What if the events between seasons eight and nine went differently? What if Cozy Glow was actually good? Who would be there to redeem her? These are all questions many bronies have asked. This is my retelling of that time period.

Question regarding the description (because I’m a literature nerd): Aren’t evil people/characters already disturbed?
9850902
In a way, I guess. Just not here
Somebody just gotta write his own take on Crime and Punishment, but with Cozy
I do admitr Cozy Glow being sent there was seemly over the top. Till the last of the series, and showed she was beyond help.
But I do love this idea you are writing down, and love to see where it goes.
It is a AU version of the main plot.
I hope their message is given to Princess Celestia as well, seems she taught Twilight too well in handling problems. Either banish and leave it to someone else to handle or just banish it.
Like she did with Luna, that why she lost the ability to use the elements.

Well, that would depend on your own philosophical beliefs. Is everyone who does evil things mentally unstable, or can people make the choice to be good or bad?
9851137
I think people still have choices but to want to do bad things for personal gain still makes the person a bit mentally unstable, even if they aren’t diagnosed with anything.
I feeeeel like you should calm down from the swear words, cuz that was pretty rough.

I mean two F bombs make a movie R... So should this be mature then?

That’s only in the US. In many other countries, swearing doesn’t have the same impact on rating
awww so cute ^_^

Thanks
I'm interested in the concept and I look forward to seeing where this story goes.
Cozy being not evil but disturbed sounds interesting. Though the direction the story goes in is not really my thing to be honest. It feels like the easy way out to just have Cozy be completely innocent and be controlled by someone else. I would have preferred to see her act still like herself and that the way she acts had some deeply rooted cause. But that is just my opinion.

Yeah, I kind of lost interest in this story because I didn’t like where it was heading either. Maybe later I’ll pick it back up and see what I can do

You could try and finish it, or try and frame the topic in a new story. It really depends how you want to do it.
A reformation like Discord's and making her abandon her ways might be the most interesting. To have her be the evil face-making filly she is, but then change for good while still keeping those traits. Starlight for example still could flip and make faces despite being reformed. Not to mention that she kept a mischievous streak.
You know, there were a few interesting lines she said at the working together villain episode. "Ponies, do what I ask them to do! It is my thing, okay!" and "I am cute and lovable!". Those frame her personality rather well. She knows that she has an adorable exterior and she thinks that alone makes her cute and lovable. And being cute and lovable means ponies have to do what she says. In her mind at least. So I imagine whatever the case was, at some point she had learned that lesson and abused her looks to get whatever she wanted. Maybe she even made it into the school like that with manipulation. Though then she struggled as friendship was a foreign thing to her. The CMC helped her then, but Cozy Glow twisted the definition of friendship as a way to gain power. Maybe she only got really ambitious after that conclusion, or at least even more ambitious than she was prior and developed the plan to come out on top as the Empress of Friendship. She is disturbed, because she doesn't realize that her entire world view is wrong. Because she doesn't understand friendship.
At least that is my analysis about Cozy Glow, in case it helps you.

Its not that Cozy was "beyond help" by the finale, more than that her bad behavior was being enabled by Discord who was setting her and the others up for failure just to boost Twilights' morale to become Princess.
Twilight used to have her own convictions that would have made her a better leader than Celestia ever could become, but due to years spent deferring her judgement to others and trying to follow Celestias' example to the letter caused Twilight to lose them: A Pawn made Bishop, a Bishop made Queen, a Queen made a Pawn again. Twilight should have instead strived to become or learn about the Rooks alongside the Bishops, a physical symbol of civilization, of power, and a bastion of the battlefield that masters the lay of the land and can see farther and more than a Queen or King ever could, a Knight may be able to cross distances and go behind their opponents to strike from behind, and a Bishop may circumnavigate a direct conflict, but the Rook due to the vantage and insight that they can provide can crush their enemies with overwhelming might and tactics.
After the Changeling Invasion of Season 2:
Celestia: "We won, let's party and forget about the fight to celebrate a royal wedding."
Thrawn: "There is satisfaction in defeating an Enemy, but one must not allow oneself to become complacent: there are always more Enemies to be identified, faced, and vanquished... "
Was she really a princess for that long? Also, something tells me when they get back there’s gonna three mares with a belt or a paddle, or at least there better be.
Ok now she’s over exaggerating.
I don’t know what kind of adult would allow this, but the fact he’s willing to do this for fam says something about him.
I wish I had a dream like this.
It was at that moment they knew they f*cked up.
Why did this get cancelled?
This story has potential, and I hope one day you un-cancel it and continue the story.
I know that this story is already canned. But I have to point out how Twilight is behaving like a little bitch over this.
