Trixie and Twilight are best ponies! (Diamond Tiara is best filly :D )
[SPOILERS: Season 8 Finale]
Alternate take on how Cozy Glow's story ends, 'cause I feel it deviated a bit from the standard pony formula and could've been better. Also I liked Cozy :(
Cozy Glow is put on trial for her crimes, her fate to be decided by the High Court of Equestia. Starlight Glimmer has decided to show mercy on her once-friend and defend her, but can she succeed?

Interesting for sure. But the fandom needs to accept that Cozy Glow was an unrepentant bitch and wasn't sorry for a damn thing.
Tartarus is too good for her.
9161584
I think you meant to say unrepentant.
They should've tossed her into a pit full of ferocious bear-sized puppies. An eternity of merciless snuzzling would teach her a lesson.
9161628
Dangit. Yeah that's what I meant. Thanks for the catch.
Yeah, no. Just no. I'm fairly sure here Cozy held no remorse for her actions. She wanted Tartarus, god knows, why, but she wanted to be sent there. That alone says volumes about her sanity.
Absolutely fucking brilliant.
Alondro finds Cozy guilty of being an impossibly informed and experienced 8-year old villain, "For acting like every bad OC HiE child villain ever... and reminding me of "Boss Baby", I sentence you to... the next Star Wars movie."
Cozy screamed in horror as dark shadows moaning and shrieking in unearthly voices slithered out to drag her to her fate. Like, that time in "Ghost", and stuff.
9161584 I found her to simply be a ridiculously implausible villain. I was waiting for the reveal that she was Chrysalis, or a demon, or... anything else than actually a child. I don't even want to bother with the litany of questions that raises, for which there are very very few possible believable answers.
Let's get real here, she's friggin' 8. I don't how super-brilliant a kid is, they're not going to be experts at complicated planning at that age. Even the brightest kids ever on Earth have never managed to carry out a brilliant scheme of any kind until they're at least in their teens.
And two, who the hell taught her all of this? Who's kid even is she? She was terribly unsatisfying.
I liked Cozy, but she deserved her fate.
Alondro smiles at that mental image.
I know who it is...
A clown IS a big spider!
Best ending ever!
Definitely would have shut people up about her.
And the alternative ending of the prank calls, definitely a nice add in!
10/10 Should've happened.
I think it's more likely they are setting something big up for season 9.
After all, that look she gave at the end wasn't a look from somepony unhappy to be there. Looked like it might have been her plan all along to get there and meet with her penpal.
Considering you would have to do something really horrible to end up there, maybe her plan was to get herself in there....
It did if you follow the comic series.
9161695
With you on everything but the Chrysalis theory. I don't know what Hasbro was thinking when they thought this was a good idea.
For crying out loud, this makes Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, at their worst, look like saints by comparison. Which is saying something.
9161846 Child super-villains tend to be problematic in most cases, unless they're being over-exaggerated for comic effect and the audience is in on the joke from the get-go (such as Stewie or Mandark).
For something like Cozy, we NEED the backstory immediately, or at least some sort of basis for how this grade-schooler is as potent a villain as Saruman. If they were going to give her a backstory or a hint to it, the ending was where it needed to be. Instead, not a single question was raised, despite the situation naturally raising a whole boatload of questions ANYONE with a fragment of a cerebral cortex would think to ask. There's no investigation, no questioning, no glimpse of a 'true form' or 'actual identity', not even a basic villain expositional speech, no NOTHING! This tells me either they don't have a backstory for her yet, or what they have is so pathetic they're hiding it until they can hopefully think up something better.
Instead, Cozy felt like a generic OP villain shoved into someone's amateur fanfic for the heroes to beat, and throw in a lazy 'I'll get you next time!' "To be continued..." hook at the end. She is as bland a villain as the PoS, which at least had a partial backstory... even though the show has now utterly forgotten about the PoS apparently. So, I'm doubting we'll ever find out what the hell it was or where it came from.
9161695
I thought much the same, and was likewise waiting for the reveal that she was something, anything, than the foal she was (that idea she could've been Chrysalis in disguise is a seriously good one, and the set-up for it was all there, so they could've totally gotten away with it without a hitch and without changing much of the episode's plot). The idea decidedly seemed half-baked on that aspect. At least the rest of the episode went satisfactorily enough for me despite that, so I can still enjoy the episode for what it is.
Maybe they should've just made her a teen like the Young Six...most of the other students are around that same age, so it would've only made her fit in all the more and made her end fate a bit more...justifiable. Oh well.
But anyway, because she's a foal, I would think that calls for some punishment other than Tartarus. She's still got her whole life ahead of her, so you never know. She could still change for the better. After all, that has been a reoccurring theme in the show.
Although...there's no disputing that Cozy IS pretty dang cuckoo for Coca Puffs. And...now she's been stuck next to Tirek for all eternity bugging him, so seeing he's certainly not guiltless in this whole affair too, he IS getting punished too, so...
