brilliant analysis! i’m taking notes for when i get to them in my rewrite because i really wanna do all of w.i.t.c.h. justice

Orube and Cedric is the "i can fix him" trope done right, and that's why this is one of the best romances I've ever seen in media.

The point is, that actually, Orube never intended to fix Cedric. She did it by knowing her truth and living it, even if that meant going against the one she fell in love with.

Orube showed a great trust and intuition when she turned to a person with a dark reputation loathed by her friends. That was quite a reckless thing, but intuitive things like that fit her somewhat feral nature. Throughout her character arc she had learnt how to be patient and resilient, had learnt the struggles of being a stranger in a foreign world and of staying true to herself no matter the circumstances. And the results of her growth have shown greatly in the Book arc.

But!!! As soon as Cedric showed the slightest suspicious signs, her mercy was over and she would never let her guard down after that. Orube wasn't trying to force anything towards Cedric, wasn't trying to be kinder and softer to him hoping to melt his rotten heart. As soon as he crossed a certain line, she knew she couldn't trust him anymore, although she had been ready to give him a chance. And this was a marvelous writing. After all, how often do we see a female character prioritizing her own values over a man? How often do we see a girl giving up on "fixing" someone who is clearly not ready for that yet?

And Cedric, as one of the main villains of the ceries, was also done justice here. He didn't have a face-heel turn and didn' really become 'good'. Yes, he couldn't think of hurting Orube and even aknowledged his feelings towards her, but this was a possessive and immature kind of feeling. All he wanted was just to have her by his side, without even taking her feelings and values into conscideration. His suggestion to join him in a fight against the Guardians was the PEAK of emotional blindness, and this basically sums up the nature of his feelings and his own character.

And the final change tbat Cedric has aknowledged at his deathbed didn't happen because of Orube's love and devotion to him. It was her resilience, honor and truthness that moved him. Unlike him, she knew exacly who she was and what she was fighting for, and she taught Cedric by example, not by becoming his allforgiving ally.

Conscidering all said above I don't know how to feel about fan versions about their romance rebound after Cedric miraculously survived. Is he really capable of getting over his power-seeking and villain-serving behavior? Would simple life on earth without superpowers and world-conquering ambitions satisfy him? And most importantly, would Orube, who knows her moral code and follows it religiously be able to forgive him? These are the questions left unanswered. And although I would love to believe in a happily ever after for these two, my outlook on their perspective as a healthy couple is not that positive.

Is this a healthy ship? Nope. Is it a good writing and character development? Absolutely! Is happy ending for these two even possible? This is a question I can't answer. It would be nice to see them as a power couple, but that would mean one of them completely abandon their old ways. Would any of them be able to do that? It's really hard for me to tell.

However, despite all above, these two have the sickest chemistry in the entire series without a single kiss. I've been obsessed with them for 10 years and can't get enough.

A date

A: It's simple! You need to take them out on a date.

B (confused): A date?

C (contemplating): A date...

D (eavesdropping): Who's going on a date?

E (genuinely clueless): What's a date? I think I've heard of them! Is it organic?

D: ... I seriously... I can't even right now.

i will live and die on the hill that is mattel switching up mariposa’s design and va for the mariposa and the fairy princess movie because if we had 2007 design and chiara zanni in that film, the gayness would have EXPONENTIALLY increased.

they already had a close call with diamond castle they were not about to risk it.

is there a platonic ship name for scara and nahida? i need a tag that’s solely nahida being the best mom scara ever freaking had that i can scroll through and heal

THIS!! As a George stan, I don’t really see her as LESBIANLESBIANLESBIAN! as people often hype her up to be?

Maybe I can’t say this as I’m unlabelled/uncertain/haven’t really bothered to explore it in me, but I don’t really see George in that light. It’s the same with Velma, too.

Maybe I just don’t like how LGBTQ+ is more determined by a certain look or aesthetic and anyone who fits into that look or aesthetic is automatically LGBTQ+ when that’s not how it works.

Don’t get me wrong, I can see the vision, but Lesbian!George isn’t something I headcanon. I can see her as Bi, but that’s about it.

Is it internalized h0m0ph0bia? I dunno, I don’t think so (i’m a theatre major i’m surrounded by gays and i adore them how could i be?), but that’s my two cents.

So is anyone willing to talk about the way that there are a lot of people in the Nancy Drew fandom who stereotype George Fayne when they call her a lesbian and are also occasionally weirdly sexist in the way that they do it?

Like the man times I've seen, "She's independent. I can't picture her with a man." So anyone who is attracted to men is dependent on men, is that what you wanna imply?

"She's not traditionally feminine." So you wanna imply that you have to be feminine in some way to be attracted to men?

or "It's just the vibe I get from her." The vibe from what? Her short hair? Her love of sports? Or the two reasons that I've mentioned above?

