    14:20 A show that did this trope well was, believe it or not, “Ed, edd n eddy”. We don’t need to be TOLD that double dees parents are busy because it’s demonstrated by the use of simple sticky notes. Even in a show where the parents never appear, we still feel the absence. The other characters mention that they’ve been grounded or that their parents are out for the night. Edd just does endless, overly complicated tasks listed on sticky notes, only receives affection through writing, and seems to parent himself.

    Also explains fully why double d is the “brainiac” of the group (for a group that does really dumb stuff all the time). He has been forced to “grow up” faster than his peers and submit to viewing his worth through the lens of productivity and scholarship. He has been left alone to entertain himself with learning, as he seeks acknowledgement from parental figures who arent present, however because he is left without adult guidance most of the time, he uses his brains to get himself and the group into trouble.

    IKR! Love EENE, btw! Honestly, as a huge cartoon-fanatic, examples of other cartoons doing these tropes in 12Forever better were just PILING up in my head as I watched this video. Like, I swear if anyone on the creative team watched As Told by Ginger I think the writing would’ve improved tenfold lmao. Not saying that show didn’t have flaws, but it definitely at least KNEW what it wanted to do and the puberty-speak was actually pretty good. Not to mention that the main family (coincidentally also a mother, daughter, and son) actually match up to the personalities of Reggie’s family amazingly. Just, you know…a million times better haha

    Ngl I relate to the mother forcing her child to be feminine thing. When I was a kid I was a tomboy that wore minecraft shirts, my mom yelled at me for not wearing booty shorts and tank tops. I just didn't like showing my skin cause I knew the world was full of creeps and I was like 13. As I got older I dressed more feminine but in pastel dresses and pink outfits that get me mistake for strawberry short cake. My mom still wasn't happy and even said to my alt goth friend "I wish you were my daughter instead" as a "joke." today I am now comfortable with wearing more mature feminine clothing but I wish I was given the time I needed instead of being rejected by everyone. Luckily I was a rebel so I gave myself that time

    "be a sex simple. not a girl that has commonsense with her body." what type of logic does your mom think that is for girls? you have a right to stand your ground in a young age. and I'm fine with girls and women dress up whatever they want. but showing off alot of skin in a young age and even freaking 5 year old girls. really does make you think there's something wrong with a parent that's letting minors running around showing 60% or more of there skins. like that one "mother" making "sexy model" photos of her small minor girl and really thinks there wont be any pedos or creeps in the comments of her sexy child. >.> and she's still doing it to this day.

    It happens in every industry. You just hear about it more from the media industries because of the famous names and brands associated with them. Also, I suspect it's further exacerbated by the amount of control creators are given so as not to stifle their creative visions (in relation to non-media companies where usually far more stringent rules, regulations and processes are in place). Just a guess, though. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Their brains are soup, on some level, even the teenagers don't know any better. But I also don't think the mom gave up on her son. I think it's a double standard thing. Why do I know? Grew up as a girl. Mothers and grandmother's are really harsh about the feminine things because they grew up in worlds where they had to be or they had no worth. Did you know women couldn't open their own bank accounts or have credit until the 70's/80's. I'm not saying what they're doing is right or okay. I think it's generational trauma of being made to be worth less the less feminine you are.

    To be honest, it's not for no reason. It's usually the reason that the mother feels like her daughter is growing up and therefore NEEDS to be more feminine because she's just... At that age. And the mom doesn't need to because she already had that in the past, she already had her "feminine" phase, now she can do what she wants because she's already formed her life, etc. Coming from experience, that's the only real reason that can also be considered not a reason because it's selfish but that's the point. Reggie's mom should've been more selfish. Or like more two faced between her two kids but it's always very shallow. Like her motives should be "because that's how I feel my kids should be" and it not make sense but then be called out. But it isn't which messes up the whole thing and makes it more of a stereotype than an actual commentary on these types of parents

