SABRINA CARPENTER Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Buenos Aires (Nov 09, 2023)
pre-relationship quogan is actually so important to me🥲
BLOODSUCKER, FAME FUCKER, BLEEDING ME DRY LIKE A GODDAMN VAMPIRE !!
Nalini: You can’t date anyone.
Also Nalini: Yes, I brought home one of your classmates for dinner because he cried in my office and he’s also the same boy you don’t shut up about.
And the same Nalini: THIS IS ABOUT BEN GROSS????!
every note on this post is a signature for my petition for netflix to show us the deleted scenes of ben trying to put devi’s sari back on her while watching the youtube tutorial
Michelle: Hobie was so cool
Peter: Right?! That dude was so damn cool. Like I swear he’s a better Spider-Man than me.
Michelle: Uh-uh, don’t do that.
Peter: What?
Michelle: *kisses his cheek* Don’t start. You’re perfect. And that’ll never change.
Peter: That’s so… sweet… oh man.
Michelle: Hobie is great, but you’re Peter Parker of Earth-199999. And you’re mine. So there.
i will not be upstaged by a slut with mutant lungs
It's so cute how some people think Devi settled for Ben. They clearly watched another show. Whatever lets them sleep at night.
i don’t understand why some fanfiction writers will put all of there work in one giant paragraph. i am constantly abusing a paragraph break. i use it every five seconds. new subject? new paragraph. slightly different angle? new paragraph. any sentence that holds any amount of weight? boom new paragraph. i will use one word then do another paragraph break. you can’t stop me.
What I say: “I want Maitreyi and Jaren to star in a romantic comedy together because I think they work really well together”
What I mean: “I want them to star in a romcom together so I can pretend it’s really about Ben and Devi. So we can get the cute dating content we deserve”
We can talk about the factor that Quinn and Logan are getting married in Zoey 102.
QUINN AND LOGAN ARE GETTING MARRIED!!! MY ADOLESCENT DREAMS ARE COMING TRUUUUUE!!!! <3<3<3<3
My childhood is complete
The erasure of Andi Mack makes me so sad as someone who watched it as it was airing. I understand the show had issues regarding a Certain Actor, but it still makes me really sad for the people who worked on it. And because the show is such a gem. I want to write about Andi Mack in general one day, but because it's pride month I want to briefly talk about the show through that lens specifically.
Firstly, Andi Mack has so many episodes missing on Disney+ AND DisneyNow that it would be impossible to try to watch the series in full by using any of these apps. Until recently, DisneyNow had completely removed Andi Mack from its app, and put it back on with only an incomplete season three and without any of the games that were there originally (like Andi's Texts). This, I'm assuming, has to do with that Certain Actor, but the missing episodes has also made including Cyrus in any pride posts or collections harder than it should be (more on that in a second).
On Disney+, there is a "Pride Collection" which does not include anything Andi Mack related despite Cyrus being the first openly gay main character on Disney Channel. His coming out scenes (plural because of the individual scenes with Buffy, Andi and then Jonah) were extremely prominent not only to real people, but also to Cyrus' character as a whole. Two out of the three episodes where Cyrus comes out - "Hey, Who Wants Pizza?" (season 2, episode 1) | "Cyrus' Bash-Mitzvah!" (season 2, episode 13) | "One in a Minyan" (season 3, episode 11) - are not even available on Disney+, nor are any of them on DisneyNow (sidebar, Andi Mack isn't featured on DisneyNow 's pride section either). What's even more frustrating is that the series finale, "We Were Here", where Cyrus and TJ are confirmed to have mutual feelings for each other, are available on both Disney+ AND DisneyNow, yet it does not feature on either app's pride sections. Cyrus being gay wasn't just implied, he literally says the words "I'm gay" the third time he comes out and the second time he clearly says he has a crush on Jonah . It's not easy to overlook him as gay, and as a character who should be included in those pride collections, so his omission is clearly deliberate.
Even if the coming out episodes weren't featured, at the very least, any episode with Cyrus and TJ after they became friends should count; episodes like "For the Last Time", "The Cake That Takes the Cake", "Mount Rushmore or Less", "Something to Talk A-Boot" and of course the series finale. Surprising no one, only three of the Tyrus episodes I listed (and there are more) are actually on Disney+. I mean, they included a Miraculous episode in the Disney+ "Pride Episodes" collection that had the most minute blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene of Alec in a wig, so why not include any episode at all with TJ and Cyrus? Idk the whole thing is just very frustrating for so many reasons.
