The Changeling hive, in my story at least, consists of various types of Changelings. Don’t read on if you’re scared of spoilers, though they’re none here. I think.

Still here? Good.
The Queen is the leader and mother to all the Changelings in her hive. She guides them, leads them, loves them and controls them in various degrees.
She can drain ponies of their love and emotion and if done severely enough, she can change them into Changelings instantly. She can use other ways too, that aren’t as painful for the intended victim.
She is irreplaceable, except by her heir, and if she were to die, the hive soon follows after.
The Drones are your standard, run of the mill Changelings. They have a consciousness but they prefer to blindly follow orders. They are pony-sized and have wings and a smooth curved horn.
The Soldiers are the Changeling invading forces’ bread and butter. They look the same as the drones and are the same size but they’re bulkier and more aggressive.
Behemoths are the tanks of the Hive. They’re muscular and giant Changelings, who rely on their strength to get things done. However, they are more inclined to defend than to attack.
They rarely, if ever leave the Hive, since they can’t transform into ponies because of their massive size. So instead their disguises are buffalos and other bulky creatures. Some are even bigger than that and have no viable creatures to disguise themselves as.
They’re two times as big as the biggest pony you can imagine (some are even bigger) and strong as bears. Some display a strange obsession with various kinds of headgear.
Praetorians are the Queen’s personal guards. Instead of relying on transformations to hide themselves, they use camouflage. There’s always at least two of them wherever the queen goes, hiding in plain sight, waiting for a threat to emerge. They are fast, strong and will die defending their queen.
Harvesters are Drones that have been forcibly cut off from the queen. They can act and handle independently for a few months. The queen sends them out into Equestria, where they will assume disguises. Sometimes they disguise themselves as the loved ones of certain ponies, taking their place for a few days or weeks to collect the love they have to give.
Other times they just take up a random disguise and attempt to start a relationship with a regular pony, to harvest the most amount of love. After they’ve collected enough love, they return to the hive and supply the queen with the love. She in turn spreads it to the rest of the hive. The Harvester is then reintegrated into the Hive mind and returns to his or her regular duties.
Converts are indistinguishable from other Changelings, though some of them tend to talk back when given an order, instead of just nodding. They used to be ponies that were drained of all of their love.

I’ve based most of these classes on insects. Mostly ants to be honest. I hope they make some sort of sense.

Well I've stayed up far too late reading this. I am definitely, definitely looking forward to Twilight returning to her friends, because I know that they'll be incredibly conflicted about the whole thing. On the one hand, she's still Twilight. On the other... GIANT TALKING EMOTION-EATING BUG! 
Poor Twilight...
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
Changeling!Twilight has been in my headcanon ever since that the Royal Wedding episode aired. And now, only now, do I see Changeling!Twillight in fanfics.
Let me say this: There's a distinct possibility that you're going to end up starting the next Alicorn Twilight clichè. And that would be awesome.

