Chapter 6- Chrysalis: What am I feeling?
That annoying sound. It's so grating! It’s barely dawn, can’t a bug get her rest? I swear if she knocks one more time, I’ll...
...
I’ll...
...
Sigh...
...
That stupid princess. What does she want with me, now?
...
"Stop rapping on my door, you little nuisance! I’m awake! What do you want?... A trip? Argh! Fine. I’ll be ready in fifteen minutes.”
Ugh, I hate her so much, every day she wants to spend time together. So annoying. Oh, who am I kidding? She’s not so bad. She’s been nothing but respectful to me. Try as I might, I can’t stay mad at her.
Now then, where are those earrings she gave me? Ah, there they are. A lady needs to look her best for our day out together. After a week in this castle, I could really use some sunshine. I wonder where we are going, anyway.
***
Back here again. The old hive looks amazing, it’s really been patched up, since that day I met Starlight Glimmer. According to the Princess, my son, Thorax had taken charge, leading the next generation. Though, that was centuries ago, I wonder what the new leader is like.
Hmm, every Changeling seems to be...enjoying their life. So then, who is this?
“...”
Ocellus, my granddaughter, Queen of the Changelings. This is my granddaughter? Is she really my son’s child? I...I’ve never felt like this. She’s very elegant and her mannerisms are nothing short of regal.
“...”
What is she doing? Why is she grabbing me?
“...”
A hug? She’s happy to meet me? Why? I don’t deserve such affection. Curse you, Thorax; you raised a proper hatchling. Who would have thought I would ever feel proud of my son. It’s a shame, I never had a chance to see him in action as a king. He left a legacy to be proud of. Everywhere I look, the smiles on their faces, the full, healthy colors of their chitin, this is all I ever wanted for them. Her subjects seem to be inspired by her. Happy, healthy, this is how the hive should be.
“...”
I don’t belong here. Not anymore. This is their home, their life. My granddaughter, please lead them well. I leave them to you, Ocellus. You're the Queen I never was. I won’t darken your doorway anymore.
“Princess Flurry Heart, can we go home? I’m done here.”
***
Shut the door Chrysi, don’t let her see you cry...Thorax, I was never there when you needed me most. And now your daughter has grown into the Queen the hive deserves. It breaks my heart and fills me with joy all at once. I want to scream, I want to smile. These tears just won’t stop.
...
“Go away, Flurry Heart!”
...
I can’t let you see me cry!
...
Stop knocking on my wretched door! I need some time to myself. Is that so hard to understand?
...
I’m sure she knows I’ll come out when I’m good and ready. I'm sure she will leave me alone when she gets no answer.
...
Grrr!
…
“I’ll break your wretched hooves if you don’t knock it off and get lost!”
Ah, silence. Finally, peace and quiet. Still, seeing the hive reconstructed like that. That was a bit of a shock, though a bit of a welcomed one to be honest. These cursed tears. Why can’t I stop crying?
***
To see the Changelings flourishing like that, was wonderful. Maybe now, I can finally move forward. Hmm. I wonder what’s for dinner? Oh, I do hope Cadance is cooking up some more magic again. Her love tastes the best, after all. Mmm, just thinking about it, gets me excited. Now, what should I wear?

Interesting way to portray Chryssie's mindset there. I interpret her to feel like she's both proud of her young but also depressed because she's now feeling useless, failed in what she tried to achieve but just wasn't able to. An interesting duality.
Seems that Chrysalis may actually be the best off of the trio. At least she's happy with how her changelings turned out.
Thorax's kid? Either Thorax was older in the show then I assume or changelings just grow up faster.

You nailed it. It's a very bittersweet wave of emotions. She loves it, she hates it. However, for the first time in a long time, her eyes are actually opened. Though, this tale is far from over. Stick around <3

I mean, he was a full-grown king stag(beetle), and she only showed up after that fact so...since we know nothing about changelings...we don't even know steve...I mean thorax's age...so some liberties of interpretation have been taken to fit my narrative...I will admit<3

The only problem with your logic is the fact that Ocellus’s parents were shown multiple times in the show.
10937144
Well, yes, but under our assumptions as to what parents mean to them. Could be a group family scenario could be a guardian scenario could be a normal scenario. Artistic interpretation has been taken and yes I admit to taking some liberties to fit my narrative, not every single detail is always going to line up...after all the show broke its own lore countless times. It is honestly just a little stand-alone story, with no ties to really any others. I'm just doing my best. Please enjoy <3
Also if it helps I'll add an alternate tag to it.
10937161
I’m just saying.

And you are completely right.
so far, the Chrysalis itself is interesting to watch. I hope she can find her place in this world and have a little more contact with the old hive.
P.S. I can't believe that the kingdom of the centaurs could be in ruins from some incomprehensible threat.

I would suggest not skipping, or you might lose the plot...but, only time will tell if Chrissy...actually moves on, and what that might mean. I hope you'll stick around, though the sky is always darkest before the dawn.
^to be fair...Tirek couldn't either.
