im about to play desiderius in a motw campaign so lets go with him

that’s true, but a good chunk of tropers link to it when a girl is just kind of a dick to a guy

the legitimate examples are awful tho and ESPECIALLY THIS 

for sure yeah... all the alternate ann designs i’ve seen have just been slight alterations to her Panther outfit to make it less sexualized. interestingly, there was concept art for an outfit that still had the catwoman-expy theme but was more practical looking and had a cool visor. i thought i had a pic of it but all i have in my ann tag is this fanart of it.

No one is deliberately starting slander campaigns but people’s behavior and intentions spread.

Steven Universe, one of cartoonnetworks most ambitious, representative, and powerful shows has been the WORST contender for it.

And I hate to keep using SU to talk about it because things like Voltron, Dream Daddy, etc. also got hit with it but I always come back to SU because it’s a show for kids that has been ruined and is now just SCRAPPING to survive because of people’s extreme need to tear LGBT content apart.

Steven Universe has been GREAT for kids, I’ve seen kids talk about the characters, the relationships, the story, their emotions, EVERYTHING on a level that -- as a kid -- I NEVER got. 

So it’s INFURIATING to me, when people feel the NEED to talk about the little problems, CONSTANTLY. Criticizing the art is one thing, 10k, to 20k+ note long posts about how Steven Universe is absolute shit because their QUEER TEAM + GROUP OF ARTISTS isnt consistent with their storyboard style is EXTREME, and it’s not just the LGBT community, of course it isn’t, you have meatheads on youtube taking 800 hours just to rant about Steven Universe and how bad it is, how hard its trying, how shitty and annoying the characters are, when in 2013-2014, everyone was ALL OVER IT! 

Then, now I’m seeing people justify this behavior with how the LGBT representation wasn’t “good enough”, how one of the artists deserved to get run off by the fandom for her “queer baiting” or “art direction”, how Lapidot was bad because it was normal or silly, I saw some people talking about how Ruby and Sapphires relationship was unhealthy, the MAIN consistent lesbian pair.

Why does LGBT/POC content have to be PERFECT to be GOOD.  Other cartoons sit on cartoonnetwork or disney or nick just fine and don’t get this much BACKLASH, and they all have pretty much the same formulas, protagonists and love interests, background characters and background romances.

Not once have I asked people to stop criticizing, I’ve asked people stop normalizing this widespread behavior of taking content and doing everything in their power to find EVERY SMALL THING wrong with it before they just ENJOY it.

I wouldn’t say any of these show are perfect or free from people’s anger, nothing is. 

But when ADULTS (everyone I’ve talked to has been between 18-20+ tonight??) decide they will do everything in their power to TEAR the opportunity of representation away from kids just because of some mistakes, some art discrepancies, or how the plot isn’t going how they want or some shit, it’s DAMAGING. It ruins the chance for SUCCESSORS to follow, it ruins the chance for our public networks to sprout.

And it has nothing to do with being a coward, it has more to do with how the people up top will refuse to greenlight anything even similar or better than Steven Universe again, how writers will conform their writing and tip toe to avoid hitting anyone, how the SIGHT of a POC creator/character will immediately turn off stations/editors because people. can’t handle it. 

Its dangerous, it’s risky, and if its not just right it will fail. 

That shouldn’t be the case, I want more kids to be happy and sing songs and be accepting of themselves because that’s the surface of what a cartoon is showing to them rather than the concepts grown folk have decided it’s okay to politicize and dictate for them.

How I feel about this character: HIM... big strong lizard guys dont usually appeal to me so he kinda just blended in with the background for me im sorry garuru. youre very nice

All the people I ship romantically with this character: i do NOT remember farethere city well enough should i just ship him with yakov and call it a day

My non-romantic OTP for this character: i saw a pic of luna admiring his muscles and how cool he is and like aw hes dad

My unpopular opinion about this character: farethere city is SO not popular enough for this to even happen

o funmk yea

How I feel about this character: i love my big beautiful sexy wife who is also deep and interesting and her own person beyond just being sexy to me

All the people I ship romantically with this character: my oc de soto, me

My non-romantic OTP for this character: like.......... also her/me, the best intimate (romantic or qp) relationships are also friendships smh

My unpopular opinion about this character: like... idk im not like “OH EM GEEEE STEP ON ME XDDD” because as much as i have a type for butches i dont, like to objectify them like that as big hulking strongwomen who want to beat me up LOL but idk. tomcats i guess bc shes bi imo???

o boy lets do this

9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals?

yes and yes! i feel like animals like dogs and cats especially (but most animals that can walk up to you and not attack you) would be able to sense an inherent kindness or gentleness in him

23. Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces?

well... yes and no.

he has a good memory and he also has an absolutely shit memory. simultaneously. he remembers things a lot of people forget, but there’s a lot of details from his OWN past [sinister or innocent!] that he’s forgotten, just from the way stress and PTSD eat away at your ability to remember shit.

his short term memory is not as good as his long term memory generally speaking. like as in, there are times where he wouldn’t be able to tell you what he ate for breakfast this morning, but he’ll remember exactly what nana was wearing at X party 50 years ago.

but then on the other hand sometimes he’ll be able to tell you what X exact person (that he’s never met outside of the gathering that just ended five minutes ago) had for dinner six hours ago but he won’t be able to tell you what color his mother’s eyes were. [but he remembers what color they were in a general sense. they were blue. he just. forgets on occasion and has to really think to remember it]

he’s VERY good with names and faces though, it’s part of how he’s so good at socializing

24. What is their sleeping pattern like? Do they snore? What do they like to sleep on? A soft or hard mattress?

oh boy this is an interesting question for this character

his sleeping pattern is uh... erratic, to put it one way. its not very clearly defined, it’s tailored specifically to sort of. fit in the open spaces in his schedule. and sure yeah he’s got free time so he can get a full “night’s” sleep! but the question is does he choose to go to bed when he should

and the answer is fuck no

he doesnt usually snore but i mean, he’s a humanoid being with a nose and a throat, im sure he does sometimes
