Random reminder that RARIJACK IS CANON. It's been more than 5 years since Rollercoaster of Friendship and I'm still in awe over it.

[larkspur777]

Absolutely.  I think that input from actors is so important.  I feel like they often end up understanding the characters more than the writers themselves.  Like, it’s so awesome that Maya Hawke and Natalia Dyer ship Robin and Nancy.  Same for Maleficent and Diaval’s actors.  And I love how Jenna Ortega seems to be very in tune with Wednesday Addams, and doesn’t plan to have romance for her character in S2.

don't mind me i'm thinking about how Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and Tom "Iceman" Kazansky are both CANONICALLY QUEER.

That's right folks, you read that correctly. I present to you the evidence:

Regarding Iceman, we all knew he was gay, because Val Kilmer himself literally confirmed it in an interview for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (he talked about his role as a gay character in the film and said that it wasn't his first; he admitted top gun was his first gay role.)

And for Maverick, the canon evidence was in the original Top Gun itself - in a scene that SO many people overlook. At the o-club scene, Goose tells Maverick when they're making a bet that Maverick "must have carnal knowledge, of a woman this time."

That line right there implies that Maverick has hit on people before that AREN'T women-- because if Maverick was completely straight, why would Goose need to specify that Maverick needs to hit on a woman this time?

The amount of queerness in this film AMAZES ME. And it's not subtle, quiet things only certain people can catch. ITS OUT THERE. So, with Mav and Ice being canonically queer, it's safe to assume Icemav actually had feelings for each other, from all of the very homoerotic scenes they had in the first movie and hell, even TGM.

Tldr: Iceman and Maverick are both canonically lgbt+ and Icemav is literally canon. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

The Librarians: Lysa, Connor, and Charlie

I came across an article with some info about the new characters and apparently, Lysa is a scientist/mathematician, and Connor is a historian.  And I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed because I was really hoping it’d be the girl this time who’s into literature, art, history, etc.  Also, Charlie is now the fourth female guardian after Charlene, Nicole, and Eve.  Aren’t there ever any male guardians?  Or is this some sort of “tradition” because Charlene was the first guardian?  I just wish they’d switched things up a bit more instead of using a similar formula as last time.

I also find it curious that, yet again, one librarian has all the logical left-brain interests, but no creative right-brain interests.  Why not mix it up a little and have the two sides intersect?  Why not have an artist who makes kinetic sculptures and is knowledgeable in both physics and art?  Or a veterinarian who also studies legends on mythical animals/creatures (as well as myths and literature in general.)  I just . . . I feel like they could’ve been way more creative when coming up with their skillsets and stuff.

I hate to be so negative and I’m still trying to keep an open mind until the show actually airs and we get to see these characters in action.  I’m just disappointed that I’m not as excited for this as I expected to be.  But who knows, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised and I’ll end up really liking the characters.

I don't know if anybody will read this, but I have to talk about it. I am not a native english speaker so I apolgize for futures mistakes since now.

LGBT+ representation in movies and tv shows is important. I'm bi and I think that we need more bi characters on screen.

I recently watched Atypical. (Very good show). I really like Casey being bi and struggle with boys and girls stuff. I totally understand the way she was feeling and even if she didn't make always the right thing, I like her.

I understand why she is with Izzie, but I don't like it. I think Evan was better for her and upsets me that the season 3 ended with them being apart.

Casey clearly loves him and I hope she could get back with him at some point.

But a lot of people just ship Casey and Izzie, which is valid, but to he honest, I think that the main reason it's because they are a LGBT+ and interracial couple. And I think that is a thing that happens a lot with shows.

You can ship whatever you want, and representation is important and necessary, but let me put it in this way... If in real life a white boy is in love with a white girl but ALSO with a black boy, would you tell him to date date the guy just because it would be more inclusive? That would be ridiculous, he should be with the one who is better for him (despite race and gender, of course!).

Well I think that it is also ridiculous in a tv show. I think Izzie wasn't the better choice (you can agree or not), but if you only ship a couple because it's "representative", without thinking what would be the healthy choice (that could be the characters being alone too), then maybe you should care more about toxicity and comunication in relationships than representation.

And, as a bi girl, I feel that letting Casey being with Evan after figuring out her feelings and sexual orientation could be a great representation of bisexuality.

I would came out earlier if I ever saw on tv a bi girl going with the "straight" option just because it was what she wanted.

