@Mio: The only one calling them succubi is Random Chaos, and I'm mostly ignoring her.

Can you think inside the chimney?

I thought that meme never went away.

I just brought it up since I remember it being big last summer.

@ Ginger: Well, typically Changeling is used for an entirely different sort of creature.

Anyway, I'm going to go eat some human food now. It was nice chatting with you all.

Just curious, does anyone know if they will be livestreaming Bro N Ycon?

Well there not sexy demons, plus she says she doesn't like Shinning. They're more like emotional vampires.

@ CDRW: Isn't the point of a Changeling that they can change their form?

They fit the classical definition of Changeling pretty well, I think. The only real addition is the "feeding off of Love" part, which is a neat addition for this universe, IMO. Heck, they even have fairy-style wings to capture that classical fae look.

Sibsy is a layout artist who communicates with the fanbase pretty regularly. She has her own OC pony, who showed up briefly as the pony Cadence used her love power on during Twilight's flashback.

Usually changelings are switched at birth. These change up the myth a little bit, but what's wrong with that?

#165837 Seraphem Sat, 21st Apr '12 12:10:40 PM from Delamare

Not really, there's so many different types of "changelings" there really isn't a set definition.

now the wait for season 3 info

Some people saying the term wasn't being used accurately or something

@ Badwolf: Not really, a Changeling is a baby that has been snatched from its cradle and replaced with a look-alike fey.

Because FIM uses monsters entirely accurately all the time. Like Minataurs. And Manticores. And Dragons.

Oh wait. They don't.

Really? I've never encountered Changeling meaning that.

No that is only ONE type of changeling, then you have Deep Space Nine, and various others where a "changeling" is just a person/creature that can change there appearance.

If fantasy worlds all had the exact same monsters with no variations on the classical archetypes, things would be pretty freaking boring.

#165846 condottiera Sat, 21st Apr '12 12:13:38 PM from Chicago

@Lurker: Agreed. We have a whole index for that.

@ Seraphem: I'm talking about the traditional fairy-tale changeling that these are obviously based off, not "Changeling as used in popular culture."

#165849 Seraphem Sat, 21st Apr '12 12:15:27 PM from Delamare

again there are TWO differentiations for changeling

1. The child of a Fair Folk or evil witch that is left in place of another persons baby that the Fair Folk/Witch stole.

2. A creature that can Change it's appearance.

then there's the Dresden Files type which is just a Half-Human Hybrid, the child of a human and a Fae.

there are tons of differnt types of them, there IS no "right" usage.

#165850 Badwolfwho Sat, 21st Apr '12 12:16:00 PM from Stardust Road

I've only ever seen the second definition.
