>>43033439Fp as always bp
>>43033434Do you guys think bugs born on H&H are more powerful than normie bugs?
>>43033451Good setup for a main character >hatched on hearts and hooves day >in the middle of ponyville>supercharged as a result >possible future rival to the queen's power
>>43033528>possible future rival to the queen's powerA changeling's status as future queen should be based on whether or not she's born on H&H day. This way, Chryssi gets gifts for both it and her birthday separately!
>>43033439Funnily enough I wanted to use this pic for the op but I knew janni was going to nuke it eventually
>warm near the fire>winter will be wrapping up>and their love shall flow
>new thread, still not a bugwhen do i get to be the /bug/?its all that i ask for!
Get bugged!Here's one of the things Jack did for me. I'll let him post the full version tho.
>>43033951Patience is a virtue, brother the time isn't right, but hearts and hooves day is a powerful time for bugs
>>43033987Ooooooo super cute and clean piece of buggo art>I'll let him post the full version tho.I wish every booru upload of his art wasn't so massive lel
>>43034342I, too, often think of Chryssi's holes
>>43033557>This way, Chryssi gets gifts for both it and her birthday separately!That sounds like a self indulgently evil bit she would pull in the comics
>>43034344heh heh
>>43034342they wish to be hole again
>>43035199I didn't know the song Afternoon Delight until now, so reading the word "gonna" my mind immediately went for this being sung to the tune of "gonna paint your wagon". it sorta works, but it isn't a particularly fit tune for adultery music
>>43033434
>>43035355Made me lol Best music mashup I've heard in a while
>>43035493A day early, buggo
>>43036203Post og image
>>43036223you're lucky i could find it to begin with.
This was pretty greathttps://twibooru.org/3707792I liked the husked shining lel
>>43036600>Shining Armor eventually gets 1/4 of the hiveHeh.
I would like for her to know i love her for more than just her plot.Thats not to say it isn't nice though
My waifu is Luna but I'd send Buggy something nice for Heart and Hooves day
>>43037270something about the fruit appeals to themit is very strange
HAPPY HEARTS AND HOOVES DAY EVERYONE!!!I LOVE YOU!!!
>>43033434Don't feed your bug too much love this valentine's day <3

The queen got tired of mlp that she moved into a whole new world, a Palworld.
>>43038378>same horn notches no way that design was accidental
>>43038455Same lock of hair over the face, too. #myqueen
>>43033434>some cultural exchanges get lost in translation from time to timehappy hearts & hooves day
>>43038569With a slightly different shade of mane and she's perfect
You know you're curious, anon...
>>43039028Her tongue should be green.
>>43039037When it's down my throat it doesn't matter what color it is.
>>43039037Its prettier in green for sure but I prefer it red and forked like the showWonder if the color of it has any correlation to the color of her blood?
>>43039064That's fair.>>43039065The show should have made it green and forked in the first place, but this is the same show that dropped the voice effect later on. That was shitty of them.
>>43039065>>43039111And maybe. But the show avoided blood didn't it?
>>43039111>but this is the same show that dropped the voice effect later onall because they thought people would have trouble understanding what she was saying too, which was bullshit because she sounded perfectly fine
>>43039300>rape
>>43039111Czech'd digits>but this is the same show that dropped the voice effect later on. That was shitty of them.In fucken deed she used to sound so cool in her debut and it is a crime that they changed it>But the show avoided blood didn't it?Yeah they did and the first comparable thing with a funny colored tongue was a blue tongued skink but im pretty sure they have red bloodCan't think of any animal with non red blood and a strange colored tongue irl I dont think actual bugs have tongues?>>43039126>because they thought people would have trouble understanding what she was sayingBeyond lame
>long ago my heart and mind >got together and designed >the wonderful girl for me>oh what a fantasy....https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SRrwf6n3o3k
>>43039313What should have been.
>>43039126I had no issue understanding her back then and was kind of pissed off when she came back later with a normal voice. That was bullshit for sure.>>43039419I was about to say some bugs in games had green blood, but I was actually thinking of reptilians at the time so nevermind on that.Not sure if bugs have tongues either.
>>43036230>>43039028>>43039037>>43039064>>43039111>>43039625H O TOT
>>43039419>I dont think actual bugs have tongues?>>43039668>Not sure if bugs have tongues either.Dunno about true bugs, but bees, butterflies, moths and maybe wasps sure do.
>>43039794>butterflies>chryssi siphoning love directly from ponies with her straw tongue would have made her and bugs way scarier kek
Chrysalis will always be my special somebuggy.
>>43039794Cute
>>43039794Fluffy and cute. I wish I could hug a giant bee.
>>43040877We could always get beelings, but that'd take a while
>>43040877>>43040881wasps are coolermore dangerous and bitey than beesmore fitting for a ling
>>43041166I wouldn't mind her biting out my neck and killing me with those teeth
>>43039028You seen the old gif version of that?
>>43033434fuck im late
>>43039668its the little things like a bit of voice modulation that adds a lot to a character in the long runcutting little things like that from a show cheapens the experience overall
>i wonder sometimes>wonder if she could love me>if we met again?
Chryssi is so sweet!
>>43042880Oh no!
>>43042808saw that, quality wallpaper material
>FUCKIN HANGING PLANTS >I HATE PLANTS>RAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>>43043539Yeah, bug-types are super-effective against grass-types, but that's no reason to rip up the landscaping.
>>43043549ANY reason is a good reason to fuck up plants
>>43043539>>43043857But why? Plants are frens. Especially cacti.
>>43043897How did she lay eggs inside herself and why wasn't I invited to watch/participate?
>>43044013>How did she lay eggs inside herselfDon't underestimate magic, anon
>intimidating to WHAT enemies?
So, what say you /bug/fag?>>43044621
>>43044678Once sated, she'll burp politely and lurch away. You can't force feed love to changelings, at least not without some seriously soul-twisting dark magic. In rare cases where larvas are born without built-in limiters, they usually pop right in the cradle.
>>43044150thats not bugmama....
>>43044013>lay eggs inside herselfthat only makes me think of fucked up self impregnation i heard of before in nature
>>43044678The bug becomes big, that's what happens

Good morning bugfrens <3Had a bug dream but went back to sleep and forgot literally all of it
Went to sleep againDream this time was a discussion in a horse drawn carriage about whether or not a wood sandwich would be nourishing for a bug if a person loved the tree enough before you made it
>>43048469best buggu in bugguland
>>43047964just someones askblog chryssi being quirky
when was the last time (you) washed your buggo?
>>43049724Imagine the black washes off of her and it turns out she was always white
>>43049729And the whole hive is these pale semitransparent creatures like newborn roaches? An oddly satisfying idea.
>>43049729>>43049736Dunno about soap and water but they 100% look that way when they molt their shells
>>43050031cool wind waker chrysie
>>43050033she was the best of that image set
>>43047972Hes one of my favorite artists for his appreciation of bugmama
>>43046866kinda wanna write a song about tisdale now
>Have no and never had the desire to have children>Make up stories and fantasize about other people raising Changelings and how it would effect themWhat mental illness is this? Brood parasitism?
>>43050901surrogate desire, an externalization of your own hidden, and likely suppressed, natural desire for children
>>43050901its the subliminal changeling brainwashing that they've hidden throughout the show since the canterlot weddingYour mind has been molded to continue the hive from the start without you ever even knowing
>>43033439:3 > :|
>>43051829I mean I highly doubt most bugs would like having to deal with all that extra mass forced upon them that they have to carry all day now lel
>>43050901>and how it would effect themCan you elaborate? Off the top of my head, it's probably the same behavioral, hormonal and whatsnotal shifts as with having biological children. Maybe slightly worse because changelings have supernatural reasons to be clingy and may have supernatural means of reading you while acting on this clinginess, but mammalian children are hardwired to be clingy and astute as fuck, too. Magic or not, it's hard to beat them at this.>Find a cocooned horse bug egg in the attic of an old mansion>Fast forward twenty years of being a good parent>Work as a smuggler of medieval incunabula now because no interrogative satanic rituals of the Vatican secret police work on you anymore
>>43052221This one fic comes to mind about the queen brainwashing and manipulating a stallion to impregnate her and raise a grub as it slowly sucks all the life energy out of himI would imagine raising a changeling would take a good deal of restraint not to die while doing so but moreover I believe a non bug raising a bug would more than likely have some light mind control magic innately involvedLike an evolutionary trait they all have to avoid infant mortality much in the same way other baby creatures in nature have adaptations so they don't die young Like a baby deer having spots on its coat baby bugs influence other creatures to raise them when lost from their hive
>>43052644Now I imagine immature changelings in the hive accusing each other of involuntarily hypnotizing their bug caregivers, in the same way as human kids talk about wetting their beds.