Last year during pride month, Terri Minsky (the creator of Andi Mack) reached out to me because she was also frustrated with the erasure of the show from the cultural zeitgeist. Her emails were heartbreaking, and I hated that after all the work I had put in to try to keep the legacy of Andi Mack alive - there was really nothing else I could do to help.
Terri ended up writing a letter to the people who worked at Disney in hopes of convincing them to make the other episodes available to stream. She reached out to all of the actors from the show and asked them to write letters as well (and several of them did). She asked me for advice, wondering if I had any ideas on how to prove to Disney that people still care about the show. Disney basically told her that there was no chance in hell that the rest of the show would make it to streaming.
And the worst part is that in the years since Andi Mack ended, most of the Disney employees who were there when it was on air and saw the impact it had have been replaced by new employees. So the people that Terri was trying to reason with had never even heard of the show. Like all it took was 3 years to erase the show so completely that even the people in charge of its fate don’t know what it is.
During the time in which these emails were being exchanged, the “Certain Actor” was finally sentenced. Just a few weeks after one of the producers of the show had the misfortune of running into him in public. We had hoped that once he was sentenced and the chances of people centering him in conversations about the show died down, that someone at Disney might change their mind or put in some effort to reframe the show’s legacy, but of course that never happened and probably never will.
I told Terri that it felt personal. That after the way they treated her during the Lizzie McGuire reboot fiasco, I couldn’t help but wonder if someone had it out for her work, specifically. She felt like she wasn’t important enough for someone to have it out for her which, like, again… fucking heartbreaking. The creator of two successful and important Disney titles left to feel like she’s unimportant and her work is irrelevant.
But the fact that in the aftermath of the Lizzie McGuire fallout, she was still more concerned about Andi Mack is really telling. She could have reached out at any point and asked me to help her fight for Lizzie (which I did anyways) but she didn’t. What bothers her the most is the disrespect towards Andi Mack because she is still so proud of that little show.
And the thing is, Disney’s decision to erase Andi Mack impacts real queer people. Not just those of us who saw ourselves in it or found ourselves because of it. But the queer actors and writers who worked so hard on it, who now get significantly less financial benefits from the show than they should. Having half of the episodes unavailable and failing to promote the ones that are directly takes money away from real queer folk.
Andi Mack was special. Those of us who watched it when it was airing knew this. The cast and crew knew this. Lightning in a bottle. It was personal. The fact that Cyrus’ character was named after a real queer person in Terri’s life. The fact that Cyrus’ coming out journey was integral to Joshua Rush’s own coming out journey. The fact that Cyrus’ coming out scene in which he said “I’m gay” was inspired by the episode writer Jonathan Hurwitz’ own coming out story. Like these were REAL queer stories and they should be remembered and celebrated as one of Disney’s greatest accomplishments. But instead the company has decided to bury them.
I’ve spent years talking about this and will continue to do so forever. If Disney won’t keep the show’s legacy alive, I will - in whatever capacity I can. And I won’t let people forget whose fault it is that the show has been forgotten about either.
And finally! If you want to watch Andi Mack, there is a link to all of the episodes in the post pinned on my blog. They are files that I personally uploaded, so I know they are safe. And if any of the files ever aren’t working for whatever reason, message me and I will reupload them.
Can one of the insane Florida men y’all have please fucking maul DeSantis to death
They need to cook up some kind of alligator mutant man and feed him a vodka redbull and just release him in that motherfucker’s house and let it rock and roll
Spoiler alert: adulthood is 96% of you going “well, I hope this is how it works and I’ll keep doing it till someone yells at me”
I like these posts because you read them as a teenager and you think, ‘surely these people are blowing it out of proportion’
AND THEN YOU REACH ADULTHOOD
i am in my 40s and can fully fucking confirm this is a pretty big chunk of adulthood. the rest of it is mostly doing what you’ve figured out you definitely don’t get yelled at for.
the other 4% is figuring out ‘did I deserve to get yelled at for this’ and proceeding accordingly
Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed
