Another one of "my" headcannons: Changelings do not have as much individualism as many other blogs describe them to have. They may have different personalities, but usually don't try to differ their appearance because of it. Imagine a teenagers need to be accepted into their clique, then have that feeling multiplied by >1'000 and you have a changeling's need to be one with their hive. This is why leaving a hive is considered one of the worst crimes, punishable by death.
I can see this happening in some groups.

I've heard various terms like "Hunter", "Raider", and "Rogue" being used to label changelings based on their duties or behavior. What single-word label would you use to classify me?
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. -
Headconon for Papi's Hive: My headcanon on Love in it's purest form has a lot of nutritional value and it gives the Changeling that is feeding on it a slight feeling of pleasure.
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. -
So you change a pony into a changeling by overloading them with love?
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. -
So, if changelings can potentioally live forever and can only be killed by physical harm, doe sthat mean whoever joins your hive has a very good shot at living forever or do you plan to do something about this whole living forever thing?
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. -
Are there dedicated hunters/gatherers which gather food and/or love? Does the Hive has its own food supply grown inside the cavern walls?
A proper hive with a good Queen, such as Papi’s and those seen in woonastuck, among other examples, does not need an alternative food supply as the love produced by the Queen for her subjects, and vice versa, is enough to subsist upon. In less stable hives there will generally be designated scouts sent out to hunt for live prey, gather flora, and on occasion, capture ponies to be fed upon.

Can love be preserved in some way for later use? Do changelings produce some kind of nectar like bees?
Love can be regurgitated in a purified liquid state, similar to nectar. This is done primarily by the Queen, and is generally what starts a pony’s conversion, as the taste of it instills in them a changeling’s hunger and alters their body to consume it.
