I wonder whether the writers have any overarching plan to redeem Chrysalis, for whatever values of "redeem."

A "Chrysalis" can be strange, angular, spiky, ugly. But eventually it cracks open and something pretty comes out.

Of course, some of us prefer the Luv Bug just the way she is.

>>30099772

Does anyone know of any good bugfic anywhere?

On Fimfiction I'm reading "Chrysalis Visits the Hague" and I'm not sure what to make of it. It has to do with an alternate world in which Equestria popped into existence in the Pacific just after the first attempted Canterlot invasion, in which the Princesses bundled Chrysalis up and sent her to the UN with a letter requesting to make formal charges of "war crimes" against her.

It's mainly a courtroom procedural story that nonetheless manages to be grimdark as FUCK.

It's also incomplete.

>>30102102
AFAIK, it gets semi-regular updated

Wasn't there a really funny clopfic about Shining Armor and Cadence getting drunk and somehow convincing LuvBug to forgo her revenge plot in favor of a threesome?

>>30102129
True. It's also dark enough that it gives me pause and leaves me kind of disturbed after reading it.

Chrysalis is put into US custody for transport to the Hague--and gets chained up, beaten and kicked, tortured with electric shocks, and worse, while in their custody, as though she were a circus animal that had bitten its handler and is being taken to be put down.

Meanwhile, the ponies are shown to be liars and massive fucking hypocrites at every turn. They accuse Chrysalis of "creating an apartheid state," even when the ponies actively hunt down and expel, and, it is strongly implied, even kill every Changeling they find in their society. Even as the Equestrian military gears up for the final war of extermination against the last Changeling nests that have held out, they accuse Chrysalis of "waging an aggressive war." And worse.

Both sides are portrayed as--well. Chrysalis is portrayed as cruel and capricious, having no regard for the lives of ponies her drones kidnap to use for whatever the magic draining cocoon thing is. The ponies are gung-ho about exterminating the Changelings to the last and making an example of Chrysalis herself with what they think is supposed to be a Stalin-style show trial, and genuinely don't understand the idea of "rule of law," or even that a court that is supposed to have moral authority can't turn a blind eye to the torture inflicted on Chrysalis while in US custody.

It is well written and I can't stop reading, but it makes me sad. This is all going to end tragically, probably for everyone.

>>30104732
I didn't even mention the worst things.

1. While in US custody, a veterinarian--they couldn't even be bothered to find a doctor--subjects Chrysalis to a series of pretty disturbing medical experiments. Despite the fact that she is of a previously unknown species, and her body chemistry is unknown, he doses her with larger and larger doses of an assortment of veterinary horse tranquilizers in an attempt to "control" her, apparently not caring that this could have caused her permanent brain damage or even killed her. At one point when being transferred between aircraft Chrysalis gets loose for a few seconds and bites his hand off. He deserves it.

2. meanwhile, in Equestria, a Serbian war-crimes investigator and pathologist named Edith is with a party of the Royal Guard, looking through what seems to be an abandoned Changeling nest in the Everfree Forest. In her presence they act like racist assholes to Zecora, whom they have conscripted into acting as their guide. Then there is a cave-in and she is badly injured. The ponies take her to a hospital, where Edith--a devout Christian--begs them not to use magic on her, especially not magic affecting the mind. They pat her on the head, knock her out for surgery, perform the surgery, then, while she is still unconscious in the recovery room, one of the doctors--it isn't even known who--decides to "do her a favor," "for her own good," and uses God only knows what kind of mind-magic spell to seize what UNIX guys would call "root" access to her brain and literally write memories of the Equestrian language into her head, at the very least. And no, this is not one of those stories where the Equestrians magically speak English. Anyway, when she finds out after waking up, she says "meh," suggesting it's possible they used mind magic to brainwash her or worse. Since Chrysalis is formally charged with "violation of the sanctity of the mind," among other things, that's sickening.

