Description
Evil To the Core.
(alt:Bad to the bone.)
Everyone knows Evil looks way better in spikes.
Previously
Cosmos rewriting of her genes continued - her evil seeping back in time, to the striped menace of the inferior Zebra.
“As Zecora. I was ostrazised from my tribe for embracing the dark art of cosmos. I resurrected the most evil Zebra shamans of all time, and took their dark knolege for my own. I fused their bones to mine. Redjecting my mortal shell,and became the worlds first and only Demi Lich. I spread death wherever i traveled, binding souls into bones and fusing them into my growing skeletal frame. increasing my power with every bone, until I had harvested every last one of my people.
(and thats why there are no more Zebras in the world)
And when there were no more Zebras in the world, i ventured outward, laying waste to all who came in my path. harvesting the powers of every species, Untill their skeletal remains formed like a mountain of bones upon became my new form. All their souls joining me in a conglomeration of screams. An eternal hunger that could never be satisfied, As a river of blood ran forth with genocidal intentions we cried out towards the heavens if we had become a Core worthy of Cosmos. knowing that we never would be enough. For the work of true evil is never done.
All this power, all this sacrifice just so that we might become an ounce of the core that would form the backbone of Cosmos.”
The evil tingled down Sosmos Spine.
”And the most radical evil thing of all? All this sacrifice was completely pointless, for all it did was to give me a choice of cosmetics.”
That’s what she wanted to say. But it wasn’t quite true. For as the Zecora of the past grew even more powerful. So did the Cosmos of the present. The spines and bonespires jutting out of her, a testament to the Zebra genocide. And she was growing ever more powerfull from all of the people and creatures she was retroactively absorbing.
Authors note: It was fun drawing evil Zecora.
She got so ridiculously powerful as a lich.

IN CORRUPT PAST, YAK NOT PERFECT. YAK NOT SMASH.
yak regret everything
So are we going to see a corrupted past history of Prince Rutherford the ruler of the Yaks?
Probably cause he’s too busy giving his mary sue a metaphorical bj while scripting more preachy chalked up filler pieces to put in place for any form of an objective story moving forward. Chaos rule breaking goddess or not, there are things that can be addressed even if you play the “it is all subjective” card.
Don’t think we should expect any constructive answers anytime soon. So far all I have seen is him deflecting every point we make, and pulling straws from our posts, without actually addressing anything in a solid manner
Explain. I was under the impression he was banished from his clan after being relentlessly beat and bullied for no accepting his place and for being a cripple
Edited
Even tho he wasn’t ostracized by tribe but ok lol
Charming, now if only you could make your answer into part of the comic it might just improve it a bit.
Besides if she were to actually do that to me, I’d gladly point your way and say to her “I don’t know…I mean your fanboy over here has you either being everything in existence or nothing at all, so what’s there to miss..oh right, everything else”
@Vee Stripe
Ha ha. I feel like the answer to both of your comment is just: Cosmos tearing down the fourth wall and going “Hello, Cosmos here, nice to meet you.” in a very ´do you really not know who I am?´ kind o way.
That said. If you’ve come for plot (of the non explicit kind), you best look elsewhere. If you come to see some weird shit from a deluded mind who had a fix idear and decided to run with it, I hope you stay.
Nothing wrong at all with the production value mate. It already is there, I just say again the plot points I called out reall y do need fixing and tweaking along with something else in akin to the “Cosmos Cosmetic Circlejerk” that you keep going with this comic.
Bring back Discord into this a bit so that I don’t completely forget about him. Make Fluttershy more of the down to earth mare that she is normally instead of this unemotional dumb dunce of a discount draconequus.
And finally, try to keep the plot more invigorating by giving us something more than “13 reasons to hate history rewriting explanatory pieces for marysue.exe”
Perhaps there are still ponies alive out there surviving beyond this apacalypse. What could they be up to?

