What a twist! Darn you M Night Shamalyn.

I'm laughing so hard right now. :rainbowlaugh: Ah, Discord, best villain, of course you did that. :pinkiesmile:

heheh, that was wonderful. ^^

2774109 how do we know he isn't Discord in disguise?:pinkiegasp:

Ah, some good old fashioned Discord! Gotta love it.

And Twilight's inner monologue about morality was a nice touch, as it highlighted the double standard that knee-jerk, suicidal pacifists often blither about. They argue "love and peace!" like it's an exercise, a debate they can just walk away from when they get bored, not realising that "agree to disagree" doesn't hold up in the face of real issues that must be handled with some kind of action.

Ahem, tangent there. Bravo on a nice little story!

Very nice! :D Classic Discord action :twilightsheepish:

2774272 Because it would make sense, and since when does Discord ever make sense?! :twilightoops: :pinkiegasp: :facehoof:

Well played.

2774758 You're right! That makes sense...or it doesn't.. YOU could be discord....or you couldn't.... :rainbowderp: Darn you, Chaos, darn you.

Oh, you clever clever bastard. I love that twist. Just loved it.

Actually, kinda made me recall that one fic with the necromancer. THAT'S a good fic, too.

It's funny that you guys keep calling it a twist because I didn't think of it that way when I was writting it. I just had the idea that one of the ponies should try to help the changelings. Since Changelings feed on ponies (or other sentients) the only real solution from the ponies perspective would be to turn them into something else.
Of course, none of the ponies have that kind of power (as far as we know), but Discord does. And didn't Celestia say she had something for him to do? Then it occured to me that he would technically be making the Changelings extinct, and well... it's Discord.

2775278 You made a mistake in the title....:facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof:

Thanks for pointing that out. Apparently I didn't understand apostrophe rules as well as I thought I did.

2774758 But if it doesn't make sense for him to make sense, he'd still do it just for making no sense by making sense!

2778417 And THAT makes sense! See the problem?! :twilightoops:

2778436 But it doesn't make sense for Discord to make sense, which means by making sense he'd be doing something that didn't make sense, which means he's still not making sense, an therefor being himself.

2778448
2778436
Both of you stopped making sense quite awhile ago.

2778460 And Discord would be proud.

2774272
Discord is competent.

So the general rule I seem to see is there's some sort of relation between Changlings and Flutterponies. Is that a fan thing or just dumb luck I've come across?

2784282
I haven't seen anyone else linking them before. I chose the form because I figured that changelings would become cute when they were changed into something more pony-like and they would want to keep some part of their insectile nature.

:facehoof:I need a stiff, hard drink right now. . .

i always thought the best way to deal with the changeling thing was a sort of symbiosis. like, having ponies willingly give them the love they need in exchange for safety from the changelings themselves

Depends on what 'feeding on love' actually entails. If it causes little to no direct harm to the subject then that could work, but in my conception it causes pain during the feeding and extended weakness after. Extended periods of feeding could cause the victim to cease caring about others. (I keep on imagining that Diamond Tiara's butler is actually a changeling)

2894039 Diamond Tiara's butler being a changeling is now part of my head cannon forever. I hope your happy, because I am! Oh and good story I guess...
Nah just playing, this is a great short!

It is a fairly common idea. Many fans decided to take on the belief that earlier generations of My Little Pony correspond to earlier points in the history. Using this hypothesis, you have to account for the disappearance of species in previous generations (namely flutterponies and seaponies) and the appearance of new 'tribes' in FiM (namely changelings, thestrals/batponies and crystal ponies) so it is convenient to say that the flutterponies were cursed into becoming changelings (both have insect features to varying degrees). And from there it has become a not uncommon belief that the two 'tribes' are connected.

Discord certainly has a way with words. If you could get him to promise not to screw you over, make him your lawyer!

I suppose it was rather mean for the Princess of Friendship not to invite him, though!

Discord certainly has a way of saying things... I LOVE IT! :D

Brilliant, Mon capitain...

"I think what Twilight is trying to say is..." Celestia paused

(and put on sunglasses)

"...Next time, go with the pudding."

YEEEEEEEaaaaaaaaah!