Before anyone says anything about "respecting headcanons," I'm not going to respect headcanons that are disrespectful in nature. Specifically, if the ones saying stuff like this aren't lesbians. You need to do some self-reflection on how you view people.

if i had a nickel for every time there was a CGI animated series for kids starring Bryce Papenbrook as a teenaged deuteragonist and main protagonist’s love interest and Keith Silverstein as the grown ass man of a main antagonist, I would have two nickels.

It’s not a lot, but boy it’s sus that it’s happened twice.

For never having held a gun before, we see time and time again how amazing of a shot Cress is throughout the series. It’s no wonder she stole the heart of the only American on the crew.

my favorite set of siblings bro

the moon queen & her getaway pilot

“the wizard of ninjago”

aka the wizard of oz with kai as the scarecrow, zane as the tin man, cole as the cowardly lion, and jay as dorothy send post.

when terry started cleaning up his girl in the lake, scrubbing her with the sponge, i was wondering if i had walked in on something i wasn’t supposed to see because WHY THE FUCK DID THAT LOOK SO INTIMATE

so much happened this season holy shit. like the way it feels like every episode had some sort of parallel with the alternating scenes. i’m in shock.

my 13th reason is yashiori island because tell me why the fuck i’m getting struck by lightning in the middle of a cutscene TWICE

HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT…

throuple.

i don’t know joe hardy too well (read: at all) but he seems like the kind of guy to listen to sad hot white girl music and be the girlfriend in any relationship.

which is more culturally significant the renaissance or youtube shows created by 12-17 year olds playing with children’s toys.

i’m gonna say it:

callum’s gonna be fully possessed or turned evil bc of aaravos and we just hang there as this is the book six cliffhanger and we pick up in book seven (hypothetically called dark) with rayllum separated and rayla and ez leading the charge to save callum while dealing with ✨trauma & shit✨

yw i ruined it now :)

silly concept where this one muggle-born kid whose last name — out of literal, pure coincidence — happens to be black (or any other of the noble house names bc god forbid people share the same last name and aren’t at all related). this is finds out they’re a wizard and goes to hogwarts and the whole wizard community is all like “omg a resurgence of the noble house of black!” and is absolutely freaking out over it meanwhile this kid is like “wtf is happening i just found this shit out two hours ago—”

…. i don’t think sarwat chadda understood the assignment…

to the six people in the spirit animals fandom, i need it to be known that tasha is literally the reilin child.

the way i had a whole fic quartet that was essentially a spirit animals rewrite but the four fallen were actually animals summoned from our world as it was suddenly ending and transported to erdas right in front of these kids out of the blue.

but here’s the kicker: the animals have no freaking clue they aren’t on earth anymore or that their homeworld was destroyed so they recruit these kids to help them find their way back home. the animals speak to their kids telepathically and it’s very hashtag found family with the core four and the four fallen it was so bonkers actually.

could you imagine how good spirit animals would be if it wasn't written as a children's series

w.i.t.c.h. as genshin impact

both have been on the brain recently and let's be so real: w.i.t.c.h. could fit in the realm of genshin i bet so thanks to picrew i made the w.i.t.c.h. girlies. i didn't do elyon or orube since i wasn't sure which of the visions would suit them best but if you have any recs lemme know :)

WILL VANDOM:

Electro, 5-star (all w.i.t.c.h. girlies are 5-star), Sword, Monstadt

IRMA LAIR:

Hydro, 5-star, Bow, Natlan

TARANEE COOK:

Pyro, 5-star, Catalyst, Sumeru

CORNELIA HALE:

Dendro (could also be Geo), 5-star, Claymore, Fontaine

HAY LIN:

Anemo, 5-star, Polearm, Liyue

Elyon (and Caleb) would DEFINITELY be Khaenri'ahn - long-lost kingdom in shambles, unknown whether it's still existing? Talk about Meridian-core lol. Orube would be Inazuman - she's kinda giving Kujou Sara vibes??

That's all i got tho have fun with that.

so yoimiya, gaming, and klee are extroverted pyro siblings — yoimiya is the older sib, gaming the middle child, and klee the baby with way too much energy. like yoimiya and klee will be running through the streets being pyromaniacs and gaming will just be chasing after them apologizing to all the innocent passersby for his siblings being gremlins. yoimiya tries not to take things too far, though, and will stop klee if things look to get destructive beyond repair.

also mihoyo can we confirm that amber and gaming are cousins bc it would so work for them. god i love this pyro fam so much.

hear me out: what if winx club got the high fantasy straight white female amazon/goodreads book author treatment? i’m talking sarah j maas acotar or rebecca yarros fourth wing treatment.

bloom’s the mary sue protagonist who’s from a long lost ancient lineage of dragon shifter fae and she has her totally unhealthy situationship with the blonde prince of eraklyon who reeks just of alpha male energy but oh no the bad dark wizard who’s standing in the way of her bringing back her long lost/destroyed homeworld of the dragon shifter fae is hot and centuries older than her? whatever is a girl to do!

