At least the changeling shenanigans are mostly harmless and thoroughly disorganized. Chrysalis can never hear about this...

Very funny little story, and a great use of Best Pony as a perspective character for justifiable exposition. Thank you for it.

"FILTHY MODERATE PRO-DEMOCRACY CENTRIST! THAT'S THE SAME AS BEING A COMMUNIST AND A FASCIST!"

Pretty sure I've legit heard someone actually say this before in real life, and with dead seriousness too.

Couldn't take it seriously then either. :trollestia:

These darn changelings, their schemes are getting bolder!!

12046031 I had someone claim to be simultaneously an anarchist and a communist, which demonstrated a total lack of comprehension of either term.

12045966 Rainbow Dash was replaced with a pile of Skittles in a kitchen sink... nopony ever noticed the difference. Except that it moved much slower. They chalked it up to Dash getting old. :rainbowhuh:

Syndrome-ism. If everyone's in charge, no one is. :pinkiecrazy:

Oh no, the upvote button has been replaced by a changeling!

I'd better tickle it.

Sadly common (but not exclusive) among Americans.

12047829 I stole all the intelligence for myself! (Alondro was Jim Carrey's Riddler all along!)

Tiktok was MY evil scheme the entire time! >:D

Greetings. Your reading has been completed and can be found below. I hope you enjoy.

Luna sucked air between her teeth. "No. It's never an ice cream sculpture, not with her. She's only been abducted twice this month, and each time the fiends left...a full set of encyclopedias."

"Encyclopedias?"

"The changelings hoped nopony would notice the difference."

:rainbowlaugh:

I waited too long to read this story. I'm glad I finally read it, though. Nice work. :twilightsmile:

Taking 'book horse' to the extreme, aren't they?

Dulcinea blinked. She squinted. She walked closer to the chair, and poked the reptile with one forehoof. "It's obviously an iguana. Even though somepony's painted purple spots on it."

.....
Are Changelings really this stupid, or do they- wait, the fact that it's always the princesses that discover that something is wrong means that it's the general pony that is stupid.

"I accuse you of lese majeste !" the unicorn shouted, its legs now visibly rubbing together. "Tyranny! Blasphemy! Heretical notions! Simonizing! Anti-changeling harassment!"

So then we may conclude that most Twit'tards (or since it's called X now I guess in homage to XCOM they can be called 'XRays') are Changelings attempting to impersonate humans?

"If that's Princess Cadance over there, why is a trail of ants carrying away bits of her tail?"

Luna sighed. "Again!?"

Nevermind, they're ALL dumb, but at least possess pattern recognition and can learn.

I like this story. It's a lovely bit of silly fun!