>>43052221>>43052221>Can you elaborate?Yeah. Before I start I want to clarify that my favorite genre of fanfic is PoE/PiE so that's the setting I've created in my head. It's nothing as complex as what you suggested, just how certain events change their personalities. I'll explain using three/four characters I've created in my head, two of which I've posted in the thread before. None have names.>Egg laid around the time of the end of Chrysalis's rule>Due to all the drama, chaos, and negative emotions, many of the eggs laid/unhatched were damaged and deemed unsalvageable>Instead of getting the usual treatment they were surrendered to the US/Canadian governments for study in hopes they can do something>They of course share and get other countries involved >They eventually find a way and restored eggs are hatched and distributed by themNow enter our characters.Data Analyst:>Adopted by ponies>Is the youngest, including the the couples biological children>Had some trouble with her siblings and school here and there, but otherwise grew up happy and loved>As a result, she is bigger in size (closer in size to Changedlings who are bigger and stronger in my head) than the Changelings that are still with Chrysalis>Disguises mostly as a pony; only in her true form when alone and with familyPsy-Opped "Sisters":>secretly put aside for the US government to freely study and test on>One was used in two experiments, how do changeling transformations work, how long can they sustain it under pressure>Was asked to transform constantly, sometimes being asked to hold form while being exposed to extreme emotions and being starved>As a result, she developed identity issues>Is almost always in human form but if informed of the truth she'll breakdown, resulting in memory loss and changing her human appearance>Other than that she's normal>Was allowed to go to public school and be monitored >The other one was unknowingly subjected to psychological tests>Was let in on the experiments happening to other government hatched Changelings>Was encouraged to stay in her true form in public through positive reinforcement>Was raised to be patriotic >Was in public school with her "sister" and exposed to bullies and exposed to opposing world views>On her own, she opted to stay in human form at school>she would often "eat food" and expel it in private later >Became confrontational as a result>When the government deemed Changelings weren't useful for what they had in mind and shutdown the program, the pair's "dad" left her a note, revealing the true extent of the experiments, and advised them to join Chrysalis's changelings, and abandoned them>Despite this she still remains loyal, refusing to call Chrysalis queen (which most of the changelings still do despite her giving it up) and not divulging the letter's existence to her "sister">Doesn't get along with Changelings>Harbours some resent towards her "sister's" ignorance(1/2)
>>43052873Random lost egg:>A egg that was laid in the wild for some reason>Found by some random dude>Hatched >Instead of being abandoned is taken in>Some growing pains here and there >Goes to normal public school>Doesn't get along with others, no friends>Spends free time consuming media the random guy has laying around>Loves the comradery seen in military media and likes to play military >Random guy eventually takes notice of her lack of friends and thinks she might need to be around others like her>Move to where to where most of the remaining changelings are>is both fascinated and terrified of how media depicts hive species>Is particularly scared of the aliens that hijack peoples' bodies for conversion/biomass(2/2)Sorry for essay. I got lazy towards the end. I get new ideas a lot so nothing is permanent.
>what are (you) looking at?
>>43052873>>43052877You could fit them into a pretty good sounding fic honestlyI liked the idea of the twin experiment duo there
>>43053188lyin ass poni its funny every time when it bugmom
up
>>43053510 those extra big changelings weren't in the show right
>>43054285changelings weren't in the show enough to get development like that most we got of them getting big was the "mega evolution" we got to see like maybe three times
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/581989this bug story has been breddy gud so far considering all the setup it has given for what it's like to be a bug
>>43052873>advised them to join Chrysalis's changelingsOddly specific. What if she tried to live with the colorful ones?
>walk into the hive with nothing on but this shirtDo the bugs accept anon into their fold?
>>43055333Checked.I'm sure Chrysalis would be amused for a second but she'd assume Anon is infatuated with her and order him sucked dry of love and then she'd save him to cannibalize later.
>>43055349>cannibalize>anon came out of the portal to equestria as a king changeling>that explains how he's able to inexplicably be a faceless green Adonis >chrysalis has been hunting him since she learned of him so she could eat his head after >raping himlol
This day is going to be perfect....
>>43053719Thanks. I have a lot more Changeling/Changedling characters floating around in my head with a few ideas of what to do with them. Unfortunately, I'm really slow so I move at a glacier's pace. >>43054926In my head, they don't really live in one place. After the end of Chrysalis's rule, a "sudden" plague, and some scientific studies, they split up to do whatever they want. Some stay together, others leave for other countries, and etc. The only reason Changelings have a place all to themselves is because they're classified as an endangered species.
