Moral of the Story - To Change A Changeling

[@TheCommenterDragon]

"To Change a Changeling" is one of my favorite season 7 episodes! It was such a treat to see Thorax and the Changelings again, And it was interesting to learn that Thorax had a brother. Pharynx instantly became one of my favorite Changelings I mean I really liked the color palette of his corrupt form, And the fact that Pharynx had horns like Thorax when he transformed makes me theorize that maybe Pharynx was destined to become 2nd in command of the Changeling kingdom.

There was a footnote at one point in the previous Moral of the Story where I put forth my own head canon being that Thorax and Pharynx transformed the way they did because they have the most love.

Nice discussion, Brawny. Being strong for others while having the patience to not be controlling or aggressive is a good message.

[@thefoilguy]

All excellent points. Having a role means you need to learn where and when it's effective. That's as true for leaders as it is warriors and nurturers.

What made matters worse between you and your older brother, I think, was the way your parents took his side. Fear of retaliation is inexcusable, in my opinion, especially in families.

[@OptimusSmyth]

I'm writing a short story that takes place before "To Change a Changeling" that deals with Pharynx and several other changeling OCs that refused to transform like he eventually did. Hearing this talk about Pharynx helped me a bit with explaining how Pharynx will end up being the one to stay behind while his friends decide to leave.

Being a warrior used to be easier, because life was constantly dangerous/deadly. Nowadays soldiers/warriors come back from having to be at least at a 10 of alertness/readiness to use violence, and then rejoin a society that's mostly at a 2. And the people who are at a 2 often can't even conceive of someone who is willing to use violence to get what they want while fearing the soldiers/warriors who would protect them.

[@BronyDebates]

Indeed. And even a lot of natural born warriors can get traumatized by what they go through. And then they get very little or absolutely none of the support they need for that.

There always the right and need for self-defense the Changeling need they own version of The Royal Guards how Equestria does it.

a morale thats now more important than ever

[@BronyDebates]

I'm curious what makes it more important now as opposed to any other time?

[@Calbeck]

Hear, hear.

[@komodrasteel8019]

sounds like branch from trolls

[@AJPiersonToonParadise]

Well it's finally here.

[@Trent-Girone]

(Imitates Brawny) WHAT THE?!! Edit: I know I should be in bed.

[@Trent-Girone]

I remember once in the Patreon Discord server, Brawny said to me: “Dang, Trent, what the heck are you doing up so early?”

[@auramoonlight6978]

If I'm to be completely honest I actually missed the videos where you talked about Christianity and how there are things that make you struggle with your face like addiction or temptation things that distract you from the Lord Christ I wouldn't mind doing a debate on that with you on KZbin or even sometime on anything actually on discord because to be honest the one thing I'm still struggling with and I'm now breaking out of it is video gaming addiction and it's been keeping me away from Jesus for too long, God bless you and for all the good work you're doing ✝️. PS please be careful out there we are living in very scary times I'm not sure if this is the scary times that Jesus is warning us about when he may return to the Earth soon or maybe this is just a warning that this is what the future generation will look like but either way I pray in jesus's name if even if it's not in our times that we stay close to the Lord no matter what especially with our families God bless you and amen ✝️

you the pen your the brother the sword and the pen is mightier than the sword

[@hariman7727]

He who controls the sword often controls the pen.

I'm making a changeling oc that's asexual coded but with how changelings work in mlp I'm not sure how to do that does anyone have any suggestions?

[@nathanduazo3555]

Brawny, is brony debates like a podcast?

[@FubukiTheIcyKing]

I wonder if the Changelings went so hard on being pacifists is because they felt immense guilt from when they were raiders? If there's enough changelings that have been in raids they probably feel terrible for all the ponies they abducted for the hive who never came home. I mean changelings are a well known threat, so they probably felt they had to pivot hard just to be accepted by general society.

Wew.. content :D

[@brighteyes7426]

Asking for ideas? This is obvious perhaps, but The Poor Richard’s almanac and Rich Father Poor Father but might be of aid. Think big now and again perhaps.
