Yes, I think so too. As @majoresca said, I think sorcerers in particular are more associated with royalty.
Sorcerers are a select group and a sign of power as part of royalty.
In the movie, we see Sofia excited to meet Cedric because he’s a sorcerer, something she doesn’t seem familiar with before her life in the palace. The townspeople also seem impressed (in part) by Cedric’s tricks in "King for a Day," which indicates that it’s not common to see sorcerers in town, at least in Enchancia.
Unlike witches, where people seem more familiar with them because (at least the bad ones) usually interact more with people, either with the intention of hex them or otherwise.
We see various magic users throughout the series, and I think each community has its own norms and social levels. I also suppose it depends a lot on the kingdom.
For example, in Tangu, we see the genies. Another type of magic user that seems to have a whole set of hierarchies within Tangu’s society. I won’t lie, I haven’t watched the little genie episodes more than once, but from what I remember, it seemed like they even had certain rules to follow as genies.
In the case of sorcerers, I don’t think we’ve seen sorcerers who do not serve directly or indirectly to royalty. Because yes, I think teaching or working at Hexley Hall is somehow associated with royalty due to the geographical position of the institution: The Tri-Kingdom Area. (I can explain this if you want to know why I say this.)
Which, in some way, I feel indicates that most of the sorcerer community has been formed and positioned around noble circles. Perhaps that’s why they are not as frowned upon as witches.
Except for some evil wizard like Morgana, for example.
Going back to the point... Although I don’t doubt that there are sorcerers from less prominent families, I think most of the sorcerer community lives/works exclusively with royalty. And I also feel that they are somehow a matter of status.
We know other kingdoms with royal sorcerers: Rudistan and Wei-Ling, but that doesn’t mean that all kingdoms have a royal sorcerer.
As I understand it, since Wei-Ling is also part of the Tri-Kingdom Area, it somehow seems to be a a world power in the world of STF, as Enchancia surely is. Or at least, that’s what I like to believe.
Wei-Ling and Enchancia, being so prominent, have a tradition of royal sorcerers because, in the end, if sorcerers are not common among the population, they are a display of power.
Perhaps that’s why Rudistan and Magnus’s government, which seeks to emulate grandeur and power, also have and show off their sorcerer to everyone.
Let’s look at the case of Zumaria, for example. They (correct me if I’m wrong) don’t seem to have a royal sorcerer. Or they would have defended them on that occasion of the order of the wand. Zumaria also seems to be a smaller kingdom than Enchancia or Wei-Ling. Sorcerers are, although it may sound derogatory, a possession that indicates power in a kingdom.
We see the children on "Sidekick Clio" (all of whom are some kind of royalty) also impressed with Cedric’s tricks. It’s likely that, as I said, even some royalty do not have much contact with magic.
Of course they could also have just been impressed by seeing a girl fly...but you get my point.
I mean that sorcerers are a select community that, by tradition, has lived alongside royalty. And that gives them a certain status that sets them apart from other magic users.
What I'm trying to say is that, similar to what Majoresca and @mushroomsie224 already mentioned, sorcerers are their own social circle and they are at a higher level among magic users in the EverRealm, being usually associated with royalty.
I feel that this also gives weight to the revolution that the Order of the Wand tries to make. Because, in a way, if this were a bit of what really happens, sorcerers, unintentionally, have ended up being a possession of royalty.
I don't know if it was rude to put so much stuff and not make my own post? It's not my intention, I love commenting on this with all of you and your wonderful ideas
Sorcerers in Sofia the First have different traditions from non-sorcerers. Sort of like a subculture? It's already seen that they dress differently (robes and pointed hats) and there is even a special retirement home for retired sorcerers. Not to mention the sorcerer's ball, which @ushsblog suggested is like an introduction into magical society. They even have their own phrases, like "Merlin's mushrooms" or "Neptune's nettles". So what's to say there aren't other differences? For example, weddings? Other events?
This difference in culture could explain Cedric's loneliness a bit further. He is different from non-wizards so he sticks out like a sore thumb. People in the village (as far as I could tell from the show) did not really think about Cedric in a negative light. In fact, they even praised his work in helping the crops grow in The Baker King. But would the villagers try befriending Cedric? Unlikely. He is too different from them, with his magic and his robes and all the other things.
@shychick-52 @majoresca
Silly sketch I did last night about Cedlock
(Skip if you are not interested in the ship because I'll ramble a little, thank you very much)
So, here's the real reason why Greylock joined the Order of the wand. May everything be for the good of the kingdom and its alliances.
But I'm sure Cedric would never make a pose like that, this is all a Greylock's fever dream.
