I never watched James Somerton. but I do remember when there was an increasing criticism ("criticism") of Animated shows like Steven Universe of She-Ra being "female-led queer shows" showing that queer women had an "easier" time getting heard of than Queer men.

And at the time I wasnt sure how much I personally could add to that discussion or how much was my place. but now that I feel I have better words to explain my feelings I can say I always thought it was bull.

Queer women do not have an "easier" time getting heard or getting their shows produced. Steven Universe got cancelled for homophobic reasons, and She-Ra had to be extremely careful with how they made Catradora Canon.

Those shows were also teared apart by "fans" who tried their hardest to make the most bad-faith arguments for these shows.

And yes, it is important to mention, ND Stevenson goes by He/Him while Rebecca Sugar is Non-binary, and that comes with their own set of discrimination, including getting misgendered. At the time, before they were out and everyone acted on the belief they were Cis, the argument was that as queer women, they had an "advantage" compared to other queer men, and also Dana Terrace (who is Cis as far as I know) also received this criticism. Most important, they would be shit takes regardless of that

and it's such bullshit, not just because of how unhelpful it is. How it tries to tear down important works and reduce them as a competition. But because of the deeply misogynistic root on it all: that these shows could only get made for "diversity points." That the only reason they got these shows made wasn't because of the blood sweat and tears of queer people working in an industry that is hostile to them. a negation and erasure of their effort.

Seriously, people! Can we STOP using The Owl House to tear down She-Ra and Steven Universe!!? Hearing others refer to The Owl House as "the anti-She-Ra", "the anti-Steven Universe" or "what She-Ra/Steven Universe should've been" makes my blood boil to no end! Do you realize that Dana Terrace, Rebecca Sugar and ND Stevenson are mutual friends who respect each other and their work? Not to mention how they helped paved the way for one another: For instance, without Rebecca Sugar fighting Cartoon Network for Steven Universe to be openly queer, there would be no She-Ra and without She-Ra, there would be no Owl House.

We need to stop tearing queer creators down just to put others on a pedestal. It no longer becomes about "wanting diversity and representation" but about turning "diversity and representation" into some elitist, gatekeeping competition. And that....that is just wrong.

For the record: I love all three series.

Ok but imagine if ND Stevenson, Rebecca Sugar, and Dana Terrace all worked together on a cartoon

And what do you think you'd understand?

I'm a boy, no, I'm a man

You can't take me and throw me away

And how can you learn what's never shown?

Yeah, you stand here on your own

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real

Wanna touch things I don't feel

Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change?

They're the ones that stay the same

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here

The Witch Boy: A Book Recommendation

So, I bought some books from the closest Books a Million and came across this adorable, fun little graphic novel.

“The Witch Boy” centers around a boy named Aster living in a world rich in shapeshifters and witches. Per tradition, boys grow up as shapeshifters and girls grow up as witches— no exceptions of the contrary. But, Aster has other interests and wishes to pursue witchcraft despite this tradition. Through the story he meets a spunky human girl named Charlie, whom he quickly becomes friends with. Along the way, the threat of his sudden missing family members and demons hang over him.

I adore this little graphic novel. Finished it in under an hour. It’s a nice little fantasy story. I really wished it was longer, actually. I’d love to see more of this world’s magic system, it seems fascinating! I’d definitely dabble in shapeshifting as a girl, lol. It’s got some fun characters and wholesome little LGBTQ+ nods. Also there’s a brief Steven Universe cameo and I just—

Charlie and Aster are such wholesome friends. Again, I wish this story were longer. I wanna see more of these characters and learn more about them and their personalities. It’s got a “big family” dynamic going on and I love those in fictional works. :3

Anyhow, this is a little book recommendation for this sweet little graphic novel. :)

EDIT: THERE’S TWO MORE BOOKS I NEED THEM NOOOWWW! Read tags to see me descend into madness.

Ray Stevenson RIP

Top Roles (imo)

7. Roger Wesley, The Other Guys

Funny film but Ray is under utilized in this one

6. Isaak Sirko, Dexter

Ray is great, cool as ice in this one, just wish he got to do more

5. Volstagg, Thor franchise

A favorite character of mine from the comics. Ray looked great for the big screen adaptation but again Ray didn't get to do much after the first film

4. Frank Castle, The punisher: Warzone

Love this character. Not my favorite Punisher iteration but at least this time Marvel had him flex his acting muscles a bit more

3. Titus Pullo, Rome

A fantastic series and Ray provides a lot of the levity but still a cool character when he needs to be. This is where I first became a fan.

2. Baylan Skoll, Ashoka

The main reason I wanted to watch the show tbh and can I say... HE KILLED IT. Ice cold. The fans will miss him but it makes an amazing final piece to his filmography and legacy.

1. Edward Teach/Blackbeard, Black Sails

Holy crap. This is Ray at his best, no question. A phenomenal show with all round great performances but Ray stands out for me. He fills the larger than life role of Blackbeard and then some, giving the real life legend humanity and relatability. Truly a massive talent and he will be missed.

RIP Ray Stevenson 1964-2023

If we locked ND Stevenson and Guillermo Del Toro in a room together for 24 hours the result would be the most intense and beautiful story about the meaning of love, family, and what it means to be human but if we let that happen no one would be ready for it and it would be like looking into the sun

BATTLEWORLD: RUNAWAYS (2015) #1

By N.D. Stevenson and Sanford Greene

[jisreal64]

You know, I keep getting harassment messages from Wish Haters, Nimona fans, and Disney Haters. To combat this, here is a meme I made that describes my opinion on Nimona:

[nelson-riddle-me-this]

Do we think B.J. Hunnicutt was like watching Animaniacs with his grandkids in the 90s and thought to himself "Hawk would love this", called him up only to hear the show coming thru Hawkeye's phone but Hawkeye pretends for the bit of it all that he's not watching cartoons?