Caught these posts scrolling by on a page, dropping in to say that it's a pretty damn good story. I wasn't sold at the beginning, but the more I read the better it kept getting. It actually manages to establish moral ambiguity, where what starts seeming like a cut and dry good-versus-evil situation is rapidly turning out to be every bit as messy and horrifying as any human conflict. The most alarming bit to me is the implications that the Princesses may not even be aware that ponies are (maybe) the instigators to the whole mess.

Also, you missed the most recent part where it seems that the ponies may have inserted a magical compulsion in Edith to destroy any evidence of their wrongdoing should she actually manage to come into possession of it.

>>30105606
I haven't read all of it yet. But yeah God only knows what they did to poor Edith's mind. The fact that they can do this so casually, even while they complain about Chrysalis "violating the sanctity of the mind," is frightening and disturbing. In Edith's place it would be valid to question whether she's dead or alive--whether someone went into her head, into her mind, and erased the personality that was there and wrote a new one that would be more convenient for them. This amounts to murdering Edith version 1 and sending a brainwashed zombie out using her reanimated corpse to do who knows what. But maybe Edith version 2 was programmed not to think about it. Our memories are what make us who we are. Our minds are sacred.

Speaking hypothetically, as though the story were a factual retelling of events: in that circumstance, if I knew the ponies could just zap anyone, murder their original mind and replace it with a new one for their purposes, I'd be terrified and enraged and demand that there be no ponies allowed on the same continent with me. Such a power would be such a threat to all of humanity that this new island Equestria might just end up getting nuked, because humanity can't share a universe with beings who have such terrifying powers. It'd be tragic--in the story the ponies we see are, with the exception of Lyra, a bunch of absolute assholes significantly worse than Chrysalis, but one presumes there are good ones, and there'd be so much to learn from them. What could we learn if we had the tools of magic to use alongside science? But if the ponies have that kind of mind-rape magic then no human anywhere is safe while even one of them still lives. I'd rather have Chrysalis as a neighbor, and this version of Chrysalis is a cruel arrogant bombastic cunt. At least she doesn't lie about what she is or what she does, and she didn't brain-rape anyone and turn them permanently into zombie meat-robots to do her bidding. Poor Edith.

I don't dislike any of the characters so much as to want to see them die onscreen. I would like to see Bugbutt get more screen time, though.

I've read at least one darkfic in which Chrysalis pays a visit to Celestia after that battle, just to talk, and tells her that Changelings have TRIED the "we're gonna share our love and live on that" bit before, and they always die, because one of the magical laws is that emotion-powered magic cannot be created nor destroyed, but there are always losses--analogous to entropy increasing in a closed system--when it is used. And that means Thorax and all the rest who went that route and got the fluorescent recolor are going to think they're okay for a few weeks, but they're all going to die, slowly and horribly, because they also cut themselves off from "normal" Changeling magic and made themselves unable to siphon love/magic from ponies. She says she's seen it over and over again, and it horrifies her every time, because they're all her children. That she's cruel because she has to be, not because she enjoys it--though she will admit to having a sadistic personality, she's centuries old and she wasn't always that way.

I had an idea for a similar story after the finale, except it involved Chrysalis visiting Starlight and informing her that the changelings' transformation breaks their lifecycle and makes them effectively sterile. Thorax and company may have broken the cycle that left them perpetually hungry, but have doomed themselves to never reproduce and slowly die out.

>>30113485
That's a better idea than one I got and decided against writing a while back involving Celestia summoning a "demon"--actually a human--to protect her from Chrysalis, who sadly, apologetically, grabs Chrysalis and appears to break her neck like a twig, though she gets better, see picture. The summoned human says that he is bound to obey Celestia's true desire, not her words, which gives her plausible deniability, sort of, as she starts screaming and weeping and saying she just needed him to subdue her, and ponies start freaking out because invasions and monster attacks are pretty common but usually no one dies or even gets badly injured. Cut to scene of human, standing beside deep hole he just dug in the castle garden, touching Bugbutt's apparent corpse sadly on the cheek and apologizing for killing her, when she comes back to apparent life, untwists her head, and flees, possibly with a clever quip I couldn't think of.

