I think this is a great point. I totally think Cedric is protecting Sofia to get her out of the way in that scene. I think he was afraid for her safety. This plays into a lot of the way I understand Cedric and Grimtrix’s relationship.

I, personally, think Cedric is afraid of Grimtrix even as far back as the Hexley Hall episode. In the Hexley Hall episode, he’s friendly enough with Grimtrix in the beginning of the episode when they first start talking to each other. However, we also know that Cedric doesn’t like him based on what he says to Sofia when they’re first arriving. Cedric claims this is because of Grimtrix’s title “the good.” Yet, we know there are at least a handful of “good” aligned sorcerers Cedric loves. (Merlin of course is a big one.)

Therefore, is it that Cedric doesn’t like Grimtrix because he feels like the title of “the good” is a misnomer? Is there a reason for his lack of trust in Grimtrix’s goodness? Is Cedric aware of some kind of underlying hypocrisy? The world can only supply head canons because we never get an actual answer. My personal feeling is that Grimtrix has always given Cedric bad vibes, and the idea of this guy being called “good” is just laughable.

Regardless of what Cedric knew or didn’t know during the Hexley Hall episode, he *certainly* knows that Grimtrix is dangerous and to be feared by DotS. Thus, getting Sofia out of there is a high priority.

Another thing I like to think is that Cedric might have wanted to *be* stopped. He asks her to gather people to stop this takeover. He knows who’s there. He knows those people are powerful and totally capable of stopping them. You really mean to tell me that Merlin was there and Cedric didn’t know? He wanted to be stopped. I really, truly believe that. He wanted to make a point. But, it was about making a point. He needed Roland to hear him and this was the way to be heard.

Therefore, I also think that Cedric is far more capable of seeing nuance than Wormwood. Wormwood, being a bird, has a one track mind. He is like “this is what we’ve wanted, worked for, and potentially needed since our youth - you are NOT throwing this away over a potential opportunity to get what you deserve. She’s ten years old. Putting all our faith in her is totally unwise because she has no power.”

Whereas, Cedric, being human, sees that finally having human connection has been a miracle unto itself. He’s got to pass down the lessons his favorite teacher taught him. He has got to laugh. He has got to experience joy. He has got to love. He has got to feel paternal. He has got to teach. He has got to experience emotions he never thought he would have to opportunity to experience because of the connections he has made through Sofia. He sees the potential. But, in the end, the hurt still runs too deep. He’s not out of it yet. But, it comes back to the fact that, I don’t think he wanted anything more than to be heard.

Cedric was making a very loud and aggressive point with every thought that the “good sorcerers” were going to stop them, and he was just screaming very loudly into the void. But this time? At least someone other than the four walls of his tower were going to hear him.

In 'Day of the Sorcerers', when Sofia secretly got Cedric's attention during the Order of the Wand's meeting and pulled him out of the room, expressing horror for what she overheard Grimtrix plotting, Cedric distracted Sofia by fibbing that he intended to stall Grimtrix and the rest of them, and told Sofia to fetch all the good sorcerers to stop the Order.

After she left, Wormwood (disgusted by how much Cedric's grown to care so much about Sofia, especially now that he was closer to taking over Enchancia than ever before) smacks Cedric upside the head and tells him he can't let Sofia ruin a perfectly good wicked plan. Cedric snaps back at Wormwood that he only said all that to Sofia to get her to leave.

And that was true. But here's something that didn't get brought up in the episode, and something I don't see brought up in the fandom. I think the main reason he distracted Sofia like that and sent her away was not only so she wouldn't find out he was going to take over Enchancia (or at least considering it at the time) and have her heart broken, but also to protect her. Because if Grimtrix and the Order discovered the princess snooping around there, especially if they knew she overheard their plans to conquer all the kingdoms and control the world, they wouldn't have hesitated to freeze her with their Medusa Stones (like they were going to do to all the royals anyway).

Poking him with a stick

Some time ago I wanted to draw StF characters during high school. I liked thinking about what they would look like at that age so much that a whole AU was born, which I painted.

During adolescence, a lot changes in a person's life: the environment, attitude, appearance and even one’s own self.