Well, that feels a little like sacrificing Celestia on the Altar of Making Chrysalis Likeable. It'd be different if Celestia has had reasons to act like she did, but if not, it's just switching the role of the villain around. I understand trying to change Chrysalis to be less unmotivatedly evil; but having Celestia act like the Changeling Queen remembers, without an explanation, just makes her act unmotivatedly evil.
personally i would put chrysalis as the same type of godlike being as celestia maybe just a smidgen weaker. she is the leader of her subjects and i would write off the only reason her mother died was because she starved to death feeding chrysalis and her children shortly after the transformation
>>940181 I can not believe I left it like that! It's supposed to be 'out of her way'
And damn, that's one hell of a review. I understand what you mean with Luna and Blueblood. They are a bit too chummy perhaps but I wanted to depict that they are very close. Luna's seclusion meant that she spend most of her time in the castle. Blueblood on the other hand just doesn't want to go out much either, because he feels that everypony's just looking at his title. So I felt it would be likely for them to grow close, real quick. If that makes any sense...
The pylons thing was a bit meta, I know. I've just been thinking of the Changelings as the Zerg in this story for some reason and Unicorns, in general, as the Protoss. The pylon was a reference to that 
And the plot... well, I have no excuse for that. I just like using that to mentions butts. Asses and other words just seem so out of place.
About the edit, I won't say anything about the ending yet 
but I do understand your point. I will keep them in mind. Thanks for taking the time to analyze these kind of things. They help me write a better story 
My story of finding this Fic
*Opens FimFiction*
*See's Twilight as a Changleling for a Picture of a Fic*
"Cool!"
*Clicks*
24 Hours Later
And here i am now 
But in all seriousness this FanFic is Just Plain AMAZING i am stuck with so many questions!
I have 2 guesses at why these take awhile to update
1. Translating stuff to english?
2. Overall making this thing just PWN
Nuff Said
>>937448 well, the dark tag is there for a reason. But I'm not planning on randomly killing off characters. This site needs a 'light-dark' tag or something.
>>937468 I'll be adding an alt ending that may just tickle your fancy 
>>937512 Maybe...
>>937555 That... was actually unintentional. But still a good thing I suppose.
>>937674 Oh no, that's not the twist at all! 'throws away old script without anyone noticing' Nah, it's going to be awesome and not cliché at all (I hope), that's all I'm saying here.
>>937785 They haven't left yet 
>>937908 Nah, ants are more interesting. Did you know there are species of ants that attack other species, steal their eggs and take them back to raise them as slaves?
>>937942 That'd be cool. I love Alicorn!Twilight but we need new, fresh ideas to keep things interesting.
>>938979 well, this Chrysalis is in fact mortal. She just lives a whole lot longer than ponies. If she was immortal, then she wouldn't need an heir, right?
>>938988 Well, you'll have to wait to find out
>>939330 Maybe, if they fit in the story
>>940808 I thought the same, though one thing kind of bothered me. The ponies were terrified of Zecora whenever she went into town, even though she's pretty much the same as them, just with stripes. But when Gilda came to town, nopony flinched. You'd think they fear a gryphon more than a zebra. But that's just what I think.
>>940916 I tend to write tidbits in Dutch, my native language, and then I start to write in English. It takes longer to write because I need time to figure out how to write down what I want to portray in the story.
>>940959 I think I'm going to elaborate on their relationship some more in the story.But here's the gist of it: the Blueblood in my story is just more reserved than the canon one, because he feels like everypony's just in it for his title (Pretty much just a way to male him seem like less of a d*****). He typically spends his days at home, studying maps and texts and the like. Luna on the other hand has been reclusive up until Nightmare Night and was at the castle too, so they spend a lot of time together. If that makes any sense at all...
>>940974 There's a book? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?! I loved the movie, so I'll have to look into that.
>>941559 That was kinda unintentional 
Still funny though. Maybe I should write a scene with a behemoth and his forbidden love, the sandvich
>>941906 Sure, let me know when you post it
The book came first; it was published in the 1950s. Be aware, though, it's completely and utterly different from the movie because the author, Robert Heinlein, wrote it less as an action-fest and more about the ideals about why we fight wars and why they are sometimes necessary. The movie's director, Paul Verhoeven, basically shat all over the entire premise of the book and turned it into a campy parody of patriotism.
So yes, there's a book, and it's about a thousand times better than the movie. But it's also different so don't go in expecting nothing but battle scenes; there are a few, but most of the book is about the concepts of duty, patriotism, and the reasons for war. However, if you like exploring new ideas and well-written scenes that explore an often-overlooked portion of human experience, then you'll like it whether you agree with it or not.

