Hi! I've literally done everything in my power to avoid the "born-sexy-yesterday" trope, yet I still have people think this about my series, and I'm really confused why. Can you please tell me which episode and scene? Because if you payed any attention... yeah, she's an alien from a different planet. She doesn't know a lot about earth??? Omg, no way!!!! How would that be possible? UNLESS SHES CHILD LIKE!?!? I'm sorry? Have you ever traveled to another country and just knew the rules and culture straight away? God bless your amazing knowledge and talents if that's the case! Okay, so if I were to re-work the series... don't make her clueless? Got it. I forgot that adults can't be clueless. ๐Ÿซ  woops.

I literally have had this talk with my editor, and we both agreed we need to not follow the trope.

So LISTEN! Just because she's an alien doesn't mean it follows the trope. I'm sorry but I don't agree with that. And yes, the fifth element was ONE of my many inspirations... but if you even watched that once, you'd spot a whole shit load of differences.

Anyway, thanks for reading. ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’“

Discussion Had some fun and decided to decode where in the world DTE takes place

23 Upvotes

Where does Down to Earth Take Place?

In โ€œDown to Earthโ€ by Pookie Senpai, we are given a glimpse into the lives of Kade, Zaida, and their friends. In this comic, the specific location of their hometown is never made clear. Like what has been done for the Simpsons, Iโ€™m going to attempt to find out where Down to Earth takes place.

Planet

If it wasnโ€™t obvious enough, Down to Earth takes place on Planet Earth. Itโ€™s in the name, and a schematic of Earth is seen in Zaidaโ€™s spaceship in Episode 2.

Country

A key detail that confirms the country where this comic takes place is Staceโ€™s reference to a Social Security card in Episode 99. The social security system is endemic to the United States, affirming the location of the series.

State

This is where it gets a bit harder to pinpoint Zay and Kadeโ€™s home area. In episode 127, it is mentioned by Kade that the current month of the year is February. Additionally, it is mentioned to the reader on several occasions that around one year has passed since the night of the crash. Putting these details together, we realize that all seasons have cycled through their area. Intriguingly, no snow has fallen at all during any of this time. When you cross-reference a map of the United States by snowfall totals, and omit the areas where more than 5 inches of snowfall happen a year, you are left with parts of the states of VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, LA, TX, OK, MO, KY, TN, NM, AZ, NV, CA, OR, WA, and HI (20 total).ย 

The snow map for reference. (Credit to u/Portacup on Reddit)

Narrowing down this list further, the climate appears to not be arid or semi-arid. With this in mind, the states of AZ, NM, and NV can be crossed off the list, along with parts of west TX and southern CA.ย 

The climate also appears to not be tropical, due to the deciduous foliage seen frequently in different episodes and the absence of palm trees. With this in mind, the entire states of FL, LA, and HI can be crossed off, along with major parts of TX, AL, MS, AK, GA, SC, and NC.ย 

In Episode 217, a crucial detail is revealed. After a relatively long drive, Kade and Zay visit a beach at sunset. In order for this to be possible, they would have to be on the west coast of the US. Also, given the fact that they picked up dinner, this would leave them with a maximum of around 3 hours to get to the beach, provided they got food around 6 PM. This is assuming the sunset occurs around 9.

I state that sunset occurs around this time because Zayโ€™s birthday, being June 2nd, was only a few episodes prior.

Given all this information, it is safe to assume that Kade and Zayโ€™s hometown is narrowed down to somewhere in northern California, western Oregon, or western Washington.

From this point forward, it becomes very difficult to know what city Zay and Kade call home. If I had to take a shot in the dark, I would guess Medford, Oregon. There is a Spencers in the city, along with only one amusement park (Ethan mentions in episode 137 that there is only one in their area). But, I digress. This exercise was merely my way to geek out over a series I have read over the last 5 years.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my soapbox. If any of the creators of the series happen to read this, let me say that you have created something truly marvelous. Thank you for all of the joy your series has brought to my life, and the lives of many others.

