Okay fuck this guy

The Planeteers elves all fawn over Sis and everyone goes flying around on brightly colored dragons.

Sorry, no, I am not buying that Fire Elf is into dudes. Moving on.

There’s some tiny trollgoblins that
are a tool-using species so they have an adorable tiny cannon to shoot nets and catch animals and
are about as ferocious as this gif.

Now, the lady elves are getting swoony and boy-crazy so I am quickly losing interest.

APPARENTLY AN ELFIE IS POSING TOGETHER WHILE A MAGIC WOODPECKER INSTANTLY DESTROYS A TREE CARVING YOUR LIKENESS INTO IT AND SOMETIMES THE BIRD CARVES YOU BLINKING OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNEEZE

Okay, so my first impression of The Dude is he’s a little slow on the uptake.

Dude: (meeting Sis) Welcome! How long are you staying?
Emily: We’re leaving n–
Sis: forever

OKAY THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY

oh no The Token Dude just got here

i smell romantic entanglements

Skeptical Lil Sis is clearly our Sokka analogue in this situation.

(The animation style and tone kind of resembles ATLA, not gonna deny it, so I will probably compare and contrast now and then.)

And the show does that thing where Miss Thing exited the portal and started casually walking away, then Sis comes through SECONDS later and Miss Thing is nowhere to be seen as Sis takes in the scenery even though she’d probably only be like 10 feet away and would have heard her and turned to see what the commotion was.

But. Kids show. Breathe. Okay, moving on.

Unfortunately, we only get as far as Sis going “OMGGGGGG???” before it cuts to Fire Elf doing Fire Things.

OKAY, Miss Thing’s name is Emily, who has just arrived in the elf village? or something. But then Sis doesn’t wait too long to join the scene, since she followed Emily. Somehow very quietly.

Emily: How did you get here?
Sis: Ummm you left the big glowy door open.

Bless this child.

So, much like MLP:FIM, we open with the lore of the show in the form of a bedtime story Miss Thing is telling to her little sister. Lil sis is like “fuck u” and checks out because she is clearly too old for bedtime stories, but Miss Thing is doing it anyway because their mom asked her to.

So lil sis goes to bed and next we cut to… Miss Thing fucking off outside? Where the fuck is she going??? SERIOUSLY I AM 99% SURE YOu ARE LEAVING YOUR LITTLE SISTER IN AN EMPTY FUCKING HOUSE but what do I know.

Anyway, child endangerment aside, Miss Thing demonstrates she’s the granddaughter from the bedtime story– her grandmother was one of 5 magic elves with Captain Planet’s rings elemental amulets, portal between worlds, blah blah.

She opens the portal in the woods and pops through like it’s no big thing. She does it all the time. Clearly. She pops out in Elfland then WHOOOOOPS SKEPTICAL LIL SIS FOLLOWED HERRRR

What hijinks!