It became interesting for me to confront the characters with this, so the main theme of the AU is the first changes and the unknown that follows them.

As you may have noticed, the sisters are drawn in school uniforms. I think that the routine of high school gave a powerful impetus to the development of the characters' problems, because school is almost the main part of any teenager's life. This is a large concentration of stress, and its consequences are reflected in my AU.

Overall, I hope you enjoy reading this. I have divided the information on the characters and will make their profiles in separate posts. Links will be below as these profiles are published.

CONCEPT ART CEDRIC YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED

Live Laugh Lconcept art cedric my beloved my baby I will protect you from all the evil things in world

[prodigal-explorer]

i hate when people call sofia a mary sue or boring because YES she is extremely powerful with the amulet and YES she is more often than not in the right in any given situation, but i think people fail to realize that she is such an interesting character still and she still has flaws!

like (almost) every time the amulet curses her, it’s to highlight one of her flaws. those are always the most interesting episodes to me and there are quite a few of them! there are moments where sofia isn’t a perfect sweetheart who’s kind to everyone and those are my favorite moments! when she is just CLEARING people and dragging their asses. it’s the funniest thing ever.

i love sofia’s flaws she’s just a little girl learning about the world.

trust me i know what mary sues look like and she is NOT one of them.

❝ Wormy! Get the butterflies! ❞

Princess Ivy forgot the most important rule; That one must never, ever go up against Enchancia's royal sorcerer.

Okay Besties, perhaps I've written a whole Story with Sofia as Story Keeper....would you come along if I tell it?

Why dis 🪄 look so mad

[kyitsya]

local sorcerer absolutely devastated by niece’s reply

i have so many thoughts on calista’s hair. its genuinely so funny how cruel the writers were to give cedric a niece who’s pretty advanced at magic AND make her obsessed with him. the poor guy wants her to do anything but go down the same path as him.

'My Evil Dreams' and symbolism

Something I noticed from the song 'My Evil Dreams', guys.

Even when Cedric seemingly finally made up his mind about seizing the kingdom instead of choosing Sofia's friendship, he went from confident and determined once-and-for-all ("I've always had so much to prove! I cannot hesitate! It's time for me to make my move and be Cedric the Great! My evil dreams are my friends when I am alone! My evil schemes make me feel like I have a home! My evil dreams, nothing's changed! I know just what to do!")...

... To once again unsure and even remorseful, judging by the very sudden distinct shift in his tone, expression, and body language right as his fantasy crown strangely vanishes (which is perfect symbolism for that last-minute hesitation/recognition of the truth in his heart) and he slowly falls down from his fantasy pedestal/throne (even as he's singing "My evil dreams will come through, now that I'm sure I want them to", which is brilliant irony)…

...And then right back to seemingly determined again, as shown by his body language when he clenches his fists and closes his eyes, as if desperately trying to wrench himself out of that last bit of 'weakness' he can't afford ("And then at last, yes, at last... my evil dreams will finally come true!")

In other words, even when Cedric really thought he'd made up his mind for good after Wormwood chimed in with his deliberate manipulation tactic ("The princess may be nice to you, but what about the rest? All those who point and laugh at you must see that you're the best!"), he had another momentary feeling of remorse/lapse in certainty, but then he quickly snapped himself out of it because he convinced himself that his misguided ambitions were truly his only path… even though, deep down, he didn't want that. He already had what he needed in Sofia, and he knew it in his heart, but the biggest part of his tragedy is that he allowed himself to be convinced (by both himself and Wormwood) that Sofia's friendship wasn't enough, as much as he couldn't deny how much he cared about her and deeply appreciated all she did for him.

He was at his most vulnerable during this song.

And that whole part was pretty subtle too, which makes it twice as fascinating!!

I recently watched "Sofia the First". I was pleasantly surprised by this touching magical world. All the characters are so cool, the plot and atmosphere touched me to the core. I'll slowly post drawings dedicated to this wonderful animated series.

Also, it seems to me that everyone is always interested in the adult version of heroes, and drawing them like that is a tradition. So I decided to make my own version of a grown-up Sofia :3
