Context: The characters have an election to be the King/Queen and made it democratic. The world they are in is basically like Narnia, talking animals just as intelligent as people are around. In fact, animals outnumber humans, and this is when they realise the animals have voting rights and the human vote doesn't mean shit. Margo mentioned offhandedly that she approved of the relationship a different character had with a literal bear because they were both adults with intelligence that could consent, so what was the harm? This lead to word of mouth causing animals to vote for her when she wasn't really campaigning for herself.
People say that the tv show is really good! I haven't seen it so all I can say is that if you like it, you shouldn't read the first book as it's utter garbage. People said it starts improving by book three but I couldn't possibly slog through a second book like the first one to get there lol.
I went in completely blind coming off an LSD trip and let me tell you, I could NOT figure out what the fuck I was watching. Oh, it's coming of age! No, it's a detective drama? Wait, I guess it's a psychological drama... What the fuck, it's Harry Potter with sex and drugs. No, it's not that either...
What got me was characters going on about how great Cady's voice was and then she sang and she was AWFUL. And the show kept trying to pretend she was good. Painful. I'll take Elliott and Margo over that any day.
there's a difference between art and entertainment.... that show was 1000% pure entertainment. especially the musical episode in the later season.... "four octave range, bitch!" :)
Definitely the character who I think changed the most throughout the series, and who I cried the hardest about. Did not expect to ever end up liking anything about him. I fucking adored him by the end. I'm tearing up right now just thinking about him.
