Clearly Chrysalis will have to grit her teeth and try not to think of the ponies before her at the next peace talks as snacks.

I don't like fics what trying to portray jerk/villain as more sympathetic, they have opposite effect on me (I start feel less sympathy for them).

So I assume that most fanfics being written right now are Sympathetic Chrys fics?

There is only one solution

Chrys is fine just the way she is.

Though you gotta wonder what other places she's hit up for food before Equestria. During her little villain speech during the ceremony, I think she mentions that Equestria has the most love she's ever seen (or something to that effect).

Also, her wings make weird noises.

How about this; instead of making Chrysalis sympathetic, why not show how other changelings feel about what they have to do?

I almost want her to come back even more powerful than before, because hitting the love powered monster with an energy barrier made of pure love energy was a bad idea. Of course that undermines the whole finale, hence the "almost".

Maybe there's an evolution process that would make her stronger. Just throwing around ideas.

I wonder how different the series would be if we had a big bad that wasn't beaten over the course of two episodes.

Some sympathetic Changeling or even defector or somepony in Odo style. That's interesting idea. But making them Always Chaotic Evil locust from hell it can be cool too.

The defendant pleads guilty, your honor.

Of course, I've never actually finished anything I've written, so...
Are you not entertained? Is that not why you are here?

@Ace: I can see what you mean. I just wanted to see what you guys would think.

They don't need to Dritzz clone.

This trope Token Heroic Orc showing how it can be done in many ways.

Unfortunately less imaginative fanfic writers tend to draw from the same Small Reference Pools. I'm sort of gifted/cursed in having a larger reference pool, but you can still see where some of my "original" content is influenced by other stuff.

#172966 from The Woods. Where else?
Hmm, that's an idea. Make The Changelings the Drow equivalent of the Ponies. Maybe Chrysalis got chucked underground by Fausticorn/Corellon long ago or something for her crimes.

There's nothing wrong with derivative work so long as it's well written and at least is able to forge its own identity.

How would a Changeling even wield dual scimitars? Telekinesis?

They've got holes in their hooves, don't they? Just stick the scimitars in them and you're good to go!

I just occured to me that Changelings have both magic and wings.

They're like mini-alicorns!
