Changelings aren't nice. Changelings don't bake. Changelings don't get cutie marks.
This is how little Mandible earned a cutie mark to call his own.

A little self conscious, I suppose. Hopefully putting these out will help with that.

“Can you believe it, Mama? My very own butt mark!”
Applauded.
D'awwww
I like this type of story. Story what fit canon and not change it anything. Very good one shot
This was great, and reminds me of one of my first stories, The Cutie Mark Master, in that it can easily fit within the canon of the show. Short and sweet, and well-written. I'm not sure if you coined the term 'everyling,' but if you did: well done!
This story gets to fit the formerly empty #7 slot of my top 10 favorite stories on the site.
EDIT: Might I also suggest submitting this to EQD so it gets the views I feel it deserves? I think it would do well there after a quick-fix to adjust any minor mistakes.

This is the most adorable thing I'll read all day.
lolwut
Like and Fav. Jolly good show!
That was sweet and adorable and very fun to read.
Good job.
This was NICE.
Well done, Mr Mel
Very well done. Savory and charming.
Thank you all! These works are so empty without the comments. It's always reassuring to know I hit that mark.

I do not know if it was coined here or not, but I learned everyling from Thrown Abroad, another story involving changelings being entertaining, with more focus on funny than cute. Not to say cute isn't present.
As for EQD... really? I just might. That said, if anyone spots an error or something that needs improvement, don't hesitate to let me know! If I can work up the guts, this thing should be as shiny as I can get it!
24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7joe0OkrM1qfw2dno1_400.gif that was so heart warming and adorable i felt like the turtle after the adorableness subsided
adorable story involving changelings, ill never go back to using everypony again
mistakes and other things i pointed out: you used butt and rump some, not a bad thing, but somechangelings like for authors to use flank instead, in keeping with the pony-pun nature of the show.
at the end the mom said it is big responsibility, think you should have added an a between is and big
it might also help to slightly tone down the gustav le grand/petit pronouns a bit, makes it easier to read
oh and inb4 i forget... TIGER MOM CHANGELING FTW!
Hehe. How cute. I never figure Gustave for the type to... Breed. But the little griffin is adorable and the whole story is great. It's just too bad the Changelings have to hide. And that they can't taste. I never understood that fanon.
Epic story! ^^
Secret butt fun
Nice little story here. :)
Our little hero here was adorable and really well-written, and I really liked the judges--their dialogue was hilarious.
Hope we see more of this little guy soon!
Faved and liked.

I went and touched up wherever Le Grand was mentioned- you were right that it was a bit confusing. Hopefully that should make it better! As for rump vs. flank- rump is a pony butt, so I don't feel the need to change it. I'd mostly use it if rump seemed out of place, or for terms like blank flank and whatnot.
As for Misu's speech- I was trying to hint towards a light accent without anything as atrocious as Gustav's speech. If it's not very obvious, I might need to change it.
Was the accent too hard to catch?
1120080 The accents were fine. I caught onto them with no problems.
I also understood that, while ponies might say 'flank,' griffons aren't necessarily going to say that. They seem to be a slightly cruder species anyway, so I wouldn't put it past them.
Can't please everyone, I guess.
Going into it, I was a bit worried this might be too much like a story I'd already written, but...this is totally different. The intended sequel (which will hopefully be half as good as this story *whimper*) will also be quite different, but has foal changelings too, soo... It pulls on completely different chords. This is short, sweet, adorable...it raises a few questions, but they don't need immediate answering anyway.
The accent on the mom wasn't bad, but it just might need a mention of which accent it is, exactly. Does she speak a little fancy? Am I to imagine those 'r' sounds rolling as if she's snoring in broad daylight? That is what the French 'r' sounds like, btw, I know having heard snoring and French. Not an insult, an observation.
I do have to wonder why a Changeling would go for a name like Tira Misu. Was that intentional, knowing where the name comes from? The name of that dish literally means 'Pull at my pennies', basically 'yank at my money'...and if I'm not mistaken, it has roots that aren't meant for little children. If that was intentional: brilliant, just brilliant. If not: might wanna look that up.
I liked it. A simple story with a nicely wrapped introduction, event, and conclusion. No errors that were so grievous that they distracted me (I noticed none on my read-through). Much like the Humble Pie it features, it is, actually.
One thing: Don't change it to make the mother's accent more "obvious". There are six or seven stereotype accents for bakers and leaving it vague allows the reader to put in the most fitting one to them that fits the speech pattern. Obviously French is the first pick, but others are also possible.