While doing so, I was thinking about an old song that, for some reason, brought up the following scenario:
Greylock, after trying (and failing) to flirt with Cedric for the hundredth time, breaks into a sad-dramatic song. Well, in my head it really works more like the classic drunk guy who starts singing for his ex.
The song is from Spanish, but here is the translation. Just like the other dialogues.
1.
You walked by my side
With great indifference
Your eyes didn’t even
Turn towards me
I saw you without you seeing me
I spoke to you without you hearing me
And all my bitterness
Drowned inside me
2. How long were they together?
3. They were never anything.
For some reason the song makes me think of them (Yeah, a Pedro Infante song, lol) Within my silly headcanons for this ship, I like to think that Greylock has been in love with Cedric for years. And since Cedric doesn’t even notice, Greylock is dying from his indifference.
That's all, just some nonsense
Why Calista Has Such a Good Relationship with Cedric: An Analysis and Headcanons on Calista's Family Dynamics.
I’ve been thinking about why Calista likes Cedric so much and I’ve come to some interesting conclusions. I’ll break it down into points to explain my ideas.
(Long post)
1. How the world perceives Cedric.
For this, I think it’s very important to consider the interactions between Cordelia and Cedric before resolving the incident. It seems that despite their animosity, they have reached a truce for Calista’s sake.
Of course, they still have their conflicts, and Calista knows this because neither of them tries too hard to hide it. In reality, I think they do try, but both have short tempers that lead them to end up arguing.
In this scene, I like to believe that Cedric is afraid to say "No" to Cordelia because he tries to maintain the little peace they have created. Cordelia, although condescendingly, treats Cedric somewhat better in this episode.
If you notice, their arguments become more accusatory when they are alone. Like the scene before Calista and Sofia arrive with the mirror in "Through the Looking Back Glass"
In front of Calista, Cordelia limits herself to dismissing Cedric with small comments. For example: "Don’t be embarrassed to admit you forgot the spell" or "Don’t bother, we have delicate things and we don’t want... anything to happen to them" (Well, she doesn’t say exactly that, but that’s the vibe).
Anyway, these comments certainly have an impact that Calista does not overlook. She is aware that her mother sees Cedric as incompetent, as a failure.
I wouldn’t be surprised if, visiting her grandparents, Calista also heard similar comments from Goodwyn. Because he doesn’t seem to mind dismissing his son in public either: "Cedric the so-so" (Goodwyn about Cedric in Mystic Meadows in front of Sofia).
That’s why I like to believe that Calista says: "Any friend of my uncle Ceddy is the bestest best friend of mine."
Because, in reality, there are few people she knows who have a good image of Cedric. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sofia (besides Winnifred ) was the first person Calista knows who gets along well with her uncle.
Now, where does this lead us? Well...
2. The pressure that Cordelia inadvertently puts on Calista.
With this point, I’m not trying to say that Cordelia is a bad mother who pressures Calista to be perfect. No, at least not exactly.
In fact, I think Cordelia is a good mother. She cares about Calista and knows her perfectly. I like the next scene because it shows a bit of what I’m saying.
Despite being in a hurry, Cordelia doesn’t scold or yell at Calista. She gets down to her level to talk and make her understand that she can’t take her agenda without permission, and she kindly asks her to return it.
Of course, like any person, Cordelia has flaws as a mother. One of them is that often, unintentionally, she generates pressure on Calista not to fail. Let me explain.
By saying it’s unintentional, I mean that Calista, seeing how her mother treats Cedric for being a poor sorcerer and making mistakes, might get the idea that if she make mistakes, she would be treated the same way by her mother. Even if it really wouldn’t be like that.
Certainly, Cordelia asks her to behave, but she doesn’t scold her directly as she does with Cedric, because her issue with him is completely different. But, at least before looking in the mirror, Callista didn't know that.
3. Calista’s internalization of the fear of disappointing others.
That said, I believe that if Calista really thinks that if she fails like Cedric, she will be treated the same way by her family, it explains a bit of her anxiety to get along and prove herself in front of the witches in "Too Cute to Spook."
Now, although I said that what Cordelia does by generating this expectation for Calista is inadvertent, the next scene really catches my attention.
I always wondered why, at that particular part of the song, Cordelia caresses Calista in such a way. To me, it seems a bit like a kind of warning for Calista.
It’s probably not intentional, as I said, but I find it curious.
Anyway, continuing with this point...
It’s not very well explained in the series how complicated the spells that Calista does are, but it seems to me that for a child, she can do an incredible amount of things. She can make herself float, create illusions, create objects out of nothing, and, more interestingly, she can undo spells from a more experienced sorcerer (Cedric).
