#y’all hate interracial people and interracial relationships

All of this hatred for Elemental is so corny. I understand where people are coming from: you have all of these forbidden love stories with straight people, and people will watch these and then go out and be homophobic. Even so, this movie has NOTHING to do with Disney censoring LGBTQ+ representation. The story is important to the director because it was inspired by his interracial relationship and how his parents (and society) reacted to it. Yet all of these white gays want to make everything about themselves and accuse the movie of being homophobic, while disregarding how interracial relationships, straight or otherwise, have been discriminated in society. (Before you accuse me of being homophobic, I am queer myself)
If you don’t like the movie? Fine whatever that’s your prerogative. But actively nitpicking every single damn thing about the movie and hoping that it flops? Please get a life instead of getting so angry over a movie. Y’all genuinely don’t care for animation and animators whatsoever. We can advocate for more LGBTQ+ characters and no censorship instead of attacking other movies. Or maybe, just maybe, you could seek out indie queer content instead of relying on a corporation for it.
(Banner just in case this blows up)
Tumblr media
EDIT: Now the narrative has shifted to “it’s a bad allegory for racism” even though the damn movie isn’t out yet! The director is literally Korean, and the voice actors playing Wade and Ember are also ethnic minorities (Wade’s VA is black and Ember’s is Chinese-American). I don’t think it will be like Zootopia, where it was like “oh it’s justified that we oppress certain animals because they are inherently dangerous.”
They also say “why not tell a story with real people?” “Don’t make it an allegory” IT’S A FUCKING PIXAR MOVIE YOU BLOCKHEADS. All of their movies are about talking inanimate objects, and even their movies about humans have fantastical elements. For example, Turning Red uses Mei’s turning into a red panda as an allegory for puberty. The Toy Story movies represent everything from parent-child relationships to the stages of life. Finding Nemo is about the stages of grief. Monsters Inc is about capitalism, and so on.
Istg y’all are just looking for reasons to hate the movie. Grow the fuck up.

🛑 Major SATSV Spoilers 🛑
I recently saw SpiderMan: Across the Spider-Verse and it was amazing. I love all the hype the movie is getting, but I’ve been seeing a lot of Gwiles (Gwen x Miles) slander for the dumbest reasons ever. So, I thought I would just debunk some of them because it’s clear you antis struggle with media literacy so let’s go.
1. “Gwen and Miles should’ve just stayed friends they were so much better platonic”
Saying this just makes me think you watched the first movie with your eyes closed because in what world were they ever “just friends”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can’t say they were better platonic when they were never even platonic to begin with. Both Miles and Gwen had a mutual crush on one another in the first film so they were never “just friends” + the first film was literally building up their relationship.
2. “Gwen betrayed miles in SATSV she’s fake”
No, no she didn’t, Gwen didn’t invent the laws of the multi-verse and she doesn’t run the spider society. It’s not Gwen’s fault that Spider-Man becoming an orphan or half an orphan is a multiversal constant.   There’s nothing in her power she can do to change that and Miles being chased by all the other Spider people wasn’t Gwen‘s fault either that was Miguel’s.
Saying stuff like “she should have told Miles about what was going to happen to his dad” again just makes me think you watched the movie with your eyes closed because Gwen wasn’t even allowed to interact with Miles and if she told Miles (A SpiderMan that isn’t even part of the spider society) about what was going to happen to his dad Miguel would’ve found out and would’ve kicked her out of the spider society. She was almost kicked out in the first place for even talking to him imagine what would have happened if she told him about his dad and if she was kicked out she would’ve been homeless because her dad disowned her. She also states in the movie that she didn’t know how to tell him about it which makes sense because she hasn’t seen him in over a year so how would something that big and consequential come up in a conversation.
Not to mention, she’s young and inexperienced as a hero she’s gonna screw up and make mistakes she was put in a completely unfair circumstance by the adults around her and had an enormous amount of pressure put on her shoulders. Blaming the teenage girl for a situation like this instead of Miguel and Jessica or even Peter B is absolutely wild.
3. “They have No chemistry”
Now this one is just completely biased because you know damn well…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These stills alone just prove you wrong because no way you watched the movie, saw the way they looked at each other, and interacted and actually said “they don’t have chemistry”. 💀
4. Lastly I’ve seen people hate on Gwiles solely based on the fact that it’s an interracial relationship and the fact that this is a problem in 2023 is mind boggling. Some of y’all are just racist bigoted people who need to learn how to stfu.

why can’t black women have a romance holy shit. every person who hates sydcarmy is talking about some “why can’t men and women ever just be friends” like that’s not all we’ve been allocated for decades. i understand that a lot of women particularly 👋🏻 women want stories that don’t revolve around romance, and hey i like those stories too! BUT black women have not had the same oppurtunities to just be love interests in the same way y’all have. We’ve been relocated to undesirable best friend roles or oversexualized booty calls. Y’all swear we have so much representation and yet can only name like 10 shows spanning over DECADES to prove us wrong like if there’s so much romantic content with black women as leads why the fuck are you talking about the flash and the walking dead?
and then we have the marcus and sydney brigade. the ONLY reason y’all want marcus and sydney together is cause they both black, they have zero chemistry. prove to me otherwise, quickly. I understand that people are tired of seeing interracial relationships (which is not really a problem but that’s a post for another day 😒 y’all swear that “the media” is trying to trick black women into marrying out or something stupid like that when we all know black women marry in their race more than any other demographic. imma just say black women should go where they are loved and fuck the noise) but y’all do this with nearly every show. Pairing characters together cause they’re the same race even though they have nothing in common. Nonblack people love doing this which i know why but again not the post.
But what REALLY pisses me off is calling Chefs Kiss a mentor/mentee relationship and then proceeding to ship sydney and MARCUS???
Tumblr media
like you can’t be serious. carmy so clearly sees syd as his equal proven by the fact he wants to revamp his BUSINESS, his LIVELIHOOD with her. someone he’s known the least amount of time.
We’ve discussed this before but we know why Jeremy is probably wary about romance because of how hypersexual his previous job was and i get that, but I have yet to see a sydcarmy fan who wants them rawdogging on the kitchen floor. Idk it’s strange the way this show is edited and the music choices, and the script is written if they intended to go no romance for them. I’m really interested to see what their dynamic is like next season if they’re going to change it moving forward to dissuade fans from shipping by separating the two(like stucky vibes) it won’t work but that’ll be very annoying.
The WORST thing the show runners could do is insert a new love interest, that would piss me off to no end and i would stop watching the show. In the latest article they said(writer or show runner don’t remember) they wanted a show with no romance plot so they better fucking stick to it. I don’t want carmy to get to a later season and they’ve introduced a palm colored love interest for him. i swear to god i will turn the show off.
Now I personally will continue to ship them i’ve done so with other ships with far less, but that doesn’t mean i’m not a little annoyed. I hope they stick to their word if that’s the case.
ALSO we need more black women as romantic leads so go read the brown sister novels (chloe brown, dani brown, and eve brown) and hype them up so we can get movies( or in a perfect world a TV SERIES 🤭) based on them
TLDR: it’s dumb to hate sydcarmy cause you personally hate interracial relationships, if they mean no romance they should do no romance, that article was dumb and didn’t need to come out when we’ve already heard from both lead actors they don’t like the ship. we got it the first time. also read the brown sisters and spread the word so we can get a tv show about them thanks.

Hating gwen cause she's white and gwiles cause it's an interracial relationship is very sad. Miles isn't gonna end up with margo. He doesn't like her or know her. You wanting him to be with margo just because she's black and not gwen just cause she's white even though they have a very well developed relationship is weird.
i never said that i hate her because she’s white. i hate her because of what she did to miles. i hate gwiles because it’s like every other interracial SHIP, but i clarified that in some of my other asks. can’t read but whatever, so basically you say it’s weird to want more black love in the world? you’re the weird one, gwen HAS hurt miles time after time but y’all don’t pay any attention to miles to know that. i want him to be with margo OR hobie because they helped him and weren’t afraid to like gwen. also because they just seem to have better relationships with each other.
if you call ‘ghosting your crush for almost year, hurting him by not telling him that you knew his dad was possibly gonna die, disrespecting his family and hurting him again when you sided with the same man that BODYSLAMMED you AND humiliated you in front of the people you thought that would accept you’ an developed relationship then i don’t know what to tell you.
get this, people can have different opinions from you, baby’s first growth lesson !

