***Under Grand Revision***

Hello! My name is Arctic. When I was young I would always hear stories about this wondrous land filled with all sorts of love and achievements. Now I get to see for myself the life these strange ponies live and perhaps one day lead a collection of changelings over the sea to set up a sub-hive. After all, nothing goes better together than changelings and ponies.

I'm intrigued... Keep writing.

Oh! Before I forget, you may want to fix your eyes. They were two separate colors again.

Some people have this, it is a birth defect that is rare, but still exists, I imagine this also happens in ponies, so it wouldn’t really matter.

Is this reformed changelings, or non reformed changelings?

I'm aware of this actually. A former Tiger baseball pitcher has it. It's where I got the idea from and is the reason why the eyes were blue and orange. Blue and orange are the Tiger's team colors.

9648716
Non reformed. Debating whether I'll touch on this subject at a much, much later date.

9648700
Having eyes with different colors really barely counts as a defect itself, I'm sure there are defects that cause discoloration but eyes with colors that don't match doesn't really do anything beyond well making the eyes different colors. Now it will be a problem is Arctic goes for mismatched colors and forgets which is which color or accidentally makes them the same color.

Ahh Arctic's hive is non-reformed but what about the Changelings in Equestria? As far as his hive knew changelings never crossed the sea so he has no clue Chrysalis existed or that she "outed" them and got over thrown. Why would his hove not be reformed if it is "good"? They never needed to. Chrysalis taught her hive to drain ponies into a stupor then replace them, Arctic's hive covertly harvested love but other wise let ponies be, since they never harmed anyone they wouldn't have ever seen it as wrong and needed to adapt like Thorax did. But what happens when he hears about Chrysalis or meets a member of Thorax's swarm.

So much like Energon for Transformers too much love makes your drunk. Changelings clearly can't be heavy drinkers, they encounter a happy drunk and end up smashed at mach speed on alcohol and love.

I am now trying to picture a changling smashed up on both love and alcohol. It makes one wonder...

*A sly grin appears*

Ok so establishment this is before the 100th Summer Sun Celebration, so no reformed changelings.

"I'm telling you, I know what I saw. The guy completely jumped off the side and landed right on top of a jewelry thief."

YES!

Isn't your avatar from "Changing Views"?

9781787
Thought it looked familiar. Also a great story on this site.

9781787
And now I've been staring at that adorable image for far too long.

Damn it all! I've got words to write!

Why you do this to me Camo?

9781810
Lol that's the second person I've done this to, don't let me slow you down I wanna see more!

9781811

*Salute*

Ahhh i just started reading this and then it ends of a cliffhanger like this! Aaaahhh i need more!

Haha! All in good time my friend, all in good time.

Or is it due time? Eh, I've heard it both ways.
*Psych Theme*

Oh how much I miss that show.

True, the starting hook maybe need some work. I hope it isn't drastic or required another read-through. But the story is still great nevertheless.

yes, that awkward moment when you wake up on the ceiling...

Generally seen in Paint horses, most often one eye is blue the other brown.

Meadow talking to the firefly isn't ominous... Not all all. Either implies something is up with her or just jinxed everything by saying out loud things are perfect. Never say "What's the worst that could happen?" "How bad could it be?" Or "Everything is perfect". And Villians should never say "And no one can stop me!".

9968143
There's a key adjective I believe you missed after the firefly flies off. A single word which dosen't fit.

9968162
nah is going perfect and and things are perfect have the same possible implications. 1. She's part of the Badlands Hive or 2. She's committed the sin of tempting fate to make things not go perfect. If she works for Chrissy well Intel on the Manehaten hive is useful as they are rivals and someone they can steal resources from. And then second possiblity is well stated, in fiction making statements of how great things are going proceeds things going wrong

"Sir! We've lost our Bar deflector shields!"

"Intensify the forward pie filling! I don't want anything to get through!"


@Xanderfox

No, the villains should NEVER say: "This is IMPOSSIBLE! I am INVINCIBLE!"

Death is usually immediate.

Also, avoid anyone who says: "Watch this..." and walks away. Actually, get out of the building immediately.

At the time of this comment this story has 404 views...

That's not ominous at all. Not what so ever.

Maybe I should create a backup just in case.

Gee Chryissi why do your "children" turn on you so easy? Oh yes, you treat them like dirt, fill their heads with lies and don't let them use the mental link Network so you can isioate the minipulate them easier. Once they find out what a crap Queen you are they turn on you.

9972661
Okay! that 522 Error was not my fault! I did not tempt fate what so ever! Look, this comment was even, like, three days ago so there!

Hummm now I think I have a theory why Arctic's hive keep the default "black" form and not the rainbow form the Badlands hive ended up taking. Being shapeshifters they still have a default state they feel "normal" and express indivuality in there standard "disguise". The Badlands Changelings have negative emotions tied to their original forms and never really thought of disguises as a way to be unique, when they shared love the new forms they took combined the need to feel both normal and unique, instead of one form to feel normal and another to express indivuality. They took on friendly but still insect form that had unique colors or physical quirks, emulateing ponies a race they saw as being all largely the same but still different from one another. That way they still had the comfort of belonging to the group with out boredem of being physically identical. The younger changelings like Ocelleus going more "off model" due to simply being younger and more creative.

An interesting theory indeed.

"We will take Jerhoofsalem!" Pitch shouts to the High Heavens. Meadow simply facehoofs.

Ok and will you take the butthurt israeli or take the butthurt palestinian?
We also offer a rare Transjordan nationalist, but it’s 52 years old, and kinda bullshit.

See, Changlings are worst about actually going out on dates... Silly bugs

I could suddenly feel my hooves start sweating, my knees are weak, wings are heavy, there is vomit on my feathers already, mom's spaghetti. Huh, I should write this down somewhere, this is good stuff. Where was I? Right, heart beating out of my chest. Is it just me or do the buildings look like they're a whole lot closer? Okay, I'm okay. Deep breaths now.

Hahaha an Eminem reference

Ohh this will be interesting.

10043465
Arbiter? What are you doing here?

*Flood noises in the distance*

By the prophets! What have you done?

10043606
I've noticed that you're a Red Wings fan and a fellow Michigander.

10043609
That I am! What's happening brother and/or sister?

Shame about the wings though. It's like Dead Wings version 2.0 out there.

10043623
It's the result of very bad contracts but I have hope we'll be good again. What part of the state are you from.

I loved the (Alan) Wake games that I have played. I really should read the novels, huh? Guns n Rose's Paradise City; Burnout Paradise is such a fever dream of a game. I wonder what you will do with theses materials too :)

10045030
I'm going through another playthrough of Alan Wake right now and it still remains one of my all time favorite games. I felt given NM's nature that it would make an interesting reference at the very least. Never played Burnout Paradise. I assume it's a racing game from the title.

While true a changeling doesn't want to stand out (typically) and should avoid such stand out features such as mismatched eyes.

10065951
Unless one follows a blend in by standing out strategy. Afterall, it would be insane for a changeling to use unique details in their disguise in order to stand out after the entire pony population becomes aware of their existence. Or so the general populace may conclude.

Nice to find another Changeling story. Im in love with there theme. :raritystarry:

What a silly Changeling...

100% new Hive potencial.

PRICELESS how clueless this Changeling is... What pure chaos. Very lovely report.
