A video for Pride Month was necessary, especially for this show that offers realistic queer representation. The song used, 'Not the Same' by Sheldon Riley, is a ballad describing the singer's struggles with self-acceptance due to his neurodivergence and sexual orientation. I found it incredibly relatable for Edwin, so I did my best to give enough credit to this compelling character and this musical masterpiece, which is unfortunately underrated. (Especially due to my pack of editing skills) Happy pride everyone

Since the last time the massive streaming went very well, I decided to do another one for the anniversary. The goal is to reach the top ten as most watched again . An organized streaming with a set date could be more useful, as a lot of people will watch it at the same time, but this doesn't mean we should stop streaming at other times . If you're too busy, let the show play in the background.

The first time you heard about a demon named David, you actually didn’t take that seriously. And that ‘s very wrong. He’s literally a demon who wants only to hurt and scare. He harasses Crystal every time he can , not just for her power , but especially because he enjoys seeing her shake and flee . He’s a demon ; this is the only pleasure he knows. He’s a master of temptation, letting people show their worst side all while using only his words , of which he’s completely confident they will work. His story didn’t end buried under the dirt near Crystal’s tree. This was stated openly in the show. So it makes his future arc really interesting. How would he come back? Will Crystal finally be free from him? Will he return to hell as he should? For now, all of this is a mystery.

Powerful and fighting deities imprisoned in a jar in a pink room full of anime posters. The sprites are the comic interlude that never feels out of place. With the insults hurled by their small stature and harsh tones , along with their childish attitude , it is impossible to take them seriously. They truly go above to gain all the attention they want, unfortunately in the way they desire . So they will be starving for a long time. Also , I really loved their relationship solely between them. They look like a middle – aged married couple who started to hate each other but are also incapable of being torn apart. Now that they are finally out of the “magical jar , “ they still need to understand what they have to do because they are in a completely new position . So they are just like us: waiting to see how it will go in the unpredictable future .

This sixth day of Appreciation Week is dedicated to three beautiful characters , each of whom shows a different aspect of queerness. Besides this and the common infatuation for our favorite bowtie ghost , there’s so much more.

Monty is a character who, from the start , made me affectionate toward him, despite his role as the villain ‘s sidekick . He spent all his existence inside a birdcage , croaking over the witch ‘s shouts and complaints . When he found himself as a human , he suddenly experienced something so unusual for a crow : feeling. He was unprepared for their strength and their tendency to overwhelm him so easily. Monty fell in love , embracing the concept of love – the kind he had read about a thousand times behind every constellation, in the name of the Littlest Star , in the book he shared with dedication. Unfortunately , Monty had the worst fate for a lover: unrequited love. He had to see his beloved wearing the look he wanted to receive , but directed elsewhere, and the most hurtful thing was that the last sight he saw of him was imprinted with hate. His heartbreak was so profound that he ran without explaining himself properly. He ran back to his previous state as a crow. His decision to help Charles in the last episode is not the beginning of a redemption arc because he didn’t actually need it; it was the umpteenth proof of his strong feelings , a demonstration of his kind heart beneath the black feathers.

The Cat King imposes his role from the first scene , with an entrance that is as theatrical as it is relaxed. He is a predator who uses charm and sophistry instead of fangs and claws. There are several adjectives that could describe him: seductive, flirty , selfish, disinterested , and also very funny with his jokes and antics . It ‘s truly admirable to think we only see him for a relatively short time. He’s a cunning trickster who was able to deceive even us at home. With his costumes, mannerisms , and calibrated words , he crafted a structured version to prevent us from seeing his real self. His past is a mystery, and his true motives have never been clear . Edwin was able to catch only a glimpse of who he could actually be. He recognized a loneliness that he wasn’t even able to argue against . The Cat King is truly a captivating character in his enigmatic charm, and there’s so much more to discover beneath the flirtation and the well-groomed fur .

