— PLEASE, DATE MY BROTHER : twisted wonderland

[synopsis] ortho decides to do something about idia's crush on you, taking the role of matchmaker

[extra] ortho reminds me of a minecraft torch. apparently, there’s one called soul torch that's blue? i haven’t played in a while. ALSO, I STILL HAVEN’T FINISHED BOOK 6 HELP ME I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE

-`♡´- What do you mean Idia's social anxiety, awkwardness, and his extensive knowledge of internet slang haven't captivated you yet?Come on, give Idia a chance, please.

-`♡´- Maybe it's the fact he's a robot and he can catch onto things faster than regular humans, but there can be no way you haven't connected the dots yet. Idia invites you to play video games and watch some new anime episodes in his room after classes. He's always talking about you, his hair turning slightly pink when you compliment him for anything he did, and he pays attention to every single word that comes out of your mouth. How hasn't anyone but Ortho noticed that Idia clearly likes you? He's starting to wonder if humans can be that dense or if it’s just you (not to be mean). Ortho isn't taking any of it. If his brother won't do anything to get closer to you romantically, he may as well do it himself in his stead.

-`♡´- Something about Ortho is that he's stubborn. When he decides to do something, he's motivated to do anything to achieve it. The Shroud brothers care deeply about each other; they would do anything for the other to be happy, which means Ortho won't give up. The idea of having you as part of the family makes it worth it. He can already imagine the future you and his brother could have together. Can he be something like a flower girl at your wedding? He hopes he can. But for now, he will have to focus on making you like his brother back first.

-`♡´- His first method is simple. It’s better to start with something small; that’s what his intensive research said. He starts mentioning Idia in every conversation where you're involved: talking about what he did the other day, about something funny he did, complimenting him, and flaunting all of Idia's new works. Ortho can finally use one of the 1,000 random features Idia implemented (Idia himself gets surprised when Ortho uses one because he had forgotten they were even there).

"Oh this? Big brother implemented this cool feature yesterday. My hair can now turn different colors and play music at the same time. Look, it´s like a disco ball!" And then his hair starts switching colors and playing music from Idia’s very specific music taste. He looks like that one disco tree in the Lorax movie.

This method was working, but then something happened. More specifically, Ace and Grim happened. They both got tired of this happening for a week non-stop and told him to talk about something else that wasn't his brother, which didn’t make Ortho very happy. They both went back and forth over the topic, with Ortho defending Idia and Ace getting annoyed over it. It only stopped when Crewel scolded them for talking in class.

-`♡´- Since the first one didn’t work, he had to change plans. The second method was to drag you to Ignihyde to play some games with him in his room. And surprise, Idia is there. Wow, who would have thought? He didn't invite him; he was just there. He CLEARLY didn’t know he would be there. Then final exams season started, and you had to stop coming by so you could study. Also, Idia was starting to get suspicious over what his little brother was up to and how you were always there when he got out of his room.

-`♡´- His last resort was to make the both of you have a date. A date that you both didn’t know was supposed to be a date. Asking you both to hang out with the excuse of wanting to see this new movie that came out, only for him to leave the second the two of you aren’t watching him. He’s so proud of himself too, ignoring your calls as you try to ask him where he is. He leaves you both to have quality time and talk about whatever you guys want.

-`♡´- Now that he has tried all he could do and everything that popped up in his mind, Ortho will ask you to meet him somewhere, where he will ask you how you feel about Idia. He says he will keep it a secret, and he will, but please tell him already; he’s dying to know.

If you do like Idia back, Ortho will cheer and congratulate himself silently for doing such a good job. He’s so happy all his efforts worked, and you and his brother can finally be together! He will even throw confetti (another random feature Idia doesn’t remember implementing) and rub his victory in the face of all the first years, especially Ace and Grim.

Now, if you don't like Idia back, Ortho will short-circuit. It's even worse if you already like someone else, because that makes it harder for him to change your mind. It's not like he will resent you if you don't like his older brother; you’re still his best friend and he's happy for you, but he will mourn for at least a year the fact you could have been part of his family. At the end, he understands you can't force love and that you have the right to be with whoever you want to be, so he will drop it.

