The erasure of Andi Mack makes me so sad as someone who watched it as it was airing. I understand the show had issues regarding a Certain Actor, but it still makes me really sad for the people who worked on it. And because the show is such a gem. I want to write about Andi Mack in general one day, but because it's pride month I want to briefly talk about the show through that lens specifically.

Firstly, Andi Mack has so many episodes missing on Disney+ AND DisneyNow that it would be impossible to try to watch the series in full by using any of these apps. Until recently, DisneyNow had completely removed Andi Mack from its app, and put it back on with only an incomplete season three and without any of the games that were there originally (like Andi's Texts). This, I'm assuming, has to do with that Certain Actor, but the missing episodes has also made including Cyrus in any pride posts or collections harder than it should be (more on that in a second).

On Disney+, there is a "Pride Collection" which does not include anything Andi Mack related despite Cyrus being the first openly gay main character on Disney Channel. His coming out scenes (plural because of the individual scenes with Buffy, Andi and then Jonah) were extremely prominent not only to real people, but also to Cyrus' character as a whole. Two out of the three episodes where Cyrus comes out - "Hey, Who Wants Pizza?" (season 2, episode 1) | "Cyrus' Bash-Mitzvah!" (season 2, episode 13) | "One in a Minyan" (season 3, episode 11) - are not even available on Disney+, nor are any of them on DisneyNow (sidebar, Andi Mack isn't featured on DisneyNow 's pride section either). What's even more frustrating is that the series finale, "We Were Here", where Cyrus and TJ are confirmed to have mutual feelings for each other, are available on both Disney+ AND DisneyNow, yet it does not feature on either app's pride sections. Cyrus being gay wasn't just implied, he literally says the words "I'm gay" the third time he comes out and the second time he clearly says he has a crush on Jonah. It's not easy to overlook him as gay, and as a character who should be included in those pride collections, so his omission is clearly deliberate.

Even if the coming out episodes weren't featured, at the very least, any episode with Cyrus and TJ after they became friends should count; episodes like "For the Last Time", "The Cake That Takes the Cake", "Mount Rushmore or Less", "Something to Talk A-Boot" and of course the series finale. Surprising no one, only three of the Tyrus episodes I listed (and there are more) are actually on Disney+. I mean, they included a Miraculous episode in the Disney+ "Pride Episodes" collection that had the most minute blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene of Alec in a wig, so why not include any episode at all with TJ and Cyrus? Idk the whole thing is just very frustrating for so many reasons.

Edit: if anyone is interested in putting together a fan collection of art, stories etc etc of Andi Mack or letters detailing what the show meant to you that we could somehow share with Terri Minsky to let her know how much we appreciate her and Andi Mack, please dm me. There has to be some way we can show her that we haven’t forgotten about the show or her. I can always make another post if there’s enough interest to spread the word

i have no idea if literally anyone will know what im talking about … but byler is sooooo tyrus coded and i don’t mean the relationship itself but the culture surrounding it and the show.. tyrus is like byler for babies. like when i was 13 i was all for tyrus and now im 18 watching st for the first time and its like the same experience

[etincelise]

I think I have a superpower

So the buck being bi thing just made me realize something. I think I have a superpower. I just started watching the series as it comes out this season right, well this season is when they made buck canonically bi. This has happened before for me. I started watching supernatural as it came out on the last season. They made Cas and Dean Canon in the last season. I started watching teen Wolf as it came out on the last season, They made Lydia and stiles canon in the last season. I started watching Andy Mack in the last season. They made Cyrus and TJ canon in the last season. It’s happened other times too but those are the times it happened with the BIGGEST ships.

EDIT: SAME WITH GINA AND E.J. IN HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL THE MUSICAL THE SERIES. AND CARLY AND FREDDIE IN THE NEW ICARLY SERIES!!!!!!

EDIT X2: Never Have I Ever, and Nancy Drew as well

When I was in high school: Chicago Med, The Mentalist, Awkward, The Fosters, Timeless, Superstore, the list goes on, this is WEIRD

[snaplight-anxiety]

I cannot decide bc i love them all equally, so;

[xvxbasil]

All I’m gonna say is this: Cyrus wearing one of TJ’s well worn band shirts.

(It’s too big on him)

I’ll write a one shot or 5+1 fic abt this if it gets three or more interactions 😁

Ok I’ve got like 3 brain cells but. Achilles and Patroclus were the blue print for queer mlm couples in media. Think of it Achilles is the nick Nelson, TJ Kippen, Will Solace type and Patroclus is the Charlie Spring, Cyrus Goodman, Nico Di Angelo type.

[thatoneao3author]

writing a shameless gallavich au and I had a scene where they emotionally bond on a swingset and now i’m getting violent war flashbacks to my tyrus andi mack days 

[scaregutz]

i will never get over them, im not sorry

[cyrus-badman]

Okay so idk if anyone is reading this but just in case (or maybe for my sanity) I'll share some of my andi mack headcanons!

Kippen siblings (obviously bc kippen siblings are so fr)

Amber always teases TJ about Cyrus but she's actually really happy he's finally found someone who has made him a better person and who makes him happy

TJ teases Amber about Andi all the time but in retaliation Amber brings up Cyrus and TJ shuts all the way up

Every once in a while (more so when their parents were in a tough place financially) they'll have sleepovers (aka Amber comes into TJ's room with the cat Macaroni (I heard another author use this name in their fic and omg I can totally see TJ naming him that and Amber's like TJ what the fuck he's a CAT and TJ's like so? And so the cat was officially named after TJ's favorite meal) and lay on his bed until he wakes up to the sound of Macaroni's loud-ass purring straight in his hear and they talk about everything and nothing, but usually steer clear of anything too serious bc if they walk on that ground one of them is definitely gonna get mad and then nobody's happy) and sometimes Marty will join them (usually when he's having his own sleepover with TJ but then Amber intrudes bc she's Amber and she always wanted a little brother ("fuck you Amber!") and then TJ will threaten to hit her but he does nothing obviously bc he loves his siblings

Marty is like practically adopted by the Kippens and he's over there like 24/7 when he doesn't have track or basketball practice (he makes the freshman team when they get to high school bc I said so)

TJ and Marty share a braincell with Jonah

Maybe in a different universe, we’ll be together.

And they were.

The cheerful and selfless dark-haired sweethearts and their confident and endearing golden haired lovers.