It’s interesting but not surprising in the least to see some of the reactions people have towards edwina not returning, like personally I’m relived charithra is moving on to other things and mainly away from the vitriol this fandom provided, however………and I HATE to say this out loud bc I truly love kanthony but as a brown woman……having ur sole brown female leads entire storyline cater to her white husband and his white family (like I’m not shocked or mad but y’all it’s not revolutionary). Like im seeing a lot of people go “ah yes edwina won’t return to still be /sad/ about her failed marriage/ lack or prospects (which she has EVERY right to)” or “what if the writers create more edwina/Kate conflict” or most annoying “what if she ruins kanthonys happiness” it all just centres around others without realizing that now BECAUSE kanthony season is done…….bringing her back they were so much more free to write ANYTHING for her. In s2 she was tied to that structure but now? She’s also not tied to Julia Quinn’s whole thing on canon love interests…….*whispers* we could’ve gotten a queer arc or have A LOVE STORY EITHER BETWEEN TWO BROWN CHARACTERS or even like a interracial relationship between two poc. They could’ve written a arc between her and the queen. Edwina very easily could’ve settled into her own arc the way Benedict/Colin/Eloise have but all I hear is how she would affect Kate and her yt man and like……….I’m sorry a show that prides on diversity has to have more than what??? 2 woc leads…….yikes

Another vent post sorry guys I’m not posting HOW lately and have just been complaining
/ racism, misogyny
Today one of the regulars that comes in was talking about mexicans a lot, he’s done this a few times, this man can’t breathe without bringing up politics and theories. Anyways he was talking about how he served in Vietnam (dude ALWAYS wears his veterans hat) to a couple or other guys, and he goes “we should use the border as target practice, get some napalm out there, that’ll solve your border problem” and I kinda stopped what I was doing bc,, wtf ?? No one batted and eye but when I looked up everyone was looking at me. Not the first time I’ve heard some crazy shit, one of our regulars told me to work with my shirt off if I wanted more tips, men stare at my chest constantly, they think they’re slick reading what’s on my shirt back to me and acting interested, y’all would be amazed how many grown men looove the Big Red soda, they’d have you thinking they were it’s #1 fan. Like buddy you’re not fooling me. Also if I had a nickel for how many times I’ve gotten a comment that was something along the lines of “you got her training to be a good housewife” what if I put you in the deep fryer. anyways I hate it here, also my boss makes me do everything and it’s mostly me and her there, on my feet for 7-8 hours just to get bitched at her for literally nothing, girl why are you huffing and puffing cause I asked you what the order was ?? Also won’t let me do things and then complains to customers that she “can’t depend on any help” and that “no one wants to work” but like.. girl please don’t lie. Also like not even 4 weeks in and I’ve already heard soemone say the fucking hard r ?? And that they didn’t like the last waitress (one of my family friends) bc she talked about her interracial relationship and that people that come in don’t like that kind of stuff or support it. I’m done, I’m gonna dip and go to a Mexican restaurant fuck this.

““Fucking men is unsafe” isn’t hatred and even if it was we’re entitled to hate our oppressors :)”
Are you against interracial relationships then? Do you warn black people not to fuck their oppressors by dating white people?
Honestly lesbians on here love to pretend that they are politely trying to help straight women and the straight women are flipping out and accusing them of heterophobia or some shit. What’s really happening most of the time is the lesbians are smugly, CONSTANTLY pointing out how you are taking your life in your hands or whatever by fucking the only people who you are sexually attracted to and that it’s stupid and dangerous to fuck men, and het women are getting tired of it and telling y’all to get your noses out of their business.
Imagine if, in response to a lesbian complaining about societal homophobia, some straight person said “well, you could always just NOT date the same sex and stay single, if you don’t want to be discriminated against. You could always just not express affection with your partner in public if you don’t want to the harassed.” “It’s safer not to date the same sex” is the exact same as “it’s safer not to date men” and I know you’ll argue they are different but fundamentally they are not. Where the “consequences” are coming from is different but the sentiment is not, the message is not (in that they are both useless and stupid things to say).
A huge amount of you will also pretend the “straight women are idiot cocksuckers and are complicit in their own abuse if they choose to date men” either doesn’t go on or is hugely exaggerated. It’s not. I see it constantly. And when it’s not that blunt (which it often is), it’s false concern and patronising chastisement about how you should’ve known what you were in for, subtle victim blaming shit.
Let me let you in on a secret: straight women KNOW what men are like. In fact, they know FAR better than lesbians do what men are like. Obviously. Maybe if you don’t want them butting in on lesbian discourse and talking about how lesbians should conduct their relationships you should stop pretending they are too stupid to realise that not dating men is an option. “Oh well I’m just letting them know they don’t have to” Jesus Christ. They KNOW! Lots of straight women are voluntarily single.
(And if it helps, I’m a lesbian. So don’t go accusing me of believing in heterophobia or whatever. I KNOW you won’t believe that because god forbid a lesbian rolls her eyes at this shit and goes against the current stupid take but there you go. It’s almost like I actually have empathy for my fellow women regardless of their sexuality, and this tribal shit is stupid and ruining women’s chance to have class consciousness.)
I’m white, so no, I don’t go telling POC in this country who they should date because that’s not my place. That’s a stupid comparison to make given that lesbians (and other straight or bi women) pointing out that dating men can be dangerous are a minority, and also given that in this situation it is a marginalized minority (lesbians) pointing this out to the majority (osa women), not the majority oppressor (white people) telling Black people not to date them. A closer equivalent would be men telling women not to date them, and even then the metrics are off. I don’t know what your race is but if you’re white, it is time to stop making comparisons to race. If your argument can stand on its own, you don’t need to make it analogous to another very serious issue and erase the nuance of BOTH concerns in the process.
I love this. I think it’s so funny. You saw me post a lesbophobic comment with no context and make a snarky remark in response and it made you SO upset you felt the need to send me paragraphs on paragraphs? Give me a break. If you follow me, you’ll notice I DON’T make a habit of crafting extensive arguments as to why osa women shouldn’t date men, because I am highly aware that the resources are out there for them to be informed and to make decisions based on that information and their personal experiences. There are plenty of osa women who can write about their relationships with men in a way that’s more compelling for women like them than I can, for obvious reasons. What I DO make a habit of is responding to homophobia, because that DOES concern me personally, and if a het woman’s response to a *bisexual woman’s* post about not condescending to osa women is to talk about how sad it is that lesbians “hate” hets, she reveals then and there that she’s a lesbophobe, and I WILL point that out. Genuinely get a grip. Go outside and realize that even if every lesbian on the planet was BEYOND “heterophobic”, they could stomp us out like ants if they wanted to. I think it’s profoundly gross and demeaning and nasty to refer to any woman with sexually degrading language and I would never do that, which is why you’ll…never find that on my page. Coming on here to write paragraphs and condescend to ME about shit *I* already know is SO. HILARIOUSLY. IRONIC. given the topic at hand. Grow a brain and have enough self respect to think maybe other lesbians are also smart enough to notice the exact same things you do, and sometimes they’re STILL going to tell you a het woman being lesbophobic over so much as the mention of mean lesbians is stupid, homophobic, and humiliatingly online.

There is this black gay guy on Twitter who absolutely hates Interview With The Vampire, simply because it shows an interracial couple. 
This guy gets real angry at any show or movie that features an interracial couple. He only celebrates media that shows black love, but he doesn’t care if that love is toxic. It can be a show where the black woman is treated like absolute shit by her partner. He just wants to make sure the partner is black. It’s very weird. I saw the same shit with P Valley. People were acting like Keyshawn would be in a better circumstances, if the person who was abusing her was black instead of white. 
I just find it funny when i see rants from this guy. Cause he is fighting against something that is enviable. The internet and social media has made the world smaller. Now someone in the USA can have a relationship with someone on the other side of the globe. Interracial Relationships aren’t lowering but increasing. Also, most people with a brain, can see through the bullshit propaganda y’all put out.

Yoooo!!!!
The U.S. Senate just passed the Respect for Marriage Act which federally protects same-sex and interracial relationships!!
♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
It took way longer than it should have but federal law now recognizes that everyone, no matter who they love, is entitled to respect and equal treatment. Love is love and that sentiment will now be codified into law! 🏳️‍🌈🎉⚧🎊
Now, I’ve seen some of the comments in response to this announcement: “Okay, so what? LGBTQ+ and interracial couples have been able to be married before though, why is this so important?”
With SCOTUS overturning decisions such as Roe v. Wade in recent years, it is clear that established precedent is not enough to secure what seem like basic rights.
(Not to mention it’s importance since interracial and LGBTQ+ relationships have really only been accepted within recent history but still face extreme hate and discrimination. That’s another whole tangent though.)
Essentially, this act is important because it serves as a preventive measure against other attacks on peoples’ rights or their access to fair and equal treatment.
♡━━━━━━━━━━━━♡
The act itself passed with 61 to 36 votes, only 12 Republicans were for the act at all. Even Mitch McConnell, who is in an interracial marriage himself, voted against the bill.
Below are the 37 Senators that voted against the fair treatment and equal access for those in interracial and/or LGBTQ+ marriages/relationships. Note the names of the people who want to strip away freedoms for those who don’t align with “traditional” values.