>>43055774>Unfortunately, I'm really slow so I move at a glacier's pace.And I am the same way kek I understand that feel>>43055961Beautifully made art but now I'm just kinda sad seeing them having to cheer up their bugmama
>>43051249>the heart is well known to be the love center of every creature in equestria>blended bunny hearts are supplemented for bugs so they don't have to do the whole life drain thing
she is by far the prettiest royal in all the land of equestria
>>43056880And the evilest. Why can't she stop being evil? Pretty please?
>>43057024You'd get rid of her best feature?! Shame!
>>43057024>making her lame and not evillegitimately shameful
>>43057042I would. As a matter of taste, I don't like evil all that much.Now that I'm thinking about it, it may have something to do with her profession, too. Evil scientists, evil prostitutes or evil milkmen can be somewhat entertaining. When it comes to evil bossmen, my mind goes "not fun at all, just kill it and get on with it" and shuts off.>>43057119On the other hand, the idea of getting swarmed by thousands of bugs who shame me for disliking evil is both hilarious and arousing.
>>43057145>both hilarious and arousing.It would probably be the hottest thing ever for like a minute before you get husked lel

>>43060411>>43060777nice numbers

>>43063275The best bug.
>>43062007What would be the niche for a changeling faction in battle or on the campaign?>they just get undercities from warhammer tacked on
>>43063275top left is my favorite.
>>43063275>>43063655Price has always known what's up
>>43049724it is important to wash your queen from time to time
>>43061056Don't even need a gun to ask for that, baby
>>43062954I imagined Crystal changelings being their natural form, losing their gems upon separation from the crystal empire and needing to steal love rather than gain it from the crystal heart itself
>>43063758Skaven mechanics definitely come to mind when thinking of how they'd translate. Especially with the green energy/magic they share aesthetically. Also easy to imagine changelings spontaneously appearing like the rats do.
>>43062721It feels like it'd be so easy to cook up (I say with no modding experience). Feels that way with pony mods in general, like we're just waiting for someone with enough tism.
>>43064977wut are you lookin at, with those dubs
>>43064891>just waiting for someone with enough tism.I mean yeah you could say that of literally anything lelAn ass load of work goes into making mods especially if its some wack shit engine that no one has worked on before

>10 bugs
>>43064882Ehhhhhhh i guess I see the parallel with them both being swarms Except one is airborne and and likes to dive bomb More scary that way eye em oh
>>43067724>entire faction is airborne in a total war gamenightmarishcertain races having aerial battle maps when engaging each other would be kino though>>43062007the thing is, each faction is gonna need a lot of thought out unit variety for a total war gameunless you are content with 10 different variants of spearmareii
>>43061286What did buggo see?.....
>>43067935Bugburgers or a Bugtendo Switch 2
>>43068168Why would changelings love me, and why would Chrysalis disapprove it? I don't know what's stranger.
>>43068183Perhaps they enjoy your cocky stride and musky odour.
Learn to spot the proper queen to burrito
>>43068876>Best burrito is spicySpicbros can't stop winning
>>43068183>why would Chrysalis disapprove it?At least for me I could only assume it would be an overload of love upon contactIts a real liability for drones in the field
>>43067751>certain races having aerial battle maps when engaging each other would be kino thoughThe changeling swarm invading griffonstone would be super kino
buzzz
>>43066860The honey hive color scheme is the perfect fit for bugs besides the standard
>>43069975It almost feels gross in a way but also very pretty.
>>43069980>almost feels gross in a way but also very pretty.as I said, fitting for them lol
Pony disguises made up by changelings should always have bug themed cutie marks as a like a universal rule Mainly because they have in the show (excluding crystal hoof's cutiemark of course)
Do you think Changelings (excluding Chrysalis) would sing instead of just mimicking a specific singer?
>>43070362not much utility in a drone singing unless they're trying to uphold the facade of being a singerrainbow bugs are a different story, obviously displaying interests in arts and crafts and dancing i don't doubt singing is far off its more of a pony thing and it could be argued that chrysalis had picked it up as a side effect of spending too much time around ponies as a princessnow that I think of it bugs coming back to the hive with interests in singing after spending time disguised as ponies isn't beyond belief could even be seen as a mental defect amongst drones having some inadvertently develop interests in pony past times
>>43069980Pizza queenHer mane is cheese
>>43070302It can't be good for their sneakyness. But I can imagine it being one of the evolutionary glitches that aspiring infiltrators famously spend years of training to overcome. If the mean sticks episode was aired in Equestria as a fictional cartoon, bugs in the cinema hall would figure out that Chrysalis is losing her marbles long before ponies watching the same movie would get a chance to arrive at this conclusion. "What do you mean "twist insanity"? There was a big red beetle on her butt in the very first scene!">>43070362They make cicada noises. Voiced singing is gross.
