>>43127741At some point I went back and counted how many threads actually had the on going title of /bug/ in the archive and added it to the on going thread number since its revival at the time Someone mentioned it being weird that I counted all of them into the number before the threads revival as a general so I decided to go back and fourth from that point onSwitching the number from the at the time revival number and the total actual archival numberIt effectively makes every thread have two numbers at the same timeThis threads number is both 21 and 61unrelated but does anyone else know what the original of this meme looks like?I had it saved in like 2014 lel

>>43131236I like the bug-abdomen. It works better than the wing-tail the show went with.
>>43140597I bit more sexual dimorphism once they went rainbow would have made sense and been nice to seeWith the hormones and pheromones of their bodies unlocked they're finally able to reach their true forms

So like....is she dead or in suspended animation, unable to move to can see and hear everything
>>43150274>in suspended animationShe is frozen in time like that until her eventual release yes, outright killing villains isnt something ponies usually like to doI would imagine if she had sufficient power stored up when she was turned to stone she could see the outside world but in the drained state she was in it is not likely (Not to mention not being able to see and hear is probably a gift when youre sealed in stone for seemingly all time)

Feel like if the writers had free rein over the shows direction they would have killed thorax in the finale making him a martyr for the other bugs in the hive Would have lead to a bigger pushback of bugs not wanting to turn into changedlings than just his brother in the aftermath of that finale

What does she do with all these giant novelty hearts?
Alright, here's the third chapter in "Tall Tales of the One True Queen and Her Many Children":https://www.fimfiction.net/story/582238/3/tall-tales-of-the-one-true-queen-and-her-many-children/alien-affectationsHere are booru links to the featureless and full version respectively:https://derpibooru.org/images/3796846https://twibooru.org/3748009https://ponybooru.org/images/4014340https://ponerpics.org/images/7477174https://derpibooru.org/images/3796857https://twibooru.org/3748017https://ponybooru.org/images/4014341https://ponerpics.org/images/7477183Here's the story:Alien AffectationsQueen Chrysalis took a deep breath and enjoyed how her lungs found room to fill completely; she closed her eyes in satisfaction as she exhaled. She furthermore enjoyed the ability to walk freely throughout the hive with a smaller pregnancy hanging from her rather than the inverse. The uniform tunnel stretched before her into pure blackness reminiscent of her onyx exterior; her width nearly occupied the entire tunnel, while her horn occasionally scraped the top. She frowned at that—it had been more than tall enough, before the material resettled more than expected—but refused to lower her head. She smirked just a little as her children walking in the opposite direction were squeezed into the walls by her wide side—which formed around them rather smoothly except for the smaller bodies stuck inside and between—and at those who weren’t by choosing instead to crawl along the walls when they could, all silently. The hive was deadly silent, as it should be, which made it all the easier for her long ears to hear a pony starting to cry.She smiled. The chamber containing him was open, and she had been regally waddling that way already. She peeked inside with her long neck, only her grinning head with glowing wide eyes and dripping fangs visible to him. Her appearance was made for fear, she’d elongated and sharpened her fangs just then for the purpose, but his back was turned to her and she frowned; her eyes dimmed and her features softened as the magic faded. She chose instead to observe him for a few minutes, eyes blinking in sequence rather than together. He was babbling, as ponies always did in the hive, using foreign words, some of which she recognized.“My family... I’m never going to see my family again.” He was whispering to himself, and his words were regularly interrupted by stronger gasps, as if he were struggling to breathe. She heard other words, such as “friend” and “home,” but none that particularly interested her, like “sex” and “love.” It occurred to her that she knew what these words meant, the hive had an Equestrian dictionary, but they held little value to her. The queen had no need for friends, and “family” was *redundant*.
A changeling foal peeked over the stallion’s side and stared into her eyes, unblinking until yawning and returning to sleep, or feeding—the queen couldn’t tell which. The foal seemed to be healthy, carving the grin back into her face. Words were such useless things to her; it delighted her well beyond words to see the stallion caring for her son—his too, not that he mattered. Her breathing was shallow and quiet, but it stopped completely to better hear what he did next.She watched him bring the foal closer to his face, and he shuddered again before whispering to him. “I-I guess you’re my only family now.” Queen Chrysalis’ grin grew even wider, revealing clearly every tooth in her mouth. She nearly wanted to say something, to congratulate them on their strong bond, but knew she shouldn’t. Regardless, the entrance to the chamber holding them was too narrow for her to fit, and she wouldn’t waste magic on something so meaningless. He would walk to her when she wanted him, which would be some time later.She continued walking through the tunnel, which eventually featured a hard turn. Many tunnels in the hive were circuits, lacking a beginning and ending, but not all of them. The crying of the stallion kept repeating in her head, keeping a satisfied smile on her face. It occurred to the queen that she would more effectively infiltrate equine society if she better mimicked their queer behaviour, and that she should make an effort to practice. She turned her head to look at one of her children squirming inside her womb; they would not suffice for this. That decided, she walked through the illusory bend to put herself in a terminal route. Some walls in the hive were truly doors, some slid aside as packed rock, and the most important were other changelings, but the wall through which her head slid first was purely light bent by magic. Captured ponies so rarely tried to explore the hive and were easily beaten when caught; it wasn’t worth wasting magic on a true barrier when a changeling escort worked well enough to keep anypony unaware and outside.