    I know the whole ‘daughter needs to be feminine and mature but the brother can be immature and not punished accordingly’ isn’t unrealistic. It makes an awful lot of sense actually I relate to Reggie a lot in this family dynamic she has I’ll explain what my relationship with my mum is like (vs her and my brother) since it is probably what the show was going for My mum is old, bigger (not that that’s a bad thing but she’s very insecure of her weight) and she was a tomboy when she was younger. She was rebellious and defied the stereotypes of women when she was my age However, now that she’s older, she regrets this. She wishes she was young and skinny again, she wishes she had that chance to accept her femininity and natural maturity. So as a result, she projects that onto me. Constantly pressuring me to be more feminine and “grow up”. She makes me wear dresses, makeup, jewellery, heels and bugs me about mature topics like s3x (I’m 16) Not saying I hate my mum, I get she’s just insecure but I think Reggie’s mum can relate to mine Also, about the brother: The mum isn’t going to care so much about the brothers actions and behaviour because to put it simply. She’s a woman and he’s a teenage boy. She doesn’t really know what’s expected of a boy coming that age since she’s never experienced it. She knows he shouldn’t pick on his sister but she kinda agrees with what he has to say (when he says “Toys aren’t friends”) She probably has the mindset of “boys will be boys”

In fact, very recently, there was a case like this where the boy (15) ended up having to pay his rapist (an adult woman) child support because she got pregnant from the encounter. Like... no, please.

    Imagine how creeped out and upset that boy was when he found out about the truth of those tickets he'd got. He would have been about 23 when that stuff began circulating online. If he realized that it was about him, it'd be so horrible and probably ruin what might have once been a nice memory for the now adult man in his 20s. My older brother is the age that guy is. Not 14, but 14 in 2010. I can't even begin to imagine how disgusted he was or will be when discovering that stuff. Like, now that was about half his current lifetime ago, but still. That's so disgusting, and i feel bad for the guy. He probably once thought of getting 2 final tickets as a nice kind gesture a stranger did out of kindness. But if he (or she if they have transitioned in kast 14 years, you never know) realizes what happened and knows they were that boy at the time, that'd ruin what may have once been an amazing memory for them. And obviously it's not just about ruining a memory, that's fucked up no matter what because a 25 year old was looking at a 14 year old in that way at all, and was taking photos without the kid's knowledge. Whether the photos "turned out good" or not, that's still not ok. And she knew that she was being a creep because she literally said as such and used the tag for a P3D0 on said post

In Bugsnax, the secret was that the Bugsnax themselves were a parasite on the world, comprising the entire Snaktooth Island. In Twelve Forever, the ‘secret’ is that the minds and sanity of those who go there get corrupted and destroyed. Both are similar. They lure you into the trap with colourful creatures and worlds, and take the chance to hold your head down into the waters of despair and horror, as your mind and body are degraded into either the source of your grief (Bugsnax) or your primal childish desires (Twelve Forever).

Both of us being black magnified those grievances.

    Between this and Big Mouth, there seems to be a upward trend of all types of animated shows and movies that fixate on the physical aspects of growing up. While I get that a lot of media danced around the physical hell of puberty for the longest time, especially with girls and periods, and I'm all for body acceptance, you've got some cartoons that deal with it with more or less in metaphors like Turning Red tried to do, and then you've got... this. I think the message intended is really important in what sets all these projects apart. If you're gonna talk about puberty in a serious way, you have to convince me that you care about ALL the emotional hell that comes along with it. As someone who was heavily resistant to becoming a teenager, I know kids like Main Character girl really do exist, and what they're going through. This can be even more miserable of a time for LGBTQ kids who are suddenly forced to ask questions about themselves they never had to consider before. Looking at a bra or a sports cup and having the dawning realization that you're not who you are on the inside. Further realizations, not just romantic interests or lack thereof, but of hobbies and interests, strengths and weaknesses, and insecurities around other people who they perceive have more/can do more/ARE more than you. Better in school, better at drawing, better at sports, etc, a lot of which is all in our head, but that adolescence convinces us is true. There's absolutely reason for a series about a kid resisting these changes to exist, but it has to have the competency to, at least by the very end, show MC maturing and accepting the things that they can't control, and accepting themselves too in who they are becoming. And if their friends and family don't accept them for who they are, to have the courage to rebuild their lives and friends around people who DO. I want to see more coming of age media like this.

