I love how inclusivity is handled in The Dragon Prince, here's why.

In most shows, as much as it bothers me to admit so, some people are right, inclusivity does feel forced sometimes. But it's not the characters' fault, it's not because of them being part of the lgbtq+ community, or being disabled, or being POC, or being strong women who do not conform to patriarchal standards.

It's not that.

It's that the show they are part of is a straight, white, abled parade - and notice, most of said shows won't even pass the Bechdel test.

So yes, in a show written by and aimed to straight, white, abled people, even I, a gay, non-binary, chronically ill person feel weird seeing charcters that are there just for the sake of inclusivity, albeit 'inorganic'.

In a show with the premise of "straight, white, abled men are the indiscussed MCs", seeing that one side-character that stands out and is often ridiculed and/or reduced to a single trait of their 'personality', such as 'the gay one', 'the asian one', 'the disabled one' (etc) is upsetting and feels uncomfortable as hell.

But TDP is different.

They immediately introduced powerful women, people of color, characters that are openly part of the lgbtq+ community, disabled characters etc. And not one of them per 'category', no. For the lgbtq+ community we have Amaya, Janai, Runaan, Ethari, Terry, Kazi. For the disabled community, we have Amaya again, Villads, and even a disabled wolf Ava. For the POC community, we have literally half of the cast, starting from King Harrow, then Ezran, every sunfire elf, Terry as well, etc. Same goes for women, who take up on roles that are rarely considered 'for women', like Opeli being the main member of the High Council, Amaya being the General, Rayla being the main Dragon Guard, Claudia being one of the main antagonists, etc.

Both main and side-characters are part of the communities, everything is so much more organic, enjoyable, thrilling.

We do not come in 'minor quantity'.

We are everywhere, among others, living our lives, doing our best, existing, thriving, proud. It's not just one or two of us among thousands. Surprise, 'categories' can mix! Just like I, a real human being, can be gay, enby as well as chronically ill, we can have characters like that as well! Amaya being lesbian and disabled, Terry being black and trans, Janai being black and lesbian, etc. And, another surprise, 'categories' don't define us. We don't 'shove it' in anyone's face like they say we do, we're just being us and cishets are upset because we don't conform to their sick standards.

Inclusivity is organic in TDP because nobody in that universe questions anyone else's color, gender, orientation, etc. And it's organic because we didn't have to wait half a season to see a black character, or a disabled character, or a gay character.

The key to inclusivity is to realise that we aren't just 'bonuses'. Fill shows and comics with lgbtq+, POC, disabled, and female characters. Not just one every 15, 20 characters. Everywhere.

We are everywhere! We are proud! We deserve to be seen! We deserve to be depicted as the normal people we are, without diminishing our traits but without making them our whole personality either. Treat us like human beings, be considerate like you should be with everyone on the planet of course, but treat us like humans.

Antagonising people who are 'different' (in the mind of straight, white, abled people) will not suppress us. We will keep insisting until you hear us. It's literally one of the main messages, one of the main teachings of TDP and it's so damn important.

Every single person on Earth should watch it. Every single kid should be introduced to TDP at an early age. Every old bigot should watch it, as well. Everybody. Even if it's considered a y7 (y10 for s4 and s5 apparently) show, everyone, no matter their age, should give it a try and watch it thoroughly.

Lots of love to the creators and everyone, literelly everyone involved in the production of one the best, most entertaining, most exciting, most formative shows ever. Please, keep it up! And thank you so much!

Our favorite nonbinary sunfire bookworm and interpreter is actually quite tall

Taller than Amaya too, and she`s wearing her armor.

Even without the horns.

MOOOOOORE MATORAN

[randomwriteronline]

I think it would be soooo fucking funny if Velika had a favorite MU being and that happened to be Kazi. Just a really powerful cosmic creature with incredibly inscrutable plans that no one can figure out who is also simply enamored by a singular red blood cell due to how viscerally said cell hates his stupid fucking sphinx ass riddles. Velika twirling his hair and giggling and kicking his feet and telling the other Great Beings how there's this silly little matoran he gave a consciousness to that hes faking abt not having a lil bit of a crush on (in the way the creator of an oc loves said oc) but he do <3 and the Great Beings look down and Kazi is there waving a fucking knife welded onto his arm and screaming at the clouds about how hes going to shank the shit out of Velika if he shows his stupid face to tell him another goddamn riddle again and the Great Beings turn to this disgrace of a peer they have and go why are you like this

#bionicle #velika #kazi #great beings #random talks #theres no romance involved just a horrible person adoring his biggest hater ever specifically bc hes his biggest hater ever #making weirder more complex riddles just to see kazi use every drop of his willpower not to instantly crazy murder him #velika just goes teehee :3 hehe X3 each time and Kazi is every day a little closer to clobbering the eyes out of his face

Hey so like. Has anyone noticed how "Gold Good Guy" (the canon set-form for Lhikan's Turaga form) is basically just Kazi with less pieces and different legs?

Janai and Amaya and Kazi! 

Love how casually they both are. Janai just pouring (probably tea) and Amaya polishing her shield. Because what else would she do :D

Another Bionicle question: how do you think Kazi would react to Velika being not only a Great Being, but the one responsible for his very sentience, and also being a secret evil one who wants to dominate Spherus Magna?

Cheesy Pick Up Lines

Callum: Want to go outside and get some fresh air with me? You just took my breath away. 

Claudia: We’re not socks, but I think we’d make a great pair.

Ezran: Are your parents bakers? Because you're a cutie pie.

Terry: If people were flowers, I’d pick you.

Rayla: Your hand looks lonely. Can I hold it for you?

Amaya: You know what you'd look beautiful in? My arms.

Viren: Are you a magician? Because when I’m looking at you, you make everyone else disappear!

Janai: Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?

Soren: Are you my appendix? Because this feeling in my stomach makes me want to take you out.

Kazi: It’s a good thing I have my library card, because I am totally checking you out.