Maybe the real ‘you dating Idia’ was the friends he made along the way? Or at least that's what Ortho is going to tell himself while trying to figure out how to make Idia’s heartbreak not hurt that much. Curiosity did kill the cat, huh?

EPISODE REVIEW!!! 👏

Moon's reaction is exactly what I thought it would be 🤣 to be fair. I think that would be anyone's reaction to a skeletal deer animatronic. I'm glad Dazzle took New Moon's heel-turn(Did I use that term, right?) well. I also love how Moon is so fascinated by Dazzle and her construction. I love it so much reminds me of the old days of tsams, but in more worrisome news, Moon is trying to figure out where Dazz came from and knowing what we know... 😬 Uh oh. Don't tell Sun if you find out Moon. Also, Moon's face in the thumbnail reminds me of that scene in The lorax where he says, "That's a woman?" His face just reminds me of that scene 🤣

Inhales.. Just like the old days. 👍 😁

And last but not least...

I really do like how Puppet is just psycho-analyzing Eclipse and how Eclipse keeps trying to act like "I don't care about anything" when that is just a BIG fat lie!

I like what they've done with Eclipse's character. He can say he doesn't care all he wants, but deep deep down, he does care.

Also... I just realized in the future that Puppet saw what if the reason Earth isn't there is because Eclipse took her with him to save her from whatever fate awaits that world? I haven't watched that episode of the MgaFs yet, so I could be wrong? But I feel like that is something he would do. So maybe?

Also, the lore we got on Vageta is amazing. The dude could probably run Fazbear better than the actual c.e.o. Good job with that one, Monty 👍

Anyways I loved the episode as usual

10/10 👍

Introduction post!

Basics

Hi!!!

My name is Kesar (or any other variant of the name Caesar is fine to call me!) and I am 15. I am neurodivergent. I am an Asian-European (India and Sweden!), Hindu, and my pronouns are he/they!

Interests and Likes

I have a hyperfixation/special interest (I don't know which to use because I'm in denial about being autistic LMAO) of the Mediterranean, mostly Italy and Spain but also France, Portugal, Egypt, Greece, etc!

Languages

Due to my interest, I have taught myself Italian all on my own and I study Spanish at school since 2020, so I can speak them both at a good level.

All of the languages I speak as well as some more info on my history with them:

Swedish, I speak it every day and a bit at home

Hindi, I speak it every day at home with my family

English, I speak it here and I consume a lot of English media. Also I went to an international school for a couple of years.

Spanish, I've been learning it at school. Ever since I started learning it I've been the best in the class (this is very much a flex, I am very proud of the fact). I speak it at a very good level but I'm not close to fluent.

Italian, I am very proud of that I speak it because I learnt it all on my own using primarily music. I started learning it in 2021 but then took a LONG break for almost 2 years and in 2023 I got back on track and learnt it so well I'm almost at the same level at it as I am at Spanish hahaha

French, as I speak Spanish and Italian it wasn't that hard for me to get a grasp at French. I'm definitely not good at it and am best at written French, not spoken, but I understand enough to say I know it. Also, I can carry a conversation in French so. Yeah. I also really like Lupin.

Urdu, as I speak Hindi I understand Urdu well. Of course there are words I don't know, but since I understand so much of it and I speak it better than I speak Spanish or Italian I had to include it.

Music

My favourite song artists are Marco Mengoni and MIKA. They are my top 2. I love them so much.

I also listen to Mahmood, Måneskin, Queen, The Lonely Island, Lady Gaga, Kali Uchis, Megan Thee Stallion, Veronica Maggio, Shreya Ghoshal, and a lot more.

Apart from that I like English music from 2000 to the late 2010s. I also like Hindi music, rap (i listen to a LOT of Megan Thee Stallion, she's such a queen), Eurovision (although I am not supporting them this year due to them including Israel, Free Palestine🇵🇸), Hispanic music, Francophone music, Italian music and Swedish music. I also enjoy classical, both South Asian and European.

TV

I love TV! My favourites are dramedies. I like comedy a lot. My favourite type of show would be sitcoms because I understand them and I grew up with them and I like their humour. Here are TV shows I very, very strongly like in no particular order:

Psych, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Community, 1899, Mythic Quest, Lupin, Monk, SNL (Saturday Night Live) and probably more that I just don't remember right now.