    I didn't watch twelve forever, but just from watching this video I think a better premise for the plot mainly for Reggie could have been maybe she didn't feel ready to grow up yet, so the reason for her being a terrible person is that she was clinging to all these 'childish traits', like actively refusing to grow up, and then at the end of the series (like it could have ended at her 13th birthday), she learns that she can grow up but still enjoy cartoons and her hobbies and action figures etc, and finally grows out of her childish behaviors and matures, but can still enjoy things from her childhood. It sounds like with her friends they had pretty good premises, with Todd basically being forced to grow up early (parentification) so he wants to cling to whatever he has left and with the other one (forgot her name), maybe it could have been more fleshed out with the sense of her parents disapproving of anything they deem 'childish' because they want her to prepare for her future, despite her being 12. Maybe throughout the series we see Reggie's friends turn 13 and gradually not want to be in Endless anymore, because they 'grow up' or their issues begin to be resolved and their situations get better, like Todd's dad realizing that he's basically used his older sons as replacement fathers for his younger kids and tries to fix it, and the other girls parents realizing that they basically don't have a relationship with their daughter and also try to fix it. So in turn it would make Reggie dig her heels into the ground further because she sees all this growth as a bad thing, she see's her friends situations getting better as bad things because they no longer want to be in Endless as much- like Todd having time to join a club or sports team now that his dad is home more often (or just hanging out with his older brother), and the other girl maybe getting back into hobbies she had as a younger kid or just spending lots of time with her parents going to the park, or having movie night at home. But since Reggie see's this all as a bad thing, it makes her double down and refuse to grow up even more, seeing it as a thing that tore her friends away from her, 'changed' them, etc etc. At the end, you could even maybe have Reggie still go to Endless, but see that the place has changed, and it more of a place that she goes to just enjoy the things she liked from her childhood and no longer stands for a refusal of growing up.

    I have an interesting concept. A sequel of sorts of this show. In the future where Reggie is grown up and with a kid. Toss in Reggie being a single mother having to raise a kid who is quite, polite and no where near how Reggie was at that age. Now, lets toss her in her old childhood home, Her parents gave it to her cause they were moving out and Reggie needed a place for her kid since where she was became harder to expansive. Reggie never told any one about endless, only a few friends, and almost forgot about it till she came back home. Things are peaceful for a small bit, Reggie got a job and she sent her daughter to school. And then her daughter starts vanishing, she is in her room one moment, and then the next poof gone, only to come back bruised and very tired. There are even times Reggie finds her daughter in the living room on the couch asleep instead of in her bedroom. Well, endless is back, and its been taking Reggie's daughter, every night. Reggie being an adult now with adult issues, its been conflicting with Endless, twisting things around. Reggie tries over and over to get into Endless to find out what is going on, after seeing her daughter vanish before her eyes. Feeling helpless till an odd, deep voice calls out to Reggie, and suddenly, there she is standing next to her daughter, and the buttwitch, who is acting nice and good. Turns out when Reggie finally left her home, endless sort slowed, nothing happened, no one did anything, well every one but the Buttwitch. For awhile she tried to be the evil villain, but alas, its hard to be evil when all the crazy creatures walk around like they have no energy, and seemed to be put in slow mode. It was like that for awhile, and then Reggie came back. That is where the twist began, the world of Endless started back up. The Buttwitch was rather happy to see things coming back to life...for like a 30 seconds. Reggie's adult mind twisted up the world of endless, new creatures popped up, and a lone human figure seemed to come out of no where. The Buttwitch, once a major villain was now on the other end of the treatment. Endless no longer was a safe place to be. But the world seemed to want something, or some one, and that is when endless reached in and grabbed Reggie's daughter. When ever the kid came into Endless, The buttwitch was with her, protecting the girl while the strange mysterious male figure always tried to take the child Long story short, the mysterious figure is the representation of the man Reggie was once in love with, and the was the father to her daughter. When her daughter was still a baby the father left, robbing her for good measure, and a few years later, came back, with a lawyer. One very long custody battle later, Reggie managed to keep her kid. A few months later, Reggie's ex kidnapped her daughter. A month of searching and pure hell later, she managed to find her child. In this really nice house, high tech everything. And there was the ex, drinking, and smoking watching football with some other guys, with her daughter in a playpen with pet toys, coughing cause of the smoke. You see the reason he wanted his daughter wasn't cause he loved her, its just his mother told him to man up and take care of the kid. When the legal case did not work, his mother told him that its his kid and he has every right to the child. So he took the girl, Reggie managed to get in take back her daughter and leave with out being noticed. And then she moved to a new place, and had been moving around for awhile till she managed to come back to her childhood home. That fear, along with the other bits of her adult life infected Endless, with her fear manifesting as the mysterious figure, who was using his power to take Reggie's daughter into the world of Endless, but Reggie's old foe the Buttwitch was also effected, with every bit the motherly compassion Reggie had, and thus when ever Reggie's daughter came into Endless, she would try to send her back home, which had been increasing in difficulty.

