"The ancient scrolls state, and always have stated, that the "prey of the world shall forever be subjected to the might of the Apax Predator" Hence, Ponykind is and shall forever be the natural prey to changelingkind. Any notion of peaceful co-existence is but a fantasy, spun by the ponies' leaders in an animal's fear and desperation in the face of impending doom.
Do not be taken in by the ponies' lies, my children. They are all aware of their situation and will make any attempt to escape it, for that is their only means of defense. Make no mistake: past the protection of their Alicorns Princesses and their delusions of world-wide supremacy, they are inherently weak. It is part of their very nature as prey. Their stallions are weaklings; their mares have long since demeaned and waterdowned their matriarchal structure. And their children will only grow up even softer and weaker.
Why else do you all think it took ten minutes, with an army of changeling conscripts from the villages, to capture their capital? It was a sign from the Gods themselves that they have no right to life on this earth. They only deserve to exist underneath our hooves so our kind may grow stronger, more powerful and secure our place as this world's master species race.
So it was written, so it shall be."
-- High Changeling Priestess Beezla, preaching to the changeling masses.

"Beware the Changeling, for he is Tirek's pawn. Alone among the Maker's creations, he kills for sport, or lust, or hunger. Yea, he will deceive the innocent and murder his own kind to possess their essence. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his lair in the badlands, for he is the harbinger of death."
--- Anti-Changeling sermon, as preached by a controversial unicorn priest. with ties to racist causes, and to religious/political extremist groups. Although popular in Canterlot, he was later expelled and excommunicated by his church for his hateful views.Β

"Faust above, and folks say I hold a grudge..."
--- Princess Cadence, upon hearing of the former holy stallion's rants.

Also, I included my own little changeling sermon here.

Cadance: "... and even that's a complete load, because the only person I even hold the closest thing to a justified grudge against is Chrysalis. I can't even begin to tell you how sick I am of all these unending stories that paint me as this evil, conniving, genocidal monster!"

"Uh, Father? Yeah, uh, don't mean to put a whole damper on the sermon, but... we're kind of a bit too late here.
I mean, they're kinda already out-breeding us like ten to one. And we've pretty much stopped having kids, so it's only gonna make things go faster. They're like hydras: even if I killed one, Mama's just gonna pop out ten more.Β
And what badlands? That's like a thousand years ago. They've got this whole Empire in the East; we're all relying on all their cheap goods and electronics. Sooner or later, we're gonna have to start relying on them to bail us out.
I'm just saying, if any of you wanna stop them, we're a kinda a few hundred years too late, guys."
--Griffon wiseguy at the sermon

Unless the Changelings experiences something like the Lost Decade and overpopulation causes disastrous problems on their side...

Say, it was a while ago, but did you see my Changeling Priestess sermon? I can't remember?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I remember. It was good, and terrifying.Β

Thank you. It also helps to drive home a point.
"You see, there's the difference you and me, 'Father', as well as our peoples: You can talk a big game. Okay, I'll give you that. You and your people are tough talkers. But that's it. That's it, Father. You can all talk trash, you can beat your chests, but that's it. Me? My people? Yeah, we talk trash too, probably more so. But the difference? We can back it up. We know how to fight and fight good; we don't need to cower behind our monarch for protection the second someling stands up to us.
Tell me, when was the last time you or your followers had the strength to actually pick a fight with a changeling and, for that matter, win? None. Not once. Here I am, the High Priestess, your rival, and you don't even have the gut to use any of your spiel on me. Because you all know full well if any of you had at it, you'd all have your trachea torn out. You ponies, you can't fight, and I know for a face you can't kill. Never have, never will.
You don't hate us, you fear us. You're absolutely terrified of us. You know we want a global empire of our own and that no matter hard you try, you can't beat us down or bully us.Β We're already out-breeding you by miles; your Princesses are practically inviting us to move in and take over your homeland, and year-by-year, pony domination of this world is coming to an end, while the era of the changeling rises.
There's nothing you can do to stop it, and I think... deep, deep down, you know that, don't you? But your egos are just so big and nourished you'll never admit it. So instead... you just shave your heads, slip on your little jackboots, wave your flags, and get together in your miserable little groups and, frankly, bitch and moan. Because that's all you ponies know how to do.
You've been angry and miserable for so long now, Father, I can tell, and you're only going to grow older, more miserable and more irrelevant."
-- High Priestess Beezla, in the one, brief instance she and this particular pony priest actually came face to face.

Now this is even more terrifying.
Also, remember the Changeling Badlands pic?Β

Oh right, I was gonna write something for it. Sorry about that. I'll get to work on it when I can.

No problem. Do you think you could send a link to the pic in question? I got some ideas a-brewing.

True, but right now, I can see their development at the moment akin to China's, where it looks like it's growth, growth, growth. And even if it is a lost decade, the changelings are still hardly this stateless, no-rights-whatsoever minority that Equestria can do whatever it wants to without consequence. And even if they were, that's hardly the policy of Equestria and if a pony is found guilty of discrimination, THEY'RE the ones who are punished. I'm just saying, it's hard to advocate persecuting a different species that pretty has a sovereign nation, pretty much outnumbers you, has a superior military, etc. And not to mention, the average changeling can pretty much kick a trained Royal Guard's ass, so what chance does an inbred Canterlotanite who has never once been in a fight stand? Not to mention, ponies respond to threats by running and hiding, a whole did in the face of a zebra, a herd of stampeding ponies and filly with cutie pox.
The pony "master race" isn't looking so up...
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Socio-Economics, I'm sorry, maybe you'd like to take the sermon."
"I'm just saying--"
"No, no, no, no, no, come up and give a go. No really, I'm curious."

It's a shame they didn't add the general changeling to mix things up a bit. Nice work on this! ^^
