I love the idea Cozy Glow is really Discord. And the reference to Harry Potter with Tom Riddle. (I am Lord Voldemort) But I’m calling it now, Cozy Glow is not any of our known villians in deguise. But is a new villain who is using very strategic planning as her cutie mark, a chess pawn, suggest. Though I have no idea what her plans are...
No villain; not Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrystalis, Sombra, Tirek, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, the Sirens, the Pony of Shadows, Tempest Shadow, the Storm King, or anyone else will ever compare to the greatest menace of all, Cozy Glow.
Seriously, that filly is evil.
Actually now that I think about it...do you know who she looks a lot like? Age Flurry Heart up a few years and take away her horn. Could you hide a horn in all those curls? I knew that was a demon baby.
Oh, so she does really give a suspicious vibe.
There goes my "Chrysalis pretending to be her in the finale" theory.
8963275
Actually, it's a rook I think, not a chess pawn...
8963298
Well even Maggie Simpson's has a rival in the baby with one eyebrow, so who knows.
8963316
Not according to future episodes, where I think we see her not as a filly
Tch. I'm going to believe Cozy Glow is Queen Chrysalis >:/
8963329
I don't actually believe she's anypony we know in disguise, especially judging by some plot descriptions I have seen for future episodes. This fic is just a harmless piece of speculation, that's all.
8963334
Fine...
That was pretty good! I saw a lot of 'Cozy is actually Chrysalis' posts in the episode discussion, but I watched a leak of next week's episode, and she's not in it. After that is a mid-season hiatus, so I dunno what's coming in the later half.
8963359
Thanks! It's fun to speculate anyway, whatever happens next.
Right speculation, wrong villain. And I think it's very much a current villain.
8963387
Hope you get to watch it soon. Twas a good one...
8963391
I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. In the meantime, nothing to stop our minds going into overdrive as to their identity.
Here's my joke speculation:
She's the daughter of Tirek and Chrysalis
8963410
Hmm. I'm not sure whether to be jealous of all the quality episodes you have to look forward to, or glad I haven't got such a huge backlog of shows to watch.
In any case, hope you enjoy what's to come...
8963413
Sounds like a future fan fiction in the making, that. Wait long enough, and someone will probably write it. That's if, they haven't done so already...
Probably what amuses me the most about this is how long the site without adding any tags, and here, less than 12 hours later, the new character already has one.
8963429
Yep. We might not have the character pictures any longer, but it sure makes it convenient when you want to add a character from a recently aired episode..
8963431
All I can say is 'best of luck to you' then. Although the show is good, education clearly should be your first priority. As for family, I think mine would be slightly more open-minded. Not taking any chances though... 
Oh.
This was fun. (And a bit creepy with the hypnosis, but hey - Discord! XD)
Also, I loved the Harry Potter joke in this story.
8963475
Thank you for reading, and I'm glad it gave you a chuckle.
That's a question MLP will want to answer: Who is Cozy Glow?
8963488
I think it's a question the rest of us want answering, too.
8963489
Here's another theory: Is she Spike's stalker?
8963323
I meant, I thought Cozy Glow in the finale was Chrysalis pretending to be her, but it sounds like it'll actually be Cozy Glow.
YOUR MOM!
8963522
Oh, well now that's starting to make sense...
8963541
My theory Discord and Fluttershy's time traveling daughter.
Well if peeple read the descriptions for the rest of the season, this little bitch isn't done yet. And of course she's evil. Why?
Because Hasbro common sense says so.
8963611
As good as any I've heard so far...
8963615
Who knows? Well the writers for one, but I don't think they'll talk...
8963275
Her mark is a Rook, not a pawn. Rooks are many times a piece ignored by the opponent at their own peril.
I think Cozy has a talent similar to Diamond Tiara, as they both can get others to do what they want, but with a different spin in how they go about it.
Also, Cozy has Diamond's coat color. We see THAT shade of pink on a pony, we know something is up.
