Mlp Cozy Glow - Blog Posts

Cozy Glow as a character frustrates me. Moreover, how we never even sniffed in the direction of a redemption arc for her. (Outside of the shared one with Tirek and Chrysalis in S9 that lasted a whole entire 3 minutes). We never get to see her backstory, learn about her family, and we don’t see any motivation for her actions other than simply wanting more power. We see some other villains who do the same throughout the series, but as far as we aware, cozy glow is just a little girl. Literally just a filly. And she never gets a redemption, or help, or learns a valuable lesson.

She is a kid that hates for the sake of hating until eventually she is turned to stone. I can see from one perspective that this was intentional: having a character that is just bad to be bad can be a refreshing break in the well-built stereotype throughout this show that everyone and anyone can be redeemed. But also. She’s a kid. I don’t like it. I would even argue that that throwing a 10 year old into a horrible, vile, dungeon meant for the most vile criminals and beasts, and then turning her to stone, is inherently immoral. But that’s just me.

I’ve read around about theories that Cozy Glow isn’t actually a filly, and is instead some bigger more-ancient evil being trapped in a filly’s body, or just looking like one. When we first met her character, this is also what I thought. All things considered, she totally could be! In which case, I would probably like the way her story ended a lot more. But in canon, we don’t really get anything that hints this is true. She is a cunning and manipulative foal, and her cutie mark is a chess piece. It tracks. She is kind of just evil because she wants to be, and this little kid gets sent to a horrible prison, and then turned to stone

First time trying to draw Cozy Glow!

Hey, before I go back to like, working on like 100 other stuff, I just wanted to say I saw your Mlp CMC Amphibia AU, and I think that’s like, GENIUS.

I kinda got a little obsessed and used https://15.ai/ for the CMC voices to make this-

Sorry that I didn’t draw anything, I wanted to, but, I dunno….

Since I couldn’t find a lot on your AU, I just sorta winged it-

Soooo…..while making this, I kinda like, just thought abt AB waking up in an area with dragons, hence Spike being name-bombed in there.

And Scootaloo waking up in an area of Sea Ponies (somehow) (or maybe Griffins)

And Sweetie Belle with Hippogriffs.

And I wanted to make Sombra Andrias, and, I couldn’t find his voice, so I just used Cozy Glow instead, cause, why not-

Anyways, this is a lot longer than I wanted it to be, sorry!

I hope you like it!
