Mother Said

Tirek watched them disappear then turned to Grogar. “What does this Rogers Sweater do?”
“Brings beautiful weather to the neighborhood of anyone wearing it.”

*Mr. Roger’s neighborhood intensifies*

Tirek was her idea of a surrogate father, and now she was taking the place of substitute mother. It gave a whole new meaning to the term ‘broken family’.

What's that make Grogar? The grandfather?

Cantankerous grandpa sounds about right. I mean Tirek's really, really old and Grogar's older than he is. It's that or wacky uncle, and Grogar doesn't really strike me as wacky uncle material.

<LoL!> Now this was a lot of fun to read! The Care Bears and Mr. Rogers references were awesome. The one filly Chrysalis disguised as was also a nice call to Cheer Bear, or perhaps rainbow Bright?
I think you did a great job of showing how Chrysalis could benefit from the limitless love a child provides their parent. Maybe this could result in a sort of 'bond' between the two? With enough power, Chrysalis has beaten Celestia along with Twilight and her pals. Her loss to Starlight only was a result of Thorax giving her a far too intense burst of love at once. This was also what allowed her defeat by Cadence and Shining Armor.

Could Chrysalis' true victory be just taking in all the love Cozy has to offer to first rid herself of Tirek and then Grogar? She could then take the bell to augment her power and truly thrash Starlight and pals.

Then we'd have a neat moment where Chrysalis would need to decide whether-or-not to do away with Cozy, or learn she needs her as much as Cozy needs a mother figure?

Great job!

Thank you! Just about everyone caught the Mr. Rogers reference (it was blatantly obvious ), but you're the first to point out the Care Bear reference.

Bifröst is actually the fandom (pending an official name) name for this pony:

She's adorable! Since she hasn't talked in canon yet (to my knowledge), the northern Equestrian accent is because she's named after the rainbow bridge from Norse mythology.

It would be nice to see Chrysalis and Cozy Glow forge some sort of bond. It's been hinted by show staff that Cozy doesn't necessarily have parents. Right now, I see feeding off of Cozy Glow as the most plausible scenario to snap Chrysalis out of the craziness she's shown in her last few appearances. I guess we'll find out what happens in about 20 more episodes!

This is a really interesting story, I could see Tirek as the father, Chrysalis as the mother, Grogar as the grandfather and Cozy Glow is the daughter, also I could see Sombra as the uncle so yea, I hope to see more stories kinda like this