I’m worried some studio exec will see Goncharov trending, get the wrong idea, and actually try to make a movie to “appeal” to us…
Now if that does happen, I believe it’s our duty to pretend like it was never a liked/popular thing and to absolutely flame whatever product comes of it.
On the other hand, I think it’d be hilarious to get tumblr an academy award for a completely fake film, I mean, it is critically acclaimed, it should recognized as such.

My #1 post of 2022
man, we gotta make like, an extremely long, detailed test people gotta survive and pass before they’re allowed to make a “informal” tumblr account
AND THEN the survivors of that get thrown in a gauntlet where og tumblarians get to watch them fight and panic as they try to figure out how to survive on this site
if they manage to survive all that then I guess, they can stay…I still won’t be happy about it but I won’t be as pissed off if they “pay their dues,” so to speak
no but for real, y’all are doing great work out there, keep those twitter users far away from here!

My First Impressions of the Encanto Characters
Tumblr media
EEEEK SHE’S SO PRETTY YES THE LOVE OF MY LIFE SO ELEGANT AND GLAMOROUS I AM IN LOVE!!!! I’VE FINALLY FOUND MY FAVORITE CHARACTER THAT I WILL ATTACH MYSELF TO FOR THE NEXT FORSEEABLE DECADES EEEP!!! 
Tumblr media
OMG! I LOVE HER EVEN MORE NOW!!! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! AND LOOK AT HER FINALLY BEING HERSELF OMG!!!! BEST CHARACTER EVAH!!! 
Tumblr media
She’s so pretty! And so cute! Who gave her the right to be so cute?! And in a way, I kinda relate to her in a sad way...I understand what it’s like to feel ignored...I’m so happy she got the guy though! And I love her singing voice! And there are Afrolatine characters in this film! Nice! 
Tumblr media
Aww, our protagonist! I love her already! She seems so cute and nice and awkward in a way that doesn’t feel forced, cringe, or “not like other girls”-y. And I’m glad that she wears glasses, and has curly hair! She’s the protagonist of my dreams, the heroine I’ve been holding out for! She’d better be a Disney Princess or I will SCREAM! She is more than worthy! *looks it up* Oh, she is a Disney Princess?! Cool! Cool beans! 
Tumblr media
Woah! A woman with super strength! That’s not something you see often! I love it! And I love that she is allowed to be strong while also exhibiting feminine traits as well! I can already tell she’s going to be a fan-favorite of mine, I like this character a lot! Oh, apparently she’s the middle sister? Makes sense. 
Tumblr media
Umm...how old is he? Twelve? He looks like an amalgamation of every middle school boy I’ve ever come across in...umm...middle school. Let me look it up...*looks it up* Oh...he’s fifteen...old enough to date my sister...I can already tell the fandom is going to use him as an excuse to let their simp flag fly. Oh! He’s Dolores’ brother! I love him! 
Tumblr media
I like her! She seems so sunny and happy! I like the diversity this movie shows as well, with dark-skinned indigenous Latinas like Isabela, Afrolatinas like Dolores, and white-passing Latinas like Pepa! It’s super cool to see! She’s also a really great singer, I like her accent while singing...I feel so bad for her with her power and her wedding being ruined, though...but at least she got an apology from Bruno! I also love to see her relationship with Felix, it’s so cool to see an interracial relationship with a Black man in it! 
Tumblr media
Mirabel’s mom! I love her! She seems like a nice, nurturing, and caregiving person. She reminds me of my own mother! I love her gift as well! And her costume design! Why didn’t she get to sing, though?! That’s an act of wickedness. 
Tumblr media
I like him, too! He’s funny as well, and I like his chemistry with Julieta! And like his daughter, he wears glasses! I find his clumsiness hilarious lol. 
Tumblr media
I love her as well! Yeah, she wasn’t the greatest grandma, but she tried. I don’t know why people hate her, yes, some of the things she did were wrong, but she apologized...she clearly just wanted what was best for the family. And don’t try to tell me that you wouldn’t be traumatized if a similar thing happened to YOU! Try watching your husband get brutally, bloodily murdered by careless, heartless horsemen in front of you! Exactly! Also, she’s not homophobic, who gave you that nincompoop idea?! 
Tumblr media
Love him, too! So warm and loving and has the best relationship in the movie! Plus he subverts stereotypes of Black men, so that’s nice! Very handsome as well! 
Tumblr media
Cute kid! He’s so sweet and kind to Mirabel! Wonder how he’ll cope with hearing his friends slaughter and eat each other though... 
Tumblr media
Oh hey it’s rat man...yeah I’m not really interested in him the way the fandom is tbh...I don’t get what they see in him...but I do feel bad for him still. I’m happy he’s part of the family! Maybe I’ll love him more when we see more of his relationship with Mirabel and Dolores in a sequel, though, but until then, meh. 
BONUS! 
Tumblr media
The real MVP of the movie y’all...WHAT?! You’re telling me that one of the only dark-skinned Black women of the movie is a background character?! Smh do better Disney, do better.

Azie killed it!!!
me praising a supergirl episode? i know, shocking. but 6x12 just came for me where i live! i knew it was going to be great but it surpassed my expectations. sister are really doing it for themselves! so many things to point out that were phenomenal but here’s what comes to mind rn:
- the camera work while kelly’s all distressed at the hospital, lil joey struggling to breathe, orlando looking so helpless > i was already stressed within 5 mins
- rankin literally saying “i’ll do everything i can to help these people” while rolling away to her private hospital room with access to trial medication when the residents of the heights probably don’t even have insurance or money to pay the bills. also rankin literally sucking the life out of this disadvantaged community, building wealth and pushing her political agenda on the backs of black people is the most realistic portrayal of true villainy that this show has ever given us
- kelly’s phone call to james in the stairwell, talking about how exhausting it is was so personal to me. i work in these types of communities all the time and it’s a hard fight. i get emotionally tired too. it does feel like screaming into the void, like one step forward and ten steps back. and i felt this for kelly.
- alex’s solution is to send respirators and nothing else? just makes me realize that while the super friends were protecting mxy and trying to capture nxyly, they were pretty much neglecting the heights. people who were literally dying and it’s horrifying to think of where their priorities lie. especially considering the fact that they could have handled the nxyly issue without alex so she can support her gf
- writer 1: how do we make the audience hate rankin some more?
  writer 2: have her kill a guy for a sandwich on white bread. it’ll make her look like even more of an asshole
but seriously, what kind of psychopathic shit was that?
- andrea has always been portrayed a shameless capitalist who only cares about grabbing eyeballs but it has never been highlighted as negatively as it was in this episode in that phone call with kelly 
- i think kelly reaching out to lena who isn’t even in national city really speaks to her desperation to have someone see her. someone hear her. someone fucking help and i’m glad she had at least diggle’s support
- that slim stack of bills is all it took for that woman to sell her soul to rankin? bruh...
- the super friends showing up to the heights, only concerned with tracking nxyly, not giving any amount of fucks about what kelly is trying to say enraged me. i know that was the point of the episode but STILL
- kara telling kelly that mxy can fix all this once they get him out of the crystal. what are you five? give me a goddamn break with this foolishness kara! so lil joey’s lungs are just supposed to hang on til whenever the fuck y’all save mxy? lena, please come and collect your wife
- kelly looking directly at kara when she mentions the word hope while dragging the super friends for their nonchalant behaviour > oof, a slap to the face
- i see nia had the one brain cell this week. she’s the only one who attempted to help kelly in whatever way she could. 
- brainy really said racism is still a problem in the 31st century and it did not surprise me. 
- seems like having tunnel vision is a danvers sisters trait. i get alex not being able to relate to kelly’s struggle but come on she’s your girlfriend. can’t you tell when she’s upset?
- i’m glad that they addressed j’onn choosing the appearance of a black man and how even though he may have been a target because of it, he still can’t relate fully to the experiences like kelly, james and diggle can. it’s optional for him. they don’t have that luxury to check out whenever it suits them
- kara talking about the anti-alien hate with the col and i would like to remind kara that she genuinely thought things were improving and that the division didn’t exist despite j’onn and brainy repeatedly telling her otherwise. because, once again, her physical appearance affords her privilege that no black person or visible alien will ever receive
- every kelly scene was so emotional i was bawling wtf. her talking about pushing her pain and anger down and trying to be positive and all smiles > 100% accurate 
- i can’t believe i’m saying this but i did not need the lena scenes. they should’ve just kept those out. on the other note, magical amazon package delivery
- guardian’s suit is so fucking badass!!! i’m glad little black girls will feel SEEN and INSPIRED in this episode. thank you azie
- kara was really out there getting her ass kicked by a human who just got powers for a few hours? stop nerfing her abilities!
- the way we got an actual scene of kelly carefully wrapping her hair, the say her name t shirt, the books on the coffee table > well done azie
- alex and kelly in the final scene was a good portrayal of an interracial relationship where one partner wants to but just will never understand the issue fully. alex just needs to be there for kelly and i’m glad that they didn’t make it a moment to educate her white gf about racial discrimination. they kept the focus where it needed to be. i’m also  glad that unlike the other soical justice topics we’ve had,  they didn’t try to make it seem like something that is so engrained into the fabric of society can be wrapped up with a neat little bow and be done with. there’s more fighting to do but at least it seems like kelly will have the support going forward
- the promo after such a powerful episode gave me whiplash. back to our regularly scheduled nonsense i guess
This episode holy shit. man it was amazing. azie is a talented writer and it’s easy to tell that she was drawing inspiration from real and personal experiences. it was very easy for me to relate to these scenes, especially the hospital ones. also makes me annoyed because they’ve been wasting all this potential and this episode is proof that the show and it’s storylines can be nuanced and still include superhero aspects. too bad this episode will likely become one of few in this show’s entire run that actually accomplishes that.

