I know that weāre all a bit confused about what happens in the last episode of Heartstopper with Imogen and Sahar at Prom. But if thereās one thing this show has tried to teach us again and again is that we shouldnāt be trying to guess and assume peopleās identities. Especially before they are ready. I mean, do I need to remind yāall why Kit Connor left twitter? Everyone was making assumptions about what he is and isnāt. āIs he gay? Or is he straight?ā
For crying out loud, we even get to see it in S1 of the show with everyone assuming a rugby player couldnāt be any shade of queer. Can we, just this one, let Alice and the writers and Imogen and Sahar and their respective actors tell us in due time. Can we enjoy a show about queer love? Can we applaud them for what theyāve created for us this far? I mean, theyāve done an incredible job so far! I trust that they will tell us the needed stories in due time. I know that they are just characters but this could be good practice for what folks should have done for Kit. And what we should do for others.

Ethan Clade- The LGBTQ+ Rep We've Been Waiting For
So I just got around to watching Strange World the other day, and it made me UNBELIEVABLY happy.
(Mild spoilers ahead)
I had heard we were going to get a gay character but I was afraid it was going to go one of two ways: It would be something that could easily be brushed aside (not overtly gay, or in a very minor scene with a minor character), or that it would be portrayed in an annoying way (as in, the gay character would be a stereotype or have that be the only part of his personality).
I was very very happy to find out Strange World did none of these things. The gay character in question was Ethan Clade, one of the main protagonists the movie followed. This on its own was huge, as it makes Ethan the first openly gay protagonist in an animated Disney film. Ethan only interacts with his crush (a male character named Diazo) twice throughout the film, and in one scene it is just a short clip. However, it is referenced several times as well. Just after their first scene together, Ethan's father reminisces about his own first crush in reference to his son and Diazo. Ethan can also be seen rehearsing a made-up conversation with Diazo while walking through the forest. Later, he has a conversation with his grandfather, where Diazo is explicitly stated to be Ethan's "sweetheart". In none of these scenes are Ethan's family shocked by his sexuality. They simply accept it as part of him without any dramatic scene of "coming out".
While Ethan's gayness cannot simply be brushed away, it is also NOT the only part of his character. It is only one part of who Ethan is. He does not spend the whole movie focusing on his crush, nor is he a walking stereotype. He is a kid who loves adventure and card games, who cares very deeply about nature and his family, and who wants to find a way for people to peacefully interact with the world around them.
The character of Ethan Clade is a huge step for Disney. I hope more people go watch this movie, and I'd love to see more content about Ethan and Diazo soon.

Revisited a story that was very important to me as a child, and learned about the author being very vocal about the harm gender roles & stereotypes cause. I thought "oh that's great!" but was afraid. What if she only applied that logic to cis ppl?
I did some searching, and found out that not only does she support trans ppl, but has also spoken multiple times about how important it is to be able to see protagonists outside of the perceived norm. A.K.A., she doesn't see my very existence as wrong.
I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could continue to enjoy this thing that had been so important to me growing up.
But this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Too often I discover a new artist, or even be unsure of one I've enjoyed the work of for a long time up to the present; and I have to desperately search to know if I can enjoy their work. Either I am extremely relieved, or absolutely crushed.
This shouldn't be necessary. I shouldn't be feeling this deep fear that something so important to me, was created by someone who despises my very existence. That I, as a disabled queer femme ex-mormon Pagan witch who was raised like a girl, will be shoved off the emotional cliff of "this person you looked up to hates you for the same reason all bigots do".
I was so terrified that something that meant so much to me as a kid could've shattered me emotionally. Simply because I didn't know if the person who made it hates people like me.
We shouldn't have to live like this.
#this has happened so many times#I was SO fucking RELIEVED when I found out Lindsey Stirling supports queer people#she has been my biggest role model for years#but as a marginalized bitter ex-mormon I was scared until I found out she supports queer ppl#also applies to ppl who are racist/classist/intersexist/basically anything that doesn't directly apply to me but is still bigotry#im tired#representation matters#transgender rights#trans rights#queer representation#queer rights#lgbtq+ rights#trans representation#disability representation#disability rights#feminism#trans inclusive feminism#pagan#pagan wicca#pagan witch#ex christian#ex mormon#anti racism#poc representation#poc rights#lgbtq+ representation#intersex rights

Bringing this back(again), because yeah he likes to make a joke, it's his way,but he always gives thought out responses. Even today's panel Misha talked about representation and how things changed. And I can guarantee it's the reason Misha took the role on Gotham Knights. A show ran by a lesbian with queer creators behind the scenes and a queer PoC writing staff. Misha praised GK for its representation and also said he's glad to see shows going more in that direction.

I see my mother in Evelyn Wang.
She is an immigrant who left her family in China. She is an immigrant who followed her love, my father, and came to the West to make a family here. She speaks to me in English and her family in Cantonese and to waiters in Mandarin. She is an ordinary woman who does ordinary things.
She is an immigrant woman who loves her father, her ba, my Gong Gong, dearly, but there are so many times where his unyielding expectations have hurt her and pushed her away. She loves me and my sibling deeply, but her love comes across as nagging and she tells me that I'm getting fat when she's trying to tell me she cares. I love her. I can't stand living with her for long.
When she says, in Cantonese, "How could you abandon me like that, Ba?", I think of the nights she cried when my Gong Gong hung up a call with harsh, unreasonable words. When she says, in English, "You are getting fat," I think of the dozens of times she has told me that before suddenly deciding I was too skinny after I got sick. When says, in Cantonese, "Ah Ba, this is Becky, Joy's girlfriend. Her girlfriend.", I think of how very much I want to hear that same acceptance from my mother, and how she still hasn't yet give it, but I want it, I want it, I want it, please, mom, why is our queerness so hard to understand?

