So that's it, no coming back for the Alicorns or anypony then unless they are able to use a spell while they are souls to reform themselves and then kick the changelings butts then.

Sorry. I just really like it when they're gone forever. If you don't, that's alright too, but I won't change what I enjoy for someone else.

Based on chryssalis past succesrate im guessing the only thing she will get out of her dragon eating attemps is first hand knowlege that dragon digestion isnt nearly as plesant as changeling digestion.

Fantastic story btw

Glad that you did! I knew that you'd like the grand finale.

Heehe, oh yesh. X3 Heh, Poor Chrisi, beaten to the punch. =P

"And I, for one, welcome our new incect overlords"

“Curse that Thorax!” She muttered under her breath. “If I had known ponies loved to be consumed from the start, then my job would have been a lot easier. Oh well…at least there’s the dragon kingdom” Chrysalis remarked, licking her lips.

Dragons really chrysalis? Shouldn't you cast your eyes on a easier meal size? Like maybe Griffins?

8368691 My main issue isn't the permanence... it's that there's something missing in the whole scenario which ties it together.

I find myself asking certain questions: Why didn't Chrysalis ever use this clearly exceedingly effective method of conquest if her species was always capable of it? Why did Thorax appear so clearly to simply want this to be about mutual pleasure... then suddenly go on to conquest? Since Thorax and the rest have become Skittles Bugs, the reformation episode clearly took place... so why is he now apparently a cunning villain rather than the kindly, simple-minded dimwit?

I think I have a way to solve these issues: Chrysalis taking over and focusing on aggression turned them bit by bit into the black, hole-ridden bug monsters and removed their ability to get energy from swallowing ponies, since that would require the ponies to consent (because soul magic rules or whatever, anything like that instantly fixes the plotholes). Thorax would then be revealed to ALWAYS have had this cunning side and he wished to return to the old ways, but needed to overthrow Chrysalis.

He could explain this is a bit of an exposition-dump to Starlight, maybe in a prequel? And they could concoct the whole plan of his 'reformation' ahead of time, thus solving how the episode could still take place. And in return, Starlight (after being revealed as something of a vorarephile herself) would receive a long, slow devouring and digestion... maybe she'd want to enjoy being swallowed a number of times before melting away for good.

Now, all that's something you'd have to hint at in the first story and develop through this one, but it really would solidify the plotting.

Fun fact, Germany literally called it a "Food Orgy"

Though, we didn't use "Food", rather a word that means "to gulp or guzzle down food". Basically, eating hastily or sloppily.

Wow, that definitely does paint a different image.

Yeah, we got em swearing sometimes.

Y'know the time Fluttershy said "peeved"? She's actually pissed in the German dub.
