She went to a beautiful place, where everything is peaceful and everyone loves each other and no one ever gets sick... Do you think there's really a place like that?

Somehow, I have died. At least, that's as much as I can assume with my human form left behind, and with my new form inhabited.

I'm not quite sure just yet what I can do about that, or what I'm supposed to do about that. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

A Changeling that is born in the forest and not in the hive? You have me interested.

Consider me intrigued because so far I find this story interesting I hope to read more.

Thank you both for the interest! I've penned up another thousand words and am still considering when to drop them, and your intrigue has helped propel my motivation :) hope you like what's coming next!

Maybe it’s the original tree said to have given birth to them?

I’m happy to help

Oh cant wait to find Out in which time He is and If hes a Drone or a Queen.

Seems likely with the glowing green orbs.

New queens are always fun.

Good start to the story. I wonder what the scenario is going to be: human male to changeling queen? human male to changeling king? human female to changeling queen? or human female to changeling king? I didn't notice any mention as to character's gender.

Wow, that is supremely fucked up. He remembered it screamed. Most animals don't scream in fear, at least like we do. Disassociation or not, he went too far. I think other changelings would be horrified at his actions. Trauma and desperation can only account for so much. Dude is a monster.

Wow that got dark. Definitely a Queen it looks like and I bet the tree has all the drones still growing.

I love this worth the wait

Well that's not gonna help with any future positive relations with ponies.

That ... I did not expect that. Wait, is this ... is this a villain protag well fuck lets see where this goes.

Probably either Queen Chrysalis or a close relative of hers.

Cute, finally not alone.

I hope you expand upon the dissociation they experience more or less all the time. In the last chapter, they said that they feel like they are just piloting a mech/avatar with stats like HP hunger and water. Their actions are dedicated to what the body does and needs, not what the mind thinks. Their ego, the culmination of their entire life, is not in control. It is definitely something that SHOULD be expanded upon.

Yes indeedy, I do plan to detail this internal schism as the main thread throughout the story; that's why it's called Nature and Nurture, I want to pick apart the main characters mind and all of what comes naturally versus what has been learned and relearned :) ATM in the first few chapters there's a lot of expositing but once other characters are established there's going to be more focus put on how this guy feels/doesn't feel.

Good, because I just realized in this guy's current state, they are sentient but not completely sapient. Right now, they have some ability to think in this state, and they possess a lot of wisdom, especially since they come from a different world. But reason ... their body doesn't respond to reason very well, at least for now.

Also, this assumes that Mind, Spirit, and Body are things that you are using. The Mind is a new, fresh slate with no sense of right and wrong. The Body knows what it needs and how to get it the fastest. But the old Spirit, containing memories, knows what is right and wrong. It has morals, yet it does not know what the Body needs or how the Mind works. So the Spirit is cast aside for the sake of survival. Don't have them on this path for too long. Let the Spirit be crushed and forever forgotten.

In moments my little divet in the ground had evolved into a burrow, a little room only large enough for me to stand in comfortably. I beckoned the grub to get comfortable in the hole with me once more, laying on my side now. It made itself comfortable against my belly, curled up and eyes closed, ready to sleep. I, too, had to let myself slumber, mostly to give myself a break from the swirling thoughts of happiness and concern that assaulted me. These could be problems for me in the future; for now, I was tired, and far too afraid and unsure to make any decisions quite yet.

That sounds adorable loved this