Whenever you want, you don’t need an excuse to draw weird shit. It’s not like you gotta come here, lift your hand and go “excuse me, may I draw some weird stuff? Pls?” - you get to draw what you feel you want to draw.
Just saying, that IMO, by now the plot is SO diluted and so… irrelevant by now, that - as I said before - it looks like Cosmos is flexing to herself in the mirror. Honestly, when I look at it now, it almost gives me an impression she’s insecure about herself - Discord stopped to matter a few pages back, and now she’s trying to reassure HERSELF, about how awesome and strong she is. Kinda like an insecure kid that was repressed for a bit too long.
But once again… I’m bitching only about the plot, your pencils are good.
@BigOnionbean
Patience my friend - Maybe this “plot” it moving at a snail’s pace. Bu Cosmos is gonna keep enjoying this while she can.
Besides - when else do you get the chance to draw some absolutely corrupted stuff witout ith coming out of nowhere?
I understand, or at least I am trying to.
The main thing is, that now it just looks like it turned to some weird cosmic flexing contest with just one participant, plus it just feels like the plot just… disappeared. There was some of it earlier, and now it just vanished into… this. The art is still good, don’t get me wrong, I like your style. But the overall plot just disappeared IMO, like… 4-5 pages ago.
Well while it indeed took ya long enough to come up with that kind of explanation (which I’m kinda grateful for) I am still a little worn by all the “trophy”/peacock/show off scenes we are having here on some of these recent pages.
Do you really intend on dragging this out piece by piece for every notable creature she has absorbed giving a lengthy explanation as to summarizing up to “this insert name did this and this but now is rewritten for their only life purpose being Cosmos and nothing else”. Cause honestly, I don’t think it’s really that shocking now since after the third or fourth time we have seen this type of explanatory piece in your comic.
You see from the audiences perspective we haven’t seen Discord doing such avoiding as you describe. Rather we see him observing Cosmos and thus contrary to what you say giving Cosmos that attention even if it is non verbal.
That and though Fluttershy is indeed close to Discord as his lover, I wouldn’t go and assume she knows hows chaos works. Such is the point of it being chaos in the first place. I would rather have designated her in a position similar to what the audience is thinking, questioning discord on all the horror she is witnessing, in a dramatic but unnoticeable manner in which not to draw attention for Cosmos to see. Such a thing makes her more relatable of a character and less of this dry “too stupid to realize” trope of a character you play her out to be. Even with her “experience”, you would think that she would still express horror, disgust and all the other kind of emotions cause unlike Discord she has family, friends, and other types of things that she is losing or has lost to Cosmos. She’s not a god like Discord, so nor can she act like him just cause she is a discount draconequus atm or in a relationship with him.
Why would Cosmos even waste her time trying to conpare herself too anyways. Those with real spite, malice, and uncaring/unhealthy devotion to something don’t play by such rules as a game of comparrison. If she wanted, why doesn’t she absorb Fluttershy or use the worthless weed as leverage to get Discord’s attention and favor. If she is so chaotic then why abide by such rules of comparrison.

Didn’t know if i wanted, but I guess this is as good good a place as any to explain this:
Its like foreplay. You can’t just do all the chaos all at once, or there will be nothing to lock forward to.
Cosmos is emphasizing and overdramatizing everything she does because she thinks that for every reality ripping transformation, shes earning a little more of Discords affection. (Plus she is really into the whole thing herself and might have let it go to her head.)
To her this whole Cosmageddon is lite a stripper tease. Shes is showing off just what shes got (and how much of it shes got.) Alternatively like how a peacock would try to show of its might and beauy to attrack a partner.
Discord meanwhile, is trying his hardest to ignore everything, as he does not want to give his Ex any of the attention he knows she craves. and any attempts at intervention would only invigorate Cosmos’s efforts.
Fluttershy is trying to mediate the situation. (and we are seeing the result of how that turned out) She is not too bothered by whats going on as her experiences with Discord has taught her that all Chaos must, by its very nature, come to an end (everything cant be chaos all the time because then chaos becomes normal.) And she is really just waiting to see an end to this little triangle drama.
(The destruction of reality does not matter so much when you are beyond reality.)
The reason Cosmos does not touch Fluttershy is because She wants to be compared to her. (more specifically she is waiting for discord to realise how much bigger and better she is then that little play-pretend-draconequus)
I was just drawing a comparison to the being ostracized by tribe and then murdering them aspect of it.
Nobody likes the joke police
All the while Fluttershy and Discord CONTINUE TO DO ABSOLUTELY FREAKING NOTHING!!

Gul’dan was a warlock not a lich tho.
Also he didn’t collect any bones. He did seek the power of demons.
