If you’ve never watched it before (or if you’re in the mood for a rewatch), I highly recommend seeing Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts before it leaves Netflix next month!

It’s one of my favourite Netflix shows, but sadly it never got the hype it deserves 😔 Plus, it features one of my favourite black girls in animation, Wolf!

MORE KIPO HYPE PLEASEEEE

"Regulus is Sirius' baby!" I scream as they drag me to the padded room.

"He's right!" A voice shouts in the distance.

It's James Potter who, after trying to take Regulus on a date, witnessed Sirius go full parent-mode on him like they haven't been best friends for years.

It's their dynamic, I love them

I loved watching Callum wrestle with his conscience by arguing with Dark Magic Callum, and I would actually love to see the same thing from Claudia, but with her Non Dark Magic Self. Is she haunted by a four year old girl with purple hair who wouldn’t hurt a fly and just loved the castle cat and looked up to her brother Soren?

[itsmyknife]

what if the dark sides never actually did anything to virgil but something about being around them just puts him in survival mode and he had to get out

i read ashley's post about Logan's stagnancy and had a lot of thoughts about it / adjacent to it that I felt bad tacking them All onto her post so that's what this post is for. I reccomend reading ashley's post first just for potential context but also it's a good post that raises fair concerns.

she briefly touched on some things regarding Logan & Orange that I do feel Some Type Of Way About, because before we got more Orange hints & implied connections with Logan, it was generally well-known he was the least popular side (I mean, it even gets mentioned as an insult point-blank in an episode).

I'm not saying people only care about Logan because of Orange, or pulling any lame "new fans aren't Real Logan fans" bullshit. But I feel like there is something to be said about the fact that IMO, 50% of current fans who place Logan as their favourite side didn't feel that way before SvS Redux, WTIT, etc. And some of that's natural, because Logan's had some great moments since then, and also like god forbid people's faves change over time, but idk. I feel like people are way too enamoured by what could be going on regarding Logan & Orange than actually caring about Logan as his own character, without realizing. This isn't helped by the fact that a majority of the fanart I see for him nowadays is either explicitly about their connection, or alluding to it in some way (ei Normal ass fanart but Logan will have orange incorporated into his design). which again, not bad! just interesting to me.

it's like Logan currently can't exist as his own character even in the fandom, because of the looming presence of Orange. even character moments that should be big or at the Very least notable for Logan as we lead to his next arc are not only overshadowed by Orange's presence, but sometimes explicitly 'written away' from Logan by fans. I've seen lots of people theorize that Logan's outburst in WTIT wasn't Logan at all, and was just Orange speaking through Logan. Which is fine as a theory, but it takes away Logan's agency and some of his first more obvious less-static moments towards the end of the season.

& none of this is an attack on fellow fans, I'm not trying to invalidate anybody's Logan-fan status. Even if this is true & a lot of people jump ship to a new favourite side once we get Orange properly revealed, that's cool, and I'm glad to at least be Logan-stans-in-arms rn. it's just like. confusing for me to witness as somebody who's favourite side has Always been Logan, and as somebody who pretty regularly seems to disagree with/think differently from the majority of the fandom. I already have a Lot of thoughts about the current fandom's acceptance of how intertwined Logan & Orange are despite all of this Being Theories And Not Canon Yet but that's for a wholeeee other post.

[rootsaficky]

I fully agree with this. the whole thing of "logans going to turn into the orange side" i think is so dismissive of his character. like there is no way on EARTH thomas would just erase logan as a side. hes HAD character development long before we even got hints of orange. the "least popular side", his want to be listened to, he want to be needed and appreciated, hiding or pretending he doesnt have emotions. so many of the other sides have has similar character arcs and arent just brushed aside with a "hes been taken over by another side"

[rootsaficky]

something i LOVE abt being a fan of a ship that isnt that big, is the small joys you get seeing media of it grow. like i remember when fionna and cake S1 first came out, and i IMMEDIATLY went to ao3 to look for prohibited wish fanfics and there only being 23. AND NOW THERE ARE OVER 400??? in any other fandom that would be miniscule but my god am i so proud.

sanders sides s1: I WAS IN A DISNEY SHOW?? i turned myself into a cartoon!! haha my morality wants me to eat pasta with chocolate syrup and a bunch of crumbled up cookies XD anxiety is a bitch but we can get through this! #adulting

sanders sides s2: am i a good person? will i ever truly be satisfied with the choices i make in life? catholic guilt and childhood conditioning has caused irreparable damage to my mind and instilled in me the idea that i will never be a good person, no matter how hard i try. who am i if i can't be a good friend who's always there for others? what does my existence mean in the grand scheme of things?
