How would "Reformed" Villains go out?

Most MLP villains have either been reformed or payed their price in some way. But let's say the reformed villains stayed bad. How would they have atoned, been punished, disappeared, died, etc?

I suppose turning to stone would be a form of restraining them. Hmmm... I would also say perhaps it would be tailored to their weaknesses. So, essentially, a form of restraint tailored to their weakness. Yeah c:

I believe that the karma they put out and the complexity of there personal experience will decide what they get in return if they continued being "evil".

I feel like their immoral actions are consequences of them not facing strong pain and my theory goes as followed.

Discords action is chaos, his self awareness is that he is expressing himself yet no one is liking him, his inner feeling is of Insecurity.

Trixies action is boasting, her self awareness is of her jealousy of twilight, her inner feeling is of Inferiority.

Starlights action is Control, her self awareness is of her strong loneliness, her inner feeling is of Helplessness.

I actually feel that the worst punishment for them would be is if they had succeeded. Discord would create a paradise of his own chaotic nature, but would never truely feel accepted or understood for his identity, being evil is where he thought he could be accepted because no one could understand his Chaos as being a potentially positive quality.

Starlight would be insulated in a prison of her own dominion & safety, but stuck with a painful void of loneliness in her heart that she couldn't never fill. Without feeling genuine friendship, she would have to keep expanding her control to fill that space until there was nothing left to make her feel secure in equestria anymore, and by then she would have fully destroyed the thing that she wanted all of her life and the thing that would have saved her, friendship.

Trixie having to keep up a facade that would make her feel perpetually inferior, never being of true greatness and subconsciously understanding that. Painfully aware of that. Not understanding that she needs to fail to start the process of being herself, which already has the natural potential for greatness.

But hey! "That's just a theory, a game theory!" Lol. So yeah, I feel that the behaviour of the bad deed would lead to there own demise.

There's always the "Blaze in Glory" option  Protect Equestria from evil forces and fail in the process whenever the Power Rangers in Space can't do the job

Starlight glimmer would be the last season the mlp would've seen. And mlp would be one of the rarest kids show where the villain won.
