No, I know! I was referencing the same video in my reply. (I was the person in the chat he was responding to when he got on the subject.)
Again, the facts that he shipped them and that it majorly influenced his writing doesn't mean that he wrote Dominator as crushing on Sylvia when that would contradict a major part of her character. WOY is a show that always hits you over the head with it when a character is written as having a crush on another. If you think you're seeing subtle implications that one character is into another, then you know for a fact that it ain't canon because the word "subtle" would never apply if it were. The show kinda has a rule about never writing the main characters as having anything romantic going on between them & another character because it's "not that kind of show." It's all about friendship. Every signficant, positive relationship that involved a main character was canonically platonic.
Ughhh ok, I'm gonna start this off by saying that I am all for more queer rep, especially in kid's shows. Ok? Ok. Now, Nate wanting to make Lord Dominator lesbian was such a dumb choice. So, basically in one episode "The Night Out" Nate said it was his intention to show Lord Dominator as a lesbian in that episode, by implying she has a crush on Slyvia...d-does he HAVE to add a toxic lesbian romance in whatever show he touches? First we have Catradora, now he's trying to make Dominator and Slyvia a couple, when they both HATE EACH OTHER, and when Dominator attempted to KILL SLYVIA showing no guilt. Dominator just very clearly has no romantic feelings towards Slyvia. Also Slyvia's a literal horse sooo...I don't get what his obsession is with toxic sapphic romances, but he has got to stop.
#i almost quoted him by referring to him as a ''lowly staff writer'' but that felt weird shjgvghsds#and yeah what he said in the video isn't him saying that he made it canon that dominator had a crush on sylvia#especially since he went on to stress that he does Not get to decide whether or not anything like that is canon bc these are not his ocs!#he liked the ship (even named it) and that was an influence on how he wrote TNO - absolutely#but the ep doesn't just exist because he needed his ship fodder ep. this was a crucial lord dominator ep that the season demanded#it's 2:30 am and in kinda tired and that's the biggest reason i'm not hunting down and linking all my sources from the crew on all this#sorry if it sounds like i'm just hitting you with wild mass guessing#i have like every tumblr post and craig mccracken interview ever made about lord dominator seared into my brain#and retrieving them all tends to take me a bit. depending on how many tangents i go on whemnrvbshbs#if anyone reading this wants to get lost in the sauce tho: owner-of-wendys & suspendersofdisbelief on tumblr are always my biggest sources#craig mccracken unfortunately deleted his twitter but i dont think i mentioned anything i got from there beyond his confirmation that dom-#-isn't romantically interested in anyone in the show#which i think op already knew bc the show was not subtle about that#and uhhh. yeah!#i cannot reccommend enough: reading every woy crew post ever made about lord dominator. it's great it rules it's the bee's knees frfrfrfr#EDIT: OK I ALSO WANT TO SAY. LOOK UP THE GAY SEX JOKE THAT DOMINATOR WAS ORIGINALLY SCRIPTED AS TELLING TO HER BOTS IN THE NIGHT OUT#..actually wait nate deleted that tweet so nvm dont try to look it up. it was ''Blaster? I hardly KNOW her!" if you care#anyway DARE I SAY *THAT* WAS GOING TO BE THE EPISODE'S MOST DIRECT IMPLICATION THAT DOMINATOR IS A LESBIAN#NOT A NONEXISTENT CRUSH ON SYLVIA THE ZBORNAK (SHE REALLY *REALLY* DOES NOT HAVE ONE)#BUT DISNEY SAID NO ๐๐ญ๐ฅ#again i cannot stress enough that romance was not gonna be the vehicle through which dominator got the bulk of her lesbian-coding#that was not how that episode rolled
