I Know April Fools Is A Terrible Time To Post Serious And Hot Takes But Oh Well Serious Hot Take Time

i know april fools is a terrible time to post serious and hot takes but oh well serious hot take time

i always found it really strange how pretty much any media creator who gives lgbtq+ rep (dana terrace, nintendo rebecca sugar, ) are always the ones who get the most absolute hate across tumblr, twitter, and pretty much every other social media

like i get people want the best representation possible but its so odd to me people attack those who give it instead of those who don't, creators who queerbait, creators who outright refuse to

i mean dana terrace got her whole show and passion shortened to give us such beyond amazing rep, nintendo has removed gender choices from most main games and heavily pushed lgtbq+ games like fire emblem engage and splatoon, rebecca sugar has been through absolutely everything horrible cause of cartoon network giving us rep

and like. the latter two literally are hated by nearly all of tumblr and twitter (which are gradually becoming disturbingly similar)

and ive already started seeing people hate dana and go after her on social media for really dumb petty reasons, and with the owl house about to end she's probably gonna go through the same harshness rebecca sugar did

the internet really sucks, i wanna believe its just homophobes sneaking into these fanbases but wow

idk i think we should just appreciate creators who give us rep more. actually say thank you once in our lives instead of being awful to them. if we keep biting the hands that feed us we'll just starve. we should focus our efforts on complaining about those who oppress us and refuse to rep us

anyways thank you dana terrace thank you nintendo thank you rebecca sugar for everything you all have done

Donald Trump has been arrested

OH LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF RAINE AWWWW

I am screaming lmao also this reminds me of @rosewater1997

hunter becoming a palisman carver is just. christ, i can’t even fully describe it because i’m still actively sobbing but. is that not the embodiment of love? of healing? that he had that, he had a palisman, he had a friend, his first real friend. someone who would never hurt him, like he’s always been so used to. someone who was patient with him, loved him. and it got taken away, it got destroyed, and it hurt, it hurt, but he came back. flapjack is a part of him, tattooed on his skin and etched in stone forever, that love is everlasting. and now hunter shares it, and with every palisman he carves and every life he brings into this world flapjack returns a little more. how many flapjacks are there in the boiling isles, now? how many palismen, being there for kids when they have nothing else? helping them heal from their traumas? keeping them safe? loving them? flapjack isn’t gone, really. flapjack is in hunter’s eyes and scars and hands and in every single thing he makes. flapjack lives on.
