The Times They Are A Changeling

Dear Diary,

So we take a day to visit the Crystal Meth Empire.

What does Fax Machine do? He goes and makes friends with a copier.

Go figure.

7548795 Yes it did.

[Bahamut Omega]

So Spike unwittingly caused Starlight and Sunburst a case of coitus interruptus.

7548855 It could've been worse.

7548800 I think we can all agree that this episode was the WORST of the show, though. Right?

[NobodieZ]

7548875 Well in my opinion, I rather enjoyed the Foster's version of this story than the MLP version. Mostly because Foster's didn't spoil the plot of the episode.

I see what you did there miles. You sly devil

[Aariadon]

OK I have to admit some of the chapters feel forced to me, but this one is great. Good job on nailing it and keeping it short and sweet.

[Red Bomber]

I thought you would have some letters about Thorax, like Chrysalis begging him to come back or Thorax being creeped out by Twilight trying to do him. But it seems like the second one isn't likely.

[Spartan-Guy 88]

Dear Thorax,

Hi there. Word came around from an alternate dimension the you've experienced discrimination and bigotry based on what species you are. We've also heard that despite a significant uphill battle, you've managed to win over the hearts of the citizens of a whole empire who have previously thought you were nothing but trouble; but now you wonder: What now?

Let me and my friend tell you:
YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Yes, my friend comes from an alien race who lived on a massive flotilla of space ships because they have fled their home planet because of a syntheic machine race they've created gained self awareness and wen to war with. As a result they have been considered scavengers and vagrants by the majority of the galaxy of her dimension. Now however, after she played a crucial role in saving said Galaxy, she is now an admiral of that fleet rebuilding their home planet.

I myself come from another dimension where the animals have the run of the world. I'm a member of the species many considered untrustworthy and conniving. I became this because of a particularly traumatizing moment in my cubhood involving some bullies with those prejudiced beliefs. Now, thanks in no small part to someone that I have grown very much attached to (We just started dating), I am now a police officer for the city's police department.

So, Thorax, we are extending an invitation to a Dimensional Species Annonymus group support meeting being overseen by the entities known as Discord and Deadpool. We would love to have you there.

Sincerely,
Nick P. Wilde

My dearest Mistress Princess Twilight Sparkle,

Here is that photograph you ordered me to retrieve from your mysterious blackmailer.

Simple, yet beautiful.

[FanOfMostEverything]

Well, depending on what spells Twilight knows, Spike may already work for a scanner...

This episode showed how horrid a Princess of Friendship Twilight is. Any chance for a friendship is tossed out the window and she fucks the situation up, until someone else tells her to give it a try, then she is made sovereign over the vague relationships she never tried? This is a fun chapter, a sweet episode, but the show is on it's downhill spiral with things making less sense all the time.

[Iron Comet]

That comic with Spike and the Changeling. He's a dude man, a dude!

[Streakofscarlet]

That last image.

Spike and Thorax are human.

Rarity isn't.

[pootdispencer]

7550413 i know right, i mean its not like changelings brainwashed her brother or kidnapped her childhood foulsitter or taken down her mentor or tried to put a wedge between her from her friends or tried to take over the kingdom.

[articunos bitch]

7557608 Chrysalis is not Thorax.
On another note, this would have been a golden opportunity to show the 'Lings as victims of Celestia somehow. Show them as misunderstood and no different from ponies. DHX said No. I can forgive a show aimed at seven year-old's if it doesn't hold my attention, but not because of lazy writing. This could have been plucked from the mediocre bowels of FimFiction from Autumn 2012 and no-one would have noticed.

[pootdispencer]

7558118 I'm aware but Twilight had no other interaction other than the wedding with changelings, Chrysalis' action might as well reflect on the changelings as far as Twilight is concern. Not to mention the only interaction she had with the changelings (not including Chrysalis) was when they tried to beat the crap out of her while impersonating her friends. Can Twilight really be blame for immediately distrusting Thorax?

7574608 Dear god. Savage.

Well done!
