These are so well designed, I can see them in the show!

I only accept potion cutiemark Apple bloom, canon is dead to me

my take on the CMC's cutiemarks! i tried to include the club emblem in each as I feel its pretty important - their talents are singing, scootering, & potion brewing! 🔔🍎💜

no one ever puts potion brewing as apple blooms talent :'3 she was so good at it like she actually mentions it so often? but the go-to is always just an apple lol i made the bottle an apple shape as i feel the apple family will ALWAYS be linked to each members talent in some way

not to get into my own pony genetics theory lol but i like to think that your cutiemark's appearance CAN be generational/genetic in some way. if enough ponies down ur line have an apple, u may get one that resembles it too! :3 if there is hardly any in common, u wont etc

I think they fucked up by getting Cozy and Neighsay the 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥.

I get what they were trying to do but the fact of the matter is that they screwed it up royally by putting the idea down and not doing anything to really build their characters up.

Picture it, Cozy is the pony supremacist and defensive around the other students, and then suddenly the school is in lockdown and weird magic is happening. She goes to investigate and sees Neighsay bragging to the student six and gets caught spying and flies away. He goes down to where he has Starlight captured and is going to use all the collected magic to permanently banish any non pony from equestria, to "keep us safe".

Cozy glow is scared and confused but makes her choice and goes and gets the Princesses, because no matter how scared she is she realises it's the right thing to do.

Episode ends with Neighsay swearing vengeance from his cell in Tartarus and willing to team up with Tirek and Chrysalis to "get rid of the non pony filth that have corrupted Equestria" and he's willing to work with non ponies with the plan to betray them both. And Cozy's parents tell her they're proud of her and she goes to hang out with her new creature friends because seriously, where the fuck are her parents??

Another thing I hated from those last two seasons were the villains, especially cozy glow

I really should stop talking about mlp. It's embarrassing 😅 I'm kind of embarrassed. I apologize to all my followers. But...

But again, 100% right.

Funny thing is, I can see a world where Chancellor Neighsay's character is written better. The problem with his character is that the terrible writers wrote him as the most stereotypical, strawman-y racist villain that I've ever seen in any piece of children's media, ever. 

If they wrote him more realistically, and actually gave the audience an explanation for why he feels that way about the other creatures...

For example, they could've showed that the reason he hated the other creatures is because of their past history with ponies:

The hippogriffs/seaponies refused to help when the Storm King attacked 

The Yaks were very picky when they came to visit for the first time

The dragons were usually very hostile towards ponies, to the point where ponies were afraid to approach them

The Changelings attacked Equestria twice

The griffins had a better relationship with ponies, but the majority of them were still very rude

Of course, the explanation for all of their behavior is the result of their environment, leadership, and upbringing. But it would still be an understandable reason.

And if they had him realistically realize the error of his ways, combined with writing him in a realistic way and giving an explanation for his mentality, then BOOM! Character fixed, problem solved :)

Now, as for Cozy Glow...

Idk what the writers were thinking when they came up with her character, but in terms of writing/character motivations she is 10,000 times worse than Neighsay. At least with him I understand what the writers were going for, and he can be more easily fixed.

But Cozy Glow…

She is a child. The same age as the CMC. Who is... inexplicable an evil sociopath who hates the other creatures, wants to get rid of magic, and... rule the world...

Absolutely no explanation given for how this child turned evil, racist, a sociopath, a master manipulator, and a megalomaniac. No backstory, no explanation. At all.

At least with Neighsay, you can logical see how he got there. But I have no idea what they were going for with Cozy Glow. 

The only thing I can figure out is this: Cozy Glow exists to prove one point that Neighsay made. He was afraid that the other creature students would use their friendship lessons and the school to secretly take over Equestria. He believed that they were sociopaths who were incapable of being changed, so instead of being improved by the school they would only learn how to better manipulate ponies. That's what sociopaths do in real life. 

But instead of it being the other creatures who did it, it was a pony. The point of Cozy Glow's character is to prove that ponies are capable of being the megalomaniac sociopaths that Neighsay thought the other creatures were. So in a way, I can see where the base concept for her character came from. 

The thing that makes it terrible is that there is absolutely no backstory or explanation given for why this child is evil, or how she got there. The writers just expected the audience to accept this incredibly bizarre, horribly written character. 

Lol, shrug

Grogar would've been a really cool villain, if he wasn't actually SPOILERS Discord in disguise the whole time.

The real Grogar does exist in their world. He could be dead, he could be alive. We don't know. But the writers lied to people, telling them that Grogar would be the final villain, hyping him up... only for it to be taken away with a terrible plot twist. That they (apparently) planned from the beginning:

But when Discord was impersonating Grogar, he was still a better villain than Cozy Glow and Neighsay. The plot twist was the real problem, not Grogar himself. 

I actually feel kinda bad for Grogar's character. They did him dirty. They did my sheep dirty :(

Anyway, my final thoughts on the season 8/9 villains:

Chancellor Neighsay: Terribly written, but can be easily fixed.

Cozy Glow: They were high on BATH SALTS or something and were watching Cats Don't Dance (or the episode of Batman the animated series with Babydoll) when they came up with her character, and didn't give a shit about anything else.

Grogar: I feel bad for my poor sheep :( You deserve better, you could've been great 🐏

Broken Vessel got tired of fighting my incompetent arse and just let me win, apparently

Seriously though, I got my face kicked in yesterday so I decided to do this fight tomorrow and I come back and somehow they're dead?????

This isn't one of those killed at the same time things, I didn't even get five seconds into phase two of that fight

They're just...dead.

Damn, was looking forward to beating that fight and having my emotions stomped on

Dad accidentally froze a wire jar ring in the fridge and spent half an hour salting it before giving up and asking to borrow my hair dryer

So, in addition to dad playing barber in the fridge

My hairdryer over heated and I had to spend a whole minute arguing with the full grown father adult to not leave it in the fridge to "cool down"
