I've wanted to talk about the relationship between Willow & Boscha for awhile now.

Long post is long (accidentally posted it too early. My bad!)

Boscha the Bully

According to the Inner Willow, Boscha (along with the other popular girls) picked on Willow for years.

We don't find out why tho.

Compared to when Amity would insult her, Willow didn't seem to have much of a reaction to Boscha's bullying.

Which could mean Willow possibly didn't see Boscha as much of a problem until Wing It Like Witches.

Boscha's bullying only got worse when Willow (unknowingly) became more popular than her.

- Note: Boscha's fully aware of how great Willow (as well as Luz & Gus) can be. She must really want Willow to not be aware of her greatest just satisfy her own ego.

How long has this been going on? On to the next part.

Are Willow's Dads aware of this?/Willow's history with Boscha

Willow's fathers love her very much & could be quite protective of her (I headcanon that they put her in the abomination track cause she got mad & hurt herself with plant magic by accident).

How do you think they'd react to their daughter coming home crying about the mean girls that hurt her? They wouldn't be happy about it.

Don't think her dads would like Boscha very much...

On the subject of them as kids, I think the nickname "Half-a-Witch" came from Boscha (noticed how no one calls her that anymore tho?).

Now we're getting into these two as people.

Willow's only getting better

At her first appearance, Willow had no confidence, but look at her now!

She's also a lot happier with her friends and is actually well liked at school (even by Boscha's friends).

She's now even aware that she's stronger and smarter than Boscha too!

She's taking a stand for herself and others in need. Which is what I really like to see & I wanna see more of it in later seasons.

Boscha could have problems of her own

It's clear to anyone that watches this show that Boscha's not a good person.

She's egotistical, sadistic, a brat to her mother, rebellious to the point it's harmful to others, & really petty for pretty much no reason.

We know she was a mean kid (thanks to Understanding Willow), but why is this?

How she thinks she's better than others & how she thinks she needs to be feared to get her way (as will as be good at sports), I think she has both a superiority and a inferiority complex.

Now to the other people in Willow's life that clearly wanna protect her from Boscha.

The Willow Protection Squad

- Amity: Willow's childhood friend who stopped being her friend to protect from her parents. Never really liked Boscha to begin with. So she has no problems standing up for Willow against her.

- Augustus (Gus): Willow's genuine friend that cares for her so much, he's willing to stand up to kids older than him to help her out (including Boscha).

- Luz: Willow's new friend that would absolutely become a human shield for her if Willow asked (which she obviously won't do of course).

Why did I bring them into this? Because all of them wouldn't hesitate to wipe the floor with Boscha, but Willow won't let that happen because...

Willow's so nice (even to Boscha)

Willow could've ended Boscha's popularity at Hexside anytime after she became more confident in herself (& her magic skills), but she didn't.

Even at the end of WilW (after Boscha ruined her whole day), Willow showed her mercy when Boscha never thought of doing the same to her.

Maybe this'll cause a change in Boscha (a "Maybe I don't have to be worse to be better..." type of deal)?

Or Boscha could double down on her awful ways & want to get revenge on Willow?

Either way, I want these two to interact more in Season 2.

And now, something I've wanted to talk about regarding these two for awhile.

Willow and Boscha from a shipping POV

The ship between Willow & Boscha is quite popular in this Fandom & I get it!

- The want for Boscha to get a Redemption Arc (she doesn't seem as bad as Belos, it may be possible?).

- The want for Willow to be a big part in said Redemption Arc (although this would be a good idea, I don't want Boscha to dump all her problems onto Willow nor do I want Boscha to be Willow's responsibility).

My favorite fanon dynamic with these two is Boscha thinking Willow would say yes to dating her (cause of her ego), only to get rejected (Willow looks so done with Boscha's BS in the fanart, it's hilarious).

- Also Willow would kindly reject Boscha (baby girl's just too nice).

- But if Boscha is too pushy, Willow will have to hurt her a little (The Willow Way is a strong way).

- Also Willow's (clearly protective) dads should be in more Boschlow fan pieces. Just shocked & angry that Boscha's at their door, demanding to speak with Willow (I don't think it'll go well for her...).

I wouldn't be surprised if these two did become a thing in canon.

In conclusion

Do I ship Boschlow? Mixed feelings about it to be honest.

Do I get why people ship it? Yeah.

Do I think Boscha's good enough for Willow? Now, of course not!

Do I think she can be? Maybe... It all depends on what the writers want (the show has great writing as it is).

Tell me what you guys think!

Thanks for your post talking about zadr. I've shipped it for a long time but after recap kid got death threats and was bullied so bad I've been afraid to share my art. ;n;

Real talk- I don’t blame you. And it just sucks so damn bad that it has to be like that. People hiding behind “anonymous” and saying just terrible things that they would never have the balls say in real life (face to face). There is NO REASON to harass/threaten people because of something they like. It’s not hurting anyone. Also- these characters are not REAL. And if I see a ship I don’t like, I just...don’t look at it. Or if I see it....I keep scrolling.

I give nothing but admiration to those people strong enough in themselves to post their art/fics/etc and just ignore the haters and trolls. Seriously, thank you all for the great stuff. You are stronger than I.

And that’s not to say anything about people who are anti’s. I know PLENTY of wonderful people who don’t ship Zim and Dib. You can NOT LIKE ZADR (or any ship for that matter) but be a normal, civilized human being. Recapkid, or any shipper, doesn’t deserve to be bullied. Period and end of story.

I can’t change the hearts and actions of those around the web. I can’t make people accept your work as much as I wish I could. If it makes you feel any better, I have met truly wonderful people in the fandom and have personally run into very few crazies. I think things have improved since then.

As my followers told me- do what makes you comfortable. If you think you can handle the BS, post that shit and show the world your incredible stuff! They make the “block” feauture for a reason. If you don’t think you can mentally/spiritually handle the (potential) negative feedback, you and anyone else are ALWAYS welcome to message me and show your work. I know it’s not much but I hope it’s something.

I also spoke to my best bro @faithfulwhispers-art / @faithfulwhispers and she is a huge ZaDr fan and wants to help. She has kindly offered to accept your illustrations to post FOR YOU on her page (NO NSFW, please). She’s the best, I know. She turned on submissions on her main blog @faithfulwhispers . You can also check out her ZaDR art and admire her GODLY coloring too if ya want.

Thank you so much for writing that though. May things improve and feel free to write again anytime!
