Second part for the return of queen chrysalis dub droppedThe bugmama voice sounded great and actually had voicemodhttps://youtu.be/cd__Vc3c62o
where DID the original changelings come from? did she mate with a horse or was it a case of parthenogenesis? i know in ants an unfertilized egg turns into a male drone and fertilized ones turn into a female drone.
>more OCfaggotry>>43532534>where DID the original changelings come from?I do kind of like the idea that Chrysalis fell from space. In any case, the fact that she can consistently beat Discord suggests that she's something big and special, so having her make changelings ex nihilo isn't that far fetched.>did she mate with a horse or was it a case of parthenogenesis? Why not both? Chysalis' whole MO is using the disguise for just long enough to get what she wants and then immediately dropping it, so I can easily imagine that she needed the love from some pony trying to mate with her (as a pony) to quicken the eggs like how a mosquito needs blood.If you accept S6+ then the changelings already have predefined families after that, so they might have been avoiding the changeling metabolic limits with a primitive form of love sharing by having families.
>>43532542>OCfaggotryits just a pretty ol picture, anonthey can't hurt you
>>43531669>*lick*https://twibooru.org/3857496
>>43532534They came one bad acorn.
>>43533231*Chrrr chrrrrrr*
New girls on tha block ready to get some love~
>>43533875See they're too wideYou know what I mean? Nulings, especially the ones that are or present female, should be more elfin and deerlike. Occ looks good but she only looks the way she does because she's a kid. The skittlebugs should have had either a lot more variety or a much less lion-like, bulky body masculine design.Thorax looks good (everything else aside) because he's meant to look like a moose, and he does. But for lings that aren't meant to look like a big ol moose it's just weird.
>>43534224I get that yeahBut now that you mention it I don't mind it, that they're all have the same sort of body shape with very slight variation in neck width that doesn't (seemingly) have anything to do with sexAs perhaps a holdover from their previous forms all looking exactly alike, their new forms can't get rid of the habitLike they can't be much taller or thinner or wider than eachother to a degree inherently Or perhaps its some form of unspoken courtesy that they all stay sorta the same body shape, like they think it would be rude to make themselves skinnier than the standard around them
>>43534542Disproven by the fact that the biggest faggot among them is physically larger
>>43534767Queens like chrysalis and "Kings" loke him are obviously outliersI assumed that went without saying
>>43535083me on the right
>>43535130Get back to work, slacker!
What would you do if Chrysalis said this to you
>>43535739I'm ashamed to say that it would work. Not because of it being Chrysalis, but because I dislike the "mommy" meme
>>43532534>>43532542From a tree, Changeling's come from an old cursed tree, and Chrysalis became the queen for absorbing more power from the tree or some bullshit.
>>43535750IDW is beyond not canon and posting anything from it as an argument about lore is straight trolling>>43535739Really depends on the context. If she's my mother or legitimate maternal figure then sure, I'd lock in.The thing is that Chrysalis does not talk like that which implies that whatever she's asking me to do really matters a lot to her to the extent that she'd try out some bullshit like this and even though the content doesn't work for me the fact that she cares so much is itself motivating.
>>43535550Okay....
>>43535779>IDW is beyond not canon and posting anything from it as an argument about lore is straight trollingRealI so with their writing wasn't shit
>"Ah~!">"R-right there~">You aim for that spot again>"Ugh, I needed this. Don't you dare stop.""Wasn't planning on it." You smirk as your thumbs press firmly into the frog of her hoof again>Chryssi always got vocal when you gave her a hoof massage>She was lying on her stomach, facing away from you with her rear hooves in your lap as you work>Getting to see how the curve of her back writhed with the release of every little band of tension>Hearing every how every breath became a relieved sigh>You did that>You're the one that can make her relax>You wish you could do this forever
>>43533518the fuck did you just say to me?
>>43535739Hearing it in her real voice in person, yeah it would be quite the motivator
I think we all agree that chrysalis should buzz like she did originallyBut should the other changelings?
>>43537113Yeah and they should be super loud and scary about it tooLike a giant wasp
>>43537747Wasplings?
>>43535750>idwI don't consider it canon also, this comic is just plagiarized from samurai jack. aku came from an evil tree like this
>>43538324I mean its not exactly the most original trope lelIts either like a tree, or maybe a planted seed really when you wanna make a backstory for a "naturally occurring" evil>>43538572Omg he looks so happyWould snug this bug
>>43538638a dead/rotten acorn magical mutation into a tree that randomly produces insectoid evil love eating pones? though i guess from conjecture we're supposed to think that the mosquitos in the water turned into the changlings which also makes no sense
>>43539045With the colorful small horse show suspension of disbelief shouldn't be neededEverything in the world should feel as it belongs (which it does for the most part on screen)The comic backstory feels very rushed and handwaveIt is better that they have no concrete backstory at all as a species
Say what you want about the comics but this was a more interesting Chrysalis than what they did to her later in the show acting as if her minions were just trash she only used as tools and garbage and didn't knew how to "work as a team"
>>43539735out of character she is ruthless and would have them work themselves to death digging out of whatever place they're trapped in
>>43540354Nuling propaganda. Chrysalis was a highly effective and benevolent ruler, unlike the treasonous Thorax. The """king"""'s incompetence is only proven by the desperate attempts at slandering the former leader to make his own inabilities look good by comparison.
>>43539735she lost her mind through bad writing at the end

