>she just laughs and opens her mouth to have her canines flick out with switchblade sfx>everypony is weirded out and she puts them away shyly
Changeling lore just gets weirder and weirder
>>42887186slow creaking sex with granny Chrysalis
>>42889405How's that?
>>42890136
>>42890136>>42890181Dork Chryssi makes me smile smile smileBy far one of the best chryssi in my opinion
>>42889405I don't like the comics explanation, I just like them being an obscure race that's always existed, that and their holes being natural, not an effect of Celestia blasting them into Chrysalis.
>>42890210>their holes being natural, not an effect of Celestia blasting them into Chrysalis.that always rubbed me the wrong way and ive attempted to memory hole idw's pants on head retarded writing ever since
>>42890210I've always headcanon'd that the comic explanation for the changelings' origin is just Chrysalis bullshitting Twilight.
>>42890610Believable given how much other bullshit and lies twilight was told during her rise to the throne
sleep sweet, buggy dreams hivefrens
>only three days away guys>can you believe it guys bugswarming is only three days away
>>42886626Maintenance.
>>42892063That still raises the question: what maintenance would a changeling queen even need?
>>42888463fuck hasbro for not having armored chryssi introduced earlier in the seriesits a travesty how little screen time she got
>>42887183I'll always love her
