Celestia has reached the eldest age for an alicorn, and in order to continue ruling Equestria, she must once again transform herself back into a filly.
Celestia has reached the eldest age for an alicorn, and in order to continue lifting the sun for Equestria, she has no choice but to transform herself back into a filly.
She's left herself, and Luna some very detailed notes on what to do next.
*Breaks away from canon events happening in Season Nine. For example, Cozy Glow is still trapped within Tartarus.*
A struggling young adult finds herself in Tartarus as the nefarious Cozy Glow. If she wants to go out and freely explore all of Equestria with her villainous buddies... she was first going to have to change this evil filly's future.
I wasn't the most consistent fan of My Little Pony, in all honesty. In fact that show wasn't the only thing on my list of interests. For a long while I had left those colorful ponies in the dust. I practically missed seasons 7-8 because I had gotten bored. However... it was the last season that drew me back in. I guess I now know a bit about the show, but not everything. I definitely knew of Cozy Glow however. She was hated by everyone. Well, except me. For some reason I liked her as the mischievous little filly she was. Her character interested me and I wanted to learn more. I wanted to see what kind of history she had. Why did she decide to turn evil? She was probably the only reason I went back to previous seasons.
You could guess how disappointed I was when the finale came up. Instead of helping her, they turned her to stone. Instead of trying to figure out the issue, they left her behind to be forgotten. Everyone cheered and laughed while Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek were turned into statues for the rest of eternity. I was displeased. Afterwards I drifted away and instead tried to focus on my work. I had to, after all. I was becoming an adult. I was growing up. Though the stress might pile up on me, I had to keep going. I had to get things done...
I could keep going... couldn't I?
It seems however that the universe had decided to drag me back into a world of rainbows and magic. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly woke up the next day inside a cage in the deepest, darkest chambers of Tartarus. Not only that but also as the small pink bundle of feathers that everyone loathed and despised. A billion questions rang through my head but the most prominent ones of all continuously pounded against my skull: What in the holy hell do I do from here? And how do I stop what comes next?
[Note: This is half a self-insert and half not really. This character is different from me but does have a few traits from me as well. Like cursing, I curse a lot, but there are some traits here and there I don't really have.]
I thought having to move house was stressful. Now I'm Cozy Glow and I'd glady take the stress of moving over this!
The last few weeks have not been easy.
I'd finally been able to move out of the home I've been living in in the area i've been living in for pretty much my whole life.
The move, setting things up and adapting to my new home's differences and the new location had not been easy.
Still, I'd gladly take that stress over what I'm stuck with now. One moment I'm walking through the city to head back to the house and the next I'm Cozy Glow, hovering between a buffed up Tirek and mutated Chrysalis and it looks like the Rainboom Laser of Death is headed our way.
Oh, and, before we switched places, Cozy somehow became and Alicorn.
What the fuck is going on?!
Was inspired to write this after reading My Life As A Psychopathic Nine Year Old Filly and thought I'd give it a shot, as writing a character stuck as Cozy Glow and dealing with the aftermath of all her shit, especially the finale, would be funny

Wow. Honestly was not expecting that. Thank you, everyone. I will try to do my best to make this story worth that praise.
Tirek and Cozy Glow have a lot of time to kill together, in fact, it seems like they might have roughly an eternity's worth. It’s a lot of time to have some philosophical questions. It’s going to get weird. Cozy Glow is going to make it get weird.
Tirek and Cozy Glow have a lot of time to kill together, in fact, it seems like they might have roughly an eternity's worth. It’s a lot of time to have some philosophical questions. It’s lots of time to visit the moral quandaries around sex and age of consent. It’s going to get weird. Cozy Glow is going to make it get weird.
Inspired by the Villains VA Panel at Everfree Northwest and dedicated to Sunni Westbrook and Mark Acheson. Thanks for burning some choice images onto the brains of speaking room full of con-goers and forcing the people with kids present to field some mad uncomfortable questions in the future
Thanks to them and Steel Resolve and TheGreatEater for their edits and suggestions. And finally thanks to the wonderful artist Soulcentinel for their very fitting art.
Warning: No one involved in this is quite sure what the hell Cozy Glow is and she probably doesn’t know either, but that sure is one young-looking pony. Other tags include lackadaisical rape discussion and dubious consent.
