marvelous misadventures of flapjack is literally such a gay and transgender show but i can't tell for the life of me tell if it's actually on purpose or not

#the s1 finale is about a man so beautiful that he has to hide his face under a sack or else he gets bombarded #primarily by other men who just want to look at him. like so badly that they'll pay him #there was that ep i posted about last night where flapjack literally experiences transphobia and dysphoria #and then gets gender affirming surgery #k'nuckles expresses an extreme dislike for women's appearances and then claims to see the most beautiful woman in the world #and said woman is a mirror with a wig on it #in an episode that surrounds wishes from mermaids' tears k'nuckles wishes to be 'myself as a woman. just for a minute' #there was the beard episode where it's established that k'nuckles's whiskers are fake #and that tons of the contestants of the beard contest are women who grow beards naturally #the winner of the contest is a woman and her prize? a date with peppermint larry's daughter. who is excited for it #and just in general. flapjack is an extremely effeminate little boy who's established as the most likable person in stormalong #ntm it's made by the same ppl who later made adventure time and gravity falls and they like #genuinely kinda laid a lot of groundwork for modern lgbt rep in cartoons #ok to rb #WAIT JUST REMEMBERED ANOTHER BIG ONE- #in one ep flapjack gets a crush on a girl that makes him produce cartoon hearts that peppermint larry wants to harvest from him #bc they're like a delicacy #only for it to turn out that all along the floating hearts were 'blood gnats' that were hatching from eggs that got laid in his ears #and like. flapjack is literally being made extremely sick from the expectations of love for a girl being pushed on him by the town #and rather than being disgusted that there were blood gnats coming out of his head this whole time #flapjack is delighted to discover that this means he was never in love #and the girl - who was disgusted to think that flapjack was in love with her - is equally delighted #they end the episode bidding each other farewell saying 'bye i don't love you!!!! :D' 'bye i don't love you too!!!!!' #like it's just off the charts #but at the same time! there's plenty of plausible deniability that it's just the absurd nature of the show's comedy #so who knows how intentional it was
