So Cozy Glow is an allegory for me in the story and I understand that... It has also come to my attention that I appear to be giving her everything I once needed in my life? It's almost like I'm caring for her, well me in the story? Although the latest bombshell I dropped while writing yesterday kinda blew my mind, even though it really all makes sense when I think about it? I mean, I faced that demon alone! I almost didn't make it when I think about it, but my body seems very tough and I have
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
The first chapter of the sequel to At the End of Ambition is up. I've decided to carry this story forward, despite the fact that it was intended to be one-shot. I thought for a while about how to go about it and this is basically the direction I've decided. To be honest, I don't really like what the final season ultimately did with the villains. I won't spoil anything but they really dropped the ball with Grogar and the final battle, while cool, ends exactly the way you think it does. I think
With chapter 5 we do some checking in, mostly setting the stage for what comes next. I'm looking forward to getting to the next chapter as that is where one of my major ideas behind this story makes itself prominent. The feedback for this has been great so thank you to everyone who is reading, commenting, liking and favoriting; it's greatly appreciated. Enjoy
Suddenly in the mood to write more Cozy Glow and King Sombra stuff...
but it'S FREAKING ALMOST 12 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I watched the new episode and all I can say is WOW! This episode was spectacular. I thought seeing an episode that focused solely on the villains was amazing. After seeing this episode I am thinking more than I was before that Cozy Glow, Tirek and Chrysalis will turn on Grogar at some point. What I found hilarious and adorable was how Cozy Glow kept on saying that Grogar put her in charge, typical Cozy for you. It also seems like she doesn't have any doubts that those three could come up
...Did anyone else suspect that she was Chrysalis in disguise? (Next episode is the Chrysalis one, according to Wikipedia)
Hm...
There may be something in the works. Maybe.
It might have something to do with a certain pesky pegasus filly and her stress-case alicorn rival. Do you guys want to see what happens?
I've been thinking a lot about what I wrote here over the course of about 17 days. I've been re-reading segments of it and trying to make sense of it, because the truth is, I just knew I had something to say. But I did not know exactly what that was... But the more I analyze it, the more I'm starting to realize that at its core, this is a story about letting go. Here, I'm consciously making a decision to leave my past behind... Like Twinkle Shine said, I don't need to remember. Simply
I'm thinking of testing the waters and getting back into writing now that I'm guaranteed to be sober and whatnot.
No more shitnanigans to distract me from the world of hoers.
I posted that story roughly ten minutes before I had to go to work, and came home expecting some people to have some pretty strong opinions about it. I fully expected to have some people accuse me of defending Cozy Glow, or taking it took far. The biggest expectation I had was for people to accuse me of jumping on the bandwagon that is the pretty loud outcry over this episode.
Funny how the one I expected most was the one that didn't happen.
The truth is that I actually had no control over the nightmares Cozy experienced in the last chapter. As such, it stands to reason that I should figure out what they mean before figuring out what they would mean to Cozy Glow. So I've begun reviewing them and I just took some notes on what those visions mean to me. That way, I'll be able to interpret them and let them play into the next chapter.
You know, given that spoilers are in order for those of you who haven't seen the finale. I really shouldn't have to be outright obvious and say spoilers are in order, but given Princess Platinum Blonde elected to call me out for this when I dropped the bomb of Lightning Dust (Screw you Lightning-Bitch!) returning I figure I should probably forewarn y'all. if you don' want to read about spoilers which are probably all over the internet by now anyways... The door's that way.
One interesting aspect of the Season Nine Finale is that Discord actively advised the Princesses to punish the League of Evil with petrification, which is to say the exact same punishment he endured for over a thousand years. By "actively," I mean that he stepped forward and decided to speak to them of his own initiative.
So I spoke to my editor earlier today and we're looking at about two weeks for the final chapter of Trixie Interviews, plus epilogue... I confess that I'm feeling somewhat emotional, although Cozy lives on in my new project. I've been working on the first chapter and I have just over 8 pages and cranked out another 1000 words today! In chapter 10, we saw, A Filly Named Cozy Glow, as I was trying to paint a picture of what sort of person Cozy actually is. In the first chapter of this next
