I enjoy their chaotic, beautiful nature very very much, so I share it with my bishes.

You're welcome, bishes.

I love you all very much.

Meow.

I just watched the second (and final) season of Quantum Leap. As a nonbinary person, this scene really got me in the feels. It's really hokey and showing what should be basic human behavior. And I'm really glad it exists and it made me cry both times I've watched it.

Context for those who don't know, Mason Alexander Park plays Ian Wright, a nonbinary character in the main cast of the show. So they are reacting to this conversation among siblings, which is taking place in 1953.

And as a fan of the original QL in the early 90's, this is definitely a far cry from the overtly homophobic and transphobic aspects of some episodes back then. So, I guess it is nice to see specific evidence of some progress. Even as the backlash continues and we fight for actual liberation.

the fact that tumblr, the social justice fandom blogging website, has been almost completely silent about the Quantum Leap reboot which has not only given us a nonbinary MAIN CHARACTER played by a nonbinary actor but also:

commentary on how blindly rejecting other people’s beliefs and experiences hinders progress towards the truth

commentary on corruption in healthcare systems and how healthcare workers are heroes for carrying on and saving lives in spite of the big companies trying to stop them

commentary on the abuse and neglect of mentally ill, abused and neglected children

an extremely bold and pro trans-joy story

and that’s just so far in season one. They seemed to be playing the slow game to begin with for sure, having a few regular unspecial episodes to establish the story and characters (and draw in viewers before they SLAPPED US with social commentary) but this show is SO important and it’s so disappointing that people aren’t picking it up

It's my theory. Electromagnetism between two polarities. I'm moving forward in time, and you're moving backward. Creating a magnetic field that brings us...

If I had a nickel for every time Quantum Leap got canned right after a big season finale that could be a serviceable ending for the show but would have so much potential for another season, I would have two nickels

We searched for you for two years. Two years, nothing.

Okay so I just finally finished watching the second half of season 2 of the Quantum Leap reboot (I KNOW I'm late since these episodes came out in February but I just couldn't find the time with school and stuff first and then I forgot about it for a while) and I can't believe how beautiful and mind-blowing powerful this show is and these last five episodes hit so damn hard. But then I checked and the show got fucking CANCELLED??? I just can't believe it because there's so much unresolved and I'm just so, so angry about that.

I'm also surprised that apparently barely anyone talks about this show on here? Because not only is it really well-written, it also has a lot of diversity and a nonbinary character in the main cast, it addresses different problems in our society and at the same time it's all so real and human and exciting and it has really grabbed me by the shoulders and shaken me around while I was watching it.

I haven't watched the original show from the 80s yet (which I'm definitely going to do now that the holidays are rolling around soon for me) and I had only found out about this reboot because Mason Alexander Park is in it, whom I had seen before as Desire in The Sandman, and they're a really wonderful actor. Anyways, you guys gotta watch this show, you won't regret it.

No gifs are mine 🖥️

[chaos-of-the-endless]

At this point, I can't control it. This just happens. For hours, I sit, and I gif. They're so gorgeous. I can't even.

But also? Great little gifs for reactions in roleplay or gif-based fics. I'd love to see more this used alongside fiction ❤️

Watched the trailer for S2 right before having to leave for work in the morning, was dying to draw them all day <3

the way QL was literally nominated for (and won some) AWARDS and they were still like "nah axe it"

This sweet look Addison gives after hearing Ian explain why they are skeptical of this person being framed