And other commenters, remember: A cannon will shoot you out the building if you mix up the canon that cannons exist in MLP.
Heartwarming story.

This adorableness of this was simply too great a foe to overcome.
Great work. Kudos.
This deserves more attention!
Well done!
Stop! I am allergic to adorableness!
RIP
Cute and funny!
And Gustave Le Petit now exists in my headcanon!
1121668
Y'know, that would make sense since she's an outsider trying to pick a name she knows nothing about. But no, I didn't intend much by it. The only definition I could find was 'pick-me-up.'
1122451
I'm glad to hear someone agree with me on ambiguity. I'll leave her accent as-is, grammar misdemeanours and all.
1123506
I'll never be able to stop laughing at that picture.

Sweet thunder it's Wanderer D. Well jam a pump in my ego and call it a balloon, thanks!
Bawwww. Ickle changeling baby is adorable. Wonderful one-shot!
A most wonderful little story! Thumb up and a Fav!
Carry on!
That was a realy nice short story, I like it.
I think that story just gave me diabetes.

Great! Loved the entire thing!
... WOW... That was amazing! Great one-shot!

Hehe.
Great story; it's nice that you didn't rely on the changeling element too much.
Good one meligdris
That was nice.
I was kinda' hoping that he'd get an actual cutie-mark, but that was just as good. He really did earn that. Good show.
absolutely amazing work here. I loved the emotion, and the new take on the race. Everyone does the changelings as either hive-minds or solitary predators with little to no emotion for the most part. This was a very welcome and appreciated take on the idea, and was very full of D'ahw.
1254085
You've actually got a big reason for writing the story right there. I've never been a big fan of the 'hive mind' idea- it just doesn't fit the show (unless you count how Niaerezu works it in Thrown Abroad).
I'm glad you all enjoyed it. And a belated but hearty hello to all of you who came from RPGnet!

Actually, I'm doing a fic featuring Hive-Minded changelings, but that's mostly a narrative piece, and something necessary for the mid-part of the story I want to write.
TBH I like a lot of the myriad forms, but this was the most adorable.
I really like your interpretations of the changelings. I'm a sucker for misunderstood people struggling to fit in and you pulled it off beautifully.
I'll admit, it was quite an enjoyable read!
By far my favorite changeling fic. I don't think I've seen such a great fic that could so easily be an episode but actually works better as a story. Maybe the show will deal with choosing a butt mark as a theme eventually.
Assuming the title is really one big hint, I'm going to throw it out there that snooty is also a changeling. When tort sneezed and his disguise momentarily dropped, snooty put it back + butt mark. And if not, the fic still works just as well.
ZE CUTE! IT EZ TO MUCH!
1289876
Huh. Yeah. Snooty Booty is a changeling. Good guess! I had a different vision for the enmarkening process though.
D'aww.
Tourtiere is the most adorable changeling.
Ooh, a changeling fic I haven't read yet, I haves to-
“And then everyling was clapping, Mama!”
"everyling"
All of my wat. This fic is great, and like Wanderer D said, this deserves to be more popular. And I definitely don't say that because I'm incredibly humbled a silly term I coined in my fic was used in someone's really good, enjoyable and cute story.

Very sweet.
"The ponies do not think we are earth ponies, for then we cannot fly or use the spells. So we do not have horns, we do not have wings, and we most greatly do not change shape!”"
so it says they are not Earth ponies, Pegasus or Unicorn... what are they then? don't say changeling I know that im talking about the transformation.