Her long forelegs stepped through next along with the front of her thorax, and she looked back again as her middle was stuck in the passageway. Her forelegs twisted and bent to grab the sides of the tunnel; spit flew from between her gritted fangs to splatter on the floor; and she soon enough even had her hindlegs lifted to hold the sides of the outer tunnel instinctually, though she knew that but weakened her position. Many moments of struggle passed, she held herself still to listen. Her motherly form inconvenienced her, but instinct too reminded her that she was above struggling alone. She heard one of her children walking towards her; certain was she that he wouldn’t pass by his queen burdened and stuck, that had *never* happened, but better to give him no chance for it to cross his mind. She waited, and one of her hindlegs twisted further to drape over his back and drag him underneath her. She let that hindleg return to the ground while the other stayed stuck in the wall, and waited with a satisfied smile.Said smile soured a little as she felt him clumsily pushing her belly, accomplishing nothing but surrounding himself with her body. His hooves soon enough found her rear to push, it felt like he may have been particularly short, but she cared not to twist her head and peek through the magic veil to see. He may have been particularly stupid also, as she felt him add his head to the pushing without much thought to where his horn was poking. She started to sneer looking back, but then she budged. Her askew hindleg became wedged between her gut and the passageway, and she used it as a lever. She didn’t look back at her child when she made it through the passageway.The tunnel expanded into a large room with crystalline light stabbed into the ceiling. Jagged rocks filled with holes shot out from the floor. She looked at the shadows in every direction, to see eyes made in her image, made in her body, looking back at her; she focussed on none of them, only on the center of the room: A recent brood lay on the floor by itself. The foals before her were larger than those inside—larger than her head, but not by much—and much smaller than their grown siblings overseeing them. They were too young to do anything useful, she thought, but now she would see.Many of them slept, but those fewer bothering each other turned towards her as she lumbered closer. The queen decided it would be easier to sit than to stand—there were plenty of her grown children nearby to help her rise—and found a smoother rock that would support her weight. She nearly dropped her rear to the floor without looking, but swept her magic back-and-forth at her hindhooves, knocking a few of her children out of the way, and grabbing one who refused to be moved. She brought the child before her face; they stared at each other, she amused at his total ignorance to his near-death underneath her.
She locked her hindlegs, not that they could bend forward much with her unborn brood in the way, and slowly tilted herself backwards. Her forelegs left the floor first, then her gut as it slid along the ground; slowly she lifted, and quickly she fell, with a loud boom echoing throughout the room. Momentum left her sprawled and her withers collided with the rock, leaving her sitting somewhat upright; she grunted not from that but the many moments of feeling her womb’s contents shift and settle. The foal held in her magical grasp had been still and silent while keeping roughly the same distance from her head throughout her movement. They locked eyes again, and she let her hold around him dissipate. He landed buttfirst on her giant womb—she had dropped him without concern for his siblings underneath, who could only close their eyes if they even anticipated it—and the waters of her womb made waves carrying him up-and-down many times before she was mostly still once again.She saw in her peripheral vision more of the foals taking notice of her—some newly awoken, others leaving their places chewing new holes and edges into the jagged rocks to crawl towards her. She locked eyes with the foal sitting on her again, who stared back in turn with his hoof in his mouth—an instinct the queen had never found sensible, for she never breastfed her children, beyond infiltration through replacement of foal with foal, rare nowadays. She practiced a few loving phrases on the foal, telling him she could just eat him up—a confusing lie, since he was far too big to swallow—and making other noises she knew mares to make towards their foals. The foal removed his hoof and smiled before reaching out to touch her nose with it. She smiled back.Another foal walked to her side before sitting down and tilting his head in confusion at the cramped little faces staring back. Along with the faces he saw a mass of every other body part jutted up against every other. Closest was a foal curled up on the outer layer, and he put his hoof over him before pressing in deeply, enough to make him rock back-and-forth. He noticed the foals like him but inside her belly were smaller, with his hoof so close to them, increasing his interest. The little bodies inside squirmed against each other, but he noticed they didn’t move away from his like his other siblings sometimes did, so he figured they too wanted to play. The unborn got reprieve when he tilted his head so much in trying to match the upside-down heads looking back in impotent anger that he fell over himself and rolled onto his back, which had him matching a foal whose upside-down head was visible and every other part of his body indistinguishable from the other bodies surrounding him.