I have also watched a lot of other things, but this is all that comes to mind.

There are films that I really like, and most of them I have watched more than a few times. Like there were literally periods when I would just keep rewatching these:

The Kung Fu Panda film series, The Hotel Transylvania film series, The Lorax (specifically the Italian dub), The Shrek film series, and once again probably many more.

Other stuff I like:

Doraemon, Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse & Across The Spiderverse, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhaan (2020), Smiley (2022), Saiki K (TV series, I haven't been able to read the manga :/), etc.

Books

Mostly I read fact books, in middle school the librarian hated me for (metaphorically) eating up all the books on ancient Egypt, but I also have a few books I really like!

I love Rick Riordan. My favourite from him is definitely The Kane Chronicles but I also like PJO. I'm TKC all the way, though.

I also like Geronimo & Thea Stilton as well as Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They give me comfort.

I have a lot of queer books I bought for the sole reason of them being queer but I haven't read them yet hahahaha. I'm almost finished with Friday I'm In Love by Camryn Garrett!

I am also reading Babel by R. F. Kuang and Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafón!

Playlist time!

My Marco Mengoni playlist:

My Brad Bakshi playlist:

My Trobed playlist:

My Braddavid playlist:

My StottleMonk playlist:

My Sethon playlist:

That is all I can really come up with right now, but I will probably edit this soon! I'm not very good at stating what I like and all of that because I'm always scared I'm not telling everything or that people won't understand how I like it and stuff LMAO so don't be surprised if I take this post down :( I'm trying to get better though, so I'll keep it up!

[areallysourlemon]

Thank You

I wanna thank everyone for supporting me since I first posted here in June, I honestly didn't think I'd get this much kindness or support. 2023 was definitely a struggle for my mental health, it was so bad that I almost had to admit myself so I wouldn't do anything to myself (the 'it is what it is' exceeded its limits) luckily, my university was able to provide me access to therapy for students. My friends from class also always made sure I was okay. I won't lie though, it was so bad I started simping for terrible fictional men again (WOOOWW) which is what lead me here (got stuck in a rabbit hole, help) Anyways, thank you everyone who stuck around in 2023 and is watching my progress on animating Biggering (massive simp behaviour) and who is also helping me with the backgrounds I haven't been active in fandom since 2016-17 (yes I was in the Undertale fandom at its peak) I have met the nicest and most considerate people here, even though this particular fandom (Onceler / Lorax) has been past its peak from 10-11 years ago. Even though I'm very late to the party, this has been one of the many highlights of 2023 for me. Thank you (again) <3 - lemon / Libby

Hi, i watched the lorax for the first time since i was a kid like a week ago thanks to its recent tiktok fame with #ifithasascreentheloraxwillbeseen

as a kid i used to be obsessed with like behind the scenes dvd extras and cut content from movies and tv shows, so i always watched the extras menu stuff, and would look up them on the internet too, i still do that to this day,

after watching the lorax i decided to look and see if there was any cut scenes or maybe some finished unused animation, but instead i found a cut song called

Biggering (demo version)

i listened to it and noticed how similar it was to how bad can i be, so i dug more and more and learned all about it and the early version of the lorax

and by looking for more info on this movie because my autism brain decided to latch onto this movie, i found your page, so i have to ask, what else is there to know about biggering, and the early version of the lorax, as i still know very little about it, and since you are apparently a onceler og, what was your reaction to biggering and the story details that left with it when it was cut from the movie?

Welcome to the Once-ler fandom! 😊

Biggering is a mysterious song, no one who worked on The Lorax has said anything about it as far as I know, so we can only analyze it on our own. It's been around since the beginning of the fandom in 2012 and was popularized by Gloria's fan animatic back then: [link] which I'm sure you've already watched by now.

Here were my thoughts about the song when someone asked me a few years ago: [link] and I still stand by them. We've since learned that the animation team didn't want to make a dark movie: [link] They believed that animated movies should be bright and colourful, or at the very least they wanted to depict the fun tone of Dr Seuss's works, so I think that gives us a clue as to why they decided not to use Biggering.