>>946194 Chrysalis dropped the name 'Starlight' after past-Celestia and her past friends denouced her. It also seems that in her grief and anger she started to intentionaly distance herself from "being Starlight" as it caried to much pain for her. So in a sense, as was stated in the memory Starlight did "die".
This is a fantastic story thus far. You've not only managed to make a changeling race that justifiably exchanges babies with their own, you also made Blueblood, King of the One-Dimensional Asshats, into a well-rounded, believable character. That alone is enough for commendation. As it is, I'm eagerly looking forward to more.
What i originally asked was "Something that has been confusing, though i may have read library part wrong, is if chrysalis is starlight... then why is everypony saying no living changeling was born a pony except for Converts. 
" and if you would have read that It probably would have sounded better, jumping into a conversation without hearing the whole story then calling somebody a ass because you didn't read a bit at the very beginning is kinda being a jerk. And i did read Starlight is Chrysalis, i was asking because people were saying There was NO living changeling that was born a pony EXCEPT for converts, see the continuity problem that can make anypony get confused? Also your kinda calling me a ass for a error in a story 
*Waits for pleaseworkforonce to reply*
"I am Heavy Weapons Changeling. And THIS *shakes giant horn* is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilos and fires custom tuned magical lasers at 500 rounds per minute. It costs 200,000 grams of love to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds.
*laughing*
Oh my Chrysalis who touched Sasha? Alright. WHO TOUCHED MY HORN?
Some ponies think they can outsmart me. Maybe, *sniff* maybe. I have yet to met one that can outsmart laser.
*firing laser at ponies* WHAAAAA WHAAAAAAA AHAHAHAHA! CRY SOME MORE!
*laser stops* Heh heh, cry some more."
>>942125 Thanks for the complements And the picture, really cool.
>>943083 Learn something new everyday In my language, we just use one word for both, so I figured the two were interchangeable.
>>945006 I'll have to check that one out some time. If I can find it here.
>>949205 Chrysalis did that for her.
>>951549 could be one week, could be two. I'm writing as fast as I can 
>>953042 now, if I could just find a way to put that in in a believable way...
>>948209 twilight was replaced with a real foal so was chyrlisis
also i did read that part and your question was still answered more than once in the story as i said and your questions was still very very badly worded and would make more sense if that was your first question actually
You are honored, Failure To Understand a Simple question or a troll. Ok... You really need to learn what logic is. You clearly do not see my point, If Chrysalis was born a Pony she wasn't replaced with a real foal, and if Chrysalis is starlight THEN SHE WAS BORN A PONY AND NOT BORN A CHANGELING. And it actually wasn't answered i was asking why everypony was saying Chrysalis was Starlight yet that EVEN IN THE STORY Chrysalis said no changeling was born a pony, so my answer couldn't have been answered in the story, it was a mistake people in this comments section was making. There was a error so i had a valid question, and i didn't need your opinion in the first place, OK? And how would have it made more sense if it was my first question. There was a chain of questions that can't be switched around to make more sense.
Ya know, Please shut up and listen to what i have to say. If Chrysalis Was Swapped With a Ordinary Foal She Wouldn't Have The Memory Of Going To Celestia To Ask For Help, and knowing she is starlight. yet the story states there is no living changeling that was born a pony.
WILL SOMEPONY NOTICE MY LOGIC?
Why wouldn't she have such a memory? If her story went anything like Twilight's, then she got swapped as a baby, lived a normal pony life for a while, then got revealed as a Changeling. After that, her friends (or Changeling impostors) rejected her, including that scene where Princess Celestia (or a Changeling impostor) called her a monstrosity and kicked her out of the city. Now could you please stop telling people to shut up and TALKING IN ALL CAPS?

Don’t read on if you’re scared of spoilers, though they’re none here.
"they're" should be "there are".
She guides them, leads them, loves them and controls them in various degrees.
"in" should be "to".
She is irreplaceable, except by her heir, and if she were to die, the hive soon follows after.
"soon follows" should be "would soon follow".
There’s always at least two of them wherever the queen goes, hiding in plain sight, waiting for a threat to emerge.
"There's" should be "There are".
They are fast, strong and will die defending their queen.
"fast" and "strong" should be separated by an "and" instead of a comma. (This is because "will die defending their queen" doesn't fit the list structure established by the comma.)
Wait a tic... they were created from ponies by Discord's power?
The very same power that the Element's of Harmony can COMPLETELY ERASE INSTANTLY AND RETURN THINGS BACK TO NORMAL?
Well, I think I've just solved the problem with the counterspell. In fact, they don't even need it!
