All that I touch seems to break in my hands, then it just bursts into flames.

Cozy Glow, cover ups, and a cooking show.

This will be interesting.

Hope you enjoy it. Sorry I've been gone so long. Hopefully not to much longer before some more new content comes out.

Hey man. Yes, Dan did a really good job on the cover. It was worth the wait. I had to resize it to death to get it under the limit which is frustrating because you can't read the small print.

"If you can't stand the heat, Get out of the kitchen
Die!" I really liked that. That was all Daniel ad-libbing.

and then the B-movie JMJ productions, etc. He had a really good idea. I like how the trees of the forest are knives on one side.

Kind of rushed the opening chapter a little with the Past Tense, Perfect News stuff but I think it's okay. Gonna have to tie it in. Got dizzy/traps pain while typing it so I'm not back to writing shape yet.

Okay, I can't believe this has so many downvotes. It's got a ton of good build-up and I can't wait to see what awaits this creepy duo next.

Honestly, the chipperness these two have is what adds to how freaky they are.

Thanks. I like the play between the two. You get the feeling Pinkamena might actually care about Cozy. Despite their physical abuse towards each other.

There's never too much of this story!

Glad you are enjoying it, sir. Should be a lot of fun left to come.

Well, they certainly made some baked bads.

If you work a job at a computer, like me, make sure to exercise good posture and take breaks every twenty minutes to walk and stretch!

I'll try, J!

Hey man! Good to see you!

Hey, it's been awhile.
I always enjoy reading the stories you put out.
I remember looking at the draft you were writing for this awhile ago, but I never got around to reading it through all the way.
I guess now's a second chance for me :rainbowlaugh:

Don't think so, Captain. Thanks for judging a book by the cover but this is a story of love and redemption set in the extended Cupcakes-verse. I'm not saying there's not death in the story but it's alluded to or needed to tell the story I want to tell. So far there has only been one death and it sets up the second act of the story.

There is talk of cannibalism and acts of murder but, it is set in the universe of Cupcakes. Cozy has not actually witnessed any cannibalism. Neither has Pinkamena indulged in such an act. And despite all the bravado and musings of Pinkamena in order to elicit certain behaviors, there have been no attestable scenes of torture or mutilation.

Again, not saying that it didn't happen in the past of the story but this is no longer the blood-crazed murderess from Cupcakes. This is a miserable, old mare who hates herself for the things she has done and Cozy, the young mirror of giving in to evil desires. This is her attempt to reform Cozy and, perhaps, find some mote of redemption for herself.

But, the cover art is not quite exemplary of their relationship nor the regret she feels. It depicts an obvious scene of cannibalism in reference to the original Cupcakes, b-movies, and Italian giallo films because I thought it would be fun to extrapolate upon the exploitive nature of them. Also, hence the 'Relapse' nomenclature. More homage to the slews of sequels that came out sporting "re-xxx" from the late 90's/early 2000's ... and a hint that the semi-kindly old lady Pinkamena who has battled the monster inside may give in to her own demons in order to protect the thing most important to her.

Sure, it's schlocky but it's schlock based on a premise. It's not Pinkamena and Cozy Glow hacking up ponies for the joy of doing so; it's Pinkamena trying to dissuade Cozy from making similar mistakes to those she has made. If she's lucky, Cozy may still have a happy life before her.

But thanks for going out of your way to trash the story you haven't read.

Cozy's Cooking Corner isn't going well for them so far. Hopefully it will at some point.

“The only other place I know.”

That sounds ominous.

jmj

Act 2 is fun, sir. New location, new stress, and an old "friend" begins showing up. Plus more Cooking Corner.

Thank you so much for reading. I think the cover is hurting views and it's definitely getting downvoted for it. I appreciate your continued interest.

Why use Cozy? Wouldn't it be better to use Apple Bloom, seeing as she worked with Pinkie in Cupcakes?

jmj

10513315 I use Apple Bloom a lot. CMC: Friendship Never Dies, Withering Bloom, The Beyond, etc. Also, It's been a while since I have read Cupcakes but I don't remember Apple Bloom being a character in it other than as a reference to another character, Twist, I think. I read a sequel once with her as an assistant but it wasn't by Sgt. Sprinkles.

I debated using Scootaloo because I absolutely loved the askpinkamenadianepie tumblr back when that was a thing but that duo was planned for Pinkamenace II Society even though I haven't written on that story in forever. Plus, I started a story involving Scootaloo as the main character semi-deifying Pinkamena and wishing she could be like her.

