Greenwich, London

I find it fitting that my last trip of the year was to the Prime Meridian at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. It's a nice end to a year of travel. We also visited the Cutty Sark, Greenwich Pier, took a boat on the Thames to Embankment, where the London Eye is, and Covent Garden for their annual Christmas display.

POV: You're looking at a little hater

Selph stands proud at 5 foot 2 inches, something unexpected given Selph's intimidating reputation. This does nothing to stop them from being the biggest hater in the Shadowfell.

A little doodle of Selph made the other day. I've been in a bit of a funk lately, but I think I'm back on track.

(As an aside, I think censoring profane language/gestures makes it funnier.)

From the Earth to the middle of the nearside – its closest point and thus, because its mappers are of an Earthly bent, home to its prime meridian – is a distance about 60 times the radius of the Earth.

Twain And The International Date Line

On October 1, 1884, forty-one delegates from 25 nations assembled at the Diplomatic Hall in Washington D.C at the invitation of the US President, Chester Arthur, their mission to establish the Prime Meridian. As it travels around the Sun the Earth rotates on its axis in a counterclockwise direction (from west to east), meaning that different parts of the globe receive the Sun’s direct rays at…

The only map that makes sense is to put the prime meridian in the centre. Then you get to cut the outside edges down the middle of the Pacific and (except for a few small overhanging bits) you're not butchering any countries in ways that make it hard to work out what's going on!

(The UK and Western Europe are then just lucky that, by chance, it happens to be on the opposite side to the huge expanse of water)

I don't know what we'd do for the best if there wasn't such a convenient ocean!

The equator and the prime meridian are two significant lines of latitude and longitude that intersect the Earth, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, respectively. Countries that lie on the equator experience a tropical climate and have unique flora and fauna. These countries often face challenges such as high temperatures, humidity, and rainfall, but they also boast rich biodiversity and natural resources.

1884. The Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England. The Greenwich (Prime) Meridian passes through its centre, at a longitude of 0 degrees, which is the basis for calculating the time zones.

Is “Prime Meridian Love” Forshadowing for “Battle of the Big Wand”?

With the most recent episodes of “Fairly OddParents: A New Wish” airing, everyone, myself included, is buzzing over what’s going to happen in the big season finale, what exactly is going to happen, and what’s the future state of Hazel and Dev’s friendship? There are many theories going around, but I want to pitch my own!

“Prime Meridian Love: Romance Cruise Ultra” is foreshadowing towards Hazel and Dev’s conflict and plot. Obviously, the show has drawn us a parallel here before, Duckworth looks like Dev. But rewatching the episode “Prime Meridian Love”, along with the context from new episodes and the description for the finale has me thinking that we may already know what’s to come.

Read the rest under the cut ! This post includes the episode description for “Battle for the Big Wand”, so if you want to go into that episode blind, don’t read further !

Starting with the most basic- Duckworth and Kennueth are stand-ins for Dev and Hazel. Duckworth is literally designed to look like Dev, and while less obvious, Kennueth seems to share a basic colour palette with Hazel, his skin and amulet being the colours of her shirt. There’s also the fact that Duckworth and Kennueth are described as “rivals”, and Hazel calls Dev her own rival.

This is where the backstory / history between Duckworth and Kennueth becomes relevant. The amulets are the one thing they share, and what’s something magical that Hazel and Dev have in common? Fairies!

The story goes that Kennueth and Duckworth were once friends, their friendship cemented by what bound them together. But Duckworth became jealous of Kennueth once he got promoted to captain. Sounds familiar? Hazel and Dev became friends, and shared the secret of having fairy godparents. They fell out over Dev’s jealously of Hazel, and that his dad seemed to care more about her, even if in an unconventional way.

Duckworth retalliates by stealing the magical pearl from the ancient sea temple, hoping for the power to overthrow Kennueth. Which brings me to my theory about the series finale, “Battle of the Big Wand”. Teaming up with Irep, I think Dev’s jealousy of Hazel having his father’s attention, as well as having two fairies while he only has one, will motivate him to steal the titular “Big Wand” during the takeover of Fairy World, hoping that it can grant him unlimited power, in his fleeting pursuit of satisfaction.

While the story of “Prime Meridian Love: Romance Cruise Ultra” goes on to say that this event cements their rivalry, the episode has Hazel and Kennueth stop Dev, and Hazel encourages Kennueth to re-write the story, and make things right with him, which he does !

I think the finale will follow one of these two beats. Hazel, Cosmo, Wanda, possibly Jorgen and Peri, and maybe even the citizens of Fairy World will all help to stop Dev and Irep, and we’ll either see Hazel and Dev’s bond cemented as a rivalry, or we will see Hazel reflect on the situation, and write her own story, and actually TALK to Dev about what has been going on. Personally, I would much prefer the latter. Dev is still a kid, and he’s a product of his environment. He deserves a chance to change and grow, and have good people by his side who actually care about him, to help him do so.

The only thing that I’m still unsure about is how Hazel’s rule free wish will tie into this all, but I do think she will use it like many of her other wishes, and do so selflessly.

What do you all think of this theory? I’m so excited (and nervous) for the big finale next week !!

is it just me or does dev x hazel give the same vibes as luz x amity ?

Obviously they’re not the exact same but I swear they have the same parallels!!! I swear I’m not crazy (I am)

Amity and Dev are both from high society or rich/ well known families while Luz and Hazel aren’t

Amity’s Mom who’s a business women doesn’t really love Amity, just like how Dale who’s a business man, doesn’t really love Dev

Amity and Dev don’t really have any friends or true friends before meeting the main character (Luz and Hazel)

Lumity and Devzel are both enemies to friends/lovers (except with Devzel it’s unfortunately back to enemies)

Luz and Hazel are both apart of a trio with their friends(Luz - Her, Willow, and Gus. Hazel- her, Jasmine, and Winn)

Hazel and Luz honestly give off the same vibes and energy! They’re just so silly :3

All 4 have dealt with magic in some way (Luz and Amity - witches and glyphs. Dev and Hazel - fairies)

Lumity have the Good Witch Azura books/manga while Devzel has the Prime Meridian manga :3

Again maybe I’m tweaking (I am) but they’re both just so silly and I love them :D I hope you had fun reading this !! I really need to rewatch the owl house 😭😭