Halfway through Netflix's Kaos. This series is so damn fun! Tragically, it has not been Renewed for a second season. You would think the Internet's obsession with Jeff Goldblum would be strong enough, but alas!
Greek Mythology fans will love how incredibly gay (a-fucking-ffecttionate!) this show is. Mythology fans might be bothered by certain liberties taken with the source material, but those sorts of people are a negativity you do not need in your life!
Hades fans will love this show's Dionysus just as much as they love that game's Dionysus. He's basically a kitten, and he should be loved and protected.
Cliff Curtis here is determined to stray so far from his unfortunate elemental association from a garbage adaptation that I officially forgive him. Yes, he was Ozai in the Shyamalan Last Airbender, but between The Way of Water, the two Meg films, and his role here as Poseidon, his stint as a Fire Lord is forgiven.
I'm a simple chap. David Thewlis makes everything better (check out his Sandman role, damn that was so good!). His role as a sentient doormat Hades here is quite good to me.
My biggest complaint comes from the scene of Orpheus crossing the Styx. Note: half-naked Orpheus is a win! I'm disappointed that Scylla isn't actually shown and Charybdis is mostly hidden. I like monsters. Greek mythology is full of impressive monsters. Show me the damn monsters!! My aggrevation here is mitigated, though, because the Cerberus dogs are so incredibly cute, and they are shown often enough that being denied the fun ones can be politely ignored as long as Fotis keeps showing up on screen.
That is all!

I mean, Yoko and Divina were 100% real LGBTQ+ representation (sorry Wenclairs, but IRL Wenclair isn't) and they cut the characters. They cut the two women who went to the Rave'N together out.
I'm so...fkn irritated today I can't
ETA: *looks up at the Wednesday loop to see CarniPlants class* YOU KNOW. WATCHING S1 IS MAKING ME MAD NOW BECAUSE I KNOW THAT TWO THIRDS OF THE NIGHTSHADES ARE GONE IN S2
ETA2: Yanno, if it was her decision (Naomi/Yoko), fine. But I don't think that anyone was clamoring to get away from Wednesday. In fact they're all clamoring to get on. So yeah...not buying that.
ETA3 5/9: After listening to her podcast about hitting rock bottom, I'm SO not buying her statement on Insta. Listen to the podcast.

OMG, I just realised that Cassette Beasts' initial release date, April 26, was also Lesbian Visibility Day!
What a great coincidence to appreciate as a lesbian and Cassette Beasts fan, whose many, many reasons for loving Cassette Beasts including unambiguously canon LGBTQ+ representation, including an actual canon old married lesbian couple in Ianthe and Wilma.
This means that from now on, on April 26 every year, I will celebrate Lesbian Visibility Day and Cassette Beasts' release anniversary at the same time!

This post is merely just unbrittled joy for self that I have to get out, don't mind it too much lol
But like... š Alex (they/he/she/hir pronouns used bc fuck it up, they don't have a preferred set of pronouns listed anywhere anyways) from The A List, I have finally found genderqueer representation that I physically am keen on and I love them?? Like literally, they're so pretty and I love her character already?? (I'm projecting on his personality, gonna eat it at some point.)
Also hirs girlfriend, Petal?? She so fucking pretty, a flowery girl just so joyful looking, gentle and with an appreciation to the nature dydhbd, (honestly, Petal reminds me of my friend lol) but I love her character as well! Also I live for the multitude of accents in this show fjjfbfjdndb
I have never seen a genderqueer character before, like a character that *specifically* identifies as a genderqueer and not enby. I've seen plenty of enby characters by all means. But as a genderqueer being who does not associate the two to be synonyms I feel so fucking good seeing Alex & hirs character?? Like huh. And just aaaaaaAAAAAAAA. Do I wanna be her, do I wanna be with her or do a secret third option that even I don't know about. (Project)
#dnjdjdbdjdb#the a list#alex the a list#petal the a list#š®.mm.. text#unbrittled joy#istg i'm going to cry at some point#lemme scream about these two a bit bc im hyped and i adord them smsmsm already#being very normal about these two rn#personal genderqueer euphoria moment#lgbtq+ representation#poc representation

I know that the actor who plays Tara Jones (Corinna Brown) will never see this but Iām gonna say this anyway. THANK YOU so much for having Tara wear a bonnet at the sleepover. It made me feel so seen! I have really curly hair and if I donāt wear a bonnet to bed at night, or at the very least put them in braids, Iāll wake up looking like I stuck a metal fork in a toaster. Thereās absolutely no way to manage my hair in the mornings with a hairbrush. My hair behaves differently than typical Hollywood hair. To attempt to manage my hair, I have to wet it first. All I can really do to style my hair is either spray product on it or apply styling conditioner, and scrunch it up so the curls can regain their bounce.
I donāt feel ashamed or embarrassed anymore. But it took YEARS for me to feel comfortable wearing my bonnet in front of others. Even now, if Iām staying over at someoneās house, I WILL wear a bonnet. The friends I have now are so supportive when I wear mine at their place. Iāve actually convinced both of my best friends to start using bonnets!! Itās meant to protect ALL types of hair. Not just curly or coily hair. So I def recommend looking into it!
But just thank you to Corinna (our lovely Tara) and the cast and crew for continuing to share real experiences š

More Emily Windsnap goodness. This time fanart of someone elseās fanart! @artistic-moth-man ās Jake and genderbent Mary P. a.k.a. āMartyā. Itās rare to find someone do both fanart and fanfiction for this series. The series has strong LGBTQ+ allegories, so I like their idea depicting Mary & Jake as a same-sex couple.
[Image description: Sketches of a man eating donuts, swimming, swimming with a merman,and that same merman sitting. Based on someone elseās drawings of that man and merman. End description.]
