Saw someone online say they didn't like Sofia's hair after the time jump in 3x08 because it was "too similar" and "basically the same" as how her hair was styled in season 2...AS IF THOSE WEREN'T HER BEST HAIR LOOKS?!?!
Like how often do we ever get to see interracial couples on TV where the Black girl isn't styled after eurocentric features so as to make her more appealing to her white, romantic counterpart? Gina/Sofia is literal hair goals, I won't hear anything different.

I'm shocked to see that Goncharov is trending so hard for a 1973 movie, but then again this is the website where being drip-fed Dracula made it a mainstay of the year so what do I know
When Sofia fails to get a spell right and she feels disheartened, Cedric takes her out for a treat in the village, such as ice cream or muffins. He knows better than anyone how discouraging failing can be, and if he can do something to make her a little bit more encouraged he will. While they eat their sweet of choice, Cedric gives her words of affirmation and support.
This is what I did during my spare time... I'm fine.
Side Notes: I didn't add any of the actual players for simplicity's sake, but I did add characters played by the CCs that aren't their main characters such as Arin, ElQuackity, and Sapo Peta.
It will be too complicated to add ex-alliances and spy-related stuff... but if I did! Jaiden will be between the "knows the federation" and "sides with the players" and Etoiles will be between "understands the codes" and "sides with the players" just because there are no real secrets about it if you watch their POVs.
so I watched renegade nell which I mostly liked. but. there's a problem of thinking critically about media because at some point you will see that a lot of underlying messages just start to disappoint you...
ok. so. the show is original and fun, even though sometimes a little on the nose, but we will accept that due to the whole family adventure vibe. it's not an adaptation of anything, which is. surprising. for a fantasy action disney show. and the main character is both very gender and also looks like a human person instead of digitally fixed beautiful protagonist, and the magic's fun — subtly done but atmospheric since it drew from actual folklore.
which is fun! and it should be a fun little show! with nobody batting an eye at Nell for presenting femme and masc in equal measure, and with a family story at the front, and with the very hot evil woman thwarting their plans. fun!
but no. why do a fun little show when you can do serious drama?
so Nell finds out about the people wrongly incarcerated — by an incredibly in-your-face sequence of little kids telling sob stories, which is fine, this is a show for a younger audience, you can have a little moralism, as a treat — and now this is a moment of finding purpose, that's what her powers are for! helping people! changing the world! fixing the injustice, not just figuring out her family situation!
which is, you know, fine, if she would actually do that. instead of, after one prison break, turn around and go on the quest to save the queen. (obviously there's still personal storyline about her sisters, which is good and fun, but different storyline). and, ok, they explain it as hey if we have another monarch now trying to take the throne, there will be war and war fucks people up — but, uh, firstly, helping to stop one attempt at a coup does not solve the actual problem&
and secondly. and more importantly: ok, you show the societal problems, the classism & sexism. you spoon-feed it more than show (oooh, evil guys sit around and say the most horrible thing ever if the peasants will have the right to vote!), but ok. it's there. and then your resolution is to, what. help the absolute monarchy? I feel like it undermines the story. just a bit!
but it's fine! the queen gives our hero her house back! the queen's a girlboss! it's all good now! there's totally not gonna be any more issues in this world, we fixed everything!
sarcasm aside, I'm just a little bit tired about stories that try to seem as they deconstruct and destroy some social issues but still can't see the way these same issues are connected to the other institutions that they support (after rewatching some of merlin bbc — the classics of we join the war with homophobia on the side of homophobia — I'm just. a little frustrated).
and it wouldn't be a problem if they focused fully on the family story. it was good! you had a good thing going!
It cracks me up that Daniel and Betty are IN TEARS saying goodbye when Betty’s going to work for Sofia…IN THE SAME BUILDING. Daniel’s family still owns the magazine Betty’s working at. Like dudes you could still ride the elevator together every single day. She’s going to a different floor, not the moon. Dramatic asses.