>>43539335I am supremely curious about teh context of this picture
>>43540846>>43540848It took me a hot minute to realize this was a continuation off of my prompt. Noice.
i love and hate her having a separate abdomen as a tail
Most (all?) wasp ovipositors and stingers are the same organ
>>43541601Neat factoid. Don't see the relevance though
>>43541058I just wanted to write a little more for it, might do another>>43541350It is a tasteful design detail when done right in the correct proportion Like that pic, it is a good example when coupled with the segmentation of her legs and the chitin plates on her neck and chest
>>43541601does it count as losing your virginity if a wasp stings you? Are there any anons who missed out on their wizard powers because of this?
>>43541585if not friend? why friend shaped?
>>43542042NahIn the same way that oviposition isn't pregnancy, getting stuffed full of venom and/or eggs isn't sex>>43541618There's a type of cave louse where the female has a spiky penetrative sexual organ they stick inside the male to suck up the semen, which is frequently used for /ss/ rape since the point is to gather the nutrient rich seminal fluid in a low-energy environment
>>43542079And getting fucked by an ovipositor is totally not gay
>>43542091Depends on whether or not you're a mare I guessAnd maybe on whether or not Chysalis considers it fucking
If you're reading this, then congratulations! You are now a cute bug and one of us.Don't get too excited. Your free will has been forfeit and replaced with that of her Majesty the Queen Chrysalis. Enjoy being one with the hive mind, my little drone.
I'm now discussing what she'll be doing. Originally, she was going to be from a scene in that old story I wrote, but now I'm thinking something distinct will be nicer, and I can write a new story about her. I asked him for ideas and he's thinking something a Disney villainess would do would work best.
>>43542336Aw damn it, not againSniped by the bug tf cognitohazard post
>>43542348i hate this long face, she needs an round insect head to store the muscles needed for a strong bite
>>43542336Who needs free will when you have the Queen to guide you?
>>43542348Don Bluth the GOAT, imagine if he did his own take on ponies
>>43542973Gotta appreciate how massive the outlines of her horn are here. If you squint and mentally uncheese it, this thing would be thicker than her neck and about as long as her entire body. Holy shit.
>>43543003That's not how her horn works, it's not a big horn with holes, it just is that shape. Check the show, her horn would be twice the size of Celestia's if it was supposed to work like your pic
>>43543003lolwut
It's okay guys! She got new drones!
>>43543291>>43531689
>>43542336I have a strong desire to please my Queen, yet I have a sinking feeling I've already disappointed her. How do I do better bugbros?
>>43543757Yeah but the first time you didn't gave any (You)s, so it will be posted until you react to your queen.
>>43544092Do your bestThats all anybug can do in the loving eyes of the queenShe will still love you
>>43544092If you don't bring her an offering she is going to hit you, don't listen to >>43544527, there is no room for a useless bug in the hive
Seeing her hair tied up is so hot... Bug bros, how do I dedicate more of my life to her, I already got a tattoo of her on me. What else must I do for her?
>>43544538Come now you should know "offerings" garner no special reward ortreatment from the queenPonies are mundane and one in the same for the love they give to serve the hive, perhaps an allicorn like the crystal princess would give more love but I digress>a useless bug in the hiveEverybug in the hive has their use in some way, its something a bug should never have to worry about like a pony always worrying about their purpose and cutiemarkKnowing the love she has and the understanding the queen has that every bug does their best in the hive is what keeps the hive going
>>43543654>now you listen here ponigger
>>43542336Does the Queen command you to be this gay lol?
>we never got a canon oldling Ocellus designI'm STILL mad.
>>43545623Them just making her into chryssi in the face your fears episode below the school is still the biggest cop out ever all cuz those lazy niggers didn't wanna make a new rig for classic flavor ocellusAnd it pisses me off even more knowing they would have never brought up her being an evil bug again in a tenth season

