So what happens when a bunch of fellow She-Ra and MOTU nerds shows up at MCM London? We have a fantastic time being super duper silly during our photoshop by the docks!

My husband took all those wonderful photos and if you like them please follow him on Instagram - if you are in these photos and would like a version for your socials just get in touch with either of us

Once again a HUGE thank you to everyone who showed up (including our own @kuurankaiho and @grot-bag )here’s some more photos of us just having some good clean fun!

this drawing started off as tv crowley and aziraphale dressed like their book cover counterparts, but then I got carried away and it turned out... not being exactly that anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

“i love being aromantic” i say as i feel my chest cavity rotting from the inside at the unquenchable desire for love in a way that is truly a secret third thing but its not a secret i want to keep it is a secret nobody is willing to listen to and im trapped in a state of isolation of my own making because no matter how much love i have to give it will never be enough. it will never be enough. it will never be enough.

i truly believe that most white USamericans have never had a conversation with somebody who doesn't speak much english irl, and that's why they are so nasty towards palestinians online - bc not only can they not fathom somebody not knowing "casual" (americanised) english, they also see palestinians (and let's face it, poc who don't speak english well / at all too) as being less intelligent for it too. this is because of racism 👍🏾

blackpool trip mention is fucking CRAZY. that was the trip they took exactly six months after they first met irl. blackpool also has a big ferris wheel. you don't get how bonkers i am about this tiny piece of phistory

Dumbest part of criticism of SU Future is when people say "Future is character assassination of Steven" and "The show trivializes/poorly represents mental illness" in the same breath. If you think a character whom has suffered immense interpersonal and physical trauma having breakdowns and snapping at people because of being triggered is mutually exclusive to a character being kind and empathetic, I don't think you have a right to speak on mental illness rep.

Seeing a character who is defined by kindness and compassion crack under that pressure of being there for everyone like that is crazy to see in a kids show. Personally I hadn't felt that seen by anything in a while, and it's just offensive as hell to me to say that a character acting traumatized in a way that isn't sad puppy dog eyes means they're mischaracterized or abusive now. That's half the point of Future that Steven didn't know how to express his problems within his role as precious angel.

He wasn't mischaracterized, he was recontextualized. It's like people can accept "this mean character was once nice but changed cause trauma", or "sweet character is now depressed cause trauma", but the reality that someone youre familiar with can change dramatically due to trauma - acting angry and abrasive instead of sad and demure - is blasphemous somehow.

Double points if they then say the gems or Greg were dumbed down to make Steven look better. Like, My Brother In Christ, they are exhibiting the exact lack of awareness you are thinking it's impossible for a person like Steven to have angry or vengeful trauma reactions.

EDIT: Actually not gonna leave this in the tags -

Something-something ableism, something-something not accepting dramatic and unpalatable expressions of mental illness in fiction and likely not for people IRL.
