Beetlebrain

"HOWDY IM A COWBOY!! Bang bang bang shoot shoot bullet bullet gun zap zap zap pow zap pow! I AM BLENDING IN!"
Meet Beetlebrain... ok, well, meet Beetlebrain again. If you've seen 'Slice of Life', you've already met him. He's the idiot changeling who attended Matilda and Cranky's wedding without a disguise.
He's one of the.. less connected drones. They're a little like the exiled ones. They're still part of the hive mind, but they're more distanced than the others from the center. Anything that would be harmful to the majority of the hive is distanced.hey're not thrown out because generally they sort themselves out. They're thrown out to fend for themselves for the most part, but they're still sort of there. Just in case. But it wouldn't be that big a problem if they, you know, ended up dying. Because whatever. There's many reasons that they could be 'exiled', too violent, too crazy... And Beetlebrain... he just doesn't disguise. At all. But he thinks that he is always disguised perfectly. All he does is wear a small getup and shout out various affirmations of his ponyhood. He just wanders around Equestria aimlessly, with no commands from the Hive mind, he does his own thing. Beetlebrain is just there. I think the Hive has pretty much forgotten he exists, he's that disconnected from the rest of them. But he's never particularly afraid of being discovered, because his disguise is foolproof. Completely foolproof. He might be simultaneously the luckiest and dumbest changeling ever. "Shhhh! Be quiet! I'm not a Changeling in disguise! I meld into the crowd..." The guy accidentally befriended Matilda during one of his wanderings, although she mostly found his whole inability to disguise himself as charming and cute, him completely oblivious to the fact that she knew he was a changeling.He just thought he was. So he was invited to their wedding. Cranky would have complained, but he was the one who invited a sea serpent to his wedding, so he didn't exactly have a good hoof to stand on. Directly prior to the wedding, Beetlebrain paid a visit to Appleoosa, and, well, everyone in the bar simultaneously decided that they'd had too much to drink. Braeburn spent most of the morning wondering where the heck his extra vest and hat had gotten off to. This conundrum was solved very easily. He dumped the disguise in a trash can and was off to the wedding. He also has a bit of a problem understanding costumes as well as transforming. He tends to get just a bit mixed up, seeing all the ponies in Dodge Junction wearing tall ten gallon hats, he'll go find a top hat and proclaim "I have procured a tall hat just like you all have on! I believe this one can hold 11 gallons! I am blending in!". That's his catchphrase. He affirms his disguise by shouting this loudly so everyone knows how good he is at disguising himself.
No one is quite sure how he's still alive, honestly.
