can we just...admire the way Barley looks at Ian being the proud older brother/father figure that he is for a sec?
Tumblr media
and not just ANY time!!
but like...the times when Ian's not looking...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm a big nerd when it comes to great composition and I just love this!
it's small details like these that really add to the big awesome build up that Barley has been looking out for Ian all along!

Onward's 3rd Anniversary - A (Long) Self-Reflection Post
Tumblr media
three years. three gosh darn years old. you're not allowed to be three years old, onward.
the world has obviously changed a lot since this humble pixar film came into my life. when it released, i was an 18-year-old in senior year of high school, and now i'm a 21-year-old junior in college. animation has changed a whole lot, and has been challenged by the perpetrators of the stigma more than ever. and for me...well, there have been a ton of developments in just these past several months.
for two and a half years, this film was my entire life. it was the only thing i thought about. i created tons of art and stories to expand upon this universe that deserved more love. i adored and connected with the characters...i hadn't quite related to a pixar film this much. i connected with the depiction of loving siblings, the emotions, the fantasy world...i've adored animated films before, but not to this extent.
and despite the film's unfortunate reputation - viruses, lawsuits, lesbian cops and all - i wasn't alone in my love. there was a small group of people on this very website who shared my love for this underrated gem, and we came together to create amazing things. we lifted each other up during dark times, and while things weren't always perfect, we powered through.
what's so unique about this particular anniversary is that this is the first one where i'm not active in the fandom. in fact, i'm not the only one who's inactive - most of my friends have also moved on to other things. but our love never went away. if my love went away, i wouldn't be writing out this post. but i'll be honest - i tried to draw a fanart last night, and i couldn't put anything on that procreate canvas. and it breaks my heart because i wish i could put out something like fanart today. but given my business with other fandoms, this post will suffice.
my one major goal i had in this fandom was to complete at least one season of my fanmade series. and that i did - my series was loved throughout this small fandom and seeing the reactions every time i posted an episode warmed my heart. on onward's 2nd anniversary - one year ago today - i completed the first season and started preparing for the second one. by the end of may i began scripting, and i was really getting in the groove...until late june.
something started feeling off by the end of june. i didn't want to admit the possibility of my onward hyperfixation waning, but that's what it felt like. it felt like the magic was being sucked from me. i blame lightyear partially for this; the film was so underwhelming that it soured pixar a little bit for me, and between that and dreamworks coming back with banger movies again, it made me stop paying attention to disney for a bit. i began looking back at older fandoms again.
july and august came and went, and while i still had a bit of onward motivation in me, it wasn't enough to continue writing. i did all i could - but nothing would bring it back up.
then i started junior year of college on august 22nd, 2022. a few days before, the whole warner discovery HBO max fiasco went down, and put the future of TAWOG - one of my old special interests - in jeopardy. while that special interest was a in a dark place...the youtube channel of the special interest i had directly before disney/pixar/onward hit one million subscribers.
in the 2010's caddicarus fandom, the prospect of him hitting one million subs felt like a legend. something that wouldn't really happen. back when i came along in 2014, he was projected to hit one million in 2017, as this was his peak in popularity. but as time went on, that 1 million goal moved further and further away as jim kept steering the channel into its demise. he had no self-awareness and felt he had to grind and pop out videos like rabbits to keep his numbers up...which, if you were a fan at the time, you probably knew was not true. the videos lost their quality and magic...and, funnily enough...i lost my patience on march 7th, 2019.
i unsubbed that day, but i'd been irritated with the channel's output for a while before that.
