An AU where Twilight Sparkle has been a changeling this entire time. Her parents after having their first child, Shining Armor, are seemingly unable to conceive another child. They'd had no luck trying to conceive Another child themselves, so they started considering adoption. That was quickly decided on when they found an abandoned changeling grub/baby on their doorstep one night. Shining Armor was excited to have a sister, and the parents couldn't say no to him and to this young changeling. The family do extensive research on changelings, they have to keep their new grub Twilight Sparkle safe and healthy right?

Optional additions-

Shining Armor helped Twilight create her pony form by showing the younger toddler her drawings.

Twilight Sparkle does know she's a changeling. What she doesn't know is that she is a royal changeling. One of Chrysalis's hive finding the grub in the newest hatchlings and knowing what their Queen would do tries to find a family that would keep the child safe and alive.

Cadence knows since she was trusted enough to babysit Twilight during childhood.

Canterlot wedding goes very differently for multiple reasons. Shining Armor isn't as easily hypnotized by changeling magic do to being exposed to it throughout his childhood. He sees through Chrysalis's pretty easily. So he's the one to end up down in the Crystal caves instead of Cadence.

Can you draw thorax? I think hed be so cute in your style!

Okay- but seeing the Changelings in G5 will be my new ambition now.

Very old Thorax redesign from 2017 I’m reuploading now for... reasons

My possibly unpopular opinion is that I think the reformed Changeling designs are cute, but Thorax’s colors always clashed imo so changing his purple hues to red instead was a simple fix

:] I wanted to make a mlp sona and i always thought the changelings were gnc af

as we all know, @askashapeshifter do a lot of chat behind the scenes and a lot of non-canon silly-ness happens, and a crack baby came out of a long running basment joke. 

The extension of the joke being Shift gets super huge and its assumed hes got a boatload of eggs, but its just one really pampered egg with a lot of goo padding... and Doodle calls her Princess cus of the Princess And The Pea

Doodle has really nothing to do with her creation, but she does have Flax so they have to be friends. Hes named her Princess Lobelia and shes a lot younger than Flax but theyre about the same size because shes born at a higher status.

sy is fun to draw

ABSOLUTELY

An Au or head canon where instead of shape shifting that would change their entire shape, changelings instead just have a very advanced form of illusion magic. This illusion magic being extremely powerful and being powered by how much love, or another emotion, they eat. This means the less amount of food they have available the less magic they have available at their disposal, this being one of the key factors why Twilight Sparkle became suspicious of the disguised Queen Chrysalis besides seeing"Cadence's" major shift in personality.

I have spoken.

experiment. idk if i like it much, but i learned a lot new horses are coming very soon but let's not forget the best old horse

Royal changeling cousins -

Coxal: Daughter of Pharynx & Garble

Gossamer: First son of Thorax and Capper Dapperpaws

Zenith: Second son of Thorax and Capper Dapperpaws

I redesigned King Thorax and Ocellus. And tried to change Reformed Changelings overall, unsaturated colors have never looked so appealing.
