Meta Thread (More Thoughts On Buddie)

Reading some of the articles Noelle has shared after the drop of Season 5 really opened my eyes to how difficult it must’ve been to make the show as gay as it was. I thought Dreamworks was just being super cool with everything, but she talked about how she really had to take her time with it; doing her best to be super convincing, being careful in picking the right times/vibe to meet with the execs, and not reveal all of what she wanted to be portrayed on screen all at once. How the catradora endgame she wanted was revealed to the exces later on, and how she broke down and cried when it was approved. It just goes to show what happens when actual LGBT folk run a show – they’ll actually fight for that representation! AND make sure it is good representation!

(I mean, would a cis-hetero have fought/pushed as hard for that rep? Or would they have just shrugged and been like “welp, it is what it is” and moved on? Previous shows have paved the way for She-Ra, but Noelle really pushed and pushed what they could show on screen)

Noelle also did a great job of making the representation feel normal. I’m tired of gay/queer characters having their gayness/queerness be their only defining characteristic/personality or dying off in the end, and She-Ra just set the bar extremely high for every future show. 

The fact that I was just doing that

some of you have never struggled not to look at a book or series’ tag on tumblr before finishing it and it shows

To all my black followers and friends, stay safe.

Also, I would like to add that black lives have always mattered, will always matter.

It’s awful that we even have to say that because it should be a given. However, we need to say it loud and clear for the racists.

We cannot be silent. 

here is a document of antiracist resources for white people that is not too overwhelming and is organized by where you are in your journey of becoming antiracist

Not cool dudes.

Me too, honestly

it’s so heartbreaking to see how the general public has lost momentum for black lives matter. it’s a clear demonstration of how so many people are more interested in trends than they are in ensuring justice is served. not only are breonna taylor’s murders still walking around free, but there are also countless other victims of police brutality who go virtually unheard of. are you going to wait for another hashtag to trend in order for you to care and start fighting? i fucking hope not.

concern, sympathy, and even intentions aren’t enough. it’s your actions that bring about change.
