The Lord of Chaos, The Nightmare King, and the Changeling · 10:39pm Mar 5th, 2021
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 wild sometimes! You gotta get crazy! Because if you dwell on your fears for too long with a rational mind, you will eventually be tempted to do very bad things! And that's precisely why Cozy uses sheer magical brute force to subdue him! However, you can never completely kill off your fears because to do so also takes away what it is that makes us human. That's the reason Cozy should never be allowed to become a killer...
And finally, there's Chrysalis, the changeling. She spends most of her time wondering the Castle of Friendship in various disguises so she can talk to the ponies there. She does not dare show them her true form because she knows they would never accept her. This is another "transgender allegory" I confess and the real trick now is to bring her to beautiful reformation so we can see what reformed Chrysalis actually looks like! (There's already a description in my notes for this!) Through Chrysalis, I'm hypothetically learning to conquer my fears of the outside world. However, pretty sure I need to work on actually becoming reformed first?
