That dance is going to do something big if it's left to it's own ending...
Celestia, your sister has had an opportunity to revisit her past and inspire the next generation. Do you have any old pursuits you'd like to pick up again? There's something in the wind these days, 'tis a time to launch new ventures. Or revive long forgotten ones.
I hear flying is a wonderful experience.
I wonder what would happen if Midnight change her hunger for knowledge to the kinky department.
Ask Princess Twilight: Your human counterpart is gradually deepen her research into the intimate activities. How about you?
I kind of hope this is the last in the arc because I keep getting the earworm whenever this updates.

Earworm.... Or some other type of worm like thing?
9427855 Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Interesting fact: when planning this out, I went through all the different ways a parasitic worm could get into someone's head.
Around the eye: would likely lead to ocular nerve damage as the parasite burrows along beside it. Loss of vision, etc.
Back of the throat/nasal cavity: Lots of pain, blood leaking into throat (taste?) as well as loss of another sense (smell).
Ears: sever damage to hearing. If it goes in through the ear, that ear will likely be destroyed in the process. Pain, disorientation, lots of blood.
Scalp: lots of heavy bone to get through. Skulls are hard.
Back of neck: soft, no skull, no major nerve clusters to deal with. Potential for infection is high, but about the same as other locations.

The ear part is one of the things that always partially broke the suspension of disbelief in Animorphs
9427887 A few years ago I had a middle-ear infection. It got worse and worse and then I sneezed in the shower. The added pressure of there being water in the ear canal did the job and I blew a hole through the drum. I can assure you that even if that was all a parasite did to get inside your head, you would not be able to ignore it, and would be at a hospital (assuming you can walk straight).
9427892
Yeah, I can imagine would not be fun, or easily repeatable
9427895 The key part of all this that was absolutely essential was stealth. Anything that would tip the host off that they had a problem was not going to cut it. Rainbow Dash going to the hospital on that first day because she's half blind/can't hear/tastes blood would have led to a series of checks that would have discovered her passenger right away.
When writing these kinds of critters, I like to imagine them from an evolutionary view. Could they actually exist? How to make it such that they could exist?
9427903
Yeah. Superbugs like Mrsa show that things are evolving around our current medical abilities, parasites that are stealth like this one, would be better selected as you say :)
Interesting, Twilight is infatuated with Marble?
Heh, Zephyr should be the one kicked out to live in a tent! We'd even be gracious enough to set it up for him!
To Adagio: figured out the problem yet?
Keep going! ;)

Hehe, don't worry, they squirt neurotoxin to kill the pain, and also all creatures in that universe capable of infestation have a direct connection tube to the brain from the ear! Don't worry about chemical physiology either, everyone's nerves work the same no matter the species. And don't forget, lightly touching the surface of the brain is enough to override all motor control throughout the host body.
We're not salty that probably nobody would recognize a Andalite Borg would be unrecognizable as an OC and so instead use a bulkhead section as a profile picture...
.....
We were talking about parasites, yes? 😊

Hehe, Animorphs. One of my favorite book series back in the day...
My least favorite part of any fic...catching up! Fortunately, there seems to be a whole lot more coming, story-wise, at least. I've really enjoyed this so far. One question for the author, though. Is Rainbow still producing/releasing more little parasites, or did that stop when hers turned into more brain matter?
9428384 She is! However, now she is more in control of herself, she flushes them all!
9428322
I actually have an idea for a Crossover fanfic (sad I know) where yeerks find equestria, obviously want access to you know, magic and flight etc. Somewhere along the way somepony who finds out gets confused, as they can detect the yeerks use an almost earthpony style innate magic to slip into someone and for the control. Mostly because I wanted to set them in a universe where that could be partially explained, partially because I want to get theese ideas on papet

Go for it! You have nothing to lose.
"I was there, Pinkamena. I think I would know."
The fact that Rarity looks at this with blasé acceptance is honestly kind of terrifying.
Well that's definitely not good.
In any case, this Monday just keeps getting more manic. And actually moving things isn't going to help in that department. Ah, for the simple days of just having to worry about a parasite weaving itself into a single girl's nervous tissue...
Mrs. Shy, what finally drove you to put your foot down with Zephyr?
I just realized I haven't seen anything about Spitfire and her group since that night at the drag races. Now I'm wondering if she's been doing anything important to the story off-screen/off-page/behind the scenes, or however you want to put it. And if she's going to show up again, or if her potential role in the story ultimately didn't pan out.
9440133 Considering she's at college, I'd say she's going to make an appearance when the girls get there.
I think, looking back... I wasn't the right kind of audience for the story. Certainly not at this point anymore. Cause I was more interested in what happens with Timber and didn't care at all about Thunderbolt, or Spicy, or Luna, or even Sonata. Did I change, or did the story..?