yes okay op has a newt icon but like stop for a second real quick. brief pause it’s not white boy wednesday yet. yes newmann is a god tier ship that is incredibly significant for how hermann who is visibly a cane user and autistic gets to be in a romance you could write literal greek epics about but just put them aside okay. i haven’t forgotten how y’all made maleigh “platonic representation”. it has not slipped my mind how y’all saw an interracial pairing between a japanese woman who was more physically powerful than her male counterpart in every way, not sexualized in the slightest, given the main narrative of the story AND the most character development, spawned an entirely new cinema test for feminism that thankfully replaced the bechdel test (which is literally to highlight the lack of lesbian relationships in film not women in general), was literally a parallel to sam and frodo (raleigh and mako go to the anteverse aka mount doom, raleigh realizes the story is not about him but mako and becomes a literal fall guy so she can be the hero and live, “all i have to do is fall, anyone can fall”) like they SAID OUTRIGHT this puppy eyed white male action hero is not the important one here, was allowed to be a nuanced, flawed, complex character who created the tiktok hair trend seven years before it got popular and pegs her husband every day of their fucking lives. and y’all said oh they’re best friends. y’all said ugh i hate straight people (assuming they’re fucking straight) they’re so boring. y’all forgot the STAR of the goddamn MOVIE and her love interest. and like it’s not my place to speak on fandom racism but i think we need to listen to those who can because what the fuck guys.

