The Draconequus of Notre Mare - Villian or Villian? · 9:55pm Aug 8th, 2015
Hey guys. Listen, I've been racking my brain on this for a while so im just going to give it to you straight. I'm questioning whether if Chrysalis really should be Frollo here.
When I first started writing I wanted to do something different, I wanted to explore the villains character more then they did in the film, plus I'm a big fan of Chrysalis, so I chose her.
However the more I got into it I found it harder and harder to really work with Chrysalis in the story. Like who she is and whats her story. now I do have one for her however i'm not sure if it really fits into the story setting.
And don't even get me started trying to figure out how to work the sexual tension of Frollo and Esmeralda with Chrysalis and Fluttershy. Especially when I comes to reworking Hellfire to fit the set up.
The point is that I've been having trouble with Chrysalis as the villain, and this is why I've come to you. My readers.
I want your thoughts on her as the villain.
Does she work? Is her character believable? Or should I go back and change her to another villain?
I do have one in mind if so:
But please, tell me what your think. I would really appreciate it.
Ink~
I know how much you've struggled with this ink n neither of us has been able to rework the hellfire song so I think you should reedit it to sombra but thats just me
What if you were to add Sombra and he overthrown Chrysalis and was the villain the whole time? What I'm saying is that: what if everything Chrysalis did was actually what she was told to do by Sombra? What if Chrysalis was just a puppet to Sombra?
go with Sombra
I like the idea of King Sombra as Frollo instead of Chrysalis.
I think Sombra could work well.

I do like this idea too, that way you don't have to change the story too much OR you could stick with Chrysalis all the way through. The reason why I like Chysalis as the Frollo villain of this story is because the main characteristic of Frollo is that he is a flawed human villain who doesn't think he's a villain. He's a crusader leader character who thinks he's doing the right thing. But like the Catholic crusaders in history from our point of view, they were villains that killed many people and were forcing people against their will to follow a religion they didn't believe in. He has strengths but most importantly he has prominent weakness. Weaknesses leading to his downfall. Weaknesses he tries to fight. That's what makes him a flawed human. So far, your Chrysalis is displaying all these characteristics. In terms of Hellfire and Lust, I can imagine Chrsyalis seeing Fluttershy as a pure saintly character like her mother. Yet at the same time, Chrsyalis soon yet slowly develops a lustful attraction to Fluttershy's looks. It may be Fluttershy's innocence that draws her in, but it's Fluttershy's appearance and bottling up her attraction to this mare body that sends Chrysalis into her crazy lustful rampage. She has to fight not only the contradicting images of Fluttershy in her mind, but the fact that she's attracted to a female and to her that's not natural and it's against her religion and she's considers that a sin. And she doesn't want to be a sinner. She won't see herself as a sinner.
3306685 That's actually very close to what I had been thinking.
The idea is that Chrysalis kind of sees her deceased mother in Fluttershy and because of her unresolved feelings with the death of her mother, through the strange realm of psychology - which I don't really understand myself - she desires Fluttershy for reasons she cant really explain.
It's just I was hesitant to try and write that because it deals with psychology and I haven't really tried to write something like that before.
But what do you think?
