Anyway still on my Candace loving train but can we talk about how in Nerds of a Feather Candace is absolutely humiliated and ashamed to be a fan of Ducky Momo because it’s a “kids show”
To the point where she straight up lied to both Jeremy and Stacy about where she was that day (something we had never seen her do up until that point and then never see her do again)
And then literally as soon as Jeremy found out and reassured her that he didn’t think any less of her
She starts openly talking more about it and her interest in it and the collectibles, to both her friends and her family. And then eventually we get these scenes:
Where Candace’s friends actively participate in this thing she enjoys, even if it’s not necessarily something they like as much as she does. (Granted I know Vanessa didn’t really CHOOSE to be at the movies 😂 but it still counts)
And they never once make fun of her for it - in fact, no one who she cares about in the show EVER teases her about her enjoyment of the character.
That’s all just to say I think it’s a really cute way to tell viewers that it’s okay to like things that aren’t “cool,” and that actual friends will happily pursue/discuss your interests with you.