of course, if you know me, you know the story - exactly one year later, i saw onward in theaters with my sister and my life was changed. after a year of changing between many different fandoms - jontron, game grumps, seeing TAWOG for the last time before its finale, vinesauce, ducktales - pixar was now my new special interest home. the subsequent lockdown was a time where i produced tons of edits, fanarts, and fanfiction experiments.
on the caddicarus side of things, jim almost shut down the channel in late 2019 as his numbers were at their absolute worst. after having an epiphany at a convention in january 2020, he completely shook up his content style, and his channel was suddenly rejuvenated, bringing him the largest figures in the channel's history. before 2020, every caddicarus video gaining a minimum of 1 million views was completely unheard of, let alone none of the videos being under 30 minutes.
what's so ironic is that caddy began making banger videos again around the same time i got with onward. and yet i completely refused to watch them. i knew what was going on, i knew people were saying the newer videos were better. but i couldn't make myself watch them.
i had actually tried to come back for my 7th anniversary in august of 2021 - fun fact, my caddica-versary is august 21st, one day before august 22nd, aka what's now 1 million sub day - but i had just committed to my onward series, and i couldn't have another interest interrupting me.
so another year passes, and we're back at august 2022. i watch caddy cross over to 1 million subs, and it doesn't feel real at first.
i didn't immediately return to the fandom, but i knew in my mind that i needed to go somewhere as my onward hyperfix was thinning.
so what's the last thing i create in the onward fandom? do i draw an elaborate fanart? do i put out at least one episode of the second season i'd been hyping and pushing back for months? do i tease even more OCs and episode ideas? do i put out another chapter of that other fanfic i was writing? or a one-shot?
...on august 28th, 2022, the last things i ever created in the onward fandom were these two fortnite dancing gifs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this reminds me a lot of alex lasarenko and his disney channel jingle. he's created a lot of breathtaking orchestral pieces - and yet the thing he's most known for are those four notes that have been used on the disney channel for over 20 years. for me and onward, the thing i go out on are these two silly gifs...and honestly? i don't mind that.
the following friday, i finally began watching the 2020-present caddicarus videos...and it was like falling in love with the channel all over again. i love both the original and current runs of the caddicarus show for completely different reasons - but the current run is the one i rewatch, quote, and remember the most of. because it's actually amazing.
needless to say, i resubbed that night, and i could comfortably call myself a caddicarus fan again.
something very funny about this is whole thing is that caddy says the word "onward" a whole lot. like, a whole lot. on interviews and streams, he usually brings up how new fans should only watch his videos from 2020 onwards. in his video talking about his merch box, he says the jokes and references within the box are from his videos from 2020 onwards.
it's like pixar had been sending me a subliminal message this whole time - onward (2020) came out just as caddy's videos became the best they've ever been. pixar was basically telling me "hey, caddy's moving onward too, so you should give his newer stuff a try and stop thinking he's living in the past".
here we are at onward's 3rd anniversary, and i'm still waiting for my caddicarus blu-ray to arrive. it'll be the first caddicarus merchandise i'll be able to hold in my hands and cherish - back when i was a teen, i couldn't just ask for caddicarus T-shirts as my parents couldn't find out that a swearing youtuber was my big special interest. and now, when that box arrives, i will have merchandise of all the major special interests i've had. i'd finally added the missing piece to the puzzle - or maybe for this case, a missing brick in the wall, or... the last check on the bucket list...
Tumblr media
...and i've never felt more complete.
thank you pixar. thank you onward. thank you dan scanlon, kori rae, tom holland, chris pratt, literally everyone who made this movie a reality. no matter how much it's overlooked, memed on, dogged on, etc., there are people who adore this film for what it is and the emotions it has brought. it has helped me with many of my personal struggles, and to this day it stands as a glowing reminder that we should all strive to keep moving onward.
so, with all that said, keep putting it in O my friends. because you'll never be ready if you don't try.