and this is solely with this idea in my head for thirty seconds there is so much potential for this concept and it makes me giggle so so much.

me: oh, i'm fine!

my brain: claire has had at least AN awareness of morgana since "roaming fees may apply" when she turns around before entering trollmarket and looks around the canal and she's like "i thought i felt something" when she's asked if she's alright and then we pan to angor rot hiding on the bridge looking at them - keep in mind this is BEFORE team trollhunter knows of angor's existence - then when claire ends up getting the shadow staff from angor rot in the shadow realm it literally GLOWS IN HER HANDS AND YOINKS HER OUT OF THE SHADOW REALM LIKE IT BELONGED TO HER OR SOME SHIT????? AND THEN SHE MASTERS IT IN LIKE A WEEK??????? and let's not forget the infamous power portal she conjures in the season 2 finale bc i'm sorry but the power of friendship and sheer willpower alone could not have been what lets her survive that shit ton of magic. also: she's getting flashes of memories when morgana took over her to remove the protective sigils in early season 3??? when it's implied morgana has full control over her body when she's asleep???? and then girl full on expels the KEY TO CAMELOT'S DOWNFALL from her body in A SINGLE NIGHT (her friends bring her spirit back yes but still the power is hers) and reclaims the shadow staff with a GLYPH CIRCLE????? and in the final battle we get a solid ten seconds of claire and morgana ALONE in the SHADOW REALM and we have NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING DOWN IN THERE--

this is your friendly reminder that claire maria nuñez is canonically a theatre kid

I GOT MY BOY (but shit what does that say about me?)

Ninjago: Which Ninja are you?

Which one of the ninja resembles you the most? I decided to make my own version of this. I tried to be creative with the questions and close

this i need to keep in my back pocket for stormbreaker and serotonin

listen,,, if you leave six ninja on a flying boat for long enough they will come up with their own memes and inside jokes

“kai would hit on a sexy lamp”

one time lloyd dressed an actual lamp in a dress with a mini skirt and kai was so sleep deprived that he hit on it

when anyone does anything bad, they go sit in the corner of shame. theres a sign

saying lloyd is twelve no matter how old he gets

kai: sorry lloyd you cant come fight with us youre like twelve lloyd: im sixteen

jay: sorry lloyd you cant come clubbing with us you’re like twelve lloyd: ?? im twenty??

zane: i shouldnt use such big words, lloyd is only twelve lloyd: IM THIRTY THREE HOW LONG MUST I SUFFER

mix and matching parts of old uniforms and excusing it with “its called fashion”

making up parts that zane needs to keep up to date

nya: zane, is your thermalhydrothingabob functioning smoothly?

cole: zane’s been pretty slow lately, maybe his popcornjpgwhatsit is broken

lloyd: zane! better make sure your chickentron is updated!

stacking things on wu’s hat while he’s asleep. cole and nya are tied at 8

“morro made me do it”

this one is lloyd only and its definitely a coping mechanism so leave him be

lloyd: *breaks something* morro made me do it

kai: who ate the last cookie? lloyd: morro made me do it

jay: you look like you havent slept?? lloyd: morro made me do it

pls go get therapy lloyd

green ninja competitions similar to the ones in season 1 where they decide who gets to be the green ninja. lloyd is the judge

if someone (usually jay or lloyd) starts a disney or dreamworks song, everyone has to join in

wu once walked in on lloyd and kai singing “the plagues” from prince of egypt with absolutely no context, and walked right back out

exaggerated non swearing around lloyd

*someone finds out a new piece of information” wonder what else sensei hasnt told us

their pizza order changes every night and its always terrible

“yo can i get a hawaiian pizza with pineapple and sardines, deliver to the destinys bounty”

“yah id like a none pizza with left beef deliver to the destinys bounty”

“can i have one slice of pizza, but, like, with every topping you have on it. deliver to the destinys bounty”

“alright im gonna go to the store” “only bad things happen when we split up”

“whats the weirdest place you can find lloyd asleep” competitions. dareth is the judge. its been weeks and lloyd has no idea

they copy old memes too

kai: im going to taco bell you want anything lloyd: i want my dad back kai: yah i got like 12 dollars

nya: jay was found dead in miami cole: is he okay nya: he’s alright but he’s dead

jay: remember to drink your respect women juice guys!

“the singles club” thats permanently occupied by lloyd and cole, and the others have all been part of it at some point. they have meetings.

“how dare you break color coordination” when anyone wears anything other than their usual color

“well, we kept kai”

variants include “well, we kept lloyd” and “well i kept all of you” (said by wu, once, and the others were in shock for ten minutes and then laughed for five minutes straight)

regarding nya as the best thing since sliced bread
