Great story, can't wait to see more :heart:

Wait.

How does Rarity eat on love?
We really need a lot of backstories.

11666074
What do you mean how?

Looks promising, I look forward to what you'll write next.

11666074
With her love mouth obviously

11666186
I meant without being spotted or raising suspicion.
She can't replace EVERY victim she drained love from, and what happens to the victims?

11666189
I mean, we already have an example of a changeling that can live among ponies without needing to drain anyone of love. Thorax. So long as she has ponies that give her love and friendship, she can live off of that without needing to take it by force.

11666189
What Obsidian Chitin said, probably like that.

I need more of this.

Would it matter if she was? :duck:

11666189
Do you think changelings go around slurping people like vampires?

You'd think Rarity would try to talk to her friends who are more susceptible to the reality of her being a Changeling first, like Pinkie or Fluttershy, to win their support, before talking to the friend who had the hardest time with them.

Good luck, Rarity.

I like this premise, but there's a few stylistic concerns I have. But first... what kind of feedback are you looking for and would it help to give you feedback now or do you want to just go for it?

11666642
What are your concerns? This is a commissioned story so I'll be trying to do what the commissioner wants

That was a good first chapter goodluck with the rest of it.

:twilightoops: So that's how you survived
:raritywink: yes Precious Scales is filling and tastes great
:moustache: now I feel like a beer commercial
:facehoof: I hope it's not Butt Lite

I love changling stories omg

an intterestinf idea. hmm, makes me cirious about her family, like Sweetie Belle

funny, due to a friend, i got a kike for changelings

11666286
Yes!

It would of mattered the most if she had revealed herself long ago... now? There will always be that seed of doubt over her intentions.

very interesting story so far

11668239
Heh, true. But I'm also referencing an older fic about one of the Mane Six (possibly) being a changeling: Would It Matter If I Was?

Seems like a fun story.

11667561
No wonder Rarity is looking fat.
Too much Bud Spike Light.
:ajsmug:

11668649
I know...

If you scroll down far enough you'll find my comments on that one.

11666286
Yes. The answer to this stupid question was always yes. At least until Thorax came along. But until he does, then the answer remains yes.

11666286
If her friends and family truly cared about her, no it wouldn't. Of course, because of Chrysalis, she would have to prove she was always a Changeling and not just one replacing the true Rarity. But that's easy to do, as the Element of Generosity should react exactly like it always has with her.

:rainbowhuh: Rarity are you drunk?
:ajbemused: She don't look it. Spike what do you think?
:moustache::heart::heart::heart::heart:
:raritycry: BURP!
:twilightoops: Rarity? You sure ballooned up suddenly
:flutterrage: Discord, That wasn't funny... It wasn't you?
:pinkiehappy: I have a secret...
:facehoof: Rarity you're drunk...

Awe. Poor Rarity wanting to come clean, but terrified to do so. Looking forward to seeing how you explore this with her other friends.

11669882
The Elements do not react to their weilders until used. Just jewelry until then.

What you are suggesting is that they trust a changeling, that they have no reason to trust, with one of the Elements; that they need for an unrelated crisis or B to zap the changeling with. Now before that last idea sounds like a winner it has never been confirmed that the mane six can choose what they do...

A more logical response from everypony would be to lock her up. With the possible exception of The Royal Sisters the general public has no idea whether a changeling has the capability to be anything but evil. We are more likely to see investigations, interrogations and expeditions to locate the real Rarity. (Harmony help her if she based her form off of a real pony and they find her instead; which would actually be rather funny).

one can only stay optimistic

I'm willing to bet Fluttershy will be the most open, but I guess we'll see. Looking forward to the next chapter.

:raritystarry: You know?
:moustache: Duh, You smell different and besides that Thorax told me
:duck: Who's Thorax?
:moustache: You promise not to tell anyone...

:pinkiehappy: Is that a Pinkie Promise?
:facehoof:

Rainbow sighed as she saw the sadness in Rarity, she put a hoof on her friend's shoulder and sat down beside her. "Look, Rare, it's nice that you think there is a chance, but I don't see it that way, they obviously don't have any intention on becoming friends, if they did, they would have stood up against Chrysalis," Rainbow said as Rarity sniffed a bit.

..............

She's not entirely wrong, but I don't blame them for being scared of Chrysalis.

Rainbow Dash: Is doubtful like Twilight, but is a bit more biased and frankly, a little racist. She sees us as nothing but bugs based on her choice of words. Hopefully, her mind may change when and if I come out, but for right now I'll be wary of her. Hopefully, it was more the two ciders she chugged that were talking and personal feelings rather than her genuine thoughts.

ppphhhttt😆 So racism does exist?

What you said about Zecora's stripes wasn't racist?

Rainbow Dash: Is doubtful like Twilight, but is a bit more biased and frankly, a little racist. She sees us as nothing but bugs based on her choice of words. Hopefully, her mind may change when and if I come out, but for right now I'll be wary of her. Hopefully, it was more the two ciders she chugged that were talking and personal feelings rather than her genuine thoughts.

Amazing how "modern sensibilities" shine through...


In olden times it wasn't considered racist or, sometimes, wrong as science couldn't confirm that black people were homosapien for the longest time. The reason I bring that bit of trivia up is because I doubt Rarity even knows whether changelings are more related to ponies or bugs. We, personally, are incredibly related to apes but mice are used in drug tests and other pursuits.

Why?

Despite not being closely related they function like us, genetically, much more than our ape cousins.

Rarity sighs as she leans her head back, she had hoped that she would have had more positive answers rather than negative ones. She gets up and wonders who to see next.

Why? Name one reason why you thought they would be positive. I am curious. This is their first experience with your ethnicity. We have 3,000+ years of history to fall back on. I only need today and yesterday to know that another ethnicity has the capability to be good.

Your friends have a failed invasion attempt. Yet you seem to think less of them for not instantly be "forgive, forget".


From my point of view Dash was vary positive.

Fluttershy sighed as she looked down to the ground. "I honestly don't think all of them can be befriended, but I do know there's goodness in every heart, if we just look for the bad then that's all we'll find," Fluttershy said as she looked back up at her friend and smiled warmly. "So, yes. I think that some changelings can be befriended, and I would love to have the chance to be friends with one," Fluttershy said as Rarity teared up a bit.

I honestly expected her to be very afraid.

"I also can't help but feel that their queen takes all the love for herself, if I were friends with one, I would share my love willingly with them," Fluttershy added as she saw Rarity's tea cup was empty. "Oh, may I refill your cup?" Fluttershy asked as she gripped the teapot in her teeth.

Exactly!! Somepony finally thinks that Chrysalis is the actual monster!

"Oh, he just said that if we did make friends with the changelings, the silk that they produce could help you out in your shop and make better clothes," Fluttershy said as Rarity smiled.

eeewwww.

"Befriend those moths? Please, their queen orders them around like pawns, they know nothing about loyalty or friendship, and they'd stab us in the back as soon as they had the chance," Rainbow said, going off into a tangent about the changeling race.

A-aren't they loyal to their queen?

I knew Flutters would be the most open minded of the bunch. If she can befriend Discord, she can befriend anyone.

"It sure does, it also helps ease my fears of the changelings seeking vengeance," Fluttershy noted as Rarity's ears went down.

That was oddly direct...

:rainbowlaugh:

Fluttershy is the expert on fear. She knows exactly what all she is afraid of and could probably make a list to rival some of Twilight’s, so of course she can tell the difference between “I’m scared of changelings out to get me” on the one hoof and “I’m just scared of changelings in general” on the other easily enough. :raritywink:
