Wei Wuxian dead for thirteen or sixteen years .... Soul can't be summoned... What if the stygian tiger amulet wasn't the only reason he lost control? What if... Mount Tonglu had opened? And what if the reason Wei Wuxian's spirit couldn't be contacted was because he was carried by the flood of resentful creatures to mount Tonglu, all this to say, ghost king!WWX.

Sweet idea: Because of her closer connection with animals, Sofia stopped eating meat. She'd push it to the other side of her plate, only eating the veggies and non-meat parts of her meal. Some people thought she was just being fussy. But Baileywick made sure her needs were met. He had her meat be replaced with another form of protein, like different beans and vegetables, he also told her it was no issue. He just wanted her to be taken care of, not leaving half of her meal uneaten and staying half full.

Sofia The First - Get That/My Amulet (Storyboards)

So, the thing is: These storyboards can only be accessed via a Wayback Machine link. The original site has been deleted and this is the only way to access it. When I go to the website to see the storyboards and it takes a while to load, I'm always afraid that it's been deleted. So to not lose the STF storyboards, I decided to post them here on Tumblr as a backup. The quality isn't that good because Tumblr's image limit is 10, and these storyboards in total have almost 60 images, so I tried to put them all in the same images (it worked, but they're small). All credit goes to the artists who worked on the project and Disney.

this last screenshot is a pic I took of the website! to give credits!

Something I’ve been seeing since the Minecraft movie trailer got released was a bit of a surge in the Mcsm fandom again which is great! Mainly cause of a different Minecraft teaser made by Wazzy for a remake of mcsm. I’m mainly hoping that this project continues to keep its traction of popularity with (by the time I’m typing this right now) at 1mill views! I’m just happy the game I’ve still loved for all these years is getting noticed more again :]

The Amulet of Avalor: A blessing and a curse in the new series.

I have a feeling they're going to end up having to reduce the narrative influence of the Amulet of Avalor.

When it comes to the amulet, it's possible that they reduce its powers in some way. Or magically signals that Sofia no longer needs it, and that it should look for a new carrier, breaking her promise for the greater good.

( Or will it continue in the family? Will Miranda and Roland have a new member in the family? An adopted child, or perhaps a baby? Perhaps Aunt Tilly and Sir Bartley will have a child and Sofia will present the child with the amulet. )

Perhaps Sofia loses the amulet, implying that the amulet would be found by a new princess without Sofia having to break her promise.

Or, in a more "dark" alternative, the amulet becomes defective or breaks completely. Making it impossible for it to be used by her.

( Until it is fixed in a convenient way, so that it doesn't break the lore logic about the amulet being worn by multiple Disney princesses.)

Because its powers if they were "unlocked" at the grand finale of Sofia The First, and with Sofia's character development, the chances of her being cursed by it are reduced.

And if Sofia, using the Amulet of Avalor, doesn't have many challenges for her, what will the next challenges be?

On the merchandising front: if they decide to reuse the amulet, it's possible it will get an updated look.

If it already changed color during the series after Elena was freed from inside it, it's likely that it will undergo design changes in the new series as well.

( Whether it will get better or worse is debatable.)

What if they decide that the amulet is no longer viable as a recognizable source of merchandising? And that they need something more iconic and unique for the new series?

They will probably come up with some excuse as to why the amulet is no longer present, and have come up with a new "more magical and fantastic " item for Princess Sofia.

( Which also, will be equally debatable whether the change will be for the better or worse.)

And you guys? What do you think about this? I would like to know your opinion.

Something I noticed in When You Wish Upon A Well...

First Tumblr post and it's for STF 😂 (I love this show :)

So lately I've been quite obsessed with Cedric (again) and rewatching every single STF episode he was in ... and then I can't help but notice this:

In the episode where Sofia got transformed into a cat, he briefly appears when Sofia attempts to seek his help in turning her back into human form.

And she gets shooed by him 😂 (fair enough, it is strange that a cat randomly appears at your door, he couldn't have thought of the possibility that it was Sofia). But in this next scene... how does he not immediately recognize her amulet, the very object of his desire, literally just hanging on her neck (and she gets really up close like:

Even Wormwood was able to recognize Sofia's amulet (sure, he took a prompt since she was able to directly communicate/tell him but come on how could Cedric have missed it 😂😭

It gets even funnier if you wind back to the S1 episode "The Amulet of Avalor" where Sofia gets her amulet stolen by a griffin and he plans to snatch it.

Get this, the griffin lands on top of a fountain, he happens to walk by, and manages to accurately spot the amulet at the corner of his eye (from afar might I add) ...

But not when it's on a cat who sits like few inches from him? 💀

Photos for comparison.

He doesn't even bat an eye. 💀

Well anyway... it is a cartoon show, so guess I have to suspend my disbelief 😂

Amulet Rant Time

Okie dokie Waverider is out and thus has concluded the series…so it’s time for a little…bonfire, we’ll call it.

