This actually makes Cal a really good foil to his cousin. While Parnell seems soft he's actually pretty confident, and now we have Cal who acts tough to hide his insecurities.
Internalized homophobia is a really interesting topic that really needs to be delved into more, the topic of sexuality’s can be quiet complex and fun for viewers to pick apart, with what you’ve given us alone I have a ton of ideas
Internalized homophobia has become synonymous with straight liberal writers trying to talk about gay issues and failing miserably. I would rather said writers just give the story to queer writers who will hopefully be able to flesh out the concept more than just lazy hand-wringing that doesn't even address why internalized bigotry exists in the first place.
@@nicholasrodinos4701 Well, considering this show is written by trans people who are clearly bad at writing trans characters, ai think this is just a skill issue than anything else. A good writer would be able to get it well written regardless if they are or arent of the minority as long as proper research is done
@@seraphywang4638 I agree that anyone can write a well-written discussion of identity, especially with adequate research, the problem I have is that desperate attempt to map the bigotry onto an experience they won't have. A straight person isn't going to understand homophobia the way a gay person would (hell some gay people don't seem to understand how homophobia works), my point is that it runs the risk of people who have no understanding of an issue trying to talk about it. How many times have their been news stories with homophobic pastors where the comments are waiting for the guy to 'come out'? If anything it feels like a PC way to make gay jokes about homophobic people, and portrays the LGBT community's greatest enemies being internal ones rather than external ones. And before I hear the 'what about when gay people call homophobes gay?' That's a mixture of factors: 1 It's coming from a bit of schadenfreude and hypocrisy, but also a desire to be relieved because maybe they'll have more empathy than the regular homophobes. 2 It's humor trying to alleviate a very stressful situation. 3 While I disagree with outing people, there were groups that outed various anti-LGBT people who were secretly queer to make them end their hypocrisy and put them in the same boat, while it wasn't necessarily ethical it did help combat many anti-LGBT people. It definitely wouldn't work as well today where openly LGBT anti-LGBT bigots are a thing: Dave Rubin, Milo Yiannopoulos, Blaire White, Caitlynn Genner, Arielle Scarcella, Jamie Mitchell, George Santos, Brandon Straka, it's just they're usually too big to be impacted by whatever nonsense they're spouting. I can't understand the experiences of any number of social minorities but I can write a character who happens to be a minority, and while I can totally make references to elements unique to being that minority I also have to question if it's my place. I could write a Native American character who supports the Land Back movement but I'm not educated on that topic and it's not my fight, I'd be glad to help in that fight, but it's not mine. Sorry, this isn't meant to be accusatory or rambly it's just I wanted to get all my thoughts out.
@@nicholasrodinos4701 Ah very interesting. I myself am not really involved in seeing hate against LGBTQ+ people simply because the social atmosphere I was surrounded by wholeheartedly normalized it and no one really seemed to bat an eye so it was interesting hearing it from a different perspective.
Totally! People can be bigoted but nobody freaks out that hard to discovering somebody is a guy- people can be mean about it, even using slurs or insults. But cal showed way too much fear/ panic in that original scene lol Something is definitely up
It's really sad the show didn't have this much forethought and nuance, I honestly believe the show would be well-loved and received if it had someone like you on board
I'm actually super sad about this. We never see a lot of inclusivity in animation, and this could have been extremely great. But the show was written by people who hate men and don't think that trans men deserve to be appreciated as women. Imagine the intense and driven scenes we could have had, but nope, we have shitty lip syncing and bread PNGs.
@@genev37 I think the show has good writing for Snapdragon as she’s the most likable with Amaryliss included. The main characters are what suffer the most, that and how a lot of the episodes just leave things there for the next episode(the best one is one that actually RESOLVES the problem). I had high hopes for this show, even defended it once the teaser released, but it was a mere disappointment.
oh absolutely!! the show would be like 10 times better with someone that's got a CLUE what they're doing with plot and subplot between characters like Cal and Snap for example. I love the characters I just wish they did BETTER with the damn show... ;-;
Y'know, if further down the line he decides to actually try and talk things out with SD, I could honestly see Amaryllis just giving him the *Unblinking death glare of doom* Like giving the vibe of "You say one wrong thing to my bestie and that old funeral director costume will come in _veeerrrry_ handy"
Oh,so that's why. He's in denial. He's clearly in denial somehow and closeted. I mean that could explain why cal is so mean to snapdragon. He's in love with snap. Honestly,I think I prefer snapdragon as a feminine male though. And I hope cal apologizes to snapdragon.
yep i also think snap would be better as a feminine man because it’s way obvious they just made him (ima use he/him pronouns if it’s ok :]) trans because of the “hating all men” situation. and it would be a cute ship :D
if this was the canon reason of why he hates snap so much i bet they would have had cal say something like "i have a crush on him" to himself instead of something like this
"Magic washing machine IDK..." 🤣🤣 Honestly if any show had signs like this when they can't decide what something is, I'll applaud them 😂 Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he does like SD, but due to the society/culture he lives in, he's going down the mean route due to his insecurities like what most guys do since "emotions are for girls!" A good redemption and growth arc for him will be for the best in order to finally admits he's bi/pan and likes SD.
