Let’s build off of the idea of the voices of the fallen lingering in the hive mind, and the queen’s mind for a moment:
Hello?
Is anypony there?
My Queen? Mommy?
I’m scared….
That’s dark dude, brilliant and dark.
I’ve actually not thought about molting/shedding of old shells. I prefer to think that when it’s time to shed a changeling burns away its old shell.
I find this idea horrifying beyond words.
If outside of the hive, and away from a stable and consistent source of food, not only will the hunger drive a changeling to madness, but it may drive them to eat anything, and anyone nearby. Cannibalism is not above a hunger starved changeling.
I love this idea. (Team Tavi)
Very much so. Warriors and workers are numerous, and while they do still have a sense of self and individuality it is not strong enough to sustain their queen. Having been different creatures before conversion, the love of drones is much greater and more varied. This can be changed however, if a queen overfeeds…..
Among many drones, yes. It has a tendency to send Buzz Buzz into fits of either screaming rage, or tears.
I like this. I really like this.
What do you mean once? That’s every other Tuesday and third Saturday.