It's important to bi people still feel valid even if they are in a straight relationship, because... surprise! IT IS VALID.

It takes me till last year to learn that by miself. And that's because young girls and boys need this kind of REPRESENTATION.

You can ship Casey and Izzie and all the people you like, but lets think deeper about why you do.

You think Izzie is better for Casey? Great, it's valid.

You think Evan is better for her? Great too.

You are not wrong because you ship one couple or non of them. But lets just stop shipping and forcing couples just for fit with some expectations of what is representative and inclusive, sometimes it cause the opposite efect.

Thanks and sorry if I hurt someone with my words.

Meet the Parents: Manson Edition

There were surprises on both sides.

Made by the amazing @hoodedjelly, commissioned by me.

THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN I'm so disappointed 😞 I would've loved to've seen Sam with some female friends (or, to be honest, I think they would've also been interesting as a bi x bi, girly x goth romance.)

Fuck we never got our “Paulina and Sam have to team up for an entire episode and end up respecting each other a little bit by the end” episode, did we

arcane ships be like

i love a show that teaches equality (😭😭😭)

I'm sorry I know most people will wish they kissed or interpret their relationship as romantic (as is fandom nature) but I'm feeling sososo emotional about queerplatonic Jayvik. They're partners, with a shared vision of the world, who's destinies are literally intertwined on a cosmic level. It just makes so much sense.

And aroace Victor also makes so much sense. In season one, we had the classic scene play out where your best friend stops noticing you cause they got involved in a romantic relationship. Not to mention the allusions to being cold and machine like in season two. How can you be human if you don't love like that? But what breaks him out is not a kiss, but rather a declaration that Jayce still wants him, still wants his partner by his side, imperfections and all.

I don't care how people interpret their love, as long no one implies it's somehow less than, cause they didn't kiss :')

Ever since seeing these two posts by fancysmudges (here and here) I've been loving the idea of queer platonic Jayvik. Here are some of my favourite additional comments/tags to the original two posts.

Andi Mack: Amber Confusion

I've always wondered: How did so many people get to seeing Amber as a lesbian instead of bi? I thought her interest in Jonah seemed genuine . . .

I mean, yeah, lesbian rep in the show would've been cool, but a bi x bi ship with Amber and Andi would've been just as great. (Or in Andi's case, pan.)

I feel like bi x bi ships are actually pretty rare, at least with the shows I'm familiar with. It's more often bi x gay, or gay x gay, when it comes to queer couples.

why do people (vigorously) ship Danny/Valerie?

I’ve read before that people don’t like Sam because she’s bossy and hypocritical.

Ok. And? I wouldn’t want a lovely and sweet character. I like that she’s messed up and kind of hassle sometimes. It’s a much more refreshing sight to see from a young female character.

And I don’t get why people ship Danny/Valerie. Like, I get it, but I don’t get it. Valerie can be pretty bossy too.

And let’s not forget her history. She used to be one of popular kids, the kids who made fun of Danny and his friends. Once a ghost “ruins” her life, she goes all aggro and makes ghost hunting her mission. 

Her deeds are based out of selfishness that warps into this weird and creepy…almost ghost-like obsession (people who read fandom will understand what I mean by that)

She’s motivated by anger and rage. Danny is motivated by some sense of heroic duty. Danny is stupid and stubborn at times, and often over emotional, but he usually comes to his senses sooner or later. Valerie is bat-sh*t insane until Danny reveals his true identity, at which time she’s like “Oh, so you’re the kid I’ve been going after with guns blazing? Oh cool let’s still be friends kthx!”

I understand being interested in seeing where things would go with D/V, and I am not opposed to a good D/V fanfic at all. But logically, it doesn’t make sense to me. 

Also, how would Valerie handle it if Danny told her he was Phantom? I doubt she would take it well, at least not initially. They’d have to do a whole lot of sorting things out and uncovering layers of why they do what they do to make any kind of relationship work, which, again I understand is interesting. 

But in the episode Flirting with Disaster, Danny explicitly states that if he wanted the relationship with Valerie to work he’d have to never reveal his true identity. What kind of relationship would that be, one where Danny would have to hide the most important part of his life. Would he have to do that with Sam? No, she was there. (and is kind of the reason for the whole thing)

Paulina only liked Phantom. Valerie only liked Danny. Sam, for all her flaws, is the only romantic interest who accepts both, ectoplasm and all.

Get at me people! Tell me why you ship D/V!