A third foal approached her head, and she took attention away from the one on her to look at him. She was aware ponies would sit down and raise their forelegs at their parents, wordlessly asking to be lifted; she was glad to see her child take a more active approach, rearing and trying to scale her body to sit with the other now also looking at him. She set her forehoof between his legs and pushed him up. She watched the two watch each other, and felt their attention shift downwards at a leg trying and failing to shove them off its owner. Now their attention was solely towards their siblings and they had no issues poking back in curiosity.She nearly forgot her purpose on her back in the room. She gently grabbed the first foal’s head and brought it close enough for her to nuzzle. She decided she was very good at caring for others, and would consider a caretaker’s role if she were to infiltrate the ponies’ society again.The queen could feel the jealous seething of the many grown eyes watching her shower love on the younger now surrounding her. They would help her stand later, and she would perhaps share some affection during. She smiled at the beauty of the situation: A mass of her changelings watched her, with a swarm of those younger on and against her, themselves giving her their full attention directly or at the brood within her. A swarm of changelings watched a swarm of changelings watched a swarm of changelings, and she was in the center of every swarm, as it should be.

>>43165694What?You gonna not trust your queen or something?
I like it when the bug is extra scaryLike when they look like they could kill me in an instant
>>43166564It's just a cat. I mean, people like violent and murderous things like cats and monsters and action heroines, it's never strange or wrong to want to pet something like that. But it's not very bug-specific.I grew up in a place heavily infested by roaches, and you know how they give you these weird little startles? Like, they don't look scary, they don't mean any harm, but you notice one of them in the corner of your eye, and there's this extremely specific feeling of an electric discharge in the back of your neck. Z-zap! I coundn't train myself to react this way to pictures of changelings yet, but I like to imagine they evoke this involuntary reaction in ponies. Especially when bugs are honestly trying to be friendly.
>>43166206But... It's just not right!
>>43133274LOL
>>43166626I would imagine a pony reaction to a changeling would be more drastic than seeing an insect skitter in the corner of your eye lolThe primal lizard brain reaction to something large and alien moving fast probably overrides whatever reaction there is for something tiny and alien thats moving fast even if they share some of the same characteristics Still i get what you mean but its probably impossible to switch the base reaction for the two in your brain unless you lived around changelings the size of roaches constantly hiding everywhere all your lifeOne thing I've been trying to desensitize myself to is the sound of their wings, it still fucks with me

>>43170882Why wouldn't th3 queen want love from anon for the hive?
>>43159462nice new wallpaper material thnx
Anyone know if this is meant to be referencing a specific album cover?
>>43171437They can take Anon's affection, but they're not supposed to love him back
>>43172966is this pic pony propaganda? what a backwards way to show the queen, teaching her children wrong
>>43173393Ponies not only like to, but want to be scared. They love their scary butt fun.
>>43166865Every other guardsmare. Literally any batpony. Flavors of the day like sneks or wasps, too.
>>43174047>background ponies and oc donut steel nobodies lololo try harder
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l9X--jNtMZU>new chryssi rp dropped>STILL no voice modFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>43173405nightmare night being a thing yeah I guess
Would you, anons?
>>43174898Yes, I would still love her just as much as the day I first saw her even if she was extra scaryI would more than likely love her even more for it
>>43174932would hug that nerd bug
>>43173405>popular folklore around changelings is how evil and scary they are>average ponies that haven't seen skittlebugs still believe bugs go around kidnapping loved ones and sucking souls even though they changed years ago>some skittlebugs humor the ponies on nightmare night, becoming horrific monstrous versions of their former selves to scare ponies that wanna be spooked
>>43175761>skittlebugs turn into horrific monstersA bit redundant, don't you think?
>>43175782I meant more horrific than that, at least to ponies
>>43174932I wanna give her a hug and tell her she's pretty
>>43174819Whats she looking at me like that for?
a queen sometimes needs to indulge a little
>>43176882bug pudding?
>>43176579No updates on that guys art?
>>43177165None yet, no. Carnifex isn't the fastest artist I've commissioned, but his work is always worth the wait.
>>43160921there's no way you can take Kassaz. if you even try to do it, his foot will impregnate your ass
>>43177495Oh god oh fuck he was so cuteWHY COULDN'T HE HAVE STAYED CUTE!?!?!??!?!?
>>43177104YES!only the finest for our queen, as she demands!

>>43177104think you could sustain yourself on only bug puddings?
>>43177185>isn't the fastest artistManySuch Cases
>>43179411>mutual benefit with your hostwhat a fucking jokeling deserved worse
>>43178666checked evil digits for bugmama's huge horn
derpy and chrysalis being friends is my favorite strange friendship headcanon in the showlike they enjoy eachothers company, discussing their children and goings on but they have to keep their meetings a secret because one of them is a villain
>my heart keeps beating>never to feel full again >empty, without you
>>43180239The second panel made me think she was worrying over Chrysalis because she's black and chitinous kek
>>43180438lol wut
>>43180239A cafe doesn't sound very secret. Unless it's a muffin speakeasy? Wait, who of them did you say was a villain?