We can only imagine what the film would've been like if it had a darker and more serious vibe. Fortunately, the fandom has provided many, many, many fanworks to make up for it. 😎 And we'll always have the perfection of the 1972 Lorax movie anyway; I hope you've seen it already too but just in case you haven't: [link]

To learn more about earlier Lorax concepts and things that were cut from the movie, you can browse this tag on my blog, which I have been building up meticulously for 11 years: https://miru667.tumblr.com/tagged/concept%20art

Thank you for sending me an ask! ;w; I'm on a two hour train ride currently so it was perfect timing haha

I found a mistake in the movie Lorax (2012)

(Encontré un error en la película Lorax (2012))

I haven't seen anyone commenting on this, so if anyone has already mentioned it, I'm sorry. (No he visto a nadie comentar sobre esto, así que si alguien ya lo ha mencionado, lo siento.)

One of the last times I watched Lorax I noticed an error in the scenery, specifically his bed. (Una de las últimas veces que vi The Lorax noté un error en el escenario, específicamente en la cama.)

When Onceler is lying down to sleep, on his bed there are 2 pillows, one white and one green. (Cuando Onceler se va a dormir, hay 2 almohadas en su cama, una blanca y otra verde.)

Just after Onceler turns off the light, the camera switches to his side, just before the Barbaloots begin stealing his bed. And the green pillow disappears. (Justo después de que Onceler apaga la luz, la cámara cambia a su lado, justo antes de que los Barbaloots comiencen a robar su cama. Y la almohada verde desaparece)

And all the other scenes in a row, in the river, don't have that green cushion. (Y todas las demás escenas seguidas, en el río, no tienen ese cojín verde.)

You can see these scenes here: (Puedes ver estas escenas aquí:)

Returning to Onceler's room, when all the animals and the Lorax are sleeping with him, the pillow comes back. (Al regresar a la habitación de Onceler, cuando todos los animales y el Lorax están durmiendo con él, aparece la almohada.)

You can see these scenes here: (Puedes ver estas escenas aquí:)

I know it's useless, but I have nothing to do and wanted to comment on this :b (Sé que es inútil, pero no tengo nada que hacer y quería comentar sobre esto. :b)

Music asks!!!! 5, 7, 12, 17, 30

5: A song that needs to be played LOUD The Sky is a Neighbourhood by The Foo Fighters. I listened to at a concert and it blew me away. Maybe it was the surroundings that super amplified it but it just doesn't sound as good when I listen to it off Spotify

7: A song to drive to How Bad Can I Be? from The Lorax. This is how this decision went: "Oh man, let me look at my driving playlist. Hmmm these songs are nice to listen to but none are my driving songs- wait, shit, it's this one, i sing along to this one I haven't even watched the movie." It's an earworm im sorry

12: A song from your preteen years Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. TBH I can't recall if I was a preteen when this came out, but I listened to the Black Parade album A LOT during my high school years, and its so good. I used to sing it a lot, have a million AMVs play in my head to this song, AND!!! I got to see them play live this year and oh my god. The Energy is still there, the entire stadium sung along for this one, we stood up and sang, and waved the lights of our phones. We'll carry on indeed.

17: A song that would sing a duet with on karaoke Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. It's not a duet PER SAY but people sing along with you when this pops up. Im singing it now and I bet it will pop into ur head and you'll sing together, and there we have made a wonderful duet <3

30: A song that reminds you of yourself Introspection? In My Music Memes? It's more likely than you think. It has to be Lets Dance to Joy Division by The Wombats. Reminds me to be chill and to have fun, and it's also a fun song and I think I'm a fun person. I hope I am anyways!!!!

About me

Hello everyone! I am Sebastian, and this is my Sabrina Secrets Of A Teenage Witch fan blog

Above this text is a picture I drew of Sabrina, I hope you like it

I've noticed there aren't many fans of this show, especially on this site, and if I'm being honest I understand, the show isn't as good as the other Sabrina Teenage Witch shows (at least from what I have heard because I haven't watched any other Sabrina shows).

But I'm also quite surprised by this because Tumblr has also showed love and interest in other media that isn't considered good such as The Lorax (2012), though I guess the Lorax was a lot more popular that this show and definitely made more money

Anyways so I've come to answer some questions that you may have about me and this blog, if you have anymore questions comment them and I'll answer them in another post

Here is the Q&A

V

V

V

Q: why did you start this blog?

