With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[BR549]

Well, that's a hell of a discussion to be having right in front of the Changeling.

Behold, the field in which Grayven grows his fucks. Look upon it, and thou shalt see that it is barren.

There is probably a Pony somewhere whose special talent includes digging graves.

Hey, it's archeology!

 

[Mr Zoat]

And that is one heck of a kludge-word.

Thank you.

Well, that's a hell of a discussion to be having right in front of the Changeling. Then again, most of it is going over his head, I'd bet. Not like the hive had a sex education program.

As a changeling who survived under Queen Chrysalis, Pharynx has an accute sense of which rants he's supposed to chime in on and which ones he's supposed to pretend he didn't hear. It was a survival skill.

 

[NightmareWarden]

"What, you want me to ask Shining Armor if he remembers Chrysalis raping him while he was mind controlled? Because he's the obvious person to ask, but that seems a little insensitive to me."

I'll admit, I slowly recoiled in the same way. Full-body cringe.

Assuming the fic Mr Zoat went to the effort to link isn't a one-off which won't be referenced again, let's consider how Shining Armor could become a notable character based on this plot line (if the changeling grubs are more Pony than a normal Changeling):

The chapter linked previously was steamy, while this one is about Shining Armor realizing the "terrible dream" wasn't a dream, and meeting his infant daughter. Unfortunately, for anyone who has been bleeding their wallet for Musume merch and mobile games, these equines aren't being wholesome. Lactation comes up too, but it isn't portrayed as a fetish or kink. Shining Armor is aghast, afraid, and feels shame due the perceived betrayal of his wife.

These changelings might receive cutie marks, even if the rest of their biology remains Changeling. Or their shapeshifting could be limited to ancestors on their father's side. Or they could grow into something like the bat-winged ponies who receive minimal screentime, eventually mingling into a proper forth tribe. I'm if ignoring the Kirin, crystal, sea, and other miscellaneous types and recommend you do the same before trying to reconcile this with With This Ring MLP-FIM lore.