Tumblr media
It was like a movie, from start to finish. Growing up, times were hard and challenges never ceased to fade. But, you pushed through — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Lost ones along the way, realized you couldn’t trust everyone, but you grew. As an independent, young, black woman living in America. And then something happened, that changed everything.
The year of 1998, when fall semester classes at your college just ended, which called for finding a seasonal job for the time being. And that’s how you ended up working at Queen Beauty Supply about two blocks from your place. You grew up knowing Mr. Park (who is the owner and now your boss) all your life. As you were a child, your mother supported his business, always stocking up on flexi rods, Just for Me relaxers, Goody brushes, and all. Even the endless amounts of barrette balls of every color you could think of, she made sure you had. And seeing that you blossomed, Mr. Park was more than honored to hire you for a seasonal gig. You loved him as if he was your family, just as well as he loved you.
It all started that one evening when you worked the register, fancy-ing some Poetic Justice-style braids, showcasing your figure with a halter top and mom jeans. A small stereo behind you blared the latest hits on the radio, Jon B currently on play. You flipped through the latest issue of Word Up! Magazine, admiring the new spread that featured Mya, Monica, and Brandy — your two in. acrylic, nails dragging across the pages. The sound of the bell jingles over the door, indicating the arrival of a customer. Your gaze turns up to greet said customer, and your eyes meet with the fellow that entered.
And damn were you blown away for a hot sec. He was cute, really cute. You hadn’t even realized he asked you something, while standing in front of you on the opposite side of the counter. He’s Asian, obviously. His eyes having told it all. They were different, not shaped like yours, but beautiful. Which was intriguing. But him simple being here in a beauty supply store was interesting, Yes, it’s ironic. The owner himself being Asian, but the intended audience is your fellow black folks. You could tell he’s obviously inspired by your culture since he sported a bucket hat and a loose, white tee that may have been just two sizes too big for him — which is rare nowadays to find on an Asian man. But, you don’t question it. Of course, you’re well aware people of all races are influenced by hip hop culture so in a way, it doesn’t surprise you as much. Okay, maybe a little. But still.
“Can I help you?” His eyes did a weird thing, but it was cute. He was cute.
“Do you have du-rags here?” Your eyebrows raise and head cocks to the side, having abandoned the magazine you were just reading.
“What do you want with a du-rag?” You question, knowing well the texture of his hair can’t form into waves, so you suppose it’s for a fashion statement. He starts blushing, his eyes shut and beautiful pearly whites on display. Damn, did he have you hooked on the spot and you didn’t even know his name yet. You had to hurry up and get him out of here for your own sake, so you took the lead. A few beats passed before he realized you were leading the way to what he needed. He stumbled a little.
“It’s uh- For my performance,” He slips, trailing behind you while passing by the rows of hair-care products, leading towards the back of the store.
“Performance? You dance?” You question, while strutting down the row of where the brushes, combs, barrettes and the jewelry wall was displayed — purposely swaying your hips back and forth just a tad too much for dramatic effect. He definitely noticed, his eyes glued to your form and wondering how your jeans could mold those curves so perfectly.
He blushes at the thought but replies, “I’m a rapper,” And that’s when you stop in your tracks, flipping your braids behind your back and placing your hand on your hip, giving him the same expression that you gave at the counter.
“A rapper?” You ask, while taking him in from head to toe. You notice his white Air Force Ones.
Damn, he is so fine.
He has style, you’ll admit that. But an Asian rapper? That’s unheard of, at least in your neighborhood.
“Do you, boo.” You shrug, while gesturing toward the wall on your left, that displayed various colors of du-rags. You step away to return to the register and then he speaks again.
“What about Blue Magic?” As if he hadn’t surprised you enough, you cross your arms, facing him.
“Well…. it depends on what you want.” You pause, and roll on your heels to walk again, he follows behind you.
“We have coconut oil, but the hair food is out of stock right now. The hair and scalp treatment is limited quantity, but we do have Castor Oil and Super Sure Gro.” You arrive at the row of hair care products, with numerous brands of oils, treatments, and more that cover the shelves. After leaving him there, you admired the way his eyes were shot wide, and you knew damn well he was not 100% sure of what he was looking at — as he searched for the product that piqued his interest.
And so it became a regular occurrence. He’d come in at least once every two weeks, buying the same thing. A du-rag and Super Sure Gro. Some days you’d even be a little extra to “up” your appearance, in hopes he’d notice or in some fantasy world, he’d compliment you. Maybe even ask about you or your day. Or if you’d like to go watch a movie with him or even hit up a spot for some good food. You ponder if he’d be into trying soul food someday. Your mom always did say that a way into a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, more-so implying that you should know how to get down and dirty in the kitchen.
The bell jingles again, while you’re out on the floor stocking up the shelves with bottles of Luster’s Pink Oil Formula. Reaching below into the box to grab a few more bottles, you hadn’t noticed he was towering above you. You jumped slightly when you meet eyes with him, nearly dropping the contents you held onto.
“Don’t you know not to run up on a black woman like that? I may be little, but I can kick your ass!” You both break out into a contagious laugh. He stuffs his hands into his baggy jeans of his, that gorgeous smile spreads across his face. He clears his throat,
“I- Uh- I’m- I’m sorry, I-”
You shake it off, “You’re fine, boo.” Your hand finds its way into his shoulder, a light rub as you brush past him to head for the register. He hesitates, trailing behind you as he fights for the right words to say.
“I-I just, I-” You reach the front of the counter and turn to make eye contact with him. Your eyebrows raise slightly, taking in how he’s struggling to piece his words together. You place your hand on his shoulder again and note how he gazes at you with those same wide eyes you’d grown familiar with over the past few weeks. His lips parted slightly as if he was going to say something but didn’t.
“It’s okay-” You trail off, in hopes he’d catch on.
“Oh, right. N-namjoon. My name is Namjoon.”
You smile in response, lightly rubbing his arm with your palm.
“Is there…. Something you want to say? I promise, I don’t bite,” You state with a soft smile. You notice his shoulders easing themselves down. Part of you wonders what he was so tense for.
“You should come to my performance-” He says rapidly then pauses, looking down and then back up to you, “I would like it- I mean I think that you- You would like my performance.” He internally hates himself for being shy around you, his cheeks so tight and raised from smiling hard, and you could have literally melt in that moment. You thought it was cute to see him that way. To know you made him feel all flustered.
There was a grand amount of effort he’d built to approach you. The very, first day he arrived at the store, he wanted to say something then. He went home that night rehearsing how he’d spark up a conversation with you. He even recalls one time he’d seen you at a bus stop sucking on a lollipop, and how tempted he was to say something then. But he couldn’t. He was afraid of rejection, and he wasn’t sure how to approach you. So when he’d visit the beaut store and see your face, he’d grow warm on the inside. And when you would make eye contact with him, his heart would stop. When you would speak to him with that sweet voice of yours, he’d freeze.
So when you said yes you would be there, he cried afterwards. Not in front of you of course, but on the bus back to his place. He couldn’t believe that you didn’t reject him. Throughout the weeks, he’d contemplated because he didn’t know how you felt about people of his race. He didn’t know how your race felt about people like him in general. Although, it never mattered to him. Because he believed that love is love. As long as you’re happy with that person, that is all what truly matters. He believed everyone deserves to have that kind of love. Little did he know, you felt the same way.
And then things advanced between the two of you.
It was the night he invited you to an underground party, and it was live. Music thumped with never-ending bass, people danced and smoked, and the space felt warm and cluttered, courtesy of body heat. You gradually ease your way through the space, attempting to find some kind of “safe haven” amongst the grinding, moving bodies within the cramped atmosphere. The music settles down, which causes you to look ahead, realizing you’re in front of the stage where the DJ is posted up on the left.
“Alright, y’all! You already know what time it is.” The DJ blatantly announces through his microphone. The crowd somewhat reacts, but not to his liking you assume.
“I said… Y’all already know what time it is!” Everyone goes wild, screaming, chanting and whistling.
“Tonight, I wanna welcome y’all my boy. From the East side, he’s an up and coming rapper- Y’all check this,” He pauses for a moment, “He is a Korean rapper! Y’all feel me? What y’all know about a Korean rapper, aight?” He shakes his head throwing his hands up.
“Imma let y’all have this one, but I’m tellin’ y’all! You don’t know nothing bout this!” You smile uncontrollably, aware of who he’s talking about. Also somewhat anxious to see what the hype is about, your nerves making your stomach churn just a little too much while you’re out in public.
“Give it up for my boy, RM!” The DJ, swivels the record on his turntable back and forth. And there Namjoon was, appearing from the side of the stage, with his du-rag and bucket hat, loose tee, baggy jeans, and those familiar Air Force Ones you’d grown to recognize. You also peep the Cuban chain that adorns his neck.
And then the beat kicks in. Which was also familiar, you note that it’s the beat for “I Need Love.” Everyone starts bobbing their heads, including him. Including you.
He throws his hand up, shoving gestures to go along with the rhythm of the music, while using his other hand to firmly hold onto his mic.
“I’d like to introduce myself, The name is RM, Let’s rewind and take you back to when it first started, Very first time that I walked in the shop, I was startled and I swear I had felt my heart drop, You made me wanna get down on my knees, Begging, please, Coulda told you I was sprung the moment I seen ya,”
He makes eye contact with you and points directly in your direction. He’s talking about you, right? He’s got to be. There’s no way he isn’t. You continue bobbing your head to the beat, and you can’t fight the smile in return.
“Dang baby, how’d you fit in those jeans? Hips got a brother feeling like he’s in a dream, Couldn’t even keep my head straight, Yeah I’m Asian but damn, Somethin’ must have went left and messed up my fam, Sittin’, thinkin’, contemplatin’, and wonderin’, How could I get this fine lil shawty to blushin’? Hopin’ that you’ll say yes and lemme steal you from the scene, Treat you like a queen and show you what a real man can be,”
He stares at you for a moment too long, yet you’ve already grown too hot for the jean jacket you’re wearing over your tube top.
“I need love,” he adds before dropping the mic; everyone suddenly is hype, continuously cheering him on and giving him props for his performance.
“I told y’all! Give it up for my boy, RM!” The DJ adds, patting him on the back while smiling from ear to ear. But, his eyes are focused on you, and only you — who just can’t seem to shake off the bright smile plastered on your face, you attentively graze your bottom lip with your teeth to attempt stopping yourself from smiling so much. But, you fail. And he takes note of that, returning a smile to you. You could tell he’s blushing, his dimples appearing before he dips his head low.
So shy, yet so damn fine. How is that even possible?
That same week, he surprised you at work, stumbling in to rap a few verses about how beautiful you are to him, and he pulled a bouquet of roses he hid from behind his back. You remembered that day so clearly. You remembered kissing him, hugging him, holding his hand, smelling the flowers. You also remembered Mr. Park interrupting your little PDA session to scold you about: “No kissing and no sex on the clock!”
But, Namjoon loved you more than you could think. And he didn’t care who in the world thought it was wrong for you two to fall in love. Because the night you two had arrived at his apartment, lips intertwined with one another, and hands roaming each others bodies, was when everything became so clear.
You both stumble inside, too wrapped up in locking lips with one another. Namjoon guides you toward his bedroom; and being the klutz he is, he stubs his shoe on the baseboard leading to his bedroom. You both break the kiss, and you can’t help but chuckle at his clumsy ways.
“Why you laughing at me, huh?” He lifts you up and you can’t help the half gasp/half giggle that escapes your lips, immediately wrapping your legs around his waist as he carries you to his bed. He gently lies you down on your back and hovers above you. You unexpectedly snatch his bucket hat off, tossing it somewhere on the floor — his faded, white-blonde and dark brown strands on display.
“Did you have to do my Kangol like that?” He whines with furrowed brows. You tap his bottom lip, dragging your finger across the plump flesh.
“Shut up and kiss me.” His gold Cuban link chain hangs from his neck, prompting your fingers to tug it down, and you do so, his lips smashing with yours yet again. Your fingers lace themselves within his hair, admiring the feel of his oiled scalp. His lips massage yours in a way that’s beyond comforting, and you make sure to inform him how nostalgic kissing feels. Drawn-out moans spew from you, and you can��t help but wonder how in the hell could you be in this time and moment with him. Piece by piece all of your garments end up lost on the ground, along with his clothing. He had you caged in to his bed and kept himself hovered over you, planting kisses along your neck trailing down to your collarbone.
“Mmm, Joon.” You follow his lead, kissing his blush-colored lips, snaking through his silky strands. His hands travel behind your back to remove your lace bra, revealing your breasts that illuminate from the moonlight peeking through the blinds of his window, your chocolate nipples hardened and desperate for attention. His eyes are blown wide, cherishing every dip and curve of your body.
“Wow,” He admits, his erection growing behind his undergarment. He holds a few moments to etch this view of you within his memory, appreciating every trait of your being in this form. His hands find placement on your hips, pulling you to his body completely — the soft, plushness of your breasts pushed against his chest. He rubs the outline of your face, slowly dragging his index finger along your jawline.
“You are the most beautiful woman in the world. You know that?” You let out a small giggle, feeling vulnerable in this state. He kisses you, being sure to suck your bottom lip, pulling and tugging softly with his teeth. His hands roam down your back and land on your ass cheeks, gripping with force. Your breath hitches, and you find yourself wrapping your arms around his neck, in hopes to ease him in just a little more. Even though physically it isn’t possible. He teases your bottom lip with a swipe of his tongue, asking for entrance.
And you let him in, sucking and licking him back in response, both of yours saliva mixing with each others, and not a care in the world — too consumed in each other. He gropes your ass, causing a moan to slip from you. His large palms kneading the cushion-y flesh, and damn is he grateful for this moment in time with you. He pulls from your lips with an audible smack, and you relish in the sight of his thick lips all swollen and damp.
“I love you, ____” He admits with those delightful irises.
“I love you too, Namjoon.” He guides you to lie down on your back, hovering above you as he places kisses along your jawline, leading down your neck, taking his time to cherish every part of you. His hands roam along your sides, caressing the curves of your body. He kisses the area between your breasts and stops suddenly, eyeing you for approval. As if understanding, you nod. His tongue peeks out and circles your right nipple, he wraps his lips around the bud and sucks with tenderness, making sure to release with a pop each time while his other hand massages your left breast.
Your core aches as a result, needing to feel him so the void inside your walls can be filled. He repeats this with your other tit, sucking your nipple while massaging the other, pinching and rolling the bud between his fingers. Your core throbs with an intense pleasure, soaking your now soiled panties. He eases down further, planting kisses down your tummy and moving along the inner thighs of your mocha skin, praising the smooth, supple, flesh. His fingers tug the band of your lace panties, and he eyes you again for approval.
“Please,” You plead, and it was all he needed to hear to remove the garment and reveal yourself to him, treasuring the sight of your lips dripping from arousal. He wastes no time, as you feel his warm, wet muscle gliding along your folds, his nose nuzzling your clit in the process. Your fingers snake into his hair and hips buck upwards to move along the rhythmic motions of his tongue, while he devours you whole as if he’d become a man starved.
“Joon!” You praise, panting for air, Your gaze follows between your legs, cherishing the man that continues to eat you out. He watches your expressions, glaring deeply into your eyes as he does so. His fingers ease toward your folds, rubbing his digits along your drenched pussy, coating them with your wet. He watches you still, not wanting to leave your gaze as he enters a finger inside you. You moan his name in response. His finger delves deep within you, your walls sucking him in perfectly.
“So good for me,” He lashes his tongue out to lick your clit in a circular motion. The sight of him between your thighs makes your heart quiver. He deliberately adds a second finger, his lengthy digits curling themselves upwards and dragging along the walls of your womanhood. His nails dig along the flesh of your thighs, keeping you settled and under his grip, his lips suck on your clit til no end. His obscene noises send a shockwave of pleasure through you, and your toes curl at the sensation. He pulls his fingers from out of you and tastes your arousal that clings to him.
“Tastes so good,” He moans, and you can’t help your thighs from rubbing together to ease the tension that has built. Then, he blushes at the view of you, all horny and ready for him. Only him. How can he be so cute and so fine at the same time? You ask yourself this everyday. Your legs move on their own accord, struggling to draw him back in. He chuckles at your actions.
“You want more, baby?” He questions in that deep, sexy voice of his.
You nod in reply, “Yes, Joon. Please, daddy?” His famous dimples reappear, and those mesmerizing, pearly whites appear. He dives back down, trailing kisses along your tummy, leading to your mound. He worships your body as he had wanted to do since the day he met you, gripping and rubbing along your skin. He moans against you, admiring the feel of you under his fingertips. His lips encase around your clit again, and your body jerks from the sudden feeling. His tongue slides along your folds, sucking and slurping, making the most lewd noises.
His fingernails drag along your thighs, adding an odd tingle within you. You follow his motions and graze your nails on top of his hand, when an unexpected bliss washes over you — causing you to writhe underneath him. He continues sucking your clitoris until you can’t take anymore, your legs gliding up an down along his back, back arching off the mattress, eyebrows furrowing and you simply drowning in euphoria with trembling thighs as your nails drag along his scalp and your cries echo within his eardrums.
“Joon, daddy!” Your nails dig further into his hand, and fingers tug harshly onto his strands. Your core now sensitive to the touch, something you’d never experienced before. He moves his head back and forth, delving deeper and not wanting to let go. You scratch his back, now in hopes he’d give up. You’re nearly convinced he’s going to kill you with that tongue of his, and then out of nowhere, he pushes two fingers inside you. Your toes curl for what feels like the millionth time, and you whimper his name repeatedly.
He thrusts his digits into you, a loud squelching noise filling up the space. And you feel those plush lips wrap around your clit again. He ruts against the bed, wanting to feed the tension within his groin. Your feet now having fought the sheets you lay upon, twisting and turning due to the over-sensitivity. But in some strange sentiment, there’s another wave. And here you are having your second orgasm of the night.
“Fuck, Ungh- I’m cumming again!” Your body shakes violently, not having control over the orgasm that’s overtaken you. An uncontrollable scream slips out and you shove Namjoon away from you with a strained push, his chin now glistening with you. He wipes the residue from his face with the back of his hand, grinning at you fucked out and waiting on his bed. He pulls a condom from somewhere in his drawer and wraps himself up.
He was so thick, thicker than you thought. You lay flat on your tummy and Namjoon sets himself on top of you, caging you in again. He notes the glow upon your ebony skin as he coats his protected member with your drenched self, adding a line of his own saliva and finally diving into you with every inch he has, at a slow, steady pace. But the places he reaches leave you wondering what you’d done to deserve this kind of dick.
Magnificent.
“Beautiful, black queen,” he slips in between breaths, rocking his hips against yours. The position granting him a much deeper access. You gasp at his remark, clenching your walls tighter around him, he hisses in response. His warm breath fans the right side of your face, and he presses a kiss along your earlobe while adding,
“All mine. You’re my black queen, understand? Can’t nobody take that away from me.”
“Yes Namjoon,” You reply. “I’m all yours.”
His cock twitches at the sound of his name slipping from your lips within this state — having you underneath him like this, needy, desperate, and only craving him. He inches to meet your lips with his. His kisses are filled with want and desire, full of love. That sweet, sweet love.
“Give it to me daddy,” You say under your breath but audible enough for him to hear, and he takes heed to continue thrusting himself into you, his delicate, golden skin glimmering with perspiration. The sound of your bodies clapping against each other resonate throughout his apartment, as soft whimpers and moans fall from you, and he utilizes every millisecond of this moment to drown himself in your presence.
“So tight, so wet. So beautiful.” His hips buck in a gentle, yet stern manner, causing your body to jerk upward and eyes to shut close in response — his balls slapping your ass with each thrust of his hips, he continuously hits that sweet spot over and over again, your eyes rolling back due to the nostalgia. He eases his fingers in between your legs to rub circles into your clit simultaneously, and it doesn’t take long for your walls to contract for the third time that night.
“Fuck baby,” He coos with followed moans and groans, spilling himself while still buried in you. You shudder underneath him with nails dragging along the sheets, and muffled moans from burying your face, as you call out his name like it was the only function your brain could process.
He eases himself out of you, and you can’t help the low gasp that emits from you — having been so full of him and sensitive at the same time. A few moments later, and the slight shift of the bed indicates he vanished to discard the condom. You simply lay there, slowly processing that he’d given you the best sex you’ve ever had, being that his main focus was pleasuring you.
But it was in those final moments when Namjoon cuddled you afterwards, bodies attached together by sweat, gasping for air and basking himself in the warm, vanilla, sugar aroma of your essence — that he knew he was in love with you. And there was nothing anyone could ever say to change his feelings.
You break the silence having thought of Namjoon’s words you recall from his performance.
“Think you’ve found it?” He watches your form with raised eyebrows.
“Found what?” You trace circles along his chest, gazing upon his abdomen.
“Love,” You state, and a silence falls that makes your body warm up in a flash.
He shakes his head in a “no” gesture, “I don’t think I have.” The sudden pause of his sentence makes your heart drop.
“I know I have.” He kisses your forehead and draws you closer to him, holding onto you for dear life — like he’s afraid he’d lose you. You beam at his gesture, curling up into his figure. His heart thumps from the immense affection between the two of you. Your now closed eyes like an irreplaceable gift to him.
“My around the way girl,” He whispers to himself, while petting your hair and drifting off into slumber.

