I'm realizing that what I want out of most settings is actually just Archer. I want a gaggle of messy, bizarrely competent idiots bungling their way through high stakes adventures while yapping and being dramatic.
That show had many problems and I don't blame anyone who dislikes it for those reasons but the premise? The chemistry? So good.
My one complaint with that show is how it got cruelly cut short, and had a hatchet job of an ending. I can't even bring myself to watch the last seasons anymore; I have found the ideal end point is when Archer accepts that Lana is suited to be a better leader than he is, and she takes her seat at Mallory's desk. Perfect ending, leaving it open for endless possibilities under her (the only) hand capable of steering the chaos that is the team.
I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.
Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.
Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.
Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.
I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.
Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture
People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.
I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.
I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.
This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.
They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.
here you can read an article about a survivor of the church and some of the things he experienced to help put into perspective how awful and just how recent it was
Today, I migrated the majority of my important documents out of Google Docs and onto Ellipsus. This was not something that I was in any particular rush to do, I was actually waiting for Ellipsus to create a dedicated Android app first.
But then Google did something truly insane;
This is a document that I have been adding to and working in for over two years. It is an important document, that is tagged to be synched to Google Docs on my mobile for constant availability. I open it at least a dozen times a week.
Google locked me out of it.
A file that I own, have never shared with anyone, that is extremely personal and deeply important. It contains nothing illegal, or even morally objectionable. There is no grand conspiracy, no potential downfall of civilisation. If it were to be deleted, the only cost would be a massive blow to my mental health.
I tried the normal steps. Reset the app, reboot the phone, fiddle around with my internet connection - nothing worked. Luckily, I had it tabbed open on my desktop at home, and that session was still accepted. I downloaded a copy, and instantly backed it up into Ellipsus, followed swiftly by the remainder of my important documents.
But I spent an afternoon terrified that I had lost something irreplaceable because of an automated system that would have no recourse to fight.
This is my big catalyst to begin de-Googling myself. I'm aware that it will be tricky, but I have always accepted a minor power imbalance when it comes to Google. Scanning emails for keywords for ads, filtering photos to track trends, even the AI nonsense had a slim bit of bandwidth.
But having my data harvested and then being denied access to precious items that I have written, events I have chronicled for years, is the ultimate middle finger and I'm taking it for what it is.
Next weekend, I'll strip out my photos. Then, clear out as many emails as I can. Empty my Drive, backup any remaining documents and remove them. I don't care if I have to start paying for an email in future, because I'll find one with the most stringent privacy possible. The days of companies getting a lot for a little are gone, because they wanted it all.
@ellipsus-writes have promised to take a stand against AI, to preserve the privacy of the user, and they have made an incredible product already. Will it replace Google Docs at a business level? No. But will more and more people gradually switch over when they become aware that it's a far better option? Absolutely - and they've just gained one more.
Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

