TMI TUESDAY
Anyone?

So I haven't been arround for a while, but where does Papi fit into the fanon of MLP?
Papillon was originally Fleur de Lis, though turned into a full blooded changeling Queen through wild chaotic magic. The hive exists largely as a place for me to have fun, include other people’s characters, and share the ideas I have for why changelings are what they are, and the reasons behind their behaviors.

If anyone ever has questions about Papi canon changelings, feel free to send them in and I’ll answer as best I can without getting too deep into spoilers.

I've been meaning to ask, and I'm not sure if this has been answered, but can being converted into a changeling also save someone from a fatal injury, like a broken back or internal damage?
Though it has not in the blog, it has in RP. Conversion restructures the body, and can even repair damaged limbs and regrow lost ones (Albeit more riddled with holes and thereby somewhat less stable.) As far as broken limbs and internal damage…not directly.
Though the conversion repairs damaged tissue and grows new tissue the conversion itself won’t heal all wounds. That’s where love comes in. A well-fed changeling can recover from most any wound if they have enough love to fuel them. -
Should I stream follower pic stuff soon?

Did this week’s Teen Titans GO! piss anyone else off?

Changeling Headcannon: Different types of love effect changelings differently, familial love makes them calmer, romantic love makes them aggressive, etc
I don’t use anything like this for Papi, but I like it. I really really like it.

ok to the mod blog- i reckon they feed off love because they themselves are unable to love (obviously this is not the case in ur hive though) and maybe they have holes because as they change o do their personalities (maybe) and the sort of start to disappear. idk never really thought about changelings much (:P just copied and pasted it)
The inability to love is a fairly common headcanon for changelings, though a little odd given the hive makeup. I believe Cheerilee’s Chalkboard talked about the holes relating to their changing and sense of self as well.

Sometimes I feel like Love is a motivator. Changelings might be devoid of loving, and in a way they conquer other kingdoms in the vain attempt to gain love of their subjects. Their species is in a constant state of decay as they try to gain love. They're the misunderstood, suffering species, which makes them perfect for villains. It's really sad, in my headcanon, and how I see it, they're the misunderstood child who doesn't know that their forceful method of loving is... inappropriate.
Though I’ve addressed the feeding of love in a couple of these posts, I’ll say this: Changelings are indeed a misunderstood, suffering species in Papi’s canon, and for some interesting reasons.

The changelings that infiltrated Canterlot for the wedding shenanigans had been brainwashed to believe they were actually doing Equestria a great service. Reading their minds would have revealed the mantra used to brainwash them. "We have control. We keep you safe. We are your hope."
Interesting way to look at it.
Chrysalis had her reasons for attacking Canterlot, beyond her own lust for power and conquest. She had effectively erased the minds of those who followed her as well, stripping them of their sense of self.
