I was just looking for Steven Universe concept art…
i dont know if im too woke for this opinion but is this not racist????? making the character that you think "has a crush on her slave owner" ashy and more "passive" and "sweeter" seems like certainly A Choice
yeah no i was just talking to my friend abt it because this and making her super submissive and soft and giving her “issues with not being owned” this is actually just racist this guy is going to hell

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically
watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/
QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
my favorite girls who don't know they're girls
I don’t personally care if you draw Steven skinny in fanart but i am on my knees begging this fandom to stop treating him being fat is like a concept and arguing he isn’t fat, because if I see any more people hassling artists for the crime of drawing him as his actual body type in tiktok comments sections and going “erm actually he isn’t fat” I Will start throwing hands. Respect fat people and artists or perish!!!!
The world has been so incredibly vicious and cruel to trans women, especially recently, so I want every single trans women reading this to know: you are loved, you are beautiful, you deserve to live, you make the world a better place just by existing in it, and for every asshole out there who is cruel to you, there are people out there who still want to fight for your right to exist as human beings.
as someone who grew up homeschooled: fandom discourse is basically just high school bullying. the thing you got relentlessly harassed and bullied over suddenly becomes hip and cool with the very same popular kids that bullied you for it and now it’s okay and even cool to be into said thing
your mom jokes don't work when you know someone too well. I would never be in bed with such a wicked woman. That's not even what I had your mom saying last night. I wouldn't speak to her.
surely there has to be another option between "churning out 20-episode seasons every year and the actors never see their family or friends and don't have time to do any other job and hate the show at this point" and "maybe you'll get 8 episodes every 2 to 4 years :)"
Shout out to the dickhead on tiktok that made me take down every single page of my comic from "Boy in the Bubble" onwards from Tapas because they didn't want to do the monumental task of adding a link to my account on their reposts of my art👍I do this for free and I don't ask for much. Give artists the bare minimum respect, please, or you get nothing
You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.
Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…
…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.
Adding onto this: characters who are so deeply repressed that they don't even realize they're not fine, or at the very least not supposed to be fine. Characters who do tell you about a situation they're in that should be bad, but instantly laugh it off saying they can handle it (spoiler: they can, in fact, not handle it). Characters who laugh with you and listen to all your woes and much later you learn that they were actually going through something at least equally bad at the time, but they wave it off and don't want to speak of it. Characters whose main coping mechanism seems to be "don't think about it" on endless loop.
Basically, the fictional embodiment of the "this is fine" dog.
insane 67-dollar phone at target

Steven Universe got blatantly and unapologetically cancelled by the network because the creators pushed for a lesbian wedding, and instead of going, "oh, fuck, that's incredibly homophobic, we should give Cartoon Network hell for that for the rest of forever, holy shit," everyone collectively decided to blame the crew for "rushing the ending" as if it wasn't completely out of their hands. Fuck's sake.
"Ren why do you even care so much?"
Because I study queer media history as a hobby, am working on an intense project on media censorship, and the way Steven Universe was treated is a fucking textbook example of queer content getting shut down by the powers-that-be.
It was literally censored in reaction to its inclusion of queer content. This isn't a secret and it never has been. Rebecca Sugar has been completely open about how hard they had to fight against homophobia at Cartoon Network. Steven Universe is a case study of anti-queer censorship from a mindset of "think of the children."
Steven Universe is a historically significant piece of queer media, and watching in real-time as it went from "progressive queer show" to "the subject of the most rancid bad-faith discourse I have ever seen" is genuinely alarming to me as a queer media hobby-historian.

"Cancellation" doesn't just mean "immediately ended." Cancellations can include shortenings.

Transcript:
Rebecca Sugar: After the publication of The Answer in 2016, I was pulled into a meeting and asked to explain myself. I had been told to play down this relationship, and now it existed as a book. In every meeting like this, I would defend our stories and our audience of queer youth--they deserve cartoons and picture books, too. I would leave these meetings feeling rattled. I drew this self-portrait the night of The Answer book meeting. [Portrait not included in this photo.]
Transcription:
We decided it would be an inexorable part of the story. And then the back-and-forth started, and no one wanted to say the real concerns, so instead it was, "Will this appeal to our demographic of six-to-eleven-year-old boys?" But Ben 10 had an alien wedding, Powerpuff Girls had a wedding--there was no question that the Cartoon Network audience would definitely watch a wedding. Arguments were made that it was "out of character" for Steven to want a wedding, but we'd covered our bases there with the episode "Open Book" [S1E51], which had already aired ages ago. It's old news that Steven loves weddings. I wouldn't bend on the story, and every time there was a concern about it not being entertaining enough, I would add more: A big musical number! A huge fight! A half-hour special! This thing will be so entertaining it'll blow kids' hair back!
"But if Steven Universe gets a gay wedding, then every show is going to want a gay wedding!" "YES!" I said. "GOOD! WHY NOT???"
Eventually the decision came down from on high: We could have the wedding. I knew that was an extremely difficult call to make, and that we were going to be censored heavily and pulled in many countries because of it. And we didn't know at that time if this would mean the end of the show. It looked as if the writing was on the wall, and we were working toward the end.
I had been told this would be the final pickup for us, and I campaigned for an additional six episodes on the end of the season in order to wrap up the story--this became the Era 3 arc.
Navigating a cosmos of relationships was a lot for a young person like Steven as he attempted to find the good in everyone and hook that connection that would allow positive change to blossom in the minds of others. His powers were going to be put into the test in so many more ways as the series moved through this slate of episodes, building steam toward an interplanetary conflict.
End transcript.
I will never understand people who don’t care about context. Rebecca Sugar fought as hard as she could for what we got, and there was a hell of a price to be paid for it, and people shriek about how the show is horrible because it doesn’t do enough. The same people accuse the writers of Legend of Korra of cynical, intentional queerbaiting because it didn’t do enough. They’re whinging about how She-Ra didn’t do enough. Are they already bitching about how The Owl House sucks because IT doesn’t do enough?
And not fucking once have these people stopped to think that Korrasami being confirmed with handholding and a loving gaze was literally as far as things could be pushed at the time, or that Ruby and Sapphire’s wedding could not have happened without that. She-Ra and The Owl House couldn’t go where they did without Legend of Korra and Steven Universe going where they did first.
You know what that’s called, where things get better one step at a time? Progress.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
#you can be disapointed by how something ended while still understanding that the creators did *everything they could* (tag by @last-flight-of-fancy)
FUCKING THIS!!!!!
