I hate when they change like vital plot points of a book to fit in a movie. I mean, first of all the iconic F outfits. The Circus of Talents. We lost Princess Uma, a bad bitch if there ever was one. Anyway thoughts below but I can’t add a read more on mobile so sorry. Spoilers obviously.
Thoughts on the School for Good and Evil movie
Good
- The design and aesthetic of all of it was beautiful. I mean like everything was elegant and stunning and just visually incredibly pleasing.
- Sofia Ann Caruso is a great Sophie, she’s cringey and mean and overdramatic. She is the love child of Megamind and Regina George.
- Also Theron and Washington made great professors.
- The Tedros had a cool sword, iconic dumbassery, was pretty and also had cool fits which is how I like my men personally.
- Sophie and Agatha’s friendship at the start was super natural and well written.
- Soman cameo.
- I loved the little addition of Professor Anemone previously being a history teacher. It was just such a nice little touch to the world building and her character.
- The inherent creepiness of the casting for Rafal. I mean I always imagined him looking like a teenager but him looking like he’s in his twenties and trying to claim Sophie as his child bride really adds that extra layer of ickiness.
- Literally everything with Gregor Charming. An icon, a legend, he is the moment.
Bad
- Sofie Wylie is a good Agatha but they wrote her so blandly. Also like where was the initial awkwardness? We deserved bitchy goth loner Agatha. And like it would’ve been cool if Agatha was more conventionally unattractive. Like no hate to Sofie Wylie she’s absolutely gorgeous but it would’ve been nice if she did have that whole thing of yeah people don’t think she’s pretty but then her personality begins to outweigh that.
- Where the actual everloving fuck where Anadil’s rats? I was promised little rats. I was robbed.
- Why were all the Ever girls such bitches? I mean like passive aggressive? Yeah sure. But they were outright bullies.
- The plot change of Rafal purposefully letting Good grow complacent and vain. I think it’s more interesting when you have Good who genuinely have grown complacent without the manipulation of true evil or whatever. It adds more weight to it.
- The Circus of Talents was iconic and we deserved to have the wolves and fairies reveal.
- The blood magic? I mean like what? You have regular magic, no deus ex machina necessary.
- More development between our girls and Teddy. Like I love him being a pathetic little scrunkly but it felt like everything happened in two days. This may have been better adapted as a show considering it’s meant to be covering a whole year of school.
- We deserved hot pink finger glows.
- Lack of iconic book characters: Princess Uma, Castor and Pollux, the Golden Goose, the little pets they had, Anadil’s rats (yes I’m bitter), the librarian dude whose name I’m forgetting, he has Giles vibes, the seer, you know the dude.
- I wanted to see Hort’s frog pajamas.
- The actual explanation for the nemesis stuff like in the books.
- Where was the witches/Agatha friendship? Sophie betraying Aggie to avoid going home? Dovey caring about Good?
- More mean Sophie. Give the people what they want
- It felt so queer-baity. I know the book three twist but like it was just annoying.
Edit - Also the iconic line ‘I’m worse than my father. Because I still love you.’
All in all it was a fun movie but having loved the books as a kid I felt like they didn’t really get done justice. Two and a half hours wasn’t enough to cover the whole story adequately in my opinion.

can you write tedros x fem ever reader please
Tedros x fem!ever!reader headcannons
A/N i am working on doing a full fic for tedros x reader as I have had multiple requests for this (including 1 specific plot point) but I thought while everyone was waiting I’d get this out to give you a little look into the kinds of things I’d include!! There are references to the book as I am trying to erase the movie from my mind. (For more details please do ask, I’d love to rant)
Tedros is a sap
he would always do whatever he could to make you feel loved.
but he doesn’t realise that’s what he’s doing
he’s just naturally affectionate
he’s also insecure
he’s always scared you’re going to see past the crown and hate what’s there
the truth?
that could never happen
whoever doesn’t love the real tedros has bad taste
he’s sweet, kind, caring, and sure insecure but who can blame him with how his childhood was?
(I really hope y’all have read the books otherwise you have no clue what I’m talking about)
he’s also passionate
when he loves you, you know it
flirtatious, especially before you guys get official
secretly terrified of rejection
he loves so hard, so don’t you dare break his heart, he may never fully recover
trust issues, so when you break through that he’s completely and utterly yours
no-one can dissuade him from you
you mean so much to him if he truly trusts you
talks to you
opens up about his parents and Lancelot
always listens to you too
wants to help you however he can
once this boy falls in love with you he’s not leaving until you tell him to
would 100% be respectful if you told him you didn’t want to be with him
would be completely heartbroken but respectful
but until you tell him that he would never leave you alone
wants you to always know how much he loves you and cares for you
i don’t know what else to say apart from tedros would go to the ends of the world if it meant you were happy
i just love this man ok? I could go on for years about how loving he is
this man needs a lot of love too
like I said he’s insecure so needs to be reminded that you love him as much as he loves you
cuddles!!!
this man loves cuddles
always the little spoon
wants to be held and protected by you
feels safest when he’s touching you in some way
physical affection is his number 1 love language
he’s not always the best at comfort, at least not how he’d like to be
so physically reassuring you to remind you he’s there and listening when you need is how he comforts
he wants that too
not necessarily looking for advice straight away
just comfort
so hug him, hold his hand, let him lie in your lap, play with his hair, just touch him
finds your presence comforting
more than happy to just sit in a room together doing your own thing without talking
like you could be reading a book while he practises his sword fighting stances
just wants to be with you all the time
sneaks into your room before you get married
eventually gets to a point where he can’t sleep without you
loves waking up with you holding him
first time he does, this man buffers
he thinks you’re the most pretty person he has ever seen
just stares at you until you wake up
then when you do, he peppers you with kisses and tells you how beautiful he thinks you are
i could happily go on
if you want more headcannons do ask
nsfw ones?
orrr
never reader?
OR OR
never tedros??
or anything really
not that I’m excited or anything