>The changeling hive never got a musical number in the show
>>43070766>His hearing was too shit to pick up on the subsonic frequencies making up the MULTIPLE changeling songs in the show
>>43033451*chew*
>>43071289>Changelings are just as destructive to one's household as cats are
>>43071340Hard coded into their genetic memory to put holes into things round themNot their fault ya know
>>43071352>Changelings don't use their horns for magic >They use them to poke holes into everything they seeKino!
>>43071340They are being proactive lil workers by putting holes in socks and everything in advance. So helpful.
>>43070537>But I can imagine it being one of the evolutionary glitches that aspiring infiltrators famously spend years of training to overcomeNot a glitch but purposeful evolutionary design Giving bugs an innate incentive to steal the identities of existing creatures to blend in to their environment better instead of just making up their own>>43071360Without even knowing it they're constantly trying to make a new have no matter where they go, putting holes in thingsAn instinct obviously lost when they turned into skittlebugs
>>43071524>changeling RETVRN posters take normal images and shoop holes into them with the words "Remember what they took from you" overlayed onto the image
https://twibooru.org/3719148green is my favorite color ^:)
>>43071289>what a beautiful bugwang
>>43070766It would have been a chryssi centric song Don't think Ingram wrote a lot of songs sung by characters without names lol
>>43045436art like this makes me sad :(
>>43071664plastering literal posters on walls in a more urbanized pony area would be an unconventional mode of communication if a hivemind isn't a reality and bug to bug contact is risky>put posters up everywhere in high traffic areas with messages for embedded changelings>they are regularly taken down by pony cleaners in the city>replace them in the night whenever new orders are to be distributed
>>43073076>equus calling with friends from griffonstone>the diamond dog barks at midnight>molasses tomorrow will bring forth cider>the long sobs of the violins fill my heart with monotonous love>and now hoofhoven's fifth symphony...
>>43072845It's okay buggo is fine
Would you eat the bug queen pudding?
>three new bugmama videos posted so close togetheryou love to see ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3qxB0htCUohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKeaANxTuWchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUfoVqy4aHA
>>43073677Key lime pie yogurt is one of my favorite things ever and I think she would probably taste the same
>>43073677>Beetle LimeI want to drink Chryssi's beetle lime juice
>>43074033All bug secretions taste like lime sotbet
>>43073088I was lying in bed this morning daydreaming about expanding on the ideaMaybe not as on the nose as those phrases but posters copied magically that would blend in with the mundane ones around them with some words changedPossibly with certain words and letters corresponding to a cypher all bugs in the city are supplied with
>>43074266Changeling goo is actually a prized delicacy in Equestria.
>>43074861Bullshit. Celestia would eat herself out of the cocoon both times if that was true.
>>43074912>implying the goo doesn't need to be processed before its eatenYeah man go suck some sap out of a maple tree and tell me how good it is lmao
Is it spring time yet?
>>43070838where did you find this picture of me?....
>>43075250Almost
Is she the strongest?
Only if you love her.
>>43075701Given she has (you)r love to conquer, yes
UH CHRYSALIS BROS Whats with the pig??
>>43076328Saw some say it was slopgen'd, something about it was off.
>>43076328>>43076367I think it was the part where she was eating the cake. I sure as shit wouldn't want to animate that, but it looks like ass regardless.
>>43076328I'd pork her if you know what I mean.
>>43076368It is unfortunate to see, especially in a bugmama animation
>>43076507
>>43076583Whaaa...
>>43076773I would give everything in my life to get that look from her
>>43076583Strange art but very in character lel
>grass under my hooves>wind kisses my open wings>love escapes my heart
>>43077794D) All of the above
>>43076368i wanna hold a bug like that
>>43070977I feel bad for the people that can't hear the non verbal songs they sing
skittlebugs should have all been whitepurity and good will would have been a nice motif
>>43073677>random small chance for the candyass ones to be lime flavor
>>43078780If only there was a little more love in the world
>>43079353I don't think Chryssi wants love more than she wants conquest...
