Hey y’all, I’m leaving tumblr. This app has just been really bad for my mental health. Love y’all, and thanks to those who followed.

I know there’s a lot of discourse around this but I thought I’d give me two cents: as someone who has dealt with comphet before, Vanya’s whole situation just screams comphet to me. Like, she spent a majority of her life on her own and then someone finally shows interest in her, so of course she’s going to latch onto them. She was just glad that someone finally wanted to talk to her and she got confused about how she really felt. And then when they all went into a different timeline and she lost her memory, that kinda gave her a clean slate. No comphet, no possible internalized homophobia. I don’t know if her sexuality has been confirmed, if it is please let me know, but if not this is just how I personally perceive the whole situation.

I’m honestly so confused by the she-ra stuff that’s going on right now. Like on one hand it just seems like the joke was taken out of context (you can find the video on YouTube and it’s probably on twitter somewhere), but on the other hand I mean, I’m white. So who am I to say that it wasn’t intentional. I mean you have to know what the implications behind saying that are. Especially when you’re a grown ass adult. I just don’t know. I think it definitely has to do with the lack of racial diversity behind the show. Not to mention that people really need to stop putting show creators on high pedestals. I mean look at what happened to the dragon prince. People praised Aaron to no end only to find out he was a terrible person.