>>43180936>Unless it's a muffin speakeasy?I assumed it was already implicit that their meeting places would be super secret as well but yes, places like thatOr more usually they would be in derpy's home while her filly is in school>who of them did you say was a villain?I suppose that is up to your own interpretation if you have to ask
>>43165691would
>>43180239I love the art style here so much it's so cute
>>43181813Hes a tumblrfagThe couple ponies hes drawn aren't badHe seems to like the pairing of the derp and the queen though, which is baste
>>43182020Shame.
>>43182024Yeah, he even had the whole DONT REPOST MY ART spiel beneath his nameI hope he draws more chrysalis art
>>43182938>spitglues ur hands so that you can't hug backWhat the fuck is that torture?
>>43182942She doesn't know how good a returned hug isGive her time
>>43180936Me on the left
>>43178047why pudding though?
>>43184001Pudding is good. Who wouldn't want to eat a bug queen's pudding?
Favorite bug music?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RPO4dVrIjAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n9BDQUIYfYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuKTAtHRy7w
>>43184687Mother changeling is still my favorite of all timehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXT-Y3w523A
>>43184177Strangely euphemistic sounding but I would do itLike if offering pudding was a custom of the changelings
>>43184177>>43185155nice dubs>you awaken seated at the end of a long dark dining table in an elegantly decorated high ceiling dining room>deep glowing emerald accents line wood furniture and trim throughout >the queen of the changelings herself, chrysalis, is seated at the other end of the table>with her hooves clasped in front of her muzzle she stares>wordlessly she gestures to one side of the room >one of the statue like drones sitting by a bookshelf buzzes to your side of the table with a covered serving platter in hoof>after placing it in front of you they pull off the cover to reveal a small crystal bowl filled with pale green jelly >the queen moves her hoof for you to move on>picking up the crystal spoon on the table setting, you have a taste>the jelly has a sweet and tangy flavor like the custard of a key lime pie>behind her clasped hooves the queen smiles
>>43184687https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=924s_82KJo8Best bug remix
>>43185742theyre just fairies with missing pieces...pieces that you have, that they want.....
>>43179652Buggos need to learn that happy ponies' love simply tastes betterLike the difference between factory farming and free-range grass fed meat
>>43185981Such an indignant picture of a queen to post!Shame on you!
>>43186255lol cute
>>43185981Imagine waking your queen from her nap and that's what you're greeted with.
>>43186918>no matter how old bugs get they all wear the same grub costume to sleepsweet new headcanon acquired heh
>>43127456spring time is egg season ^:)https://twibooru.org/3755957
>>43187322s-she put eggs in herself?....
>why would a queen ever need socks?!
Someone tried to step on bug, it seems.
>>43188097Its so hard to decide which chryssi I love more The motherly and sweet chryssi or the absolute evil as fuck chryssiThats not to imply they're mutually exclusive
I don't like evil Chrysalis because she hurts changelings by proxy.
>>43189405Only reason any bugs were ever hurt were as a result of pony intervention, every time
>>43189851a profoundly disturbing picture
>>43188097I wanna hug the cryptid chryssi
>>43189906
Luna and Chrysalis together feels like a strange ship even though I see it everywhere
>>43162063Why? They're parasites.
>>43190828I just like the art
>>43191106I don't disagree it is cute or beautiful art pretty much every time but when I see the shipping tag its just sorta ehhhhhhhh
>>43191247I get what you mean. I spend a lot of time going through tags on various websites and see stuff like, "Apple Jack x Chrysalis." Does it make a lick on sense? No. But I've learned to just turn off my brain and just appreciate the art.
nightmare faggot jumpscare
>>43191507>let's add creepy horrors to this cute horsey universe>and then make them cute and colorful>and then make them creepy horrors againIt's like watching a tossed coin in the air.
>>43191289>ut I've learned to just turn off my brain and just appreciate the art.it still fucks with me half the time even when i do the same leland she has had some strange ships>>43191547>fagbugs get made nice and cuddly>its just a paintjob and theyre still all evil bugs on the inside>their evil side manifests kirin style with them getting scary as fuck while still multi colored when the moment strikes them>meaning theyre all fucked up emotionally and bipolar now that their hive mother is gonethat would have been a good gimmic
>>43192039
>>43192039>>43192043i don't think I like where this is going....
