Fridge / Bad Future Crusaders

Fridge Brilliance

• Babs Seed warms up to Bright Eyes and becomes protective of him surprisingly quickly despite ponies universally despising the creatures. It doesn't make much sense until you consider Babs Seed (most likely) suffered a stillbirth and Bright Eyes acts like a child. It's very possible it's her mother's instinct, or perhaps even regret and guilt that caused this.
• Queen Twilight's forces consist of Featherweight who is cowardly and skilled at communicating with the changelings, Lightning Dust who is brash and unswervingly loyal, Rumble who relies purely on his physical strength, and Dinky Doo who is her own protege. In other words, poor stand-ins for Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and herself before her Heel–Face Turn. It's very possible she picked these ponies trying to replace her friends.
