Jedtavius, my beloved (aka Jedediah and Octavius scenes ft my stupid commentary)

These two were the blueprint, they actually invented romance itself and I have shipped them since I was too young to even know what shipping was, so I decided to give them what they deserve - a full compilation of all their scenes for all the other bitches who don't have the attention span to rewatch the movies just for their crumbs❤️

The way I see it, each movie represents a phase of their relationship. In the first movie, they are enemies for the most part of it but become friends near the end. That friendship continues and transitions into the second movie, where it grows stronger and ~maybe~ starts to become something else, at least for Octavius. And then we have the third movie, where they have a established and strong relationship as friends now but things are a bit "fuzzy" because of Octavius' feelings for Jed and Jed being completely oblivious of Oct's feelings (and maybe his own feelings) until he finally has to confront them (when Oct asks him to hold his hand for the first time). So, throughout the movie, Octavius tries to "make moves" on Jed, showing Jed (in a subtle but not so subtle way) that he has a crush on him, which Jed slowly acknowledges and processes by himself until near the end of the movie, where he finally takes Octavius' hand as a symbol of him accepting and reciprocating his romantic feelings. So, to simplify: First movie - enemies to -> Second movie - friends to -> Third movie - lovers. Did I just spent approximately 30 minutes analysing the homoromantic subtext in a children's franchise?

My personal head-canon is that they were exes and that’s why they hated each other. It seemed too personal for it just to be “we fight because we’re on different sides.” Neither of them seemed to dislike the other side it was more like they just butted heads with each other and there people followed them. Also saying kids are too young to understand that people can be gay is so dumb. I remember when I was a kid I was thinking oh yeah they’re gonna kiss and then when they didn’t I was so confused. 11:26 Of course they’re gay. They don’t know how to drive!

[@Tyler_Mills26]

@alessiacavalleri7833 so a flapjack is made with porridge oats, butter and golden syrup (and some other ingredients) baked in the oven. A biscuit is sweet, flat and CRUNCHY. If it's soft and fairly large it's a cookie. A scone can be either sweet or savoury and is made with self raising flour, butter and water. Then you'd add either your sweet items such as chocolate, sugar and extract or savoury items such as cheese. Mix it together and place balls of the dough on a baking tray. They'll then rise and can be eaten with butter, cream and jam for the sweet ones or just butter for the savoury ones. Personally I'd say don't eat a scone dry because your mouth will end up drier than the Sahara xxx

Or, alternately, in Sparta, basically a kidnapping. ETA: But Roman brides wore a spearhead in their hair or it was used as a sort of comb symbolically (there's a great video by Janet Stephens explaining and showing this) and maybe that came from the groom?

About the helmet being able to break the hourglass but no being thrown into the floor: it kinda has an explanation. Glass tends to break when applying a tiny point of pressure over its surface since it creates a lot of tension and pressure over only a tiny spot and the glass isn't able to re-conduct the energy tension created over the surface with enough time. That's why buses and any public transport vehicles that go through land have these tiny-ass pointy-ended hammers as the emergency tools to break the window glasses to escape from inside in case of an emergency like an accident :>

[@KryDraws]

[33:41] notice how Octavius just stood there quietly, assuming he’s stunned seeing Lancelot the first time? Literally the scene afterward he says “You’ll rue the day you mocked us with your huge sword and hypnotic blue eyes! ….His eyes are very blue.” It’s the epiphany of “oh no he’s hot…”
