"Just A Quick Sketch..."

"Just a quick sketch..."

It's now 4am.

Cedric's dark robe

I know the way Cedric's robe looks almost black is because of the animation, but I like to think that in fact, in season four he was starting to wear a darker shade of purple.

Like, the darkest shade of purple he could find because they wouldn't let him wear black.

He's in his emo phase.

Totally normal and sane sofia

It is, like something in the animation made things look a little darker than they were. It also happens to Roland's character. For some reason, in the darkest colors, the light that shines on them remains almost white and makes it look like that. It's weird.

Yes, I wasn't trying to say that Cordelia used magic on everyone to convince them, without a doubt it is thanks to the enormous effect that criticism had on him, as you say. Bad fame spreads easily even without magic for sure.

The bias blinded everyone about what they thought of Cedric.

Cordelia headcanon: Cordelia is magically charming.

So, I might have overanalyzed Cordelia's song a bit too much, and now I have an interesting headcanon about her.

This is also a kind of justification for why Sofia and Calista smile and dance with her throughout the song in "Through the Looking Back Glass"

1. Cordelia can enchant people.

I don’t know the exact English word to describe what I mean since I couldn’t find something similar, but I’m referring to Cordelia being magically charming to everyone.

Like a siren who seduces anyone with her beautiful voice, you know? Cordelia’s magic makes others more prone to like her. That’s more or less my headcanon.

Wouldn’t it be funny? While Cedric repels everyone around him, his sister attracts them easily?

I know this is referring to the way Cordelia always discredits him, but I thought it was illustrative. Furthermore, if her magic really made others like her more, it would also make them believe her more.

Well, that said, here’s my other idea.

2. Sofia and Calista were under her effect (A poor justification for the animation)

This point is quite doubtful, and it’s all a headcanon clearly, but the girls’ behavior during the song is a bit curious.

At the beginning, we see them worried about Cedric, and yes, they dance at the start too, but their faces show that discomfort.

It’s not until Cordelia lifts them with her magic that they start to smile and dance more cheerfully. I’m not saying that Cordelia bewitched them on purpose, no, what I’m saying is that her magic unconsciously has that effect on people.

When the girls move away from Cordelia, they seem worried again, and as soon as they get close to her again, they go back to smiling and being lively, as if being near Cordelia makes them do so.

I don’t know exactly if I’m explaining myself well, but I hope it’s understood lol.

Lastly, analyzing this, I was thinking about something else in the song.

3. Does Cordelia know about Cedric's attempt to usurp the throne?

This is more of a question for you rather than a headcanon or theory, what do you think? Does Cordelia know?

Because I find this part and the way she says it curious:

Because, objectively speaking, Cedric has never been in charge. Yes, he’s the royal sorcerer, but everyone knows that any authority that his position might carry is undermined and trampled by everyone.

It seems like an implicit way of saying she knows, I guess. Or maybe it’s my English failing again, but I think it can also be understood in the following way:

"With you in charge (as King), the place will end up a wreck"

It's another way of interpreting it I guess. Idk.

Well, I just found it interesting. It might also explain why she’s more aggressive this time with Cedric than in her previous appearance in "Gone With the Wand"

As always, happy to read any opinion on the matter!

Cedric would continue looking for the cure and Greylock would say something like:

"Maybe another kiss will help" and he's like:

Eventually Cedric would realize that the potion is a false, but he wouldn't mind playing along.

season 5 leak??????
