A mother of many suddenly a mother of few as the nightmare spread its wings in triumph, the queen with no hive and very few children weeped for the ones she used to take for granted

@ask-nightmare-eternal-twilight small lore for chrysalis

[ask-nightmare-eternal-twilight]

What's Queen Chrysalis like, Ms Twilight?

Is it considered an honor for a pony to be accepted as an official drone?

Do the markings on your coat mean something or are they scars?

Apologies for all the inquiries. It's always exciting getting to meet new ponies and creatures of different cultures.

“I dont mind the questions! Its nice to have other ponies to talk to, most of the changelings here focus more on work and keeping the hive safe than talking”

Kinda obsessed with the mlp au so I drew madeleine in his royal guard armor, uniform? Idk

Incantation the changeling!

Shadow Milk Pony!!

Something possessed me and I don’t know what it was. Shadow Milk himself maybe.

He’s a changeling, and maybe when he releases in Kingdoms and we get to see him before turning evil, I’ll draw a metamorphized version.

[fiddles-ifs]

Question: for Greenwarden, the default name proposed for my character was "Robin Goodfellow." That's the name I tend to use while online so I don't need to use my real one, so I was just wondering if that name is the example for all players at that point in the game and is a strange but fun coincidence! I am loving the game so far!

Just a fun coincidence!! Specifically it’s in reference to Puck the fairy from A Midsummer Night’s Dream (and wider English folklore) :]

2 and Aelswith & Edward

Aelswith bends down, picking up the discarded glove. “Edward! Your hands will get cold!”

“I’m alright, Mother.” Indeed, Edward is busily digging in the snow, forming a wide circle with two chambers. Aelswith feels as though she has seen this shape before, but she cannot remember where.

“What is that you’re making?” she asks.

“This is where I was born,” he says simply.

She laughs at the childlike absurdity of the statement, but her spine shivers for some reason she cannot explain. “No, silly, I gave birth to you. You were born from me.”

“Only the first time,” he says, and there goes that shiver again. “The second time, I was born in a place like this.” He points to one chamber, and then to the other. “I died in there, and then I was born in here. And when I was born, another little boy died.”

She feels cold all over now. “That is not true,” she says sharply, but Mildrith’s grief-worn face looms in her memory.

“Yes, it is,” he says. “You were there, remember?”

She grabs his hand. “Enough of this. Put on your glove before you catch cold.”

“I’m not cold, Mother,” he says patiently, pulling his hand free and touching her face. “See?”

She opens her mouth to argue, but she stops when she feels his hand on her cheek. Even though he has been digging in the snow, his hand is as warm and soft as though he has been wearing wool gloves.

“I can’t catch cold, or get sick,” he explains. “Because that other little boy died. Do you see?”

She looks at him, this child who looks nothing like her or Alfred, this child who never sickens, this child who Alfred handed over to a pagan witch one full moon and plucked from the mud healthy and new the next morning.

“Yes,” she says slowly. “I see.”

world's most normal and least macabre bones oracle.

(byron, my bones oracle changeling PC for a pathfinder game! he disguises himself as a human with white hair for Spy Reasons)

[sadlycrabby]

Little bit of backstory :3c

She grew up in the changeling kingdom, her mom and dad left the kingdom of nightmares due to their dislike of the rulers ideas and actions eventually ending up finding the changeling kingdom and bargaining food (love and labor) for protection, her main job is scout but she adores researching the world around her.

Shes never interacted with another pony besides her mom, dad, brother, and her changeling brothers and sisters. She is due to interact with the princess of moons love, princess mi amora cadenza, who her brother has been engaged to secretly for quite some time.

[ask-nightmare-eternal-twilight]

Can we talk to Chrysalis? If so, welcome to yours, my Queen! I know it's a little confusing, but don't worry, we're not going to harm you and your hive, we're just interested in getting to know Twilight and this universe better.

Woo! Sudden burst of motivation! Updates may take a little longer than they were at the start so i can have enough time to have a break and not burn myself out :3

[kursed-curtain]

wanna hear me ramble about Changeling!Graham?

That wasn't a question, I'm gonna do it anyways

Can't eat certain foods like meats because of his fae origins.

Can't really do a tail wag cuz of how bendy his tail is. Buuut it does sway when he's happy so close enough!

Before he ever revealed he was a changeling, he had a few behaviors that suggested something was a little funky but it never suggested "wow this guy must be a fae being"

^ One of them was not understanding them darned social cues. He sees any open palm as 'Put Your Face Here For Pats' so when a noblewoman gestured for him to take her hand and lead her into the castle for a party, he put his chin on her hand, before she sort of... looked at him funny and walked in herself.

^ Graham also did this when No1 offered to assist during dance lessons. Just, No1 holds out his hand & changeling brain goes 'ooh? Face fits there!!' *plop*

^ No1 just sort of... Stood there??? Confused??? He looked over at No2 & No3 (No2 has been holding back his laughter and No3 just thinks it's sweet <3) (those feelings intensified when No1 just did the first thing that came to mind and gave Graham chin scritches) (No2 was on the floor at this point but he didn't wanna laugh loud, the ballroom echoes!)

After Graham revealed to most of his close friends that he's a changeling, he started bein a bit more open about accessibility in the kingdom & how to improve it. I think he'd also do a bit of it with Anisette and the rest of his sisters in mind (Annie ADHD headcanons go brr)

^ like creating quiet/muted sections and rest areas for when big parades and festivities are going on, and you still wanna enjoy the beauty and fun without it feeling like sensory heck :3c

[lemon-slushie]

My brain wouldn’t let me sleep until I made this please tell me y’all see the changeling vision, he thrives off attention I mean like come on

Fucking my little cookie or whatever I can’t keep doing this

Also ik changelings don’t have hair but idc!!!!!!!

Also also I’m not good at drawing ponies so like please don’t judge me 💔

[changeling-chatter]

I’m currently reading Plight of the Living Dead: What Real-Life Zombies Reveal About Our World —and Ourselves by Matt Simon. It is a so far absolutely fascinating read about parasites and is (at least in my opinion) relatively jargon free, so it is easy to digest.

I’m also in the process of rereading the second book of The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix, Lirael. I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes fantasy and necromancy. The magic system is great and Nix does a wonderful making the characters feel deep and interesting. Plus, there are “animal sidekicks” but they’re both fully developed characters with their own motivations and agendas. I can’t recommend this series enough.

Finally, I am rereading Dungeon Meshi (or delicious in dungeon, if you use the english title) by Ryoko Kui. It is a manga series set in a high fantasy world and the worldbuilding is absolutely incredible. The characters are so well done too! Dungeon Meshi got an anime adaption last year that is worth watching but it hasn’t caught up to the manga yet. I consider this series a definite must read for anyone who is interested in speculative biology

and if yes pls respond/put in the tags with what you’re reading and whether or not you like it i need new books for the new year <3
