Welcome back to Occupied Equestria
Dark Star, Silver, Iron, and Midnight continue their investigation and hopefully, the take down of a group of organized criminals who have taken up operations at an old fortress on the sea shore. They have already rescued a number of creatures and persuaded them to join in their efforts. Now, they most hope that they can strike with enough force, and quickly enough, to destroy the evil that has taken up residence there.
Up in the North, the ponies are waking up, ready for a new day

>>118781>exemptiontbch I can see why as it is the best option for a desperate nomad
Still, explain to anyone in the past several hundred years that it is less objectionable than using, for example, a deer, and you'd be given a wide berth. Understandably so; Metokur watched a documentary of people who got hooked on horse poon (yes, it exists) and they definitely came across as freaks. I know it's not a real "argument" but yours could apply to any particularly complex animal like elephants or dolphins. I once read a science-fiction novel where a woman and a dolphin fell in love with each other (it was pretty bad).
I can't say anything about the picture since I haven't been following this thread very well (still catching up) and I got into the controversy after it was deleted. I'll just say that when I was 12 I read (human) biology textbooks just so I could flip to those pages.>>118792Agreed, styles and shapes are what make drawing something tough, especially if the zebra in question isn't in the Ponymaker "standing stiffly facing to the side" stance. It's the same reason why drawing hands is really challenging.
>>118799Is Zwolf/Sands a mare? [Read more] >>118801Sands is a mare, zwolf is a worker. Changelings are on a three gender system with Drones as males, Queens as full egg-laying females, and workers as infertile females
>>118802I see why she would be hesitant to undisguise then. Iron is going to have coitus with a trap!
Look at him! Look how eager he is to activate the trap! He is savoring every single
moment of affection until he comes out as male! I bet he'd undisguised right as he was about to kiss her fake privates so he becomes gay!
But to be fair. He can always have temporal female genitalia.
>>118804He as in Iron becomes gay, I mean.
>>118806Ohfuck, did you say worker? I forgot drones were the males, not the workers.
Wait a minute... I remember a tidbit on their biology which would make her quite the interesting NPC to have around. Do you know what I mean?
>>118808What happens with a worker when there's no Queens around for a long time?
>>118809SighSome species of bees have the ability of workers to lay eggs after a Queen has been lost, or is failing and not replaced. Normally, the queen’s pheromones prevent the development of ovaries, but they can develop in some workers after a prolonged absence of the pheromones.
Bees have a chromosome set where females have 150% of a normal chromosome set, and males have 100%. A fertilized Queen will always lay worker eggs, an unfertilized Queen will lay only drones. Even a fertile days queen can lay underutilized (drone) eggs. Queens come from the same fertilized eggs as workers. Queen larva become such when workers place the egg in “Royal Jelly” that stimulates development into a Queen. Workers do not possess the ability to store sperm. As such, egg-laying workers can only ever lay unfertilized eggs, which always become drones. There is a species of bee in South Africa that had the ability to kind of mix genes in the eggs it lays, allowing it to lay worker eggs through an asexual process. Workers in hives will tend to eat or remove eggs laid by other workers, and not by the Queen. The high degree of social relation between the members of the hive (something like a 75% genetic similarity between workers rather than the normal 50% in sexually reproducing species) helps kinship-altruism and social behavior.
Ants go a step further than bees, having some female workers called “gamergates” that have the capacity to store sperm. They can reproduce sexually, and can even entirely replace queens, whereas egg-laying worker bees cannot. I am unsure about wasps.
Changeling workers would gather nectar and produce honey for the hive in much the same way as bees. Because they could travel very far from the hive and be gone for very long periods of time, any kind of change that would cause a Changeling to become an egg-layer would take a very long amount of time.

Zoe Quinn is an insectoid confirmed. >>118811I didn't say it was immediate, silly goose. I can wait a long time for her ascension. Heck I haven't even shagged a most likely consenting zeeb out of incharacter doubts about his worth as a stallion for about a year IRL, but I can understand if she's not able to transform.
Nevertheless, a worker is a rare find as far as I know.
I hope she values repeat love extractions.Bet they can suck real hard.The love that is. >>118813How well Iron can handle a succubus-worker, either in the short term or the long term, is a bit up in the air right now.
>>118812I know right? It’s weird how that Greek term sounds like that >>118814Silly GM. Iron's not a pegasus. Earth Poners are always on the ground.
I do believe his body can take at least two drains before going limp.
Although I don't think he'll ever experience it at this rate.
>>118815Iron has that Bug Bite Fever.
>>118818Nope. That's why it's all scribbles.
>>118819Iron has all kinds of fevers these days.
Actually, I lied. He can write, only his hoofwriting sucks so bad his prose is illegible.
>>118819>>118822Oh yeah, he got the bug bite
>>118828Man, you sure have it bad for those two, huh?
And to top it all off, some lewds.
This concludes the Luna showcase.
>>118847>spoilering lewdsWhere do you think you are?
>>118848In a place where horse puss isn't accepted for some reason.
