Platonic

Rufina carried a box, then perked up noticing familiar hair. Jae rubbed the back of their head, looking down at her. She turned on her heel, going the other way having decided to avoid them so her family's habit didn't take too much control over her. "Rufi, I do like you." She froze at their words, her eyes widening in shock. She looked at them startled, Jae scratching their cheek, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I don't have time for your jokes, Jae"Rufina scolds turning away. She set the box down by the trash and walked off only for a hand to grab her wrist.

"I'm not joking"Jae sighs turning her to face them. They sighed, working their mouth to find the right words. "I'm not into romantic relationships, but I want to be with you"Jae finally says. She blinked up at them, her mouth slightly opened. "So, can we have a platonic romantic relationship..."Jae asks staring down at her. She watched their expression, feeling their grip on her wrist tighten slightly. A sigh came from her followed by a small smile as she stared up at them. "Alright"Rufina smiled nodding. Jae smiled, their hand releasing her wrist. "Good, I wasn't planning letting you go till you said yes"Jae smiled nodding to her.

"Jae! Rufi!" Both turned at the others voices, then smiled at the other. "Should we tell the others?"Rufina asks getting a nod from Jae. The two jogged away, finding Max and the rest waiting for them. "Hey you two"Mischa greets waving to the two. "What's with the giddy smiles?"Jessa asks curiously. "We're together"Jae responds smiling down at Rufina. "Didn't you sa-"Brax begins. "It's a platonic romantic relationship, we're together but still friends"Jae explains lifting their hands. "Carry me!"Rufina orders hopping up onto their back. Jae wrapped his arms around her legs, looking amused. "Well, good for you both"Terra nods smiling. "Now let's go"Jessa grinned. "Alright!"

GUYS

episode four of supernatural academy, when Brax and Jae are in Faerie - when Brax is slumped against a tree you see some black floaty stuff approaching him

IT'S THE SHADOW SPAWN

I've figured it out!!! that must be when he got possessed!!!

poor Brax :(

the time stamp is like 11:50 (a bit before and a bit afterwards but yeah) on netflix

I'm going to pretend that it laid dormant in him until right at the end, otherwise it's too sad cause like more than half of the show so far wouldn't even be him really cause he would be possessed

Prophecies

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I was dying for more urban fantasy after binging Wolf Like Me from Peacock. Looks like someone heard me because there's more content. And it’s… something.

Chances are, you haven’t heard of this show. I hadn’t before I started watching this. There’s only what look like press releases posted online and the most detailed article only has the barest minimum research behind it that doesn’t even line up (more on that later). Peacock is terrible at marketing its new shows so here I am doing their job for them. You’re welcome, streaming company that somehow lost a billion dollars (???).

Supernatural Academy (2022- )

I liked the animation style of Supernatural Academy enough to give it a try and here we are. And it does deliver - there’s so much potential for fantasy in animation and it takes full use of the medium.

Supernatural Academy takes place mostly at an academy of supernatural creatures. Jessa and Mischa are wolf shifters and dragon marked twins - in a world where dragon marked are sent away to live in cloisters because a prophecy foretells they will lead to the rise of the wicked dragon king. Their parents hid away their dragon marks, but now their secret threatens to be exposed.

It’s full of your classic YA fantasy tropes - chosen ones, a strict headmaster that may or may not be evil, chosen ones, a supernatural world hidden from the human world - where smartphones don't work conveniently enough, prophecies, students sneaking away to do dangerous things that can get them killed, evil king (dragon, this time) that wants to destroy the world. But just because it has a lot of tropes doesn’t make it bad. The 20-ish-minute episodes are gripping enough to binge and there are 16 episodes of this.

There are even unexpected twists and the show goes much darker than you’d think. Stakes are high - death is not unavoidable, which, by the way, most media of this kind stays away from and come off feeling too safe.

It’s also refreshingly modern and inclusive. You wouldn’t think inclusive fantasy is that big of a deal but when supporting the biggest fantasy franchise geared children and teens becomes iffy because of the creator, you want better things to, if not take its place, exist alongside it. The two lead sisters and Latinas, their friend group (“pack”) is racially diverse, and has a nonbinary fae who is in fact voiced by Ali Eisner who are non-binary themselves. And all of these are all fully-formed characters and accepted for who they are. There are even characters of different sexual orientations who are not just queer-coded.

Now, on to the bizarre things I found while digging into where this show comes from that have nothing to do with the rec but is still something I couldn’t keep to myself.