>>43191547Actually making them scary agian would be too much to ask
>>43193075dreadful pony propaganda drawn to make the changeling hive look sillywhat a shame that they must resort to such tactics
>>43193246Heaven forbid the changelings look silly
>>43193628YesThe noble changeling hive and the queen should never be seen as silly
being a changeling is serious business
I think about Chryssi whenever I hear this songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CPQnlwb3Rg
>>43150396my brain goes to "she wakes up in Fallout Equestria" from that image
>>43193628Would it hurt her if I poke the blue bug thingies on her belly?
>>43194318no, those are just scutes. it's like touching the top side of a centipede or the underbelly or a snake
>>43194240Anon with eyes is so creepyAnd baste retard posting b&thro
>>43194302I know for sure there is at least one foe story about chrysalis in the wastelandNever sought that out but foe: the chrysalis was kino
>>43194318It would extremely painful... for you.
>>43194318the artistic focus on the abdominal banding on changelings is super underratedits especially nice when the banding is glowing and transparent and you can see the organs
>>43194318no it probably the same as poking the belly on a regular bug
>>43194660The Chrysalis made me sad. I wanted the Serenity hive and their queen to win
>>43195873Love is stored in the brain is the buggy equivalent of pee is stored in the balls lmao
>>43195827was serenity the neo chrysalis hive? Its been forever since I read it lelBut I always get sad when I read it too, that introSame as murky no. 7
Foefaggotry? In my bug thread?
>>43196253Yes, the chrysalis was a good storyWhisper was a good bug and the plot stayed to its own thing away from the original past using its world and post ending lore
>>43196449The worldbuilding was good but Whisper and her friends were boring. I sympathized with the 'evil' changeling hive more.
>>43196709Her gf was really the only unremarkable sorta nothing character i rememberI still liked sickle a lot as the murdermare of the story and rusty was a pretty good character for what he was worth being the typical jaded merc teachergranted a rewrite of the story where the new chrysalis wipes half the wasteland off the map instead of the vault siege we got as the ending could have been kinoTo see her win a little instead of getting snuffed in her bedchambers by a bug in a vent
>>43196253its more likely than ya think
>>43194058Wearing the skin of other creatures is very serious business
>>43196739Yeah Sickle was a great character. The others not so much.I would have preferred a diplomatic ending where the Serenity hive survives, or maybe a bittersweet ending where Whisper wins but at a great personal cost. The way she became an unstoppable stone cold operator was very off-putting. The Chrysalis is like the one FoE fic where the main character should have suffered more.
>>43197866At the point that the story was building to there was no diplomatic option with themIt was total conquest or absolute annihilation and their queen picked the latter >The Chrysalis is like the one FoE fic where the main character should have suffered more.And now that I think on it I could not agree more lelThe most she suffered though was losing her hive which in the grand scheme of things was awful but didn't have nearly the punch that other foe MCs had gone through: losing loved ones along their journey, parts of themselves, ect. The story could have used some extra development time maybe
>>43194058there are dire consequences for disrespecting the queen
i want to softly stroke her long ears and tell her shes the prettiest girl in all of equestria through whispers
>>43199234Would hug that bug, maybe even fug....
>>43200157>fanfic cover Wonder if its any good?
>>43200327>unfinished since 2019F U C K
Not having audio compatibility on every board in current year suxhttps://twibooru.org/3759659
>>43199781lol gross
would (you) at least try?
the bugs are off to war
>>43200327What story?
>>43202129This one, by this guy that didn't finish a bunch of his storieshttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/430361/my-life-as-an-interdimensional-insect
>>43201759Always areReady for war with everyone and anyone
>>43203391who let the PONY in here?
there are more spring time activities for a bugmama to do with her subjects than you think
Long time no see, /bug/Got some nice traditional buggo for (you), with a touch of freaky anatomy.I'm not sure if she's yawning or just bored
>>43203913Oooooooo very nice work, was wondering when you would be around againAnd looks like a yawn to me lel
>>43203391>hello fellow poni>how do you do
>>43203770Are changelings good swimmers? Wouldn't leg holes make it hard to move underwater?
>>43203913very kissable
>>43204492Idk why but I imagine the hoof holes effecting them little anyway I think they would float better as light weight insectoids that can naturally fly and even then they more than likely shift to an aquatic form like a sea pony or serpent upon touching water as a possible evolutionary reflex
>>43204176>Hello, other real pony!>Ha ha! It certainly is nice to warm up outside the hive, right?
>>43204801Maybe they float over the surface, like water striders.
>>43205019With a little help from their wings maybe lol
>>43205019>>43205243An aquatic subspecies of changeling would be pretty scary. I guess the Hagfish Hive has need of some though.
>>43205254>deep sea underwater bugs preying on sea ponieslmao and not just the idea of waterbugs, they would have to be visibly scary as fuck to contend with all the awful abyss creatures probably lurking in the deep dark waters of equestrias oceans
>>43204807I read that in his voice lol
>>43131790bug butt
>>43206450I adore alt designs like this for herI know its probably wrong but I believe she has the widest variety of awesome alternative designs of any character in the show
>>43206421Bugbutt is probably like one of the top five things ever
hey which number of frill sections looks the best?i cant decide
>>43207810GIWTWM>>43207830The middle one.
>>43207830I, too, like the middle one the most. The right is just a fish and the left feels bald and cold. But I would also like it to be inconsistent, as is proper for shapeshifters.
>>43207834Thnx>>43207849In my head when I imagine bugs they have slight variation in their frills and tails like that while keeping to a uniform standard for what a drone should look like
havent got a name for her yetbut shes how i thought she looked in my head
DON'T YOU WANT SOMEBUGGY TO LOVEDON'T YOU NEED SOMEBUGGY TO LOVEWOULDN'T YOU LOVE SOMEBUGGY TO LOVEYOU BETTER FIND SOMEBUGGY TO LOVE
>>43208496lel my brain defaults to this recording when I think of that songhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SIz-V2fcinQwould be a kino animation of a bug singing the song karaoke style in a pony house partybut he gets outted as a bug because he forgot to change the words back to somepony
>>43208348Would the chitin on a changeling's butt be soft or as hard as the rest of their exoskeleton? Would it be uncomfortable for them to sit? Would it hurt to plap it?
>>43208348tell us about her
>>43208620No I imagine the only hard part to be their outer elytra on their backs and maybe their horn and hoovesThe rest of them is soft and squishy under a slick vinyl skin >>43209048I'm writing a greentext and that frill on the back of her head was a visual in the back of my mind while writing so I had to start drawing herThe story with her obviously isn't done yet lelThink ill have another version of that pic to go with the story
dat bug be thinkin bout dat bug
>>43209561I look forward to it.
>>43209947self-reflection is important
>>43204492
>>43208620theyre plush critters all around, like ponies with no fur
>>43211779Whats teh buggo got to be so worried about?
>>43211976Being a bug is stressful, I guess
>>43212367living like a spy your whole life would be
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING CHANGELING HIIIIIIVVVVVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
This would be a super cute ship if she wasn't just using him as a midnight snack He would cling to her so hard and she would ruin him lmao
>>43213462Nigga that's a little col- ...actually, it's Chrysalis! She's too evil to care!
>>43213508but what if she was wholesome chungus?
>>43213508Love is food to a bug, and love is love in their eyes
What would twilights name be if she were a buggo?
>>43215188Amaryllis
>>43215188Buglight Sparkle, obviously
>>43216095Some bugs really do need correction I would bite the holes back in his legs
>>43216974She looks so soft....I wanna squish her cheeksAnd her plot
>>43215710The fic that art is connected to kinda sucked lel
>>43215710DO NOT INTO THE BUG LIGHT!
It sucks that we'll never get a mass market changeling plushI want to build my own swarm
>>43218514get started there is pattern and tutorials out therehttps://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/581104132https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1piwF9h_rXBmWkcHXxtr54drnD1eKJfiWh66x8nu_CQw/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NhmVIKZhcezx8ATS5GN5j98e-HpdwvYwsdNTKuDmwdci am making my third. i got a commision
>>43218781Oh damn thats sick
>>43218781guy with the twin chryssi plushes, right?
>>43194302I mean, if we follow G5’s canon….
>>43218781I already have a custom drone plush. What I wish for is a cheap mass market version, like for anon filly or NASApone.
>>43219462>g5>canonlol
>>43219594>already have a custom drone plushgotta pic?
>>43207408Made for sweetsweet lovin'.
>>43219984Sunny Starbug?Buggy Starscout?
>>43221273Sunny LovescoutShe is a love scout for her hive before finding her new friends, make it as on the nose as possible
>>43219972
>>43218514I have no prior experience and no embroidery machine, but I get that desire to want a swarm so I've put considerable effort into trying to make a drone plush. I plan to release my pattern eventually with a rough guide of how to pull fabrics from the dumpster so everyling can make a trash bug.Still WIP. Pic shows the first version of the pattern tested using paper, head test with the wrong fabric, and face sections on an embroidery hoop with incomplete eyes.So far, I'd say the most accessible way to make a decent bug is probably with felt crafting. just that whatever I'm doing is taking a lot of patience.
she says thatwat do?
>>43221684Very cute in progress buggoIf and when you end up finishing the templates it should be added to the op of the threadSo everyone who wants to can spread the army of bugs far and wide

>>43222688cute little bugger with nice numbers
>>43223266That's a face I'd kiss even if it meant she'd bite me

I'm writing something about the queen for Mother's Day. Let me know if you'd like a sneak peek.
>>43225686Yes plz <3
>>43225777I'm writing a humanized story about her, translating her demeanour and everything else. Here's the cover art so far. She's even got a little hairslide that resembles her monstrous counterpart's crown.