The Little Lightfoot (The Little Mermaid)
Synopsis: Think you know the story of Disney's The Little Mermaid? Imagine a crossover take on the original 1989 animated classic full of fantasy magic, a superhero family, sea monsters, a heroic manticore, dancing pop trolls, a hot-headed Boogeyman, giant mystical red pandas...and one teenage elf in an Ariel-like role. In another time and another place, Iandore Lightfoot (Ian) is a shy, awkward teenage elf who lives in a fantasy realm full of wonder and magic with his mother Laurel, his older brother Barley, his pet dragon Blazey, and his good friend, young sea monster-turned-human boy Luca Paguro. But when he had a strange dream of himself being human, Ian can't help but wonder what it means - even if it meant wondering what life would be like beyond his home. Then one day, when Ian and Luca heard strange noises coming from outside the wall, they discovered a vast modern-day city full of humans and the convenience of modern-day technology and appliances. There, it's love at first sight when Ian spies a typically shy, insecure teenage human girl named Violet Parr hanging out with her school friends, Meilin “Mei” Lee, Miriam Mendelsohn, Priya Mangal, and Abby Park, at a party when there was a dangerous accident forced the partygoers to evacuate. When Ian helped Violet escape and saved her life, he promised that they’ll meet again someday, thus Violet began falling in love with him. Falling in love with Violet, Ian knew full well that his life was about to change forever, as did Luca when he also finds love in the form of Meilin during that experience. But the possibilities of romance are utterly hopeless and impossible when the boys got caught visiting the human world, thanks to Barley accidentally spilling the beans about Ian's secret love, leading Ian and Luca to a confrontation with their families. Vowing to find a way to be with Violet and the lures of the human world proving too strong for him, Ian ran away and did the unthinkable: He made a risky deal with Pitch Black, who offers him a chance to become human. But Pitch Black had other wicked plans of his own because he’s full of tricks and nightmares. He's secretly using Ian as a pawn in his plan to rid the fantasy realm of the Manticore, the once former great warrior who sealed him away eons ago. With the help of two siren helpers, Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze, Pitch Black plans to rule everything. So, in Hades and Ursula style, the Boogeyman himself made Ian human when the love-struck elf traded his magical gift. Now turned into a human (Tom Holland/Peter Parker (MCU)), Ian meets up with Violet and learns more about the outside world full of humans. Luca joins in on the fray as well, wanting to win the love of Meilin Lee. Soon, Ian and Luca find themselves on a journey of self-discovery (with Barley, Branch the over-cautious pop troll, and Sid the sloth in tow) as they face the challenges of being human, like meeting the family and experiencing school life. Despite the fun experience and romantic times, Ian and Luca aren’t so sure...that they want to go home after all! But knowing that Pitch Black can’t be trusted while learning about his manipulations, it will take Ian’s courage to save the human world and the fantasy world from his devious plans...while building a strong connection with Violet. Can Ian, Luca, and their friends, old and new, outwit Pitch Black and his two sirens? Is there more to the human world, Violet, and Meilin Lee than it meets the eye? And will Ian and Luca realize their love for Violet and Mei…and be human forever? The unforgettable and inspiring tale of Walt Disney’s beloved, award-winning animated film, The Little Mermaid, gets a crossover reimagining makeover, featuring characters from their respective companies.

