New idea for tagging NSFW posts: #protect the first years

While you should still obviously make sure you tag NSFW content with the appropriate tags marking it as such, it was suggested that “protect the first years” would be a fun little fandom specific tag for NSFW items.

So, yes, let’s use it.

Found this lil nugget in my old bookcase! I had a read because (yes I’m that deep into this obsession) I wanted to compare it to all the different adaptations.

I found that the 1986 film and the 1998 series followed all of the different plotlines pretty much exactly- Mildred turning Ethel into a pig, Ethel causing Mildred to ruin the broomstick display, Mildred running away and discovering Agatha+Evil Minions and foiling their plan. In fact, the 2017 series seems to have been the one which has strayed furthest from the book, with Agatha’s lone plan of a total obedience spell being discovered on Selection Day. I’m most disappointed that they missed out on the (Bae) Miss Hardbroom thanking Mildred for saving the school from Agatha and then Mildred says:

“Sometimes, I think she probably isn’t as mean as we think she is”

“Perhaps you are right, Mildred” *disappears again with adorable chuckle*

Where is this wonderful scene in the 2017 series??? Am I the only one who is not happy with the amount of HecaBAE we get? It also seems to me like Constance was more revered, every time something bad happened the girls would be like: “Get Miss Hardbroom!” even the staff did it. And now apparently other people can do her special materialising trick which only Constance (And Broomhead) used to be able to do.

Originally written for the (then) upcoming 40th anniversary of the first book, here is a collection of articles that look over every incarnation of The Worst Witch that had been aired to the current date. Interesting if only for the look back at how Mildred Hubble has developed on our screens.

Onward, ever striving onward Proudly on our brooms we fly Straight and true above the treetops, Shadows on the moonlit sky.

Ne’er a day will pass before us When we have not tried out best Kept our cauldrons bubbling nicely, Cast our spells and charms with zest.

Full of joy we mix our potions, Working by each other’s side When our days at school are over Let us think of them with pride

Fearless witches never flinching, Through the dark and dismal night, Ghouls, and ghosts, and nightmare monsters, Run away in fright!

We are the girls with skills in sorcery, When in flight, quite a sight to see. We’re young witches and glad to be Learning our craft at Cackle’s Academy!
