LUDO THEME SONG TAKEOVER

Source of the recording

Who would've thought that, after all these years, I'd have the opportunity to make a post about NEW content? And right on the tenth anniversary of the Season 2 premiere / Ludo in the Wild!

Sure, not exactly canon, but it's still the tiniest of glimpses into the daily life of Earthni! Waiting for Daron Nefcy to acknowledge its existence to possibly know if she or anyone from the old crew of the show was involved to an extent, or if this was entirely the child of whatever Disney department works with "promotional" things like this.

This obviously could mean nothing beyond the animators getting old reference materials or literally reusing already existing assets, but seems like Butterfly Castle got repaired.

In my heart of hearts I know everything Ludo showed is actually real even though he said it was all a distraction and I know he actually paints little Buff Frogs (bottom left corner).

The Pigeon Kingdom castle being so close to the city park means no picnic is free from guano. Earthni, what a terrible place!

Also, as a reminder to normal people who might have forgotten a detail or two in the SEVEN YEARS since the finale aired, according to Daron Nefcy the laser puppies are still alive but regular puppies now. Yes, it doesn't make much sense given the effects the destruction of magic had. No, we won't think about it.

Oskar got his car back from the Realm of Magic, Tom learned how to ride dragoncycles enough for Hampton to let him do it, and Roy went from "Goblin Dogs are for select few who earn them" to "it's capitalism, baby. LSD for everyone!" over the course of the show.

Grown ass man by the way.

Can't believe Ludo is so poor Spider has to read magazines that are almost two years old by now.

Neat reference, and a good way to tell just how different Ludo's voice / acting was in S1 compared to the rest of the show, when he was still your typical megalomaniacally diminutive silly villain rather than a serious threat living through seven different mental health crises as part of his character arc.

Even if the canonicity of this short is extremely partial at best, it's nice for Star to be glad at the idea of Ludo enjoying his life.

They're true to me! I get the comedic potential of Ludo going after the wand now that there's no magic to harness anymore at all, but I hope that in Canon Land, in the sweet dreams for a fifth season (now with a budget increase) Daron has when falling asleep, Ludo maintains his progress from S4 and is living his best life without thinking about the wand anymore.

I also hope that Earthni gets more textures for the sky and that the blue-lilac one is just, like, at sunset. Would be boring for all scenes to have the same background!

Since Star's finale took place more or less in 2016 while Amphibia takes place in 2019, this sentence clearly tells us two things:

Ludo has deep knowledge of the multiverse and its mysteries and was aware of the location of the Calamity Box and its function years before the events of the series.

it's obvious in your art, your styles, your writing, the way you talk about transition.

it's obvious because when a girl expresses discomfort with femininity you suggest she might be trans. because "prolonged gender nonconformity" is widely accepted as a sign a child is trans. because you use the word "gender" as a synonym for style or personality.

“You won the race to the ovum!”, “this was you in your father’s balls”.

Also I've seen a lot of bios with something in the lines of "het partnered women DNI" and it makes me laugh so hard because, again, I'm literally almost double your age and if you think I don't have good enough criteria to know who tf I'm dating, then I'll laugh even harder.

Sure, young girls are hypersexualized and will date any loser, but.... that's kind of a part of life too, people fuck up, especially teens and young adults, I know you girlies have a superiority complex and know you're just so much better than the girls who socialize with men, but trust me, you're literally not helping anybody here, I have no clue how tf you're supposed to help other women and make feminist literature if you don't talk to women from all walks of life.

This childish cancel culture is so tiring istg.

"no i won't talk to you because boys have cooties!!!"

This is exactly why so many of us are frustrated with feminists who date men. Because you have this idea that you hold some special knowledge to find a Good Man™️, implying that women who end up with abusive and dangerous men just aren’t as smart as you are.

How can you assure a woman who’s experienced domestic abuse that it wasn’t her fault, because no woman can ever predict if a man will end up being abusive…but then turn around and say “well I have good criteria for the men I date, so I’ll be fine”. Did she not have good enough criteria? Was she too stupid to see red flags? Is she just “hypersexualised and will date any loser” as you said in your post? But you’re better than her, you’ll make a good choice. You’ll find the nicest guy ever who’s super duper feminist and will never lay a hand on you. All those women who ended up unlucky just didn’t have your superior abuse screening skills.

Also, if you think that 4B is about getting women to “give up their love life for literally no reason at all”, you don’t understand the 4B movement and haven’t been listening to feminists. There’s many reasons feminists give for 4B, including but not limited to: there’s really no “love life” to be had in the first place because men are misogynistic, you can never know what man will make you breakfast in bed vs which man will kill you in a fit of rage, you can never know for sure which men are laughing at their friend’s rape jokes or simply staying quiet, and men have spent thousands of years treating women like domestic servants and have not yet unlearned this so a truly equal heterosexual relationship free of this power dynamic is nearly impossible.

It’s not just “boys have cooties”. It’s “men are dangerous to women, and get even more dangerous when they’re romantically/sexually partnered with women. Women and girls should, as a class, refrain from putting themselves in dangerous relationships with them until they—men and boys—work together as a class to stop being a danger to women and girls”.