>>43079365With conquest comes more love than a hive could ever imagine
Reminder that bugs don't get depressed
>>43079683If only there was a way to cure bug melancholy
>>43079906There already is a cure, its called Y O U R L O V E
>>43079365>that picWasnt she already in the dome when it was put up?
>>43080175We mammals can be satiated and unhappy at the same time. Is it different for roach people?
>>43080681They are parasites and by nature absorb all their emotion from outside sources and feel them based on what they getDifferent emotions are filling in different ways so yesLove is the cure all for a bug that is unhappy and hungry
>>43080857Huh. And how many suicidally depressed orphan foals do I need in order to genocide an average-sized hive?
>>43080873It can only be assumed that ponies in cocoons can be kept through magical means and harvested until they dieTo kill a hive like that would not take long given a steady supply of toxic emotions spread throughout the hive as their only emotional supply of sustenance Finding healthy hosts with loving families to harvest off would be easier to hunt down and cultivate than keeping any unfit hosts at all
>>43080873>>43081026What if they take the orphan foals and put them in a cocoon that lets them experience the fantasy of having parents? Imagine the wealth of love it would produce
>>43081089Viable and possibly even an avenue of love production already in placeBut you could still more than likely get marginally the same love production from a normal pony under the same brainwash magic
>>43081026>>43081089I imagined a relatively simple setup where you siege the hive and surround it with sad orphans from the outside, on the land you control. It would be more complicated to devise an effective trojan horse strategy. What emotion wouldn't leave them a chance to respond? Wonderlust? The feeling of having too many responsibilities? Is learned helplessness an emotion?
>>43081127Surround them with child soldiers taught only to hate. The bugs will rip eachother apart before they even know what's happening
>>43081127>>43081241>orphan slavery run by child slave soldiers becomes the new tactic to wipe out a hive before they even invadeoh god oh fuck my sides its like nuking japan a third time
>>43079906I'd give that sad bug a hugmaybe a fug
given the chance as a bug i would make the worst ponies imaginable
>>43075692dont think ive ever seen anyone go to the beach in the spring lel
>>43082731If Chrysalis WERE to actually cry, how would (You) make her stop, anons?
>>43083195Hold her close until she cries it out
>>43076967da queen rooka so asian here
>hello fellow ponies!>how are we doing today?!
>>43045436being a bug is all about dodging swatters
>>43084028UmmmmmWho's gonna tell her?
>>43083206Realistically the only way to help someone who's cryingGive them a shoulder to cry on and let them cry
>>43070537>cicada noisesgross lmao
>>43059924Check out the Reliquus mod for rusted warfare. It has playable changelings.
would it be cold or hot inside the hive?
>>43083182
>>43084997They keep it chilly so that you'll be more open to bug cuddles
>>43084028She's got a hell of a butt
>another bug dream>I get into the bug arcade >all the claw machine prizes suck >I win a couple bags of chips anyway>the old bug is closing the empty arcade as someone in the parking lot is getting towed>crawling through tunnels on my belly with my prizes to get out>riding on the river on a raft>getting attacked by a bird>someone telling me to hit it with a pixie stick to see what the gears in its eyes say>keep falling off the raft, the holes make if hard to swim
>>43084997It's basically a giant freezer for stolen ponies.
>>43085524Makes more sense, cold air to slow down their bodies in the pods
>>43085415Hive mother hips, budPride of the hive
get bugtiled
>>43086503Ohhhhh damn new wallpaper getGot any more new jack buggos?
Good morning hive <3
>>43085983She looks....FUN!
>>43087569>rara is the pony tasked with chryssi's reformation the dresses for the queen would be beautiful
>>43087640But what if she could care less?
>>43087970>element of generosity >vs>the most greedy self serving queen in equestria She would crack eventuallyMaybe not by going skittlebug but she would eventually learn to keep friends that make her better and stronger
>>43087970Chryssi'll care when she senses how much Anon likes her in clothes
>>43088230Little fucker has no right being that cute
>>43088376This was one of the things that came to mind when the game was making the rounds. Particularly because some fanfics play up the Changeling invasion as full blown apocalypse that result in the complete or near annihilation of Equestria/ponykind, which is a similar situation similar to the game. The fact that she doesn't even bother to disguise herself makes me feel like she is taunting whoever is behind the door.
>>43088526>complete or near annihilation of Equestria/ponykindThat seems counterproductive for changelings
I remember talk of taking love from inanimate objects in the thread some time agoCan't remember if the method was brought up at the time but this fic reminded me of ithttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/485956/11/theyre-everywhere/156-387-5One of the bugs told a campfire story of a queen with acid venom that could melt non living things to absorb the love from themMade me wonder to the viability of that strategy, melting things that creatures loved to steal that love for themselves as opposed to taking ponies and cocooning them
>>43033434what is their policy on taking love from foals?