>>30114954
Not that one, then. The story I'm thinking of is Celestia receiving a series of letters that are all signed "Queen Chrysalis," in which she offers an alliance, then when rebuffed, resorts to threats and insults. In the last scenes, though Chrysalis and her hive are deep in a magically fortified portion of the badlands where unicorn and alicorn magic do not work, she is astonished to look into the distance and see an enraged Celestia about to throw an entire literal mountain at her that she's ripped out of the earth's crust by the roots. While she's trying to figure out what Sunbutt has up her ass now, Discord appears, and says "remember that bet we made, where I told you I could destroy you and your kingdom with nothing but a pen and paper?"

Story time bitches!

Its been awhile, so I think I better post a recap.

The trio of changelings--Thorax, Knives, and Gaster--finally discover edthe lair of the hag
While scouting ahead, Knives came across some troubling news, instead of there being just one hag, there is actually a coven
To make matters more complicated, the group stumbled upon a guard pony searching the cave for a missing foal
After some heated discussion, Thorax convinced Gaster to spare the guard pony and use him to fight the hag.
The group finally assaulted the coven. Two hags were quickly disposed of, but before the third could be slain the hag activated the dreaded mind altering beam of light, driving the changelings crazy in a frenzy to fly towards it!

>You curse at your gold barding. It never fit right. Despite it being the smallest set of Royal Guard armor available, it was still too large and clunky for you.

>“I don’t understand… No changeling should be able to resist the effects of the light!”
>She continues to walk closer to where you are hiding.

>Her clouded eyes squint at you inquisitively.
>“Surely that can’t be a guard pony lumbering around in that metal barding… can it? Oh… of course! You’re here for the filly, aren’t you?”
>“EEHHH!” The filly screams out in pain as the hag tightens her grip.
“LEAVE HER ALONE!”
>You yell, sticking your head over the vat.
>Just as you yell, another lightning bolt shoots forth from her horn.
>You quickly duck-
“GGGGHHHHHHAAAHHHH!”
>The bolt strikes the top part of your helmet, completely burning away the blue ornamental fur.

>“Yes... scream! SCREAM! You shall pay for what you’ve done to my sisters you Royal Guard scum!”
>You tear off your helmet and throw it to the ground, tearing of bits of fur and flesh in the process.
>Panting in and out heavily, you clutch your charred face in pain as your body curls into the fetal position.
>Shivering against the cold steel vat, you feel someone breathing against your raw, charred skin.
>Cringing in fear.... you hesitantly force your charred eyelids open.
>The hag stands directly over you, a sadistic grin on her face.
>“Your time is up pony...”
>This is it…
>She has you…
>And there is nothing you can do...
>Tears stream down your face, stinging against your seared skin.
>“I can hear your sniveling you pathetic coward! You cry more than the little one does! Speaking of which...”

>You scoot backwards in an attempt to get away, but bump against the immovable steel vat.
>“But know this… before you die this day, you shall be the first pony to bear witness to my... transformation.”
“P-Please-”
>“SHUT UP!”
>Her front hoof slams against the side of your disfigured face.
>“There is magic in those vermin’s blood…” The hag motions to the changelings flying about the room.
>“A powerful magic... And one that can be harnessed! Do you know what this means you blubbering coward?
“M-mercy... plea-”

>The hag extends her front hoof into the air.
>Her expression shifts to pained concentration.
>A bright flurry of green flames erupts from her hoof, causing you to flinch back.
>“Through the blood of changelings… not only can I bear the wings of an alicorn…”
>Her green coat begins to sear off as thin fragments of bone and sinew begin to protrude from her hoof.
>“But also... I possess the power to grow the claws of a DRAGON!”
>The green fire extinguishes revealing four thin, long claws protruding from what once her front right hoof.
>Drops of blood fall from the horrendous masses of bone and flesh as small trails of steam emanate from her new appendage.
>“Impressive… aren’t they?” She says with a pained smile.
>As she dangles the razor sharp claws in front of your face, you cringe back, preparing for the worst.
>The hag slowly places her claws upon the steel vat, just inches above your head.
>“Today these claws shall rip through your flesh… and soon enough... they shall tear into Celestia herself!”
>The hag’s head points upward, rejoicing with a smile.
>“I can almost hear her screams now...”

