Drakoloid Reviews: February 25th Teenhood "Almost Asked" & High Schooled "The Guinea Pig Funeral"

Hello fellow readers,

Retrograv here with another review on Drakoloid shows we are reviewing the triumph return of Teenhood "Almost Asked" and High Schooled "The Guinea Pig Funeral". So here  we go..

TeenHood Almost Asked is the first episode in 10 months since we had this show people are saying this is season 2 but this was filmed with season 1 episodes. This episode was about Brittney confronting Taylor on her negative attitude. In this episode we see Taylor starting to become irritated with Brittney which I predict sometime in the future Taylor will dump Brittney as a friend maybe in the next episode or the episode after? We will see what happens. But then we have Miranda and Stacey both confronting each other for the first time in a while. Miranda explains that she wasn't talking about Stacey behind her back and they sweetly make up. A nice wrap up on Stacey right there.  :)

I have to say this episode felt very short and we were missing a few characters Carly, Alex, Cameron, Simon but I did enjoy it. This episode gets a rating of 7.5/10 not the best but not the worst just in the middle.

Now over onto High Schooled The Guinea Pig Funeral is about when its Derek birthday and Amanda  makes Derek and Ryan stay with her for the funeral of "Muffin", Amanda's Guinea Pig. I have to say this episode was quite surprising and was perfectly executed in writing and acting. The plot flowed all together smoothly. Nicholas Merchant writing and directing shines well with this episode. Its almost as strong as what was written in older Drakoloid shows such as Diaries Of Alice's Bedroom, Are You Ready To Scream, Carter The Cat and early episodes of ARTic, it can even be placed in the same league as Junglematic & Imperfect Patrick Season 1 & 2 episodes category that had similar yet original plots. There is also the joy of the iconic "Oh Muffin" song 😀. The heart warming yet comedic end with Amanda and Derek making up by Amanda ripping up his laser tag tickets was purely great.

This episode was the strongest of the series so far and makes me look forward to the next episode. This episode gets a rating of 9.5/10 or even a 10/10 in some ways when looked at it.

Thank you all for reading this review!

Drakoloid Review: February 11th ARTic "Mixed Masks" Drakoloid Changes to LGBTQ+ Supportive

Hey fellow blog readers Retrograv here for new blog review,

Today I am reviewing a special episode of ARTic that really touched my heart and made me over the top excited for Drakoloid. Yesterday February 11th Drakoloid decided to change its history and become an LGBT supportive community. Some fun fact information is that the network use to not ever allow their writers to go to those sort of topics but now they can. It is weird to believe that Drakoloid was once a conservative network and not to mention a kids/teens network. It still remains as a kids/teens network which is very interesting because no other kids/teen networks on Television or on the internet never talk about same-sex relationships only briefly or under the cover.

Let me start the review to see where they hit the main points on this episode of ARTic.

This episode of ARTic called "Mixed Masks" was written by the network owner Drake Vegas himself. ARTic does a 360 in this with its casting, opening because Leila Stroud and Pat Kizer are no longer included in the opening of the show. Now we have Alejandra Deleon as Samantha Vegas added into the main cast. We also have Andrew Bouch as our new and possibly last Blake, Kim Lawrence our new and possibly last as Amy Rogers and Jack Ripoff as our new Kyle. Now with those big changes if they stay for at least the rest of the series it should stand well. Andrew Bouch and Kim Lawrence really know how to act well. Kim Lawrence reminds me of Leila Stroud the most out of any of the Amy's.

The main plot is Jennifer, Amy and Samantha where Samantha helps Jennifer finish her Mask for her Mask week project however when she tries it on with industrial glue it gets stuck. What also then twists this plot is Jennifer goes out with a guy named "Trevor" played by Mex Nov and he doesn't ever get to see her face. It really is humorous to watch and see it all unramble as the show goes on. Later Jennifer gets the mask off but it gives her a rash that Amy searches up on Trevors profile that he hates people who have them. Later Jennifer gets attacked by a spider in a hula skirt and then she runs off and her mask comes off. Trevor then confronts her saying that he is already dating someone and the plot twists even further into the next plot.

The sub plot is Blake showing around this new kid "Dillon" who is played by a dragged version of Sarah Kellysen. Blake finds an attraction to him throughout the episode and it becomes obvious. He finally confronts his feelings and his sexuality as being "bicurious" from my POV. When Blake asks Dillon out, Dillon already has a boyfriend. Which Dillon is dating Trevor Jennifer's romantic interest in this episode. Amazing plot twist ending that takes a while to process. In the final scene where Dillon explains bi sexuality it is explained in a way where everyone can understand what that is so young audiences are educated on the topic. That was the primary goal and the introduction to Drakoloid's LGBTQ+ movement. What a well done execution to it.  Mixed Masks in my opinion gets a solid 9.5/10 it was perfect in every aspect except I wish there was more equal amounts of Bradley. But It was also different to see Jennifer and Blake get screwed over instead of Bradley always getting screwed. This episode brought so much character development that I hope is developed further in the episodes to come.

As we move further Drakoloid will be having more LGBT upcoming episodes and shows such as Three In A Modern State. I am really touched and happy that to watch Drakoloid because most of these shows are relatable in many different aspects. I am going to be looking forward to what Drakoloid brings in the next few months and year towards the LGBT community and just content wise.
