I just rewatched the finale of diary of a future president and I can’t put into words how mad I am that Disney cancelled the show right when it introduced an all poc gay love triangle, like I wanna see that best friends to lovers slow burn pan out DISNEY

So, hsmtmts season 3, obx season 3, new pjo series, young royals season 2, bridgerton season 3, and heartstopper season 2 AND 3? My little fangirl heart is exploding right now. Well done netflix and disney+, I was losing hope after jatp and doafp got cancelled, but I dare say this mostly makes up for it.

what sucks about the death of "diary of a future president" is that it seemed to have had every factor working against it. nothing about its cancellation had to do with the quality of it. like, i truly believe if the show came out 5+ years earlier it would have been a hit (or maybe 5 years later? we're due for a renaissance of stories about the epic highs and lows of being a middle school girl imo).
there's a reason why people compare doafp to andi mack. both shows dealt with a ton of similar themes, really it's no wonder why AM fans were drawn to doafp. andi mack just had the fortune of airing when it did. throw in the lack of advertising + the all-at-once season drop of season 2 + i'd even argue the show being somewhat political in today's turbulent climate, it feels like this show was a recipe for failure.
so maybe there's another timeline where doafp aired in the 2010s on disney channel, or the CW like originally planned, and been a hit. maybe if we were lucky, the stars would have aligned for this show to get a proper finale. i would have liked to see that.
idk what the point of this post is. i guess i'm just still baffled that nothing seemed to work in this show's favor. it really truly is a hidden gem that didn't get the recognition it deserved, and i'll forever be bitter about that.

It’s been a long ass time since I’ve posted here, and I doubt anyone is favorable to seeing that I’ve only come up with content several months after saying I would, but uhhhh life sucked for a while, but I’ve been thinking abt watching doafp again and then I read a fic from a different fandom that inspired me and now im here. Soooo tentative tiny snippet I wrote abt Cartero after the season 2 finale?? It doesn’t go anywhere, and I don’t know if it well yet, but I happen to like it quite a bit :)
He hasn’t been this close to Liam since last year. He had wrapped himself up so completely in trying to stay away—To put a margin of distance between them till he could trust himself to not want to reach out and touch. To not put a hand on his shoulder, or thread his arm through Liam’s, or smooth out a crinkle between his eyebrows. Because CJ was right there, and made him feel perfectly lovely and wanted every time they kissed and it was horrible to want so immensely for something that wasn’t him.
It had felt better for a while. Felt like breathing for a couple of weeks, because he found himself enveloped in CJ’s easy affection and his smooth words and his dark, meaningful eyes. He liked, could love, CJ. It felt like a revelation to be with him in a way that didn’t feel slightly inauthentic or uncertain or tucked into a pocket of time where Bobby kept trying to remind himself to stay on this side of friendly.
— This is it!! There’s more I wrote after this but I lost the thread a bit afterwards and I don’t know if I like it entirely so it’s not here

Hey guys remember when we got 4 seasons of doafp and were renewed for a 5th because Disney would never cancel a show as good as this one. And Elena and Emilio tied and started working together and confessed their feelings for each other and we got more flash forwards and we had the super awesome and amazing lesbian wedding and Gabi and Sam got engaged at the end of season 3. And Bobby and CJ had cute couple moments but ended their relationship, peacefully of course and they decided to still be friends and then Cartero became a thing. And the Fandom grew a lot
Oh and all of the other characters were also super cool yeah like why would Disney cancel this show after season 2 that would've been a terrible and super bad idea

sorry to keep complaining on main but I need to vent about this
I’m just. So Upset. about this whole leak situation.
I’ve tried blocking tags. I’ve tried blocking people. I haven’t opened pinterest or youtube in two days. And it’s still not enough. I still have seen spoilers. Maybe not as many as I would have had I not taken those precautions, but still enough.
And I feel like I’m (and as I’m sure everyone else is) at such a crossroads because like. Now I have to make the decision of watching the leaked episode and not say a word about it or not watching it and risk getting even more spoiled? It’s only been two days how are any of us supposed to last two weeks? Am I just supposed to not go online for two entire weeks? What am I? A cavewoman? As much respect as I have for people who are capable of that I’m too weak-willed for that.
I saw a screenshot of a moment I know would have squealed at in delight had I seen it live, and instead it just made me way to throw up. One thing about me is I hate knowing other people are watching and enjoying something while I am missing out. You know, when Hollow Mind aired I had to work that day, so I set my alarm for 5:30 AM just so I could watch it and react to it before going to work and I was freaking happy to do so.
On the flip-side, when DOAFP season 2 aired I only got through an episode and a half before our internet completely shit the bed. I was so upset that I cried. It took 2 days to fix and when I finally got to see the episodes and got back online to talk about it, it felt like the hype on tumblr had completely died down already and I had missed it. That was 2 days, how is 2 weeks going to effect this fandom?
I was so excited to see this episode, and now my excitement has been completely ruined. I was literally talking to my therapist on Tuesday how I feel I have been so much better mentally recently than I was a year ago, largely in part due to having toh to focus on and the new episode to look forward to. And I know, I know. I knew from the beginning that staking so much of my mental health on one show was a bad idea but frick I couldn’t help it. I haven’t cried yet but man I’m getting close. I already laid face down on the floor a while. Is this a healthy reaction? No. But what else am I supposed to do. I’m trying so hard to remain optimistic, to tell myself that I don’t know the whole story and there will still be surprises, but the truth of the matter is I’m not excited for this episode now and that’s fucking sad.
We should be making theories right now. We should be writing fics and drawing art. We should be rewatching the previous episodes in preparation. And instead we’re fucking dodging leaks left and right.
I wanted so badly to finish my Gus x Matty reunion comic before ftf aired and that’s just been ruined for me. I was even hoping I might have time to do a Hunter x Willow comic too and it just feels pointless now. I am trying so hard to focus on drawing my comic and writing my Steve x Katya fic and I’m just struggling to focus on any of it because I’m too upset. And it sucks because I know if I’m not careful I could easily slip into a creative block again like I was exactly a year ago before toh altered my brain chemistry. I don’t want to go back to being depressed and uninspired like that again.
I don’t know what to do really. I know everyone in the fandom is going through the same thing, I just had to get my thoughts out, even though they are very self-centered. I just don’t know.

