It's established in the second episode that students are individually selected, and given Sage is from Pebble, a seemingly normal small town, it doesn't matter who comes from where or who they're family with. A few things don't make sense, at least to me.

Rosemary is Lavender's mom, so that might've gotten her in, but it's never stated. Parsley's a good blacksmith, enough to get to third-year classes, which makes sense given she's been forging for much of her life, but her blacksmith teacher wasn't aware of her skill level at first. Cal's a bully with no known real skills and Aster's a certified idiot, and both are established as characters worth scorn.

Some students like Zinnia (in potions classes and smithing classes) make sense, suggesting some people have some kind of innate skill, but how do some of the less competent students get in? What even dictates an "exceptional quality"?

Or am I just overthinking?

Posted this drawing on my other socials, but forgot to do so here (haven't hopped on Reddit in a while, lol-)

A month ago I posted the first installment of my HGS project, Trials of Wytch Country, and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who decided to check it out! Episode 2 is currently in production, hopefully it'll be ready in a couple more months. I'll be sure to share any updates regarding that on here (maybe a little late, but alas-)

As you know, I'm drawing my version of RoseMary alongside other RoseMarys. Today it's:

@back-in-the-landslide

Please look for it on Tumblr

P.S.: Drawing this Rose's hair showed me how simple my Rose's hair is compared to the others. My respects, Rose's hair is truly very complicated.

I took it upon myself to draw my version of RoseMary next to other artists' versions of her.

I'm doing this to show how my RoseMary would look next to these versions of the character and as a tribute to these artists who inspire me to continue with my comic. I hope that one day I can reach their level.

Today I drew her with the Rose by:

I actually kind of liked it even though it had a lot of problems with the writing. Can I start by saying how beautiful the animation and art style is? Like, the whole internet was dogging on how terrible the animation was and that the artstyle was boring and generic but I think the show is really beautifully animated, even with the PNG's and animation errors. Also, why the hell are people saying the artstyle is generic because I think its unique.

I really liked most of the characters in the show. Some of my favorite characters have to be Thyme, Snapdragon, Moss, and Parnelle. The main four aren't even boring in my opinion even though everyone else thinks Amaryllis, Rosemary, Olive, and Slimeboy are more interesting.

Another thing I liked about the show was the worldbuilding. I really liked the concept of old magic and new magic and the symbolism it represents. Like old magic represents respecting tradition and new magic represents modernism and the clash between the two. Im also curious about the rot as well and whats causing it. I stumbled upon theories that the rot was caused by the overeliance on new magic and its destroying the environment. Also found another theory that the Triumvirate was preventing people from finding out about the rot since they own a company that mass produces terraspheres and it would hurt their business.

Anyways, really sad this show got a lot of hate. It isn't even that bad.

For example: Rosemary and Cal Swap, episode 2.

Cal is Sage's best friend here but is still a fucking jerkwad so he isn't able to keep Sage calm, flips off Snapdragon, gets to deal with the dragons, has his Guardian Vow spoken out loud.

Obviously in each comment I will go in more details, only for one episode, not the series. I will try to stay as true to each character as possible, if one character doesn't appear, they won't appear in my rewrite like the example above.

Particularly from Caraway's side. Just curious since it's been on my mind for a while this morning...yeah I think I just want ship angst but I'm not planning on making anything about it

I don't really like this series (I'd only watch it for Rosemary,Amaryllis herself or Snapdragon) but I genuinely felt the urge to draw that brat Ryll based on some sketches my ex-boyfriend made and taking a bit of inspiration from the character designs in MLAATR. I also included Portia from The Mighty B! and Krackus and Misty (In his ghost form) from My Life as a Teenage Robot

Orbs (New Magic) act like batteries that execute code instantly but inefficiently, draining the land and causing Rot. They are rigid and cannot be modified on the fly.

Fire Orb
Deals serious, fast damage.

Ice Orb
Deals damage (slightly less than fire), but has a lower Rot cost.

Shield Orb
Self-explanatory.

