Looks like it’s up to the Crystal Empire’s hero to save the day again.

Damn… this is one AWESOME picture ^^ I am especially happy with how much detail the artist put into Chrissy herself <3

Oh yeah, there’s definitely alliteration, consonance, and assonance in that connection, so it’s a good one to play around with.

I know, I know, but let me fool around a little okay? I was more thinking in the direction of an alliteration. Lets say, before corruption etc. her name wasn’t Chrysalis but something that sounds similar and related to actual crystals. Anyway I’m done with thinking about crazy headcanons for today.

Really, this makes all the sense.

chrysalis (n.): 1. a moth or butterfly at the stage of growth when it is turning into an adult and is enclosed in a hard case; 2. a hard case that protects a moth or butterfly while it is turning into an adult; etymology: Latin chrysallid-, chrysallis gold-colored pupa of butterflies, from Greek, from chrysos gold, of Semitic origin; akin to Hebrew ḥārūṣ gold
 
Looks like that Hebrew word isn’t copying quite correctly, but yes, Chrysalis’s name does have its origins in the Greek word for gold. I did not know that; I guess you could say this was my lesson in entomology etymology.

Sorry to interrupt your train of thoughts, but the word “chrysalis” has nothing to do with “crystal”. It has more in common with “gold” (chrysos in Greek).

If Chrysalis would ever make an appearance in the show again, I say it would make sense if she tries to take over the Crystal Empire. It’s known for the love and light it spreads, which changelings like to feed on.
 
(Wait a minute…Chrysalis…Crystal Empire…feeding on love…something about a former crystal princess…DUN DUN DUN)

Well, this can’t possibly be good. Unless the emotional resonance of the Heart acts as a food source, but even then, Chrysalis’s ambition likely won’t be so easily satisfied.

Epic.

This is going to be faved by you-know-who!

Just… Wonderful. :o
 
I love the detail on her legs.

This is so awesome!