dead to me s2 rant!!
THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF DEAD TO ME IN THIS POST SO DON’T READ IF YOU HAVEN’T YET WATCHED IT!!
okay, so y’all are really out here complaining about s2 of dead to me, huh? just because your little ship isn’t canon??
i am absolutely sickened by the fact that there are people actively hating liz feldman (who is just the absolute best person) for giving us genuine, well-written, natural queer rep. oh, and add to that the fact that two of the queer characters are woc! oh, and on top of that, she gave us an interracial f/f couple!!! did you guys not watch the same show as the rest of us???
liz feldman herself is a queer woman, and she’s giving us exactly what we ask for in every show we watch: well-written queer characters. to be attacking her just because it wasn’t jen and judy being the queer couple is laughable.
we’ve fought for so many years to get queer people in all forms of media, and for fans that are a part of the lgbtqia+ community to be the ones actively tearing down a show that is giving them amazing rep just because of a fucking ship??? that’s a big ‘fuck you’ to people like me, who just want to see some goddamn rep, and it’s not cute or funny. it’s idiotic tbfh.
i’ve been a huge fan of liz for years (if y’all knew about one big happy on nbc, you’d know liz is an og & is legit god) & even got the pleasure of interacting with her on twitter a loooong time ago. i knew that dead to me would be fantastic when i saw liz’s name attached to it. and i was right.
i love jen and judy, i truly do. i love whatever their relationship may be/become, and that won’t change. but i can’t even explain how amazing it is that judy is confirmed queer. i legit ran around my house and sprained my fucking ankle in excitement when her and michelle got into the photobooth. i haven’t had a reaction like that to any show in a long time (except killing eve; that shit’s always my exception lol).
so please, for the love of god, let us enjoy judy and whichever lady she ends up with. seeing her happy made me so happy & i don’t want some vengeful little brats ruining that for me.
and fyi, if you’re one of the people shitting on liz & only wanting your personal idea of queer rep, please block me. i don’t need that kind of toxicity in my life!

‘Boy Meets World’ Re-watch (as an Adult)
‘Girl Meets World’ doesn’t count as a sequel. Not because of the writing/tonal choices but because in the original show - despite continuity issues - the characters felt like real people e.g. the way they spoke/acted/dressed was the way people behaved in the 90s where as in the spin off, they were Disney characters e.g. hyper versions of themselves especially Cory and Eric. And the transition between both shows didn’t come naturally. It’s not an objectivity badly written show but it was pretty much a re-do of the old show with the same storylines/tropes without continuing the story. (I say the same thing about ‘The Incredibles’. vs ‘Incredibles 2’.) Also there were too many cooks in the kitchen pushing one way or another. You could see Micheal Jacobs style, all the aspects were there, but he was also creating a ‘DISNEY’ show at the same time. I don’t know about you but the one message I took from the original show was ‘finding out that life cannot be packenged into a lovely little present ’ which kind of contradicts everything that the new show is. If anything GMW is an AU universe (and it really felt like that, rewatching it right after BMW e.g. it felt flipped) almost like Disney’s version of ‘what happened next?’ The primal difference between both shows is BMW is portraying what is real and GMW is based on what is real.
Going off my point, I will however be always thankful that it exists because I probably wouldn’t of found out about ‘Boy Meets World’ otherwise. Although saying that, I never thought that the original show needed a continuation of any kind (a lot of things make sense about the spin off if you acknowledge that Disney requested it - I think it would of been much better off on its original platform) ‘Boy Meets World’ was very much a product of its time i.e. when tv shows were still relevetivley new and had no rules - like there is stuff in there that not even adult shows today have. Plus there was something about it that felt very personal (such as the characters and setting) as if the creator based it on his own childhood growing up and I think that was part of its charm and why it had such a big effect on pop culture - I’m not so sure you can repeat that.
BMW is big on meta I’ll tell you that. I love how it’s so aware of itself. The amount of depth that it has never ceases to amaze me. It’s whole universe is so dense and huge. Every quote/storyline is so unique it sticks in your brain forever. (I swear the humour got more and more deranged every season). The show was also incredibly queer and progressive.  It didn’t give a crap about sexuality. Much more than I remember. Proof to never use ‘but it was made in the 90s’ excuse.        
I loved how the show kept reinventing itself every season as Cory grew up so you really felt you were growing up with him and all the characters. The Character Development on this show was so natural/authentic. Every single character got a chance to shine. No one changed their look in one episode and no one had an intervention every time someone had an identity crisis (GMW) My favourite development was Shawn Hunter. He went from a cool kid to a ladies man to a poetic soul. It was so satisfying to watch.
I realised that Cory Matthews is actually my favourite character (before it was Eric or Shawn) I already have a special soft spot for ‘annoying’ characters because they tend to be the most memorable/real. For example, Karma Ashcroft from ‘Faking it’ was my babe while everyone was hating on her. I really related to his anxiety/self hatred about being average and I loved that he constantly made mistakes. It was very refreshing. He’s also incredibly queer-coded. I found that alot of his mannerisms make sense if you see him with extreme compulsory heterosexuality (because identity’s such as bisexual or gay couldn’t exist normally in the 90s) There are moments in the show where he literally mimics his best friend’s behaviour around girls e.g. when the class pretty much gets brainwashed by the sex ed video in ‘Boy Meets Girl’ Shawn gets asked out by a girl, making Cory jealous - which pushes him to ask out Topanga.
It’s funny how a few years of life experience can change perspectives completely because when I was sixteen (aka the same age as Cory and Topanga) watching BMW for the first time, I was mad at Amy for ‘not understanding that they were in love’ (in ‘A Walk to Pittsburg’) but now that I’m older I’m actually agreeing with her. Yeah, what do they know about love? Because all season long they were acting quite superficially.
Cory and Topanga became somewhat of a toxic couple in seasons 5 -7. Reminded me of my parents relationship because my mum gave up her chosen university to be closer to my dad and they aren’t together any more. Topanga’s love for Cory was very conditional and Cory cheated on her multiple times/openly begged for sex  (Again like my parents) And you should never be in a relationship with someone who makes you say “You make me think not so very much of myself” There are arguably much more signs of emotional abuse than love in their relationship especially from Topanga’s side. Plus their story was altered so many times to give it more basis (they retconned Shawn and Cory’s friendship to do this) I could write an essay on how Kevin and Winnie’s love story on ‘The Wonder Years’ is much more believable because it actually addresses how toxic it was and they grow apart in the end. If GMW was a realistic continuation, they would be divorced with a little girl - leave them in the 90s where they belong.
Alan and Amy were couple goals! Cory and Topanga wish that they could have what they have. Literally the definition of ‘a healthy relationship on tv that keeps thriving and over coming obstacles without big drama’. Best TV parents ever.
I loved the Matthews family; how they all had individual arcs and developments of their own. One of my favourite arcs was in season 5, when Eric and Cory were both jealous of what they ‘didn’t have’ with their dad, so Alan made an effort to give them both that they needed. Honestly, I had never seen so much healthy communication on TV before. Alan is the best father around. His whole personal arc of giving up managing a supermarket because he wasn’t passsionate about it anymore and buying a mountain store was so inspired. I found it funny that the family had more of a relationship with Shawn than Topanga.
Shawn Hunter never caught a break. It got a bit tiring. He was never allowed to be happy for five minutes. Every time he laughed or smiled, 5 years were added onto my lifespan. Why didn’t Johnathan Turner adopt him? I loved their dynamic. Why did he let him go back to his abusive father who just dumped him anyway?
Jack and Shawn’s complicated dynamic was possibly the most unique/interesting arc of the entire show and no one talks about it. I don’t care what y’all say - despite them being very different, Jack was the only one who fully took care of Shawn without second thoughts (Turner and the Matthews family had doubts)
I liked Shawn and Angela. I thought they were much better suited than Cory and Topanga. I honestly wouldn’t of minded if they ended up together even though I always had a feeling they wouldn’t. (Like I’m glad she went with her dad in the end) And considering how important they were as a interracial couple in the 90s, GMW handled that very poorly.
Shawn and Cory should of ended up together. And before you come at me with ‘it’s important to have m/m friendships without toxic masculinity’ (which is an important arguement to have) - yeah no shit there’s an entire Industry based around that/pitting women against each other. While it is important to have those friendships between men that are close and even intimate (take Chandler and Joey, Schmidt and Nick, Isak and Jonas and Jake and Charles for example) there was also another layer to their relationship which the narrative played off sometimes as them “going out” or “in love”.  I actually recently found out that a writer - who came into the show in season 3 - confirmed that she wrote gay undertones into their relationship on purpose ‘In my opinion as a writer, they thought they were “straight”, they both didn’t realise or understand their feelings for eachother’ but couldn’t deliever because the producers wanted to keep the show “kid friendly”. Kind of like Xena and Gabby. I know people prefer Jack & Eric (I love them as well) but everything got ruined for me as soon as they introduced the ‘love triangle’ and I always tend to prefer emotional tension over sexual. They were just so unconditional with each other/ their friendship was so good and healthy and now I’m so bitter that it never happened.
I never understood why Shawn and Cory had to stop being best friends after he got married. He’s not Topanga’s property. I always hated how Topanga tried to interrupt/interfere with their dynamic — although now I realise it was because the two of them purposely left her out. Looking back at it, If it really was just a intimate friendship then why would she get so easily jealous if she didn’t sense there was something else deeper going on? You should never marry someone who puts you second.
I didn’t like Topanga when she was with Cory (or vice versa) Especially after they got married. She was a great character on her own. Feminist before her time. Hermione Granger before her time. I always felt she deserved a lot better than him in a way e.g. if someone I considered a friend speard a rumour around high school that we slept together - I would never speak to that person again. SHE SHOULD OF GONE TO YALE GOD DAMN IT. And as someone pointed out the other day, if the roles were reversed some of the stuff she does or says to Cory would be considered domestic violence. ‘She’s always blaming Cory on shit that isn't even his fault or makes him feel bad or shuts down his emotions and turns it around so he's comforting her instead.’ There was even a moment in GMW (not that I consider that show a continuation) where she locks him out the house for a few days after he insulted her chicken, and his son Auggie had to bring him spaghetti. If Cory was a woman, that would not be played off as a joke - that would be considered abuse. They were however a better couple in GMW ironically.
Angela Moore is now one of my favourite characters on BMW. She was beautiful. Her friendship with Rachel (and Topanga) was the best. And I frickin’ loved her and Cory’s friendship development - when they could of easily not played into that. I hate that she got villiaized in GMW.
My favourite seasons are 4, 5 & 1. My least favourites are 3 & 2 & 7. And even then the show was still pretty darn good.
The back and fourth clash between Turner and Mr Feeny in season 2 was very entertaining.
Mr Feeny and Eric are my favourite relationship on ‘Boy Meets World’. I love how Eric was the only person that Feeny directly told that he loved him. Also, why didn’t Eric become the new Mr Feeny? He showed more traits of becoming a teacher in the show than Cory did.
Eric and Tommy was probably the most heartbreaking plot line in season 6. (That season was an emotional train wreck) I cried for a fourth time. The world doesn’t deserve him.
I loved the development of Shawn and Topanga’s friendship. Even though there was a silent competition over Cory, they eventually became good friends. I found out that the song ‘She will be loved’ was inspired by them which is awesome but it’s also proof that people ship for less if it’s an m/f dynamic - just sayin’. I however see a more convincing potiental romance with the two of them than Cory and Topanga sometimes.
On Cory and Topanga again - they weren’t a bad couple overall. I liked them in s1 - 3. They had some great moments. But upon my rewatch (getting out of that 90s idealised headspace) I found them to be too similar at times - chafing as another person put it - to the point where they cancel each other out. A lot of people pointed out that Riley and Maya paralleled them and I was thinking “That’s not nesserily a good thing.”
‘Dream. Try. Do good.’ is on my mantelpiece.

