a custom write in: how do your opinions compare from first impressions (eg: trailers, previews, etc) to now?
β¨ Favorite Cedric moment?
Yay!! I get to name another favorite Cedric moment! Here's the first one I mentioned!
One of my other favorite Cedric moments in RM is when he makes his grand return entrance at the beginning of "Abracadazzle"!
Like most of you I'm sure, and as you can probably imagine, I was SOOOO excited to see him! I missed him SOOOOOO much! ππ
π Favorite episode?
This next chapter of Sofia's story has so many great episodes so far! Itβs hard to pick just ONE favorite! But I will say for a start "Show and Spell" is definitely my first favorite. Itβs an episode where I came out of it having thoroughly enjoyed every single minute!Β
I LOVE that Cedric is a sorcery teacher at Charmswell now, I love that the titular show and spell was HIS idea- and just as much, I loved loved LOVED watching Layla master her butterfly wings! π¦β¨
Ngl I assumed she had already known how to use them before we met her in the series premiere! And as a person who has the tendency to have anxiety creep up on me, the lesson of staying calm and thinking happy thoughts in a new and frightening situation is SOOOOO good!
βοΈ Write-in Question! How do your opinions compare from first impressions (eg: trailers, previews, etc) to now?
Excellent question! My opinions on RM before and after watching the first 8 episodes are pretty much the same! I was already excited and open-minded going into this show, and I still am! ππ«Ά
Yes, the animation style is new and different and not like the first show, but it's not terrible- it's incredible and BEAUTIFUL tbh! I liked it the moment I saw it, and I'm getting more used to it the more I see it!
And I was already hyped on a HUGE level that Sofia decided magic was her next path as a princess, and I was very excited to meet and get to know her new friends!
I tried not to see too many previews in advance because I have found that when I do that, my enjoyment on the piece of media in question when it finally comes out tends to be more lackluster than I want it to be. I like to be surprised and not know way too much!
I rewatched "the first" Sofia the First, I saw the teaser trailer back in February, and I watched the Magical Friends shorts before watching the show, and I don't regret that decision one bit- it was definitely the right one because I came out of watching this first batch of episodes delightfully surprised and satisfied with what I saw! And now I'm looking forward to seeing more! πβ¨
Sofia's reaction to Cedric's big entrance was so cute- definitely meant to mirror the Cedric fans' reaction after not seeing him for years (and her delighted, surprised reaction was also amusing because you'd think she *hadn't* seen him in a long time instead of living in the same castle)!
Cedric is SUCH a kind, supportive, encouraging teacher!! And he still has his classic sass, but it's much more playful instead of bitter!
Anytime he brings out his magical mandolin and plays music! πΆβοΈπ
But a specific moment? I would say I really enjoyed Zane bonding with Reggie over their shared love of catapults during βRoyal Mix It Upβ!
Thereβs something delightful about how there was James and Zandar and their shared love of cannons at Royal Prep in the first show, and NOW thereβs Zane and Reggie and their shared love of catapults at Charmswell in RM! π
And now I want to see Zane and James have a catapult/cannon debate!
Cedric is not big enough to cover them all, and he knows it, but his first instinct is to just spread his arms out and protect them all anyway!
It really goes to show that heβs definitely turned over a new leaf since his "desire to steal Sofia's amulet and take over Enchancia" arc from the first show, and that he genuinely cares for all the young magical royals! πππ₯Ή
It's been a real flamin' HOT minute, everybody π but I have taken my time, and as of last night, I have finished watching AND enjoyed the first 8 episodes of Sofia the First: Royal Magic!
πππͺβ¨
I am super excited to share each of my detailed thoughts on this great new beginning of Sofia's story with you all!
And to give you all a preview of what my take on this beautiful next chapter of Sofia the First is, I am setting up an ask game!
That's right- I am opening up my usually closed ask box for a limited time for some Royal Magic Q&A! π₯³π I'll make my ask box live and publish my questions in the next hour or so...

my videos don't do great on tumblr buuuut I wanted to share this anyway..... one last Chibiverse post! Here's another clip of my storyboards next to the final ep!! You can tell where things were revised after my boards were doneβ some shots don't hook up and there's some acting that's missing. I'm pretty sure I ended up doing those revisions, but I didn't wanna go lookin for them haha.
The shot of Perry switching into Agent P mode is definitely my favorite shot from this seq. :) I had a lot of fun workin on this episode, and workin on Chibi stuff in general. Felt right at home with the style and sensibility.
Anyway, that's it! Sorry for all the chibi posting!! No more, I promise!!!!

the horrors persist but so do books, art, hot chocolate, winter nights, the moon, the sea, the stars, sunsets, literature, libraries, cats, flowers, stories, love and the wistful feeling you get when you finally return home
I should lock the fuck in *half an hour passes* I should lock the fuck in *half an hour passes* I should lock the fuck in *half an hour passes* I should-
In context: Sofia suggested that they should make cedric king for the day just to make him happy cuz she cares that much about her bestie/adoptive dad but Roland of course doesn't think it's a good idea, so they decided to sort things out in a debate by inviting royals and villagers and let them vote if Cedric should be king for a day... although things start to escalate in a funny way between Cedric and Roland and all because Roland did one little lie ππ

