Should it be tagged “cured changeling” or something like that? Cuz I want to see this version individually. Please

Oh, well, to be honest I don’t think that way at all. Though it’s just headcanon I don’t think of the rest of the races as evil. I think we’ve just seen bad examples doing things for their own reasons. I mean, Iron Will wasn’t really evil was he? He was just doing his own thing being a motivational speaker. Same with all of them really. Though I think Ahuizotl was just one creature, kinda like Discord.  
You could say Crysalis is mostly evil, I mean taking over Equestria isn’t very nice, and if she created the Changlings would that make them evil for following her?

“as a more feral race”
 
I see them like the nomadic Mongols. I think more culture wise than race wise which leaves a lot open to individual experiences.
 
I don’t want to see a complete retool or a flanderization. I would prefer it though if it wasn’t Ponies best at everything, you can teach us nothing and all that you do is bad.
 
Also they are kind of wacky and like to joke around in the comics. There is a lot of prankster in the changelings.

Yes but I wouldn’t like it all that much. Goes back to the old MLP standard fangs, bug eyes, bug wings, holes, must be cursed or evil. It is okay to look different as long as you aren’t menacing, like nice safe Zecora.
 
Griffons, Dragons, Diamond Dogs, Minotaurs, that Anubus thing from the Daring Do book… even Spike when he got big and tough… All of them overwhelmingly dicks. Just look at all those sharp things on them, obviously bad. Even Luna / Nightmare Moons with those sharp evil, evil teeth.
 
Little to much cute = good going around for my taste. I would like to see a socket wrench shoved in those works.

If I may add my two cents, I always say the Changelings as a more feral race, than one that would have a whole kingdom, like the Equestrians. To make note of ALIS’s last point, I don’t think there’s any political or cultural aspects at work, rather, its almost in their instinct for all of them to be aggressive towards not only Equestrians, but any others whom they can get love from.
 
However, even with my theories, that doesn’t mean there’s not still a lot the show writers could potentially expand on, for us to see.

“Maybe I should ask one, there are quite a few in Toronto.”
 
Not trying to knock people in Iran by saying that BTW. That came off as more arrogant then I would have liked…
ALIS

@Background Pony #4761
 
The same way you determine between “free” Iranians and the ones that serve the Ayatollah… To give a current example. Maybe I should ask one, there are quite a few in Toronto.
 
On that note, how much time do you think a Soviet gas station attendant gave to contemplating the utter destruction of NATO?
 
I guess a normal changeling wouldn’t wear back armor though.

How would you differentiate between these ‘free’ changelings and the ones who serve Chrysalis?
Red Rover

@ALIS  
Wouldn’t everyone like to see them expand on changelings a bit? I don’t think I agree with the being ‘cured’ either. But what if Crysalis was turned into a Changling by some dark magic long ago and she made the lesser changlings instead of transforming normal ponies into changlings?
ALIS

I don’t like the idea of pre changelings being turned into “monsters” or post changelings being “cured” at all.
 
I think having them as a separate race interacting in the world in a way other than feed me. Before they started talking I didn’t like the hive mind borg angle either. No personality.
 
I would like to see changeling character development, and I don’t mean chrysalis character development, that’s like the entirety of pony being dependent on Celestia for characterization. Like if all the ponies morphed into royal guards and that was the show, that is how I view Chrysalis only development.
 
No I would really like to see drones (if the are even called that) interacting with the world separate from Chrysalis like ponies do separate from Celestia. Civilian changelings in an episode would be one of my favorites things.