God bless HSMTMTS fans but it’s so funny when they (I claim HSMTMTS fanhood when it’s convenient to me so I’m they-ing them rn—All in good fun-ish but still) are like “Season 4 confirmed with any struggle??? WHAT???” cause it’s like. When have you had any struggle? DOAFP was cancelled after the second season, barely ever advertised, never had a big fan base even though the small one we had worked our asses off to promote it when Disney wouldn’t. DOAFP had more casual gay and Latino rep than HSMTMTS (don’t get me wrong though, I adore Carlos, my fellow queer Mexicoamericano) and they almost always kept us well-fed until they let it drop off and cancelled it and never let our campaigns for season 3 see the light of a beautiful goddamn day.
Y’all had season 2 confirmed??? Before season 1 was even over???? And I remember cause I was an avid watcher and thrilled when I heard the news which gives me license to say this?? You’ve had constant promotion and BTS videos and cast interviews and specials???
I know I sound rlly frustrated here, but I’m more amused than anything else (so like. A teensy but frustrated. But mostly entertained. And snickering virtually)

Me during the Bobby and CJ's date: they won't kiss. It's disney and Camila and Danielle already kissed this episode, there's no way we are gonna have another queer kiss
CJ: I've been wanting to kiss you, is that okay?

tell me why i, an almost 18 year old, resonated so much with doafp season 2 when it’s aimed at TWEENS???
elenas relationship with her mom, first of all, was so relatable and heartbreaking and endearing and ????? just so good ???
and bobby’s struggles with emotional vulnerability?? for him to see that talking about your feelings can make things a lot easier and they might be awkward at first but you can get past it???
overall such a good season!! i’m sure parents will love watching it with their kids too

watching doafp season 2 (I ain't done so don't talk to me about it yet lol) episode 5 and HE SAID IT!! HE FREAKING SAID IT!! THAT'S LIKE, WHAT, THE THIRD TIME ON DISNEY?? AND THE SECOND COMING OUT?? IDK CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. Seriously though we were like screaming for him to do it like PLEASE BESTIE and then he DID and we L O S T O U R M I N D S!!! We had to pause and take a minute. HOOOO okay I'm having emotions. Still XD. I was already having emotions about "I love y'all but it's really great and healthy to move on but ahhh my boy but good for you" and then they hit me with THIS. Anyways, lol, I'm a mess and I loved it.

Alright, before we start, this is JUST MY OPINION, and you are entitled to disagree. I'm also part of the lgbtqia community, so this isn't like, a straight person's pov about this whole situation.
Do I believe that it is better to cast queer actors in queer roles? Yes. Obviously it is amazing to give opportunities to queer actors to represent the community. HOWEVER, if it comes down to it, I personally do not think there is much issue with a straight actor playing a queer role, but ONLY if the actor is being extremely respectful about it.
Example, Charlie Bushnell playing Bobby cañero-reed in doafp. (Spoiler alert) Before filming the season 2 coming out scenes, Charlie made sure to consult people of the community and ask them about their experiences. He listened attentively to their stories, and made sure to learn so that he could play the role as accurately as he could without having experienced it himself.
Owen Joyner playing Alex mercer in jatp is another example. He made sure to talk to Kenny Ortega (the director, who is gay) to make sure he was playing the role accurately and respectfully, to do justice to the community.
I'm sure there are other examples, but these are the ones I can think of right now. And both did a fantastic job. While I would definitely prefer if a queer actor is playing a queer role, I don't think it's horrible if a straight actor does it, so long as they make sure to do it with utmost respect, bcs at the end of the day those characters are still representation for our community.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading lol. Guess I had a lot to say after diving into kit Connor Twitter.

Can I just say how much I appreciate Diary of a Future President for having a main gay character where the conflict isn’t about him not being accepted by those around him,
I think not being accepted is something that should be represented, but it’s nice to see a queer character who has a family that accepts him and friends that accept him, yet still shows that just because the people in your life accept you doesn’t mean it’s easy or less valid to be a part of the lgbtqia community.
I also like that the show didn’t treat coming out as one singular event, and showed every time Bobby came out. The one with Elena really killed me
