Pharynx is best changeling. CHANGE MY MIND.

I’m watching gameplay of My Friendly Neighborhood · 4:25pm Jul 22nd, 2022

And I can’t get over how the protagonist acts almost exactly like Pharynx. Hell, he even kinda sounds like him too.

Oh that's cool

Watched a play through to get what you meant. From the first line spoken (in game) I heard it. It’s lacking in some lines later on (mostly the growl), but most of the time I can hear it (with or without it).

Oh my god.

Gordon. GORDON.

(And Ricky is my favourite character, now. He probably represents Pharynx’s interaction with every other Changedling ever)

I know, right?

He really does. The fact that Ricky is a sentient sock puppet and yet Gordon talks to him like he’s a regular human being makes it funnier.

I feel like Pharynx would make a pretty decent horror game protagonist. Especially in someone like Gordon’s situation.

I think the trend of MLP creepypastas died out long before Pharynx (and by extension Thorax, but Thorax’s position in the show has put him in a plushy little ravine of r/im14andthisisdeep angst/horror fics, regardless) was ever created.

Shame, seeing as I could either see Pharynx in the protag/victim role like Rainbow Dash in Cupcakes, or a psychopathic spiral role like Cheerilee in Cheerilee’s Garden. The Smile music video could also work, lol.

That, or Pharynx suddenly transforms into Indiana Jones, or even Ethan from Resident Evil (despite him sounding/acting more like scrap metal daddy Heisenberg).

Also, I can imagine Thorax writing something similar to the “Studio Rules” we see in the game, for Pharynx to follow around the Hive.

I actually used to have a Pharynx horror fic in the works. It focused on him going on a patrol outside the hive at night with some unseen creature lurking in the darkness. I never really posted it because, as much as a horror fanatic I can be, I’ve never really been good at writing horror myself.

I have to say, seeing Pharynx strapped to Pinkie’s table would be quite a sight. I’d probably read it only for the changeling anatomy puns lmao.

This is something I’ve got to see.

This feeling is mutual. I’ve never really had any personal inclination to write horror/thriller, nor do I have any idea how to start. Thriller—psychological, anyway—has always been something I’ve wanted to attempt, but I’ve never had a clue on where to begin.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of Thorax’s bedpost. NOT IN THAT WAY. OH GOD.

Just Thorax, instead of Pinkie. Like how The Rainbow Factory ended up with Scootaloo and RD. Y’know, being siblings ’n’ all.

This is something I’ve got to see.

Unsurprisingly, it could either be something cutesy, or horror.

But, hey, hmu on the idea of you want.

One user said that people who are scared easily are the best horror writers. Since I’m someone who usually goes looking for horror, that could be why I’m not getting that spark of inspiration.

Lmao. Pretty sure that wouldn’t stop other writers. :trollestia:

Not gonna lie, that’d be quite sad. Then again, I’ve read a few fics of Pharynx still being loyal to Chrysalis.

It could be both. Or it could be all “this looks innocent… oh wait.” DDLC did it, after all.

But it’ll stop us! :trollestia:

I’ve read a fic where Thorax is Chrysalis.

You know, I’ve always admired writers who can think up a scenario like that and be able to successfully pull it off without it feeling like a stretch. The same could be said for the opposite. :twilightsmile:

Same here. It’s one of my favorite types of horror, especially when done right. :yay:

I’ve actually never seen it done for horror—care to point me in the direction of a fic including it?

Well, in terms of non-MLP, there’s Doki Doki Literature Club. A horror game in the style of a romantic visual novel. The horror elements don’t really show up until one actually plays the game. And when they do show, they show a lot.

In terms of MLP fics, there’s a few horror fics that tend to have innocent-looking covers and description, but the story itself can get pretty damn disturbing once you look deep enough.

Here’s one of my favorites (spoilers in the comments):

Read it. You’re right, that was good. Slow burn, too, which I enjoy(ed).

What description would this hypothetical fic have?

Thorax writes Pharynx a list of dos and don’ts.? Thorax writes a list. Pharynx reads it.? (Cue cute cover photo of Thorax clapping his hooves together from Triple Threat)

5674458
No clue lol.

There’s another changeling fic I’m thinking of writing that has a planned cover art. (not involving Pharynx though. A different changeling.) I’ll show it to you in PMs if you’d like

5674463
I would like. I’d like a lot.