You think you could also remake that scene from episode 7 where the main cast makes fun of a girl (Zinnia) for having a panic attack? That scene always bugged me.
This makes more logical sense. Even works in the one thing I've mentioned in other videos that his only defense was that he was looking at snaps back and didn't id snap until snap spoke.
How can it be that in 1:34 minutes a character is more developed than the main characters of the original series? all the story boards you have done are very interesting!
I respect your theory but I have a counter one. What if it was like a culture shock for him? Ya know like Cal was raised in a family that had their gender roles or has a lot of strong brothers that he looks up to then sees Snapdragon in that dress as something that defies everything Cal was raised on.
every scene you touch or create is a massive improvement to the original If only the show had writers like yourself. seeing the quality of what you have done so far I can honestly say I cannot wait for what you are going to put out.
The part where he looks under the covers and gasped made me cackle once I realized what you were implying! I grin just thinking about how funny I find it.
Guys! JAMIE IS BACK FROM THE DEAD! But in all seriousness. This is amazing! I’m trying to watch High Guardian Spice, so when I finish the show and find out who Cal is, I’ll get back to this and edit the comment.
He just pulled a Rich from Be More Chill "OH MY GOD I AM TOTALLY BI" 💙💜💕 Keep up the amazing work :) Edit: I also had this realization lol I hope you have a wonderful day :)
This is really interesting! I like how you expanded more on why Cal is such a jerk since the show didn’t explore it and left him as a flat stereotypical bully. The nuance is great, and it leaves room for him to potentially grow as a character. It definitely could work with him just being transphobic because some people just are transphobic and can’t accept that gender is flexible and doesn’t need to conform to societal expectations, but I really like this interpretation as well! Nice work!
Honestly, this looks like a pretty excellent execution of the topic, and given we're already in the same waters with Snapdragon's character and themes, I think an exploration of how gender nonconforming behavior and presentation can cause people to re-evaluate or discover aspects about their personal preferences that they maybe not ready to confront is a good angle for the character. It gives the side-plot with Snapdragon a bit more body, we see how gender restricts the ways they're treated by their peers, see that outburst manifest itself with the frustrations of those expectations, see them begin to consider their options surrounding their gender and presentation, and re-evaluate some of the ways that others project onto them. While I think it can be a bit reductive to go to the "Bullying because crush" angle, I think it actually works really well here, and if the show had explored the themes of Snapdragon's identity in depth and honestly with better writing, I think this would have been a great angle to pursue. The devil is always in the details with writing, and I think you are continuing to breathe life into a show that doesn't really deserve your talents, but showcases the strengths that having actual plotting, character motive consideration, and consistent themes can do for a piece of media. HGS could have had a lot to say, it could have expressed a lot and done a lot by using it's magic high school setting to explore topics that most anime aren't really willing to delve into, at least not as explicitly as it's showcased in your storyboards. A+
I also like the idea that since Cal was probably raised in a family with traditional gender roles, maybe Snapdragon wearing a dress awakened something in him, I don't mean that he's trans, but maybe a cross-dresser
I considered this, but this is a world where two women can be married and out to everyone with seemingly no problem. Maybe there's a double standard? Or maybe his family pressures him to get a wife for some reason? And how are trans people viewed anyway? Would Snap transitioning make this more or less complicated?
I found this a bit too cliché. I would like it more if Cal bullied Snap because Snap makes him to remember of a younger, "wimpier" version of himself, who maybe allowed something really bad to happen to somebody he really liked... or because he was bullied A LOT for being emotional and "wimpy"... or because his father is the epitome of masculinity, maybe a hero, and he has a misguided idea of what it means to be a man (like Kanji Tatsumi, from Persona 4). But hey, kudos for you for giving more layers to a character meant to be only a strawman or "ToXiC mAsCuLiNiTy". Cliché or not, you're already doing a better job than the professional producers.
This woulda been so much better! I can see it now: Cal's redemption arc! Heroism! Actual friendship and character growth culminating in a confession! So much wasted potential!
This would actually work really well and would be a super interesting character arc and relatable for many people who deal with internalized homophobia so I really like this take on Cal’s personal life
Am I the only one who had some huge Anya x Damian vibes over here? The huge tsundere who is in denial of being in love and manifests it with bitterness instead of affection, come onnnnn 🥺
(Sigh) this show has so much potential, if it wasn't for its writing staff, wich is made of radicals and sexists, judging by what I've heard. Hopefully, someday will recognise this and put on a new team in order to give HGS a decent makeover.
Just a heads up, I don’t think ur linky thingy is working for your webcomic, I had to use the one from the last video to get it to show me your work. As always these are a delight and I hope I get to see more of your animations :)
Oh btw , I have a suggestion!!! Could you redo the few first EPISODE scenes like its either when Sage and Rosemary were having human/fantasy line traffic for the train? it always bothers me to make Roesmary likeable is not to show through the first few clips that she could do GOOD AND NOT TOO RECKLESS THINGS?!! They could probably skip the line to help the troll? stuck on the bridge or something..Or..the time when Rosemary is carelessly flipping her sword on I dunno tht elf girl..she said facts of her recklessnes..this time , she doesn't walk away and argue with Sage's defense..then , they both agreed to correct or atleast Rosemary's behaviour when using weapins?!!!
Not only does this add a lot more substance to his character, it doesn't feel as tropey and fake as when other productions try to do the "homophobic bully is actually gay" thing - tldr, this is really friggin good compared to anything seen on-screen, amazing job
ok but this would make so many other scenes work better, like him hitting on other girls such as sage so aggressivley. He's not actually into it and sees that as a problem since he's got conflicting thoughts. He's over compensating and trying to convince other, but most importantly himself, that he likes girls. It also really improves on the scene where he does accidentally hit on snap, if only he was less snooty about it there and more genuine since this "other girl" felt oddly similiar to snap. idk, does some work for things.
it would be beautiful if not for the authors who had to show that every man is bad only a guy who is good is trance and can I have your weebton profile or another page somewhere a writer your story I'd love to see them
I love this idea! The original show should’ve make SD and Cal gay but they choose to make Sage and SD instead. It would make the show a lot more interesting if they weren’t so bad, I love your work so much
You managed to make me see much more in a show that is terribly mediocre at best, and make a character who only served to say: "men suck" into something profound and at the same time very relatable. Bravo you have my most sincere good times and all my respect.

They could probably skip the line to help the troll? stuck on the bridge or something..Or..the time when Rosemary is carelessly flipping her sword on I dunno tht elf girl..she said facts of her recklessnes..this time , she doesn't walk away and argue with Sage's defense..then , they both agreed to correct or atleast Rosemary's behaviour when using weapins?!!!
I’m actually shipping them two rather then sage/Snapdragon, i live for this love story
ah...is this the legendary "TRAP" ?
yo a new Jamie de Jonge upload let’s go :)
Alright guess your just fixing this shitty show.
Im all for it!
Not only does this add a lot more substance to his character, it doesn't feel as tropey and fake as when other productions try to do the "homophobic bully is actually gay" thing - tldr, this is really friggin good compared to anything seen on-screen, amazing job
Mmmmm yes the mystical artifact call "the washing machine"
Cal and Aster should've had redemption arcs imo.
No way you made cal someone actually likable
Pls do more!
ok but this would make so many other scenes work better, like him hitting on other girls such as sage so aggressivley. He's not actually into it and sees that as a problem since he's got conflicting thoughts. He's over compensating and trying to convince other, but most importantly himself, that he likes girls. It also really improves on the scene where he does accidentally hit on snap, if only he was less snooty about it there and more genuine since this "other girl" felt oddly similiar to snap. idk, does some work for things.
Rewrite the sage and rosemary arguement or just the whole sage and rosemary thing going on in the autumn festival episode i forgot its name
0:22 he has done, the boom boom.
*heavy sigh*
In this essay, I will...
it would be beautiful if not for the authors who had to show that every man is bad only a guy who is good is trance and can I have your weebton profile or another page somewhere a writer your story I'd love to see them
Ahhh this makes so much senseeee
Fuckin magic washing machine beautiful

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH
Yea! some possible boy love action conflict! I love this!
People when they saw bullying: oh it’s because they’re in love!
🔥 burns boxer shorts
I hate watching your content. Because it makes me realize how good high guardian spice could have been.
I love this idea! The original show should’ve make SD and Cal gay but they choose to make Sage and SD instead. It would make the show a lot more interesting if they weren’t so bad, I love your work so much
hello? yes? this is great
You managed to make me see much more in a show that is terribly mediocre at best, and make a character who only served to say: "men suck" into something profound and at the same time very relatable. Bravo you have my most sincere good times and all my respect.
i got about 21 seconds into this and my gaydar went OFF bro omg 😭😭😭
This would be so damn funny
So if I made a rewrite based on these videos how would everyone feel?
@Akai_3.0 If you credit me I'll be fine with it. ^^
@jamiedejonge3982 Yea, 'course! What does everyone take me for (/j)? You deserve credit for this, keep up the good work and I'll let you know if I ever decide to write it
@@Akai_3.0 thank you so much! I'll look forward to your rewrite ^^
Cal discovering his own sexuality and maybe he came from an overbearing homophonic family
So Cl is written better as the guy INTO TRAPS or a tsundere? NEATO!!!
How dare you make me care about the characters!
I really like this ship more. Snapdragon is way tooo good for Sage.
And sage is sexist
girl you know how to make a rewrite plot better than a studio that decided to let all women do a show and yet it didn't do well ☺️😍
Also Me : [screaming in confusion]
Also×2 Me : do you support Ukraine 🇺🇦
Hahahaha thanks! Of course I support Ukraine!!
do you plan on original work?
@@afifahzacq2567 I have a webcomic I work on daily since I was 13 years old. You can check it out in the videos description if you like. :)
