For me
Princess and the pupper from Helluva Boss, I'll still understand if Danny doesn't wanna watch this. I know he's kinda mixed on Octavia as a character.
Knights of Guinevere episode two- Maybe his reaction to this show was just a one-off but hopefully there will be more.
It's implied that Aika was raised by Hoshi, they might've been the one to mold Aika into a teenage crime fighter. It's almost sad to think about Aika being brought into such a stressful lifestyle at such a young age and having her future be decided for her by a floating star. Plus Aika didn't get a normal childhood, she's unfamiliar with stuff like cafeteria food, school, or having a normal after school job. I wonder how much estrangement this will cause between Aika and Hoshi down the line.
As a kid, Cadance and Celestia were my favorite MLP princesses but Luna is probably a bit more interesting because of her struggles, personality, and lore.
I like how it wasn't enough for her to just announce that she's good now, she has to prove to her subjects that she really has changed. She's a kind individual, just needs better PR.
I also love "Luna eclipsed" for showing how she's awkward, quirky, and introverted, makes it more fun to see her get used to the customs her people have.
I watched the pilot for "Wheels and Roses" earlier and I can not get over for this one character looks basically identical to Grace. Apparently their name is Kai.
Six was a fan character who pretended to be Amity in this comic, she was about to murder Luz but had second thoughts when Vee was brought up. Luz didn't actually catch Six in this comic so I wonder what would happen if canon Luz had to deal with her girlfriend's imposter. Would she know that isn't her sweet potato?
I mean their cute ideas but the idea that Mirabel has a gift that she doesn't know she has yet kinda goes against the point the movie made that she's special even without powers. There's theories some fans have like she has magic sewing powers because she likes to sew or that she can pause time itself. The theory for that one is basically that Mirabel actually froze everyone in place at the beginning of her song "Waiting on a miracle", she just didn't realize she was the one doing that and assumed it was just another ability the house has. That one is actually kinda cool but I still don't think she needs a gift.
She's been my favorite character since her debut, I love her as both a villain and antihero.
I was surprised that they gave a character like this a redemption arc at first because she was portrayed as often cruel and merciless towards the denizens. At least in the first episode in book three, I shouldn't be too surprised though because the show has always been about growth as a human being. What better way to show that than by redeeming a character who's an awful person? She had positive qualities too like her empathy, she was genuinely misguided as she wasn't taking away the right lessons from the train. I was also surprised to learn about her background but her having rich snooty parents does explain her rebellious and rambunctious personality so much more. It always made me sad that her friendship with Hazel ended the way it did but Grace needed to lose her to finally wake up and realize her mistakes.
Spring- Any of the craft fairies, the Rainspell Island craft fair takes place during the spring and it's one of my favorite storylines in the series.
Summer- Nicole, technically this book takes place in the fall but I still get summer vibes since this whole story takes place on a beach.
Fall- Autumn, the mentions of stuff like falling leaves and pumpkin bread get me in the fall mood.
Winter- Gabriella, I like how the guide book mentions that she oversees the winter Olympics.
Looking at her green and earthy design, she should've been the calm one who likes to mediate. For some reason, they gave that personality to Heather even though she always felt more like the diva type to me.
I remember this same actor also played a cop on Golden Girls and was a love interest for Dorothy, I like his banter and chemistry with Thelma a lot more honestly. Mr. Hanson being this dorky but firm night school teacher was pretty endearing.
I loved how Bill's trauma comes back for a Halloween special, a lot of the jokes with him were pretty entertaining. The surprise guest appearance of Stephen King was pretty fun, especially since Alice mentioned earlier that she wanted to go to a book signing that turned out to be his.
The other episode in this bunch is even crazier, I knew the whole time that there wasn't really a scarecrow axe murderer trying to kill Cricket and Tilly but I could still see this being scary for a kid watching. I assumed Bill was just dressing up as the scarecrow to teach the kids a lesson, I was sorta right. The fact that it looked like Bill took an axe to the head was pretty dark too, I got Marcy Wu flashbacks with that one.
The episodes where Rapunzel and co are trapped in a mysterious figure's home for three days was interesting. Though I can't believe they were willing to stay in this house for as long as they did instead of just taking their chances in the rain. Yeah, there was a bad storm going on but anything would've been better than continuing to hang out in an unpredictable and maddening place like this guy's. Maybe they should've done what Ruthless Ruth did and create a black void around the house so nobody can leave.