>You grip the helmet in your hoof and delivery a solid blow to the unsuspecting hag!
>“GHAAA!”

>Invigorated with adrenaline and courage, you quickly jump back to all four legs as the impact of your blow wavers her off to the side.

That could be done pretty well.

Then again that kind of moral choice--depending on how grimderp you want to get, it's possible to interpret Chrysalis's multiple invasions of Canterlot as more than just Saturday morning cartoon villain level buffoonery. If ponies--or changelings, for that matter--died as a result, if Chrysalis is still holding pony hostages, this becomes a difficult decision to make, and maybe even Luna (because in my headcanon she was always "bad cop" to Sunbutt's "good cop") could argue, pragmatically, "They attacked us. Ponies died, who looked to us to protect them. Oh, the Changelings are dying off now? Good riddance." That's a bit dark, and a bit adult, for a show primarily written for nine-year-old girls. And from one point of view, it's an entirely rational, reasonable argument, if you assume that Changelings must always be implacable foes of ponies, and that the Princesses and their government only have obligations to ponies, not to Changelings. It could be argued that by cutting off the Changelings who were trying to change their ways, the ponies would give up any pretense to moral superiority, and they have always thought of themselves as being kinder and more merciful and more civilized than the more warlike species that surround them (and, realistically, if not for their control of the Sun and Moon--well, one imagines that the only ponies left alive would be in the Minotaurs' and Diamond Dogs' slave pens, which the Griffons would periodically raid for snacks). But there are heavy costs both ways. What happens to the Crystal Empire if you do away with the Heart?

And, because I can't stop myself:

>"What would happen if I took the Crystal Heart?"
>"It would be extremely painful."
>"You're a big kingdom."
>"FOR YOUUUU"
>"Was getting caught part of your plan?
>"Of course. Queen Chrysalis refused our offer in favor of yours, we had to find out what she told you."

Sombra would come back and the north would be plunged into eternal winter. Hence why everyone there would have to leave.

>>30132650
I thought he died onscreen and was turned into a Sombra-shaped shadow on the ground and a pile of ashes, Hiroshima style, by the power of love. Apparently love is like nuclear weapons in Magic Hoers Land.

But maybe the characters didn't notice and his fate is not officially known.

>>30132668
Oh, well it could just be a return of eternal cold then and no sombra. Just unhospitable winter wasteland.

And finally, RE:changeling. don't be fooled by the autistic art and broken premise, The story features twilight in a passive observational role of chrysalis, and both she and the supporting changeling in this fic are wonderful to read about their character development through her eyes.

Its far from perfect but its very worth reading if you want to see chrysalis shown in something of a positive light without compromising on brutality

>>30132686
Magical Fimbulwinter is not much better than the return of a tyrant, is it? The inhabitants would have to leave their homes, presumably, and flee to Equestria.
>>30132721
Thanks. I'll have a look at those.

>>30132732
That's the point. Do you save the Nulings and free all changelings from a life of predation and loneliness, but exile an entire kingdom... Or keep the kingdom and damn the Changelings.

>>30132750
Would it even free the Changelings? Maybe the only way to fix it, the only thing even the power of the Crystal Heart can do, is turn them back into warped hole-riddled black cockroach-horses who can only skulk in the shadows.

Other fanfic authors have talked about this. What the Changelings need isn't a magical change, it's a change of plan. Of course there are stories where this idea, which seems pretty obvious to me, is raised and shot down for whatever reason, usually boiling down to Chrysalis being paranoid and not wanting to make her people dependent upon the ponies for love, not realizing they already are, that that's what parasites are, and that maybe with help they can become symbiotes instead.