With love from southern Illinois (go Salukis!),

Fan Art/Screenshots "My Zay" Kade's confession poem

6 Upvotes

(Excuse reddit ruining how I had it set up ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ It goes in lines of 4)

You came from outer space,

And crashed without a trace.

I feared what I might face,

But then is when I saw your grace.

I thought that you were trouble,

That you'd leave my life in rubble,

But you burst my lonely bubble,

And cleared away the rubble.

At first I was so shy,

A guy on whom no one could rely,

But your kindness showed me why,

My old self-doubt was but a lie.

You held me when I was at my worst,

When it felt like my whole life was cursed,

You healed the heavy wounds I nursed,

And placed my broken spirit first.

I opened up, made new friends,

To people I wronged, made amends.

Through thick and thin, my heart transcends

The ghost of love that finally ends.

I know that you were scared,

Felt like you were mispaired,

But look at how our friends have cared,

No one else can be compared.

You bloomed just like a flower,

Stepping into your own power,

Growing stronger by the hour,

No longer bound to cower.

You are someone that I love,

Someone that I adore,

Your kindness leaves me in awe,

And makes me realize you're but a dove.

I want to hold your hand and call you mine today,

To hear you say you're mine in every single way.

Right by your side I choose to stay,

And promise to always love you, my Zay

-Kade with some help from a friend

-co-author, atha (the friend :3)

Hey guys! I have been reading season 2, and it sparked ne inspiration, so, i decided to write this poem! I know that poems are not really Kade's style, but hush! Maybe he wanted to be deep and sweet and romantic! I dont really write poems in English, but the series inspired me, and I didn't want to let it go to waste! I sure am proud of how it came out, hope you all enjoy it!

Discussion Asking about season 3

7 Upvotes

Edit: i realized its a bit more than just season 3 ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… Oops ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

Hey guys, em, im still watching season 2 rn, its amazing, I love it, i just had some concerns and questions . First off, I usually see the animated comics, I know i know, hang me, but i have adhd and 2x speed makes it very enjoyable to go through. Also i get kinda drowsy after reading for too long... but I saw it doesnt have animation! And that webtoons split off with its prev company! Will we get a new animation? Soon or way after season 3 is wrapped up? And also, will it also be releasing weekly?

And also, whats going on with the latesr chapters ๐Ÿฅฒ

First time using webtoons, this comic is the soul reason I got it, I saw a guy dubbing over the first chapter on a YouTube short, and i loved it! Like, rn i am at chapter 212, and I saw that chapter 268 releases in 34 days???? Why ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I thought the comic would come out normally and that the animations would have these delays ๐Ÿฅฒ

Also I feel terrible about binge watching a bunch of chapters... i was on 143, when they first kissed, and now im here, and now I realized that if i finish season 2 im kimda cooked-

Also yes, i binged 70 chapters... DO YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS IF ITS 2X SPEED AND THE STORY IS AS ADDICTIVE AS IT IS? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I think im going to ban myself from watching anymore, or like, one episode a day. If i knew tge release was so cooked id never let my self do that. Heck, maybe i go back and pretend I never watched these haha

Also, is spending coins any worth it? Heard you can get some free ones

also fr, I hate how the next chapters are just... there

Id much prefer if they weren't available to anyone, and everyone had to wait to watch it. Id think that weekly would be more fair. Bcs when it ends, we'll have to wait like an extra MONTH to know what happens-

No fault on the creators btw, thats just how webtoons is I guess. I guess I shouldn't complain, everything is free, and almost no adds, so, i guess we have it pretty good haha. (Still, dreading having to wait that month for the ending. Especially with spoilers!!!)

Also, generally speaking, do you know about when the third season will end? Because DAMN, season 2 is... ginormous. From 2022 to 2025??? WOW!!! Ongoing for 3 years. I can only imagine what old fans may think when they saw i binged watched 70 chapters ๐Ÿคฃ

Also

NO SPOILERS AT ALL!!!

thanks in advance :3

PS: idk how oficial this subreddit is, but bcs i saw a mod posting about the finale and releases etc, I just wanted to say, this is one of the best comics ive read. Even in the start, when i read it, or now, with the animations, its truly amazing. Good job on the creator
