Fall Pony!🍁

🍂 Happy 1st Day of Fall from Autumn Skye 🍁

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

That single episode doesn't define Chrysalis as a character, though. If you don't like her then you don't have to like her 🤷

I enjoy her as a character and moreover as a villain because out of all the villains we know of, she was the most justified. She is a creature who feeds on love. For as long as she has known, her and her give survived solely on feeding off of other creatures love. When she was pretending to be Princess Cadence at her wedding, during "This Day Aria", she said "no I do not love the groom, in my heart there is no room". In my eyes, it seems like she's a queen who was doing her best to provide for an entire colony in the only way she has ever known. As her character progresses through the series, we see her succumb to the loneliness of losing her hive. This leads her to "talk to logs alone in the woods". But she doesn't stay like that. When we see her with Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow, she is a complex character with more personality. Battling between her inherent hatred for friendship and the uneasy yet steadily growing relationship she has with Tirek and Cozy Glow. We see her do silly dances, be sarcastic, be afraid and angry, be vulnerable and so much more. We see her exude mass amounts of confidence while still being put in place by Grogar, where she cowers at his feet. Her "going insane" in that episode did not define her character. So yes, I think she's a pretty epic villain.

Chrysalis I love U (the way she’s written is so fun. A pretty epic villain tbh)

Evil doesn't die It reinvents itself

G2!!! What a cutie

The sun’s out! Morning Glory goes exploring ❤️

YES I AGREE!!!

Honestly, I don’t understand the design choice at all. I mean, other toys being released from this time looked so cool! More fluid with a modern feel. These toys feel like they wanted to capture earlier MLP gens retro feel on something that was very much not. Don’t even get me started on the gen 5 toys.

My dream gen4 my little pony toy

The discourse has long since passed on this since MLP Gen 4 has been out for years, and now they have the g5 toys which are even worse, but anyways.

I think its a real shame they didn't make the g4 pony toys have like... any poses.

Lauren Faust has such a dynamic artstyle and I understand how it was hard to make into 3D but I refuse to believe this was the best they could do:

When theyre posed they have ugly little tube legs and no elbow. I think lauren fausts artstyle works with horses because she actually tool the time to look at horse anatomy and make it unique and stylized but these look so bad and not even very dynamic when they do do the poses but usually they dont do any poses at all.

I just finished season 8 of FiM.

Chancellor Neigh Say shouldn't have been redeemed.
