Animation WIP! I'm having fun :)

I think a lot about how so many people misunderstood Goh in the breakup scene… he wasn't just angry Ash decided to leave, he was hurt because Ash hadn't given him any sign of hesitation or consideration. He just decided, and it wasn't a difficult decision, either. In that moment, Goh realized Ash didn't feel the same way as him and it broke his heart💔

Couple this with the cinematography and Goh's failed confession that pivots into "The stars are really pretty tonight, huh?" … which mirrors a famous Japanese trope of saying "the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" When you really mean to say "I love you."

It’s still Pride in the Boiling Isles 🌈

I still cannot believe I got the chance to work on such an incredibly special show 🥹 Lemme rant for a sec:

There’s so much more to The Owl House than just Lumity, but watching these girlfriends fall in love in canon really touched my life and the lives of so many queer kids around the world. I was so honored to play a small part in Luz’s coming out story and her relationship with Amity.

I’ve visited middle schools, high schools, and colleges around the US where I spoke to classrooms about my job on TOH, and so many kids told me how much this show meant to them as young queers, artists, and neurodivergent weirdos. We need to be supporting those kids and their futures now more than ever. Nobody can diminish your light!

Queer rights are human rights. Joy and Pride is resistance. Expression and Nonconformity are threats to power. So is Humor, and Art, and Love, and Community— all precious as they are vital, especially in times like these.

Trans rights are human rights— the right to privacy, autonomy, and deciding what’s best for our bodies is between us and our doctors, not our governments. Anti-trans laws reflect fascist ideals, the lavender scare, and racist segregation throughout history.

Immigrant Rights are human rights— the rights to travel, seek asylum, build a life for yourself, share your culture with others. Immigrants are a disruption to an ethnostate.

Heroes and Villains from The Owl House, though fictional, represent and embody these very real concepts from our world. And that’s just part of the reason why this show genuinely resonates with me and so many people.

Ok enough rambling from me… please stay safe out there

HAPPY SATOGOU DAY!!!

Look how calm she is! :)