Simon appeared in two scenes , and from one to the other , he seemed like a completely different person. I’m saying without shame that thanks to the incredible Gabriel’s acting, his scene in Hell made me cry. Obviously , the reasons do not justify his actions , but they demonstrate how hard it was to be queer in a time when people were considered sinners for merely loving someone of the same sex. His actions are the result of internalized homophobia and the fear and inability to express himself. With Edwin’s forgiveness , he became free , but only by recognizing the wrongness of what he did could he become a better person , ready to enter his peaceful afterlife . It’s a love -hate relationship with these characters , but the formidable way he was written can only be praised.

Today we are celebrating three powerful and captivating women. It’s really important to have these strong and diverse female representations in shows to break every kind of stereotype.

Jenny, despite what her aesthetic might suggest, is caring and maternal in her own way. She is the first in line when the girls’ safety is at risk , and I think she would show the same behavior towards the boys once she began to know them. Her character is really realistic, representing our uncontrollable tendency to slip into a life predetermined by expectations that are not ours, falling into a daily routine that we don’t like. It is clear that she maintains her role as a butcher only due to paternal inheritance and a relationship that , unfortunately , could not be explored further during the story. Furthermore, her combative and courageous soul , which emerges in the most difficult and uncomfortable moments , should not be underestimated.

Another character who fell into the expectations of her position is the Night Nurse. Rules and order are her only driving forces and the reasons for her strict behavior . She thinks only through articles and paragraphs ; her only purpose in life is to work , as it has been decided so. She doesn’t care about what the souls of the kids she collects want , or at least that’s how it was. Since her meeting with Kashi , she has started to reflect, although not showing it, on a new way of doing things , and this is demonstrated by the sudden behavioral change she has with the boys. An antagonist with an excellent redemption arc , unfortunately blocked by others , since (for the moment) we won’t see her in the role of the amiably annoyed tutor.

Last but not least, how can we not celebrate the ultimate villain of the season when she literally fed us? Esther Finché is the example of how a great villain should be written. A breath of fresh air , given that we are often used to misunderstood characters, comical sketches , or the general absence of any danger in today’s cinema. Her goal is revenge , always, and she does everything in her power to reach it . She is so evil that once she learns about Edwin’s torture in Hell, she thinks to make him suffer more. She is ruthless in getting what she wants and does so without justification , believing she is right. It reminds us of the witches we heard about in fairy tales, obsessed with youth, beauty , and power , who tormented the protagonists for just that. A charismatic and fascinating character who had a worthy end but leaves such a great impact that it will be difficult to erase her from the memories of the protagonists and , above all , from those of the public.

Niko makes her first appearance with colored lights and flowers , and I think it is the best summary of her (let’s forget for a second that they are the Sprites) . She sees the good in everything, spreading positivity and always being supportive of her friends. She shines like a bright light in a dark room , bringing love and optimism wherever she goes. That’s why she is so easily loved.

Sometimes people forget to praise her bravery and intelligence. Niko proves time and again how much knowledge she has and demonstrates her cunning, for example , when she finds the ruse that puts the Night Nurse on the spot. Her courage is very commendable . It’s not easy to throw yourself into dangerous situations without having any supernatural powers like the other members of the Agency .

Personally , I relate a lot to Niko because I see in her the reflection of my old self . Her brightness , fun , and optimism are her best- known qualities , but her forgotten loneliness is what I relate to. Niko , at the beginning, was always locked in her room , and she felt very happy to meet Crystal, Charles, Edwin , and also Monty because she didn’t have friends . Also , after the “Date’s accident, “ she was very firm about returning to her hermitism if it weren’t for Jenny. Because she wants to help, she wants to bring happiness to the people she cares about , and she takes all the blame by shutting herself off when she doesn’t succeed. She gets excited by the little things and can always suffer because of them. Her empathy, passion , and kindness make her a great friend , and meeting the kids has given her a way to demonstrate this . They saved her from that perspective too.
