Balto 2: Wolfquest is a story about a girl learning how to reclaim the native heritage her father was forced to reject due to the way society treated him for it

Well she was humming...

It feels unreal. It feels completely fucking unreal that Arcane is a real show that really exists. Number one show in the world in sixty countries, and two of the main characters are lesbians. One of them is butch, actual butch, butch on purpose, butch by design. Five of the main characters are women. Three of those women are women of color. And it’s just. It’s not a Woke Show. There’s no lessons about feminism. It’s not about lesbians finding themselves and coming out. There’s no commentary on racism or sexism or identity. There being this many women, queer people, poc, it’s just how it is. It’s a real show, it’s about the story, and it’s like any other show because it’s about the story first. And it’s one of the best written stories to come along in decades, and it’s about love and family and grief and loss and recovery and redemption and being lost and being found, and it’s transformative, and it is so narratively sound and artistically gorgeous, not a single frame or line by accident, everything so intentionally built and crafted and directed. And the lesbians kiss on-screen.

my biggest complaint is that i felt like vi's lowest moments were totally brushed under the rug. like, we got the 2 minute pit fighting clip but then cut to jinx in her room? i wish we had gotten more. vi deserves so much more
