So It's My Birthday Today And My Parents Gave Me A Card As You Do But Edited The Card To Also Have 'they'

So it's my birthday today and my parents gave me a card as you do but edited the card to also have 'they' everytime 'she' was in it. So long story short, I ended up crying at the table.

Me: GOD I HATE SPOILERS

Also me: Still scrolls through spoiler-full tags searching for gay to hoard like a little gay squirrel

You just be watching a silly little show and...

WHAM!

They just hit you with the Honey Nut Feelios

ah its essential oils

Not to be gay on main

But, I just love 💫Women💫

I wish I had one

the owl house is a kids show.

no, listen to me. i say this with so much joy and emotion.

it’s a kids show.

a black latina bisexual neurodivergent witch is the protagonist of a kids show, and canonically is the love interest to a lesbian witch.

this show handles serious topics with such care and phrases/portrays it in ways children can understand. abusive parents, chronic illness/disability awareness, family isn’t bound by blood, forgiveness, healing, second chances… i could go on and on.

kids are watching this.

kids are watching this and taking this stuff in. they are recognizing toxic patterns, they are learning that found family is just as important and real as blood family. they are seeing themselves in these characters. they are seeing people who may have two moms, or two dads. they are seeing a black protagonist. they are seeing a latina protagonist. they are seeing a bisexual protagonist. they are seeing a lesbian character in the main cast. they are seeing a black boy in the main cast. they see people like them be represented.

i am so, so, so, so fucking grateful for this show. i grew up with gravity falls, and that show taught me so much. imagine what more gravity falls could’ve done if it was made in today’s era.

i’m so glad that there are kids who can grow up with this show.

thank you, owl house.