A couple of fanfic writers have gone into detail. Since the Changelings have the power to mimic ponies of any race, they also can mimic, at least within some limitations, what those ponies can do. Which means they can seek honest employment in Equestria and be tremendously versatile, because they're not bound by cutie marks or species as to what they can do. Changeling Drone #17 can be a weather pegasus for two days this week, helping out with an emergency rainstorm that was ordered up to end a drought for some farmers, then for two days more he can be an Earth Pony and pull carts in Manehattan, and the fifth day of the week he can be a unicorn and help out in the High Energy Magical Research department at the university. Their power to simulate any other ponies also mean they don't have to skulk in the shadows. They can do anything anyone else can, and get paid for it, and become well liked and respected colleagues on the job. And if someone says "but no one will love them," why wouldn't they, if they are honest and work hard and treat everyone else around them with respect, why would they be any less lovable than anyone else? Aren't most of us half in love with Queen Chrysalis herself already, scenery-chewing bombastic supervillainess though she is?

Isn't it just reverb added to the vocals?
Only Chrysalis had it though, in the wedding episode.

>>30151215
So why did they get rid of that voice effect? Were they too lazy to add it again or did they just forget?

>>30151756
The opinions I am forming of the current writing crew based on the episodes I've seen are that it's most likely they just forgot. There seems to be little or no continuity--I'm surprised they haven't forgotten to put Purplekorn's wings on half the time--and it seems to be a free-for-all, with no one in charge and no overarching vision of how things are or how the fictional world works.

I kinda like the idea of changeling castes. Like some are just trained for labor, some get to be infiltrators and a few are big warriors for when they have to steal love by force.

>>30161382
I still have to wonder about that "we're gonna force you to love us" bit.

I get that the Changelings are supposed to be a kid-friendly mashup of vampire, succubus, doppleganger, and demon. But "we eat love and we can force ponies to love us" is gibberish. If I threaten to hit someone if he doesn't love me, that ain't gonna make him love me--it's gonna make him hate me. Emotional response isn't voluntary. It's not something we choose.

I love the Luv Bug and the character design is good enough and the voice acting hits all the right notes. This does not change the fact that the underlying premise is nonsensical and the scriptwriters should have been asked to discard the scripts altogether or start over with something a little more logical, like "they are biological organisms and they eat food, they have no inherent magic of their own but they can impersonate ponies to get those who trust them into a vulnerable position and drain their magic, which they can then use for their nefarious purposes." Which still hits all the right notes, without being word salad.

There's an idea going around that one of the new writers, either Josh Haber or Mike Vogel, was responsible for a lot of the parts of S6 that people didn't like, including the nu-bugs. Changelings haven't been explored much on the show but what we saw in the finale was really weird and not thought out.

The upcoming two changeling eps might clear up some things and maybe retcon back the "all changelings are permanently transformed" idea, but I guess it depends on who is writing it.

>>30163282

It could happen, this season's been a real question mark so far. I feel like they're probably keeping the show in a holding pattern for now, not wanting to do anything too dramatic since the movie is imminent. That would explain all the new writers and the lack of a proper season premiere two-parter.

All Bottled Up showed that the nu-bugs can still transform and are still living in the bombed-out ruins of their former hive. If the Pharynx episode brings back a normal changeling that refuses to mutate it'll keep the old bugs alive in canon at least. But if Vogel's writing it all hope is probably lost and it'll just be him solidifying his shitty headcanon.

Also I dunno if cheeselegs is gonna show in the finale, all bets are off as to what DHX is planning, if anything.

There's a small sliver of hope left inside of me that they'll allow orginal changelings and nu-changelings to live together and have something like where changelings decide if they want to stay as best changeling or nu-changeling.

I mean really, sharing love doesn't HAVE to mean transforming into a rainbow mess, right?

But why would the changelings want to live in New Zealand?

>>30165779
Legal weed.

Also, New Zealanders fuck sheep, so they'd obviously be open to giving their "love" to other creatures with four legs and hooves, unless of course the fact that Changelings are actually intelligent, thinking, speaking, reasoning beings frightens them off.

I kid, I kid.

>>30165841
You know, for kidding, those are some surprisingly valid points if the sheep thing was still true these days. Not to mention that NZ is generally a pretty nice place.