    *"Reggie* gets a crush on a mature *8th Grade girl,* which sounds worse now with the implications given *Julia's allegations."* I get that Julia is a creep... but is the age gap between a 12-year-old (which is commonly an age for 6th graders) and an 8th grader is considered "problematic" now? It's only two years apart dude. Lots of people date those who are two years younger/older than they are and it's considered normal.

So in some eyes, a boy getting sexually assaulted and or raped by a woman is viewed as them being virile. Luckily? I went to a school that when my first in a series of three eighth grade teachers tried to groom a couple of my closest friends, she was immediately fired. The second one was eccentric but smart and the third? Well? Imagine having the temporary principal in Harry Potter as a teacher. At least the last two weren’t creeps. I had another creepy teacher in high school who literally told me to my face (it was a complicated and messed up time for me) about having feelings for the high school girls.

    Tbh, if they were gonna have Reggie be a self centered jerk who doesnt grow as a person easily, they shouldve let her be that way in Endless Island. She could be a sweet, charming, proper, girly person in the real world so that she can meet the needs of her mom and the expectations of society, but inside she's angry and stressed because she feels like she CANT be anything except what her mom wants her to be, so when she goes to Endless, she can let out her anger and order people around and have everything go HER way. And then she show can touch on that and help her figure out how she can open herself up more to her mother and be the person she actually wants to be in real life. THAT wouldve been so much better.

    An interesting take for the show would be if Endless turned out to be an indulgence, since it seemingly gives Reggie everything she wants. The action, the adventure, the *enablement.* Her mom tells her off? She runs to Endless. Her friends disagree with her? She runs to Endless. Any sort of problem at all, she would run to Endless. It would explain why nothing changes throughout the show, why every 'lesson' was dragged from scraps, why she never got better, and why she only ever seemed to get worse if anything... It would also be just so damn _facinating._ A fantasy world that fulfils your every desire is a hidden nightmare, as seen in Coraline, but instead of the danger being an outside entity like the Other Mother, _you_ would be the danger. _Reggie_ would be the danger, to herself, to her friends, to her family. If her childishness and her selfishness is being indulged and practically rewarded, she *never* needs to change, because Endless will take her as she is, and the creatures there always mindlessly love her. The world would forever make up artifical 'flaws' and silly fights to distract Reggie from thinking about herself or her problems too hard. What's the problem when you're always the solution? Why bother changing when you're told you're already the best? It's a horror scenario wrapped in candy and fluro. Reggie would need to learn to let go, to actually live, and that problems are just... a part of life, that the world doesn't always go your way. Her friends might need to drag her out forcefully, with Reggie being in too deep, while they also have to grapple with the idea of letting go of Endless. If they don't, then they'll obviously be trapped forever, like in the episode where they stayed there over break. See, now _that_ would be a show with a plot.

    Endless could have been an interesting take on the land of the lotus eaters, an island that seems to give kids everything they want but actually encourages their worst behaviors so they slowly grow more isolated from their real-life loved ones. They could even keep the butt-witch as a kind of misguided anti-hero that has has good reasons for keeping kids out of endless but goes about it too aggressively (maybe because she knows the kids won't believe her anyway). It almost looks like that's what they were trying to do in the actual show but the final product is just too shallow and too much of a production mess to actually deliver.

    I got really into this show back when I was a preteen, due to my lifelong wish to sometimes escape to another world and my at the time recent discovery of liking girls. I hated the creatures and the humour so much though. However, I remember finding a really good fanfiction based off of the episode where Todd and Esther spent a week in Endless. It was narrated by the Butt Witch, and portrayed her as a girl whose mother refused to let her grow up and into her own body back in the Real World, so when she was 17ish she ran away to stay in Endless forever. Turns out, before it was 12's fantasy land it was hers, hence why she hated how it had changed so much. It had gone from where she could grow up to a place where you never had to never grow up. But it's revealed later on that before it was the Witch's island, it was Dr. Champion's. He went there to avoid war conscription, and lost his mind. It ends with the Witch returning to the Real World briefly to see what became of her home & her mother, and that's when she learns her dissapearence became a local mystery. She spooks Reggie's older brother, and then returns to Endless once more. It was ridiculously well thought out, in that way that small fandoms always manage to pull off. It was better than the actual show, too.

I don’t know if they really are, but it’s just something I noticed. (Edit: I feel like I should have an example. The episode that I found the most terrifying even if I didn’t remember it that way was “No One Can Hear You” or the 67th episode overall. It still freaks me out.)