A: I want to find other people who are interested in this particular show, and also introduce people to it so we can start our own little fanbase

Q: why do you like this show in particular?

A: this is for many reasons, I remember watching it a lot on Pop as a kid, Pop is this british TV channel that often shows cartoons for kids, it showed a lot of well known shows such as My Little Pony and Pokémon, but it also showed lesser known shows such as Sabrina: Secrets Of A Teenage Witch. I was about 7 when I first saw it, I think the first episode I saw was the Valentines day episode with all of those evil roses, I wasn't obsessed with the show or anything but I liked it and would gladly watch it if it was on

Then after I grew up and stopped watching TV channels like Pop, I sort of just forgot about SSOATW, I actually did forget about most of the episodes I watched with only a few select scenes lingering in my mind (an example was this scene of Shinji yelling at Sabrina, though since he literally does this in every episode I don't know specifically which episode its from)

That was until a few months ago when I saw an account on TikTok (I'm not exactly the biggest TikTok person btw, I just use it when I'm bored), this account posted songs from TV shows and movies and was basically one of those "nostalgic memories unlocked" type accounts, and one of the videos they had posted was the intro song to SSOATW, I was like "Hey I remember this show!" And I listened to the intro, the intro was surprisingly a tune and I liked it

I searched up the longer version of the intro on YouTube to listen to, and thats when I found that the entire series could be watched for free on YouTube, long story short I decided to watch it and yeah, its not the best thing in the world, and you could blame it on my nostalgia, but I actually enjoyed most of it, I really like the character Shinji, he is so cartoonishly mean to the other characters and is emo, and I'm a bit surprised he hasn't become one of those "Tumblr sexymen"

I also really like the style of the Witch World, yeah certain parts of it look like an old PS1 game, but I love the outfits of the Witch characters and the architecture of the school, and I honestly wish that they showed more of the creatures in the witch world, the only ones that really get much attention are the trolls, who I admit are sometimes funny but I found creatures such as the Ice Giant more interesting

Is the animation good? Nope. Is the writing good? It can vary. Is the story interesting? Sometimes. Are the characters interesting? They can vary. Is the intro song a bop? Hell yes.

So overall I don't really understand why I like Sabrina: Secrets Of A Teenage Witch so much, considering how mediocre it is (its not as bad as some other shows but still, not on Avatar The Last Airbender type level), but at least I'm having fun! 👍

Q: what will you be posting on this blog?

A: mainly fanart, reviews on certain episodes and the occasional fan fiction, mainly about Shinji because he's my favourite (not that I don't like the other characters too, I just find Shinji to be the most interesting)

Q: who is your favourite character?

A: well you've probably already guessed its Shinji, I just think he's really funny, I wish the show had delved more into his relationship with his mother (who is the main villain of the show) and made him less of a one note bully/rival character, but I guess thats sort of the appeal of him, he's stupid and acts all tough, and while he does have potential in magic his cockiness often gets the better of him

Q: who's your least favourite character?

A: I don't really hate anyone from SSOATW (at least not like soul crushingly hate), but one character I dislike is Jim, he didn't do anything that annoyed me, but thats the thing, he hasn't done anything in the show to make me feel anything! He has zero personality and is just the generic love interest guy, I don't get why Sabrina wants to be with him so badly. According to fans of other Sabrina shows, Harvey is actually Sabrina's love interest in the other shows, I would've liked that better, because yeah, Harvey's a nerd but he's got a personality, and there's nothing wrong with being a nerd!

This is honestly a problem I have with a lot of the other human world characters too, Sabrina's best friend Jesse has more personality than Jim, but there isn't really much we learn about her other than the fact she's Sabrina's best friend and is one of the only humans who knows she's a witch. Sabrina's aunts are quite fun but we don't know much about them either other than they're also witches, they own a bakery and they take care of Sabrina. Amy and Harvey are probably the more interesting characters in the human world, with Amy yeah she's the stereotypical mean girl and can be annoying at times, but at least she has personality and actually makes me laugh sometimes

Q: how do you think the show could've been improved?

