Can Equestria benefit from changeling rule

[TheMarkz0ne 962]

Let's say Chrysalis accomplished her goal and won. She defeated the mane 6 y draining them of their love thus making them nothing but obedient drones. Maybe Chrysalis dealt with Celestia and Luna by draining their magic, it was confirmed in the comics that Chrysalis can do that. Then she seals Celestia and Luna away. She also Drains Cadence making her a drone too. Same could be said for alicorn twilight. Now I know she's twilight as an alicorn is OP. But when Chrysalis drained the other three alicorns she became nearly omnipotent and goddesses like. So the changelings rule Equestria, friendship WAS magic. But what would pony life be like if the changelings had secured their victory?

The ponies would all be dead, either from having themselves drained of spirit and love, leaving them little more than withered husks, or, as shown by the canon comic book, by just being right out eaten alive.

 

It's pretty heavy stuff.

They all be dead, all the ponies would either live as slaves fed on by changelings, imprisoned, or dead in some way. The changelings being in charge couldn't be benificial at all for sure.

I don't think they can benefit from being taken over and being enslaved by the Changelings when they feed on their love. Life in Equestria would definitely turn into an anarchy, and the Changelings would just imprison and feast on all of their love until they find more. It would turn from a peaceful nation into a nation in peril. Turning it from a monarchy to a communist government. Life there would just be a complete disaster.

Why Not? Sure, Equestria would probably be rid of all its color, happiness, love, emotions, and friendship and most of the ponies wouldn't care about life.

 

 

Big Whoop.

I'm pretty sure they'd be worst off than they'd be with Discord. At least eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain. Eternal Chrysalis comes with internal bleeding.

I'd say it depends at least a little on how much of an impact normal feeding (as opposed to the sort of aggressive mental control that Chrysalis uses on Shining Armor) has on ponies. For example, if the takeover eventually led to a society where ponies and changelings lived peacefully as equals under a benevolent government, that could be considered a huge improvement due to the benefits to changelings being very large while the cost to ponies being very little.

 

On the other hand (hoof) Chrysalis probably would not become a benevolent ruler of ponies; they would become slaves and food, not only causing widespread misery, but leading to further rebellion in the future and overall increasing the suffering and conflict.
