And then they go back in time and get eaten by dinosaurs. And then in vent giant polar bear lasers or some such (Didn't play the third)

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

In regards to the EQG thread, we were actually having a pretty interesting discussion about story elements and stuff until whatever the hell happened(Which I will not bother to get into). And I'm done.

Yeah, I think that it'd be interesting to see a Changeling who tried to get into an actual relationship. The major hurdle would be finding someone who could love him back, knowing what he is.

I have a message from another time...

One thing the EQG trailer reminds me of is just how good the team are at background details and incidental stuff. And how characterization informs the animation. Just look at RD throughout.

I like to think that Changelings aren't too harmful either.

Changelings are prescription only. Do not use changelings if you are nursing or pregnant, or may become pregnant. If your love lasts for more than four hours, contact a medical professional. Tell your doctor right away if you become depressed or have suicidal thoughts. Changelings are not approved for foals under 18. Side effects include nausea, dry mouth, lazy hoof syndrome, and fecal urgency. Ask your doctor about changelings. Love hurts, changelings can help.

@crow: How long until we get the generic version? I wouldn't want to have to pay brand medicine prices for every changeling.

I have no hat and I must scream.

#373710 marston Fri, 7th Jun '13 9:11:42 PM from America

That only applies to Chrysailis and her minions, who as I mentioned eariler are gigantic assholes anyway. I'm sure that a non-malicious changeling wouldn't be too harmfull.

Great, now I really want to see the show subvert the Always Chaotic Evil trope with a couple changelings. Which is most likely never gonna happen.

There are several off-brand versions. But I hear that Doppelganger just doesn't work as well, and Succubus has some... embarrassing side-effects.

I hear Chrysalis has been using some rather underhoofed business tactics in order to undermine any potential competition.

By which I mean she literally murders her opponents.

Maybe the Changeling force at Canterlot was a splinter faction considered terrorists by the main hive. The difference is that the rest of the changelings just infiltrate and live, whereas the invasion force were seeking to conquer and subjugate, including other disguised changelings.

I think that should get explored. Someone has to teach about splinter extremist factions and terrorism.

I have an idea. Regarding a potential Kingdom Hearts crossover. The nightmares arc from the comic would be perfect for ~~plots~~ story ideas.

A cannon loaded with gems charged by exposure to the Elements of Harmony. Each gem allows the cannon to fire a single blast with the effects of the Elements.

edit: How mny issues of the nightmare arc are out? I have Issue 5. Apparently 6 is out. Is 7 out as well?

@Steven: The funny thing is, I do remember Blissy mentioning a fanfic that revealed that Chrysailis and her minions were just one particular hostile changeling hive, with another group of changelings trying to proove to Celestia and the public that their whole race isn't evil.

Sorry, but I've always hated the "changelings are hivemind/insects" interpretation. Apparently so harsh that even comes up when that sort of insect terminology is used. Silly, but true.

@Superweapons

Elements of Harmony. That was their superweapon in an RTS I wanted to make where it was the Earth's Governments versus a militarised Anonymous versus the Alternian Trolls versus the Equestrian Expeditionary Force versus a technocratic Middle East/African superstate versus the Komato Imperial Army.

I meant the changeling race at large, not a hive mind.

It was basically three human factions versus three alien factions who all fight each other.

That would be the fic I wrote.

I don't think they have a hivemind, but I think it's still cool to immagine them having some insect like tendencies.