I love Cozy. She's so cute and diabolical. I also thinks she's a little tragic. She meshes well with the version of Pinkamena in this final MFC story. I can't go into much detail but the Pinkamena here is not quite the same as the one in MFC. I mean, she is the same pony but she's had a lot of time to reflect and get her problems under control. One is a semi-reformed monster regretting her life and the other is a young, bitter monster still planning on domination. As she's already said in the story, Pinkamena wants to try and give Cozy a chance at a normal life but will Cozy see the errors she's made before it's too late to go back?

In the end I just thought Pinkie/Cozy would be interesting and tell a better story since much of Cozy's background is unknown.

Thank you for the question. Thank you for reading. You've read and commented on almost everything I've written and I appreciate that very much.

The fiction story is pretty good. Although, punctuations is what making this story look bad. I started to noticed it in a few chapters and then some. I give this at least a 6.5/10.

jmj

Thanks for the comment and the read. I'll try to be better about editing but, in all honesty, I absolutely hate it.

Gladly accept a 6.5. I do hope you will continue to read. The story is building towards something and it's probably not what you think. Thanks again!

Glow needs to know how to keep her mouth shut, else I might stitch it up for her.

... Let's not talk about that again...

And this is where my similarities end with your version of me. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... Heheheh... There's gonna be a lot more than shame on me.

Inquisitors. Sure. Painting me a bit stupid here, huh.

Believe me, I wouldn't trust you either...

Heheheheheheh... You've redeemed yourself for now...

But Glow should REALLY know the difference between stupidity and a better actor than herself.

I think she knows the buttons she can and can't press. She runs her mouth and sometimes she has to pay for it. Not in the way you would normally deal with insolence, but Cozy's special. Probably.

jmj

10526056
This is the legit reason for the first coming of Pinkamena. In MFC she told several stories and they were all lies. She also said Pinkie Pie never existed and it was her putting on a fake smile all along. Not true. She took some brain trauma that crossed her wires and changed her on a fundamental level. So the real question is, when she tells this to Cozy later on, why are there no scars, knots, or wounds to prove that she almost died saving Equestria which led to the coming of Pinkamena? Cozy felt her head and commented she didn't feel anything.

You probably know the truth but I doubt you'd want to share.

jmj

10526062
Lol. You feel no shame and you know it.

jmj

10526065
Oh, you don't believe a manipulative little devil that gets Pinkamena out of the house to get licorice (Seriously NOBODY likes black licorice) would lie, do you?

jmj

10526074
You weren't as dumbly painted as you thought. Always a step ahead. Always. Even in the later years.

Thanks for reading and the comments. I'm as pleased as pop. I hope the rest of the story is to your liking.

10526845
Heheheh... I told you. Cozy should know the difference between stupidity and a better actor than herself.

Simple.

Trust me, the truth is a lot weirder than you might think.

I'm not wrong here. I have been fighting to control that beast... And it sometimes doesn't go well. Just recently I ate someone alive... heh.

Maybe you want to be my next meal, jmj?

That aside, I have to wonder. Will Cozy really have the gall to try to trick her again? Because I don't think Mena can control herself like that again.

jmj

10527013
Lol. There's probably worse fates.

Will Cozy really have the gall to try to trick her again?

Maybe guide Pinkamena this way or that but she has probably learned her lesson about attempting to outright trick her. Maybe not though. The story is not finished yet.

I mean, if anyone can kill her, it's me.

jmj

10529983
Struck a chord?

jmj

10529984
But will it come to that? Surely Twilight isn't that bad.

I'm not the same as I once was. I learned. Sometimes the truth is the best thing to say.

jmj

10534741
But what IS the truth and is YOUR truth the real one or a figment of your deranged mind?

I've been writing all morning. I was almost at the point where what was published was caught up to what was written. The chapter I'm on puts you in a familiar place. If only Rainbow was there to enjoy it. Oh well, there's a stand-in.

I get lost in the thrill of murder... heheheh...

jmj

You may like the chapter after next. There's only 5 left in the whole thing at this point.

Stabs and twists just like the first time I read it. One of your best moments.

jmj

10545409
Thank you, sir. There's not much you haven't seen already. Probably only the last currently published chapter or maybe 2 if I post another one today.

jmj

10546851
I'm ... going to end up dead soon, aren't I? Give me time to finish. Probably not the ending you are thinking of but maybe it will give youa smile...one without all those sinister teeth.

Heh... She's the best distraction there is.

Here we go.
You bitch.

Excuse the language. Can't wait to see this happen.