If I was a creator working on some piece of queer media I think I would take one look at the way shows like Steven Universe and She-Ra get treated and just not fucking bother. Y'all don't deserve queer creators and more importantly queer creators deserve better than y'all.
I would argue such media is worth making anyway, even if one would have to deal with terminally online idiots who are ignorant of the real problems facing queer people right now. Because I think that art could still resonate with people and mean a lot to them and make them feel seen.
Sure, not every peice of art is going to be perfect and I wouldn't even say She-Ra is completely without its problems. But... I'm glad it exsists, I'm glad that it helped people genuinely.
Now, if this Queer art is being made by some major corporation with its own iffy agendas and taking advantage of marginlised creators or some indie work is going to be another matter entirely...
But overally, I think making it is still worth it. It's better than the alternative, where we're being erased and ignored. There is always a better way after all and a better world is possible.
TLDR: We need the representation so that people know they can be themselves, and other people get exposure to seeing such people in equal standing.
I have told this story before and I will tell it again: my mentioning of watching She-Ra is what told someone I now consider among my best and closest friends that I was a safe person to reveal they were transitioning to.
All shows fight execs, and bad faith opinions, and tough markets, and reduced budgets, and and and.
But we need them.
We need kids to see heroines saving the day and getting the girl. We need to see male characters being soft, and affectionate, and allowed to openly express themselves. We need them to be shown androgynous characters, trans characters, bisexual characters, gender nonconforming characters. We need them to know that there are more options and variety to fill a cast than heterosexuals, a token gay character, and "just friends" banter.
Frankly, we need that for adults as well.
I'm binging my way through Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Willow's awkward journey of self-expression is endearingly realistic for the time it is set in. Now, I'm going to count the number of strong, female, LGBT characters that come to mind off the top of my head when I'm running on minimal sleep;
Willow Rosenberg - Buffy the Vampire Slayer (because I'm currently watching it),
Alex Danvers - Supergirl (2015) (because a mutual is watching it for the first time and freaking out how good it is).
Nia Nal/Dreamer - Supergirl (2015)(the only trans-female character that I can think of).
Luz Noceda - The Owl House (the only one I can think of anywhere that doesn't face an angsty "is this who I am" sub-plot, she just chaotically expresses her best self and catches the baddest bitch around with her autism).
Korra - Avatar: The Legend of Korra (and this is, frankly, an honourable mention because the show ends with them holding hands which is apparently enough to solidly confirm a scandalous, pearl-clutching-worthy relationship - I'm aware that comics later expanded their relationship, but I wasn't even aware there were comics until a number of years afterwards).
That's it. Five characters, and Korra barely made the cut.
I'm now going to do She-Ra. Just She-Ra.
Adora - definitely has a thing for strong women, you cannot tell me she wasn't crushing on Huntara,
Catra - the flirtations this one sends out are insane,
Mermista - outright admitted that she joined the Rebellion because Adora can turn into She-Ra,
Perfuma - practically threw herself at She-Ra (okay, maybe they viewed her as a demi-god, but there was definitely some unprofessional adoration going on),
Spinnerella - constantly calling her wife cute little terms like "dear", "love", etc
Netossa - ugh, season five, when Spinnerella gets chipped? Say no more.
Scorpia - simps for Catra until she realises that Catra is never going to reciprocate, and leaves her when she sees Catra is hurting those around her.
Huntara - boldly flirting with goons in her bar when the Best Friend Squad turn up, bodily lifts Perfuma and tells her she's welcome back anytime.
Double Trouble - chaos incarnate, flirts with anyone close to them for the love of the game, not afraid of mocking a genocidal dictator with an arm cannon if that's what their scene requires.
That one show has more LGBT characters than the rest of my fandom experience combined. Actually, that reminds me (goes back up and adds Dreamer to the first list).
The Umbrella Academy does the perfect job of addressing Elliot Page's transitioning. No recast, no big announcement.
"... and Vanya will,"
"Viktor."
"Who's Viktor?"
"... I am."
And the later "Viktor used to be Vanya, now he's Viktor" exchange when Luther returns is as simple as it should be. He suggests throwing a party to "welcome him to the brotherhood" and letting him know he's loved. Diego takes care of it by flatly asking Viktor if he knows he's loved, and asking if he wants a party. (Yes to the first, no to the second, for anyone wondering.)
But Viktor and Nia are the only two instances I have come across of trans characters, and the lists above? They are far too small.
Yes, there are plenty of other LGBT characters out there that I haven't seen, and plenty more than were doubtlessly "confirmed" but never made explicit. But the above lists are from all the shows that I have watched, and it's barely enough to fill a table if She-Ra is discounted.
We need queer content, badly. Because everyone deserves representation, and everyone else needs the opportunity to see it happen. Did She-Ra and Steven Universe get treated poorly? Perhaps. Did they progress an agenda of inclusion? Yes. Are there still fans out there, talking and enjoying them? Absolutely.
Saying that we don't deserve queer creators is true. They are chipping away at multigenerational biases and getting crucified for not fitting the mould. Mabel Pines goes through the entire rainbow in her sweater collection, even wearing a rainbow sweater during the Woodstick festival when they meet the Love God, because Alex Hirsch was explicitly told no LGBTQ characters were allowed.
Imagine saying "no heterosexual characters allowed" - it sounds insane. If you've made it this far, it's probably where you give up and leave but, before you do, actually think about it: Alex Hirsch was told that he was only allowed straight characters in his show. There was a written directive from a multinational media company who owns so many IPs that they can shape the entire course of fandom, a company with more money than some countries, and they said: no LGBTQ characters.
We need to show them. We need to see them. And we need to recognise the work that goes into them.
Fanfiction that’s just Hordak having a good day. Fanfiction where he isn’t actively falling apart or depressed. Fanfiction where he has a full 24 hours of calm.

Wasn't there that episode where it turned out he'd been working on the portal with Entrapta for days on end? Doesn't hanging out with your wife lab partner doing crazy science and enduring occasional explosions count as relaxing?
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

The Seahawk one did. One minute; normal person, the next; they'd scavenged up enough items they owned that perfectly fit the aesthetic and bam, Seahawk.
I have a beautiful symbiotic relationship with the Project Hail Mary fandom where I continue to post about my hyperfixation and in return they don’t board the Hail Mary, pilot it, and gun me down for abandoning my duty.
But don’t worry, it isn’t a hostage situation. My payment is posting angst that they now have to deal with.
It’s a beautiful mutually beneficial relationship.
