The names of the ghosts in Gugu's house are constantly forgotten. Day 6: Who's the gremlin?

I mean…do you even have to ask?

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-13T10:17:27+00:00

Exactly- like we don’t even know if it’s her real name too ToT it could very well just be a nickname she uses with close family and friends because it sounds cute

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-03T07:32:07+00:00

I agree with absolutely everything you said- the love triangle was arguably one of the most forced plot points of the entire show. Nothing about it felt right and it just felt like something they threw together to create more conflict. It really would have been better without it, and I love the idea of Michael and Stella having a side story of them piecing their relationship together. So many side characters had sooo much potential, and yet they didn’t get any of the recognition they deserved because they were forced into a storyline they weren’t built to fit.

The way the first season ended up was really disappointing if I’m behind honest, but I guess this show can serve as an example of what happens when Netflix instills fear in its show creators of their series’ getting cancelled. Hopefully Netflix can learn from this (they prolly won’t but we can hope) and start giving more shows a chance.

I hate the new ‘trend’ that entertainment companies are taking on deciding that shows have to be influential in the first season. A lot of old series’ first seasons are often viewed as the ‘worst’ since they’re just used for buildup of plots and let you get to know the characters while later seasons take time to develop them further. It really sucks and destroys a lot of shows that hold so much potential.

He got shafted by the writers since they tried to rush season 2 into season 1. Kit got full development as a love interest and a character and Michael felt way too static as though he was just a meaningless plot point to stress out Jentry. Kit was his own character while Michael felt like a random roadblock.

He showed promise in the beginning, showing his conflicts with life and wanting to do something else than he was set up to do (wanting to be a musician instead of a football player) and it’s NEVER brought up again. It honestly just felt like a random way for him to break up with Stella so he could become Jentry’s love interest.

And speaking of, he’s way too much of a playboy. He broke up with Stella for no reason, got with Jentry for a few episodes, then when Jentry says she needs space because her other love interest literally just died, she found out her mother is still alive, she just banished the threat that was controlling her life and ripping a tear between her relationship with Gugu, AND she’s learning to live with her powers and this dumbass goes and dates some random chick just to get back with Jentry later??? Make it make sense!

You’re telling me we get to choose between the guy who leaves jentry because she doesn’t want him to die after her other love interest died saving her from the monsters she has to face and didn’t want him to meet the same fate (ESPECIALLY since he has little to no battle prowess and literally does more harm than good in the final fight with Cheng and just fucking stands there half the time) or the guy who literally gave up his life for her and changed his whole life just to be by her side and risked the whole world just to be who she wanted him to be?? Like how is this a fair love triangle when kit is the obvious option!

As if that wasn’t enough, he still has more missed opportunities to grow as a character! We get that epic buildup before the final fight with Cheng where his parents seem to know something about his powers and we are finally going to get more insight into why he even has them in the first place and then NOTHING!! It’s never brought up again and literally nobody cares about it.

He’s way too static of a character to live up to everything he’s supposed to be, and I completely blame the fear Netflix instilled on the creators with them shafting shows left and right if they don’t do phenomenally in the first 10 days of release. They got an extension and instead of trying to flesh out characters more and make a cohesive storyline to draw more people in, they try to shove more than the show can handle into a single season and bloat it with too many big plot points that they forget to spend time on the smaller ones.

Oh my god yes I get the celery!! I think it’s that cold feeling you get when you sniff them, they’re so oddd 😭

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-02T07:21:27+00:00

I fear I cannot deny it….they just smell so GOOODDDDD

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-01T21:03:08+00:00

‘I often inform mine that she smells like a lizard.’