Ik there’s a code of silence about saying anything negative about any wlw ship in this fandom or u get attacked but I don’t rly get Zarie. just not on a basic level like wanting the same things in life n having the same sense of humour. But also it doesn’t seem ‘brilliant’ that as u said, M is v presumptive & ignores/assumes Z’s boundaries. shippers either ignore that she treats her that way or say Z’s boundaries r the problem & should change rather than M’s lack of respect. Z deserves better :(
First, I hope you understand that this is exactly the kind of anonymous message I was hoping to avoid by giving such a thorough and balanced review of the Zarie relationship. If you had come to me with your name attached to your words, we could have a civil conversation about this, but I’m not feeling very civil this morning, and you’re hiding behind a little gray box. 
Let’s break this message down, shall we? This is going to be long, so it’s going under the cut.
1) “I don’t rly get Zarie. Just not on a basic level like wanting the same things in life n having the same sense of humor.”
at what point does Mambo Marie express that she doesn’t want the same things in life as Zelda? At what point is it made clear in canon that they don’t have the same sense of humor? On this specific argument, you’re pulling things out of thin air. Zelda wants her coven to be safe in Part Three. She wants to defeat the Pagans because they are a threat to her people. Marie wants that exact same thing. Where are you getting off that they somehow aren’t compatible based on a conversation they never had about “wanting the same things in life?” Where do you get off saying they don’t have the same sense of humor, when there was hardly opportunity for joke-making when a near apocalypse was upon them? Zelda has a dirty sense of humor, and from what we saw, Marie loves to use innuendo. I’d say there’s evidence that they do have the same sense of humor, but hey, I think you’re just pulling at straws to make me angry, and don’t actually have any evidence that they don’t laugh about the same things.
2)  “ But also it doesn’t seem ‘brilliant’ that as u said, M is v presumptive & ignores/assumes Z’s boundaries.”
Since you clearly did read my previous post already, you know that I’ve addressed this point thoroughly. Yes, Marie is presumptuous but so is Zelda. Y’all, did we even watch the same show if you don’t think Zelda crosses boundaries, too, sometimes? Zelda obsesses over her niece losing her virginity at Lupercalia, despite knowing it’s making her uncomfortable to talk about it. And, if you’re coming for me because you prefer Lilith, SHE IS NO BETTER ON THIS COUNT. 
Lilith fucking murdered a woman and then continued to wear her face even after she brought her back to life. Lilith seduced multiple teenage boys in order to sacrifice them. Lilith entered the Spellman’s dreams without their consent, and stole things from their home with nefarious intent. Lilith fucking lied to Zelda from day one, and tried to get her niece killed multiple times. If you’re being deliberately obtuse about the fact that Lilith is no better when it comes to boundaries, and still ship Madam Spellman while hating Zarie, I would have to ask you why you feel the need to come into my inbox to shit on a ship I like when I’ve already addressed the points you’re making.
Bottom line on this one: is it right for anyone to assume another person’s boundaries? No. But literally every other fucking character on the show doesn’t understand this concept, so why should you single out Mambo Marie for this behavior when Faustus literally put Zelda under a mind control spell, Mary Wardwell fucking SHOT Zelda in cold blood, and Lilith has been crossing boundaries since the beginning in order to get Sabrina where she needs to go? Unless you’re asking for a new love interest to be introduced, or no love interest at all (which, I’d be a fan of the “no love interest at all” because Zelda is traumatized) you can’t in good conscience argue that any other age-appropriate character on the show is right for Zelda if this is your deal breaker.
People aren’t perfect. Zelda certainly isn’t. So why should Marie be? Might it be racism, perhaps?
3) “ shippers either ignore that she treats her that way or say Z’s boundaries r the problem & should change rather than M’s lack of respect. Z deserves better :(”
This one is where you went from a discussion to an accusation, and this is why I’m all fired up. I have never, not once, heard it said that Zelda’s boundaries should change. But, while we’re on this subject, which boundaries are you talking about? The fact that Marie performed a dance of protection without Zelda’s permission? The fact that she turned a handshake into a “reading”? It’s unclear what specific instance you’re talking about, and this is important, because Zelda doesn't have a spotless past when it comes to boundaries. She has put a woman under a mind control spell, and you don’t see anyone crying Justice for Shirley Jackson when it comes to “boundaries” being crossed. We have to acknowledge that morality is subjective in CAOS. Morality in the Church of Night isn’t the same as morality in Christian-based codes of law.
There’s also a cultural element you’re ignoring, here, if you’re talking about how tactile Mambo Marie is compared to Zelda. You might see Zelda’s cultural boundaries as the default, but just because we’re still clinging to Puritanical culture in New England, doesn’t mean other cultures are wrong for being more tactile. We’re touch-starved in the Northeast, because we still hold onto these age-old traditions of touching = sex = the devil.
Have you ever seen Reaching for the Moon? Miranda Otto talks a lot about how she felt very “white” in Brazil, because the people there were so warm and loving and would just take you in their arms and hug you. She does a brilliant job in this interview discussing why it was so difficult for Bishop to trust that warmth and give/receive it herself. Bishop’s boundaries were constantly being crossed and challenged in a culture that doesn’t value introversion/aloofness as much as New England does.
This isn’t me saying Zelda should loosen up; that is absolutely not what I’m arguing here. I’m arguing that Mambo Marie is a bit like Lota, who is warm and tactile and will kiss you on both cheeks even if she’s never met you before, because that’s how it’s done. This isn’t an intentional breaking of a boundary; this is evidence that Marie and Lota come from backgrounds where it is much more accepted to embrace the people you just met, to touch them, to hold them close.
Is Marie still crossing a boundary? Yes. But to ignore that there is a cultural difference between them is to white-wash the encounter. My goal is not to say Marie is justified, or that Zelda just needs to accept Marie’s presumptuousness because she comes from a different culture, but rather that this needs to be a discussion between them. Zelda could’ve said, “We don’t turn a handshake into a psychic reading in my culture. Please don’t do it again,” but she doesn’t set that boundary. She allows the reading to happen, and doesn’t address that it wasn’t something she wanted. 
Can we also note that throughout this whole discussion, we’re assuming Zelda’s boundaries, because never once does Zelda actually state that Marie is crossing them, except when she performs the dance of protection? Besides that spell, Zelda never once verbally expresses that Marie is crossing a line with her. 
I’m so tired. We don’t have to ship the same thing, but I would never send anonymous messages to someone just because we don’t have the same ship. As I’ve addressed, half of your message was just repeating the points I made but twisting them to mean we therefore aren’t allowed to ship Zarie, and that Zelda deserves better. 
Zelda deserves better than these fucking fandom wars. If you don’t ship Zarie, that’s ok, but don’t come for us just because we’re excited that there’s a canon interracial sapphic ship on CAOS.
