Perhaps, but as we discussed here a few months ago, he’s my least favorite of the changedlings, at least on an aesthetic level. But if he was willing to revert to his much cuter original form, or even don that Crystal Hoof disguise again, then I’d happily snuggle him too.

I’m not a terribly big fan of Equestria Girls fanfics, but I’ll give it a shot anyway. You were nice enough to drop me the link, so the least I can do is read it. Plus, there’s the chance of cute bug-horses, which is always nice.
 
Thanks, yo.

Ah, you’re talking about the redesigns. Okay, cool, I think we were both on totally different topics, BP xD . My bad. Anyway, I wasn’t a terribly huge fan of the redesigns when they first came out either, but they grew on me with time. Thorax is hit or miss, I guess, mostly because I think it’s kind of hilarious that he’s this FABULOUS RAINBOW MOOSE-BUG that I doubt even Rarity could have dreamed up x3 .
 
Still, I can see why others would disagree with them, particularly because they didn’t really need to change at all. I think a nice route to go would’ve been the show reintroducing the changeling hive along a more subtle route, showing that even though they look scary they’re still just as much “people” (for the lack of a better word) as any other Equestrian creature. But at that point I think I’m diving way too deep xD .
 
Also, next beer again!

Most bugs don’t bother me either, it’s just that I’d always loved the original changelings’ designs, so I was excited when I heard the changelings were coming back, which left a sore spot when the changelings… changed.
 
I don’t hate the designs anymore (except King Thorax’s), but at the same time, the only changedling I can honestly say that I like the design of is Ocellus.

Did anyone assume otherwise?
The problem is simply whether or not Changelings need to harm ponies to exist. If they don’t, then of course Celestia and everyone else would be fine with them.
 
I already read some comments like that. but so far not here
 
If we would get some background story of Chrysalis (not the comics) then we might get an answer. Who knows, maybe something bad had happened between ponies and Changelings. I mean, even the three pony races had problems before they became one nation.  
With some luck, this little Changeling means that we will get more Chrysalis soon

I think love eating is harmless if it is either a small quantity per pony (a wedding has a LOT of love floating around, and a little changeling doesn’t need much) or when it is given willingly.[/bq]
 
I think that sounds fitting.

Speaking Fancy - For helping with translations

I like to imagine he’s one of Chrysalis’ Changelings. “Your Majesty, I’d like to apply for leave, please.”
 
“For what?”
 
“A friend of mine invited me to his wedding.”
 
“Oh. Well, I suppose that’s alright. Our plans for the second invasion aren’t ready yet.”
 
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
 
“And don’t overeat!”

It also shows that Celestia, Luna, and Cadence don’t actually care that they’re even around.
i like this random changeling,
because it tells us that chrysalis is still around and changelings are still going after ponies.
 
I think it’s more that Celestia and Luna don’t hate the Changelings. As long as they don’t try to hurt anyone, they won’t be attacked. and they lived hidden side by side with ponies for a very long time I guess. So “eating love” doesn’t seem to have a negative effect on ponies. (Shining Armor had problems because of a spell to make him think Chrysalis is Cadence, not because of eating love)
 
Maybe that scene also shows that maybe there is a future where Changelings and ponies can live side by side as friends.

This Changeling was of course a joke, but it could be seen as saying something, Maybe Celestia doesn’t have some deep seeded hatred for Changelings like some would think, after all Changelings are still living beings, Chrysalis and her hive were clear enemies because they were deliberately attacking Canterlot and putting ponies lives in danger. This Changeling however, is doing none of those things, he’s just sitting there, minding his own business, behaving himself even if he’s still feeding he’s literally not taking anything from anypony, he’s eating what’s floating around freely in the air.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think Celestia would go around prosecuting, and or murdering something if it’s doing nothing harmful to her citizens, she literally might not give a crap that there’s a Changeling sitting in the back row
 
Personally I just like going with the thought that Cranky met and befriended a random changeling, and he invited him to his wedding.  
I mean, there’s a giant water serpent as the best man, and people are gonna question the Changeling minding his own business in the back row? Obviously he was invited. He’s not attacking anyone, he’s just there… possibly quite literally for the ‘food’. Just being a possibly bro for his probable bro Cranky.
 
Besides, while I hate the term of ‘headcanon’, I do agree with you that I picture there not being much of a hivemind among changelings, and there could very well be shit loads of independent changelings all over the world. Possibly living among everyone in the towns and cities, in disguise. There’s love in the air at all times. Who’s gonna notice them taking some for a quick feed every so often?
 
This one got invited to a wedding, along with a giant metrosexual sea monster… No story needed!  
Though while a story may not be needed, one certainly would be nice!

Yeah, kinda.
Like how Gummy is not actually a deep philosopher, and how Bon-Bon isn’t actually a secret agent and how we’ll probably never see most things that happened here taken seriously because they were made as jokes for a one-time fan episode.
 
Don’t forget who wrote this episode. While it was a swan song of sorts to the fan community consider Larson’s relationship thereto, it is his playpen now, so if he puts it in an episode, they can build on it if they so choose.
 
So don’t count anything out, especially w.r.t. changelings. There’s two more finales and a premier episode still hanging fire, at least.

I know right!? I absolutely adore the concept of the Changelings, and I cannot consider a species that feeds off of love to be inherently bad, Chrysalis could be seen as bad due to her orders to her hive and her actions, but I don’t see all Changelings as being connected to her hive, and honestly the concept of the Changelings living as only hive-minded drones doesn’t even make too much sense, since as a species they’d gain far more as being independent, though that idea might be going against canon, but I’d still love to see more of this as a whole for the species.
