Did you know they had a array of great supporting characters in toh that were interesting yet never given the limelight,
Oh and happy pride month and Juneteenth
So let’s get down to reading this show to filth
i swear the toxic fandom needs to be address on this topic and who you can like and hang with, depending who on a ship or if you love and hate the series.
It’s embarrassing on how others bully others for it ,
we all know the show showed great lgbt rep, but it had more to offer if the representation wasnt shoehorned at certain points,
(I’m aware of the Disney controversy)
and no disney is not to blame,
however it’s a proven fact ever since Re-watching the series, I felt like the narrative lore and storytelling was sacrificed over fandom discourse.
Pushing aside content for discourse knowing yall would attack anyone even reasonable or civil mind people FROM CREATOR OR STAFF ALIKE SO LETS DISCUSS it (DONT HATE APPRECIATE)
also felt Amphibia did IT better on everything. With flawless execution, So hope we have a chat so be nice.
[IMAGE ID: Two pages of a black and white comic.
PAGE ONE
PANEL ONE:
Luz stares up in fear, caught in the relic room of the castle.
"Why if it isn't Eda's human pet!"
PANEL TWO:
Lilith looms over her.
"How perfect."
PANEL THREE:
A distant view of one of the castle's towers.
PANEL FOUR:
Caleb is throwing a pot on his potter's wheel. He's wearing an apron and his reading glasses, his hair tied up in a bun. He's sticking his tongue out, calm and concentrated as he works.
PANEL FIVE:
CRASH!
Caleb jerks comically in surprise, splattering his pottery everywhere.
PANEL SIX:
BAM BAM BAM!
Caleb takes off his glasses, turning towards the noise coming from the nearby window.
PAGE TWO
PANEL ONE:
The racket continues, overwhelming the panel.
An overhead view as Caleb stands up on his crutches and moves towards the noise.
"What in the Titan's name is going on??" he wonders.
PANEL TWO:
Caleb looks out the window.
"I can't see anything from here," he thinks.
PANEL THREE:
The noise breaks off into a screech, followed by silence.
A close up of Caleb looking through the bars of his window, eyebrows raised in bemusement.
PANEL FOUR:
His expression changes to uncertainty.
"It stopped..." he thinks.
PANEL FIVE:
Hunter throws the door open with a BANG, Belos following behind him.
"DAD!" he yells happily.
Caleb jolts, startled.
PANEL SIX:
"You'll never guess what just happened!" says Hunter excitedly.
Caleb turns to him, wiping the clay off his hands with a towel.
"Violence and destruction of property?"
"Well, yes," answers Hunter, "but--."
PANEL SEVEN:
Belos stands at Hunter's side and rests his hand on his shoulder. Hunter puts his hands on his hips and smiles at Caleb proudly.
"Lilith Clawthorne has finally captured the Owl Lady," says Belos.
PANEL EIGHT:
Caleb clutches his shirt as he looks at them, horrified. The panel around them is black except for the barred window behind him.
"She captured her own sister?" he asks.

with a caption like "Omg!! Powerful mother and son we love!" or anywhere along these lines (knowing me and my blog this would all be in caps but shush not the point of this post)
But then I noticed this
THEY BOTH HAVE TEARS IN THEIR EYES (there's the caps I was talking about hi)
WHY
WHY
THE ONLY ANSWER THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS A VERY OBVIOUS ONE THAT I'M NOT EVEN GONNA SAY
"[Canon Bisexual Character] should have been [gay / lesbian] so they ended up with [Same Sex Character]!"
Wow. That's so interesting! Because there is literally no reason you can't ship that bisexual character with the same sex character as is. No one on earth is stopping you. Bisexual people are attracted to the same sex. You can ship away without changing a single thing about them!
But you keep insisting they should have been lesbian or gay so they could date the same sex and... gosh. It almost seems like... you just hate that they are bisexual!
fandoms: guuuyyysss, pls use anti tags when talking negativly about the characters🥺🥺🥺 fans don't need to see how much you hate their faves!! pls be respectful🥺🥺🥺
also fandom about it's most hated characters: u fucking suck. no one likes you. if someone does like you im gonna assume the worst of those people. ew gross i hate you. only abuse apologists/homophobes/fascists/etc. would like them. how can anyone like them?? thank god no one likes you otherwise your fans would be annoyed by having to deal with this negativity and with people accusing them of being awful people...but they dont because no one likes you. did i mention how much i hate this stupid character-
me: you know i feel salty about how toh handled its characters of colour. let me go to the toh critical tags maybe i'll find people who share my sentiments.
the toh critical tags: "here's why killing off the genocidal white puritan was bad, actually. also huntlow bad."
every other fucking post is about how killing belos was bad or about how huntlow is bad. not a single post about how willow and gus got the short end of the stick in terms of screentime, ESPCIALLY gus whose episode was overshadowed by lumity, not a single post about how raine was reduced to eda's love interest and most of their screentime was them being brainwashed. not a single post about the copious amounts of white favourtism in the fandom to the point that they talk more about amity than luz, who they reduce to being amity's gf. no, lets advocate for the white colonizer!