A: there are many aspects in which the show could've been improved. One is the animation, but I'm not a master in animation so I don't exactly know how they could've improved it. Meanwhile I do know how to write and I have been writing stories since I was a toddler. First of all we need to make the human worlds characters more interesting, either give Jim an actual personality (maybe he's really shy, or he acts over confident to cover up the fact he is shy, or he's friends with Harvey because he's also a nerd and shares his nerdy interests) or get rid of Jim and make Harvey the love interest.

With Jesse, we could hear more about her interests, in the episode with the ice giant she directed the school play, maybe we could show more about her interest in theatre, maybe she aspires to write theatrical productions when she grows up. With Amy we could make her a bit more like Cleo from Monster High (at least in G1), still one of popular diva girls and has a bit of an attitude but still cares about her friends, she partook in the school play Jesse directed, maybe she and Jesse are also quite good friends because Amy aspires to be an actress when she grows up which connects to Jesse's interests in theatre.

When it comes to Sabrina's aunts we could learn more about their backstories before Sabrina was born, we could learn about their lives in the Witch World, maybe one of them used to be terrible at magic and was bullied about it, maybe one of them was very good at magic and was at the top of every class but because of this more pressure was put on them and they were met by jealousy from their peers.

In the witch world we don't have as much problems when it comes to the characters not being interesting, but there are still things we can take a look at. For example in the ice giant episode we learn that Sabrina and Ambrose are cousins, I wish the show had delved deeper into their relationship, and maybe Sabrina's relationship with her other aunt and uncle (wait, does Sabrina have many aunts or maybe Zelda or Hilda is secretly Ambrose's mom? I doubt it but its an interesting concept)

We also learn that Ambrose sort of has issues with his parents seeing as they sort of traumatized him as a child when they threatened to feed him to the ice giant when he didn't eat his food, these issues with his parents are never brought up again

Speaking of parents, like I mentioned before I wish we learned about Shinji's relationship with his mother Enchantra more, yeah we know he's a mommas boy and despite claiming to be his "Own Warlock" he follows nearly everything she says a lot of the time, we also see she doesn't really treat him that nicely which maybe lead to the psychological issues that causes him to literally belittle everyone around for no reason other than to feel superior, maybe this is his way of coping with his mom always asserting her superiority over him.

In the episode chariots of fear Shinji actually learns to work with Sabrina during the 10,000 steps trial Enchantra sends them on, yeah he bickers with her during it but it was cool to see them work together and it could've led to him getting some character development, and I also wish we could've seen more of his opinions on his mom wanting him and Sabrina to get married despite the fact they don't like each other

Lets talk Zanda and Wanda, I think they're twin sisters? I'm not entirely sure, they might be twins but they could also be best friends who happen to have similar names. I wish they had gotten more fleshed out characters, they seem to be one of those "opposites attract" type of friendship, seeing as Zanda is red, tomboyish and more wild while Wanda is blue, feminine and more chill, and I like that sort of thing. I wish we could've seen how their differences affect their friendship and how they manage to get along so well despite being so different, but hey its not like they're as bad as the human world characters.

Veralupa I think is one of the better witch world characters alongside Ambrose and Shinji, she's half witch half werewolf and I think she's very charming! I like how she and Sabrina have a special bond because they seem to be the only 2 half witches in school, she's funny, kindhearted and has a quick temper, she's definitely in my top 5 favourites. My only problem is that I wish we could hear about her struggles of being half werewolf half witch, maybe the witch side and werewolf sides of her family don't get along and she's sort of stuck in the middle because of that. But like Zanda and Wanda, she's 100% not as bad as some of the human world characters

I think Enchantra is an entertaining villain but I wish they could've explained her motive better, like how does Shinji and Sabrina getting married make it so she can combine their powers and steal it from them? How does she even know that them getting married will do this?

