'His Two Favorite People' by Dragonpone

Hello, everyone! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Thorax, and I'm the (still pretty new) leader of the changelings. It's taken me a while to build up the confidence to say that, honestly, but I suppose it's better late than never! I know everyone is busy, but I'm here today to share something with you all, and hopefully you'll be as excited for it as the changelings are!

My kind used to take love forcefully under the rule of our former queen, and for a very long time we lived as emotion vampires, feared or even seen as repulsive by other species. In my own self-exile from my hive, I discovered that changelings could put an end to their constant hunger - not through stealing love from other creatures, but through sharing it with them. By expressing compassion for others, and receiving it in return, I proved to my kind that we could be more than parasites!

Okay, no, this is ridiculous - you're ridiculous, Thorax. Why are you using that eyesore of a color? Who do you even expect to read that?

Pharynx, what are you-hey, let go of the keyboard! I'm trying to make an announcement for Huggo de Buggo Day (coined by Spike by the way, everyone)! And, what are you talking about? I'm just using my chitin color...you're doing the same exact thing.

Yes, because this is how you rock an exoskeleton.

Yours is an eyesore, Thorax, because you're an eyesore.

...you know you don't have to be so mean to me, especially in front of everyone - I'm trying to do PR, here.

Oh, I'm sorry; hello Pharynx's brother, I'm Pharynx, my lot in life - among other things- is to pick on you. Perhaps we've met.

Sorry, everyone, Pharynx can be a bit...invasive, sometimes. You know what, I'll just use my eye color instead.

Anyway, because of our discovery that sharing love is better than taking it, today is a very special day for the changelings! Now that my kind is peaceful, we've taken to celebrating our new self-sufficient way of life by sharing it with other creatures! Love is what gives us our energy, and that wouldn't be possible if not for our friends and family, who provide us with that love.

Today, on January 6th, try extra hard to spread love and kindness to those around you! Whether they're a changeling or not, give them a hug! All of my hive will be doing the same, as we pay our neighbors a visit and offer them our company.

I'm sorry, I don't actually have any events or anything for any of you, as far as this site goes! To be honest, the changelings just got a computer, and we're still learning how to use it. It took weeks for the drones to pester Pharynx into getting just one for the hive, because he's pretty sure the changelings are going to fall behind on hive chores and duties now that they have a distraction.

Whiny little sacks of glitter...I mean for the Hive's sake it's practically a lamp with all that light it gives off.

In summary, today is a day to celebrate the fact the changelings have joined modern Equestrian society, and that we are now creatures of love, not creatures who feed off of love. As you go about the site, as well as around in the world outside, give a changeling a hug! Give your friends and family hugs, as well! They're a sincere, personal way to show that you care.

I'm actually gonna hurl, Thorax.

If you must, but just don't get any on me, I have changelings to hug!

...you're such a dork, how are are we related, again?

Thank you for reading, everyone! This is actually my first time posting on any website, let alone on this one. Could you let me know how I did in the comments? I'd definitely appreciate a hug in the comments or maybe on my profile, as well! I'll be doing the same throughout the day! I'd love to see if I can get more changelings on here, it seems like a really warm, friendly place.

Until next time!

Thorax

No, don't leave that, Pharynx!

I had planned to do something for this event in advance but in transitioning back to having a routine (IE, winter quarter), I forgot.

At least my avaderp is a Thorax now.

Dare I introduce the concept of computer bugs...?

What a marvelous topic. We welcome adorable buggos such as yourselves, Thorax. Why, I feel as if we're getting the band back together. Right, @Starlight Glimmer and @Trixie:umad:

Sure, Discord, whatever you say...the 'Overthrew a Tyrannical Queen' squad is back together, again. 

Welcome, Thorax! This is a great idea, really - the changelings could really use a boost in notice from around Equestria, not everyone is fully aware of their newer, kinder nature, yet, even still. I'm sure they'll find a warm welcome, here.

I concur, the Welcoming and Hospitable Trixie believes the changelings deserve a second chance, after all, they have a much better leadership situation, now, all thanks to us~

And on the topic of events, I know it's a little late in the afternoon already but, I don't see why we couldn't come up with something fun to celebrate today. Just give us a little bit and we'll come up with something!

@Thorax

This is what has become of my once great Empire of conquerors? I have witnessed and caused the rise and fall of many kingdoms over the years, some great and many weak. This .... is a new level of laughable. 

 

Technically your nation was not really an empire. At most you would be considered a city state. Don't feel too bad though, the Crystal Empire made the same mistake too for some reason... or are they part of Equestria? It's really hard to tell these days.