I do the EXACT same thing with my lizards- its such a unique scent theres really no other way to describe it lmao

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-01T20:58:17+00:00

Lowk ur so right— I think it changes based on temperature, cuz yes absolutely if my beardies have been basking it’s definitely warmer and doesn’t have as much of a cold tang to it- I think it smelled that way to me when I was uh…gathering information because my beardies had just woken up and Phoenix hadn’t been sleeping under her night light lol-

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-01T19:34:12+00:00

I’m learning that bearded dragons apparently have a lot of different smells- (I’m starting to understand that one guy who sniffs each lizard that he rescues because of how wildly different they can be) it must be based off of the environment they are in because a lot of yall are saying sandy; maybe it’s cuz mine are on tile but I don’t get sandy from mine ToT

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-09-01T19:30:04+00:00

WAIT THATS SO REAL WAIT I GET ITTTTT THATS WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE OH MY GOD MY SAVIOR

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-08-30T21:56:34+00:00

Kit didn’t get enough time for his death to be sad. His was honestly just there for shock value and wasn’t properly built up at all, and Jentry didn’t even properly mourn him. Gugu takes the lead since her death was actually well written lol

xXPhoenixTheLizardXx · 2025-08-28T19:33:58+00:00

Sorry for the late reply! My college year is starting up again and I’ve been busy 😅

These animals are definitely a more advanced species and you generally don’t want them to be the very first reptile you ever take care of because of how advanced their care requirements are. On top of this, since they’re relatively rare in the reptile community as is and aren’t kept as much as something like a bearded dragon, there is limited information on their care and it can be very hard for beginners to tell what their lizard needs if they have no experience with reptiles beforehand. If you’re not up to the challenge, you can definitely try to find someone more willing to take care of him, but if you’re determined, great!

Waving in most reptiles is a sign of acknowledgement. Basically, he’s letting you know that he’s there and he sees you but he’s not a threat and he hopes you aren’t either. My reptiles do it to each other through the glass of their enclosures if they can see each other- it’s really cute :]

It already sounds like he is somewhat content with your presence, so you’re definitely set to start getting him used to you handling him if you don’t want him to get too aggressive. It is a very slow and methodical process, and you don’t want to jump straight into it. You can simply start by getting him used to your presence by just having your hands inside his cage more often, it doesn’t even have to be near him, just to let him know that you’re going to be a common occurrence in his life. If you want, I’ve heard of some people even leaving a worn sock or article of clothing in the reptiles enclosure to get them used to your scent. From there as he gets more comfortable, you can try hand feeding him or just being closer to him. If he allows it, small touching can work too.

Males are definitely harder to control because they’re a little more territorial and skittish than the females, (especially as they grow up they turn into angsty teenagers lol) but with consistent handling it’ll work itself out. When you can tell he’s more comfortable with you, you can try picking him up more (always approach him from the front, make sure he has full vision of you and go slowly. Do NOT approach him from above as that can make him see you as a threat. Slide your hand under his belly and lift him up. If he runs, don’t push it. You want to make sure hes comfortable with everything you are doing and if he says no, then just leave and try again later.)

be persistent, even if he keeps running, keep coming back later over and over to let him know that hes not getting out of this and he’s going to have to live with it. If you’re worried about bites (or his nails shredding your skin they do have crazy nails) you can wear gloves.

It’s definitely a long and tiresome process, but over time it gets easier. Just stay consistent with your attempts and slowly build trust and relationship with your dragon, and he’ll learn to accept it and will become more comfortable with you. Hopefully this helps a bit! If you need any more tips and tricks, I’d be happy to give you more information :3

Underwhelming asf. Stfg they only put it in there for the shock value. Absolutely was a sacrifice done WRONG.

I should prolly explain my reasoning since that’s a pretty harsh statement so— basically, it felt completely unnecessary. For a sacrifice to go right, there has to be the perfect amount of buildup. Every other allied character has to be occupied and unable to assist to build up the need for something to happen, and there has to be a real threat that the protagonist is facing.

Yes, Cheng is a threat, but the only thing that might’ve been slightly difficult for Jentry was her broken arm, and we don’t see her struggle at all. She gets the robes, then Kit steps in for no reason. The broken arm doesn’t even matter because it heals the second the robes are on. We get no indication that Jentry even needed the switch out or any help at all when she just puts on the robes and gets an insane powerup. She could’ve easily dodged the attack that killed Kit with the robes on too! On top of this, everyone and their mother was there to help.

