Just some guy, riding out his time.

It's the day after the changelings ascended to their new form, thanks to the newly crowned King Thorax.

Only... he wasn't actually crowned King, and none of the changelings voted for him, and to be perfectly honest, he probably isn't the right 'ling for the job.

Why should he be King, anyway? More importantly, can he answer the question before the enemy army arrives?

Silly Coleopter, your a military leader not a political one. Thorax is perfect to be a politician. I also believe the chest diamonds are a male changeling thing, in most animals the male is the flashy one, and we say other lings have them. Oh and if the MLP mobile app is any indication of cannon, not all lings have wings, the Changeling Sentry character has neither wings or a tail. Some also seem to now lack horns, bet those lings are confused now.

Yeah, I had to check the new changelings before I made that remark on them being individuals now.

But, and I have to posit this as carefully as possible: does the lack of horns, gem collars, or wings, or even their masculinity/feminity... any of that really matter to a creature that can change its shape?

Well not as much but I expect personal image is important to changelings in seeing them selves as individuals, the default shape is "them" anything else is just a disguise.

Very funny throughout. You really nailed the "stubborn meekness" aspect that somehow makes thorax successful, like courage the cowardly dog. Serendipitously, you basically invented the backstory for the character of the week last week, minus the timing of the transformation.

My only regret is being so damnably slow. Oh, well, there's always room for more shenanigans in this timeline, I suppose. Having the scribes of various kingdoms meet for a drink could be funny in and of itself.

Glad you liked it :twilightsmile:

Hmm... if Google Translate is right, you are trying to say:

The story is awesome! I like character development and how you switch between scenes! Your description makes me happy and I hope you do well! Make sure you do not put sauce in the laundry!

Well, thanks a bunch. Character development for characters I don't already like is always tricky, and it's nice to know it worked in this case.

"Don't put sauce in the laundry," eh? I don't know if this is a typical Vietnamese proverb or the translator just being a big derpyface, but that's a good line. I'll be sure to use it sometime.

Cảm ơn vì bạn đã phản hồi. Tôi sẽ cố gắng để giữ nước sốt và giặt ủi riêng. Tôi hy vọng tôi không đốn mồi ngôn ngữ của bạn.

This is actually a very fair assessment of Thorax, honestly. He's by no means perfect, and his gentle heart does leave him as a bit of a softy...but being a softy doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, as you pretty much demonstrate here. It's his selflessness that is Thorax's biggest trait though, the one that sets him apart from the rest, and is indeed why he makes for the ideal leader--he'll put the needs of his kind above his own more often than not. If only we have more world leaders that were willing to do that. :twilightsmile:

"Unless you want to risk those Caneighdian grimoires opening up again, now the Black Throne isn't holding back that magic," Libel said with a shudder. "The last thing this place needs is another flood of maple syrup."

FEAR OUR SWEET NORTHERN WRATH!

"A savage tribe that tried to wipe us out before we got the Throne installed," Libel replied. "You're too young to remember."

That high-pitched, savage 'boloolooloo' scream that left naught but dust and blood in its wake, was as iconic as it was terrifying. Only one creature, one fiendish terror born of the infernal pits made that kind of sound.

"Turkeys."

Don't tell me you wouldn't want to see that yourself; you know it'd be hilarious. Also, we need more secretary bird secretaries, dangit.