Now don’t get me wrong. I still love this series and always will. I’ve been in the fandom since about Prince of the Elves. I literally have grown up with this series in my backpack from the moment I checked it out of my school’s library. I spent my first summer job paycheck buying all the books out at the time. This series holds a very special place for me.

I also understand that after Book 5(? I’m typing this out on mobile so I can’t verify), Kazu got very sick and lost a lot of his memories, which affected how he wrote Amulet and thus the rest of the story, so I’m not going to say he was a trash author.

There are just certain things that just…have not worked out post Escape from Lucien. And honestly, this is going to be more of a venting ramble than anything, so for the new readers coming in, take it with a grain of salt. You can still enjoy the series, fall in love with the characters, etc. That’s why we enjoy it.

Now I’m gonna do everything else under read-more so spoilers ahead.

.

.

.

We good? Okay, good.

I already stated that I give Waverider a 1/10. It actually is not my least favorite book, to be honest. (That “honor” goes to Supernova)

Trellis leaving the throne?

As others have pointed out, after Escape from Lucien it made no sense for him to just up and skedaddle. That boy was adamant he was going to lead his people. That’s what his whole plot was in the book, and him accepting more of that role in Firebird/the beginning of Supernova. Heck, they even pointed out that Gabilan, even though… voted in(?) as the new king was not doing a good job of it. Gabilan himself fully expected Trellis to take back the throne (albeit by force which is not really Trellis’ style). It felt very much like unnecessary step back from three books worth of development.

I can’t say much about Gabilan because while he did establish in The Cloud Searchers he wanted to be king, it didn’t feel right. Like there was nothing driven past that, that would say he wanted to be king. Honestly besides a tiny bit in Firebird he didn’t get as much character development as he should have, if at all. Which is why, if he was planned to take over from a while ago, probably should have had happened sooner.

Ronin and her Students

Speaking of introducing sooner, this is where I feel having a whole ‘nother two books would have helped the story, because this was just…so terribly executed.

I can’t tell you a single thing about her students except one turned into a turtle and another Cthulhu. I can’t even tell you anything about Ronin beyond her “I was right” mentality (and the mask, not sure why she was wearing a mask).

They all felt very shoe-horned in. I have no attachment to these characters, no real interest in seeing them succeed. They were brought in to fill a plot hole, while simultaneously making another plot hole in their wake.

Overall Problems with the Series

Genre Confusion

I think we’ve already established that Amulet would have been better off as a fantasy series than sci-fi. That is honestly my biggest problem with Supernova, was that was a giant Sci fi wedge in what was predominantly a fantasy series (I know we started more in Escape from Lucien and Firebird, but this is where I feel we veered too off course)

We honestly could have completely cut the sci-fi bit, changed a few things around between Escape from Lucien and Firebird, cut out most of Supernova -which yes, would have wrecked Navin’s sideplot, but there was different options that could have happened.

We don’t need the additional aliens/planets. Those characters could have easily just been Alledian on different parts of Alledia and we would have never known. We don’t even know what most of Alledia looks like because we’ve only been to a handful of places that predominantly look the same.

Which brings me to

Ikol and his Masters

I was so confused by the end of their story. They’re aliens but not. They were created by Silas but they have been around for eons. Everything was Made by Silas to Protect his Family. I just…*sigh*

It felt like they were beating the already dead piñata (pun partially intended).

Silas died in the first book. The consequences of his actions were established to be that he got a bunch of students killed and he ended up passing a huge burden onto Emily that should have gone to her mother. I don’t know why he had to be brought out as this.

Ikol could have very much remained a Chaotic Entity that thrived on the turmoil, his “masters” being a lie to convince Emily that he too was not in total control of the situation so he could slip her more into his control. We already know he likes collecting powerful stonekeepers who are vulnerable enough to fall sway to his side.

Heck, he comes back every 500 years to wage war with the elves and probably (should he have remained the entity) thought of it as one big game.

Having him turn into a somewhat malevolent AI that was just following orders to a T just…does not make sense to me. Especially if he was causing havoc with the elves for so long as implied.

Time-Travel

Okay honestly this is my biggest gripe with the later books.

We established, Books 4 and 5, time-travel was not possible.

All it does is send them back to interact with their memories. They don’t actually change anything about their lives outside the Void.

So having Future Emily and her son come back and save Present Emily throws all of the continuity out the window. And Future Emily’s little interaction with Ikol where it’s implied that they’ve done this over and over? Felt so weird after they actually dealt with Ikol. It felt like a useless little tag on that we ended up not actually needing. (Again, Supernova is my least favorite book for a lot of reasons)

Stonekeepers Good but Bad

*sighs again* Yes. This part would feed into the Problem of Too Many Characters Amulet has going on. But. We were not shown examples beyond our current group (Meaning Emily Trellis and somewhat Vigo) of good stonekeepers.

