Realizing the position they're in, the changelings decide on a different plan than the one their queen's giving.
Author's idearz: Some credit goes to this person. They did a thing and I decided to do another thing they did by basing it on the thing with this thing while they did their thing...
Well... This was an interesting alternate take on the episode. I must wonder, with the Bug-Bitch's rating among the Changelings, why it didn't happen sooner? Tyrants almost never really work out well in the long run. There are always revolts.
Ha! I like this! I kind of wish Starlight had said something along the lines of, "It happened with Thorax, why not them?" but I think that would've taken away from the humor, and she was probably a little too freaked to think of it anyway.
Upvoted.
So it's no longer just my opinion. Changelings are in fact revolting.
Not sorry. Ever.
Heads up, you have an error in your description: it's than in this context, not then. Then would imply that they try their plan and then the queen's, not their plan instead of their queen's.
Spike I can understand you and Rarity but who's this other guy?

Doomie?
At the part where the link goes to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, it doesn't start to the video.
Question:... How yo do dat?

True, but consider that Saddam Hussein ruled virtually unchallenged until the AMERICANS decided to invade. Only then did his government fail. And before that happened, the hope was that his two sons would take over ruling when he died and then have a falling out, throwing the country into a civil war. There is also North Korea, which is in its seventh decade and the son has replaced the father with ZERO signs of any loss of power.
8258654
But I should point out North Korea is staying static, if you will. It's not evolving in any way.
8258718 Well, not counting their nuclear program. Which is a little like giving a baby a box of hand grenades.
8258654 Um. No. Read up on it. There's a reason why he stayed on top of the heap, and that reason was worth whole swimming pools of blood and lots of mass graves. One of the reasons he was not deposed was that his tribe (and religious sect) was a minority, and that any sign of weakness would lead to an Iranian-backed rebellion. He was a murderous cold-blooded killer, and his kids were psychopaths.

Also, remember that the Changelings were also under the impression that that was how they had to feed.
And also, she ruled by fear. And probably conditioning, too.

Hey there were no riots under Sombra's rule. Chryssy found food for the changelings, so maybe she wasn't a tyrant.
8259434
There were no riots under Sombra's rule, because he utilised something known as 'mind control', which suppresses the ponies' free will.
Why do you think the crystal ponies were so out of it when the Crystal Empire returned? Remnants of Sombra's mind control.
Haven't watched the episode in forever, but I'm certain Alternate-Timeline Sombra placed mind control helmets onto his subjects, to wage war against Celestia's ponies.
With mind control, Sombra could do anything he wanted - peasants starving? Don't matter - they don't realise they're hungry until they die. Common ponies having traitorous thoughts? Don't exist, due to mind control. Need a source of soldiers to fight the war? Have a couple of mares and stallions in a 'foal farm', educate the foals in nothing but warfare, and have them fight until they literally die of exhaustion.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he would've done to Celestia (and Luna, if she returned and was no longer under Nightmare Moon's control) should he have won - personal slave/slaves, perhaps?
8259507
It was never stated that he used mind control. It's possible that it was just fear that kept the ponies under his control.
8259273 So like this
8259556
Yeah, the after-effects were basically PTSD.
Which is some of what made me realize that MLP was awesome, if they were brave enough to include that in a children's cartoon.
8259273 I think I did it right
"peaking through" should be "peeking through".
He shrugged, "Celestia offered me 30 bits."
Chrysalis face-hooves, "I walked straight into that joke..."
this was pretty amusing and I wouldn't mind seeing more of it.
Chrysalis: "And swearing revenge! I'm pretty good at that! Right Right?"
Good to see the changelings from your other stories back!
Happy Tuesday!

Correct: He's the very definition of a TYRANT! You just proved my point. It is NOT inevitable that the population of a Tyrant will rise up in revolt. Both North Korea and Iraq proved that point.

I don't think it works with the embed feature. I don't see a link or a video in your comment. I think you just paste the link directly in the comment.
8260951 It works for me. The link is within the word "this"

Oh, I forgot that FimFiction stopped coloring links green. Stupid change, in my opinion, if they only underline when you're hovering over them.
Thanks for taking an interest into this story, everyone...but...
I just don't get it...
Stories that take me months to plan out, weeks to write, and days to look over barely get noticed.
While fics that took me a couple minutes to plan, three hours to write, and a few minutes to look over get to the featured box...
...
I can't even...

Don't stress about writing fanfiction. It's a hobby right? The best stories come from when you feel an urge to write. Forcing yourself might cause you to doubt yourself, therefore editing what might of been amazing.
Great story btw
This is so hilarious, including how Starlight and Trixie's dialogue keep getting repeated by Chrysalis
One of the funniest stories i've read!
Good job!

Something I thought reading that phrase... please don't hate me
I'm a little lost here... Is he referring to Grogar?
Uh?
*Searching word*
Well... I learned a new word
PRICELESS!
8261851
… I just realized that. Huh. If it helps, I wouldn't mind looking over some of your other stories?

Sometimes I'm a little TOO lost...

Welcome to my world. And just about every other pony writer's world.
This was hilarious.
Really funny story. Though, it would be nice to see a sequel where they attack the hive, but it's pretty obvious how it would end. It would probably be better if it was made into a really comedic easy battle, similar to this one. that's just my opinion, though, do whatever you want.
Well, if everyling and everypony came together, the joke is still there?
*ba-dum, tish!*
That was a nice and funny story to read.
Errr... Something that I feel should have been pointed out LONG ago - "unanimous"specifically means total agreement. A 12 out of 15 vote is not unanimous. A 15 out of 15 would be.

True, but they ain't the brightest tools in the shed, are they?
What's with those Changeling names?
Someone get a burn heal, holy shit
Hahahahahahahaha they knew the whole time, 10/10, much better than the show
...
GOD I loved this fic, a million points to changelingpuff
I certainly understand problems in the family, but to want to directly destroy your mother it seems to me too much through the chur
Vive la Revolucion!
I feel like this should have happened, outside of thorax, more changeling would have question their queen on global take overs after the first attempt. Especially given other races that are slowly forging bonds with the pony race
