🏫 Favorite part about Charmswell?
CD's Sofia the First: Royal Magic Ask Game!
What I like the most about Charmswell so far is its vibe!
Not only because it's a magic school- I LOVE a good ol' magic school- but to me, it feels more chill and not as strict compared to Royal Prep! It's like...it's like college! Almost! (And a part of me says that having gone to, then graduated, college myself between the conclusion of the first show and the start of this second show! Studying the next best thing after magic! Film and animation! But I digress...)
The campus is HUGE, the students get tea time breaks (something I don't think Royal Prep even had! They had tea etiquette lessons and recess, yes- but not, like, a dedicated time to chill out and have tea!), and of course, there are the castle clubhouses to hang out in while you are in-between classes! Basically, I feel like there is a lot more freedom at this school! Something I wasn't necessarily expecting...BUT I LOVE IT!
Now I could be off, WAY off- but it also seems like Sofia, her friends, and their classmates don’t have every single one of their classes every day in the week, either...
Like, for example, I take it they only have sorcery and potions class with Cedric on certain days of the week 🪄🧪 (let's use Monday and Wednesday), while other days of the week they have enchanted gardening class with Muddykins ✨🌸 (perhaps Tuesday and Thursday) and so on and so forth! Which is also like college!
And although meeting people and making friends is another one of Sofia’s greatest strengths, there's also the sense that Sofia’s classmates are more "her people" compared to her classmates at Royal Prep- because they're all interested in magic and that's what they all came to this school for! Whereas the people at Royal Prep had many different interests and paths they wanted to pursue...with some of them even having ZERO interest in magic!
But yeah! Charmswell feels like college, even though it’s not. Because the students are like 10-12 years old, and they all get to go home to their kingdoms everyday and be with their families, too!
So in short, it's been great exploring and getting to know Charmswell, as well as the students at Charmswell, so far! I look forward to going back to it and seeing more once the next batch of episodes arrive! 😄
