I believe that the most dangerous weapon to man is a silver tongue.

It has been a whole year since the Battle of Canterlot, where Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (commonly known as Princess Cadence) and Captain Shining Armor were married. Ponies all across Equestria have created many hypotheses on why Queen Chrysalis had gloriously crashed the royal wedding, and hypotheses on what changelings were also sprang into being.
Ponies have been completely clueless about changelings ever since the fateful day many years before…

But I'm not a pony now am I?
And I am here to answer every question that everyling has. Whether they are a nymph or an adult, it doesn't matter!

And how about I stop summarizing and get to the point instead?
This is a book describing everything that has changed to our society following that eventful day.

My name is Copycat, and I will be your guide for this journey through history.

This reads sorta like my world building thought processes that I dream up of when I'm bored, except more organized and considerably more detail.

Not bad, but that billard just made me lol

1872282 I don't even know why I added it! :rainbowlaugh:

An in depth analysis on how the changeling society works? I been wanting a fic like this for a while.:twilightsmile:

1872394 I did too. And I decided to take it into my own hands! :moustache:

Then there was that one changeling who made his house look like and apple…

Me thinks you meant 'an'.

Anyhow, that was both an enjoyable and informative read. I can't wait to read on how changelings work on the inside (:pinkiecrazy:)

Favourited and upvoted!

It's neither good nor bad... it just is. :trollestia:

1873071
It was absopositivilutely my pleasure!

In order to shake your fist again, you have to have shaken your fist previously. But you didn't shake your fist at me the first time, so saying 'again' makes it seem like I've gotten more aggression than I actually have.

1873159

But you didn't shake your fist at me the first time

You don't say... :ajbemused:

1873169 *shakes fist at Daemo……again* :twilightangry2::flutterrage:

1873170
*shakes fist* Mah name is Daemon. The 67 is obviously for uniqueness, but the capital N is just stylization and still part of mah name!

1873228 *shakes fist for the sake of fist shaking*

1873233
*shakes fist* I'ma gonna be here all day. Mah fist aint gonna get tired. Come at me bro!

1873282 *walks away*
*plays Final Fantasy*
:trollestia:

1873288
*shakes fist* QUITTER!

1873308 Nah, I'ma do something enjoyable :trollestia:
*screams because he got crit'd*

1873311
*shakes fist* What? Who needs fun when you have ponies? ... ... ... Wait...

1873317 I am taking a… *ahem*… short break from ponies before my mind gets flooded and I forget about other things. :derpytongue2:
Such as the fact that the RNG in Final Fantasy Tactics games seem to hate me (I get hit by spells that only have 20% accuracy; I miss attacks that have 95% accuracy; I get crit'd almost every battle :applejackconfused:)

1873327
Your character has no defense or attack points. Level it up.
(Coming from a guy who's never played FF)

1873333 :ajbemused:
The RNG just doesn't like me.
I am actually over-leveled and take only like 10-35 damage per attack. BUT whenever I am on a cliff, I get crit'd (crits deal 2x damage and deal knockback, which launches me over the cliff and kills me :twilightangry2:)

1873341
FUN!!!
What does RNG stand for? :twilightblush:

1873350
Mmkay, you see, I would never have guessed that... So... just get a new one lol :trollestia:

1873359 I've always had bad luck with RNG's :twilightblush:
It's silly cuz I LOVE the Tactics games so much! :rainbowlaugh:

1873367
Ah remember the good ol' AoE... Twas a good game. Is FF turn based or real time?

1873379 Turn.
You have 7 races at your disposal (5 main ones and 2 minor that you get much later)
Units switch between jobs and job skillsets to get maximum stat growth and best abilities to complement each other (each job has different stat growths and each job has its own skillset, such as white magic for White Mage… which is kinda obvious)
Speed conducts which characters move first

1873406
Like in Ponymon. So is FF worth getting? Lol, 'white magic'.

1873423 Final Fantasy 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 are available on GBA and so is FF Tactics Advance
FF 3 is available on DS
FF Tactics is available on PS1, PS3, and PSP
FF Tactics A2 is available on DS

In my opinion? FINAL FANTASY IS THE GREATEST!!! :flutterrage:

1873470
... Wait... No PC? Oh well, I'll just get FF 6 right now :twilightsmile:

1873480 *ahem* there is a specific reason why I said the GBA… :trollestia:

1873575
I'ma battling the giant snail thingy in the mine right now :twilightblush:
But seriously, it's not for PC?

1873586 Old school mate. :raritywink:
Also, FF6 is probably my second fav (I love FF5 to death :scootangel:)
Just don't hit the Ymir with electricity. :rainbowwild:

1873623
Or when it's hiding in its shell :ajbemused:
Can I heal KO'd people? Biggs and the witch are goners.
EDIT: Never mind.

1873629 Uh… ??? can heal and…

I don't remember her moveset inside the Magitek Armor very well… :rainbowderp:

1873649
She's been freed from the slave crown now so it don't matter. :eeyup:
Anyways, I'ma go off and play myself some FF. Bai.

1873665 I GOT ANOTHER ONE HOOKED GUYS!!! :pinkiehappy:

Heh, I like the -ling suffix, and I like the idea of a fic that's supposed to be just a book from within the setting.

My main criticism is that some of it reads more like a transcript of a lecture than something Mellow originally put down in writing, especially the way he loses his train of thought at the end.

1874527 I was kinda trying to put "Mellow" into a more carefree style.
I also thought, "What if he/she talks while writing? What if his/her magic writes down what he/she speaks?"
Is it a problem? Will it become a problem? :rainbowhuh:
I will explain how the names work in a later chapter (hopefully the third), but the name Mellow is supposed to have significance as to how they act or appear.

And the -ling idea actually comes from Niaeruzu's stories. :twilightblush:
I loved the idea and I thought it made sense! :pinkiesmile:

Judging by the fact that I have a PhD in changeling mentalities, the fact that I wrote this, and the fact that you are reading this, means that the ponies are wrong.

Nice tongue in cheek, this is a changeling I could hang around without pulling my hair out!

Thankfully, over the months leading up to current times, our society is slowly becoming as prosperous as the times of Queen Cocoon, a time were changelings thrived with almost limitless love.