>>43225929Cute and tasteful humanized bugmama
Hello bugbros
>>43218514There are a couple Chinese companies that make plushies on demand, you only need around $1000 to start.
>>43127456>Day number razzle dazzle >It's Easter >Weirdly enough, it's actual Easter....the ponies call it something else but it's basically easter. Chocolates and coloured eggs everywhere. >One problem >Ponies don't have Christianity or anything similar to it>Which begs the question.. why the fuck do they have Easter? So...why do ponies hunt for eggs today exactly? >Twilight paused, gulping, before giving a light chuckle. >"Because...because it's fun, Anon!" Well...yeah I guess but...why eggs..? >"It's just a fun thing ponies like to do, don't overthink it!"Ok, how about the chocolates and ->"Wow, would you look at the time! Gotta -um - gotta go! Bye, Anon!">Twilight canters off from the ponyville egg hunt, stumbling over her own hooves. >Try asking the same to other ponies. >Not a single one has any answers.>Most don't seem to get it at all. >A few others act squirrelly like ol' twilight did. >Maybe it's because you're human and theyre racist. >Yeah. >Buncha technicolour faggot-oh>"Oof - please! Watch where you're walking, mister...um..oh.." a lime green pegasus looks up at you, her soft pink mane blows slightly in the spring breeze. ....can I ask you a question? >"Well...I suppose..." She responds, voice slowly fading at the end. What's the deal with the eggs? What's the holiday about?>The pegasus freezes in place. >"..why are you asking me this?" >She turns to leave. Aw c'mon! One of you guys has to give me an actual answer. >Reach out to touch her. >A green shimmer of light comes into being, followed by a loud hiss, like a cockroach expelling air from its lungs. >"Leave me alone!" The chitinous creature demands, lifting itself off the ground. >What it doesn't expect is that you have autism and the strength of a retarded gorilla. You reach your hands out without thinking and grasp the non-pony shortly. >Looks to be some sort of insect..>"Let go!" It demands, before twisting its eyes shut and summon all its aura to...>Pthbbt>It's eyes open, slowly, while it's mouth behind to hang agape, turning to stare up at you. It's blue eyes look in terror. >"Why doesn't my magic work on you?"Hey look I..>"How did you know I was a changeling?" >It squirms frantically >Grasp the apparent changeling forcefully and take it somewhere far away.>It writhes the whole time. >Demanding to be let go. >Also seems to be insistent that you won't be eating it. >Good thing for the changeling you aren't into vore. >Sit down in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. >"FOR THE GLORY OF THE HIVE I WILL..." pant "NEVER SURRENDER!" >Ignore the creature. >Just kind of pet its head and strange blue appendage sticking out from it. >"NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER!" >Keep doing that for over an hour. >It turns to sniveling. >"Oh, queen, I have failed you...." It babbles to itself "molested by a mutant minotaur..." >Ignore that.>Keep petting. >Three hours pass like this. >The changeling just sits there now, quiet, sun almost set.
>>43226413>"Can I go home now?" It speaks, softly. Maybe...what's your name first. >"Amygdala..."What the hell are you? You don't look like any pony I've seen, 'Myggy. >Amygdala pauses. >"Isn't it obvious? I am changeling..." >Then she turns her head to look up at you from your lap. >"You did not know I was changeling?" Not a clue. >"Then..." Amygdala closed her mouth...opens it...closes again and just stares, before she finally speaks again. >"Why does my magic not work on you?" Nobody's does. >"Why?" Too complicated to get into. It just doesn't...>"But.."Now, I get a feeling you know about this holiday. I don't understand why everyone wants to be cagey about it, but I want answers. Why do you guys uh...well..what the shit is this holiday about?>"...you don't know?"I wouldn't be asking if I did. Got any answers, Myggy? >"Amygdala. My name is not 'myggy'." Sure thing myg-pig. >She sighs. >"You know what changelings are...?" She tilts her head to the side slightly.No. >"Did you live under a rock as a nymph?" She snorts, shaking her head before returning herself to standard. >"Changelings...my species..this time of year is special for us," She chirps "it is the season we lay our eggs." Gross>"It is not gross!" She hisses. >"..anyway..." She grumbles "changelings at this time of year, we become very hungry...laying eggs, looking after them, very difficult. Sugars are medicine for changelings."So the chocolate is to help with the egg laying?>"Yesss...recover from the process. Chocolate is an old changeling delicacy " Cool...wonder why ponies are celebrating your breeding cycle. >"Ponies do NOT celebrate the breeding cycle of changelings!" She yells at you, jumping from your lap, keeping her eyes on you all the while. >"Ponies celebrate when they would destroy changelings hives!" She spits on the ground in front of you, a large translucent blue wobble of slime sits in front of you. What the fuck are you talking about? >"Ponies made game of destroy changeling hive, " she backs up, slowly "come to hive! Steal sugars! Not enough that changeling starving, take the medicine too!">She makes a movement like she was smashing something, huffing, turning back to you, backing up more. >"Find eggs - SMASH them! " >Jesus, the scream she says that with sets a chill up your spine. >Then there's just quiet. >"Smash every last egg we hide.." >She backs up just a little more. >"Changelings hate pony holiday.">She mumbles...something. you don't know what, you can't really hear it. >Then spreads her wings and flies away into the night. >Where you don't really know.
