I'm a mad man. I'm a man of honor. I'm a sociopath. I'm a brony. For all my conflictions, I'm pretty stable, though you'll probably call me insane. That's fine, I enjoy it. I'm just hear to write.

Interesting.
Why Hidden Blizzard?
The feels are strong with this chapter.
You know, I always wondered when this premise would be turning up; the mane 6, all being changelings all along and embedding themselves into Equestria.
So, color me intrigued.
i worried that we haven't hit that dark tag yet, but other than that, excellent story. hoping for some more backstory as to how the mane six all met. faved.
This is the best "X is a changeling" fic I've read in a long time.
Favorited and upvoted.
I like it. I like it so far
You need to attribute your dialogue more, because in a lot of places it isn't very obvious who's talking. On top of that I keep seeing spelling errors. In fact this fic's best attribute is the sheer audacity of the concept, rather than execution.
I love how you're casting the changelings in a sympathetic light. They didn't attack out of malice, they were doing what they had to do to survive.
cool. and aslo very interesting
Oh yes, I am getting on board for this wild ride! A 'X is a changeling!' fic that feels fresh and new? Wheeee!
What I thought when I saw the cover art: Pinkie, with a horn and wings? Dear god, help us all. We're doomed. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I definitely will later!
*you're
But this looks interesting, can't wait to see where this goes. Though I hope it gets explained how their parents don't realize they're Changlings.
Interesting view on changelings over here. Upvoted. Waiting for plot to unfurl further.
P.S. Poor Celestia.
Moar.. Is... Needed...
Interesting concept. I have suspicions that Celestia may have known about changeling plot since before Nightmare Moon's return.
It makes too much sense to be a mere coincidence: five of Twilight's changeling friends live in the town of Ponyville. (Which is curious by itself, as Canterlot would seem to be the most logical point of changelings' infiltration plans). Celestia trusted Twilight absolutely, even knowing about her true nature, so she scheduled thousand's Summer Sun celebration to take place in Ponyville and sent her student to "make friends" there, knowing that it would be Equestria's best chance to see sunrise again. The result has probably exceeded her wildest expectations.
One thing that I noticed is that you tend to lack commas when you have one character address another in dialogue.
Ex:
Should be:
Otherwise, an interesting start to a story. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
The doublespeak is very amusing to me for some reason...
It's almost like they are all spies or something!
I'm still confused as to why they are taking this absurdly roudabout manner when it is apparant that the changlings are reasonable in this fic. While it wouldn't make as good a story, I have yet to see any reason they couldn't go into negotiations with Equestria and defeat ignorance with inteligence...
I've been waiting for a fic like this. If they behaved differently, the changlings could become accepted in pony society. While underhanded, this would be a great way of introducing the royalty to changlings in a different light. I'm deffinetly looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
Quite interesting story so far, favorited for the time seeing it is a rather fresh take on the 'X is a Changeling' genre.
Points that need further clarification: So are changelings (especially Twilight) born from pony parents (comparable to two non-unicorn ponies having a unicorn foal)? Are they born disguised then? Or did Twilight's mom do the naughty with a (potentially disguised) male changeling (distant unicorn and pegasi ancestors, yeah; we feel with you Mr. Cake).
It pisses me off how people can be so sympathetic towards changelings, but, meh... interesting story.
This... This amuses me greatly... Please, continue... Oh, you already have! Spiffing!
... Wow, a (semi) unique take on X is a changeling, and one that seems to be executed well and is interesting. Color me impressed! Tracked and liked!

What if they're all adopted?
Problem: The Element of Honestly.
Would it accept a creature living a lie?
Element of Generosity.
Would it accept a creature that steals love?
Element of Kindness.
Could changeling lifestyles be considered kind?
Magic, Loyalty, and Laughter would still work. But as we know, with even one missing they cease to function.
I can't help but feel "Hidden Blizzard" carries a meaning that will extend far, far beyond the action in Canterlot.
OMFG LOOK AT ANGLE! AHHH! TOO FUCKING CUTE!
Congrats on featuring, bro.
3105701 SILENCE! You know too much...
3104883 I'll try to keep that in mind from now on. Thanks.
This is very interesting, and I am looking forwards to seeing where it goes.
3105661 Keeping in mind that, as implied, all the mane 6 were still born and raised in Equestria, they're not actually living lies. Just wearing a different skin. Rarity is still the generous Rarity, and these ones don't actually steal love, since it's given to them freely by their family's. Lastly, Fluttershy is still Fluttershy. Cute and adorable. The Elements are still intact.

I know too much? No, no, friend, you're mistaken.
You know too little....

I have a feeling that if the invasion goes south like it does in canon, Cadence will step up and convince Celestia and Luna to at least give changelings a second chance, having learned Twilight's secret.
Then again, that might just be wishful thinking.
3106397
And you're wrong - In all honesty, nobody knows anything. Just as I planned.

XD I was drinking sweet tea when I got to this line. ...I wish I hadn't been. I now have sweet tea in my nostrils and my tear ducts from laughing so hard it butt-fucked my sinuses. XD Thanks for that...
"those whom resist."
Whom is incorrect in that sentence. It would be "those who resist."

Here's hoping.

I mean, they treated her well (even better than a standard prisoner of war, in fact), she's heard some of their history and knows they're acting for their own survival, and on top of it all her favorite filly was, is, and always will be one of them.
3106836
All of which is only making me more anxious for the next chapter to come out.
3106847
And on the flipside, if the invasion succeeds, Twilight & co. (and however many other pony-raised changelings) will probably work to make sure that changelings and ponies live peacefully together forever after.
To all of the people talking about the invasion, the author has been remarkably vague. The changelings in this story seem a whole lot more reasonable than the canon ones.(and more easy to sympathize with)
And to top it off: Who said anything about an invasion?

And now we await the invasion, for what its worth I feel like its going to be very different and oddly epic
3107132
"“I think we should plan a date to invade first,” Fluttershy wisely suggested."
Of course they are still kidnapping people, generally stealing children, and lying to everyone about everything which can color one's responses.
3101587 I regret to inform you that this premise (along with every other possible variation of changeling plots) has been done already
I've found that reading the first 3 paragraphs can generally tell me all I need to know about the impeding story. If they have few to no errors, then it has a high chance of being good. If there are a moderate amount, the story can usually be good but also require a proofreader. If the first sentence in the story is rife with errors, then it is obvious that the author didn't take time to reread his own material.
Trust me when I say this. That is not how you want a story to start out. People like myself are continuously evaluating your story and wondering if it is worth to spend time on. Many people will read that and immediately down-vote and forget about your story.
That being said, I read a bit more into it than I normally would have, and it was so OOC I just don't know what went wrong.
Good, good.
I like this.
I demand MOAR!!
3100666 Because I'm evil.

3103671 Fixed. Missed that one; thanks.
3105296 All things I intend to answer...when I damn well feel like it
. I will get to it soon enough though, don't worry.
3106397>>3106543 Boy you don't know nothin' 'till I tell you you know somethin'!
3106630
3106801 Also fixed. Trying too hard on that one I guess.
3107920 Edited. To be honest, I was less focused on that line, and more focused on wondering if I made Twilight too bitchy.
Hmm...pacing is a bit too fast.Should slow it down a bit,not laboriously, but enough that it doesn't feel like you're just jumping from one scene to the next.
Also I believe it's spelled 'Genius.' not 'Genious.'