I say this because of that scene in "Gone with the Wand" where Calista frees Cedric from the nets he created for Morgana and ended up trapping him. I doubt that Cedric, wanting to trap Morgana, would have cast an easy spell to break.
What I mean is: Calista is a prodigy. At least, she seems to be.
Surely Cordelia must feel very proud of her, as must her grandparents, knowing how much Goodwyn cares about the magical ability of his descendants. So, wouldn’t that feed the fear of disappointing them?
This phrase, although it can be understood in the context of that episode, gives us a glimpse of how Calista perceives herself.
And, Who can understand that feeling better than anyone? Her dear Uncle Ceddy.
4. The relationship between Calista and Cedric: why Calista loves him so much.
Cedric loves Calista, that’s not in doubt. He listens to her, comforts her, and makes her understand that certain things are wrong in a compassionate way and not through scolding or mistreatment. His first instinct when they are in danger is to protect her (and Sofia), which undoubtedly shows Calista how much he cares for her.
If Calista feels that fear of disappointing others, Cedric could be the only person Calista sees who won’t abandon her if she turns out to be a failure instead of a prodigy.
If, in some way, Calista feels pressured by her mother’s expectations or the people around her, she finds a safe place in Cedric because she knows he won’t judge her, he won’t demand perfection from her.
Calista can be totally herself with him, I'm not saying she isn't with Cordelia, but if she's taking care not to have any flaws...
In the same way, that idea could fuel the empathy she feels for her uncle. She feels bad that Cordelia is hard on him because, even on a very different level, she understands what it feels like.
I should also add that Calista has a good image of Cedric; she has seen him perform spells perfectly. She believes Cedric is a great sorcerer, but if that great sorcerer is not enough in the eyes of his family, What fate awaits her?
Well, that’s basically all I have to say. Thank you for reading, and as always, I’d be happy to hear any comments!
Cedric's dark robe
I know the way Cedric's robe looks almost black is because of the animation, but I like to think that in fact, in season four he was starting to wear a darker shade of purple.
Like, the darkest shade of purple he could find because they wouldn't let him wear black.
He's in his emo phase.
Cordelia headcanon: Cordelia is magically charming.
So, I might have overanalyzed Cordelia's song a bit too much, and now I have an interesting headcanon about her.
This is also a kind of justification for why Sofia and Calista smile and dance with her throughout the song in "Through the Looking Back Glass"
1. Cordelia can enchant people.
I don’t know the exact English word to describe what I mean since I couldn’t find something similar, but I’m referring to Cordelia being magically charming to everyone.
Like a siren who seduces anyone with her beautiful voice, you know? Cordelia’s magic makes others more prone to like her. That’s more or less my headcanon.
Wouldn’t it be funny? While Cedric repels everyone around him, his sister attracts them easily?
I know this is referring to the way Cordelia always discredits him, but I thought it was illustrative. Furthermore, if her magic really made others like her more, it would also make them believe her more.
Well, that said, here’s my other idea.
2. Sofia and Calista were under her effect (A poor justification for the animation)
This point is quite doubtful, and it’s all a headcanon clearly, but the girls’ behavior during the song is a bit curious.
At the beginning, we see them worried about Cedric, and yes, they dance at the start too, but their faces show that discomfort.
It’s not until Cordelia lifts them with her magic that they start to smile and dance more cheerfully. I’m not saying that Cordelia bewitched them on purpose, no, what I’m saying is that her magic unconsciously has that effect on people.
When the girls move away from Cordelia, they seem worried again, and as soon as they get close to her again, they go back to smiling and being lively, as if being near Cordelia makes them do so.
I don’t know exactly if I’m explaining myself well, but I hope it’s understood lol.
Lastly, analyzing this, I was thinking about something else in the song.
3. Does Cordelia know about Cedric's attempt to usurp the throne?
This is more of a question for you rather than a headcanon or theory, what do you think? Does Cordelia know?
Because I find this part and the way she says it curious:
Because, objectively speaking, Cedric has never been in charge. Yes, he’s the royal sorcerer, but everyone knows that any authority that his position might carry is undermined and trampled by everyone.
It seems like an implicit way of saying she knows, I guess. Or maybe it’s my English failing again, but I think it can also be understood in the following way:
"With you in charge (as King), the place will end up a wreck"
It's another way of interpreting it I guess. Idk.
Well, I just found it interesting. It might also explain why she’s more aggressive this time with Cedric than in her previous appearance in "Gone With the Wand"
As always, happy to read any opinion on the matter!
Post to share songs that you associate with STF characters
Hi! I was listening to a song that reminds me of Cedric and wanted to ask if anyone else had a song they also associate with him or any other STF character.