The Guardian Council that ruled over most of Alledia for centuries? Corrupt.

Silas? Self serving. (Despite being called hero numerous times, we were not actually shown anything he did besides stopping the rampaging stonekeepers back in The Stonekeepers Curse, and even then we weren’t actually shown, just told he did it.)

The Elfking(s)? Corrupted by their stones.

Most of Alledia in the early books respect Stonekeepers enough to kinda hold them in reverence. But we’re not shown anyone (beyond a couple panels of someone building stuff) notable enough to say Yes. Stonekeepers good. Anyone else who is mentioned is “Yeah, they were good, but they listened to their stone and turned into a rampaging monster” (Honestly Gabilan has more of a point here)

I get that’s why Ronin and hers were introduced, but they were introduced way too late into the series for it to feel that there could be some sort of balance.

Emily is one big outlier too here. She’s good but because she feels she has to be and has been told she has to be. Firebird honestly put a nice spin in this because we do see her fall. But Supernova kinda nixed that development sooooo.

*cough*ThisiswhatOCsarefor*cough*

Conclusion

Now those are the biggest ones that have bugged me for a while in addition to the new stuff from the new book. @motherstone has already touched upon multiple times some of the other issues that I tend agree with (go check them out, their art is amazing and I love their ideas. Also looking forward to their rewrite!)

Is there some technical issues with the books as well that bug me? Yes. (The later books are very over saturated in comparison to the older ones and it kinda shows, and I believe that Motherstone already touched upon the “smoothification” that started taking place about book 4/5, and there were quiet a few panels that felt very unfinished in the later two books)

Am I sad to see the series end? Yes. But Kazu at least finished as best he could to the end instead of half assing it or completely dropping the series altogether, and I can respect that.

Do I already have my own post-book 6 AU that I’m willing to ramble about at the drop of a hat? Also Yes. (May also heavily be influenced by some OCs)

Overall, I enjoyed Amulet enough to see it through the end. Books 3-5 will remain my favorites. I still will cherish the characters that we got. Amulet is probably the first thing that actually got me into interacting with Fanart and Fandom, so I’d say it’s a pretty big part of what developed me. And for the newbies. Hi! I see you! I look forward to seeing what you do with the series!

See y’all around!

(And btw, if you drop something in my ask box, I’ll apologize in advance if I don’t get to it. I tend to forget I have one)

Headcanon: Elena's Struggles with the Amulet of Avalor

The Amulet of Avalor is a powerful artifact with a complex history, and its capabilities are both a blessing and a curse. While it grants its wearer powers for good deeds, it can also impose severe curses for missteps. This duality is evident in Elena's experience with the amulet, which may explain why some of its curses were particularly harsh.

Elena's Connection to the Amulet:

As the original bearer trapped within the amulet for 41 years, Elena's bond with it is unique. The amulet protected her from Shuriki by imprisoning her, which transformed its color from red to purple[1]. This act was both a protective measure and a curse, showcasing the amulet's unpredictable nature.

The Complexity of Control:**

Elena's inability to fully control the amulet's powers could stem from its inherent complexity. The amulet chooses its bearers based on qualities like courage and age, but it also has its own mystical criteria for when and how to bestow or retract powers[1][2]. This unpredictability might have made it difficult for Elena to harness its full potential without unintended consequences.

Harsh Curses as Lessons:**

The severe curses experienced by Elena could be interpreted as lessons rather than punishments. The amulet's intention might have been to prepare her for future challenges by teaching resilience and adaptability. These experiences could have been crucial in shaping her into a wise leader capable of reclaiming her kingdom

Legacy and Influence:**

After being freed, Elena's influence on the amulet continued. When Sofia inherited it, she discovered new abilities that were unlocked after Elena's release[1]. This suggests that Elena's time with the amulet left a lasting impact on its magic, further complicating its behavior.

In conclusion, while Elena struggled with controlling the amulet, these challenges were integral to her growth as a leader. The amulet's harsh curses served as both protection and preparation, ensuring that she emerged stronger and more capable of facing the trials ahead. This headcanon highlights the nuanced relationship between Elena and the amulet, emphasizing themes of growth through adversity.

[moonypears-blog]

This is a thought I've been having for awhile.

What will happen to the Amulet after Sofia? The other princesses presumably didn't take an oath to it like she did, probably taking it off eventually and it getting passed along, and there's no longer the mission of finding the perfect princess to free Elena. Will it be put back in the royal jewel room once again? Will it be given to someone of the younger generation, perhaps one of Sofia's potential nieces/nephews? Would it be kept in a museum as a historical item? Would Sofia keep it forever, keeping the oath for eternity?
