I also noticed that Twilight’s mane is completely layered over the base of her horn instead of having it sprouting from the middle, like her unicorn horn. Perhaps that could be improved as well.
 
About Thorax’s antlers, considering the scene from “Celestial Advice” where Luna had trouble fitting the lanyard of his Pink Heart of Courage over them, and her use of force doesn’t seem to cause Thorax any discomfort other than awkwardness, I think it’s safe to assume that they don’t have the sensitivity of antennas (as someone else pointed out, they look more like the mandibles of a stag beetle) and probably serve no purpose other than cosmetic (to give Thorax a more regal look in line with the changeling’s bug theme).

Okay so like I said the creature in question is a magical equine-insect. Its horns could be either antennas, or just straight up horns, or perhaps even both because once again we’re dealing with a fictional magical fantasy creature.
 
I’ve never seen the horns on a changeling treated as antenna or referenced as such. Therefore, I do not think that is what they are. They do not move, they behave like horns, and for Chrysalis, she uses hers like a unicorn’s horn. It is only then safe to assume that the horns on a mature changeling are, well, …horns. This means that this particular part of their body design is inspired more by their equine side than their insect side, as I’ve never seen them referenced as some kind of feeler or detection object. That takes us back to my original point….
 
I feel like Thorax’s horns are big and bulky as an obvious reference to deer or some other equine-like animal like that. Maybe a moose, idk. My point is I feel like this particular design is implying Thorax is a mature male of his species, so I feel like if Twilight had a race swap, she wouldn’t have those or at least not in that shape, unless she also got a gender swap. I feel like instead she should have the single-horn design more similar to the other mature changeling we’ve seen - Chrysalis.