I dunno. I guess I can see the matter in lots of different ways. I acknowledge there's both upsides and downsides to the whole finale.
9161889
Hence why I think it's now painfully obvious Hasbro no longer gives any buck about G4, outside the Equestria Girls stuff, and is now shifting all pony only staff to concentrate on G5.
9161985
And even the EQ Girls thing is debatable. It is not as good as it use to be.
9161642
No, it's called being a fake ass bitch. She's positive about absolutely everything, even if she had a better alternative.
9161642
9161769
Maybe her plan all along was to reform Tirek :P
9161786
Well yeah, but as Starlight said, he didn't tell his story fast enough :P
I like more this ending that the cannon one... You should send it to Hasbro
Maybe Tartarus is Equestria's version of juvenile hall. Cozy glow can't be forgiven and reformed like everyone else until she reaches the age of 18?
No one ever suspected her to be a mare in her 40's. . .
Man, remind me to make a summary of a tragic backstory if I ever decide to go into super villainy.
Man, loving your take on Cozy and all the fun mischief she can get into. Hope there's a sequel/recurring appearance of Cozy in future fics of yours.
Reform School always sounds as if they just try to make Cozy join their harmony cult, but maybe I translate that wrong.
I just don't like it if Characters like Starlight change 100 % after being evil.
I'm glad that she just changed around 85%.
Oh I like what you did and be prepared for me wanting more probably
While this is maybe overdone, I always image every pony to be like this (to soft) and every former evil main char or human coming to Equestria being normal.
Here i didn't knew what to think about it.
Later when they said "she didn'T said sorry", it was a bit sad and funny how true it seems to be sometimes, that it shocks them so much.
As much as I like mlp, I also like it if they mention stuff like this which feels like the truth sometimes too.
9161584
I don't really understande why you guys want this or that character in tartarus sometimes, like Trixie where it starts with others missunderstanding her being a "show mare", who needs to act like that more or less and then being jealous and challanging her.
After the whole thing they just throw her out of town and no one is helping her since she didn't made the bear attack the town.
They should have tried to help the kid and put her somewhere else where she is monitored instead of instead of putting her into pony hell.
9161696
I liked her too, there are just characteres where your suprised how much hate they get. I mean She did something bad, but with some characters it'S just easier to understand their side or what could have happened, or even just what they could have done instead of taking her to tartarus.
I wonder how different could be Cozy Glow in the human world...
9161584
Furthermore, she's made it crystal clear that she's not going to give up on her goal until it's achieved. No matter how many times you stop her.
9197088
Exactly. Course how she plans to do that from Tartarus is anypony's guess. And of course like every villain, she didn't plan on loosing period, so she probably doesn't have a backup plan.
9161930
9161695
The Cozy-is-Chrysalis theory never had much traction, to be honest. The red herring of her working for Neighsay, that had much more hints in the show itself. Like how Cozy immediately appeared when Twilight and Rarity wondered how Flim and Flam got their hooves on her book, and how her words to the Student Six echoed much of his racism.
Instead, we got The Omen Filly, to prove even cute school-age pony girls can be Evil Made Manifest. Thing is, you don't lock child psychopaths in a deep dark dungeon and pretend they don't exist, at least not if you'd rather avoid looking like medieval-backwards.
9202109
Basically, there were a lot of other better ways they could've taken Cozy than the one they ultimately did. But they didn't. *shrugs* What are ya gonna do, right?
Well at least Cozy Glow didn't resort to bring up the one night in Spike's room.
9161642
Insane people, and especially insane children, go to institutions.
They don't go to prison or hell.
<LoL!> Very amusing. The Cozy Glow we got to see sounds like she'd get into that sort of stuff even if she wasn't banished to Tartarus.
A nice little read. Seems you had fun putting it together, too. Nice job! :)
9232497
You realize she wanted to go there not because she is insane but because it’s just another step for her plan. She deserves to be in hell for what she did but why did they put her RIGHT next to her co-conspirator. Equestria deserves to be destroyed for that stupid decision making
9257067
If both of them are together, they'll be unstoppable.
9197337
I'm willing to bet being put in Tartarus was part of her plan. Menendez Effect.
You and every other mare that cares about more than looks and status.
Thanks, this made my day!
9232497
but how many are insane enough to bring on a nearly complete destruction of a country, maybe even the world. Without magic equestria would had been done for. either way this is all fiction.
I loved the story by the way. It was a good laugh
Just a friendly heads-up that I really couldn't come up with a more suitable title for my story - it's not meant as a challenge or anything, and I put a link to this one complete with recommendation in the summary. And even if I end up using Blueblood as prosecutor, I Pinkie Promise it's total coincidence - I forgot he was in this one. Not that your story's not memorable or anything - I doubt I'll come close.
Oh, and since I'm here:
Can ponies do this?
9161696
That's part of the reason of why I killed her in my fan-fic "Cozy Glow Meets the Boogeymare."
Ha! Nice Phoenix Wright reference and jabs at poor villain backstories
