Hmmm, how to have had AJ become Aphid in @asktherottenapple?
A. Changeling parasite sent by Chrysalis to infect one of the Mane Six?
B. AJ was always a changeling but never knew and Aphid is a manifestation of repressed resentment and desires?
Leaning towards A.
Quick vote to decide the name for the main character of Rotten Apple. I can’t just call her evil queen AJ.
I’m thinking Queen Aphid for the evil AJ bugpone. She’s open to converts, willing or otherwise, so if you want to be a drone feel free to submit a reference.
A Queen needs a hive, don’t she Apple Bloom? And there’s so many about that owe me…
The dark deed has been done. Still not set on a name for evil Queen AJ, so suggestions are welcome.
They’d still be her closest drones, or other things, but she’d enjoy her place above them.
That’s actually where it started. Scroll Scribe/Darnell suggested an image of AJ molting out of her pony skin as a changeling drone or queen. I drew it, really like the design I did for the changeling part shown, and the eyes reminded me a lot of Chrysalis so the idea of an evil, corrupted applebug has been eating away at me ever since. I’d need to come up with a regal name for her though.
Fine! Okay! I really want to do an ask blog where AJ ends up corrupted and becomes an evil changeling queen, operating on some of the same changeling headcanons as Papi but completely separate from Papillon’s Hive.
And it’s all @darnelg‘s fault.
If this post can get 30+ notes then I’ll do it. If it gets 50+ notes the blog will be open to NSFW posts.
Bear in mind that it could affect update frequency on the cowpony blogs.
Totally not tempted to make an evil changeling queen AJ blog. Not gonna do it. You hear me @darnelg! I won’t do it! It’s not going to happen!
Now that sounds like something that’d happen in an ask blog, which I don’t intend on doing. So maybe, but probably not.
