Trust me, I'm a Changeling.

During sex, it’s perfectly fine to say “yeah”, “yes”, and “oh yes”, but how awkward would it be if someone kept screaming “yep”.

Mac kept repeating “Eeeeeeeyup”

It was... An experience.

[brainy-twilight]

Brainy: Yes! Of course!

Proto: Gooo!

((So, big news the first update back! Proto the experimental cyber changeling finally hatches and Brainy and Carapace are now engaged! Exciting stuff! This was actually meant to happen MONTHS AGO, but my art block hit before it could happen. But now it has! I hope this makes up for the wait! I’ll have more stuff up next week!))

((Reblogging the birth of Car and Brainy's child is a good note to go out on, I think.

Okay, so this is where I make it official: I'm discontinuing my Rainbowverse blogs as an ongoing thing. Probably obvious based on not updating for four months and the rest of these blogs in the universe also being quiet, but there it is.

This doesn't mean I'm never doing anything else with the characters though, just that this live-updating real time format tied to liveblogging a webcomic isn't cutting it for me anymore. Indeed, as you can see here, Carapace is continuing to be a character on Brainy Twilight's blog, and I am involved in ideas for her, Proto and other members of supporting cast who are my characters who may come up along the way.

So, I recommend that if you enjoyed this blog and aren't already following Brainy Twilight- Unlikely as that blog is far more tumblr famous than mine has ever been- Go follow that. It's better than mine ever was: Quality artwork and a more flexible format. Can't recommend it enough.

I guess I'll notify here if I decide to actively do something else with this set of characters, but for now, goodbye. It's been fun. A good experience in writing dialogue that's put me in contact with some great friends along the way.

Do you keep wipes next to your computer?

My butt doubles as a wipe dispenser.

I thought it was a StarCraft thing. Particularly, a Protoss statement if the MunchKING is not mistaken.

Balrogs have wings.

It’s cooler, therefore it’s an objective fact.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

So Carapace. How does it feel to pledge your life for Aiur?

As much as every nerd picks up a bit of obscure Tolkien trivia over time, I honestly don’t care enough to work out what this about.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Aside from that Techno queen that borrowed Diamond Tiara's blog every once in a while, have any other Changelings followed your lead and gone for an artificial form?

It’s not all that popular in this universe. Guess I have abnormally low racial pride or something.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

what be this foul heresy

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Even if the someone in question is just a lump of brain meats like you?

Hey, just because I follow my marefriend’s fashion of brain storage doesn’t mean that’s all I am. I have several bodies nowadays and am highly adept at co-location.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Did you know about OMNIVAC?

Yes.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Brain nuzzles!

Are nice, yes.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

This is a grump zone? My mistake. I thought it was a rump zone. I suppose I shall just have to be enthusiastic about butts elsewhere.

It can be a grump zone and a rump zone. Grump and rump are not mutually exclusive.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

I saw on Brainy Twilight's blog that you're still uncomfortable sharing a large tank with any other brains, even if it was just for a brainy sleepover. Are you working towards overcoming this anxiety, or do you think that you will always be overly possessive of your adorable brain girlfriend?

I have a very broad definition of personal space when there’s nothing between someone and my precious brain meats.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Why turn into a windmill? Did it just feel like a good choice for an inconspicuous building?

The feel of the wind in my blades is relaxing.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Croach... I knew it! I knew Changelings were actually the Vord!

You’re a vord.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

Congratulations, you two! Do you expect another six to eight weeks before Proto's developed enough to come out of that tube, or will the cybernetic enhancements alter the due date?

Oh, changelings don’t take anywhere near that long to incubate our young.

[priddypinkie]

…I’m actually curious as to how that is going to work. Do you mind if I look over the blueprint documents?

[carapacereadssomecomics]

The science tube? It's really just a fancy incubator/overprotective security system to protect my unhatched child.

So no, you can't review the blueprints of the device keeping Proto safe and secure.

[carapacereadssomecomics]

If Proto's part-pony and part-Changeling, what parts are we talking about exactly? If you fed Proto Royal Jelly, would Proto be able to turn into a half-Changeling Queen? Will Proto have advanced magical ability because Brainy was a unicorn, or perhaps be as strong as an Alicorn one day thanks to science and what nearly every other Twilight Sparkle has gone through in other worlds?

We’re all just assuming a hybrid here then? The purpose of the initial experiment, which admittedly has now become an exercise in child rearing, was to create a new form of changeling.

Anyway yes, the queen gene is in there, amongst a few other things I made sure to add...

[carapacereadssomecomics]

How long will it take before Proto is converting a mother's love into Changeling food, and what will you be feeding Proto until then?

I started developing artificial croach after the roughly four seconds it took to realise how incredibly awkward asking Khepri for some of the croach her body naturally produces as a Queen would be, even if she is just throwing it away right now.