The show says it’s based on books by Jaymin Eve and I was willing to check it out, even if it was for a younger audience. But it turns out, Supernatural Academy is a rare case of an adaptation that is somehow original by improving upon the original? I did some digging and it’s not what Polygon claims it is - “a tween cartoon from a steamy romance series”. Granted, it does share the name with Jaymin Eve’s book series that describes itself as “sexy urban fantasy book series” on her site. BUT it doesn’t have much else from it except for maybe the setting. The show is much closer to Eve’s other series, Supernatural Prison (I can see why they might have changed the name) whose first title is Dragon Marked. Why could they not just name the show that? But Jessa’s pack in the books is made up of four guys with a reverse harem-ish situation going on in the words of one reviewer - Braxton (dragon shifter), Maximus (vampire), Jacob (fey) and Tyson (wizard). In the show? Braxton and Max are still there, but Jacob is Jae and Tyson is Tessa, a witch. I like Jae and Tessa as they are in the show and I couldn’t imagine them otherwise, it’s definitely a good change. And that’s just what I found without having read the books.

With that said, I’m definitely into this show. I’d watch more of it. If only they made these longer episodes instead of forcing the showrunners to make them shorter to fit more ads. It’s not cable!

Until next time,

The animated series adaptation of “The Supernatural Academy” books by Jaymin Eve has been ordered at Peacock, Variety has learned exclusively.

Variety originally reported the series was in the works from 41 Entertainment back in October 2019. The half-hour series will debut on Peacock on Jan. 20, 2022. The first season will consist of 16 episodes.

Like the books, the show chronicles an otherworldly adventure of sisters marked at birth. One twin sister was raised in the Supernatural world, confident and popular. The other was raised in the human world, an offbeat outsider. Now they’re about to be reunited at the Supernatural Academy, and neither one of them is thrilled about it. These adversarial twins will have to learn to get over their differences and trust each other in order to save themselves and save the world.

“It is so incredible to see my original story come to life in this high-quality animation project,” said Eve. “I am so grateful to both Peacock and 41 Entertainment for believing in me and I am sure that all of the fans of the books are anxiously marking January 20th on their diaries.”

Gillian Horvath serves as writer on the adaptation, having developed it for the screen. Allen Bohbot serves as executive producer, with Steve Ball serving as series director. Jody Prouse is the animation director. 41 Entertainment produces with ICON Creative Studio providing animation services. John Majkut composed the original theme songs.

The full voice cast of the show is as follows:

LARISSA DIAS (Supernatural, Falling Skies, Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart) as “Jessa Lebron.” Jessa is a popular Wolf Shifter in her junior year at the Supernatural Academy. She has everything a girl could ever ask for including a supportive father and four best friends with their own unique supernatural skills.

GIGI SAUL GUERRERO (Marvel Super Hero Adventures, Into the Dark: Culture Shock, Super Monsters, Nina’s World) as “Mischa Jackson/Lebron.” Raised by a single mom with a tendency to move from place to place, Mischa has never fit in anywhere. The timid, creative and sweet natured girl transforms after realizing her mother has hidden who she truly is for sixteen years.

VINCENT TONG (Ninjago, Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild, The Dragon Prince) as “Maximus.” Max is a natural leader as proven through his watchful eye on his younger brother Braxton.

CARDI WONG (Are you Afraid of the Dark?, Supergirl) as “Braxton.” Brax is the lovable, goofy and smooth talker of the group.

SHANNON CHAN-KENT (You, Woke, Good Trouble, Life Sentence) as “Elda Kristov.” Elda is the daughter of the Headmaster of the Supernatural Academy and sees Jessa as her main rival for Queen Bee status.

BETHANY BROWN (Charmed, The 100) as “Terra.” Terra is Jessa’s lifelong bestie. Terra’s unique power of sorcery perfectly rounds out the group’s supernatural abilities.

BRIAN DRUMMOND (Mega Man: Fully Charged, The Willoughbys) as “Headmaster Kristov.” Kristov proves himself to be manipulative, villainy, and self-righteous as he plots against the Lebron twins from the moment they are reunited.

BARBARA KOTTMEIER (Supernatural, Motive, Falling for Vermont) as “Lienda Jackson/Lebron.” Lienda is the true definition of a Mother. She is a strong woman who has sacrificed her supernatural ability and a life with one of her twin daughters, solely to protect her family.

ALESSANDRO JULIANI (Battlestar Galactica, The Magicians, Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce, The 100) as “Jonathon Lebron.” As head of the World Council and the Alpha Wolf of the Lebron pack, Jonathon not only has a civic duty but a paternal instinct to save the realms and his daughters.

ALI J EISNER (Fraggle Rock, Gisele’s Big Backyard) as “Jae.” A Faerie whose music has the literal charm to soothe savage beasts and create new life.

DIANA KAARINA (The Hollow, Barbie, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake) as “Santra.” As the new history teacher at Supernatural Academy, Santra is the intelligent, compassionate, and confident guide that students can rely on.

KATHLEEN BARR (Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Johnny Test) as “Yufon.” Yufon is a powerful and stern member of the World Council.
