I can see this happening in some groups.
Recorded part of “Let It Go” with a crappy mic. Enjoy
Seeing as I don’t know you at all, I can’t really judge. Given what I could glean from a moment browsing your blog I would say ‘Rogue’ or 'Scout’.
You poor poor thing.
With all of that buzzing and chanting of ‘things’ in your head it’s a wonder that you ever sleep.
True! As previously stated, the purified love a Queen regurgitates to convert a pony is refined enough to feed a changeling for some time, and potentially heal wounds and some diseases.
A changeling who overfeeds on love can enter a euphoric state, not unlike being drunk. As such, Hearts and Hooves Day can be a rather interesting time in a changeling hive.
Sort of. Most creatures cannot digest empathetic energy, and so the purified love regurgitated by a Queen overwrites the pony’s physical being to allow it to be digested.
This, of course, leads to the pony being changed. Usually the process takes some time, as the love is in such a refined state that it can last a typical changeling a rather long time. In these cases the converted pony is put into a stasis pod to ease the change along. In other cases the influx is powerful enough to forcibly convert the pony within moments.
As far as changelings know, they have the capacity to live forever so long as they are properly fed and do not succumb to illness. They are like lobsters like that.
A changeling won’t die from old age, but there are many, many other natural causes that could lead to a changeling’s death.
