#What happened to Slickwell?

[sr-stories]

I love how Greylock made a random appearance in 'Day of the Sorcerers' only for him to never be seen or heard from again.

'Day of the Sorcerers' stuff (long post)

Ok, so I've been considering making individual posts for all of these, but I think I'll simply cover it all here.

@naoisbroke made a post about what a missed opportunity it was to make 'Day of the Sorcerers' a multi-part episode, given how rushed it was for such a HUGELY IMPORTANT episode.

I reblogged their post with some of the things the episode could have touched on in a two-part or three-part episode, but I wanted to make it a separate post too with additional ideas:

We didn't even see the rest of the Order get stopped or what happened to them (Magnus had been quick to fire Slickwell after his treachery in 'Baileywhoops', so it's safe to say he did the same to Greylock for what was obviously something even worse, assuming he didn't have him banished or locked up)! Craig Gerber confirmed on his Twitter shortly after the episode aired that they were stopped, but c'mon, it's called showing- not telling!

Sofia could have told Cedric (and the rest of her family) that Merlin and a bunch of the good sorcerers from the Conjurers' Conference headed off to their respective kingdoms to stop the rest of the Order (which we at least saw them leaving to do, but it was never even brought up again).

It would have been so awesome for Cedric and Sofia to join the other good wizards in going after the rest of the Order of the Wand and help stop them (as another one of Cedric's first acts of truly being good and taking responsibility). Maybe at the end of the episode when James asks Cedric for a magic show and Cedric happily agrees, Cedric would have instead said "I'm afraid I'll have to take a raincheck, my prince. I must join the other sorcerers in stopping the rest of the Order of the Wand!" Sofia could have said "I'm coming with you!" and he and the family (especially her family, who- unlike Cedric- rarely saw how capable and strong she is on adventures through the show) would have protested that it was much too dangerous, but she would insisted that they were doing this together, then Cedric would have proudly said "Then come along, my fine apprentice!" which would have ended Part 1, leading led to Part 2.

Sofia could have actually told Cedric she learned from Merlin there was a way to reverse the effects of the Medusa Stones after all (despite Grimtrix emphasizing the spell was totally unbreakable, which I think he deliberately lied about). I hc he asked her off-screen how she found out removing the stone from the wand and dropping it breaks the spell, but it would have been nice to see.

It would have been neat to have Cedric and Greylock speak to each other or, at the very least, acknowledge each other at the Order of the Wand meeting (like Cedric did with Morgana when he was shocked to see her there), especially after they sort of became friends by the end of 'Baileywhoops'!

It would have made more sense if it better explained Greylock's motivation to betray his king, maybe even as part of a big confrontation/battle between him and Cedric during a scene where Cedric and Sofia try to help stop the Order.

I'm glad Cedric was at least shocked to see Morgana at the Order of the Wand meeting, tho it would have been nice if he'd demanded to know how she got out of Merlin's mirror! And why didn't she acknowledge him at all? Surely she was feeling vengeful toward him after he helped Merlin defeat her during their last encounter (in season 3's 'Gone With the Wand')!

Speaking of Morgana... like I discussed in another post of mine (about how Grimtrix was blatantly manipulating Cedric in 'Day of the Sorcerers') how Cedric and Sofia teamed up to defeat Grimtrix in season 3's 'Hexley Hall', it would have been interesting to have Morgana doubt that Cedric could be trusted to be on their side, knowing for herself- like Grimtrix- how close he is with Sofia and similarly having experienced defeat because of them both (plus, she would have likely used the fact that Cedric had helped Merlin defeat her as further proof he's too much of a goody-goody to be trusted). I can see Grimtrix assuring Morgana he had Cedric wrapped around his finger (again, see that post of mine for more details), and that they'd only freeze him with the Medusa spell if necessary.

It would have been good to actually find out what would have happened to Grimtrix; the guards seized him in the actual episode, but it could have been announced that he would no longer be the headmaster of Hexley Hall. (Ooooh, and maybe near the very end of the multi-part episode, Cedric could have told Sofia he was contacted and offered the job as recognition for his part in stopping the Order, but that he declined and told them his place is serving the royal family and kingdom of Enchancia).

In the end, Cedric could have earnestly told Sofia how much her friendship, kindness, and support always meant to him, how it changed him for the better, and they finally could have shared a mutual hug (because Cedric did neither of those things in season 4, and it really bothers me).