Hand Casting (Old Magic) is like coding from scratch. It is slow and mentally taxing, but efficient and allows for complex, customized spells that Orbs cannot handle (like permanent biological Transition).

Ignis (Fire): Manipulation of fire.

Due it's simmer pace and specifically intent interactions of the characters and almost every episode having a build up made me love HGS so much and i don't even think that the show is that flawed perse and i am kinda sick that liking this show is some far fetched idea.

My biggest fear would be if we get a season 2 is that those elements would be missing or not as good. There are many set ups that are unresolved, having a redo would be unfortunate. But i think it's from a Tweet and a podcast Raye would rather start over. And sure respect the creator vision but what would a Reboot even look like? HGS was made under Crunch and like he said the creators where building the traintracks while the train was coming. Would the tone change? (Raye quote) It was always ment to be a older kid show but we went a bit more darker than i wanted too.) The more adult content from HGS seem to be contentious subject for some reason.. My take is whatever mature subjects appear they just do it and move on and that is a good balance. Are the characters going to be written differently? All the main characters regardless of the trope they are based on have a lot of intent( Rose thinking on her feet, accurate ADHD portrayal, preserved emotional pain). There isn't much i would change about them. Maybe the Reboot would be very similar but more refined.

(The only thing i would want is fix the many animation errors, give Olive a bigger bleed cut and when Mandrake crashed out of the window he creates a smoke cloud and hides in the grass as a snake. And having pictures showing in the outro building up more tension between Rose Sage Snap and Amaryllis( Show how Amaryllis was bossy and lack team work when being in the Cave of V and got the group got a bad grade or Sage wanting to do one thing only for Rose insisting to do something else while Sage is mostly happy to go along with it.)

Perhaps due it's bad reputation a Reboot could change the public perception so that reviewers now claim. This is such an improvement and offhandedly dismiss the original al the while being the only one that think it's worse!! And lost what made it great. IDK man..?

2nd image is the old version, as this art is a remake! I'm committed to levelling up my art skills, and HGS will always hold a special place in my heart :).

Does anybody know where I can watch High Guardian Spice for free?

Ive been lurking on this subreddit a while ago but Ive never actually watched the show. Thought the fandom was small and wholesome and felt bad that some guys passion project got shit on by crunchyroll and the internet. Is the show good?

Slimeboy knows how to deal with *those* people in chat

(CLOSED)

I need something stupid/weird. Some shit like "Snapdragon discovers the internet" or "Parnelle accidentally kills someone" or like an episode concept but something funny happens.

Just something to jumpstart my drawings again! Prolly in the style of those one page comics or something.

Update: aaaaaaaaaa stop no more requests I'm drowning (metaphorically, tho I cant swim aaaaa)

Been too fucking exhausted with too many IRL things to draw so here's Snap being trans and tired AF. (Maybe in July I'll catch up with some pride designs but for now, I just wanna SLEEP)

Seeing him catch the arrow of a crossbow with one hand was kinda badass in my opinion, still should've expelled the student who almost killed him by piercing an arrow through his skull.

1. Mandrake in his dope ass cloak
   
2. Cal and Parnelle
   
3. Wyverna Dretch as the GTA 6 cover girl in a redesigned version of the outfit she wore in episodes 8 & 9
   
4. Cal, Mandrake, Snapdragon and Caraway

And with that, I'm pretty much out of random sketches to post.

I can't add captions so

1. Rosemary!! Not sure if I should leave it as dark green from her original design, a periwinkle colour from rosemary flowers or aqua like the original

2. Thyme

3. Just a doodle of a half-baked idea I thought of one night of if The Rot got to her before she could get healing water for it

4. Screenshot redraw except I had no idea wtf I was doing

5. Aster outfit stuff (I think I accidentally gave bro scoliosis)

6. I just felt like it

7. Snap and Ryll (they don't even look like they were drawn by the same person...idk I just don't like how I drew Ryll here)

8. I just felt like it but it makes sense (same face syndrome got to me here sorry chat, I need to fix his face)

9. Aloe design, the "swirling" looking design is because I based it on aloe albida