>>43089340Some of them aren't bothered by it...
>>43088376I'd let her in...
>>43089348>bugs that only predate fillies and colts looking for lost family membersSpooky thought
Thoughts on freaky bug set?https://www.fimfiction.net/story/321591
>>43088796Don't locust swarms do something like that?
>>43088526>tauntingOr maybe trying to entice
>coming to a small pony town near you, some day soon.....
>>43090079Mainly because they're brainless insectsEquestria can thank God that the changeling swarm at the very least has the higher brain function to not reproduce like crazy and sweep the land raiding every pony settlement they see
do (you) use buggy wallpapers? and if so do you mind sharing?i am in need of more
>>43091764Me on the right.
>>43088211I do love a pretty mare in a pretty dress
I wish I hadn't saved this
>>43092364I don't get it
>>43092366I think its supposed to be funny?
>>43093375She's so cute when she's not trying to be seductive or terrifying
>>43088376>the movie let the right one in but its a colt harboring a changeling nymphWould be a good fic
>>43094109Probably the saddest part of his debutThat he didn't actually get to sing his own song
Armored bugs are cuter than normal onesPost armored buggs
>>43093375>>43093440it is hard to not love the queen of love herself
>>43094490But wouldn't armor interfere with their shapeshifting?
>>43095201Not if its the hive guard armor from the showAnd minor accent apparel isn't out of the realm of possibility to make for a disguise either
>>43095867I love how angular and sharp her design is lel
>>43095239That sure is one way to change em back
>>43084714Is that recent?
Thoughts on Chinese chryssi?I like the kirin looking tail, makes her look more alien
>>43097445>Chinese Chryssi>all the drones have to become doctors
>>43097646I don't get it.
>>43097668>-1000000 Hive Credit Score
>>43097945How much cred do I need to buy a changeling?
>>43097999¢999999
>>43097945Do (you) have enough hive credit to see the Chinese queen in her brood form?
>>43098346I know I shouldn't stick my dick in there, HOWEVER.
>>43098351you know she's asking for it
>>43098723why is she so crusty lookin?
>>43099162Changlings lose pixels as they get hungrier. It's like fat on humans.
...
>>43099519What's this supposed to mean
>>43099968"Hello, your husband raped our nest, and we fucked him up"
but what if the bug was big bug?
>>43100499It's gotta take a lot of love to make bugs that big
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k2VLa3RP0w4>there are some things you never forget>like changeling eyes shining in the lowlights of a slow dance>softly glowing like the hoof-cut gems of her dress>every part of her sparkled when the light hit her right swaying to the music>and the soft shy smile she gives when you meet those beautiful sapphire eyes>it makes you smile back >knowing she can feel your love for her without a word
>>43100881Not exactly a challenge given a dedicated someone to supply it
>trapped there by friendship>mother's face of wrath in stone>waiting to be free
>>43102088>Mr. Cake is actually bugDon't think I've heard that one
>>43102118>He doesn't know that half the ponies on the show were actually changelings
>>43102118Its plausible at the very least>situated in the center of ponyville>loving family to provide for her>countless ponies that love her come through probably hourly>more than likely will never draw attention being the sweet pillar of the community she isIts about as stealthy as a bug can getAnother good hidden bug from the start along the same lines would be mayor mare
>>43102680which ones specifically?
>>43102088God i wish that were me
Is caffeine bad for bug?
>>43104069yeah
>>43104476>But if you close your eyes
>>43104120Real question is can they get addicted to it, and further, get addicted to love?
>>43105002>spoilerYeah man, it's just like that air addiction you got going on
>>43104120Were there different persistent patterns of wrongness with different drugs, or did they just take one picture of each and call it a day? And why, for the love of god, is that one LSD thread flying in the air?
>>43105329There are multiple different photos/images of this and they all point to a single "NASA study" but it all seems like bullshit.
>>43105006Nahhhh people can get addicted to binge eating
>>43105448It's ok when bugs do it>>43037897
>>43039064The flavor is different tho.
>>43105456Its okay to an extent, yes
>>43105779How disgusting
>>43105788As I said, there is a limit
>>43105507The color can't have that much if an affect on the tasteFeel like whats on it that changes the taste
>>43105788GIWTWM
ALL FAGBUGS DESERVE A ONE WAY ROCKET TRIP TO THE SUN!!!!
