So where would Mave or Calista get the resources to produce offspring and lay eggs? Would she only enter a host after having mated?

@Damaged  
I’m saying in a world where they do exist.

@Background Pony #4426  
Alp-luachra don’t exist. Nor do sapient pony-tapeworms.

@Damaged  
But can’t these parasites cause brain damage?

@Harmonio  

 
Imagine the Interstellar docking scene soundtrack playing to this.  
“C’mon Mave… “

@Background Pony #4426  

 
Nope. In modern society (both pony and human), food isn’t exactly hard to come by. So long as there’s no other side effects, she’d be perfectly safe.
 
Remember, there’s less human cells in your body than other flora/fauna. Take for example the tiny arachnids that live on everyone’s face or the various bacteria that live in your gut. You are less a single living being and more a conglomeration of species working together to maintain your health.

@Badumsquish  
But aren’t parasites inherently dangerous? Or do you think she’d try to promise to do (or not do) various things as a sapient being?
 
And would you be a willing host of her? Would you be like “She just wants a home” or perhaps “She’s not safe from predators”?

Mave: GET OFF OF ME YOU PERVY TAPEWORM!

Prepare ur anus

Welcome to the artist:badumsquish tag. I can tell you’re new here, but that’s fine. Enjoy your stay, but be careful where you sit—everything is ponies.

A ponified tapeworm, that’s a new one.

@Eeveeinheat  

 
I actually kinda really want to see this

@Podbeing  
Everything is a pony until it isn’t, and nothing is a pony until it is :P

@Podbeing  
Do tapeworm poners get tapeworm boners?

If we have tapeworm poners, do we have pinworm poners?
 
…not sure I wanna know the answer to this one…

@Badumsquish  
I still wouldn’t rule out a parasite somehow possessing another one.
 
That would be unusual, but noice

@bAv_DB  
;)
 
@Eeveeinheat  
She’s not just a tapeworm, after all, but a tapeworm pony :D

@bAv_DB  
I love oviposition as much as the next degenerate – as my favorites can attest – but the thought of a tapeworm laying eggs curdles my very being.
 
…Well, to be fair, the tapeworm does have a cute pony face and an adorable personality… She’s kind of funny, too… Fucking hell, now I’m thinking about the tapeworm coiling tighter around Mave as she aligns her snatch against Mave’s own in preparation to lay eggs – I have to admit that it’s not as unappealing as I first thought. My cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

@Badumsquish  
Ruh roh, we getting some Calista/Mave oviposition? please say yes.

@Eeveeinheat  
Even she’s not that bad of a person as far as personality and such goes :P
 
@Background Pony #1D63  
That’s a bug in the site or with some computers I think, to be honest. I’ve had it happen on my display where images like this are super dark, to the point of being a black silhouette, but when I reported it everyone else was like “no it looks fine on our end”
 
@Mellow91  
She’s too big, but one of her eggs isn’t :D

H-hot!!! O///O
 
 
This makes me wonder what would happen if a parasite entered a parasite’s body…

… And then they do it like Snakes…

@Background Pony #1D63  
To be fair, there are not a lot of black canon characters. ;)

@Damaged  
Well, canon designs do not need such calibrations to be perfectly visible, now do they?