>alt time line>thorax isn't the bug that spike meets in the cave>Pharynx softens some in his understanding of friendship but just really wants to get back to the hive>they keep him in the crystal empire away from the hive knowing the tactical blow his absence deals>the hive doesn't explode in his encounter with the queen in place of thorax>instead showing her how easy ponies are to manipulate and steal love from when you "befriend" them undisguised >along side the release of the royals and high status ponies captured a shaky agreement is made that changelings are to be welcomed to make friends with ponies and recieve love as long as they don't drain anypony
>>43545623I just wanna hold her and cuddle her and give her all my love thereWould tell her she never needs to change, that she's a perfect little bug just the way she is
>>43547907Wouldn't even be yandere right?Just an overly loving manic woman with (little to) no murderous intent
does anyone have that screenshot of Chrysalis draining love/magic out of a drone?

queen damn it i didnt line up the hat i forgot
>>43547906That's an awfully gray bug
>>43554797They get like that when they eat boredom
>>43553443I think is funny that the first love parasite that became good and befriended someone, that someone turned out to be Spike, a character with a whole subplot about love since episode 1
>>43555368Damn.

iz bugtober time once again '(^v-v^)'
>>43558205I think prefer his series over the inktober one.
do you think chrissy kills any drones with random mutations? like different colors or multiple heads?
>>43558669Culling drones is wasteful even in a love shortage especially when deviations in a bugs natural form can be remedied in an instant Like makeup to hide a blemish a change in form to hide a discrepancy in coloration And I doubt extreme mutations like multiple heads is common enough to addressed by the queen with murderThey could serve the hive disguised as circus ponies out in the world hiding amongst the freaks and oddities they keepSomepony out there has to love freaks enough to give them some reliable supply to send love back to the hive, right?
>>43555368I would go to every one of her showsGetting trashed at local comedy shows is some of the most fun you can have and I trust her to be kinda funny
Trying to use my phone to draw more when I'm out and aboutFuck this site I changed DNS, device, and browser to make it stop thinking I'm blocking spur and mcl.
>>43558699I think we should kill this bug because he talks like a faggot and his ideas are subversive towards the hive's wellbeing and future.
>>43559028Super cute doodle buggo, evDoes she actually have a ponysona that she uses when she's out and about doing stuff or does she just walk around everywhere as her cute bug self?
>>43559362The queen loves all her children and sees little reason to needlessly kill themI am sorry your perception of her has been warped by pony propaganda to see her as so evil that she would murder her own children
But what if the bug was really small?
>>43559555chekced
>>43559918I think you just have autism but in a bad way
>>43560613I don't see what that has to do with anything
>>43558443Wonder if they're coming up with topics on the fly or they're prewritten
>>43561174>topics on the 'fly'heh
>>43561618tbqh I hadn't caught myself writing that
>>43559555Everywhere as her cute bug self! I have some lore threads that I still have to weave together, one of them being that ponies and changelings coexist with one another, having reached a peace agreement shortly after Chryssie's invasion of Canterlot.With that said, I really should work on a qtqt ponysona for her. Would give me an excuse to come up with a fun manestyle
>>43562309All that backstory world building would do well in an askblog comic formatAnd it needs to be something that really fits her personality like the ponysona ocellus has would be sweet Maybe even a dragon form like ocellus had too
>>43562757>that changelings a ponybut what would give it away?
>>43562774According to the fic, mostly posessing pony contrabandhttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/343811/that-changelings-a-pony
>>43563432quite bit of an overreaction, no?

It's now ten years since the first part of To Where and Back Again aired early in the UK.Since the UK was showing one episode per day, the second part wouldn't air until the next day. The resulting cliffhanger was very received: https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/28582625/
