Shipping Thread

@Ranch  
Yes the OC thread is still there

I changed my OCs to Chryssytwi kids and gave them the names of bug parts…I’m actually more happy with this. Sorry Sunny.

Nobody likes a buzzkill.
 
 
@Applejack007  
This is okay though.

@fobone  
Apparently adding ships is a ‘buzzkill’ now. Sure. Unless you assumed I was trolling. :L

@LightningBolt  
It was a joke mang, lighten up.

@fobone  
Well considering how many times people see obvious sarcasm I make as completely serious and paint me as mean, it’s not exactly unheard of.

nothankyou

I find Chrysalis/Shining Armor dumb because we have no reason to think that she sees him as anything other than a food source.
 
@LightningBolt  
I never liked R63 ships, especially since most of them are to make lesbian ships straight, or straight lesbian.
 
@Wiimeiser  
Nope. The fandom has grown too lazy to make half-way decently memes anymore.

@Meanlucario  
Isn’t that how you feel about every Chrysalis ship then?

@VNagato  
Why not? It’s established in the series that she’s a heartless bitch that uses her hive for her own benefits.

@Meanlucario  
“heartless bitch”  
lol aggressive  
Mm I like the idea she has something there, she never stated everything she did was for herself.

@VNagato  
Except that’s what To There and Back Again did.

@Meanlucario  
But the power of headcanons

@Meanlucario  
She’s a changeling, she’s suffering just as everyone in her army is, and she believed, as well as her hive, the only way to prevent/counter that suffering was what they were doing until that point. If some random person who isn’t even the same species as you, came in and said everything you’ve been doing was wrong and that ending that suffering was actually quite easy, I wouldn’t wanna listen to that, much less want to admit everything I did was actually painstakingly pointless. That’s not heartless.

@VNagato  
Let me tell you right now arguing with anyone about the Changelings and Chrysalis is pointless.

@VNagato  
THIS!
 
It shocks me how much empathy some people throw in the garbage when it’s time to talk about what Chrys is going through.

@Applejack007  
I know, I know that very well. Hah…
 
@PonyPon  
A lot of people throw empathy out the window for a lot of characters, villains especially. I think Starlight is the only (ex)villain when I felt like a lot of people even tried to empathize with at all in this show.

@VNagato  
Wouldn’t want to go into woobie territory when you have too much right? :p

To quote Cheese Legs in Where and Back:  
“So I could feed, of course! By replacing the most beloved figures in Equestria, my drones will be able to store all the love meant for them and return it here to me. Everypony will do as I command, and my subjects and I will feed on their love for generations! [maniacal laughter]”  
“Ridiculous! The hunger of changelings can never be satisfied!”  
“Just as soon as I drain every last ounce of love from him and show my subjects what a real leader is! “

@Meanlucario  
>”Ridiculous! The hunger of changelings can never be satisfied!”  
I don’t get what you’re trying to point out here.
 
She doesn’t care about her food and more so prioritizes herself and her own species first. Oh wow, I’ve never heard something like that happening before, coughreallifeanimalscough.
 
If we wanted to look at a animal-like perspective, the Changelings don’t operate that much differently than bees. The drones go out, get food, go back and return some of that food to their queen. The fact she’s screaming about how she’ll get fed by her own army isn’t selfish, that’s how they operate. She stays in the hive making more changeling babies, and is the number one priority in the hive.
 
Bees are loyal to their queen, and at the end of the day, the growth and prospers of a hive really depends on their queen. However, if it’s a bad queen, there’s bad production, and if beekeepers feel like the bees aren’t producing enough, they’ll replace the queen. If the hive itself doesn’t accept their queen, they’ll try to kill her. The only times they won’t reject a new queen even if they don’t “like” them, is when they’re desperate and another queen or substitute is unavailable.
 
The difference here is that drones act one their own, the queen bee doesn’t directly order what the others do, but they are still considered the priority of the hive. The hive revolves on their leader, if Chrysalis can’t even show off how she’s a reliable leader by off-ing a traitor, or successfully carrying out her plan to feed the hive, then there’s doubt, she’d be a “bad queen” and if the Changelings ever get the chance to replace her, they’ll take it.
 
And that’s exactly what happens, Thorax one-upped Chrysalis right then and there, showing that he has potential for the hive to grow and prosper without her rule, and immediately, her entire army turns on her. It didn’t matter if Chrysalis took Starlight’s offer, at that point she already felt cast out of her own hive. If this wasn’t MLP, the reformed changelings might’ve even just killed her then and there. Can you really blame a queen for acting like a queen?