>>43226443>It's a long walk to the treebrary, afterwards.>You don't want to believe ponies could do something so cruel. >When you ask twilight, she cringes so hard she could form a black hole. >Then immediately launches into a lecture >"We had to! It was awful, anon! Changelings...you don't understand. They don't get nutrition from normal food. They *eat* love...they drain it right out of us until a pony wastes away." >"They- they could hide and be anypony! Starswirl wanted to make sure we could be safe and.." >You don't let her finish, you just make for the exit as fast as you can. >Throw up outside, and then just keep walking until you're home. >You didn't know ponies could be such assholes. >Grim. >When you receive a complementary 'egg day' basket from Fluttershy the next day, you throw it in the trash. -FIN-

>>43203913you done any modeling work recently? or at least since last time you came thru
>>43232090Not especially recently, unfortunately. Bad habit that I need to break.That being said, last post about her was in December or so. Since then, I've:>refined the shape and size of her torso>moved her waist forward and made it smaller>tweaked her elytra>toyed about with how her wings will fold>improved the shape of her ass tenfold>spent far too much time admiring her ass>gave her arms more segmentation and detail (WIP)>gave her earrings>refined her nostrils>remade her glasses, making them simpler with less geometry>remade her eyes, simplifying the lattice that shapes them>remade her ears, making them prettier with far less geometry>goofed off by giving her a massive gun>made her boobs ~4x biggerand probably a whole bunch of other minor things since then.One thing that I'd like to do is actually sit down and do some anatomical sketches, particularly of her head. A friend shared this with me, and I'd like to pull some ideas from it:https://www.tumblr.com/tenspontaneite/797061549416136704/a-way-too-elaborate-treatise-on-hornets

Happy mother's day, faggots. What have (You) done for the hive and its All-Mother?

happy mothers day for the best mom in all of equestria
>>43225929Alright, here we go:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/590619/holes-in-her-heartI wrote nearly half of this in the past two days, kek. I'll likely finish this before I work on anything else with the queen, but we'll see. I'm planning for this to be roughly twenty thousand words once she's done.
>>43234935Saved, good fuckin stuff kas>planning for this to be roughly twenty thousand words once she's done.kek
>>43231128She would have criticized any geological inaccuracies and demanded their correction.
>>43233242Xylo gutted Rain back when she was a murderous mad scientist for the hive, likely while looking for more minimalistic means of containing captured ponies. She regrets it, but these experiments accidentally turned out to be foundational for modern love donation technology. Every time a donor feels any regrets during donation, it triggers an alarm (because regret contaminates the yield? Or the clinic wants to pay its donors back with free therapy?), Xylo shows him what's left of Rain's body and they bond over it. That's how I got it, anyway.It still leaves a lot of questions open, like what does it have to do with some treaty with the princesses or why Xylo ended up stealing Rain ("the tree disappeared from the hive"?).>>43233641No offence, but the exposition does feel unfinished.
>>43235179>That's how I got it, anyway.eeeeyup you got it all spot on for what i was trying to get across>the expositioni was gonna make a second chapter but i thought there was enough there to get the story acrosswith >what does it have to do with some treaty with the princesses or why Xylo ended up stealing Rain ("the tree disappeared from the hive"?).stuff like that to give a little mystery to the worldbut i suppose i could have added a couple more lines here and there if i spent a day or two more on it far from perfect though i didnt wanna spend a month getting it done if im gonna be completely honest lel
>>43235194Fair.
>>43235018>Saved, good fuckin stuff kasThanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sorry, but I don't understand what's funny about my statement.

Was their coupling ever "canon" after that lame ass spike episode they were squabbling in?Or rather do (you) see any validity in them being a couple?
>>43237792>Or rather do (you) see any validity in them being a couple?No because neither of them are canon
>>43237792All I remember about Thorax is he was cute before the fall of Chrysalis, and he's been sort of reduced to nothing but her foil afterwards. All I remember about the dragon girl is how tiny and angry she was. This information can't be enough to give a good answer to your question. They can marry and live happily ever after, for all I care.Why would a hippie commune even need a leader, especially in times of peace? This shit makes no sense. Or was it mimicry again?
>>43227305You definitely captured the atmosphere of a doctor's waiting room. Those concepts of the advancement of love harvesting techniques, changeling sexual dimorphism, and changeling society are interesting.
