Upcoming Horizon viewing opportunity · 3:38am Oct 17th, 2017

First of all: Belatedly spookifying my avatar for the Nightmare Night season. Thanks to Cursed Quill for the photogrobviously photoshopped artist's rendition!

The past ~7 days have been a blogworthy madhouse, and I hope I can find the time to blog about them. But in the meantime, check Bad Horse's blog if you're angling for near-future Horizon sightings: I'm going to go join in on the Evil League Of Evil meeting which I am going to continue insisting is called "BadHorseCon 2017". I might also be trying to get to the Bay Area as early as Thursday, or stay there as late as Saturday, if more goings of ons are planned. I haven't worked out the logistics on that yet, I just know that it's a 7+ hour round trip and I'd rather commit to more than just a single dinner if I'm going to make the drive.

If you want to join in on the meetup fun, RSVP on Bad Horse's blog. If you want to drag me into dark places and feed me candied saudade hang out, and/or you're a Bay Area brony who might be willing to spot an overnight guest in exchange for a drunken pony Tarot reading or two, hmu here or by PM.

Darn. Just when I'm leaving! Some other time.

Of course that's a photoshopped rendition. We all know you turned into a rainbow bug-deer.

There's a 0% chance that I can escape to Redwood city… but hit me up if you want to drop in for lunch Thursday or Friday :trixieshiftleft:

bruuuuuh

Forget norcal.

Come down to SoCal in November for Eqla and crash at my place (It's 10 minutes from the con). I and my friends will be throwing some legendary parties.

Oooh! Your avatar is spooky! :pinkiegasp:

All the pretty colors are missing. :trollestia:

justfly.com has super cheap flights. It's what I use.

Bah! I can't even afford to go to Nightmare Nights this month, and it's only a few hours drive away.

Sadly, I doubt I will ever have a horizon sighting. I kinda, sorta live in central Wisconsin, so you're super far from me.

Yes, yes he did. That begs the question, though. Do Changelings ever turn into old-style changelings?

I kind of like the idea that choosing to share love and everything didn't physically change them. He (then they) changed to something colorful and silly looking on their own to get the ponies on board with the idea they'd changed inside. They overshot what was necessary, but now it's too late for them to fix it without giving away the game.

Yeah.

That also brings me another question, do Changelings still need to eat love to survive? If so, do they take what is freely given by others, or do they just produce enough that the excess feeds them?

Well, According To Canon™ (or at least S7E17):

Starlight Glimmer: But now that the changelings don't feed on the love of everything around them, plants have started to grow back.

Pharynx: But they were lurking on our grounds! In the old days, I would've already feasted on their love.
Thorax: Well, that's why they're called the "old days", because they're old. We don't do that anymore.

Thorax: There've been a lot of changes since you were here last. (…) theatre, swing dancing, a once-a-week potluck lunch.

Changeling 3: My soup's too hot!

Starlight Glimmer: (…) Well, it's his brother out there, and now it's your chance to prove you're just as strong embracing love as you were feeding on it! 

So, sherbet changelings are repeatedly shown to be subsisting on regular food and not emotions. This is undeniable proof that, even if you have an irrational belief that someone is a changeling, you should feel completely comfortable experiencing tasty, tasty emotions around them.

Yeah, I’ve kinda blocked that episode from my memory. But I suppose, then, that the whole transformation into a bug-horse was just a side effect of the change to a whole new digestive system!

I still like the old-style Changlings, though.