It's clear that her trauma of being a social outcast affected her friendships. She throws people under the bus when she thinks they might be untrustworthy, even when she's completely wrong about them. She kicked Luz out of the detention track when she thought she was making fun of the group behind their backs, that's understandable because she didn't know Luz well yet so she could've been disingenuous. But she would later do this to Jerbo who's one of her best friends. She sees him on the opposing flyer derby team and calls him a traitor. Even going as far as to say that they're not friends anymore. But Jerbo didn't actually betray her, he's just in the abomination track now and has to do whatever his professor asks him to. Wish this got explored with Viney a bit more.
This is Marmahn from Forgotten Island btw.
They both got moments to shine in this story, Julie shares her trauma of nearly drowning at sea as a kid. Honestly though, I think Stella has my preferred backstory even if it's not as traumatic. Basically, she was on a snowboarding team with her best friend Tabby but Stella quit on the spot when she realized her friend only cared about winning. It's cliche but it does reaffirm what's already been stated about Stella. That she used to be super popular at her old school due to how athletic and talented she is, winning the gold frequently.
It's just a fun little AU I've got cooking up, Vaggie never falls and Charlie ends in falling in love with Angel Dust's rival in the porn industry Tiffany instead. It's a long story but that's basically the other character I ship Charlie with.
The interesting idea I had for the AU is that Lute in this version actually cares about Vaggie a bit more than she did in canon so she's willing to look past Vaggie sparing one sinner as long as she never does something like that again. Vaggie's not evil, just protective and loyal to Heaven. Though she'll still be pretty antagonistic, Adam and Lute have enlisted her help in ensuring that the hotel isn't a threat to the exterminations.
Speaking of which, even though Charlie still comes up with the idea for the hotel in this fic....I still wanna empathize how hard it is to manage this place without Vaggie around to help.
This was a point from Danny in an older video about how he found it repetitive than another character from the hellaverse didn't seem to care for Charlie that much. I think this makes tons of sense for Blitz.
Blitz has always been vocal about hating royalty, he's an imp so he's constantly pushed around and belittled by everyone else above him in Hell's hierarchy. Even by other imps sometimes, he resents the bluebloods of the world for not doing anything to help the little guys. Charlie is a high ranking hellborn who doesn't do anything to help other less fortune creatures like Blitz so why would he respect her?
This was a pretty wild episode and that's saying something when you remember what show this is. Here's my review!
The title "Green with N.V." made me guess that the episode would be about something making people irrationally jealous of each other, it's actually about an evil woman named Natalie Valentine creating a powerful cologne that makes men leave their wives and girlfriends for her. That's pretty funny.
They have this fragrance commerical for the product which was an accurate depiction of those types of commercials because it was kinda horny. There's also the fact that Natalie uses her sweat as a key ingredient for the potion. Sam, Alex, and Clover use their own sweat as a counter potion which was already a bit odd but what's weirder was that this stuff doesn't reverse the effects. It just makes the men into the spies instead, Clover even calls one her groupie which is wild.
The side plot of Sam, Alex, and Clover crushing on the school ca'fe boy but making a pact where none of them can ask him out was alright. But it was kinda funny how they all go against each other's backs to call him at different points in the episode.
I love the show but Danny did bring up an interesting point that they really overdo the concept of somebody visiting Corona only for it to be revealed that they had ulterior motives. Cassandra's chill boyfriend? He actually wanted to steal the ancient book used for an annual Corona tradition. The new horse brought into the royal stables? He's actually the pet horse of the kingdom's new worst criminal. Even when they travel to other cities, they meet at least one person or thing that wants to kill them.
Now I almost understand what Mother Gothel meant by everyone in the outside world are selfish opportunists. I know the show's just teaching a lesson about how you can't blindly trust people like Rapunzel does but even the people who are genuinely nice to Rapunzel have taken advantage of her. Her dad lied to her, Cassandra betrayed her, her mom didn't do more to stop her husband from locking their daughter away which is a source of trauma for her. It's almost as if Rapunzel doesn't have another genuinely good person in her life (Who have always been good so no thieves or other convicts.) other than Pascal and Maximus who are both animals.
