Changeling Heroes · 8:35pm Jun 12th, 2018
Long ago, in the distant days of 2015, I wrote a reaction fic to "The Cutie Map" wherein Discord delivered an ultimatum to a freshly deposed Starlight: Abandon your quest for vengeance or face the consequences.
"The Cutie Re-Mark" aired. I followed through on his promise, taking Starlight to a world of true equine equality, where the only legacy ponies left were the mass-produced love batteries that powered the changeling nation of Omnifaria. And that would've been the end of it.
Save for one sentence.
You know, ponies have actually been romanticized as of late.
That got gears turning. Not mine, mind you. Ultra-the-HedgeToaster's. We've been discussing his sequel for well over a year at this point, and now it's finally begun. You can check it out via the link in the cover image below:
Why yes, that is a bug-bus.
Okay. Given I love to screw around with timelines and different futures, I feel like this is a must-read.
It has changelings, it has a touch of sci-fi, consider me interested.

That line. That one line. I really liked that one line.
And that's how Omnifaria was made.
...And that's how I wrote a slice of life piece about friendly changelings in what was originally a horror setting.
Juxtaposition and world building for the win!
2015... Wow, hard to believe it's really been that long since that came out.
Thank you again for your help, it is invaluable!
Actually, wait no, it is very valueable.
You've got a great talent for, among other things, putting all the bits and pieces together seemingly instantanously, the same way Sherlock Holmes solves a crime, only in what to me feels like 5 seconds.
...Gotta love the #shameless plug #for someone else. I totally deserved that.
By the way, noticed the ships on the river? One of them's a water strider.
Whoa