Hi! For the ask you just reblogged, could you pls answer - Dark Shadows - #1 to #58! And also I know it's maybe kinda similar to the question #26 and #50, but for question #59, free ask. I want to know that if there was an episode or an arc that you would want to write, what would it be about?? Love you bestie!!! π
Thank you bestie!!!! Ok it's under a readmore since it's a little long! I left out a few questions that I just didn't have a good answer for, and the ones I already answered.
least favorite character: Ned Stuart π«π
favorite sidekick: Willie is the most sidekick character to ever exist so I'm gonna go with him
favorite romantic (canon) ship: is it wrong to say Carolyn and Jeb??? I'm kinda starting to root for their love
least favorite romantic (canon) ship: when they try to ship Barnabas and Maggie it does make me cringe, I must say. But the worst HAS to be Victoria and Peter/Jeff. She deserves sooooo much better.
favorite romantic (headcanon) ship: I wish the writers had had the guts to make Julia and Barnabas a couple. It would make sense AND be age appropriate. I don't really ship them, I'm more into their friendship, but I do think it could have been interesting to see it play out
least favorite romantic (headcanon) ship: I can't really think of any fandom ships that I find particularly annoying? I feel like the dark shadows fandom on tumblr is really chill about shipping? I haven't seen any that I hate.
least favorite friendship: Quentin and Barnabas. In what universe would these two get along??? Lol but in all seriousness I don't really mind it THAT much.
favorite sibling (canon or not) relationship: Sarah and Barnabas π’
favorite duo: Barnabas and Julia
favorite antagonist / villain: hard to choose because there's so many fun ones but I gotta go with Angelique
least favorite antagonist / villain: Dirk Wilkins
favorite episode: it's so hard to choose a specific episode since there are just soooo many. But maybe the costume party?
least favorite episode: I wasn't a fan of most of 1897 π¬
least favorite subplot: again I went by the ones listed on the dark shadows wiki, for me it's Jeff Clark, I never liked him or his story
favorite plot: again I'm using the dark shadows wiki for these, I think it's a tie between Barnabas the Vampire, the search for Barnabas' cure, and 1795
least favorite plot: 1897 and the hand of count petofi π¬
favorite plothole: how they kept forgetting that petofi didn't have his hand until recently π€£
least favorite plothole: they're all funny to me but the way they keep changing the timeline from 1795 to 1796 to 1797 is just annoyingggg
showrunners' missed opportunity: they should have respected women more in general and given Victoria more to do so that Alexandra would have stayed
favorite casting: they're all so perfect for their roles it's hard to choose? I'm gonna go with Jonathan as Barnabas though because he does creepy vampire so well!
least favorite casting: roger davis in general
favorite scene: so hard to choose just one! Honestly though, Maggie stumbling into the blue whale after escaping from windcliff is so good!!!
least favorite scene: any ned stuart scene, also any of the many slapping scenes in 1897 (imagine if the writers respected women. Would sure be nice)
favorite character arc: I think Barnabas has had a lot of good character growth, especially after being cured of vampirism, he learned a lot about caring for other people and being a good guy instead of a villain. Of course, he still relapses all the time. But still.
least favorite character arc: I'm going with Naomi Collins because I love her and I don't agree with what happened at the end of her arc. Naomi would have stayed for Daniel Collins I think.
favorite prop: the music box!
favorite scenery: the old graveyard is so fun to me BUT I also love the courtyard with the fountain
favorite pet character: there aren't really any pets? Unless you count the werewolf, or the time Joshua was turned into a cat.
favorite quote: I like when Naomi is confronting Reverend Trask and really lets him have it
favorite parent & child relationship: Barnabas with both Joshua and Naomi
least favorite parent & child relationship: does Quentin care about his children/descendants at all??????
favorite running gag in the show: "let's have a seance!"
did I see the original run: no, I wasn't born yet
how long have I been a fan: oh gosh. 15 years maybe???
one thing I would change: more respect for women please!!!!!
best executed trope: I think they did dracula and frankenstein tropes really well, in their own way
could've been better executed trope: I really liked the orpheus and eurydice thing with Quentin and Amanda in the underworld but I wish it had been a longer arc. I think it was fun, and I would have watched more of it.
one character I'd like to meet, why: Julia because she's so cool
one character I hope I never meet, why: Angelique because she scares me
one character I wish I'd be friends with: Victoria Winters, I think she'd be a really good friend.
one character I'm attracted to: Tony Peterson
one episode I wish I'd starred in: I don't know about a specific episode but I think it'd be fun to play Angelique
FREE ASK (if there was an episode or an arc that you would want to write, what would it be about?? We could do a phantom of the opera arc, that could be fun! I was going to say wuthering heights but I think they actually do that later, I just haven't gotten there yet.