Finally it comes to Sabrina, I like Sabrina, I think her being half witch half human is interesting, I like seeing her relationships with the other characters, I think her voice actress does quite a good job and I think her design (both in her human clothes and witch clothes) is adorable. But I wish she was given more flaws, it seems like Sabrina is absolutely perfect in both worlds. In the Witch World she's top of her classes in magic, everyone at Witch school is her friend (except Shinji, but that doesn't really count because no one at Witch school really likes Shinji), she's always able to escape any and all dangers without any lasting consequences, in the Human world everyone also wants to be her friend (even the mean girl rival/frenemy Amy is her friend in a way and isn't as mean to her as Shinji), she doesn't seem to do bad at Human school, her Aunts take good care of her, she lives in a cool bakery, the guy she likes probably likes her back, she rides a cool pink scooter, and everything always seems to go her way

Its not like Sabrina is insufferable or anything because like I said before I like Sabrina, but I wish she was given more flaws than just "being clumsy and awkward". Many people would probably describe her as a Mary Sue type character. The show often describes that Sabrina struggles with being half human half witch, but thats only really brought up in one episode where Sabrina expresses frustration of having to go to multiple hours of Witch school and then another multiple hours of Human school which would obviously leave her exhausted, but like Ambrose's parent issues, this is never brought up again. I wish we could see how Sabrina is frustrated feeling like she can never spend time on herself or her hobbies because by the time she's finished with Witch and and Human school at the end of the day she's too tired to do anything but sleep, making her feel like she doesn't have any real purpose, but no the show sort of just glosses over this

One last thing I'd like to comment on about the show is the magic. I get it, its just a kids show and not many kids really think about the magic system when watching a show about witches and warlocks, but the magic system in this show makes zero sense. Its the type of magic thats only acknowledged when its convenient, and then in a later episode when that same type of magic could be useful in a situation its completely ignored! I also wish that there were different types of magic that the characters could succeed and struggle with (for example maybe Sabrina could be excellent with wand magic but is absolutely terrible at spoken spells)

Q: who are you as a person

A: hi I am Sebastian, I am good at art, writing and other such things. I have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I love Sabrina Secrets Of A Teenage Witch, Jojos Bizarre Adventure, Gorillaz, Minecraft, Sonic The Hedgehog, Monster High and Resident Evil (Though obviously I will mainly post about Sabrina). I love goth, emo and scene kid fashion and music (I often draw this type of style too). My favourite Holiday is Halloween. I am from England (yeah the place where we drink tea and eat crumpets and stuff 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧☕☕☕☕). And my favourite colour is green

Q: are you a boy or girl?

A: I am a boy, I know my name Sebastian is primarily a male name but people have gotten confused about my gender before (I assume this is because I present more feminine interests) so I want to make it clear I am male

Q: how old are you?

A: I'm not comfortable sharing my age but when it comes to people interacting with my blog I'd say its not completely inappropriate for kids, but not exactly for little little kids, I do swear sometimes and on very rare occasions talk about inappropriate subjects (though I never go into graphic details or post anything surrounding these subjects entirely and I always put warnings beforehand)

So yeah, that's about everything I can think of, if you decide to stick around I hope you enjoy! And if you don't thats fine, I hope you have a nice day

So this right here just... stunned me. This is outside of a goodwill, and there's one tree in the center of a little patch of dirt in the middle of sidewalk, but around it and tied to it are a few fake flowers, stuck in the ground to imitate real plants.

And like... maybe there's a purpose to this I just haven't thought of. It doesn't seem like the style or place for a little roadside shrine commemorating someones death, but maybe this is just a type I haven't seen before?

Because if this is an unironic attempt at landscaping then that means that

Someone had the bad taste to get fake plants and try to plant them outdoors. And not like, fake plants that are designed to look like live growing things, but a straight-up dollar general fake sunflower bouquet.

2. Someone has never watched the lorax. Someone is immune to the wretched symbolism, the depressing vibes of this scene. The heartrending metaphor for Capitalism and overconsumption that is planting plastic flowers in real dirt - as if they would grow, as if they are more beautiful, more convenient than the real.

But perhaps this is some cultural phenomenon I was unaware of, and there is a real and valid reason why plastic flowers are here instead of real.

what do you think about the lorax 2012? did you like it?

Anon, you have opened a can of worms. I wrote more than 400 and that's still not all I wanted to say but it was getting long already. TL;DR in the last paragraph.

You must know I haven't been introduced to the Lorax as a child. I took interest in it in 2021 because I heard Biggering. Previously all I knew was something something oncest. Then I watched '72 version and read the original book (in this order). And after doing so I have decided to watch 2012 version as well.

