Yeah, like I said offer is still open for someone to watch a few episodes with ya and describe what's going on.

@steventheman yet you had Insanity Wolf as an avatar once.

If anything, I think Courage Wolf makes more sense.

He's my desktop background.

And yeah, that's what I was getting at. Insane guys are nice, except me, who isn't.

@dark: I'm not very good at running commentary, but don't be afraid to ask us if you need help with describing things.

Evening everypony. What's going on?

Sure, that would be cool. Just not sure how to set that up.

@Orion: we're talking about changelings. have you ever run into a pony that looked exactly like you?

Not a lot's up with me personally Orion... just glad I am through with the chaos that ensued for me in real life today, and awaiting Monday where I get some alone time.

-Tips hat- Orion.

I trust no shit has befallen your path recently.

@Crimson: I saw myself during the changeling attack during the wedding. There was also that time when Doctor Hooves and I... wait, I am not supposed to mention that, not yet anyway.

Dear goodness, I hope not. That be disgusting.

@Orion: so you actually saw a changeling close-up? waitaminute... you were at the wedding?

@Crimson: Uh, yeah. At the start of "Love is in Bloom" look at the bottom left corner of the video. You should see me clapping.

@Orion: holy snap, that was you! glad you made it there!

Also, A Million is a Statistic.

Incoming hugs :3

I guess you weren't here when Orion originally told his story. I don't remember if conditioner was involved or whether Illsemmr made that up later.

@Story: No, there was conditioner. I just had to crash in the Coat and Mane salon.

All dressed up

I think the comic was a great way of re-establishing Chrysalis as a villain villain, while at the same time exploring her downfalls. Ultimately, she loses because she fails to- no, because she refuses to understand what she deals with. She sees love as nothing but a food source, or perhaps a power source. She knows how to push buttons, and how to set up situations to strengthen ties so that they'll be ripe later on, but she herself loves no-one, and does not want to. Similarly, when it comes to magic, she doesn't truly understand that either. She was surprised to find herself defeating Celestia. She didn't know how Twilight could pull off the feats she did, and she ultimately didn't understand how to use the power of the Secretariat Comet.

I think it would be an interesting story to explore a Changeling who doesn't want to play the part of a predator any more, but it's pretty clear that Chrysalis is not one who would ever go down that road. In that way, she is closer to truly evil than Discord, despite being a far lesser threat in general.

I may be overthinking her character, but overthinking is so much fun.

I agree, especially with the last part.

Anyways, You know how there was a really crappy/mediocre Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon back in the 90's? Well, Tara Strong and Tabitha St Germain voice a couple of charactors in that show. This isn't too unusual, especially since Tara Strong has been in everything, except for one little fact: Tabitha voiced a Alpha Bitch spoiled brat named Kootie Pie {Basiclly the show's version of the one female Koopa Kid, AKA Wendy}, who's also Daddy's Little Villain. Almost two decades later she would go on to voice Rarity, a noteable subversion of the Alpha Bitch trope and more or less the polar oppisite of Kootie Pie. Gotta love irony, am I right?

That's a good way of summing it up.

Wait wait wait, weren't the Koopa Kids in the Mario cartoon(s)?

Thanks!

Yes, but for some reason they had compleatly diffrent names then they do in the video games.

I remember someone posting a clip of the mario cartoon before, but noone made the connection of Kootie Pie being an Alpha Bitch.
