Okay, I've completely edited and revised the first two episodes with Chrysalis's reformation and now, I just need to get the final five chapters plus the denouement and I'll be ready to re-submit my story to Equestria Daily! Also, the new artwork I commissioned of Cozy and her two friends is now posted as the cover pic and I gotta say, I'm very satisfied with where this is going! Although, I was considering renaming the final chapter, "Reconciliation of the Centaur Brothers" or something of

So, I wanted my second Cozy Glow story to be showcased on Equestria Daily, right? Apparently, the unedited prelude and a few other details are problematic for this! And so, I'm revising it, one chapter at a time and I'm currently commissioning a professional artist to draw Cozy and her two friends for a background for this story. I know with a little bit of work and perseverance, I can get this done by the month after next!

As I write about Tirek, I remember his first appearance in season 4. I recall how he represented self doubt as he would sap your energy and strength and force you to bow to his will.

That's the way I felt for a long time... Like, nobody would accept the real me and so I needed to pretend to be "male" or whatever... I was

So some of the allegories I've been using in my story might come into question? So I'm going to talk about the three villain models I'm using to illustrate my points. First off, there's Discord, who represents my chaotic past. Metaphorically, overcoming him is what gave me the strength necessary to overcome my fears, who are represented by Sombra. He wants me to take over Equestria after all! (Commit suicide) In my experience, the best way to overcome him is sheer force of will! You gotta get

Cozy's psychosis in my story is in reality, a representation about how I feel about being transgender... I feel like I can't just be like everyone else! I feel like I have to be better than that! I feel like life threw me a weird curve ball there and truth be told, it did effectively end my marriage earlier and created a whole new world of struggle for me. But looking back, it did help shape my character and help me develop empathy. Well, there's good and bad in everything yes? I also have a
