In an AU where Kandrakar dropped the psychological torture prisons in favor of weird attempts at teaching the prisoners life lessons, what would Phobos and/or Cedric be subjected to?
Answers as legit, cheesy or off the rails as you want.

Good afternoon!
Is there a thought that torments you or do you think about it from time to time?✍️ From comics or cartoons.
And did you get to the books?😌☝️
Thank you so much for your question! Sadly, I never got to the books, but I am thinking about buying them some day^^
As for thoughts that torment me:
Somewhere, there is an alternate universe where just before coronation day, magical Covid struck Meridian and now Cedric is stuck explaining to a bunch of tinfoil-hatted anti-healer-rebels that they are not immune to a virus just because they have crystals taped to their chakras.
For something a bit more serious: I have recently learned from @briardarkdragon that the dragon myth originally given as the origin of the girls powers is much more closely based on existing culture. They kindly sent me some wiki links to read a bit more on this, and... Yeah, I just thought I'd say sorry for just throwing a bunch of assumptions out in my witchversary posts. Some rando german deciding they'd put up theories about a different cultures stories and not even realizing they were doing so must be pretty frustrating to a lot of people, and I feel that I have been inappropriate. I also deeply apologize for referring to the dragons as animals in one of my first ever wots without informing myself further.
I am going to delete the paragraphs on my assumptions from the wots, and likewise the first post, and will leave these theories to someone more versed in the culture.
If there is any other time I have been inappropriate in this or any other way, feel free to let me know.
What's a W.i.t.c.h. character trait or relationship that has become so established in your mind that you start getting confused when you're reminded it isn't actually canon?
1. Orube being autistic
2. Gargoyle being female ( yes with he/him pronounce , why you ask ?)
3. Cedric being much more of goofball when not in presence of Phobos
4. Miranda talking in her lower voice when not around Elyon or girls
5. Will being trans
Cedric got adopted by his sisters found family and lived happily ever after, what are you talking about, why wouldn't he be alive?
I know I already said this but the black rose hedge starts out as just two roses. And it spreads by people running into it. Like, bitch, you deserve to be turned into a black rose if you try to rebel by just leroy jenkinsing up ahead into a teenie tiny flower. And what kind of angry lemming mob formed a nice, even circle around the garden before touching thorns? And HOW did ANYONE get onto the upper levels of that shitshow? Was the castle attacked by a circus? Does Daltar have to rearrange the roses? How does he get them up there?
Also: do they get pollinated? Or are they saved from that fate because Phobos doesn't allow bugs in the garden? Can any of them ever look an insect in the eye once they turn back to normal?

Does anyone know what tf inspired the cartoon Cedric noises? I mean, I don't expect much of a show where the frog geek asks whether lizards are reptiles or amphibians, but I can't even come up with anything close to a reptile, or even a sauropsid, that would produce anything close to his sound, so if anyone with a higher IQ in either animal sounds or backstage information can help me out here?
Without listening to the dubs that aren't English, I would say it's just Dee Bradley Baker doing what Dee Bradley Baker is known for (over the top alien animal noises)
Oh, yeah, I was referring to the English dub 😅
And well, it's neither like over the top doesn't suit that transformation nor like the rest of cartoon!Cedric is particularly accurately reptilian (which is fine in fantasy, don't get me wrong), and he is an alien, so I guess it works.

1. Cedric, having anger issues and trying to calm himself down with breaking stuff.
2. My Natalie/Cedric ship, sometimes I forget that she isn't canon🤣
3. ToonPhobos, having lot's of his portraits in his chambers. Or at least, a giant ass mirror.
4. ComicCedric being not such a doormat
I once created Phobos in Sims and he ended up dumping Cedric for a clone of himself 😂 so 3 is canon in my eyes.
Also, yeah, I can totally relate to forgetting some OCs aren't real...when I read the Runic issue, I came up with this parallel universe thing in which each W.i.t.c.h. character has a counterpart, and I keep forgetting they are just a bunch of OCs I stuffed in there, lol
you know, i usually don't bother applying or looking for feminist or racial critiques to this franchise, but tonight i feel like thinking thoughts, so if anyone wants to discuss or has links to past discussions, hmu
In the TV show, Elyon constantly judges everything based on looks, ignoring actions and words, and this is portrayed as justified.
In the comics, pathologic jealousy if coming from a female is portrayed as a sign of love, every hint of jealousy coming from a male as a sign of distrust.

Orube being a lesbian and not interested in Cedric. My denial is powerful, but not perfect sadly
Even in a completely heterosexual, cisgendered world no one could convince me they were healthy falling in love with each other and not just latching onto the role the other fulfilled for them.
Imagine if Cedric had still been around for the green ray filler issue, and upon finding out what's going on, the girls rush over to the bookstore only to find Cedric and Phobos completely submerged in diabetes inducing wedding preparations.
cedric could have defeated phobos simply by calling him "baby". like, phobos would just die from shock on the spot.
As a pet name or an insult?
pet name, but ironically bc cedric no longer loves him (but phobos wouldnt have known that)
((i think phobos has heard every manner of insult thrown at him and is immune))
In the show, I'm with you 100%, but in the comics, idk, I think Cedric insulting him in any way would just not compute, as Cedric is just such a backboneless sucker up simp (who I love very dearly). Although the pet name would probably work better in both installments.

pretty much everything bc i'm senile, but specifically,
1. Hay Lin + Eric 5ever
2. Dormouse and Luba are still alive
3. Yan Lin is Joan's mom (like i know it's already been established she's not, but the Four Dragons plot really messed me up lol)
4. Hay Lin's family is from mainland China, not HK
5. Not character-specific, but the Silver Dragon is located in a predominantly Chinese community.
6. (TV) Phobos is shorter than Cedric. I keep thinking he only comes up to Cedric's shoulders (minus the crown, which gives him an extra 3 or 4 inches lol)
7. Elyon is 10 or 11 at the start of the series (i keep thinking shes younger than she is bc the TV version is so childish and self-centered).
8. Xin Jing was a mortal who became a deity and founded Kandrakar.
9. Kadma and Halinor kept in touch with Yan Lin and were there for Hay Lin's early life, but Halinor died when Hay Lin was like 5 and Kadma stopped visiting as often, so she doesn't remember them.
ETA: Cedric is trans
Lol, actually got confused about Yan Lin being Joan's Mom, so you're definitely not alone there. Same goes for TV-Phobos being that short...guess we're both senile xD
Also I totally feel you on Cedric. Especially cartoon Cedric could very well be trans, as his snake form does look more like a female with how bulky and huge it is. Although I do tend to view him as genderfluid or nonbinary, since he's my obligatory genderfluid comfort shapeshifter.
So, one more thing from the witchversary prompts I'd really been wanting to talk about but kinda didn't have time was mystery.
Now, right off the bat, I think both the show and the comics (Arc 3 and onward, I still don't think it's a coincidence only the first arcs were adapted, as they have a different overall feel than the rest) handled mystery worse than just about anything I've ever witnessed, and while I know that this is an opinion, I will be quite direct in my criticism of the writing. If you ever feel personally attacked, feel free to inform me about that, as that is certainly not the goal of this post.
