I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@Seraphem: Do Changeling Queens go on bee-style "nupital flights"?

@Dark No it's alright. I think I've spend all my venting with my mate from college so I'm good.

@CDRW: It's either an insanely complicated issue for them, or else it's trivial, because they can just modify their own bodies to be whatever gender they identify as. Though the simplest explanation is that the outside form is simply a glamor that doesn't really change the core being. In which case a male changeling pretending to be a mare would just be more like a crossdresser who's a really good actor.

And I can totally identify with the "wishing I had skills that I didn't" thing. I've had a story bouncing around in my head for a while that actually started as the concept for an RPG, and I'm debating whether to write it out in game-script style, or to just modify the story to be regular prose.

@Vinyl Scratch video: Did anyone notice the blue dog near the beginning? I think it kind of looked like Huckleberry Hound in its coloring. Which either is a reference or a complete coincidence that I only noticed because I used to watch "The Good, the Bad, and the Huckleberry Hound" a lot as a young girl when I could rent it from the video store. And as someone who listens to music on her headphones a lot (because of my Aspergers' sound sensitivity issues, listening to music helps me stay calm and concentrate because I would otherwise be distracted and annoyed by ambient noise) I can say that the way it's portrayed that the world becomes like it has a soundtrack is rather true to the way I feel sometimes, although obviously not to the point that everyone starts dancing to my music.

@back problems: My Pomeranian Luna would sympathize, because she has arthritis in her little back, so we keep her pain away with a medicine she gets and by restricting her access to stairs because she's unaware there is anything wrong with her unless she actually feels the pain. She thankfully hasn't had any relapses of it since she's started taking the medicine, at least so far.

@ JT, hmm god point, it does depend on if they actually shift their bodies, or it's just illusion. Though, from the way Chrysi transformed, it did look more like a full body shift, at least for her. But it could just be something special only the Queen can do, and the rest are glamors.

Does that mean every changeling except the queen is glamorous?

Perhaps it's power levels. The average changeling had some strength, but not as much as the queen was channeling at that moment. defeating Celestia, leeching from Shining Armor, and breaking the barrier must have had a lot of power at her command. Which is a bit creepy if that's true, that with enough power you'd never be able to tel yyour loved ones from a changeling, at least physically.

But yeah, it may be that Chrysalis just has more power to put into a longer lasting illusion.

Post of the Day #694

@Chad I tend to bottle up my anger and I'm perfectly fine. I think...

@ginger I'd guess yes, but she doesn't think it will allow her too.

And I realized while talking about this that I don't think we've seen any Earth Pony guards.

Well semicanon. Anyway, if that's wubstep, I can't say I like it much.

It's okish. It's like punk if it was just a base. It needs texture, buildup, and a good beat to make the warbling base effective.

I don't know enough about wubs to say if that really counted. Now we need a similar one with Octavia listening to classical music.

I wonder if they could combine their music and make, like, classical dubstep.

@Kyler: Classical dubstep? That is definitely something I didn't see coming.

This is the closest thig that comes to mind if Octi ad Vinyl made a track together.

Classical dubstep might work very well with some classical music pieces that have strong bass percussion parts. Two good examples I can think of are the 1812 Overture with the "cannon explosion" parts and some parts of the Rite of Spring, such as the part that plays with the lava bubbling in the Fantasia version.

Then again, I'm much more familiar with classical music than dubstep, so I could be unaware of how well dubstep would mix with other genres.

Edit: I did find some examples of classical music set to dubstep style on Youtube. Here's one example that is set to rodeo scenes, oddly enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU2bMnNvJcc

I still want to see a prog rock pony. Like one of the bands in the movie should be a Captain Ersatz version of Rush or something.

That would be awesome. prog is very disliked for some reason. Sure some bands are pretentious as some detractors claim, but many are very creative and classically inspired.