For my part, I was listening to "El innombrable.* It's quite famous because of the TikTok trends, so maybe you know it, but if not, here it is:
Specifically, although the whole song fits him quite well, these parts remind me of him the most (Translated from Spanish to English, so there are slight differences in meaning):
Look who’s coming, look who’s there!
It’s him! The jinx, the wasp nest agitator
The one everyone says is a bird of ill omen
His presence ruins any celebration
And whenever he’s invoked, a disaster ensues
They say it’s like that, it was and will be
And he attracts disasters as if he were a magnet
May he not see us and may he not touch us
May no one think of greeting him
Don’t go shouting his name
Because he calls for calamity
When did his fame begin? How did the rumor spread?
Who was the first to stigmatize him?
Because once marked, he will always be pointed at
Who turns to stone will die as stone
He will carry that weight all his life
And that weight will end him
And partly in jest, partly in earnest
He will be the target of cruel laughter
I don't think I need to explain much why it reminds me of him lol. Anyway, I would be happy to hear some other songs that you like and why you associate them with stf characters!
The atmosphere you created is beautiful
hurrying home after spending a night sharing wild revolution plans and conspiracy theories near the fire in the middle of the nearest forest. it's morning almost maybe 4 or 5am idk, hope this guy on the top of the tower won't rat them out
Goodwyn's clothes
So, I recently realized that Cedric is, theoretically, dressed like his dad. I was just curious that they use the same tones, although Cedric's are darker.
I was also thinking that Goodwyn likes clothes with more details, for example that robe with a pattern. He also wears hats and other accessories like we saw in Mystic Meadows, so I wondered if maybe because Goodwyn's style is more "luxurious" than Cedric's, he thinks Cedric is poorly dressed.
I'm referring to that comment in Mystic Meadows about Cedric's robe.
Headcanon about Cordelia.
Since the incident, Cordelia used to wear wigs in brown or lighter shades to resemble her natural hair, but also to avoid looking too much like Cedric.
When Calista was born, she started wearing dark-haired wigs to match her daughter.
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!
The Throne
"He who has suffered some wrong may forget it; he who has done the wrong never will" —Henri Maret
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.
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?
@majoresca @moonypears-blog @ushsblog @cedric-my-beloved @sweetmariihs2
It's a good point to consider that, for branding and merchandise reasons, they might look to change the amulet, though I feel like it’s already something iconic to the series, and I’m not sure how much they would risk changing artifacts.
In any case, I think, as you said, it might undergo a change in appearance. However, within the series, I think Sofia could go through something similar to Elena’s journey with her scepter and later with her emotional powers.
Personally, I would like the amulet to continue its path with another person, since the idea has always been for it to reach the hands of princesses who need its help. Maybe, at a point where Sofia no longer needs the amulet and realizes that just as it helped her find her way, it could help someone else. (Or bring them a bunch of villains who want to rob them, lol)
Besides, I doubt anyone in the family would want the amulet knowing all that comes with it.
If they opted for a more dramatic route, I’d like to see the amulet lost in a great sacrifice for Sofia, which, at the end of the day, makes her realize that she is much more powerful on her own than because of the magic the necklace gave her.
The Amulet of Avalor: A blessing and a curse in the new series.
I have a feeling they're going to end up having to reduce the narrative influence of the Amulet of Avalor.
When it comes to the amulet, it's possible that they reduce its powers in some way. Or magically signals that Sofia no longer needs it, and that it should look for a new carrier, breaking her promise for the greater good.
( Or will it continue in the family? Will Miranda and Roland have a new member in the family? An adopted child, or perhaps a baby? Perhaps Aunt Tilly and Sir Bartley will have a child and Sofia will present the child with the amulet. )
Perhaps Sofia loses the amulet, implying that the amulet would be found by a new princess without Sofia having to break her promise.
Or, in a more "dark" alternative, the amulet becomes defective or breaks completely. Making it impossible for it to be used by her.
( Until it is fixed in a convenient way, so that it doesn't break the lore logic about the amulet being worn by multiple Disney princesses.)
Because its powers if they were "unlocked" at the grand finale of Sofia The First, and with Sofia's character development, the chances of her being cursed by it are reduced.
And if Sofia, using the Amulet of Avalor, doesn't have many challenges for her, what will the next challenges be?
On the merchandising front: if they decide to reuse the amulet, it's possible it will get an updated look.
If it already changed color during the series after Elena was freed from inside it, it's likely that it will undergo design changes in the new series as well.
( Whether it will get better or worse is debatable.)
