A list of good LGBT representation in cartoons for people who were insulted by Voltron

Yo, since Voltron ruined every single chance of doing a good job at LGBT representation, I offer you GOOD development and representation on other cartoons that is not only limited to final credits.

Gravity Falls - Deputy Durland and Sheriff Blubs

Even though Disney execs forbid Alex Hirsch of inserting LGBT characters, especially at S02E09 “The Love God” (where the Cupid would make two background women fall in love), he managed to create a slow burn between Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland, since fans were noticing something could emerge from their relationship. Yes, it’s canon.

Adventure Time - Princess Bubblegum and Marceline Abadeer

After 10 long seasons of drama between these two, they were finally together at the last episode. If you like slow burn, angst and mutual pinning, you’re gonna love Bubbline.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power - Netossa and Spinnerella/ Adora and Catra

While Netossa and Spinnerella are characters already introduced as a canon couple that shares a lovely complicity, Adora and Catra’s relationship is way deeper and more dramatic. Catra’s feelings after being abandoned by the protagonist she loves lead her to an antagonist role, the main dynamics of the series. While we still don’t know what will happen for the next seasons, it’s clearly Noelle Stevenson is creating a tension fuelled by love and hate between the main female characters.

Steven Universe - Ruby and Sapphire (Garnet)

Queen of LGBT representation, Rebecca Sugar developed an entire show dedicated to queer characters. Garnet is a stable fusion between Ruby and Sapphire and, while we always knew they were a couple, they finally managed to marry and kiss the last season. We are also presented to other LGBT characters that still don’t have a canon relationship, which means we still can have a slow burn development (such as Lapis and Peridot; Pearl and S., etc).

Honorable mentions

BoJack Horseman: this adult show presents us with a polirelationship, plus a main asexual character, Todd Chavez, who is slowly learning about his orientation. Yolanda Buenaventura is also asexual and shared a relationship with Todd for a short time. Rick and Morty: despite all polemics, Rick is canonically pansexual. Morty is also seen being proposed by Mr. Poopybutthole before having his memory erased. Yuri!!! on Ice: a touching-hearted anime that displays the evolution of Yuuri and Viktor’s relationship as they train to revive Yuuri’s career as a skater. Their interaction is as subtle as evident, open to free interpretation. Yet, they even share rings. Sailor Moon: the famous mahou bishoujo displays a sutble yet canon relationship between Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. The dubbed version censored them as “cousins”, so it’s recommended to watch the original japanese version of the show. Marvel Rising - Secret Warriors: following the comics, America Chavez came from another dimension which was destroyed. In order to save their daughter, her two mothers sent her to Earth-616. America’s also LGBT, though the movie doesn’t display a love interest for her. Star vs the Forces of Evil: even though there isn’t any self-proclaimed queer main characters, it was the first cartoon that ever displayed a kiss between two same-sex characters.

Future shows that I’m counting will display queer characters: The Owl House. The creator, Dana Terrace, has worked on Gravity Falls and directed 2007 Duck Tales. She has revealed she’s bisexual and is always fighting for LGBT representation in cartoons. Luz, one of the protagonists, seems to be non-binary.

The ending of Voltron CANNOT be considered a good LGBT representation. It failed and disappointed us. Therefore, let’s praise these shows for they deserve way more affection and love than Voltron ever did. Let’s put our minds and efforts on people who care about representation.

Please feel free to add more shows to this list. Let’s make a network of love and respect!

Last week I drew a few things, because I didn’t have internet or anything else to do, but I couldn’t upload it, so I’ll be doing that now. I drew this the day it came out and I can’t help but say I absolutely ADORED this episode, it made me incredibly happy. I can’t believe they are actually MARRIED, it makes me happy to see two female-presenting characters getting married, since I, too, am super gay and in love.

Sapphire: Ruby I'm tired.

Ruby: Go to sleep than.

Sapphire: what if I have a another nightmare.

Ruby: Than I'll hold your hand and sing to you untill it passes.

We need to talk about Garnet

Steven universe has fucked up Garnet. Yeah, I said it. Garnet was presented as a complex character. Being a permafusion, she embodies not only Ruby and Sapphire entities, but also their relationship status. So when they’re in good terms, Garnet is (can I phrase like this? if no, I’m sorry)  “mentally healthier” and when they can’t agree or are fighting, Garnet starts dissociating and eventually falling apart.

So, what I want to say is: Crewniverse itself has stated many times that Garnet is not just two gems in a trench-coat. She’s her own person, she’s always evolving and changing and also changing Ruby/Sapphire per table. It’s like the two experience things through Garnet’s optics, that is - by its very nature - unique.

So when the Crewniverse just puts two balloons in Garnet’s hands with red color and blue color it feels a bit offensive to Garnet as her own person. It’s like they’re just reinforcing the idea that Garnet is like a mecha controlled by two little lesbians (btw I just love these babes); sometimes one takes control, sometimes another one. And all for the sake of a (weak) joke. So they shouldn’t do it? I - a mere viewer of the show - dare say what Crewniverse should or no to do?! 

Well… I actually don’t really think they should not to do it, but they could actually do it wisely. Like maybe with two raspberry colored balloons with the predictions? Indicating that both of them have influence on the two main predictions. Maybe Ruby wanted another gem of her kind to become an ally and Sapphire wanted to believe that a Ruby could change fate again since one did it once (and changed her life)? Maybe Sapphire also was strongly waiting for the worst since the CG didn’t treat the Ruby Squad very well and deep down Ruby didn’t expect another Ruby to do good since she suffers from low self esteem?

Like maybe not writing Garnet as a character with two conflict personalities but rather a complex combination and embodiment of two beings that keep influencing each other all the time? I love Ruby as a character, I love Sapphire as character, I want to see more of them and get to know themselves deeply but I don’t want it to be the center of Garnet's narrative. They’re three different and lovable characters so please write Garnet as a whole again.
