Hi Sweetie

♥ Happy Pride Month! ♥

Clarifications:

★ I’m aware that there aren’t many poc characters/ships depicted here, but I’m using the inclusive LGBTQIA+ flag because I am a poc fan of those shows/characters that was deeply affected by them.

★ I was going to include only Alex but honestly, ignoring Maggie would be a disservice to the impact that she had on Alex’s coming out storyline and that Sanvers had on my personal life. I still support and love Dansen currently and I love Kelly Olsen.

★ I truly wanted to include more characters/ships (seriously, to make this gifset, I made a gigantic list) but the inclusive LGBTQIA+ flag only has 8 colours and I wanted to focus on wlw characters and ships that I feel were impactful on wlw lives growing up/maturing/figuring themselves out and were pivotal to get us where we are today representation-wise.

★ All characters/ships are canonical and picked using personal choices/feelings.

★ This took more than 12 hours to make. 10 on colouring alone. It was the first rainbow bg colouring I made. It may look a little rough but I’m proud of it. Also I cried while making this lol.

Root + Outfits of Interest

↳ Characters: Root + iconic moments

She starts out as a villain, of course, and a fucking terrifying villain at that. so like, let’s assume that having her switch to the good guys’ side was in the cards from the beginning. The most common way a villain does that is by seeing the error of their ways/allegiances/whatever and making some attempt to rectify that. but Root? What starts Root’s path away from villainy?

It started when she became the Analog Interface, the walking embodiment of God Mode, which was her goal the entire time up to that point.

In other words, she fucking won as a villain.

Like, with the benefit of hindsight, her arc is wild. She’s the biggest threat for the entirety of season 2, culminating with her achieving her goal, and that eventually transitions into her becoming one of the show’s main good guys?

And that’s all because being the Analog Interface is so MUCH responsibility. Responsibility she was prepared for, responsibility she killed for, but it’s so much, and it’s hers. It’s security for her, it’s bliss for her, but it also comes within inches of killing her at every turn.

She’s forced her own hand into being one of the most valuable pieces on the board. She wanted it entirely for selfish reasons, and now she’s regularly suffering physical and emotional trauma as a hobby, for one of the most selfless beings on the planet.

And it’s only by repeatedly hitting rock bottom that she begins to even superficially comprehend TM’s worldview – and begins to earn the trust of viewers that watched her be utterly nasty not that long ago.

In other words, she didn’t become good by growing a conscience. She strong-armed her way into TM’s camp and her conscience came later, after being institutionalized, after being imprisoned by Finch, after being tortured by Control, after every other terrible thing that happened to her. And the other protagonists didn’t accept her because they were HEROES WHO HAVE TO LOVE AND FORGIVE. They took her on as a matter of convenience firstly (since she’s ultimately fighting for the same person they are) and secondly because they watched her devotion for TM just the same as we viewers did.