Have changelings always lived in the desert badlands?
>>43106806Every two thousands years changelings spontaneously go locust and devour everything down to fine sand. Nobody knows what sinister biological or cosmic force causes these cycles. What's now known as badlands still needs three or four centuries to recover from the last time and become a beautiful forest again.
>>43106451do not the fagbugs
>>43107010I feel like it would be a skyim situation Trying to stop a cycle that destroys this world for a fresh new one to be born in its placeLike there has to be some awful cosmic consequences that come with stopping a cycle that is meant to refresh a realm like thatAn uphill battle with a turbo pissed changeling queen that lasts longer than the cycle itself?A breakdown of the natural processes of the world itself?
I am not ready for cosmic evil changelings
>>43107314TOTALSKITTLEBUGDEATH
bug up
>>43046866lel heres the other pic that goes with that
i wanted to start with her eyes to see how it would turn outthe only thing im worried about is making her look good without making her plot massive
>>43107855>feeding in an unconventional way for living creatures >camouflaging as creatures around them to better acquire sustenance instead of outright attack>living in an out of place looking spire in the middle of a barren wastelandThey may well already be cosmic evilPossibly unaware invaders from another reality with a stunted mode of expansion, in their original reality being the dominant species ruling the food chain amongst other emotion consuming creatures while being poorly equip to conquer against friendship magic and the ponies that wield it
>>43106806Think they were from a swamp in the IDW backstory Believe that if you wish
>>43107855The more I think about, the more I realize they are like the Typhon from Prey 2017. The biggest difference being they feed on love instead of thoughts.
>>43109446Well that's not exactly a comforting idea
>>43109446You know the guy who did fallout equestria also made a not too bad prey crossover fic?https://www.fimfiction.net/story/462871But same, same between the typhon and bugsEven in their communication to their hosts being too late in the end>>43109743>comfortinglol unspeakable alien horrors aren't meant to be comfy
>>43108508Me on the left
https://twibooru.org/3733325>empty vessels need to be filled~
I think bug mama and green rarity would be best friends
>>43110714why she swiss cheese
>>43110303I'd be too afraid her ass would shatter like glass
>bug dream just now>in the pov format style of a local news channel reporting >a young mother changeling sick and with a nymph forced to stay in a burning apartment building with her child>those on the ground below and around her supporting her as the fire spreads to her apt>pov switched to on the roof top before the end>crawling on ceilings of stairwells up and down through crowds while the fire continues upwards >looking down from the roof above to the ground below at the burning trees near the building and the rising flames coming out windowsprobably the saddest and scariest vivid dream involving bugs recently and I wasn't even drinking beforehand
Do changelings do st patricks day celebrations? Or the pony equivalent?
>>43111255Silly anon, don't you know every holiday is devoted to worshipping Chrysalis and Chrysalis only?
>>43111255>>43111317I would celebrate St. Chrysalis Day
>>43111704>>43111317Is the celebration still cider based?
>>43111317>the tradition of ponies gathering to celebrate anything at all has been a several thousand year in the making psyop to help embedded bugs and their queen feed more easily hilarious and believable changeling conspiracy theory
>>43110791You sayin Swiss isnt tasty?
>>43111800I sure hope so!
Need more fics with Pharynx as a chick https://www.fimfiction.net/story/583136Might have to write one now

Does spring even get to badlands desert type areas like the hive?

>>43120896Something about spring?
>>43120896>>43120911Changeling Easter?
>>43121146I don't think I'd want to touch changeling Easter eggs
>>43121151Gay
>>43121146Think I could do thatwould make the op this pic if this wasn't a blue boardhttps://twibooru.org/3190453>>43121151>after their queen disappeared something changed in them>instead of making clutches to be watched over and hatched by the queen they are compelled by broken pheromone signals to lay their eggs in random spots around the hive>now every spring they have to go around with baskets collecting rainbow colored skittlebug eggsThey probably made it a new holiday inviting friends from all across equestria to help
I'm going to post non-changelings in this thread, and you can't stop me.
>>43121814yeah totally not changelings, just like hugh mann
>>43121814>Chinese food served by totally not at all changelingsI would go there every dayHell I would ask for an application
>>43120307If I knew the artist I could say for sureDon't mind the basic coloring like that though, reminds me of an old EC comics panelNow that would be sick, something like a weird science comic centered around the bugs and their ways
>>43121814>skittlebug stew