What if they decide that the amulet is no longer viable as a recognizable source of merchandising? And that they need something more iconic and unique for the new series?
They will probably come up with some excuse as to why the amulet is no longer present, and have come up with a new "more magical and fantastic " item for Princess Sofia.
( Which also, will be equally debatable whether the change will be for the better or worse.)
And you guys? What do you think about this? I would like to know your opinion.

More Headcanons About Cordelia (Why does she seem to be single?)
I have a series of headcanons that I’m not really sure how to explain or where they came from, but here they are:
When Cordelia was a teenager, she was that girl who had many admirers and frequently changed boyfriends. She loved romantic gestures and details, the gifts, the flirting, but beyond the fun of being complimented and courted, Cordelia never felt what her friends told her she should feel.
Cordelia loved many people, but she never had that kind of love that a girl and a boy were supposed to have. Not even with another girl, which she tried in an attempt to see if that was her problem.
As time went on, Cordelia felt a growing concern about not being able to settle down and start a family. Because she wanted a family, but she refused to force herself to "love" someone just to have one. However, she was getting older, and the "right person" (as she had been told many times before) simply didn’t seem to come.
Because no matter how good the candidates were or how much she cared for them, her kind of love could never respond in the way they expected her to.
Once, while talking with Tilly, she confessed her dilemma. The young duchess told her to throw society’s expectations to the wind and live her life being herself, without fear of simply doing what felt authentic to her.
With that, Cordelia decided that it was okay not to have a partner and that she could start her family without needing one. It was as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
One day, she arrived at her parents' house suddenly announcing her pregnancy. A letter was sent to Cedric the same day to notify him of the news.
Her parents asked Cordelia about the sudden event and, most importantly, who the father or her partner was. Cordelia replied, as she had done many times before when various friends asked, that it wasn’t important, and although it was uncomfortable dealing with some opinions and rumors at first, she was thoroughly enjoying her motherhood.
So, yes, I’m basically saying that I have a somewhat elaborate headcanon where Cordelia is aromantic.
Cedlock as uncles, Headcanon
(This post is entirely a rambling of mine about my little imaginary Cedric and Greykock being a couple, so if you don't care about the ship, skip the post.)
Alright, I have a series of headcanons about the family dynamic of Calista, Cordelia, and Cedric if Cedric and Greylock were a couple (meaning both would be Calista's uncles). What do you call that? Ship-headcanon? Even though the ship isn’t, unfortunately, real?
For this, imagine that at some point after the end of the series, Greylock and Cedric meet again, resolve their issues (and all that complicated matter with the Order of the Wand and Rudistan), and become a couple.
Greylock eventually moves in with Cedric in Enchancia because, well, he wants to be with him. They become a little family along with their nieces: Calista and Sofia (Sofia declared herself as their adoptive niece and didn’t take no for an answer).
When Calista is visiting the castle, Greylock and Cedric play with her, and, secretly from Cedric, Greylock teaches Calista some spells for pranks.
Quickly, Calista develops a taste for pranks like her uncle (harmless ones, of course), which gets on Cedric’s nerves.
When Calista enters her teenage years, she starts to have a slight conflict with her personal style because she finds that, unlike what Cordelia would prefer, she doesn’t really like the dresses and elaborate headpieces she is expected to wear.
Cordelia doesn’t insist on changing her mind because she understands, somewhat reluctantly, that Calista doesn’t share her love for fashion. However, she notices that Calista feels a bit insecure about the matter, so she asks her uncles to talk to her.
Cedric tells Calista that it’s okay if she wants to wear something simpler along with her wizard robe. Greylock, supporting Cedric, advises Calista to wear whatever makes her feel comfortable and like herself, without worrying if it might be a bit unconventional. (Greylock uses himself as an example, who, now free from King Magnus’s control, has started dressing even more, in Cedric’s opinion, extravagantly).
Calista feels better and starts exploring what makes her feel comfortable until she develops her own style, which is a curious mix of her uncles’ and mother’s styles: a red wizard robe, a shirt and bow tie with a sort of vest over it, along with a simple skirt with a belt at the waist like Cordelia's. Her hair is half-styled and messy like Greylock’s, and she wears large star-shaped earrings like her mother. Additionally, Calista loves to wear the hat that Merlin gave her.
Omg, this is so beautifulllllll

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.
Alright, I've been thinking about this scene because it gives me a confusing and funny feeling.
I don't have much to say, I just find it amusing how Roland makes that gesture and Cedric comes running like an abandoned puppy.
I don't know, it's just... Wtf Roland hahaha.
At the same time, I also feel like it's soooo degrading. I don't know, maybe it's just my impression.
Thoughts?
