I realized that Elora/Graydon gave me Kim Possible/Ron Stoppable vibes, so I made this. 

[knight-princess]

Did Graydon really ask Elora how her day had gone in the middle of everyone fighting trolls at the end of episode six or am I misremembering that

They are just the cutest cast and yes I did scream

The sports different Willow characters would be into in modern au (imo):

Jade: All around athlete, is crazy good at pretty much any sport she tries. Her favorites are soccer (football), fencing, and MMA, though she did play soft/baseball in highschool and still sometimes hits the batting cages when she’s stressed and needs a break from the sports she takes more seriously.

Kit: Passable at pretty much any sport but her favorites are soccer, fencing and kickboxing. (She did try MMA and it just didn’t click). She also enjoyed watching her school’s women’s soft/baseball team in highschool.

Boorman: He has two extremes and there is no in between. He either plays the sports that allows him to gracelessly full-body tackle people at full speed (American football, rugby, hockey, etc), or he is the most graceful person ever (dancing, especially ballet, cheerleading, gymnastics, ice dancing, etc). Might occasionally take part in boxing when he feels like it. His most consistently paying job is being a yoga instructor.

Graydon: Ultimate frisbee and mini-golf. He also enjoys the statistical side of baseball. Willing to play other sports with his friends but is quick to bow out when Kit takes it too far.

Elora: Mostly just tennis and volleyball, but will play other sports with her friends. Is often the reason Kit takes things too far, especially when they were younger.

Airk: Grew up playing on the same soccer team and taking the same fencing classes as Kit, and still enjoys them in non-competitive situations, but mostly gravitates towards basketball and swimming when he gets older. The only time he takes a sport seriously is when he’s either playing against, or on the same team as Kit.

Willow: Strangely good at shooting clay pigeons and enjoys swing/square dancing but not as much as when he was younger. He also likes to go fishing.

Scorpia: Mostly she’s into any full-contact sport though she makes an exception for soccer which is only partial-contact. She also owns a rival yoga studio to Boorman’s.

They are all on the same recreational bowling team. Elora made shirts and everything.

Airk has always been gullible...

And all his toes would like,

Elora, sweetie, you got to be less gullible than Airk or else Kit will pull this on her new sibling, you.

Day 3: TV Show (Specific Episode)

The Whispers of Nockmaar

As always, Willow the series has a lot of great episodes. In terms of storytelling, and just generally being beautiful to watch. It's a tough call but I think I would like this one for a couple of reasons. It's a great combination of exposition, callbacks to the movie, and good amounts of humor. This is also coming from someone who didn't see the movie but really appreciated the references to it.

It delves into pretty much everyone's problems and what they are secretly battling. Which is honestly a lot. I was expecting Jade's issues after the unfortunate run in with her father figure. Then tying it back to feeling inadequate for not protecting those she loved was an interesting parallel. But seeing Boorman bug out, initially thinking it might just be strange drunkenness. But he seemed to be having an acute break over a perceived theft.

I like Elora's path of learning she was born here and a little about her past. It was great to see her be so assertive but at the same time vulnerable. That and seeing cooking skills possibly come in handy with potion making, who knew right? Also learning more about Graydon. He'd been so timid and just non-reactive. It was good to see what's going through his brain but really sad at the same time. He's got so many demons and you really feel for the guy.

The most straightforward one was Kit but I thought that was the least surprising issue to find. I mean your grandmother was evil and a great evil power that was overthrown, I'd worry daily that I could become evil too. But it was still handled very well.

This video by Wit and Folly is soooo good. It explains the Alchemical symbolism within Willow in such a succinct and easy to understand way.

Definitely a much watch if youre interested in Willow symbolism and need inspiration for your fanfics/art.

The significance of it being Elora and Kit (akin to Willow and Madmartigan) about to face an evil Airk (Bavmorda) in the finale is not lost on me

[vetiverriver]

I was thinking about how Elora didn’t master divination but she did! When they were in Skellin and she heard Kit yelling at her that hadn’t happened yet. I didn’t notice on my first couple of watches until I had the subtitles on.

That’s also probably why she was spinning out in the mine. We see Willow is physically affected by his visions so it makes sense Elora would as well

middle of a battle

Kit: Is it just me, or is Jade a straight-up hottie right now?

Elora: How are you this close to being dragged to the Thirteenth Realm and still horny?

Kit: I don't know

Graydon’s death unlocking Elora’s powers after the Crone just made a speech on passion I SEE THE VISION

i love that Elora and Kit look like they're wearing jean jackets