It's not a terrible movie as far as children movies go. I believe I have some idea about animated American movies from the first half of 2010s and it's really not the worst. However it isn't good Lorax adaptation. It uses its runtime really non-efficiently. It has some good ideas but it's too scared to take them further. When you learn more about its concept art and deleted songs it starts physically hurt. So much wasted potential. We really could get a masterpiece.

While I may not take Lorax philosophy as my own I can understand it and see when it's underutilized. The environmental message falls flat. They make it about trees (all trees in the world) and it was never about trees. Once-ler says in '72 version something like "never in my life I have seen treese like these" (it may be not word for word I quote from memory). Truffula is not the only kind of tree in Lorax-verse. And more important it is a SYMBOL. What Once-ler does is symbolic. Once-ler and Lorax are themselves a symbols. Both older versions are great cautionary tales for children because they use symbols and allegories to express complex concepts in a simple manner. In 2012 version Once-ler and Lorax don't work as symbols.

I also don't like the direction they took with the Once-ler. Despite having a longer screentime he is still less complex than his '72 version (some people say ‘72 and book versions are identical but that's a lie. But it's a thing for another post). He's transformation into a villain is unrealistic and dumb. It only takes a length of how bad can I be. He destroys the environment because his family told him to do so. Struggling with own conscience? Thinking about what will happen to your workers, to the economy if you quit? Nah.

And I don't like his design. It's not even that he is a human. It's that stupid fedora and the fact he doesn’t age. He should! Then it wouldn't look like his company lasted for two years.

TL;DR: It's not the worst thing ever but I don’t like it. It misses the point of the original and has a lot of underused potential.

Other films I watched:

The Lorax (2012) was pretty cute. It was surprisingly sweet too. <3 I had no idea the studio who made this film also made the film Minions! I haven't seen Minions, but I've heard of it.

Planes (2013). This is from Pixar, and really sweet and funny. The animation is so pretty! And the characters are so cool. Especially Dusty. You rock, Dusty. :)

Inside and Out (2015). This is really heartfelt and ahhhh!!! It became really sad at times, but I'm glad I stuck out till the end!! It's so smart and kind. I recommend this film too.

Turning Red (2022). Um. I liked it! I thought it was hilarious and the songs were catchy. I remember one guy I used to follow on social media saying he thought the film was relatable but bad. I think it's not that relatable (because, you know, I can't turn into a giant panda) but really good.

Also I felt sorry for Mei when her mum found her picture notebook but I can't relate?? I remember when one relative found my art notebook (years ago) and complained about me drawing bimbos (her words, not mine, and the bimbos in question were Princess Jasmine from the animated movie Aladdin, and my original characters). I just shrugged and kept drawing. Mind you, that's ok. Not every character has to be relatable.

The line that cracks me up is when Mei's mum says, "Why is the band called 4 Town when there are five of them?" XD

Listen. While I do 100 percent admit that Illumination has bare bones scripts almost exclusively, this isn't a terrible thing because not every movie needs to be a think piece. I agree we should have faith in our audiences but sometimes an audience does just want and deserve to watch a silly movie.

Anyway the vitriol towards them is mostly due to 1) people who get all their opinions on film from a loud guy on YouTube even though they haven't watched the film themselves and 2) people who are embarrassed or perturbed by the onceler nonsense of 2012 (which, aside, the Lorax isnt even that bad, people just say it is so no one suspects they had a hand in it). (The Oncest stuff WAS weird though. That one can stay gone).

Hola,

I am so tired and full right now its insane. I just had dinner with some friends and it was so fun! I tried wanderlust for the first time and the ube ice cream was AMAZING. Yesterday I basically pulled an all-nighter and so I haven't slept since 2 days ago. My eyes feel heavy, my stomach feels like it's going to explode.

But I will finish my bread because it is so good.

This morning, I had to wake up at 10am for an interview with UH. Thankfully, I talked with the interviewer and she said I didn't have to fly back to Cleveland for orientation next Tuesday. SO THANKFUL. I then got so tired and got a pizza from The Study. I just realized I have been getting so many Study pizzas. I fell asleep in The Study watching the Lorax. Then I slept more in my room and went to Janss Step so sit on the grass with Margaret. We had a great conversation!

JP ELLIE: Ellie told me that she's also a bit stressed at Fireside today. She also said that she needed to catch up on sleep, which I also related to.

Peace out.

TIME: 10:46 PM
