Welcome to Ponyville's first Changeling War Reenactment. Everpony is welcome to join in the festivities, just as long as you don't forget to bring your costume.

What happens if you forget the costume?

5982908 No costume no entrance. :twilightsheepish:

As a Civil War re-enactor (they're uniforms, not costumes!) I am intrigued as to where this may be headed. I've got ten-thousand "Farby" scenarios going through my head related to brutal slaughterings of the accepted history that I've seen at plenty of re-enactments, but I'll leave it to you.:raritywink:

5983166 Hey, any tips and ideas you got will be greatly appreciated. :twilightsmile:

We feed you to Fluttershy's bear.

I have yet to see a fic where Lyra wants to become a Seapony/Merpony, despite all the artwork for both.

10 Bits says Twilight loses because she doesn't fit the popular portrayal of her role during the battle rather than her actual role in the battle.

10 bits says that she's in danger of losing because she has wings.

“Nice armor by the way, it’s so shinny.”

I tried to find a video on youtube that was a clip from one of the Simpsons horror movies with the irish guy talking about bart's 'shin' but there wasn't any.

“The award for the best Twilight Sparkle look-alike would be the rare and on of a kind Book of Arcane Magic: Spells and Rituals!”

on of a kind? Wha?

Boo Pinkie, you're going to ruin the fun of all those ponies who worked so hard on their costumes!

5994155 Good point. Twilight should enter the Cadance look-alike contest, as the only alicorn she would have a huge advantage. (Of course, then she'd have to do the reenactment where she kisses some stallion made to look exactly like her brother, but I think Twilight could learn to live with that. :raritywink: )

Also, surprised Spike didn't order his armor from Fillydelphia, if there is any city in Equestria that knows Dragon costumes, I would think they would be the ones.

5998559 Gracias, amigo. :twilightsmile:

Certainly feels like changelings, if everypony is going to be dressed up as them.

I'm gonna bet that everyone will tell Twilight that her costume needs work.

the ponies who were there came so that they relieve history or watch it unfold in front of them.

relive

“So….uhh…Luna, what brings you here?”

“So..uhh…who are you going ask?”

6004117 Many thanks, again. :twilightsheepish:

It means no one is gonna think it's really you Twi.

And a mysterious sponsor comes to host the games from then on, known only by her amazing Queen Chrysalis costume and no less talented changeling actors.

Even better for her, they'll all think she's just an actor.

Oh my god, this is makes me laugh inside. Luna is forcing Queen Chrysalis to challenge for the title of Queen Chrysalis.

6041930 And hopefully (though quite unlikely) Chrysalis takes to the Cider like Joffrey takes to wine.

...That's hilarious. I can only imagine what it would feel like to be found by one of your mortal enemies, only for them to challenge you to a drinking competition. A bit odd though, no normal pony would be as large as Luna, but it's funny so who cares?

6043150 That's a little more... disturbing than I would have imagined.

6043328 Sorry about that. :twilightblush:

I knew Chrysalis was going to be caught and thought for wearing a costume.

Since the word 'generous' was mentioned, I'm gonna guess Rarity is who she's going to. It could be anyone though.

:rainbowderp::rainbowderp::derpyderp2::pinkiecrazy::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

The Queen has lost before it truly began.

Alcohol has a stronger effect if you haven't eaten. Chryssie was literally days from starving to death and just drank the strongest alcoholic drink in Ponyville.

Light drinker hey? I'm surprised Chrysalis' thoughts wasn't more along the lines of: "What in the world is going on here? Better just roll with it"

6119574
Damn I feel bad now. I pry she can retry on after being well-fed. I doubt being well-fed, yet there will be people admire her even if she is not playing her part.

So, what's more fun than a starving changeling queen at a party?
A drunken starving changeling at a party!

I'd hope the empty-calories of the alcohol would help keep her alive a little longer, anyway. If changelings are able to derive nutrition the way ponies do, instead of subsisting entirely on emotions.

This is getting fun, I wonder what Chrysalis will think when she sees them all out in the open. I do wonder why that changeling just took what Pinkie said at face value though.

Funnily enough the number of words in this chapter 1648 is the same year as the end of the 30 Years War, and the tile of a Sabaton song about the final battle of that war.

And it seems like this reenactment may get as messy as the 30 Years War.

I hope the drones don't realize Chrysalis is really Luna until the very end.

This reenactment will be a glorious trainwreck! :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

"the usually rules" should be "the usual rules". "Usually rules" should only be used if "rules" is being used as a verb, not a noun.

im already praying for the poor changelings that are about to charge into the enemy, god speed! :rainbowdetermined2:

7169956 God speed indeed. :yay:

It lives, and the glorious trainwreck approaches! :pinkiehappy::rainbowdetermined2:

I'd be more worried about the ponies that aren't actually trying to hurt anyone than the changelings who were literally just told by their "queen" that they are fighting for their very lives.

7170574

yeah but think about WHO they are going against, the ponies of ponyville, thats like green beret level of their society

7170574 Good point, but remember the changlings are absolutely starving and out of magic. It's like a fight between human reenactors and unit of national guardsmen with no ammunition, who haven't eaten or slept for several days. Actually a pretty fair fight.

prince blueblood has a body comparable to that of a filly? wut? :applejackconfused:

7208130 No, he's winning because he's a prince, even though he's not very accurate.

Rarity, Twilight, the book doesn't matter anymore. Take a picture of Blueblood and either hold it over him for the rest of his life or use it to black mail him. It's a win not matter what happens.
