Honestly, I Am Trying Not To Think About It Because I Don't Want To Get My Hopes Up Before Seeing It.

Honestly, I am trying not to think about it because I don't want to get my hopes up before seeing it.

But I would like, as you say, for them to keep the lessons already learned from Sofia. I really find this concept of Sofia "relearning" how to adapt to this school interesting.

Because while it's true that we've already seen a similar theme in the series, it's also true that new things can still be explored. Change is something natural, and no one stays the same permanently.

I would like to see Sofia adjust to this school, and especially, if they want to maintain the Protectors' storyline, to see her struggle with coordinating her time and activities.

Also I would like Sofia's "learning about friendship" to be through new challenges, like deciding who to spend her time with (something similar to Minimus and Sky but better, with his new friends from that school and his old friends from Royal prep) or things like that.

However, I also see another option where Sofia doesn't directly learn the lessons through her own problems, but by helping others.

For example, like that episode where she helps Hildegard understand Clio. Imagine Sofia has a problem, and by helping other people, she finds a solution to her own issue, How, going back to the example, maybe helping another person she realizes that she unintentionally did the same thing with someone else and wasn't being very understanding with a friend or something like that.

Although I understand this show is for the new generation, so I won't worry too much about what happens. But I do hope they keep in mind the surprising number of young adult-adult fans the show has.

I admit I would like to see some long-form stories in the background throughout the likely self-contained episodes the series will have. Something like the Cedric wanting to take the throne plot, which was a secondary story throughout the series, so to speak.

Also, I have to admit that I would love if this school and series were a bit like a mini Howards where Sofia faces magical things with her friends, because, that's another point. I would like Sofia to learn to work with her friends as a team by having magical adventures. Learning to delegate tasks, to trust others more, let her friends help her and not just her help them, etc.

So, part of the premise of Sofia the First: Royal Magic will be her "discovering that she is the most magical princess in the EverRealm" while at this royal school for magic.

Rather than so much than magical ability, however, I think that even more means that her own special kind of magic comes from what a kind, brave, loyal person she is (like how she learned in the first series that's what being a princess was truly all about).

My only concern about that is that they risk repeating themselves. Now that she's learned what being royal is all about, she has to learn what being magical is all about, and "learning how to master her magical abilities" is what Craig Gerber also said is part of the premise. But it could definitely be a fresh spin for the next 'book' in her 'story' if they do it just right.

But the thing is, Craig also said Sofia will be "learning new skills and encountering stories that teach her about teamwork and friendship and leadership.” And... she already learned all that throughout the original show; heck, by the end of the series, she became the Protector of the EverRealm. I know they're trying to reach and teach a new generation of young kids, but I just really hope they can do so while still applying what Sofia already learned during the original show instead of totally resetting her character. That would seem to be a very tricky balance... even tho Sofia is still human, and there are always more things to learn about herself (life is one great continuous learning journey with new challenges)!

And something else I feel would be too redundant is if she is terrified of fitting in at Charmswell (her new school) with her new classmates, scared she doesn't have what it takes to be a magical princess, blah blah.

What are your thoughts?

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts

Oh, I'm blushing, thank you so much.

I found this one too! Something quick from a while ago

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it.

Regarding the last part, yes, Cedric is seeing-remembering himself, as if it were some kind of hallucination (maybe using a different color would have been helpful, I’ll keep that in mind).

So yes, technically it’s as if he’s trying to forgive himself.

Hi! This is a mini-comic inspired by @shychick-52 's idea (here) about Cedric being in charge for a day. However, your humble servant tweaked it a bit because I enjoy angst and like to think that Cedric has triggers related to the Day of the Sorcerers.

Enjoy!

Someone hug that poor man!

I apologize publicly for how Cedric is drawn on the first page and in some panels, lol. This man is very difficult to draw from the front, and he and my style aren't particularly friends.

Oh! This reminded me that the other day I was talking to a friend who asked me where I write my fics, like whether I do it when I get home or at school.

And I told her it’s mostly when I’m on the bus/public transport because that time has to be used for something.

And she said: Have you ever thought that people might be reading what you’re writing? And honestly, no, I never thought about it. Because people do tend to glance at other people’s phones.

Well, I hope the people who read it enjoyed Greylock trying to win over Cedric, lol.

Cedlock fic I'm working on

(Again, this is another post where I show my obsession with this ship. If it's not of interest to you, keep sliding. Thank you very much!)

Well, I've been working on a little Cedlock fic where Greylock is a silly teenager trying to confess to Cedric. I didn’t want to share anything yet, but the truth is, I’m excited and need to say it.

I’m not even halfway through, but I hope that announcing it will force me to finish it, lol.

A small preview:

A cheerful silent melody danced through his mind, making his heart flutter at the thought of Cedric. Immersed in his writing, Greylock forgot he wasn’t alone.

“I like everything about you, your terrible humor, your passion for…” a voice recited behind him, reading what he was writing. It was Muldo, his roommate.

Greylock immediately jumped in surprise, flipping the parchment face down onto the table with a dramatic slam before placing his hand on top to prevent Muldo from reading any further. A deep blush spread from his face to his pointed ears.

Muldo laughed, smiling in amusement.

“I didn’t know you were in love, Greylock” he said. "Is it someone I know?”

Greylock hesitated to tell him.

“Come on, tell me who it is” he insisted. “I told you about Huan.”

“You told everyone about Huan” Greylock replied. The whole previous month, Muldo had bragged about his latest success in courting his crush. Greylock couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

His small distraction was enough for his friend to grab the letter. Muldo held it high and quickly read aloud the last part written by Greylock.

“The potions and the books that no one understands. Your curly hair and your long nose that I’ve teased so much…” Muldo squinted in confusion. “I thought Cordelia didn’t like potions” he murmured more to himself than to share the thought.

“It’s not Cordelia!” Greylock shouted, trying to reach the letter. Muldo was quite tall. Or maybe Greylock was just a bit short.

His friend continued, struggling to keep the letter above him. “Your dark hair streaked with that white that…”

Muldo’s eyes widened as he realized. Suddenly, he stopped stretching and slowly lowered the letter, handing it back to Greylock.

“Oh.”

Greylock took the parchment angrily and quickly rolled it up, looking at Muldo with a red face in awkward silence.

“So… Cedric.”

Greylock wasn’t going to be a coward this time and deny it.

“Yes.”

Muldo is a canon character! I don’t know if you remember him, as his existence is only based on a mention by Cordelia in "Too Cute to Spook." I like to think that Cordelia and Greylock are somewhat friends, so I figured Muldo would know Greylock too.

I’m having fun.
