White fur, blue mane, cyan eyes; every member of the Royal Guard looks remarkably similar. Is it coincidence? Fate? Or is something more sinister at work? When Celestia decides to investigate the anomaly, she uncovers something far beyond her expectations. Just what does the recruiter True Blue think he is doing?!

Nice work, pulled me right in, and left me wanting more. 👍

That was the most pleasant and agreeable wasp that I have ever read about.

Is there going to be a cloning/twinning tf for this story?

An interesting idea. A friend of mine isn't a fan of this but me...i like to think there is a reason, like old Tradition or left over from High crime where this was needed to protect the identity of the guards

That’s actually my favorite theory/headcanon as well, that the guards are disguised to protect their identities. Figureheads like Shining Armor are not disguised so that the guard can have actual ponies to represent them for publicity.

Cloning/twinning? Hmm, I wonder...

Miss Wasp is very pleased that you think so highly of her. She hopes that there are others like you willing to look past the crimes of the many and see the individual beyond the stinger.

Thanks, glad to hear it!

Really, I’m very happy to have already received all these comments. I can begin to see how many writers say they “live for the comments.” It’s my first time *sniff* the emotions... *snirf snirf* too much!

Mhm. My friend, he's too realistic, that it was due to the Show's Budget, thus in his universe, all guards stay Individual. Though he helped me to create a royal guard oc. And my Personal oc has a royal guard Adaption too.

Anyway, its good to see Things Started out Well for you

Changlings aren't very imaginative.
They are all copying each other, with just enough variation in name to count as different ponies.
Either that or the head recruiter caught her ogling a white stallion with a blue mane, and decided Celestia was into that.

Nicely done! The order Thing got me laughing.

And sorry for rambling

Being based in Ponyville they have access to the mirror pool. That would explain the identical cadets and if True Blue uses mind magic to make them all individuals it would be less obvious. Mirror clones seem rather mentally malleable anyway. Depending on how deep this goes the lack of paper records (birth records, school transcripts, etc.) for them could be worked around as well.

Any other way of doing this I can think of would result in missing pony reports.

Glad to hear it. And no trouble, I love to see more comments! I just don’t promise to respond to all of them.

Nickelodeon indicates catastrophic events get underrated every sixty seconds.

11061532
Okay then.

but, would you like to hear more in a pm?

11061523
I think since the Mirror Pool copies are "less sharp" than the original the mind magic is to "fix" errors in the copies. Tis would explain the seeming incompetence of the guard, they are all essentially the same guy, so they have the same strengths and weaknesses, think the same and act the same. Meaning what fools one guard fools them all, they al use the same tactics and never think outside the box. The Changeling invasion worked because Crysalsis only had to trick a handful of ponies and a bunch of clones!

11061854
Haha, that certainly would be one way to explain the apparent incompetence of the show's guards. Either that, or go the route of "the show is a cartoon meant for children and does not accurately reflect the reality of Equestria." In which case, the changeling invasion was perhaps a bit more violent than we were led to believe...

I'm perfectly fine with PM's, feel free to message me whatever. Just know that I am a busy (with work/life/school) guy and make no promises to respond in a timely manner.

its sent, i kept it basic, as not to overwhelm you

Nicely done! I can already imagine how that goes.

The start, what about Apple bloom?and the cleaning, made me chuckle.

though, also irony, indirecly

Apple Bloom is currently asleep in bed, enjoying the blessing of not having a job which requires her to get up at 5:30 in the morning. I don’t know about you, but given the choice between a hot breakfast and sleep, I’d choose sleep every time!

11125100
Of course. And interesting lore you did at the start

Not of sure of that, afterall this is a working farm, Bloom's chores may be closer to the homestead (like feeding the chickens and/or the pigs) but she would have something plus having the entire family up for breakfast does make it easier for Granny ...

His ancestor was Delusional Spear... So the madness all stems from a Royal Guard who got traumatized by seeing Celestia vaporize a Griffon Army telling a tall tale his descendants took as truth. 🤣

Still, nicely done! Good luck in school!

Nice work! Loved how chill and proper the wasp was. On one part, you forgot to write a "t" on thought on the seventh paragraph saying “This will be amusing,” though Iron Hoof with a grin. Great story, and I will be reading on! 🙌

By now we know what these dummies are doing and why s much of the guard is... Not the smartest.

That was a interesting story goodluck with the rest of it.

True Blue is on a collision course with his doom!

Also interesting aside with Mac remebering how Granny used to get "love honey" from Changelings, post reform I expect the process involves less stomping, singing a dirdge and secrecy. Probably has a lot more hugging and small talk now.

That was a good chapter. I wonder how Celestia will react to the truth.

There were also Fluttershy’s chickens, but they were Prench and therefore didn’t count.

That bird is savage.

Update pls. This is PEAK fiction. This is cinema.