Cake Drop
Tumblr media
Here is a hilarious artwork of Ian accidentally dropping the cake for his family, and suddenly Dewdrop, the leader of the Pixie Duster's gang, came flying out of nowhere and lashes out at Ian, thinking Ian dropped the cake that wasn't even theirs.
Weird and not so great idea for this, I know. Thinking of something random ^^; I just love this movie x3 did this days ago at school and finished I believe Tuesday ^^
What y'all think?

Here’s my note before I’ll get started….
(NO COPYING OR PLAGIARIZING FROM ME AND ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIEND’S WORK! THAT INCLUDES OUR CHARACTERS, DESIGNS, STUFF, ETC. IMPOSTERS AND SEXBOTS ARE NOT WELCOME TO FOLLOW MY BLOG WHATSOEVER! 😡 That will be all….I mean it.)
On This Day - Mar. 7th, 2020
That time where I had those delicious pancakes from my sisters made. Though I also talked about where I went to Cinemarks from yesterday; even if we’re supposed to go mini golfing. *Shrug*

Abundant adventures await you here in Swynlake! Tales of magic, friendship, and mystery. What stories will you weave?
Ariel Triton (Ariel, The Little Mermaid) - Be careful, Ariel. Don’t do this, Ariel. Act like this, Ariel. You get it! You know the rules already! Will you ever get a chance to just live without your father and sisters’ watchful eyes?
Rosetta Petalpot (Rosetta, Disney Fairies) - Ask any pixie in Pixie Hollow who the sweetest fairy in the whole hollow is, and Rosetta Petalpot would be a top poll answer. You’re a ray of sunshine, flitting between the hollow and the human town around it to shine. You love living in two worlds! Can you convince the shier fairies that the human town is worth exploring, and show humans that fairies are cool?
Jimmy Ling (Ling, Mulan) - Can't anybody take a JOKE anymore? Oh, brother, apparently not. Yet again, CANCEL culture rears it's ugly head. Now you have to relocate to Swynlake so you can #learnbetterdobetter. And maybe learn you were actually wrong?
Barley Lightfoot (Barley, Onward) - Magick history is your passion! No, genuinely! However...do you have additional motives behind your interest in Swynlake's magical sites and lore specifically?
Pascal Chaplin (Pascal, Tangled) - What good is a gift if you can’t share it with others is your philosophy! While you enjoy changing up your look at will, nothing makes you happier than running your little tattoo shop in town and giving a piece of your gift to others. Color changing tattoos! How wonderful! What will you create next?
Wilbur Robinson(Wilbur, Meet The Robinsons) - When your parents are Cornelius and Franny Robinson, everyone expects greatness out of you, especially yourself. Nothing is more frightening than being average– can you prove you’re anything but?

Lightfoot Brothers Crying Appreciation Post
Fair warning: this is a sad elf boi zone! 🥹 😢 😭
All the times (I think?) Ian and Barley teared up or got close to tearing up ⤵️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of my favorite parts about Onward is the fact that both the boys CRY
If you never got this memo before in your life, here it is right now: IT IS PERFECTLY ALRIGHT TO CRY!
seeing Ian and Barley tear up on screen made me, well, happy cry I should say lol...because really, crying means you're feeling something and every person in every universe is valid to have feelings!
so I'm grateful that Pixar makes sure that not only we, the audience, cry and have feelings, but to also have their characters cry and have feelings too
once again: representation matters 😉
Notice how this all takes place in the second half of the film, on the second day of their quest, and that Ian tears up a little more calmly/quietly than Barley does...I never really noticed that before but that's so interesting! And it totally fits their characters to a T!
it's little things like this that just make me love the movie even more with every rewatch and every detail scout! 😄

Might as well jump into the Heartstopper redraw trend! Here you have my Onward oc Aurelia and her girlfriend Amélie! I definitely see a few characteristics Aury and Amy share with Nick and Charlie. In this case, Amélie loves to involve Aurelia in everything, even video games.♡♡♡

Onward to Critical Role Synopsis: Swords, sorcery, and even role-playing about to get real as elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (and their van, Guinevere the Second) from Disney and Pixar's Onward are pulled from their home town of New Mushroomton, traveling through time and space, and land smack-dab right into the far-off realm of Exandria, the epic world of Critical Role, full of real magic, real epic adventures, and real wizards, bards, and much more.
But getting back home won’t be so easy as Ian and Barley strive to make sense of this strange new world that may or may not be any similar to Barley’s favorite historically role-playing board game, Quests of Yore.
Soon, Ian and Barley find themselves face-to-face with the unlikely, boisterous, ragtag crew of misfits and adventurers known as Vox Machina – comprised of twin half-elf siblings Vex'ahlia “Vex” Vessar and Vax'ildan “Vax” Vessar; gunslinger Percival “Percy” Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III; cleric Pike Trickfoot; half-elf druid Keyleth of the Air Ashari; gnome bard Scanlan Shorthalt; goliath barbarian Grog Strongjaw; and their giant grizzly bear, Trinket.
At first, Ian was a bit off by the wild behavior of this rowdy group, but he and an excited Barley are joined by Vox Machina as they have been dragged into a saga full of strange, epic dangers, magical surprises, and even dark forces…if they ever want to get back home in one piece, that is.
Inspired by and in the tradition of the Supernatural crossover episode, Scoobynatural, Onward to Critical Role is an unexpected crossover you never thought you wanted. If you’re a fan of Onward, Critical Role, or perhaps BOTH, this is the one!