I love Bugbutt, I love the voice acting for her, I love the character design.

At the same time, though, it seems to me that the holes in the mane and tail--holes that are impossible unless she's just wrapped green cloth around her head and dock--suggest to me that her appearance might be unkempt.

Do you think she'd clean up nicely, /bug/? She'd still have the holes in her legs and her horn would still have that crooked, angular look. But it might soften her appearance, and make her look more conventionally pretty. Maybe?

If they kept her colors intact and just smoothed her out a bit I'd be fine. It'd be a decent compromise for a "reformed" Chrysalis but I guess we can't have nice things.

Personally it's not the holes, it's how thin and angular she looks. Smoothing out her proportions usually makes her look better, at least in fanart.

Curious to hear how you guys feel about this fic. I think it's pretty badass.

Even then. She would probably only see you as a food source and nothing more than a loyal subject at best.

>>30204464
That's a plausible interpretation of the character, but then again, I would like to believe that something else is possible. I want to believe there's a good wom--I mean, mare, inside her somewhere. I dearly love the voice acting for the character, I find the character design has an austere beauty. I get that she's supposed to be a cackling supervillainess straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, I get that her character design has all these visual cues--the crookedness of her horn, the holes--that are supposed to indicate damage and imperfection and imply that she's evil. I grasp that the way she's written, she swaggers and blusters and chews the scenery like some kind of warrior queen from a more savage age--but I love her for it. She and Hatshepsut might have been good friends--or, more likely, killed one another.

I have always had a thing about villainesses, always. I have fantasies about redeeming her with the purity of my love, in combination with the mystical powers of the Hot Monkey Dick, which I know to be implausible in the extreme. Intellectually I know that Queen Chrysalis is basically Gwendolyn Ingolffson (if you've read any of the "Draka" stories by S.M. Stirling you understand this metaphor instantly) in a bug-pony's body, and maybe short about 75 IQ points--not that Chrysalis is stupid, exactly, but Gwendolyn Ingolffson has an IQ not far short of 200, and would have succeeded--and she would have killed Twilight and Cadence, not just imprisoned them.

Anyway. I find the Queen eerily beautiful, and I want dat ass. I know it would end badly for me. I know. But we can't help what we want. We can act on it, or not, but we can't will ourselves not to want something or someone.

>>30204574
So what you're saying is: You'd still love her even if you ended up being her sissy cuckolded bitch for life? Got it.

I don't think Chrysalis is an unfeeling monster; she was almost redeemed after all, and it's implied that she gave birth to the entire changeling swarm, so it'd be pretty cold if she didn't care about her drones.
During S6 I firmly believed we were gonna see a finale where Chrysalis captures Flurry Heart, then by the end is redeemed by the baby's unconditional love, or something like that. It made sense at the time, but now it's apparent we're on Haber and Vogel's Wild Ride so who fucking knows what's gonna happen with her.

Maybe the only reason she survived is because there's so much porn of her that it would cause an uproar if her design was changed.

She might toy with you for the fun of it (let's face it, she's a bit of a bitch), but ultimately she still needs your love in order to be able to feed. Unless she has a some kind of solid back-up, she wouldn't let you crumble into helpless despair.

>>30209692
I'd say that would be pretty accurate on what would happen. Especially if the love you had for her was substantial, she would no doubt keep you very close.

Is it wrong that I find her bitchiness kind of hot?

What? When?

If you're talking about Thorax's hatching flashback, I only remember her being present with no mention of her role in any of it.
To me, she just seemed to oversee the scene.

Still, I like the idea that she genuinely cares on some level too. Maybe not in the same way a normal, well-adjusted person would, but we've seen that she's a responsible monarch who always keeps both herself and her subjects in mind when achieving her goals.

I figured this scene was the closest they could get to showing her as the swarm's mother on a kids show. All the other changelings are called "drones" and they've been depicted as essentially androgynous/intersexual males.

But who knows, maybe Vogel will retcon this away for being too sympathetic to Chrysalis, and we'll get explicit female/male drones which reproduce like regular mammals....how boring.
