Daniel's She-Ra Watch-Along Blogging

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.