8963413
Okay, first: WHAT?
Second: EEWWWW!
8963777
1. I made that using the plot synopsis for two upcoming episodes.
2. I did say it was a joke.
Fun story, but in all seriousness, I believe that Cozy Glow is actually... Cozy Glow.
I'll point out a subtle detail that I missed the first time I watched the scene with Starlight and Cozy: Throughout the conversation with Starlight, Cozy never took a sip from the "Empathy cocoa."
Why is Cozy Glow?
To answer the question the summary asks?
No, you are not the only one.
(Spoilering for the sake of curtusy)
In fact, I spent up right until explictly proved otherwise under the assumption that Cosy Glow was Twilight in disguise and that she'd set-up all the freinships stuff for them to do with everyone in advance.
(I mean, organising sprinkles by colour? Isn't that - and her reaction to Mrs Cake making rainbow again - exactly Twilight?) And literally up until her, they show has basically shown everyone at the school to be more like university or college student-age (and itmakes more sense for Twilight's schol to be a techical college or university, really) so I'd been wondering why Twilight hadn't just said "you're not old enough, but once you've graduated girls..," from the get go.
Discord makes sort of sense though.
Possible spoiler for future episodes, so consider this a double-spoiler, though it is largely based on my own speculation from half-read results in a google search:
In fact, in google Cosy Glow to find her voice actor WASN'T Tara (because she sounded and acted just like Twilight laying it on a bit thick, I would have sworn blind she was), there MAY be something more to it, since she may have something to do with the finale. So she might, in fact, be Chrysalis in disguise or something.
(And no, I don't want any coroboration on that, if such exists, I'll get to it when it does.)
But if so, then this episode was actually probably being as clever as I THOUGHT it was up until the last few minutes.
This is horrible. I am trapped in a state where I have a theory, and I can corroborate the theory like, right now, but that would mean to spoil myself.
Cozy Glow is going to be such a Villain Sue that Starlight (Starlight after her initial episode, which was quite good) will appear the most subtly nuanced character in television history by comparison.
Oh boy...it's Discord isn't it
?
Oh really
?
Um, if Cozy Glow is really Discord, then it wouldn't be for anything evil. Discord would just do that to have some mischievous fun and get into the school.
Besides, based on a future episode summary, Discord will actually feud with Starlight over being the temporary principal of the school, so it sounds like he does like it.
Why does Nellie Oleson spring to mind when I look at Cozy Glow?
9083478
Didn't she turn out nice in the end? I fear the reverse effect for Cozy Glow, however...
Some people seem to believe queen Crystalis is Cozy Glow but that headcanon makes no sense it doesn't even seem possible.
9138944
She is NOT Chrysalis.
Hilarious in hindsight now that we know for certain she's evil as shit.
I'm under the belief that Spoiled Rich was Cozy Glow's mother, and that she raised her to be as she was shown in the show.
Not sure if cannon is better that this story...
9083764 Spoiler, she's an evil little brat
Nice story! It was well-written, especially on the discord bits. I wonder if anyone has written a story on if Cozy Glow was Queen Chrysalis...hmmmmm?
Interesting headcannon. Too bad the finale spoiled that
Cozy Glow is the worst thing possible: a one-dimensional child supervillain trope with 4 legs.
Watch in horror as her hastily contrived backstory (assuming she gets one) is even worse and more irrational than Starlight Glimmer and Tempest's!
I'm going to guess her parents were meanies to her and didn't let her have all the dessert she wanted, so she decided to try to talk to Satan and take over the world.
But really, she was so obviously 'the Big Bad' from the moment she showed up and was suddenly important to the narrative when she'd NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE (that's a huge clue in most crappy writing).. it was so agonizing that they didn't just get it over with earlier and show her scheming from Day 1, then spend some time on the 'WHY?' and 'HOW?' of it all. Seriously, did these people even take Creative Writing 101?