Maybe the end of the multi-parter could have included strong hints of Wormwood being VERY disgusted with Cedric's new goody-goody ways, and hints of their friendship really turning sour.

Watched Baileywhoops. I love this episode!

Sofia is so cute in her junior steward dress!

Greylock makes his appearance in here. I must admit that I never got into everyone's favorite joker. Maybe I would have if he had shown up more. But the next time we see him, he's a villain.

Despite that, I do like Greylock. His buzzer was hilarious. He's just a clown.

"Is everyone all right?" "And willing to swear to secrecy about what just happened?" LOL! And they just abandoned the kids in the air to save the boat.

The cursed pin was an awesome concept.

I love how the Royal Family is so good to Baileywick. It shows they love him.

But, sadly, poor Cedric was almost ignored after helping to save the boat. Glad Greylock included him.

I love Clover snickering after putting the pin on Slickwell. LOL!

I don't feel that Slickwell is a villain. He just didn't like working for Fat Derriere Magnus. And he made a bad choice.

2nd place because it's so awesome!

I made a post wondering the same thing.

And because this also drives me nuts (and also the fact that neither of them acknowledged each other in 'Day of the Sorcerers', especially since Cedric gained Greylock's respect and friendship in 'Baileywhoops'), here's my hc from chapter 4 of my story 'The Master Wand':

It's sad, but King Magnus doesn't seem like the forgiving type. I hc Greylock got imprisoned or banished from Rudistan after the rest of the Order was stopped (heck, maybe he sought out his old colleague Slickwell).

I can see Cedric feeling a little sorry for his old classmate and rival if/when he heard what happened to him, but ultimately distanced himself from Greylock because he was determined not to be associated with anything from his toxic old life and past mistakes (which is why he was glad Wormwood was no longer part of his life after finally getting over the pain of his betrayal; at least, that's my hc).

Competitive, are we?

Does anyone have a theory on what happened to Slickwell. He just disappeared even though he said he was coming back.

[supercharged-nostalgia-blog]

WhAT. No. Sofia can't end!!!! Cedric is JUST getting better at proving himself!!!!! We still don't know what happened to Greylock, and Slickwell!!! All of Sofia's new villain-turned-friends haven't backed her up in a big fight against Prisma the Pric-*cedric slaps my head* Argh... TOO. MUCH. TO. TAKE. IN!!!!! Cedric hasn't met Elena personally or Mateo!!!!! Goshdarnit Craig!!! The synopsis better be Frickn EPIC AND EVERY QUESTION ANSWERED!!! Ghost-Eyes

Hehehe, i know, it's a lot to take in. But keep in mind that Disney shows usually never go past season 4; and as for characters like Greylock and Slickwell, it's gotten to the point where I'm comfortable with simply theorizing what will become of them. @cedricthedork made a really beautiful theory post about why Greylock wanted Magnus's crown, and why Slicky wanted Baileywick's job. But Craig did say there will be a 60 minute special and Cedric will play a huge part in it!! Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens from here on out ;)

[captain-amadeus]

I am so mad Slickwell tries fucking up Baileywick's career, fails boo hoo, and then never comes back. He said he would be back but he never comes back what happened

[shychick-52]

RIGHT, YA'LL GET IT. THIS EPISODE WAS TOO AMAZING TO BE SO RUSHED. Cedric's redemption is a HUGE deal, and almost feels like the most important thing to happen in the series, so it really was a disservice to what an amazingly complex, tragic character he is- and his gradual development throughout the series- to have it so rushed!

We didn't even see the rest of the Order get stopped or what happened to them (Magnus had been quick to fire Slickwell after his treachery, so it's safe to say he did the same to Greylock for what was something even worse, assuming he didn't have him banished or locked up)! Craig Gerber confirmed on his Twitter shortly after the episode aired that they were stopped, but it's called showing- not telling!

And Sofia didn't get the chance to tell Cedric how she learned there was a way to reverse the effects of the Medusa Stones after all (despite Grimtrix emphasizing the spell was totally unbreakable, which I think he deliberately lied about), tho I definitely hc he asked her about that.

And it would have been neat to have Cedric and Greylock speak to each other or, at the very least, acknowledge each other (like Cedric did with Morgana), especially after they sort of became friends by the end of 'Baileywhoops'!

