Daniel's She-Ra Watch-Along Blogging

I'm making this post to announce that there will be She-Ra Live Blogging happening now. It does include art tho so it's still art related but yes hi hello spop fandom it's nice to finally meet you.

Hi, my name is Daniel Fossey.

I'm 23 years old, bi, nonbinary, an artist, & also I'm a fucking idiot too.

I've never seen She-Ra.

Okay, well, I HAVE seen the original 1980s She-Ra show.

But we'll discuss that later when relevant.

I have.....vague nostalgia I guess?

I did WATCH both the original He-Man & She-Ra as a kid.

But I only did so if I didn't have a better option.

As for the reboot:

See, I've never seen this show. But I decided this year, I want to experience the whole thing. So, instead of binging it, I've decided I want to keep track of my experience going through this entire show. Episode by episode. In order to see how I feel as the show goes on, to see what effect it has on me, & it's also an excuse to get myself practicing art in a cozy way. How so?

Okay let me break it down.

Every single episode will be watched & then have a blog post made discussing my thoughts on the episode, & along with that:

Each time I watch an episode, I want to draw an art piece to go with the post, so it'll get me drawing consistently & maybe I'll grow as an artist in the time it takes me to watch the whole thing.

When this show first came out, I was still stuck in my 'anti-sjw edgelord white boy' phase, I had yet to realize that I was bi & even less aware that I'm nonbinary. It was a dark period of my life. I passed on this show largely because I felt like I wouldn't be a good human or whatever. Well, I'm still depressed & sad but I'm much more matured & no longer in the garbage angsty idiot teenage white boy mindset I was once in. & Idk, I know this show means a lot to a lot of folks.

I want to see how it affects me, understand what made this reboot click with so many people, understand why there was a lot of idk, 'controversy' about it? Idk why but I know there was a lot of shit spewed & I guess I'll see what the fuss was about there.

And ultimately, look I think I'm repeating myself now so just:

I wanna take this journey. And I hope you will accompany me on this journey. Maybe by the end, I'll have grown, maybe you will too.

Grown both as an artist & as a person. So-

BY THE POWER OF-Wait, wait shit wrong show.

Ahem

FOR THE HONOR OF GREYSKULL....

I HAVE THE POWER (to watch a cartoon about some lady with a big sword who hits things really good with said sword)

I will be making a proper pinned post later that will keep track. So this is just the "hello" post I guess

Wish me luck, I hope you enjoy the journey.

Guys listen I need you to hear me out here:

I think I'm cooking rn with this I think I'm onto something with this one here y'all

Thank you to @ Anxiety_Problem for the idea

I want to stomp this cockroach into the fucking dirt (affectionately)

Here, have some Very NORMAL Darcy Drawings.

Captain Grimes has an existential & very gay crisis.

Old Man Yaoi but with frogs.

Idea received from this tweet.

Welcome back to AKC character introductions, today we have a character I didn't invent. I mean, I guess I gave her a personality??? Since we never see it??? But I didn't design her??? Eh.

Meet Mew Mew!

(Not to be confused with Mad Mew Mew)

Mew Mew is the leader of the magical girl group known as the Kissy Cuties. Her personality is very, very inspired off of Raku-chan. However, there are no squirrels in this story. Except for Nat. I never really considered this parallel before now.

I don't know what else to point out that hasn't been revealed by Alphys already (and won't spoil the story), but uhhhhh did you know she's the only member of the Kissy Cuties who retains her animal features outside of her magical girl transformation? Yeah, the others are normal humans who get ears and stuff when they transform. Mew Mew's normally just a cat girl. Blessing or curse, call it now.

Despite the lack of information I can share, she's one of my favorite characters to write. She's silly and whimsical and even more silly. I hope you like her, too.

I firmly believe that out of the three, Marcy is 100% the one that would swear the most.