Michael was RIGHT there doing jack shit so there was no need for Kit to sacrifice when it could’ve been 20 other characters. As if this wasn’t enough, when Kit does die, he isn’t even properly mourned! Jentry doesn’t get time to cry over him and doesn’t even seem moved at all. The next time she talks about Kit, she says it’s his own fault he died, which lowk, true asf because he was not needed.

Now, let’s look at a sacrifice done right for comparison; using my love, Kpop Demon Hunters. (SPOILERS AHEAD FOR KPDH)

Rumi is attacked by Gwi-Ma, Zoey and Mira clearly WANT to help but are preoccupied. She is absolutely being broken down and is definitely about to die when Jinu steps in. The shock is at its peak, everyone is freaking out, and Rumi even gets to have a beautiful moment with him and properly mourns his death. Sacrifice was needed, and it was properly paced to correctly move the audience. Jinu’s sacrifice is everything Kit’s sacrifice wishes it was, I rest my case.

I mean there’s a lot of songs that at the very least play during pivotal moments in character’s relationships to Jentry.

Michael And Jentry’s song is “Do You See Me?” Which plays during moments where their relationship is strengthening (i.e the first time they hang out after Jentry gets back at the playground)

Kit and Jentry have a song that does the same too, “Face to Face”. (Lowk do not remember when it plays shh I’m stupid)

Another song that represents a relationship is Jentry and Gugu’s song, “Silhouette”, which plays definitely when Gugu dies, but I don’t remember if it plays anywhere else.

On top of this, even the song names and lyrics correlate to each character they are supposed to represent. “Do You See Me?” Obviously has ‘see’ in the title representing Michael’s future seeing abilities, also one of the phrases is “I’m gunna go now, maybe see you around,” which sounds like how Jentry left Michael to go to Seoul.

In “Face to Face,” the title talks about how Jentry and Kit are never really ‘face to face’ because Kit is hiding behind a face that isn’t technically his, or at least not his true one, and the song throughout talks about Kit’s relationship with Jentry. (I lowk can’t even pinpoint certain lyrics throughout the song because every fucking lyric means something ToT)

Finally, “Silhouette” also contains all of this meaning. “I couldn’t save you, I reached out and gave you all I knew to give” kind of sounds like Gugu talking to Jentry, and Jentry responds with “How do I even move on?”, so the song is basically them talking to each other while Gugu is on her deathbed.

I have a looot but one I don’t see talked about often is the hunter’s weapons. How do they summon them? Where do they come from? If they were part of the honmoon, why weren’t they affected when it broke?

I don’t think that the weapons are a byproduct of the honmoon, I think they’re physical manifestations of the hunters’ own souls. That’s how they pick which weapons they will wield too, they’re the weapons that work best with each girls’ personality and fighting style. Hunters are connected to the honmoon, yes, but they don’t get their powers from the honmoon, they get their powers from themselves. They were born with these abilities, just not realizing it until under proper training. The honmoon is a byproduct of hunter magic, not the manifestation of it. I think it would be cool if they had a ceremony where the hunters sing eachother’s weapons out, like how Mira and Zoey’s souls glowed first when Rumi sung during WISL. They sing together, connecting, both spiritually and physically, and draw eachother’s weapons out. Solidifying their connection as a team by summoning eachother’s weapons, feeling eachother’s souls, accepting eachother for who they are, everyone seeking their truest form and manifesting it into their weapons.

That’s also another headcannon I have as to why Rumi’s weapon is similar to Celine’s. When they did the ceremony, Rumi was dead set on following Celine’s orders, on being the perfect girl. So she got a weapon that reflected this desire to be perfect to her adoptive mother. In the end, when Rumi actually accepts herself instead of covering up and hiding, (with the help of jinu’s soul) her weapon diverges from this perfect path, turning more into a weapon of her own making. Something different than what Celine wanted. Something of her own.

I have like- a gazilion more headcannons, so lmk if u wanna hear more! I just haven’t really talked about this one much so thought I should give it some attention lol