I'm glad he at least was shocked to see Morgana there, tho it would have been nice if he'd demanded to know how she got out of Merlin's mirror! And why didn't she acknowledge him at all? Surely she was feeling vengeful toward him after helping Merlin defeat her last time (in season 3's 'Gone With the Wand').

Speaking of Morgana... like I discussed in another post of mine (about how Grimtrix was blatantly manipulating Cedric in 'Day of the Sorcerers') how Cedric and Sofia teamed up to defeat Grimtrix last time in season 3's 'Hexley Hall', it would have been interesting to have Morgana doubt that Cedric could be trusted to be on their side, knowing for herself- like Grimtrix- how close he is with Sofia and similarly experiencing defeat because of them both (plus, she likely used the fact that Cedric had helped Merlin defeat her as further proof he's too much of a goody-goody to be trusted). I can see Grimtrix assuring Morgana he had Cedric wrapped around his finger (again, see that post of mine for more details), and that they'd only freeze him with the Medusa spell if necessary.

And right, Morgana isn't a royal sorcerer, so that seemed weird!!!

I just finished “Day of the Sorcerers”, and while it was good, I feel like it would’ve done better as a multi-parter.

As always, I am aware that this is a show made for toddlers and I take it way too seriously all of the time, but there are other arcs that take multiple episodes to get through. I would’ve loved to see Cedric’s character arc have more build up and a longer resolution. He kinda just went from bad to good in a matter of minutes, and for a character that has been “evil” the entire show, it felt very rushed.

[mushroomsie224]

Oh, okay! Good luck with figuring that out. But it's not obvious he's flirting anyways so yeah (in fact, I don't think one could tell at all? especially since Cedric is pissed off—they're not in a relationship here)

Also about the notifications! Yeah so this one didn't send a notification since I didn't reblog this from you, so that's expected. But as for my sideblog...yeah I don't know what's up with that either, my reblogs on that blog never show up in people's notifications or notes. Tumblr hates me :) (or maybe it does think my reblogs are too tasty?)

Anyways.

Part 3 of me yapping because I'm committed. THIS WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE A TWO-PARTER YOU KNOW, TUMBLR JUST HAS A STUPID TEN-PICTURE LIMIT!

Sigh...this could have been a tag thing.

"No particular reason" you sure about that bro?

Anyways uh that's just Random Person I Made Up. Thought it would be fun for Cedric to have a crush on a girl in Hexley Hall and Greylock is just a jealous mess. Why not.

(She rejects him by the way.)

He's crying because he is a loser (/affectionate). Actually yeah it's cuz of the test. And her, somewhat.

Glasses Greylock is mainly because it's cute, yeah. I think he might just have bad vision in his right eye, the other one not really warranting correction. As for why he has a monocle now: because he thinks it's cool. Probably.

(I have a sketch in my sketchbook of him getting a monocle and showing Cedric, and Cedric being like idgaf bro)

He totally got bullied and buried the memories for the most part. School sucks man.

I feel like he was just fine in school when it came to studying? Just bad at the parts where he's asked to perform spells because he gets nervous and messes up, and that got him bad grades.

I'm glad you like the hair in this one :3 this is him after he got banished (I have several different ideas for what happened to him after Day of the Sorcerers, including banishment, execution, also the latest getting-frozen-and-displayed one that I mentioned). There isn't a specific reason for why he's sad here, it could be him regretting his life choices, it could be Cedric rejecting him again. On Slickwell, though, I do like to think he does have a nice long catch-up with Slickwell whenever they meet after Slickwell got fired, however.

Projecting onto Greylock—relatable. What's the point of having a blorbo you can't project on.

Also, 4am? Dude?

WAIT. THAT'S SUCH A COOL AU IDEA ACTUALLY??? CEDRIC TRAPPING HIS SISTER (or anyone really—like maybe Sofia?) IN THE AMULET BUT THEN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO UNLOCK IT!

Also I do wonder why the white on his bangs increased as he got older. Maybe it's just because of stress, yeah. Maybe the potion's effects just get worse with time.

Anyways yeah you're welcome for the sad shit at the end. Now imagine Cedric finally returning Greylock's feelings but then he dies before they can share a kiss.

Sofia the First WIPs and Sketches. Some of these are kinda old.
